I love English class. It's where I write all my rough drafts. I can usually get two front-and-back pages written out in the period. Math Class is the same way. It's really easy this year. I love Geometry! XD Everything is so understandable, much more so than Algebra. *shudders as I remember last year's math class* Anywhos, although most of it is in Nami's POV, the story will also be part Kohana and part Akira. Happy reading, peoples.
Disclaimer: I'm in the middle of moving, so I don't have time to go on eBay and see if Pink Hanamori is selling the rights to her manga, so that would be a no.
(2½ moths after the last chapter of Passion)
"Okay," Lani said, lifting up two dresses. How bringing them to the North Pacific Sea didn't ruin them totally escaped me, but what they were for was important, or else she wouldn't have called me on my Holobud. "Which one do you like better?"
"I don't really think it matters," I said, not really paying attention. I was trying to clean up my room. "He's no gonna care. They're both pretty."
"Seriously," Lani said, settling the dresses on her pink bed. "Why don't you guys come with us?"
"Nah," I said. "This should be special for you and Ryuto. He's taking you to a fancy restaurant."
"It's not that special," Lani argued. "I'm sure he'd be fine with making it a double date. As long as he doesn't have to buy your food." I laughed.
"Fine," I said, shutting off my Holobud. I left my room, now spotless, and went to go look for Akira. He had started staying at the Arctic Sea Palace a couple moths ago after being evicted from his apartment on land. I know what you're thinking, 'They're living together?' but it's not like that. The palace houses hundreds of mermaids; it's more like a small city.
"Akira!" I called, rushing to catch up to him once I found him.
"What's up, Nami?" he asked, turning around.
"You want to go to a restaurant with Lani and Ryuto tonight?" I asked.
"Sure," he said, smiling.
"Okay, I'm gonna go tell Mom so she knows where we are tonight," I said, turning in the direction of my mom's room. I burst through the doors, not bothering to knock.
"Mom!" I called, "Me and Akira are going up to the surface tonight to meet up with Lani!" I left out Ryuto; my mom and my friends' moms still weren't comfortable with the idea of Lani dating a human, despite the fact that Hanon, Rina, and Karen had ended up marrying humans.
I noticed she wasn't there, and went to go look for her somewhere else, but then, I saw something shiny on her bed. I swam up to investigate, and swallowed in fear.
A small, indigo sphere rested on top of a note.
If you and your friends want to see your mothers
again, try to find me in North America. You
will need reinforcements, little princess.

'Gracilicaud,' I thought. I instantly pulled up my Holobud screen.
"Lani!" I called. She pulled up her screen an I saw her face. She looked worried. The date's gonna have to wait." I grimaced. "Go get your pearl. We've got trouble."
And that's the prologue. Like I said in Passion ch 17, I'm taking a break now. It may be a few months (or more, depending on how long it takes to move, how long it takes to get the plot a little more defined, how much time is taken up by this beast of a project I've been assigned, and how long it takes me to actually write the next chapter, but I look forward to your reviews!
