"New Family"
11 years had pass, the once 5 years old mermaid is now a happy and jumpy 16 years old mermaid. Although she is happy and all, deep inside she still missed the young boy she met in the forest. Sometime she gets sad remembering that she was not able to meet him last time, and more depressed knowing that they might not be able to meet again.
Even his friend dolphin can't take it anymore; Puu would felt her pain when he saw his bubbly friend depressed. He also blamed himself for what happened to Mikan, because he was not there when she need it.
But his worries washed away, when a toddler merman arrive in the family. The toddler was the king's nephew, so he took him in with open arms. The princess was still depressed until the toddler merman arrives. The said toddler is now 5 years old and his tail's blue like sapphire.
During dinner, every one of the kings' family are already around the table. They enjoyed there talk and ate all the food there is. "Mikan, I would like to speak with you after dinner. If possible alone" came the kings' words. The Princess stared at her father for a while before she nodded her head and replied back.
Soon, Mikan finished her food and excused herself. The young merman saw her leave and followed her behind. The auburn haired mermaid is now at her room, sitting at one of the windows while staring at the funny ring she received from the human boy.
She noticed someone entered, but didn't say anything knowing who it was.
The 5 year old merman tried to surprise her, but seemed to fail on his mission as the princess was already tickling his little tummy.
"What is your plan young boy?" mikan inquired while holding both of his wrists. The 5 year old only laughed at her and tried to break free. Unable to get some response, Mikan continued tickling his tummy with her right hand.
"keiji gives up, no more, no more tickles" the young merman laughed. Mikan let go of his wrists and smiled at the boy in front of her. Trying to breathe from all the laughing he made.
Keiji looked up at his big sister and smiled back at her. "Keiji wants to play." the young merman announced. The princess smiled at him "Sure, but later. Father wants to talk to me for a bit."
"NO! NO! NO! keiji wants to play" the boy demanded. Mikan only smiled, hugged him and whispered these words. "Of course I'll play with you kei, but my papa wants to talk to me. When we are done talking, I'll play with you as much as you want. I promise"
The boy pouted at first but they vanished from his lips when he heard those words, and they made a pinky swear.
Mikan left her room and went to his fathers' study. She stared at the door for a while, thinking what does her father wants from her. She braced herself and knocked 3 times. The words "come in", is what she heard from the other side. She placed her hand on the door knob and opened it.
"Mikan, I was waiting for you" her father said while placing the pendant back inside the box he was holding and handed it out to mikan. Mikan took the box and stared at her father with a questioning look. "Open it" Her father told her while smiling. Mikan still stared at her dad and slowly she opened the box.
"This isβ¦" were the only words that came out of her mouth.
"That is the pendant that will give you your human form" her father stood up from his chair, he took the pendant from the box and placed it around mikans' neck. The surprised mermaid could not believe what her father had said and replied back. "But I thought you had..."
"That was what I had planned, but you followed the rules after that. So you still have the right to go to human world and explore." Her father cut her off. The princess didn't know what to feel, she should be happy that she was given a chance and confused for the reason that she did not obey the rules. Nevertheless, she held it with her fingertips and hugged her father smiling and tears gather on her eyes. Her Father hugged her back and wiped her tears, and informed her on how to use to pendant.
After their long talk, the princess was so extremely happy she got another chance and hugged her father again. "Thanks for everything papa". "It's my pleasure my princess" her father hugged her back.
Mikan went out of her fathers' study room with the pendant around her neck. She smiled and swam as fast as she can to tell her friends about the good news; she saw puu and hugged him.
"I've got good news"
"What? But before that please let go?"
"Look at this" the princess answered while pointing at the pendant she now wore. Puu didn't recognize it at first, but then he smiled and congratulated mikan with a hug. She swam around the castle informing everyone about the good news. Tired from swimming around, she went back to her room and found keiji playing with the toy train that he got from his brother before he left. He went towards keiji and went to his eye level. Keiji noticed her and smile, "you're late, so I played on my own."
"Sorry about that keiji, father talked to me about something very important" the princess apologized while beaming her smile at the young boy. Mikan took the boys' little hand still smiling. "Look at this Kei" Mikan showed keiji the pendant she now wore from her hands.
"What's that?" the little merman asked curiously while touching the pendant on the princess' neck. "It's a pendant, father allowed me to go to the human world." The princess cheered. Keiji stared at the pendant and smile at Mikan. "That mean you can meet mama?" the boy asked hopefully. The beauty only smiled and patted his head "Yup, do you want to give your mama something?"
"uhn" the boy cheered with a nod and started to look for the item that he found when he arrived at the castle. Mikan only stared happily at the little merman who swims back to his room. Thinking that maybe she might meet her mother soon.
Morning arrived and news had already spread around the castle. Foods on top of the table, music being played around the hall, mermaids, mermen's and small fishes and crabs are swimming around preparing all the things needed before their princess will depart to the human world the next day.
The said princess is still on her clam shaped bed, sleeping. Next to her is her 5 years old cousin snoring softly while clutching to their friend dolphin, which seemed to be having a bad dream. After her cousin and friend heard her news, they decided to stay up late and played a bit. Well, except for the snoring 5 years old merman.
The door was opened with a loud bang which caused the sleeping mermaid and dolphin woke up. Came inside the room was none other than the crab attendant, greeting the sleeping the sleeping creatures on the bed with his loud voice. The princess rubs the sleepiness from her eyes and stretched back while greeting the crab attendant. The dolphin left the room heading to his house after he greeted with a smile. The 5 year old merman soon woke up and greeted the others then he went straight outside to play, leaving Mikan and her crab attendant.
Noon came, and the party was held. Mikan was in the middle of the crowed being congratulated and hugged. Wishes of farewell and do your best were being repeated on her ears. Happy she thanked them and hugged them back.
Soon the time has come for mikan to go, looking back she saw her 5 year old cousin smiling at her with small tears gathering in his while holding her father's hand. She smiled back, waved her hand farewell and there she went. Swimming towards the sky, her father already told her that she will meet someone when she reached the surface. So she has to arrive at the designated place that he informed her of. Mikan was still holding her pendant and the package that her cousin asked to give to his real parents.
She looked straight ahead while dreaming about the possible things that might happen. She might meet her mother again, the human lad that she never forgets, meet new people and how will it feel when she walk in her own two feet. She smiled
"She sure is slow, am I in the right place mom told me? This might not be the place, 3 hours had already passed and still not here" mumbled a 17 year old boy. He paced back and forth, waiting and trying to call his mom. When he suddenly heard some water splash near the area, he went closer to the source. There he saw a bright glowing light and came in view a 16 year old girl with auburn hair and eyes, hair so long that they covered the private parts of her body. They stared at each other for a while and looked each other from head to toe.
"You're Mikan?" cutting their long silence. The girl stared back and nod with a yes. The teen took some clothes from his bag and gave it to her. The beauty stared at it and asked. "Those are clothes, isn't it obvious" he said dumbly. The girl still stared at it for a while and checked what she was holding. The boy stared back and asked "don't tell me you have not worn cloths there?" The auburn girl only tilled her head and said "We only have accessories to wear."
The boy was surprised but decided to tell her how to wear the dress and succeeded. The boy offered his hand to the girl and helped her up, but failed. The Princess was like a newborn calf trying to make her first step with her two hands supporting the ground. The boy can't help but laugh at her hysterically. The girl glared at him which silenced his laughter and helped her walk. After hours of teaching and holding her up from falling unto the ground, she can now stand and walk on her own but still trips over nothing and falls on her butt or face.
Grumbling tummies came from the girl. The said girl was surprised what was that and the boy only shook his head stating that she is already hungry, and so they decided to go home with the girl tripping all around on their way home.
A middle age woman was pacing back and forth waiting for their guest to arrive that seems to be late. 3 hours had passed her son and the expected guest still did not arrive. Worried, she was about to head to pick them up instead when minutes later, the door opened slowly "I'm back" is what she heard from the entrance door.
"Seiichi, you're finally back. Where's Mikan?" her mother asked worriedly. Seiichi was about to reply back when the said girl followed behind him, greeting his mother with a smile. The mother stared at her for a while amaze from the resemblance that she saw and ran towards her. Welcoming her with open arms,
"Nice to meet you Mikan, my name's Mizuki. You're fathers' younger sister. " the mother cried. Dumb folded; mikan only hugged her back and was shock that she was crying in her arms, "You, you really look at lot like her. You're the spitting image of her." The girl was confused on what she was talking about and looked up at the boy in front of her.
The boy cleared his throat, to stop his mother from crying and to calm down. The mother wiped her tears and welcomed her niece again. The boy asked the whereabouts of his father, but the mother only said "He will be home shortly."
Minutes later, the said man arrived. He caught his wife on her knees hugging a 16 years old girl and his son standing at the side, "What happened here?" only these words came out of his mouth. His wife stood up and introduced the girl to his husband.
The man only looked at the girl carefully and smiled, which caused the beauty to smile back.
"Since all of us are here, How about we have dinner for now?" Their eldest asked.
"Ohh, yes. I've been preparing food while waiting for you. We can eat now, they are still hot." And so they had their dinner while having their conversation about their guest. After dinner, they went to the living room to talk about her new name, her school that she will be enrolled and talked a lot of things.
The auburn girl almost fell from her sitting position from sleepiness when she remembered the package that she had. Mikan stood up, making the others looked at her surprised and she went and took the package from the place where she left when they arrive.
"That, I've been wondering what that is when you arrive here." The boy stated. Mikan stood up infront of them and handed that package over to them.
"That is, Keiji asked me to give it to you."
"Keiji? How's keiji?" the mid age woman asked.
"He's doing fine and misses you a lot"
The family smiled from what they heard and the mother opened the package. The inside was full of letters for them. Each letter is address to each of their names, and the last thing inside the box was a pearl that their son found when he and mikan went into an adventure. The mother almost cried from the letters she received and thanked the girl for giving it to her.
It was already pass 8, when their new member of their family yawned. The mother smiled and asked her son to show their cousin to keiji's room. Seiichi went upstairs followed by her cousin and led her to his younger brother's room. The room was small but it was big enough for her, there are lots of stuff toys around the corner with picture books and story books in the bookshelf. The girl looked around and sat down on the bed, "is it really okay if I stay here?" his cousin asked curiously. "Of course, keiji would be happy to, you know." He smiled which earned him another smile from the girl.
"You can go ahead and sleep, tomorrow you have to wake up early for school"
"Okay, good night Seiichi"
Seiichi went out of the room and went back to his room to get some sleep. Mikan was still looking around when she heard a knock from the door. She opened it and found her aunt with a change of clothes and a set of uniform and a bag for tomorrow. Mikan took it in her arms and bid goodnight to her aunt, the aunt replied back and went back downstairs to clean up the table. Mikan stared at the things she received and placed her uniform in the hanger and the bag in the chair.
Mikan took the spare clothes, changed into them and folded the dress she wore. She went back to the bed and lied down, she stared at the ceiling and soon she fell asleep.
