"Oh..." Sheng said to himself, letting Ariel lead him away.
Was this how a double date was SUPPOSED to work?
Sheng hoisted himself out, very much aware of Ariel watching him. He tried not to let it go to his head, but he was very pleased that she was delighted by his body. He certainly was drawn to hers... as a human and mermaid. Though really, it was her brave spirit that drew him to her.
He spotted towels near the wheel, ready to go. There was clutter atop of the first one, which dropped to the floor when took it. He wasn't usually this clumsy... but there was a mermaid watching and he was dripping everywhere. Along with everything else clattering to the floor, there was a small ringing noise, like a coin dropping and rolling off the deck into the water. Sheng didn't think much of it at first as he dropped to the floor to pick up the fallen items.
"Do you think they will be hungry soon?" Sheng asked, not wanting to sound impatient... but it was much later in the noon and they had arrived mid-morning...

"Who knows I am sure they will be getting hungry soon. Why do all my double dates end up crazy? You know I had one that was so insane... I couldn't even start to explain it to you." Ariel said rambling while watching the water dripping down Sheng's chest.
Several very dirty things went though Ariel's head and she blushed. "If they don't come back soon we can steal the ship." Ariel laughed she was kidding of course but she would use that threat on Alana and Eric if they didn't get over here soon.

Sheng laughed at her threat, imagining a mermaid stealing a ship, sitting at the captain's wheel and hat as he picked up the mess he had made. The last item was a small velvet box, slightly opened. He blinked at it, putting it together that THIS was what Eric had wanted to bring Alana out here for. He felt immediately guilty...
That's when he realized that it was empty...the little slit inside meant to hold a ring was barren. Perhaps Eric had taken it with him?
Then Sheng's head reared up, his face getting pale. Or... maybe that 'coin' that had dropped to the floor... and off the ship...
"Ta ma de... Ni shi bai chi!" Sheng swore at his own stupidity. He slowly walked over to Ariel, box in hand. "Ariel..." He showed her the empty box, eyes wide. "I... I think when I took the towel... it fell out... and into the water..."

It took Ariel a few minutes to put together what he was saying, "Oh Shit... Okay I'll look," Ariel looked over only to see Alana and Eric heading towards them.
"Okay close the box I can look a bit at see what I can find stall them! He wont give it to her with us here." Ariel told him diving in the waters.

Alana came up, having satisfied him. Her cheek was pressed to his stomach as his breathing returned to normal, her hand wandering up his chest, to his neck. She didn't think he could feel the wetness in her eyes, being wet already from sea water and sweat. She was so glad she could do SOMETHING for him...
...but it couldn't be together... not while she was like this. A mermaid. She kissed up his chest, putting on a seductive smile to hide the insecurity from her face. "I'm hungry...are you?" she asked, giving him a peck on the cheek. "We should join the others....'

Eric brushed her tears away with his thumb, "Alana its okay." He pulled her to him for a deep kiss. "We will find a way and yes I'm hungry too lets go eat." He took her hand and got back into the cool water.
He held her for a moment before letting her go and following her back to the boat.

STALL??
"But how do I-" Ariel dove under water before he could ask for stalling tactics. He wasn't a very good liar. He looked at the box in his hands and closed it, hiding it out of sight in a storage compartment. He straightened up as Eric boarded, looking very happy.
"Hello..." Sheng gave a nervous wave.

"Hey ready to eat?" Eric asked opening his mini fridge.
"So where did Ariel go?" Eric asked opening his basket and getting out wine. "Oh can you grab four wine glasses?" Eric asked Sheng.
He set out the sandwiches for all of them and all the other stuff he brought. "I hope you guys are hungry? I am thinking its probably easier to bring the girls on the ship." Eric said looking at Sheng, "What do you think?"

"She's...freshening up..." Sheng offered. What? HOW does a mermaid freshen up? She's submerged in WATER. "Bathroom..." He amended. Fish did that, right? "She'll be back momentarily. Glasses you said?" He quickly went over to get what Eric asked of him. "Yes... I think that would be a good idea, as long as they don't dry out?" Sheng replied. He wasn't sure on how long Ariel could be out of the water... her being a mermaid being so recent.

"Oh well okay." Eric knew next to nothing about mermaid's bathroom things. So he figured Alana would find Ariel.
"So as best I can figure they can be out of the water for a little while as long as their tails stay wet. So I can wet towels to put over their fins for a little while." Eric set up the table.
"So how long have you been seeing Ariel?" He asked making conversation.

"Seeing Areil? For about a month and a half." Sheng replied. "She is a student of mine at the local dojo, which I own and teach at."

Eric smiled, "She is really a great person." He told Sheng as he poured a few glasses of wine.
"Okay well I will get Alana I am sure Ariel will be back soon." Eric walked out looking for Alana.
"Ready to come aboard?" He asked giving her a smirk. "I meant my ship Alana." He chuckled leaning down to kiss her on her cheek before helping her on to his ship by lifting her into his strong arms.

Ariel was frantically searching everywhere for that ring. How far could it have gone? She wasn't sure.
She should have been able to see it well it was okay as long as Alana didn't find it first. Ariel realized she needed to stop looking maybe she could come back tonight but how to do so with out Alana following her? Ariel thought maybe if Sheng came with her then Alana would think they needed alone time which they did but right now it would be about finding that ring.
Alana would be so happy if Eric proposed but she was sure it would be awkward if the ring wasn't actually there... damn it. Ariel hit the surface looking around for Sheng. She got up in time to see Eric bringing Alana onto his ship.

Sheng saw Ariel surface and went over to the edge of the boat, kneeling down. "Did you find it?" He asked, his face stern with worry. He offered a hand to her to help her on to the boat, wet towel ready.

Ariel shook her head no, "Don't worry I have a plan." She whispered to him as he helped her onto the boat.
Ariel sat down on the boat it was rather awkward with a tail but she managed pretty well.
"Well thanks for bringing us food Eric." Ariel said looking at all the food he laid out. Alana was a lucky women and Ariel was so happy for her. He was even going to marry her if Ariel could find that damn ring... She would come back tonight and scour the ocean floor Ariel wouldn't give up not for something that would come to mean so much to her sister.
