Coco squirmed uncomfortably.

"So..." Noel tried to change the subject. "Karen, want to show Rina that cool new thing you got?"

"What cool new thing?" Karen asked.

Noel looked Karen straight into the eyes, hoping she would get the message of what she wanted her to do.

Karen slowly started to catch on. "Ohhh...yeah, come on...Rina."

Rina glared suspiciously. "Maybe I'd better not...I, uh, have some chores to do."

"But it's this cool thing called a Plasma TV!"

Rina slung her arm around Karen's shoulder immediately. "Let's go take a look, shall we?"

"Oh, brother...that Rina and her obsession with Plasma TVs is going to get her in trouble one day." Hanon stated.

Noel looked at her. "What exactly are you implying?"

"Nothing, really..."

Suddenly, there was a loud scream, but it was quickly cut off. Hanon's eyes widened.

"Rina!" Luchia and Hanon both ran upstairs to Karen's, er, Coco's room in a panic and flung the doors open.

"Are you alright?"

Despite the scream, Rina stood there looking perfectly unharmed. "Oh, I just screamed because, eh, the Plasma TV shattered when I touched it..." Luchia stared, wondering how that was even possible, but followed Rina's gaze to the various shards on the ground. "I'm okay, really," Rina assured her.

"Absolutely?" Luchia said, concerned.

"Positively." Rina turned to Karen. "Just two more left!"

"Two more...what?" Luchia breathed.

Coco burst into the room. "Butterflies?" She suggested. She took one glance at Noel's perplexed face and cracked up.

"Stop fooling around." Noel ordered.

"Heh heh heh..." Coco chuckled.

"What's up?" Noel asked.

"Oh, my!" Coco looked out the window. "Is that Lady Bat I see running off with Hanon's boyfriend? Quick, we must save him! Though, Luchia, you should stay here. Let us handle this." Coco giggled and pushed Luchia into Kaito, standing right outside the door, along with a few other nosy people wondering why and who screamed.

"K-Kaito!" Luchia stuttered.

"Let's go!" Coco shouted and zoomed outside in an instant. When nobody was looking, she dived into a bush.

Hanon was in the lead - not including Coco - with Karen, Rina, and Noel trailing behind. As soon as she got outside, she noticed Coco was nowhere in sight. And neither was Lady Bat or Nagisa. All of a sudden, a nearby bush glowed orange. "W-what on...Earth...?"

Hanon crept up to it slowly and stuck her hand out a bit. Two huge wings exploded from the bush. "Kyaa!" Shrieked Hanon.

"GAAAHH!" yelled Lady Bat, as he lunged out of the leafy plant, reaching for Hanon as she fainted from surprise. The world was now dark and she felt incredibly dizzy.

"That was easy..." A voice said.

She also heard other echoing voices saying, "We'll save you! Don't worry, aqua mermaid princess, Hanon, we won't let Lady Bat get you...but Mimi will."

Cruel laughter surrounded her.
