The closet doors swung open, revealing Coco hanging upside-down in a very strange position. Her left leg was attached to the rack by her toes, which were wrapped around the bar. Her other leg was just hanging there, and Coco's upper body had smacked into the ground with all kinds of different tops, bottoms, shoes, and dresses.

"C-Coco? What on Earth were you doing?" Luchia gasped.

"Sleeping..." Coco sighed. "Or at least trying to."

"In there?" Luchia raised an eyebrow.

"It's the only place I could find!" She shot back.

"What about the BED?"

"She's hogging it, and I wouldn't be able to get a wink of sleep on that thing anyway! How do you humans manage?" Coco scowled.

"Coco...you ARE a human." Luchia started. "Right now anyway."

"Well..." Coco thought fast. "I am also a mermaid! And I don't sleep on land! I like to be hanging...er, floating..."

"So why WERE you listening to that song anyway?" Luchia tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and waited for an answer.

"Because it helps me sleep! And I need my rest so I'll have enough energy to capture the...butterflies...you know?"

Noel shot Coco a dirty look. Coco smirked.

"Okay, well, now that you're up, come join us for lunch, since it's already afternoon..."

"Okay." Coco and Noel followed Luchia downstairs to the hotel dining room and met up with Karen, who was flirting shamelessly with all the male customers.

"Wow..." Rina leaned against a wall, watching. Hanon rolled her eyes and sauntered over to Coco with a bowl of fruit.

"Want some?" She offered.

"I'm not a Fruit Bat, ya know!" Coco's face smoldered with rage. "Get it right, sheesh!"

Everyone stared.

"Mind your own business, idiots! Or I'll drink all your fluids!"

The customers quickly turned away.

"That's more like it. Now just bring me a-"

"Coco..." Noel began. "Shut up."

"What!" Said Coco, surprised.

"I said shut up. Stop acting like an idiot."

"Coco, what's gotten into you?" Luchia questioned curiously.

"A bat." Coco laughed to herself, as if she had some sort of inside joke.

Noel turned to her other friends. "Sorry, everyone, she's become obsessed with vampires."

Luchia gaped. "Coco, I didn't know you liked that sort of thing."

Rina glared. "Hmm..."

"She just got into it recently." Noel added quickly.

Nikoru stormed over. "Alright, whatever's going on, stop. You're scaring away customers, which means less money!"

"Yes, ma'am..."

When she walked away, Rina asked, "Say, Coco...you don't happen to like Lady-"

"Gaga!" Some baby gurgled from a stroller.

Rina stared at the infant. "...Bat?"

"What?" Coco said, distracted.

"I asked if you liked Lady Bat."

"Well, I don't hate him..." Coco muttered.

Rina glanced at Luchia and shrugged.

"Is that a yes?" Luchia asked.

"I wouldn't know. It would be weird to love yourself." Coco swayed from one foot to the other.

"Coco, I asked if you liked Lady Bat." Rina said. "As in you. As in Coco."

"Ohhh! So you are wondering if if Coco love-I mean, do I love...wait, what?" Coco stammered, confused. Noel sighed.

"Forget it...it's not important, really. Never mind." Rina decided to let the subject matter drop.
