Go on and Kiss the Girl...

Once there was a beautiful young mermaid who was sweet and good and righteous.  She listened and obeyed and enjoyed much happiness because of her faithfulness.  She was temped to go against what she felt was right, but always decided on sticking to her beliefs.  Even her parents were amazed at the standards she set for herself.

Eventually the mermaid became of age and started to strike out on her own.  Now that she was older, some of her standards were able to be breached.  She had never wanted to date any mermen on a serious basis because they still had important work to do.  Once she got old enough to date older mermen, ones who had fulfilled their missions, a whole new world opened up for her.

One day a cute merman noticed the sweet mermaid and asked her on a date.  She thought he was just dreamy and smiled clear to her fins.  These two spent much time together over the next few months not quite knowing what their future held.  The mermaid was so enchanted and very much wanted the merman to look at her the same way too!

After a fun night of flitting about the ocean, the merman escorted the mermaid to her home.  After an awkward hug and a kiss on the cheek, the very excited mermaid  floated to her room.  After a little underwater texting, she came to realized he had wanted to actually kiss her.  She went away feeling so wonderful and he went away feeling like a failure.  After straightening out their misunderstanding, he assured her there'd be another time.  This made the mermaid very nervous because she'd never kissed a merman before!  She told him she couldn't kiss anyone that wasn't her boyfriend and he confirmed that he was indeed her boyfriend.  All's right in the ocean ♥

The next day they had made plans to go see the jellyfish perform.  She felt nervous and sick all day.  Finally he came to pick her up and off they went.  The performance was LONG.  She didn't mind though, because he held her hand the whole time.  Once it was time for all the mermaids to be home for the night, he swam her up to the front porch.  Not nervous at all now, and knowing it was coming, the handsome merman kissed the little mermaid.  And then he kissed her again.

The glowing mermaid went to her clam shell and had sweet dreams of rainbows and guppies and first kisses. But before she could go to sleep, she had to change her facebook status to "in a relationship".  There's only one first kiss and she was so glad she had waited so hers could be just like it was.
