That night, Jimmy stood in front of his window. Instead of stars, it was filled with blue. As he stared into the water, a strange ballet of fish and bubbles ran past, making Jimmy smile. Eventually, he went to bed, and slept almost immediately.

Jimmy found himself in the water, swimming with beautiful mermaids. In fact, he was a merman himself. The mermaids had beautiful blue tails, flowing golden hair, and were entirely naked.

As they swam through this wonderous blue world, a castle of sorts came into view. A castle so huge, an army of merman could swim through the gates side-by-side. Jimmy and the mermaids swam closer, and finally passed under the gates to end up in a huge courtyard, then into the castle proper.

Suddenly, the mermaids were gone as they each swam their own way. But Jimmy knew where he was, knew where he was headed, knew what awaited him.

His father sat on the throne made out of shells. He wore a navy uniform, of sea-men of old. Thoughts whispered in Jimmy's ears. 'Poseidon', 'Neptune', 'Yam', 'Mazu', 'Q', - that last name took Jimmy aback a bit, but his dad looked nothing like the famous tales of the Voyager and Enterprise.

"Dad." Jimmy said, awfully clear for the fact he was under water.

"My son. What do you need of me?" His father boomed.

"I.. I wanted to see you. I wanted to know who my father is."

"How do you know I am your father?" The question was dry, almost scientific.

"You are my father, aren't you?" Jimmy asked.

"I may be," The god conceded, "With this much ocean, it's hard to keep track of all your children." As if in answer, a school of dolphins swam past, clicking.

"How would I know?"

"How would I?"

Silence. Deep down inside Jimmy knew he was his father, even though he clearly couldn't remember his mother.

"Wake up, Silly," his father boomed, but his voice was somewhere different then before.

"Wha..?" Jimmy felt a warm feeling creeping up his back.

"WAKE UP!" With a start, and drenched in sweat, Jimmy lurched upwards, into, no, through Holly.

Jimmy immediately recognised the back-half of his un-invited roommate, and skittered off the bed. "Wha~ What were you doing here?!"

Holly sat, looking at the place where Jimmy 'entered' her. Thinking about it gave her a small shiver, though she couldn't really say why. "I woke you up, silly, you forgot to set your alarm clock." She said while she straightened herself, looking at Jimmy.

"Wha? What time?" He then noticed the clock. "WAH!" Without another word, he dissapeared into the shower.

".. You're welcome.."
