Had to do it. I just had to. Now I have 5 stories to update, and I don't plan on cancelling any of them. Lol
This is an AU. The Mermen are now genetically altered humans that had their DNA mixed with Fish DNA. They are in a rock band called The Mermen. Nami, Caylee, and Julia are huge fans of them. That's all so far.
Disclaimer:I do not own One Piece characters, or the songs used in this. It is sort of a songfic. But I do own Caylee and Julia.
A sunny day has been laid, no clouds was room, where her three daughters were going ga-ga over a rock band on the TV. seen in the sky. The blue birds were singing along with…a rock band?
"Will you three turn that racket down?!" A very tall woman with an extremely weird hair-style and color walked into the living Said woman had a pinkish kind of hair, the sides of it looked like she had shaved it off, leaving only enough hair in the middle to make a decent pony-tail. She was known as the ever-popular, Belle-mere.
"Sorry, Mom." The three daughters answered back, turning down the volume.
"Nami, how many times have I told you to put this junk away?" Belle-mere threw a bag of papers and pens towards her daughter with the orange-colored hair, Nami. She was the second oldest of four daughters.
"Mom, it's not junk. It's map. Because of this, you will one day be able to sail all the seas of the world."
"Yeah right." Belle-mere turned her attention away from Nami to one of her other daughters, Caylee. "Caylee, I need you to go to the store for me."
"Why me?" Caylee was the youngest one of the sisters. Instead of orange or pink hair, she had pure black with purple highlights in them. And they weren't clip-ons.
"Because you're the only one who can still drive."
"Are you still mad about me getting in that accident? THAT GUY WAS IN MY BLINDSPOT!" Her last daughter yelled in an uproar.
"Julia, That man couldn't have been in your blindspot because he was in front of you." Julia was the third oldest. She had decided to really stand out from her sisters, so she dyed her hair a blood red color with some white steaks running down on random sides.
There was one more. The first oldest, Nojiko. She was already married and out of the house though.
"Shut up, Caylee. Just because you still have your license…"
"Hey, I'm a safe driver. I know the rules of the streets, and I know how to seduce a policeman if he stops me for speeding."
"Shut up."
"You both shut up." Nami went into the middle of the fight and broke up her sisters.
"All three of you shut up. Keep the volume down. Nami, put those maps away, Caylee, go to the store and get me some sake and other items. Remember, your father is coming to visit in a few days. We need to show him that we're getting along fine without him."
Belle-mere was divorced from a man that she was and still is really in love with. His name was Chris and he was a scientist of some kind of college, he never told her the name of it. A few years ago, he had dumped her and his daughters for some kind of big experiment he was doing.
"Why should we worry? Why don't we fill the house with lab coats, those weird googles, some colorful tubes with chemicals in them, and put Rolio on a table with some belts keeping him down? Remember, Dad loves those tubes and chemicals more than his own family."
"Julia, he's still your father. By the way, Rolio has your hairbrush again."
"Rolio!" The little black chihuahua they owned came running into the room, his tail wagging and the hairbrush in his mouth covered in drool. Julia immediately started running after the little black rat, leaving Nami and Caylee laughing like crazy.
"Here Caylee." Belle-mere gave Caylee a list of needed things and some money. She left the room to go outside to get herself a smoke.
"Go later." Nami turned the volume on the TV back up, Julia running in just in time. Rolio was in her arms, still drooling on the hairbrush like crazy.

"Welcome back to MTV live, I'm here right now with one of the hottest bands you will ever see or hear. Their music has taken the world by surprise, leaving no prisoners behind. I'd like to present to you with their newest single 'In the End', The Mermen." The crowd clapped as the camera focused in on the dark stage, four shadows were barely able to be seen over the newly added fog. Two were seen up front, both holding onto guitars. There was one berhind a keyboard and one behind the drums.
The one who stood behind an electric piano started to play the beginning, the melody catching the attention of everybody listening. The one behind the drums started to play the beat as one of the guitars started to sing and rap. Both guitarists stringing down on their guitars, loving the way the crowd was yelling.
(It starts with)
One thing / I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on / but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go
The one previously singing switched the main singing part over to the other guitarist
I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
The crowd tried to climb their way onto the stage.
-----------------
At their home, Caylee was practically clawing at the TV, thinking she would be able to transports herself from the TV to the actual stage to see them live. Boy, wouldn't that be awesome.
-----------------
One thing / I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so (far)
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end
You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
The keyboard got louder as the person behind it put his mouth closer to the mic. His voice was as mezmerizing as the actualy keyboard playing.
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
Girls were practically taking off their shirts and bras, writing down their number on it and throwing them on stage. During this, security officers had to come and censor them off. This time, both guitarist sang at the same time.
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
The extreme drumming cut off, letting the one playing the keyboard to finish his ending solo. Once done, the lights dimmed slowly, the four peformers all lowered their heads for the dramatic effect.
--------------
"AWESOME!" The girls watching the TV squealed with excitement. "That was, by far, their best song ever!"
"It was almost as good as 'Helena'."
"No, this was better. And that guitarist with the wild black hair is so Fine!" Nami fanned herself, feeling incredibly hot from thinking of the guitarist that seemed to have stolen her heart.
"You can have him, I want the other guitarist. Do you see how big those lips are?! His kisses must be Juicy." Caydee licked her lips, the thought of kissing that guitarist made her yearn for the actual thing.
"Good thing you two don't like the keyboardist. Cause he's totally mine. His voice..wow, I'm at a lost for words."
-------------
The girl who had introduced 'The Mermen' onto the stage stood up from the crowd to join them on it. Her mic close to her mouth as she waved her other hand in the air.
"Awesome, give it up for The Mermen." The crowd got even louder, making the girl feel like her ears were about to burst. "Ok, so we've followed you around for the past months. Falling in love with every single song you've made, and not to mention falling in love with you in the crowd wants to know more about you. Like your names." Each mermen grabbed the mic that they sang into and joined the girl at the front of the stage.
"Name's Arlong." The mermen with the wild black hair spoke. He had a huge nose shaped like a saw, making it hard for him to sometimes sing. His bare chest could be seen threw the yellow hawaiian shirt that he left open. He also wore some green cargo shorts, showing off his calfs and some sandalds that hooked around his feet to keep them still.
"They call me Choo." The mermen with the big kissable lips smiled into the camera. He had the most blond and shinest hair ever. He wore a blue shirt that buttoned down the front, no sleeves. Instead of cargo shorts, he wore black cargo pants. And no sandles, he wore plain black sneakers, custom made.
"Kuroobi." The keyboardist plainly said, his long hair braided behind his back. He wore a one-piece japanese karate black suit, with black sandles.
"Hiya everybody, Name's Hachi." The last mermen said, him being the only with with six arms. So it's only natural that he would be the drummer. Hachi was the one who was most colorful. He wore a sleeveless yellow and red striped shirt, with red cargo shorts. And yellow shoes.
There were a few things for sure: the mermen were tall, and I do mean tall, as in that when people stand next to them, their heads barely go past their stomach; they wre buff, very surprising that the shirts havn't torn from the muscles; And they were all H-O-T!
And they also had some weird fish DNA running through them, but nobody dared to ask why. It could clearly be seen that Arlong resembled a shark; Choo resembled some kind of fish that has big lips; Kuroobi, a sting-ray; and Hachi was clearly an octopus, it's hard to miss all of those six arms.
"Finally, you heard it here. We all now know the actual names of this hot band. But why was it a secret?"
"No reason. Just nobody asked." Arlong shrugged his shoulders.
"Ok, so I heard that you're beginning your first ever Tour. Care to tell us which towns you'll be going to?"
"Our first city is going to be Coco Village in Florida(A.N. I had to pick a random state) in two weeks. That's all you're getting for now."
"Ok ok, we're running out of time. Now just one more question that is probably on every girls mind. Are you dating?" The crowd fell silent as to hear the answer. Each member of the group took a quick look at each other and smirked.
"Nope, No girls have been able to catch our eyes." Hachi answered for the group. Before the girl could ask another question, Kuroobi spoke up.
"And we don't plan on saying what we look for; because then the girls will start acting fake. And I don't like 'fakes'." The girls in the audienced lowered their heads, all possibly a little sad that they might not be any of The Mermen types.
"So girls…" They all turned their attention to the blonde mermen "Just hope that it's you." He winked at some of the girls in the front row on his left, making them almost faint.
"We're out of time. Thanks for joining us today. Tickets for The Mermen Tour go on sale tomorrow." The camera started to slowly back away, showing the entire room. Then it suddenly went black.
----------
"Coco Village, that's our town."
"That means that…The Mermen are coming here?!"
"And the tickets go on sale tomorrow."
"MOM!!!!!" They all cried out together.
"Thank you for coming. No pictures,no autographs,no stealing the clothes off the Mermen and trying to sell it on Ebay. Ok, go away now. Go away. DIDN'T YOU PEOPLE HEAR ME?! GO AWAY!" The bus door slammed in many paparazzi's faces. The bus took off as fast as it could go, making sure not to run over anybody; hey, they didn't want to get sued.
"And you say you're calm and relaxed. Total fib." The girl who had yelled at the annoying paparazzi turned to face Arlong.
"I didn't see you cutting in to help me."
"Too much trouble." He answered back to her.
"You know what you need Eva?" Eva Hayes, aka The Manager. Miss Hayes was about 5'5 tall. She had dirty blonde hair that went down past her shoulders, but you couldn't tell because she kept it up in a ponytail most of the time. She was a very calm woman, except when a tour came along. Then she became a drill sergeant to her band.
She wasn't they typical type of manager people seem to think of. She didin't wear a suit all the time nor carry a cellphone in her hand 24/7. Instead, she wore a white tank top and some regular-looking jeans with black/red sneakers. And the phone was in her pocket instead of her hands, that's the beauty of having the new Bluetooth technology.
"A band that doesn't run away when they have a personal meeting with some fans?"
"Say That as many times as you want, but that ain't gonna change. I was going to say that you need a vacation." Eva rolled her eyes.
"Vacation? You're trying to get rid of me, aren't you?"
"Guilty as charged." She rolled her eyes and shook her head. These guys usually drive her crazy every single day.
"You guys are lucky I actually care." Eva took a seat near the window to watch the scenary. "I mean, if it wasn't for you guys, we'd still be there."
"I thought we agreed to leave that memory alone."
"I'm just worried. All of you were a complete success for his experiment, how do we know he isn't hunting us down as we speak?" Hachi went up to Eva to comfort her. He took a seat on her right and pulled her close to him, wrapping all his arms around her.
"He won't find us." He assured her.
"In case you didn't remember,we're in a different city everyday of every month of every year. There's no way Chris can find us. Are you're suppose to be our mangaer? I probably know more than you."
"Way to bring me more down, Kuroobi. Sarcastic jerk." Eva leaned in more towards Hachi. "Back to business. We arrive in Coco Village in about 12 hours, so I suggest that you guys get some sleep. Don't ask why we're getting there early cause you won't get an answer from me." She got up from her seat and headed towards the back where her bed was. "AND DON'T SNEAK OFF THE BUS!"
"Or what?"
"I have eyes everywhere, Choo." She left them with these words.
"Ok, I'm getting off at the next stop."
"Count me in."
"Same here."
"I don't know guys. Let's listen to her."
"Hachi, be a rebel. Come on." Arlong urged Hachi on. "You know you want to."
"Oh boy. We're gonna get in trouble."
Ok yeah, the first chapter was mostly a lot of information, but the action and humor should start in the next chapter.
New story, new things. Hopefully, ya'll like. Read and review please???
