Alex started for a moment, but this quickly passed. She was basically a goddess of water, why shouldn't she be able to talk to his moray eel? Alex brushed some of the sand off of her, gently.

Aukai rolled her eyes at the eel. She turned to Alex and stated, "He says he doesn't like the new food you've been giving him." She shrugs. "Sorry. He asked me to tell you." She yawned and her eyes turned a murky gray/green. She sighed. "I don't know what I'm going to do anymore… Now that I'm basically stuck on land…." Seaweed appeared in her hair and her hair bound itself up. Her sun dress turned into blue jeans and a blue sleeveless shirt with a sea turtle design on it.

"I- okay, I'll go back to the shrimp." Alex stood, holding his hand out to Aukai.
"I don't know either, but I'll tell you one thing; we're gonna figure this out together."

Aukai turned her swampy-green eyes to him. "Why do you want to help me?" She fiddled with her shirt hem and thought about all the waters she wouldn't be able to protect now…

"Well, you aren't the only one here who wants to protect the oceans." Alex tilted his head and smiled.
"And we'll do it together."

Aukai's eyes lit up. "Ok." She stood and brushed herself off. "Well, you seemed to be in a hurry to get somewheres, so when you're done with whatever it was, I'll be waiting at the beach. I need to make sure Lu Lu's okay."

Alex nodded.
"Till then." He walked to the door, hesitating. He turned back to look at Aukai.
"Be safe, okay? We don't know what's causing this, and…" he trailed off.

Aukai shrugged. "I'm a goddess. I'm immortal. Don't worry about me. You be safe. And get Marco his shrimp." She grinned and winked before disappearing in a salty sea breeze, leaving behind one more flower.

Alex spotted the flower. Quietly, he walked back to the bed and picked it up. He held it in his hand for a moment, then tucked it gently into the small pocket on his deck holder. He turned to Marco, rolling his eyes.
"You and I both know a variety in your diet is good for you." He laughed sweetly, leaving.

Aukai dove into the sea, turning back to her goddess form. She sighed with relief at the cool water. "Lu Lu!!"
Lu Lu swam up. "Aukai! I'm so happy you're back!!" the turtle was then confused then she said knowingly. "I smell a human male on you…~"
Aukai blushed and stammered, "Wh-what? W-well, yeah he k-kinda accidentally summoned me…"
Lu Lu just enjoyed the show of the Ocean goddess being absolutely flustered.

(Sure, just let me type out some drama real quick.)
Alex had pushed his bike to the gas station, where he had filled it up and bought a beef jerky stick. Now, he was at the park, volunteering with the younger children. As he watched them playing, someone put their hands over his eyes.
"Guess who?" A sweet feminine voice asked.
"Alley, I need to be watching the kids." Alex pushed Alley's hands off of her, turning around. A tall, long-haired blonde stood behind him.
"Oh? And you can see them better this way?"
They chatted for a while, laughing occasionally. Soon, Alley had to go. As she was leaving, she kissed Alex's cheek.
"See ya later, ya hunk!" Alley laughed walking away. Alex turned back to the children, herding them inside for snack time. He rubbed the place Alley had kissed him.

(I'll go)
Alex pulled into the parking lot of the beach. Swinging off, he stepped onto the sand. His jacket flapped in the breeze, and his hair gently waved.

Aukai perked when she felt someone step onto her beach. She smiled and jumped out of the water with her tail, did a flip and landed on her newly formed feet. She grinned at Alex. "Hey!"

Alex started a little, then smirked.
"Hey. So, we gonna look for a way to get you back to the ocean?"

Aukai shrugged. "I don't know. Do you have any ideas of where to start looking?" She walked towards him and tied her hair up with seaweed into a ponytail.

"Honestly, no." Alex rubbed the back of his neck.
"What if we tried dropping you off in the water past the reef? I know a friend who owes me a few favors, and he has a boat I could borrow…"

Aukai's eyes widened and shook her head. "BAD idea. You're friend could get hurt. How about I show you first?" She grabbed his hand and started pulling him towards the water.

"Um- okay then!" Alex moved next to Aukai, not trying to be a dead weight.

Aukai then realized. "Oops! You're not wearing a bathing suit!" She turned to him and studied him quickly before nodding and said, "Medium." Then she gestured and he was in a rash guard and trunks, his previous clothes neatly folded on the sand. "Okay! Let's go! She let go of him and ran for the water, diving in.

Alex gasped. Not because she had magically put him in swim trunks, but because she had guessed his size perfectly. As she dove, Alex backed up a few steps. He took a running start at the water, and dove in close to where Aukai had.

Aukai giggled under the water. "Well. I suppose you're going to want to breathe under here, aren't you?" She flapped her pretty tail and swam circles around him.

Alex nodded. He stared at her tail. It was… awesome.

Aukai zipped up in front of him and quickly pecked him on the lips. Now he could breathe. She blushed though and apologized. "Sorry, that's just the only way I can do it."
