Once y/n got back to Savanaclaw, Ruggie told her to change her clothes so he could wash her uniform for tomorrow and that she and Grim should get ready to help him out.

He had given her some of his old clothes since they're almost the same height and he even said she can keep it. Y/n was lucky she had enough time pack extra underwear, cause no way she was about to wear boy's underwear, even if they're boxers,[I'm starting to put a collection together at this point.] she thought as she fiddles with the bandana a bit.

"Today I'm going to have you clean up Leona's room." Ruggie announces as he stood before the Ramshackle Duo with hands on his hips,"Work to earn your keep, herbivores." Leona shouts from his bed and y/n rolls her eyes at him.

"Worked to death by Azul and now worked to death by Leona... I'm dead on my feet here. Boohoohoo." Grim whines with teary eyes,"What you want us to do, Ruggie?" y/n asks with a hand on her hip,"First, you're gonna wanna get all the clothes strewn about into the laundry basket then organize the stuff on his desk." Ruggie explains as he gives the girl the laundry basket before walking over to Leona's desk.

"Accessories go in this drawer, books over on that case. After putting everything away, wipe it down with a rag." he adds and y/n nods before getting started with picking clothes up while Grim trudges over to the desk,"You're not a kid so at least clean up after yourself." he grumbles at Leona, who gives him a pointed look.

"Huh? You say something?" he narrows his eyes at the little monster,"Eeep... Nothing at all." Grim squeaks in fright before jumping onto Leona's desk,"Time to get this messy desk cleaned..." he utters as he sorts through them before eyeing the very luxurious accessories strewn on the surface,"Oh!? There's a bunch of expensive looking accessories just sitting here. And his wallet too!" he spots the leather pouch nearby before sneaking a glance over to a sleepy Leona.

"If he's got this much then he probably wouldn't notice if one went missing, right? It's his fault for being so defenseless. Heeheehee..." he quietly snickers as he reaches out for a small accessory.

"Stop that. That's the one I'm aft... no." Ruggie shakes his thieving thoughts away after snatching up the accessory Grim was aiming for,"He'll notice right away if it goes missing." he tells him before turning to Leona just as y/n finishes gathering up all the clothes.

"Leona, I'm always telling you to stop leaving your valuables out in the open. It's too late if they get taken!" he scolds the lazy prince,"Shut up. Are you my mom or something?" Leona grumbles as his tail twitches a bit,"It's not a big 'a deal if it gets stolen. It doesn't matter what I do with it. If someone's got the guts to steal from me then go ahead." he shrugs in an uncaring way.

"I'm telling you that it is a big deal. It's the ones who treat money frivolously that cry over one madol. This is what you get being raised with privilege..." Ruggie sighs and that's when a light bulb goes off in y/n's head as she drops the basket,"THAT'S IT-!!"

This startles everyone, even Leona who almost falls off his bed,"Waah!! What happened?" Grim jumps in alarm as he looks at her,"Don't go shouting all of the sudden." Leona scowls as he sits up in bed.

"Azul! The reason he puts his contracts in the vault is because they're not invincible! He'd be in real big trouble if they were to get stolen, so he puts them in there!" y/n grins widely at this revelation,"I was so stupid to not have figured this out before!" she lightly slaps her forehead at this.

"Huh...?" Ruggie gives her a smirk,"... Hah! Hahaha! That's it, now I see! You thought of something pretty interesting." Leona praises with a big grin as he gets up from his bed,"What? What do you mean by 'interesting'?" Grim asks with clear confusion on his face.

"In short..." Leona proceeds to explain to Grim about what's so 'interesting' and how they found a hole in Azul's Unique Magic,"I got it!!! Y'know!!" Grim jumps in glee,"Now that we know the contracts' weak point we have to sneak into Octavinelle immediately and..."

"There's one more problem." Ruggie interrupts him,"Wha-?" Grim looks up at him,"If your hunch is correct then the Leech brothers will be there to run interference. Honestly, you're going to need a better strategy for dealing with them that the vault, I think." Ruggie states as he pats y/n's shoulder.

"Crap. It felt like we were really onto something." Grim's ears droop a little,"So if we can do something about the Leech brothers...?" y/n cups her chin in thought before eyes Leona and Ruggie with a smirk and a certain glint in her eye.

"Hey. What're you thinking now? I think I've got the general idea, but... I will absolutely not help." Leona immediately declines her despite not hearing her plan yet,"But why?" y/n whines,"Getting involved in troublesome stuff just isn't my style. Anything related to that octo-punk, more so." Leona tells her with crossed arms.

"No way, now way. Just give up now." Ruggie tells her with a wave of his hand,"Hmph. You're a cold jerk." Grim glares at them and y/n cracks her knuckles,"Grim... Get ready." she says lowly and Grim looks up at her,"Why?" he asks.

Y/n steps up to Leona and then proceeds to poke his chest bravely,"Cause one way or another, we're going to force you to help us, Your Majesty." she promises,"Do your worst, Herbivore." Leona grins smugly at her.

Let's just say, he regretted his words later on.

So, later that night. Y/n went to bed with a satisfied smile until she starts to stir in her bed and the mirror glowed back in Ramshackle Dorm once more.

Once her eyes snaps open, she finds herself hovering over a lake and in the distance is the princess and most likely the prince she must make fall for her. They're both found in a rowing boat at the dead of night,"What a classy romantic evening." y/n smiles at this softly.

"At least tell me your name." the prince asks with a smile,"Her name is Ariel!" a voice whisper shouts beside y/n, who jumps at the sight of a talking crab,"Okay, talking crabs. Peachy." she utters to herself.

"That's a pretty name. Ariel..." the prince smiles before leaning in to kiss Ariel, but their boat suddenly tips over, sending them into the water and ruining their romantic moment. That's when y/n spots two familiar eels spying on them and most likely the culprits for spoiling their moment together,"No..." she whispers as dread starts to twist in her stomach. Then, everything went dark, but the voice of the Sea Witch is heard.

"That girl is tougher than I thought. I'll show you what my magic is really capable of!"

Then the scene changes to Ariel being held captive by the two eels while the Sea Witch is grinning wickedly at a merman glaring at her. Y/n could she he was old, but in very good health and was wearing a crown and had a trident at hand,"A trident...? King... Triton...?" y/n whispers with wide eyes.

"Ursula, enough! Release my daughter." the king demands, but Ursula shows off the contract Ariel signed,"She belongs to me now. But I'll gladly make a trade." Ursula bargains as she makes a new contract appear and holds it out to the king.

"Her, for someone more valuable. King Triton, accept the deal and sign the contract!" she urges as King Triton gives a look of defeat and y/n could watch helplessly as this happens before her eyes.

She blinks once, then twice and realizes that's she's looking up at the ceiling of Leona's room,"She... She wanted everything from the start. That's some real shady business. Scary..." she whispers to herself before turning on her side and falling asleep, though she felt Grim cuddle up to her.

The next morning, y/n was already up and about, so she was sitting on the single couch in Leona's room, a look of concentration on her face,"These dreams I'm having... They always spike a sense of familiarity in my head, but I can't place my finger on it of where I've seen them all before. That and I get the feeling that they're linked to reality somehow."

"They all feel too real to just be a regular old dream..." she tells herself, but sighs in defeat when her mind draws a blank. She turns her head to Leona's bed when she hears said lion yawn, then growl followed by a frustrated sigh as he sits up in bed.

"Well good morning Your Majesty. Hope you slept well." y/n smirks teasingly as she gets up from the couch in favor of standing before Leona with an expression that reads victory,"Huh?" Leona squints at her with eyes that reads exhaustion.

"... Are you already awake?" he questions as his expression twists to that of annoyance,"Well duh!" y/n rolls her eyes at him before yelping when Leona pulls her onto his bed and pins her down on her stomach with her one arm pinned behind her back.

"... How dare you look well rested? Thanks to you I couldn't sleep at all..." he growls and y/n laughs at this,"Worth it!" she laughs and Leona clicks his tongue as he releases her,"Tch... Today is the promised third day. No matter how it goes, I'm throwing you guys out at sunset. Be prepared." he warns her as he gets up to get ready,"Whatever, Your Majesty." y/n rolls her eyes at him as she gets off his bed and leaves.

After meeting up with her friends in the courtyard and explained her entire plan to them while they gave her looks of disbelief,"... Are you serious?" Jack was the first to break the silence,"Dead serious, so we're going to the Atlantica Memorial Museum today. To that end, let's haul our asses over to the Coral Sea." y/n says with a grin.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Didn't we talk about how getting the photo was impossible since the Leech brothers will come after us!?" Ace was quick to stop her as he places a hand on her arm,"Even I think that's a little too crazy..." Deuce admits.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... You've gotta listen to our plan first..." Grim tells them before coughing, his voice a little hoarse,"What's your problem? A cold?" Ace asks,"Not at all. I was yelling a bunch yesterday so..." Grim waves him off and the boys turn to y/n for an explanation.

"I'll tell you guys later." she says,"Wait, that's not important right now. I've gotta explain our plan first. Listen up..." Grim butts in and explained their entire plan to the boys.

"Whaaaaaaat!?!?" they scream in shock,"Are you serious about that? That course of action is way too bold." Ace remarks,"Amazing. Y/n, you've got some insane determination." Deuce says with a proud smirk,"But is it all really going to go that well...?" Jack questions with a bit of doubt.

"No plans are perfect, but we gotta work with what we've got." y/n says and Deuce nods in agreement,"We've come this far so we've got no choice but to gamble on y/n's idea." he says before checking his watch,"There's not a lot of time until sunset." he notes.

"True, I'd rather not just wait around for sunset to come and go." Ace comments as he laces his hands behind his head,"... Fine. Then we don't have time to stand around, let's go." Jack says before grinning at y/n,"Y/n, you're really unstoppable once you've made up your mind." he praises.

"Thanks." y/n chirps before Ace slaps her back,"There are times when you're too bold, though." he says and y/n pout glares at him,"Alright. Let's get this show on the road!" Ace cheers with a fist in the air,"We depart for the Atlantica Memorial Museum to get that photo! Y'know!" Grim follows his lead as they all leave for the Hall of Mirrors.

Lucky the twins weren't there, but their only problem now is,"Closed!?!?" the group scream in disbelief once they reached Atlantica Memorial Museum, which was closed by the way. So lady luck wasn't on their side at that moment.

"Whoa, whoa... This is too unlucky." Jack says with dread,"We haven't been attacked by the Leech brothers at all today, did they know about this?" Deuce wonders out loud,"Well... I wonder about that." Ace mutters,"Obviously they knew!" y/n ruffles her hair in frustration.

"Are you saying we should run with our tails between our legs after coming all the way here?" Jack questions with displeasure,"...Wait a second. I've got an idea." Ace announces before he swam behind a chunk of coral, the others following behind him. They all peek over to spy on some mermen guarding the place.

"Fffna! In the world of merfolk, even the security guard are merfolk." Grim notes and y/n wonders of Grim lost a few braincells when that anemone grew out of his head,"Why are you stating the obvious...?" Deuce sweatdrops at him.

"Okay, let's not lose track. Ace, tell us your plan." y/n quickly say,"Okay. I'll keep the mer-security's attention on me. You guys sneak in from the back and get out with that photo." Ace explains to them with a grin,"Not bad Ave. I like that idea!" y/n gives him a thumbs up and her own grin, causing the boy to become a bit bashful.

"You gonna be okay by yourself?" Jack asks with a bit of concern laced in his tone,"Jack, you're too honest for your own good, Deuce would get tripped up half way through. Leave this to me." Ace says with confidence before swimming over to a merman.

"Uuhwaaahh, you serious!?" he held a crestfallen expression as he shouts this while Jack signals the others to follow behind him,"... Hm? What's wrong with you?" merfolk A asks with a raised brow as his buddy went inside the museum to do his patrol there.

"Is the museum closed today? I can't believe this. I was looking forward to coming here so much..." Ace pouts as he shows sad eyes,"Oh my... you've got a strange tail fin. Are you a human from the surface? Did you come here alone?" merfolk A asks with furrowed brows.

"Yes! I've admired the world of the merfolk since I was a little kid. I've been saving up my allowance and bought a potion to finally come all the way here." Ace says with passion before leaning a bit closer to the guard,"Holy crap, a real merman! So cool! Do you mind if I get a closer look?" he asks with an eager smile,"Oh-oh, really? Do you want to see my dorsal fin?" merfolk A offers with a kind smile.

Meanwhile, the rest quietly snuck in from behind the guard,"Wow, that guy really has no problem keeping up a lie." Grim remarks with half-lidded eyes,"That's Ace for you." y/n sighs,"The security is completely distracted by the conversation. Let's get in while we have the chance!" Deuce whispers and they quickly snuck inside.

Y/n was in awe at the interior and the displays that are displayed for all to see,"This is incredible." she whispers with glimmering eyes,"...This is the place Azul pointed out." Jack says as he swims over to a wall covered with many photos.

"Photo commemorating the visit by Imperial Musician: Horatio the 12th... Photo commemorating the visit by the fourth princess..." he reads through them,"There's a bunch on display. It's true that they probably wouldn't notice if one went missing." he says as y/n looks through the photos as well along with Deuce.

"The photo commemorating Prince Rielle's visit 10 years ago... Here. Isn't this it?" Deuce points to a certain picture that held a bunch of little merkids on it smiling at the camera,"'Prince Rielle, visiting with his friends from school...'" he reads,"It looks like it's from when they came during elementary school." he notes as y/n leans closer towards the picture to get a better look.

"There's a bunch of tiny merfolk in it." Grim says as he peers at the photo while y/n studies each face on it, her focus lasting longer on a young boy with red hair and a green mermaid tail,"He... kinda reminds me of someone." she mumbles to herself softly.

"Why did he order us to get something like this?" Jack questions with crossed arms,"I don't know... Anyway, we should take this and get it back to Azul so we can remove the anemones. Let's get it." Deuce nods towards the entrance and y/n carefully took the picture off the wall and held it delicately in her hands.

"It didn't trip the alarm. It's really just a plain old memorial photo... Threw off my groove a bit." Jack says with mild disappointment,"...Hm? What are you all doing there!?" merfolk B shouts from behind them and the group turns to face him with dread written on their expressions.

"Ffgna! Crap, it's the guards." Grim panics,"Shit, what're we gonna do now?" y/n hisses under her breath,"Can't be helped that everything doesn't go according to plan. We're gonna have you take a nap!" Jack shouts as he whips out his magical pen.
