Luca was minding his business taking care of the goatfish. Until he stumbled a human on a surface.To his surprise he discovered something about the girl.

Luca is 13 in a half and You are 14

————————————————————

"AHHH!!! Fish out of the barn again!!" Luca grunt while collecting all of the goatfish back in place.

It only took him a few minutes have every fish back in place, even counting the babies.

"Alright, stick behind me! You guys need to stop spreading around the town...it's a big issue..." So the troop swam out to the open fields and the same area where Luca is on guard.

"If anyone needs me, I'll be sitting right here...as always." So he just lays on the rock while looking bored as ever.

Not sure what to do except blowing bubbles and doodle some sketches on a rock, that's how bored being a fish shepherd could be...I mean if they can make it fun for themselves.

Luca continues to draw on the rock, until he spotted something falling down from the surface...it looked like a odd shaped thing...he decides to check it out for himself. He swam over to where the item sunk, picking it up to see that this thing has writing stuff inside...it was a book!

Where did this book come from...? How did it sink under the sea?

That is when he spotted a small boat over him...he began to panic knowing it's a land monster who'll kill him...

However...he heard a soft voice coming from the land boat...it sounded like a girls voice...so sweet and soothing...almost young...
So he swam up to a big rock to hide behind and takes a look at the land monster...to his big surprise...it was indeed a girl.

She looked worried and a little sad...

"This was a bad idea to read at sea..." the girl said to herself. He thought that this book may have belonged to her.

Luca also felt a little calm, seeing that she's not too scary looking...she looked somewhat pretty. Smooth skin, no scales at all, soft looking land hair and rosey cheeks.

He took a deep breath and maybe give it back to her without being too scared...

So he dived back down into the water and swam under the boat, tucking his tail in so she wouldn't see.

Then he heard her talk to herself again.

"My librarian is gonna be so mad at me...I guess I'll have to tell them it's overdue or I lost it...at least I'm being truthful..."

The girl looked down, getting ready to head back to land but suddenly saw a scaley hand poking out of the water...seeing her book which made her freaked out...but also relieved.

"Mamma Mia! My book!" She grabbed it and hugged it close to her chest.

She saw the hand going back down, but she felt curious what did it or who brought it up here just for her to have back.

"Scusami...I don't know what you are...but I just wanted to say grazie. It means a lot to me and if only I know what you look like...so I could thank you in person..."

Luca heard it all...hiding under the boat...maybe the girl didn't sound too bad...so he took another deep and popped his head out from the water, looking up at the girl with those big hazel eyes of his.

This made the girl surprised how strange yet adorable Luca looked.

"Santa Bolognese...y-you-"

Luca stopped her before she's gonna expose him to her people.

"A sea monster yes...please don't kill me! I mean no harm! I just saw this and I wanna give it back to you...that's all I did...please don't turn me into those tuna in a can!" He panicked out with words but the girl begin to question and shrugged it off.

"We'll...first of all, I bless you for doing so...second of all, I'd never do that to you...and third of all...I was gonna say that you are beautiful." She said with a soft blush which made the sea boy flush a deep blue...

"B-beautiful...?" He questioned and the girl nodded.

"You know..I've never seen a sea monster up close ...your not so scary or threatening like those stories people tell back at home." She leaned close from the edge of the boat to get a better look at Luca, almost admiring him with interest.

"W-well...I'd say the same thing with you land monsters...your not so dangerous like how my parents say you are." The two giggled and looked back at one another.

To break the awkward silence. "I never got your name, sorry for asking so soon." She giggled nervously while tilting her head a bit.

"Luca Paguro, and you?" He comes a little closer to place his hand on the boat.

"Y/n L/n, Piacere." She leans in to kiss his cheek which made Luca's face turned full blue.

"You seem really nice, we should hang out sometimes." She states and he agrees dearly, maybe he'd get to learn about her life and she'll learn his! Maybe they'd have something in common!

Sadly the time is up...why? Because Y/n heard a horn coming from another boat, which is her fathers heading towards her.

"Mio Dio! Mi pappa!" She begin to freak out and looked down at Luca.

"I guess you should be going now, huh?" Luca asked in worry and Y/n looked over at her father not paying attention but is fixing up his music player. She looked back down at him.

"Let's meet up by the shore behind the rocks, later tomorrow." She smiled and Luca nodded "I won't forget! Tomorrow at noon!"

Y/n giggled and lean in to kiss his cheek again. "Ciao Luca~" she placed her book down and row herself to her father and Luca swam back down to the goatfish, feeling happy inside his heart, finally befriended a human!!

Would this change history between sea monsters and land monsters! Coming together and end the fight and slaughtering?

"I can't wait to tell Giuseppe about this!" He said to himself.

Back at the surface. Y/n waved at her father which he looks suspicious already.

"Who were you talking to principessa?" He asked and she gulped, looking down and back to him.

"My book...sometimes I do that" she giggled nervously and he raised an eyebrow.

"...alright then. Hope you didn't see any sea monsters...if you do. I'd kill them for trying to hurt my baby girl..." he held the harpoon in his arm and placed it near his fishnets.

Y/n gulped and nodded quickly. "S-si pappa."

So she went back to shore and is feeling worried when her father finding out she actually did meet a sea monster...yet a sweet and kind one who immediately stole her heart.

"I have to be careful..." she said to herself.

—Back in the ocean—

"Luca! You are 15 minutes later, where have you been?" Daniella asked with worried, making sure her son isn't hurt or injured.

"Did the land monsters get you?" She continued to question and Luca sighed.

"No mom, Giuseppe was being a little party pooper and swam around and I tried to catch him." Luca made up a reasonable lie so he wouldn't be in too much trouble after meeting Y/n.

"Okay..I'll buy that one...you know how dangerous land monsters are...made to kill us and turn us into canned tuna."

Luca felt worried that his mom is gonna find out soon that he actually met a land monster which he already felt a connection...

He couldn't wait to see her again tomorrow!
