Chrimmi

Summary: After Chris was in episode 20 and the relationship between him and Mimmi begins to blossom, I ship it. So, this is what I imagine might happen when he gets back. Takes place after episode 20 and continuing after the last episode of season 2.

She kissed him. She kissed and now he was going to the States for three months. Great idea, Mimmi, she thought to herself as she contemplated whether or not to tell Ondina and Sirena. She felt heartbroken knowing that he'd be gone and an ocean away in just a few days. She wanted to talk to someone about it but at the same time she didn't want anyone to know.

She ended up telling Sirena but Ondina didn't need to know yet, after all, Chris was going to be away for three months so there wouldn't be much to talk about concerning him anyway.

Mimmi hoped the three months would go by quickly.

With all the drama surrounding Erik's betrayal, the trident stone, Zac almost dying, the trident stone being destroyed, the pod coming back, and both Carly and David now knowing the secret, those months went by in the blink of an eye. With so much to worry about and work on top of that, Mimmi didn't have much time to miss Chris.

It was a normal day for Mimmi at work. Kids were trying to snag free toys for themselves off her cart and she'd have to stop them before they got a chance to until the toy was paid for. Several kids had already thrown fits when they didn't get the toy they wanted or more than the one they did get and it wasn't even lunch.

'I really need a break,' Mimmi thought to herself as another child walked up to her cart. Thankfully, she had her money ready and knew exactly what she wanted. Mimmi sighed knowing it was still a few more minutes until her break.

Mimmi turned around to take care of a few things on her cart before she went on her break, paying attention only to the items on her cart and the kids who were eying it.

"Dr. Ross!"

"Chris, back from the States?"

"Yes, sir. I was wondering though, where's Mimmi?"

"Probably where you two were set up before you left for your training. If you want to see her you might want to hurry, it's almost her lunch break."

"Thank-you, sir," Chris said, running off to one of the last places he had seen Mimmi three long but great months ago. Every day working with the dolphins in San Diego, he couldn't help but think of her and what she'd taught him that landed him that opportunity. He couldn't wait to see her again.

He barely noticed the path he took or where he was going as he sped through the park to the spot he'd always set him popcorn stand up at.

Mimmi was still facing her cart when Chris arrived in the area. Despite her back being turned to him, he knew that stance and her silky, curly, chocolate brown ponytail.

He snuck up behind her and lightly poked the sensitive areas of her side just above her hips. She let out a little yelp of surprise and turned around to see who the culprit was. When she saw him standing there with a bright smile on his face, one also appeared on her face. "Chris!" she exclaimed, throwing her arms around him.

He wrapped his arms around her, picked her up, and spun her around. When he set her back down, they just started at each other for a few seconds, their eyes getting lost in the other's before leaning in and sharing their second kiss. "Hey," he spoke when they separated.

"You're back," she said, not quite sure of what else to say.

"Yeah, it feels good to be back home," he fell silent. "So, I, um, hear it's almost your lunch break.

"Yeah, I should get going on it now."

"Well I was thinking, wondering, if you'd like to join me for lunch. We can grab something to eat from somewhere in the park and just talk for a little while."

"I'd like that."

"Alright. Than I guess we should take your cart and put it away."

Mimmi lead the cart and despite knowing that she could easily take care of it herself, Chris helped Mimmi steer the cart back over to where it would go while she was on break.

Back by the employee lockers, Mimmi slipped her hat off and threw it into her locker along with the few other items that were already in there to show that she was off duty. Chris smiled at her as she closed her locker. He reached down to take her hand in his. "What do you like?" he asked as they started walking.

"Seafood," Mimmi answered immediately.
"Okay, I know exactly where we can go. Do you buy lunch often?"

"No. I normally just bring something."

"Then I'll be sure to treat you when we get there."

After a couple minutes of walking, the couple reached a small seafood restaurant within the park. Despite the small size, there weren't many people inside so Chris and Mimmi were soon seated.

"Order anything you want," Chris spoke, looking up from his menu and over to Mimmi. He smiled brightly at her as their eyes met. She smiled back at him and continued to look over the menu to find her absolute favorite, trying to to decide what that would actually be.

"Is it alright if I order the lobster?" Mimmi asked.

"Yeah, go ahead and have it, I'm treating you to whatever you want. I'm thinking I'm going to have the lobster too. What do you want to drink?"

"Are you going to be out waiter now?" Mimmi joked.

"I guess I am sounding like one, aren't I?"

"Yes, yes you are," Mimmi laughed.

"I'll stop," Chris managed to say through his laughter as their actual waiter came up to the table.

"Can I start you off with something to drink?" he asked.

"I'll just have a water," Mimmi spoke as their waiter looked over to her.

"And I'll have a coke," Chris said when their waiter turned to him.

"Alright, I'll be back with your drinks in just a minute." Their waiter turned back towards the kitchen. When he returned, he gave them their drinks and took their orders for lobster before again heading back to the kitchen.

"So do you have a favorite movie?" Chris asked a few minutes later, trying to strike up a conversation.

"I haven't really seen all that many movies," Mimmi started. "I think I've seen one, maybe two. I'm not really sure what to judge movies based on."

"What do you mean by that, that you haven't seen many movies?"

"It's just that where I'm from we didn't have the accessibility to watch movies so I haven't seen many."

"Then I guess I'll have to take you to one."

"I'd like that," Mimmi smiled. "I want to learn as much as I can about your culture and how it's different from mine where I grew up."

"You sound like you're the type of person who has to know everything."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"No, definitely not. In fact, I find the thirst for knowledge really attractive."

Mimmi smiled. "I do like to learn and experiment with things that others might warn against."

"Don't go getting yourself into trouble now. But speaking of the thirst for knowledge, when you were teaching me about dolphins and how to really get to know them and understand them, weren't you in the water with me? Because when I opened my eyes you were on shore and completely dry. If you were in the water with me, that shouldn't be possible."

"Um," Mimmi started. How could she explain this to Chris? She hardly knew him and couldn't just tell him that she was a mermaid. The only land-people who knew were Carly, Cam, and David. Two of them were long time best friends of a mermaid and a merman and the other was dating a mermaid and had been for a while, telling Chris this soon was not an option. "I just know this trick to drying off really fast so I just used it when I got out of the water."

"Maybe you could show me the trick sometime?" Chris asked.

"Yeah, maybe," Mimmi agreed, even though she was fairly certain it would be a while before Christ found out, if ever.

The conversation following turned away from their first few days of knowing each other as Chris described everything he could about the training program in the States. He described everything with great detail, what they did each day, what he learned, how he explored San Diego. He described the city itself and how everything had been this great adventure and learning experience for him. "But it would have been better if you were there too," he finished around the time they were finishing their lobster.

"That's sweet," Mimmi said.

"I mean it. I think you could have taught the trainers there a thing or two about how to get to know a dolphin and how to interact with them and understand them."

"I don't know that much."

"You're just being modest and it's really cute." Mimmi felt her face flush as Chris looked down at his watch to check the time, "We should probably be leaving soon. You have to get back to your post selling those toys."

"Yay me."

Chris laughed. He picked the check up with one hand and went over to Mimmi and helped her stand with the other. He held onto her hand until he needed it to pay. As soon as he had finished paying, he took Mimmi's hand back in his; he didn't let go until they had made it back to the employee lockers.

"I better get back to work," Mimmi spoke, opening her locker and taking her hat back out.

"Let me help you take your cart back. I know you can do it on your own but if I help you with it I get to spend a few more minutes with you."

A grin spread across Mimmi's face. "I guess you can come."
"Awesome," Chris said, following Mimmi back to her cart.

Together the reunited couple headed back to the spot Mimmi had previously been set up at.

"Are you going to be working with the dolphins here now?" Mimmi asked as they got her cart parked.

"I hope so. Dr. Ross is going to work with me on that. We talk a bit about it before I got back."

"Cool."

"Yeah, dolphins are just so amazing. Thank-you so much for teaching me everything you did. I don't know how I can ever repay you but I am truly thankful for it."

"You're welcome," Mimmi smiled. A small child came running over to the cart. After helping the child and his mum who had arrived right after he had pick out a toy, Mimmi turned to Chris.

"I better get going now. I'll see you later." He bent over and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Bye," Mimmi said. Chris turned and started away but turned back around and waved goodbye to Mimmi. She laughed at his antics and focused her attention on her next customer.

It was now official that Chris and Mimmi were together. Mimmi knew she would have to tell Ondina eventually and that it's have to be soon. But until then, she was going to enjoy the beautiful day and the thought of her amazing boyfriend.

A/N: I hope you enjoyed. I have many more like this and will continue with this for as long as I have ideas. Speaking of which, feel free to send me ideas in reviews or in a PM and I'll see what I can do with it. Just try to include a little and what couple or group you'd like it to be about. Thanks for reading, feel free to leave a review even if you don't have an idea and tell me what you liked and didn't like.
