~~~Time Skip~~~<br/>The next morning, Francis woke up as usual. Or he would have if there hadn't been a hand around his waist. At first, he freaked out, but then he remembered everything that had happened. "That's right, she's just like me..." he thought aloud as he quietly slipped out of her grasp and walked outside. grabbing an empty tube of wrapping paper, he used his illusion magic to change it into a fishing pole, then went over to a small row boat and got ready to go fishing for some breakfast. When he reached the middle of the lake, a merman... or whatever these fish people called themselves, came up and handed him his empty role of Duct Tape.<br/><br/>"Thanks! I was afraid I would have to replace that!" he said as he took the item from the man-fish.<br/><br/>"Don't mention it! Without you, our underwater Mer-people society would be dead by now if the hunters found us." The Merman<br/><br/>"So you really are mer-folk! I had been meaning to ask about that. Well I've got to get some fish for a guest at my cabin, but it was nice chatting with you Mr..."<br/><br/>"Just Gillbert is fine. here, I'll help you out with the fish." he said, holding up a seaweed net full of catfish. "Least I can do for you keeping the hunters away all the time." And just like that, he disappeared into the depths of the lake, but not before saying "I wonder what that feline looks like as a human..."<br/><br/>"Hey! How did you know that she-" Francis started, but Gillbert was already gone. Mumbling under his breath, Francis went back to the cabin and began to cook and clean the fish. Setting out two plates, he sat down and waited for Mai to wake up from the smell of fresh catfish that permeated the air throughout the cabin.
