The version of The Little Mermaid I'm using is the ordinal story by Hans Christian Andersen and not Disney.

Chapter one: Ideas For a Fund Raiser!

I have always thought of leading a life like a fairy tale because there would always be a guaranteed happy ending. Like Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty but I knew real life would never be like sugar coated fairy tales. My favorite one was The Little Mermaid. In the story the Mermaid falls in love with a human man. She exchanges her voice for a pair of human legs and if he marries another woman she would turn into sea foam. And thus he does falls in love and marries another woman and the only way she can become a mermaid again is to kill him with an enchanted knife. The young mermaid couldn't do it and threw the knife in the ocean and she became sea foam. It's a sad story but my mom would always emphasize the morale of the story, you must make scarifies for the ones you love.

My name is Minako Hikari a 3rd year at Seigaku. I love to play outside but I would never be able to. You see, I have an illness and I often get dizzy spells. Which would keep me away from school and my friends, but what difference did it make people who only talked to me out of pity. I have always hated the hospital but today I was going back to school, what joy that is.

-------------------

The day was hot and sunny with chatter filling the air as the students of Seigaku rushed to school. A girl with blondish brown hair and green eyes was walking down the side walk with her hand safely on her school bag and the little charms that hung made a small clicking sound. While her red baseball cap was shading her pale face from the sun. This was her first day in her 3rd year and the cherry blossoms were blooming a bright pink color. As the girl stopped and looked at them with compassion in her eyes. 'I love spring time with all the flowers blooming and all the birds chirping.' The clacking of her shoes was heard as she made her way to the school.

Hikari was heading toward the door as these two guys stuck their foot and tripped her.

"We're sorry. We didn't mean to trip you" One of the guys said, but they were chuckling and they walked away. She was on the floor and her bag had opened up and all of her books came out. There were many Shakespeare books and a big book of fairy tales and poems but even worse her glasses came off in the process and she was blind. 'Oh no, this is going to take forever. I'm going to be late' she thought as she was scurrying to get her stuff together. A brown haired guy with rounded glasses was walking around the corner and he saw a girl in the dirt randomly slapping her hands on the ground. He didn't want to be late so he walked on by.

-SNAP-

The stoic looking guy looked at his feet and Hikari also looked up to find that this guy had stepped on her glasses.

"I-I'm sorry." Was all he could muster (could also be mutter or mumble). 'Have I seen her somewhere before?' He thought. 'Sorry!!! That's all he could say after stepping on my glasses. And he walked away!!! How could he do that to a person whose glasses he stepped on? He could have at least offered to help me up! Great now I have to wear my contacts! I hate things that go in peoples eyes!' Hikari mumbled to her breath.

-Ding-ding-ding-

The bell had just rung and Hikari figured that there was no point to getting to class now. So she leisurely walked inside the building. The moment she got their, she slid open the back door trying to sneak in. 'Where am I suppose to sit! Let's see… an open seat? Where is an open seat?'

"Can I help you?" Came the stern words of the teacher.

"Um, yes. I was late to school because there was a dog on the road and I had to save it and now I don't know were my seat is, you see." Hikari replied.

"And what is you name?"

"My name is Minako Hikari."

"So you're her. You will sit next to Tezuka-kun. Tezuka-kun please raise your hand." A hand came up and she walked over and sat down. (Note- Tezuka doesn't remember her because of the contacts she has on.)

"Now we will all be writing an essay of an experience you have had. You have one hour." Shimizu –sensei said. The tapping and gliding of the pencils fill the silent room.

About an hour later the ring of the timer had been set off and the pencils and pens were being put down.

"Please hand you papers forward."

-------------------

The final bell had rung and the students were flooding out of the building as fast as they could. Hikari on the other hand was completely lost walking around in the same circle. 'I past this tree, already. Why do I keep going in a circle?' She decided to go and ask the directions to the art room. The first person she saw was Tezuka. 'I know him! Yes!' she thought. He was near the tennis courts and she walked up to him.

"Excuse me Tezuka-san if you're not busy or don't mind can you please tell me the directions to the art room?" She asked in a very soft toned voice. Heads had turned and her head was now facing down.

"You can go through the gym and up those stairs and it's the forth door on the right."

"Um…ok. Do you mind answering one more thing?" she asked. He just nodded.

"Where could I find the gym?" Before Tezuka could answer this boy with closed eyes and a wide smile came up to us.

"Saa, Tezuka why don't you just walk her there. It would be easier."

"That would be great but if you're busy its okay! I can manage to get there on my own." She bowed and started walking to the left the opposite direction of the gym.

"Wait." A voice interrupted her to stop. Hikari looked back to see Tezuka walking toward her.

"I'll walk you there." He started walking in the right directions. Half way Hikari just stopped.

"Tezuka- san do you mind if we rest awhile?" He looked at her as if she was crazy. All they did was walk across school but he stood there and waited for her.

"Tezuka-san do I know you from somewhere?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"Never mind, thanks for waiting." She started walking behind Tezuka again. Hikari being her tripped over nothing and went toppling into the art room door. Her sketch book fell to the ground, however she didn't notice.

"Thank you for walking me" She bowed

"No problem." Hikari walked into the room.

Tezuka looked down, found the sketch book and decided he would give it to her tomorrow.

-------------------

Back at the tennis courts

"Tezuka, I'm surprised at you for listening to me for walking her." Fuji had said. Tezuka just stared at him.

"Everybody gather around. I have an announcement to make." Ryuuzaki-sensei announced.

"I have signed us up to help raise funds for the school. Any suggestions?"

"We can set up a Café!" someone shouted.

"But…Nobody knows how to cook. Unless you count Taka-san, but does sushi count?" someone else replied.

"A Car Wash" A guy with a racket yelled.

"...Yeah, how about no!" one of the closer players yelled.

"A Kissing booth" There was silence.

"What about a play!" Eiji shouted.

"There's a good idea! Let's put on a play. Any ideas on the play?" Ryuuzaki-sensei said. The silence swept the courts,

"But, there has to be a girl part in a play at least one! Right?"

"Well, we'll have to ask another club to help us out. Is there any one who knows anything about the theater?" There was more silence.

"This is going to be hard." The teacher murmured.

At the art club

The brush strokes came across the canvas. It smeared with all different colors and shapes. Her hand moving as fast as ones hand could go. Black, blue, gray, and green paint was staining the pure white paper.

"I'm so glad you're back! Are you sure you're feeling better?"

"I'm feeling fine. I feel bad for leaving the club for a year. I hope the burden of taking care of it wasn't that heavy." Hikari replied with a smile.

"Oh no! Not at all, but it is a lot of work I don't know how you use to do it. But as vice president of the art club it is my duty."

"Chiyoko, thanks for looking out for me. What time is it?"

"It's five. Oh we should be cleaning up."

"Cleaning what? They all cleaned up an half an hour ago. Did you swallow some paint or something!?" Laughter broke the silence. 'Chiyoko is my one and only friend. We had been friends since grade school. We had started the art club together and, even though there are only 12 members not including us, we do a lot.' She thought in a narrative

"Hey, Hikari we got an e-mail saying are we interested in helping the boy's tennis club for their play to help raise money?"

"Hmm, I guess so. We aren't doing anything for the fund raiser and now we do. Plus I do know a lot about plays and about the theater!" she flipped my hair while smiling.

"Are you sure? Its going to be a lot of work, can you handle it?"

"Of course I can. Trust me!"

"Oh, ok. I'm replying yes now" she typed into the small screen of the brand new laptop and pressed the send button.

-------------------

"This is going to be interesting the art club and tennis club working together. I wonder how this is going to turn out, ne?" Fuji said snidely

"Nya, you are so evil Fuji! Are you sure Sensei told you to send that e-mail?"

"Of course she did." responding with a contemplating grin.

"This is going to be so fun! I can't wait!"
