They were supposed to sing to the merrows now? It seemed a bit strange - standing by a porthole and singing aimlessly. How were the merpeople even going to hear them through the window?
Her question was immediately answered as she spotted a merrow approach her friend Analiese. So they could hear through the windows. Avalon wasn't complaining...she liked to sing, and she felt like she didn't get to do it often enough. The young Ravenclaw had a pretty voice, too, thanks to the school choir she was forced to participate in back in the second grade. Nothing professional by any means, but it was at least on key and pleasant to listen to. The only question now was what song to sing.
As Avalon finished up her necklace, which was sparkling with metallic and aqua blue beads, she considered a few different melodies to sing. The first song that came into her mind was Frère Jacques, which her mother used to sing to her. But it seemed odd to sing a song about sleeping when she wanted to merrows to come to her. So, she decided on a fun, albeit silly song that she remembered from kindergarten. Approaching the porthole, she took a deep breath and began to sing.
Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say
She paused for a brief moment, trying to think of a quick rhyme involving the merpeople for the next line. Have you ever seen a merrow
Emerging from its burrow?
Down by the bay
She couldn't help but laugh at herself. The lyrics sounded absolutely ridiculous! But hopefully her voice was enough to draw the merrows near.
