A/N:
Lol, I vote Masahiro (again)!! In the last chapter I was so proud because I finally introduced the plot. Yes, basically the 2 and 3 quarters of chapters you all read were pretty 'leading up to the plot but not quite there'-tastic. XD Also. This IS NOT a love triangle between RyoXCocoXKaito. It's a CocoXRyo and a [CocoXKaito FRIENDSHIP!!! Don't get confused!
So, this is how it turned out with the voting:
Noel-4
Masahiro-2
Momo-0
Nagisa-0
Hippo-0
Nikora-0
Minke-0
Subaru-0
(Hahaha, nobody votes for the others XD)
Loves,

Dedication: Toblerone3. Enjoy this, sis and… you're probably going to lose your review race. I think we finally found someone who reads faster then you. Also, just to piss you off more I'm going to wait 20 minutes before I tell you I updated. : D
Disclaimer: Zilch is mine. Only the plot is mine, and Rin! You'll find out about her later.
A note about Rin: You may all think that Rin is just a mermaid version of me; she's not. She's just an OC that I made up. Don't get the wrong idea. She won't turn up that often in the story. I was just giving the mermaids some humility.

"Fool! How could you do this?"
"It was an accident?"
"How is putting a bucket of flour over the door way so the next person who opens the door get covered in flour at all an accident?" The kingdoms chef, who was white with flour, cried at her assistant and daughter. Rina, Lucia and Caren watched in awe and slight disturbance at the scene before them.
They had been on their way to fetch some ice for Hanons slightly swollen head when they had heard a clunk and then yelling and went to check it out since they were on their way to the kitchen any way.
"Gomen!" The daughter cried. She had long black hair with streaks of dark blue hot pink and a single braid of green at the front of her hair, she had a light complexion, similar to Noel's and a blue tail nearly the same color as Hanon's and looked about 14 years old.
"What if one of the princesses had come through that door? You would have disgraced our family and probably gotten out heads cut off!" The woman cried.
"Gomen! Gomen!" The daughter pleaded. The princess trio went to the kitchen and came in.
"Yes, that could have been Lucia!" Caren giggled.
"Hey! That's not funny!" Lucia cried, turning to Rina for some back up but she too was laughing.
"Princesses! I'm so sorry for the way I look! Please, what can we do to help you?" The chef asked.
"It's okay, we wouldn't chop off your heads, it's only some flour and it would come off easy." Lucia reassured them.
"Hanon just needs an ice pack, could you please show us where they are?" Rina asked.
"Of course, I'll go get one for you." The chef told them and swam off into a back room.
"That was some prank you pulled. What's your name anyway?" Caren asked the girl.
"Oh, I'm Kogane Rin. I suppose it was pretty immature, though. I just wanted to see if it would work!" Rin explained. The mermaids giggled.
"Is it true that you've all been in the human world?" Rin asked curiously. They nodded.
"It's so amazing! You should come up sometime!" Lucia absentmindedly told her.
"Wow! I can't though, mother says I'm not aloud." She told them sadly.
"If you'd like, we could take you?" Caren told her. Her eyes widened at their kindness.
"That would be wonderful! How could you be so kind when I'm just a commoner? I have nothing to give you in return." Rin told them.
"Isn't that what friends do?" Rina smiled.
"Friends?" She questioned giddily.
"I'm Nanami Lucia, pink pearl princess of the north pacific ocean. You can call me Lucia." Lucia introduced herself.
"I'm Omoi Caren, Purple pearl princess of the Antarctic Ocean, call me Caren." Caren winked.
"My name's Touin Rina, Green pearl princess of the north Atlantic ocean. Feel free to call me Rina." Rina told her, Rin smiled wildly.
"Okay! You can call me Rin by the way." She told them; soon the chef came back with the ice pack and handed it to Lucia.
"Please send Princess Hanon-san our best wishes." She told the three.
"Okay, see you later Rin!" Rina and Caren waved, Rin waved back.
"Bye Caren, bye Lucia, bye Rina!" She called out to them. The chef growled at her,
"How dare you call them by that! That's informal and you were talking to princesses!" Her mother scolded. Lucia swam back to the kitchen.
"How about we meet you tomorrow, Rin? You can come up to the infirmary and say hi to Hanon then we can go!" Lucia grinned.
"Okay, see you later!" Rin waved to the bubbly girl, as her mother sighed and waved also before continuing to clean off the flour from her self.
Lucia swam back to her friends, who were all in glee and crowding around something,
"Noel?"

Coco walked solemnly on a pathway near the beach after she had seen Seira off at the port. She could hear crying along the way in a house. Looking over she immediately recognized the home.
"Kaito…?" She wondered to herself. Slowly she walked up the pathway to the door and rang the doorbell. Coco could hear slow footsteps lead up to the door and opening the door stood Kaito, his eyes were red and his skin was pale, he was wearing his pajama's which would usually bother Coco since he had no shirt on but in this case she was more concerned for his well being.
"Oh, Coco. Hello." He greeted, his hair had been messed up and it looked as if he had been crying for more then she thought.
'He must be exhausted from all that crying…' She thought as he walked her in and gave her a seat in his living room.
"I'm sorry, I must look like a mess." He smiled, laughing a bit but only succeeding in coughing after words.
"Kaito, maybe you should get a drink of water, or juice." Coco suggested in worry for her friend.
"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I'm just a bit tired." He explained.
"Crying will do that, you're dehydrated, I insist you get some fluids." Coco told him, getting up and going into the kitchen with him in tow.
"Fluids I can do." He told her, taking out a wine bottle.
"No! How are you drinking? You're 14!" She cursed at him, taking the bottle away from him and giving him the juice.
"I'm just upset, it's not like I drink often. And I'm 15." He coughed.
"Here drink this." She told him, pouring some juice into a glass she found in his cupboard and handing it to him.
"How'd you know I was crying?" He asked her after gulping down the juice and placing it in the sink.
"It's your eyes, they're very red. That and I could hear it faintly from when I was walking." She told him, smiling a bit to try and raise his spirits.
"Well, if you can find out that much then you must already know why." He spoke. She nodded,
"I'd feel better if you said it out loud though." Coco asked of him.
"Lucia."
"That's what I figured. The worst part is that you don't even know when she's going to come back, or if she is going to come back, huh?" Coco asked.
"Yea, how'd you know?" He asked.
"Just a feeling. It's better if you talk about it anyway," She told him, taking the cup he had put into the sink out and filling it once again with juice and giving it to him.
"Again?" He asked.
"Yes, one glass doesn't help all that much." Coco pushed; he rolled his eyes and drank down the glass.
"Where do you keep your drinks?" She asked him, he pointed to the cupboard where he had taken the wine bottle out and she climbed up into the counter to be able to reach the alcoholic fluids.
"I thought you said I wasn't aloud any drinks?" He smirked.
"You aren't, I'm taking these away from you." She explained, placing bottle after bottle onto the counter beside her.
"Shit, Kaito, you don't drink that often?" She scoffed.
"I don't, if I did half of that would be gone." He explained.
"Where'd you get all this?" Coco questioned, wanting to make sure he wouldn't get anymore until he was of age.
"It was my parents. They let all of their drinks ferment up there because that's how they both liked it, and because it's the only dinks I could get my hands on I became accustomed to the taste too." Kaito told her, she bent down and jumped off the counter.
"Is that all of it?" She asked him.
"All you're going to know about." He smirked, his eyes back to its normal way and his smile it's usual brightness.
"Just wait until I tell Lucia her perfect prince is a bad boy." She laughed.
"She wouldn't hate me." He smiled.
"Lucia! Lucia! While you were gone Kaito got drunk and slept with three women at once!" She pretended.
"Now you just want her to dump me! I never did any of that!" He cried at her, slightly annoyed at her antics.
"Just tell me where the rest is then!" She shouted as he was chasing her out of the house. At the last moment she turned and went up stairs.
Crunch
Coco gasped, it was his room only; there was a smashed vase on the ground, torn pillows and tearstains on his bed.
"K-Kaito?" She questioned, turning around to the foggy eyed boy behind her who was now staring down at the floor in an emotion she couldn't read from his expression.
"I just got… upset." He told her.
"Maybe taking away your drinks wasn't a good idea after all…" She contemplated to herself.
"No, take them. There are no others. I was just messing with you a bit." He told her.
"Are you going to be okay? She's going to come back, you know." She smiled at him.
"Yea, I know, she's strong that way." He smiled up at her, and they walked back down stairs. As she was about to leave she turned on her heel and winked at him,
"Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on. Even the great surfer champion Kaito." She smiled.
"And the powerful mermaid princess Coco?" He smiled.
"Even her." Coco smiled and left out to a slightly darker and cloudier day. He closed the door and she continued to walk back to the pearl piari.
"Looks like rain…" She told herself half way home, looking up at the sky.
"Yea, it does."

"Noel?" Lucia asked herself, swimming over quickly and realizing her suspicions were correct.
"Noel! What are you doing here?" She asked her friend happily.
"I heard that you guys were under attack by a rogue sea monster… but I see you've all taken care of it!" She smiled at her.
"Well, actually, Hanon's hurt so she would love to see you around." Caren told her twin.
"Ah! She is, what happened?" Noel asked the group.
"She got hit in the head by one of the attacks, so the three of us were advised to stay incase she goes back into another short-term coma." Rina told her friend. Noel gasped,
"A coma?"
"Yes, it shouldn't be too serious, she'll be okay. We just need to stay for about a week now." Lucia smiled.
"Oh, okay. That's good to hear, why don't we visit then?" Noel beamed.
"Sure!" Lucia agreed and Rina and Caren followed.
Soon they reached the infirmary where Hanon had just been sleeping but soon she awoka and smiled at Noel's presence.
"Noel! You came!" Hanon smiled, waving her arms to her friend. A knock came at the door and Lucia answered it. They were bombarded with people from Hanon's kingdom, holding flowers and candy and jewelry.
"Oh! Princess Hanon-san! You must be in so much pain!" One mermaid shouted.
"The poor princess! Please take these gifts and get well soon!" Another shouted.
"The sorrow you must be in!"
"Oh, the agony!"
"Please get better!"
"Take our gifts! They will heal your broken heart!"
Rina was now getting a head ach, if this continued any longer there would be a spray of blood in the water. In her kingdom, she had forbidden such actions all at once. You were in a straight line, you were silent and if not silent talking very quietly, you would only speak with a normal tone when addressing her and saying what you wanted to say to her, then you would leave and she would bid you good-day.
This was driving her nuts.
"Princess Hanon needs her rest, we will ask you to put your gifts somewhere in the infirmary for her to open later. She will give her thanks when she is well again, now form a single file line and leave her to sleep." Rina commanded to the people, to which they all left the way she had asked and the presents were all left around her in the infirmary.
"R-Rina! How'd you do that? When ever I try they still persist." Hanon asked her.
"Easy, I told them that you needed your rest and they want you better again so they left." Rina waved.
"I was getting a head ach." She finished. They all laughed and Hanon rested her head; only meaning to rest but fell asleep.
