Welcome to Chapter 2 of The Lovely Little Mermaid. This chapter is where Megumi first meets Seiji and falls in love with him during a summer festival.

I only own the story of this fanfiction. However, I don't own the Pretty Cure franchise and I probably never will. It currently belongs to TV Asahi / Asahi Broadcasting Corporation and Toei Animation Co, Ltd.

It took some time for Megumi to get used to using her new legs but after a few tries, she managed to get the hang of it. "I only have until midnight and then i'll turn back into a mermaid. What should I do first as a human?" wondered Megumi as she stared out at the open sea when she saw a brown haired boy riding a surfboard through a big wave alongside a red haired man who was riding another surfboard.

"Those must two of the humans out there, but I never expected for one of them to be so very... handsome." Megumi said as her cheeks started turning bright red. When the boy rode the wave back to the shore, he saw Megumi staring at him weirdly. "Oh, Hi there." the boy said.

Megumi's cheeks started turning bright red and she felt as if there were butterflies flying around in her stomach. She had never been this close to a human, especially to a human boy and she was worried about acting right in front of him, especially since he was shirtless.

"H-H-Hello. My name is Megumi Aino." Megumi introduced herself, but she still nervous and her cheeks started turning even redder when the boy got closer. "Nice to meet you, Megumi. My name is Seiji Sagara." said the boy as he introduced himself to Megumi. "What was that you were doing on the water with that?" Megumi asked, pointing at the surfboard Seiji is holding.

"You mean this? It's a surfboard. You use it to surf on the water whenever there's a wave, either big or small." Seiji explained as Megumi examined the surfboard.

"Say, I haven't seen you around Pikarigaoka before, just where exactly are you from?" Seiji asked which caused Megumi to come up with a lie quickly about where she came from instead of telling him directly that she is the mermaid princess of Oceana. "Me and my parents came from a town that is across the seas, but during a recent thunderstorm that happened on our way to your town, our boat crashed into a bunch of rocks then fell apart and my parents both drowned, but only I managed to survive through the entire storm and then I washed up here on the beach." Megumi said.

"Sorry to hear that, maybe you can accompany me to the summer festival tonight." Seiji said.

Megumi, who was clearly clueless about the idea of a summer festival, asked. "What's is a "summer festival"?"

"A summer festival is an event held during the summertime where people dress up in Yutaka and participate in various activities at the festival, such as goldfish scooping and shooting ranges while eating food such as candied apples and cotton candy." Seiji said as he explained the concept of a summer festival to Megumi as they walked back to the beach house to get ready for the summer festival.

"Do you live by yourself in this place?" Megumi asked as she and Seiji entered the beach house and he motioned her to sit down on the couch.

"No, I actually live here with my legal guardian, Hariham Harry. Usually, while I'm at school, he runs and is the owner of a beauty salon called Beauty Harry." Seiji explained as he went to find a yutaka for Megumi to wear.

Back in Oceana, Homare was sitting on a rock listening only to her own thoughts about Megumi spending her birthday as a humqn until she was broght back to reality by the calls of her friends Hana Nono and Saaya Yakushiji.

"Homare, Hana suggested earlier that we should join Hikaru as well as her friends and go into town to buy a special gift for Princess Megumi at her birthday party tomorrow." Saaya said as she sat next to

Meanwhile, upon her arrival back in Oceana, Yuuko swam straight to Perfect Tomorrow Agency. Ever since she was discovered while performing at Megumi's 13th birthday by the agency's founders, pretty boy Charaleet

"Sorry about that, Omori-san. We didn't know that you were in such a hurry." said one of the young mermaids as the other two helped Yuuko get up.
