Hey, so, obviously, I failed on my wish of a Christmas special, so sorry. ~Audience boos~ I know! I know! I SUCK! Enjoy this new chapter. I had to stay out buying gifts. I got pet ferrets and two ear piercings in one ear! Enjoy!

Normal POV

The girls trudged down the stairs, with sad faces. "Aw, come on! It's not that bad!" Souko called walking out the door, the girls following. While Souko got into the car, they all stared. "What? Get in the car." she said, irritated. "Car?" Yaya asked. Souko looked at them like they were aliens. "Just open the door and get in." she said.

Utau walked up first at the passenger seat and saw a thing that stuck out. She looked at it, and grabbed it. She yanked it and the door opened. She saw a seat and sat. "Well, close the door." Souko said. Utau showed realization and closed the door.

The rest of the girls did the same and squished in the back seat, not meant for four people. While driving, Souko turned on the radio. "And I'm like, baby, baby, baby, oh! Like, baby, baby, baby, oh!" He sang. "Omg, what is this? Her singing is so bad!" Utau shouted. "That's a guy." Souko said with a smirk. They all looked at her with accusing looks. "It's true!" she defended.

Once they changed the song and got to the mall, Souko explained what underwear and pants were. "How do you not know what underwear and pants are?! Where are you from?!" she shouted.

"Mizu no Tochi." they all said. Souko went stiff and looked at all of them. "You guys are mermaids?!" she shouted. "How'd you know?!" Amu shouted. "I knew this guy who was from there and he told me about the mermaids. He was Ikuto's father. How are you going to stay up here? Wouldn't someone notice? What about the boys? Do they kn-" "Calm down Tsukiyomi-san. One question at a time." Lulu said. Souko breathed and asked again.

"Do the boys know?" she asked. We shook our heads. "Wait, who's Ikuto's dad?" Utau asked. "Um...a man I met. He had blue hair and blue eyes. Ikuto is his spitting image." she said sadly. "His name! What was his name?!" Utau asked desperately. "A-Aruto Hoshina." she said, a little frightened by Utau. "That's my dad's name! If his son is Ikuto, then I'm Ikuto's sister! I'm not an only child!" She called. They all looked at her. "How bout we go in." she said with a nervous smile.

Rima's POV

We walked in and the first store we went into was a lingerie store. On after one Souko measured us and gave us our 'underwear'. Once we were all measured we went to a shirt store. Turns out I like stripes. Amu got rebellious shirts, Utau got very nice shirts, Yaya got childish shirts, and Lulu got boring shirts (in my opinion). At the next store, we got 'jeans' and Souko said I looked good in 'Boyfriend jeans'. What's that even mean?

"Ok girls, swim suits next." Souko declared. Why would I need a-oh yeah, we can't be mermaids up here. We nodded. We walked into Yuuko's Swim Suits.

"Hey girls, how may I help you today?" she asked politely. "Just some swim suits for them. They've never had good ones before, only for their swim team." Souko said, lieing smoothly.

The girl nodded and instructed us to the changing rooms. She looked at all of us carefully. Utau had her hands crossed over her chest, looking bored. Amu had her left arm behind her holding her right arm while blushing at the stares being given to her. I stood with my right hand on my hip and my left hand free, I wanted to get this stupid shopping done with. She looked on to Yaya, who was bouncing around like a child and giggling.

Then, she stopped and slapped her self, and a second later she was on the ground complaining about her face. I wanted to say so bad, "Yaya! Get it together! I complain about your face all the time!" but that would be mean, wouldn't it? Lulu was looking around the store, ignoring the unwanted stares. "Ok, I think I have the perfect suits for all of them!" she shrieked and ran out. She came back with 5 suits and handed each to us, and shoving us into the changing rooms.

I looked at my suit and immediately threw it on the ground. "No, I refuse to wear such a swim suit." I said looking away. "Rima, you'd better have on the suit when we come out or your gonna get it!" Amu yelled from inside her room. Damn it Amu, I hate you. It was a two-piece suit that was red and had white polka-dots on it (pic on profile). I put my hair into a high ponytail and looked at myself. Not bad. "Ok, is everyone ready?" Utau asked. We all responded yes. We walked out at the same time.

Amu's suit was simple. It was strapless and blue. It twisted in the middle (pic on profile). Utau's was strapless too and had a golden clip on each side of the underwear(pic on profile). Lulu's was a little showy for her. She kept trying to hide but I saw it was a two-piece that hung around the neck. It was blue in one strip, and then white, then blue again (pic on profile). Yaya's surprised me the most. I was a two-piecethat connected at the bottom of the suit and at the top. It was pink and it had two bows at each side of the underwear. We all looked good.

"Ok, I'm ready to go home now." Utau complained, "I need food!" Amu yelled, "I'm tired!" Yaya cried, "Can we go now?" even Lulu asked. I topped it off with a "Yeah, we've been here 8 hours!". "Ok, Ok, fine. Let's go pay." Souko said, defeated. After getting in the 'car' we headed home. When we finally got there, the guys were in the living room screaming about who killed who.

"Who killed who now?!" Amu shrieked. They started to explain that in was some game called Call of Duty. After 'Call of Duty', I trudged up the stairs and got in to my bed. It was warm already, but I was too tired to care.

~In the morning~

"Good morning Rima-chan. Did you have a nice night with Mr. Fujisaki here?" someone asked. My stupid brain still didn't wake up. "Yeah, he was warm." I said. I heard laughing and a shush. I then got up and proceeded to scream, "WHAT!"

R&R, I'm so sorry about the christmas stuff if you were looking forward to it! Please forgive and forget!
