This story takes place about five years after mmppppure, the mermaids were given leave from Aqua-Regina and their duties, so now our three main mermaid princesses are living a normal adult life with the boys that they love. On that note I'm sorry to say I do not own Mermaid Melody, Wish I did because there would be more seasons!

The Marriages of Land and Sea

Ch. 1 Surprises

One day in July, a young man with dark red hair styled in a spiky sort of way walked out of a jewelry store in a sea side town in Japan. He looks down at the box he has in his hand and thinks of the one girl in his life that is still like a dream. Kaito Domoto sighs and puts the ring box in his pocket and sets out to find his princess.

Kaito's PoV:

Oh man my nerves are shot, what if she… NO I won't think of that, she will… oh my, there she is. "Hi Lucia, I was just coming to ask if you wanted to go out tonight?"

"Hi Kaito! Yeah I'd love to. What do I need to wear?"

"Nothing special, I thought we could go swimming. You know, like we did on our first date after Gaito." Please say yes.

Flash back: the night after the final battle with Gaito

"Hey Lucia, so I guess you guys are going home right? I mean now that my twin is gone you guys can now go back to your kingdoms and continue living. But…" I stop and just thought to myself, 'Please don't go Lucia!'

"Actually we're not going back just as of yet, our kingdoms need to rebuild some before we can return, so I'm staying for some time." She looks up at me.

"Great cause I was wondering if you would like to go for a swim with me tonight in the reef?" I asked hoping she would say yes.

"YEAH! Kaito I would love that." She yelled as she hugged me tight. And we have been together ever since, well except when Michel showed up, but that was forgiven.

End flashback:

"Sure, oh and I need to get going, I have a surprise for Hippo, involving Yuri." She told me as she jumped up and down excitedly. "I finally found her and well, hopefully…"

"You need help Lucia, maybe Gaito can help us." I said as I took her by the hand. "Besides, he owes us one."

"Cool what time are we meeting?" she asked me coming closer to me for a good bye kiss.

"How about four o'clock? I'll swing by and pick you up." I said as I leaned down over her to kiss her.

"Fine with me. Is it okay if the girls come too? I'm sure they will want to see this." She asked looking up at me.

"Always, they're like my sisters too, now if we don't kiss, we are going to bring some strange stares our way." I said as I inched closer to her.

"By all means," she said as she closed the space between our lips. Lord help me, I don't know how much more I can take of this, I love her so much, I just hope she likes the gift I have for her.

As we broke apart, I looked down at her with so much love that she started to blush. "I'll see you at four."

"Okay four o'clock. See you then." She said as she was turning away to leave.

I grabbed her hand and when she turned around I said, "I love you Lucia, now and forever."

"I love you too Kaito, now and forever and a day."

Hippo's PoV:

Yuri I miss you badly. And I will always love you, but I met someone, and her spirit reminds me of you. Her name is Madison Jordan. Funny thing is she's also a guardian; she popped up when Seira was born. I think you would like her; she has these beautiful brown eyes and nearly black hair. Yuri I believe she could be the one. But I miss you still. I wish I could see you again…

"HIPPO! WAIT UP!" Lucia called as she ran up to me, "I have a surprise for you. Meet me at Pearl Piari at four o'clock okay?"

"Lucia what are you up to? You are the princess of the North Pacific. You need to… there she is! Madison!" I yelled when I saw her walking on the other side of the street. She looks so beautiful in her jeans and orange sailor style top. "Madison what are you up to?" I asked as I ran over with Lucia close behind.

"Hippo, hi, nothing much just going to check on Seira at school. Oh hi Lucia, how are you today princess?" Madison asked. As she looked at me and winked. We haven't really gone on a date because well I'm still not totally over Yuri but I'm getting close. If only I could say good bye to Yuri then I would be just fine.

"I'm fine Madison, how are you? And what is wrong with Seira that you need to go check on her?" Lucia said as she thinks to herself; I know Hippo likes her but I think he still loves Yuri, what will happen if she comes back into Hippo's life?

"Nothing is wrong, just checking up on her, she now has a boyfriend and I worry, just like Hippo did and still does with you."

"Yeah Hippo worried alright, he nearly chased Kaito away. But now that the ocean is safe again, I can live my life the way I want. By the way Hippo, I need you to meet me at Pearl Piari at four o'clock, its important. Okay?" Lucia asked me with a strange look on her face.

"Okay only if it's not just you and me, make sure Hannon and Rina are there too." I said talking about the other two mermaid princesses, Hannon princess of the South Atlantic and carrier of the aquamarine pearl, and Rina, princess of the North Atlantic and carrier of the green pearl.

"Don't worry they will be going too, as will Kaito. In fact all seven of us mermaid princesses are going to go, and it's a surprise for you. Madison can I talk to you alone for a few minutes? I'll even walk with you to the school." Lucia said.

"Umm sure, see you later Hippo." Madison said to me as she and Lucia walked off toward the school.

Normal PoV:

"So Lucia what did you want to talk to me about?" Madison asked, "I think it is about Hippo and me right?"

"Well… yeah… sort of, I mean you know about Yuri right?" At Madison's nod she continued. "Well I found her, and with the help of all of the seven mermaid princesses and Gaito helping Kaito, I think we can bring Yuri and her sisters back to live normal lives. And I like you I really do and I don't want you to be hurt if Hippo wants to continue his life with Yuri."

"Lucia, I think that's great that you found her and her sisters; as for me being hurt, if Hippo is happy with her and she treats him right, I will survive. But now if she hurts him in any way I will make her wish you never found her." By the end of her speech, she was red and huffing and puffing.

"Chill Maddie, I know that but I'm worried about you." Lucia said as they walked up to the school.

"Thanks. Do you mind if I join you guys at four, I would like to meet this Yuri and her sisters?"

"Sure, you know where and when, see you then"

Pearl Piari Normal PoV:

"Okay Lucia, where are we going?" Hippo asked as he changed into his penguin form.

"Just wait and see. It's not that far." Lucia said after they jumped into the water. "Just going to see an old friend."

"Who?" Hippo asked as he started to swim before he saw Madison in her dolphin form. Oh my, she is beautiful. Even if she is a deep orange shade.

"Well… Yuri,"
