This is a short fanfic about Undertow the tiger shark and his new mate Razorfin the mako, whom he meets a year after Morgana was defeated and sealed away by King Triton. This story was inspired by fellow AL fan Fidgitfan who suggested the idea of Undertow meeting a shark girl and having a mate. This fanfic is for you, give it a read and tell me what you think. ;)

A slender blue shadow streaked out of the murky blue water leaving a trail of silvery bubbles in it's wake, followed by a larger bulkier one that matched it's power and speed. The two shapes twirled and chased each other; smaller fishes scattering in an instant as they shoot past. The larger shape swoops through a shaft of sun light hanging in the crystal sea like a golden curtain revealing the big fish's identity for but a brief moment. Undertow swished his massive tail back and forth in great sweeps as he persuded the smaller shark through the beams of golden light. Hot white light simmered and danced across his broad black back as he cruised through the water after her. The smaller shark stopped on a dime and whirled around to face him, Undertow medially put on the breaks to keep from slamming into her. She just smiled at his startled look and playfully circled around him before settling in front of his eyes again. After regaining some of his lost poise Undertow looked at her with a warm grin on his face. By the sea she was beautiful, she was so very beautiful. Her hot glittering eyes, skin as blue as the deep sea, the way her little dorsal fin and pectoral fins were tipped with sliver and the graceful way she swam, as if she were part of the ocean itself. Even her name was magnificent. Razorfin. His beautiful Razorfin. Slowly he swam close to her and slid his snout lovingly under her jaw, gently nuzzling her. Razorfin nuzzled her mate back by rubbing his lower jaw with her head and back. Undertow sighed to himself as he closed his eyes and began to remember the first day he had met his love. After the battle between Morgana and King Triton, Morgana had been sealed away for all time as punishment for threatening Triton's family. With her gone Undertow had only his ''flatso'' friends Cloak and Dagger to keep him company. The trio spent many months together out on the open sea having fun, getting into trouble as well as terrorizing the occasional merperson that just happened to come along. But soon he found himself saying good-bye to them as well, Cloak and Dagger soon joined a school of fellow manta ray who were headed for warm southern seas and their feeding grounds. The big tiger shark soon found himself completely alone. Didn't bother him at first though he could handle himself. He was a shark for Ocean's sake! As time wore on and as much as he tried to hide it, ignore it, say he didn't feel it Undertow found himself becoming very very lonely. Of course he missed having Cloak and Dagger around, heck he even missed arguing with Morgana or carrying out what ever evil scheme she cooked up. Just then a sudden flutter of movement shocked him out of his thoughts, shaking his head to regain his senses Undertow looked around for what ever that was that just flew by. He looked to his left and then right before looking straight up and that's when he laid eyes on her. She was a little silvery finned mako shark who was busily chasing mackerel, zipping around like a blue bolt of lightning snapping up her unwary prey as she went. Undertow hovered in the water watching her every movement, never had he seen anything so gorgeous. The way she moved it was like poetry. Undertow was smitten. With a quick flick of his tail he rushed up to meet her, only to anger her by scaring her food away. Undertow did everything he knew of to woo the young female, showing off his great strength and hunting prowess not to mention flirting with her every chance he got. But the little female was thoroughly unimpressed and put off by his advances and just ignored him.

One day though that was soon to change. As Undertow cotinued to court the mako female in his attempt to win her favor, she suddenly became entangled in a fishing net and was being pulled out of the water. Undertow then raced to the surface after her and lifted his head above the waves. He saw the little female struggling and thrashing in the net as she was being pulled aboard a small boat by two fishermen and to his horror, one of them had a club in his hand and was getting ready to strike her with it. Overcome with terrible rage Undertow lunged forward and rammed the boat as hard as he could causing the fisherman to drop his weapon. Looking around frantically for what just hit them when Undertow came round for another pass and smashed their boat again before surfacing right before them. One the terrified fishermen grabbed a huge wicked looking harpoon and waved it at him hoping to scare him off, but o'l Undertow was armed with bone crushing jaws and razor edged pearly whites that didn't know the meaning of the word ''fear''. He just chomped that harpoon as if it were nothing but match sticks. In a last ditch effort to save themselves the fishermen threw the little female shark overboard, hoping that the attacking tiger shark would eat her instead of them. Seeing that she was out of danger, Undertow lead her off to a safer place away from the coastline. The little female mako who reveled her name to be Razorfin, was so moved by his selfless act of saving her life that in the end she would be honored to be his mate and the happy pair spent the rest of that day together.

Looking back on it that was perhaps the craziest thing he had ever done, but it was worth it. Undertow looked down at his beloved who was snoozing, snuggled up against him and smiled a very happy smile. For the first time in a long while........ he was.

The End.
