Chapter Text
Ten years later
A nine-year-old girl played sunk her bare feet in the wet sand as the waves splashed onto her. She spun around, landing on her bottom as her dress got soaked. She couldn't help but laugh. She loved playing in the water, it had to be part of her mermaid heritage. She was only born over ten months after Yamato and Sera were married. She remembered them going on a ship to show her to her Father, Leo and all the Merfolk of the kingdom. She had a locket with her name on it that was given to her by King Samu. It was something she cherished because it was her connection to them.
Yamato and Tusk taught Sera and Amu everything about the human world. More importantly, a fork was not a comb for your hair. It's used to eat food with, which puzzled them for a while. Yamato and Sera eventually took over the kingdom so becoming King and Queen. After Mario stepped down from the throne. The best news of them all is when Sera learned she was expecting their daughter.
"Careful." Yamato tells her, helping his daughter up. As he bend down to help her up.
"I am fine Daddy." She tells her Yamato. Not bothering with the wetness at the bottom of her dress.
"It's getting late. We need to head back to the castle." Sera yells to them.
"Coming!" Stella calls back. "Come on Daddy . . ."
Sera had a little boy in her arms who was asleep, he was a toddler. The Little boy looked a lot like Yamato. She and Yamato affectionately kiss as they watched their daughter come over, Stella holds her Father's hand as Yamato smiled.
"We have to get him to bed." Sera says. "And you too." She addresses her daughter.
Sera got to see her family from time to time. Leo loved to especially play with his niece and he could wait to play with his nephew once he was old enough.
They also provided housing for Tusk and Amu and their six-year-old son. It was so nice having her best friend in the palace with her and Stella treated Tusk and Amu's son like one of her younger brother's. They were there on each other's Wedding's and the birth of their children. They will be together throughout their lifetimes. Nothing was going to change that . . .
"Daddy, Mom. Are Uncle Tusk and Aunt Amu still awake?"
"Yeah, I am sure their putting their son to sleep."
"Can I tell them good night before I go to bed?" She questioned.
"Of course you can?" They both agreed.
Meanwhile inside the palace. Amu was singing a lullaby as she tucked in her son. She felt a touch on her shoulder, it was her husband Tusk. She smiled at him as they held hands.
"Aunt Amu, Uncle Tusk." Stella calls out.
"Shhhhh. Quiet Sweetie. We just got him to sleep." Amu tells her.
Sera puts her son to bed as she quickly tucks him in his crib and gives him a kiss. She looks over as she sees her daughter hug Tusk and Amu. Before she went over to her, she bends down to give her a kiss. Yamato kisses her on the forehead as she heads to her bedroom.
"She is full spirit . . . just someone else I know." Amu remarks.
"Who?" Sera questioned in confusion.
"You silly."Amu firmly tells her, trying to keep herself from laughing.
"I was another like that . . ." Sera denies.
"Remember ten years ago. You dragged me along on that sunken ship. And we were attacked
"You were just as curious as I was . . ."
"Or when you wanted to go to the surface."
"And if we didn't go to the surface we wouldn't have met Yamato and Tusk. So I think it worked out wonders."
"Yeah, it did." Amu admits, she smiles happily. "We're going to go to bed. We'll see you tomorrow."
"Good night." Yamato and Sera tell them.
They turned off the lanterns and closed the door to the kids room. Yamato and Sera follow along down the hallway as the held hands as they went to their bedroom. Sera went to the balcony as she saw a shooting star.
"Making a wish."
"Not really. I got everything I could ever ask for." Sera tells him as she embraces her husband. Resting her head on his shoulder.
"Life sure has changed in the last ten years." Yamato states as she turns around to look at him.
"Yes, it has . . . and I wouldn't change it for the world. Not for anything" They stare at each other before they kiss.
Everyone lived happily ever after.
