Ramone wanted to hide behind Luna (who was at least a lot more taller and athletic than him, being a Fishysauz) and away from the terrifying abomination that had possessed Queen Annabell. She had even closed her kind blue eye, leaving only the purple demon eye swiveling around madly in her socket.

In addition, Chloe's voice, once perky and percocious had transformed into a theatrical husky tone he had never heard before. It made her sound like the cigar stained voice of a famous diva at thirty five rather than a young girl by the age of twelve.

Ramone knew she had otherworldly powers from that demon eye, but he never learned her true nature. Was there really another creature named Rosemary dwelling inside the young queen he cared fo

Peering out behind Luna, Ramone stammered. "What in sand hill are you, Rosemary? Why does that name sound so familiar?"

Chloe snarled. "I was once a singer in your town several years ago. I was the child of the Blackswan family. That plague creature had made me terribly ill since child birth before taking my life altogether and then...I became Fienmond's most trusted henchwoman. The demon eye he shoved inside this child was me! And I was destined to rule the Mainland while controlling her!"

"But why would you agree to such a thing?!" Ramone stammered. "Why would you hurt Queen Annabell?!"

"Because Fiemond promised he would find the soul of my sister if I helped him in his loathsome scheme. Little did I know that trecherous salty dog aimed to kill me when I failed!"

Chloe turned her head towards the ground, but her demon eye still remained fixed on Ramone. It made him tremble to his core. "Now...now that he has cut me loose and I will never know what happened to Lyra's soul, I seek only revenge...on him!"

She began to march towards Ramone and Luna. "Oh fish sticks!" Luna gasped "Do you really want to have us sauteed?!"

"Depends!" Rosemary scoffed. "Do you plan to stand in my way? On my pathway to revenge?!"

Luna shook her head, but something prevented Ramone's head from shaking his. "Do you plan on using Miss Annabell to achieve your revenge?!"

"By any means necessary!" Rosemary exclaimed her eye wild like a serpent ready to strike. "She is the only chance I have at revenge and I will stop at nothing, even if it means destroying her little body."

Ramone was silent, but he stepped out from behind Luna. Rosemary eyed him suspiciously with her purple eye. "Then I can't let you..." Ramone said and he slowly paced over to Chloe's body.

"What are you gonna do," Rosemary taunted. "I can decimate you in a second. You'll be nothing but taxidermy up on my wall if you cross me!"

"Well then..." Ramone said, forgetting about his plans to desert Chloe. "You'll have to destroy me."

With a loud theatric cry, the goat man gasped. "Oh Annabell!" and threw his arms around her body.

"What th..." Rosemary said as she was enveloped in a tight squeeze. "Not this love crap again...I...ugh..."

Ramone held Chloe's body as close as he could. Even if she was more of a playful tomcat of a girl, and he was a reserved and sophisticated animal, he still could not forget the blouses he handstitched for her and the laughs they shared. She'd always tell him about the drama going on at the palace and the pranks she played on the minister. But she very rarely pranked him. All she did, was call him Rammy.

"Nooo...ugh...this is so sappy!" Rosemary exclaimed. "I can read those thoughts of yours and they're just as sentimental as you are..."

Slowly, her purple eye closed and Chloe's human eye opened. She looked up at Ramone who was sobbing like a barnyard animal left out in the rain. "I will never leave you...Queen Annabell!" the satyr said to his queen.

"And this..." Chloe rasped with a grin while tears streamed down her face. "Is why you'll always be my first mate!"

After a few minutes of crying together, Luna walked up and gave them a hug too. "I forget why we're being so huggy, but people and fish people need no excuse to hug!"

She placed her wet flippers on Ramone's clothes, soaking right through his tuxedo, but he didn't care. He was just happy to be reunited with his queen.

"Ay dio mios!" a familiar accented voice exclaimed. "What happened in here!"

The trio looked up from their hug to see Monica, Vinnie the Eel and Abacab all standing at the far end of the room with a dark blue Fishysauz in tow.

Suddenly, Luna released Ramone and Chloe and happily ran towards the four. "Ey.." Vinnie exclaimed. "Fish beauty! Are you coming to give me a hug too?!"

He reached out but Luna ran past him causing him to miss and flop on the floor. Instead, she hugged the dark blue fishman. "Big brother! You're safe!"

"Luna! I'm happy you're safe too!" Gillian said. "I now remember there's something wrong with the king and Jawesome. I don't know what but I came in here to find out!"

"I'm just happy you're safe!" Luna said. "Even with my guppies memory I wouldn't forget you!"

"Likewise, little sis."

"Aww come on!" Vinnie pouted. "Even her brother gets more luv then me!"

Monica smirked. "Maybe someday, cabron."

There was a loud gulp that rocked Jawesome from the inside. The whole fishy body shake violently.

"What's going?" Ramone demanded.

Luna smiled. "I think now that we got rid of the sicky icky virus. Jawesome is cleaning his gut!"

"Wait a minute!" Chloe exclaimed. "We're still in here!"

"Argh!" Captain Abacab exclaimed. "Then hold onto yer pirate hats!!!"

The whole crew was suddenly bowled over and washed away by fish vomit. They could only hope it would take them outside.
