The Misty Mermaid underwater ballet sequel - Misty's, like, tragic love life totally inspires the plot for Violet's next underwater ballet screenplay.

"How many times do I have to tell you I don't want to meet this guy?!"

Lily pursed her lips, glaring at her little sister, who glared back at her with just as much ferocity. "You are impossible," she seethed. Misty rolled her eyes.

"Oh, so having standards is being impossible?"

"Like, it is when they're unreasonable!"

Misty crossed her arms. "My standards are not unreasonable," she scoffed. "I only have one must-have as far as men go."

Daisy poked her head out from her bedroom, raising an unimpressed eyebrow. "Misty, it doesn't count as one must-have if the one must-have is 'be Ash Ketchum'."

A small blush dusted Misty's cheeks, but she stood her ground. "So what? If a man comes around that's of equal or greater value, then we'll talk. But until then, no thanks."

Violet, finally looking up from the romance novel she was reading, rolled her eyes. "Wow, so romantic," she said sarcastically.

"Misty," Daisy sighed. "It was cute when you were eleven, and Ash was just, like, this scruffy little small town pokemon trainer. But he's the Champion now. You are, like, basically telling people they need to be a Pokemon Master or better."

Misty opened her mouth to retort that it wasn't about his title, he also happened to be sweet and kind and brave, not to mention cute, when a sudden, high-pitched gasp from Violet cut her off.

"Oh my gosh!" she squealed, her book tossed to the side. "This is like, the perfect plot for our next water show!"

The sisters starred at her quizzically, Lily even letting out a small, humorous '...what?" in response, but Violet was on a roll, springing to her feet and clutching her hands together.

"The story starts with a cute but scrawny, young, preteen mermaid, swimming along with her water pokemon friends after a totally melodramatic and overblown fight with her three beautiful older sisters-"

"Subtle."

"-when she stumbles upon a young boy. She saves him, they become friends, and she falls like, head over heels in love with him. But, even after like, twelve years, she doesn't tell him how she feels, so she just pines away for him from afar, even though it is like, totally in her power to do something about it."

"Again, subtle."

"Well! It turns out, the boy was actually a prince all along, and he eventually takes the title of King for the whole region! So now, the people who called the mermaid silly for wasting her time with a nobody realize their mistake, and like, totally get why the mermaid liked the boy so much." Violet beamed.

Misty smiled in amusement. Okay, it was definitely a weird way of looking at things, but her sisters were nothing in not a little strange on their best days. She opened her mouth to thank her sister for at least attempting to try to understand how she felt, when Violet interrupted her.

"Of course," she continued, "because the king is too obsessed with his kingdom and his pokemon to notice her feelings, and her standards are too impossibly high for anyone else to match them, the play ends with the little mermaid growing old, sad and alone, with only her pokemon to keep her company."

Daisy and Lily snorted as Misty's face and ears grew red with anger. "Very funny!" she huffed, stomping out of the room as her sisters giggled.

"You can like, always change the ending!" Violet called after her, but Misty was already down to hall, texting wildly on her phone, encouraging her friends to NOT come to the Sensational Sister Water Ballet this year.
