Called it.

Maddie was actually pretty surprised at the fact that her assumptions turned out to be true. Actually, she was pretty freaked out about it, too, because...umm, hello---MERPEOPLE.

Speaking of which, one of them rose from the depths of the water, and judging by the crown on top of her head, Maddie guessed she was the head honcho down there. And as she mentioned before, she was PERFECTLY fine with just handing the treasure back to the merpeople and then going on her merry way.

No sense in sending the army.

But wait---was the merqueen on their side? Maddie wasn't sure what to make of what the queen was saying. And umm...attackers? What attackers? Were the merpeople on THEIR side or not? She took the moment to just step in line behind the headmistress, because no way was she volunteering to fight on the front line. She was perfectly fine standing right behind Hawthorne.

So, umm...who else thinks now would be a good time to board the train a bit early and just head on home?
