Me: Hello and welcome to Chapter 20!
*Silence*.
Me: It seems that everyone is getting prepared to listen to my announcement I will make after this chapter ends.
Anyway, Thank you all for your continuous support by liking this story and reviewing it. I feel really glad.
Also I don't own Mermaid Melody. Just the OCs.
And now let Chapter 20 begin.
Chapter 20: School Fun (Some) and Beach Fun.
The next day at school, Nagisa and Hotoshi heard rumors that a new transferred student is coming to their class.
"So who do you think the new transfer student is?" Hotoshi asked.
"Beats me." Nagisa said, "But they said that she is very pretty."
"I see."
Hotoshi then took out his art and look at it.
"You still have that drawing?" Nagisa asked.
"Yeah. It's a masterpiece." Hotoshi smiled.
"Wow!"
When Nagisa looked at the art which is the Mermaid Princess of South Pacific Ocean, he immediately recognized her face.
"Hmm... I'm pretty sure I met her at the beach with her two friends when they offered me to hit the watermelon blindfolded." Nagisa thought.
"Anything wrong, pal?" Hotoshi asked.
"Uh no Hotoshi." Nagisa said, "I was just hallucinating."
Both boys laughed very loudly. Little did they know that Seira, who is actually the new student, is peeping at them. She was able to see Hotoshi's art clearly and when she did, she jumped in joy.
"OMG! OMG! It is true! Hotoshi is really the son of a South Pacific Mermaid!" Seira thought and jumped happily but then she remembered one thing...
Flashback:
"Well Seira. This will be your class." Luchia smiled as she pointed at the first years class.
They arrived 1 hour early before the school started so that they can show her the class she will go to as well as their class.
"Hooray! I can get to be with Nagisa and Hotoshi!" Seira said happily.
"That's right." Hanon smiled, "The son of the former mermaid princess from South Atlantic Ocean, Yukito."
"And the son of the South Pacific Mermaid." Rina smiled.
"Excited?" Kaito asked.
"Of course I am! I also really hope to find some orange haired boys there." Seira said happily.
"I'm sure you will." Luchia smiled, "Oh! And one more thing."
"What could that be?" Seira asked.
"Okay. So you can talk anything and do anything you want with Hotoshi-kun and Nagisa-kun."
"But NEVER EVER ask Hotoshi about whether he is the son of the South Pacific Mermaid or say anything related to it." Hanon said sternly.
"Yep and besides you do know what will happen if Hotoshi finds out about it, right?" Kaito asked.
Seira nodded.
"That's all you need to know." Rina said.
"Thank you." Seira said, "But who will introduce me?"
"Sarah will introduce you." Luchia smiled, "I talked to her before she left and also your first class will be English class."
Seira jumped happily.
"Well then Seira. Let's take you to our class." Hanon smiled as they led her to their class.
Back to the present:
"So I must not say any South Pacific Ocean related to Hotoshi. Got it." Seira said to herself and smiled.
She then saw Sarah coming and smiled at her when she saw her.
"Sarah." Seira said happily.
"Call me Miss by now. Otherwise, others would hear." Sarah said.
"Oh. Sorry."
"Ready to join Nagisa and Hotoshi?"
Seira nodded happily.
Meanwhile, other students are starting to come inside the class.
"Well Nagisa. Within a few minutes, let the fun begin!" Hotoshi said happily.
"Starting with a new student introduction." Nagisa smiled.
"Exactly."
Soon Sarah appeared and gave a warm big smile. The students also smiled at her.
"Good morning everyone. How are you all?" Sarah asked.
"We are all fine, miss!" The students answered cheerfully.
"Her cheerful smile really makes this class in an upbeat mode." Hotoshi smiled.
"It sure is." Nagisa smiled.
Sarah smiled at all of them.
"Before I start the class, there is a new student coming in this class." Sarah said.
All the students are getting excited to see who could it be.
"Well here comes something." Nagisa said.
"I'm getting excited." Hotoshi said.
Sarah looked at all of them for a few seconds before saying:
"You may enter now."
Enter Seira who walked slowly inside her class with a smile on her face. By the moment she looked at all of them, the students were in awe and stunned:
"Oh Wow! She really is pretty!"
"Long Orange Hair!"
"Where did she come from?"
As for Nagisa and Hotoshi, they are also stunned and surprised.
"Oh...My...God." Nagisa and Hotoshi said it slowly, in shock, so that others won't hear.
"Wasn't she the one whom we met at Maki-san's beach cafe and in Pearl Piari?" Hotoshi asked.
"Yep. I'm sure she is the one." Nagisa said.
"Did Hanon tell you anything about it?"
"No. She didn't tell me anything about her appearing in here. What about you, Hotoshi?"
"I don't know anything about it either."
"Maybe they wanted us to get surprised."
"You can say that again. I'm already surprised."
Seira was looking around to see if there are some orange haired boys. Unfortunately there's no orange haired ones. However, she smiled when she saw Nagisa and Hotoshi.
"At least Hotoshi and Nagisa are here." Seira thought and smiled.
"Well then. Introduce yourself." Sarah smiled.
Seira took a deep breathe.
"My name is Seira. I hope I can make new friends here. Nice to meet you all." Seira said cheerfully.
"WELCOME TO THE SCHOOL, SEIRA!" The students greeted cheerfully.
"Thank you all!"
"Well Seira. Why not you sit beside Hotoshi and Nagisa?" Sarah smiled.
Seira gladfully nodded as she ran to sit beside Hotoshi and Nagisa.
"Well Nagisa. It looks like we are on a roll here with her." Hotoshi smiled
"Yeah. You can say that again." Nagisa smiled.
So Sarah began the class. Seira was very excited to sit beside Hotoshi and Nagisa. Hotoshi looked at Nagisa and Nagisa looked at Hotoshi. Both looked very confused.
40 minutes later:
"Well students. See you later." Sarah smiled.
"Thank you miss." All students said.
Sarah smiled at them before she left.
"Do you know one funny story that my mother told me?" Hotoshi asked.
"Nope. You are going to tell me about it?" Nagisa asked.
"Yep. It's so funny that I almost died of laughter."
"Can I join too?" Seira asked excitingly.
"Well then. Join in."
So Hotoshi began the story:
"One day, a man saw a beautiful mermaid in the sea and he tried to flirt with her. She didn't like it and when he went too far, she gave him a..."
Both Nagisa and Seira are curious to hear.
"FIN SLAP!"
"Fin Slap? You mean she slapped him with her fins?" Nagisa asked.
"Yep." Hotoshi smiled.
Silence occurred for a few seconds before Nagisa and Seira roared in laughter.
"Oh! Fin slap!" Seira laughed loudly.
"He got Fin Slapped!" Nagisa also laughed.
More laughter followed in which Seira laughed on the floor.
"Okay Okay. Enough you two. You might die of laughter." Hotoshi said.
Both Seira and Nagisa stopped laughing though Seira giggled a little bit.
"So Seira. How did you get enroll in here?" Hotoshi asked.
"My friends told me all the great things that happened here and I really want to be here." Seira smiled, "My friends helped me enroll here and I'm really excited to see you boys. We are really gonna have a wonderful time together."
"Yep. It sure really is. Did Hanon and others showed you around the school?" Nagisa asked.
"Yep. They showed me an hour ago before the school started."
"I see. Seems like we are the only three first year students that have the same eye and hair color."
"Yahoo!" Hotoshi jumped happily, "Blue, Yellow and Orange."
"Actually, three sea first year students." Seira thought and smiled.
Hotoshi stood up.
"Let's go to their class." Hotoshi said happily.
"Whose class?" Seira asked.
"Your friends' class of course."
"Yeah! Let's go there." Nagisa said happily.
"Hooray! What a coincidence! I also want to go there too!" Seira said and jumped happily, "Let's go Hotoshi and Nagisa."
And with that Seira grabbed Hotoshi's and Nagisa's hands and started running, dragging the two boys.
"She really is in a upbeat mode, isn't it?" Hotoshi asked.
"She always is." Nagisa smiled.
Meanwhile in Luchia's class, while all those things that's happening in Nagisa's class are happening, Kazama was holding his Indigo E-Pitch Microphone and started singing happily:
Tamashī no otoko
Un! Watashi wa tamashī no otokodesu!
Tamashī no otoko
Un! Watashi wa tamashī no otokodesu!
"Well that sure brings the good memories that we sang in the talent show in the last year." Masahiro smiled.
"It sure is." Kazama said happily as he puts the E-Pitch microphone in his bag.
Kazama then took a book about mermaids from his bag and got excited.
"Let me tell you a story although you do know it by now." Kazama said.
"Still. Let me hear it from you." Masahiro was excited.
"Okay then. Here goes."
Meanwhile Luchia, Kaito, Hanon and Rina are about to enter their class when suddenly they saw Kazama saying to Masahiro:
"And so there are seven mermaid princess."
Luchia, Hanon, Rina and Kaito are a bit surprised about what Kazama said but they smiled at him.
"Well Well. If he is talking about the mermaid princesses?" Kaito smiled.
"Yep. He sure really is." Hanon said happily.
"How about we hear it from him?" Luchia asked.
"Good idea." Rina said.
So the four of them walked slowly and stood behind Masahiro and Kazama to hear about it. Masahiro and Kazama, unfortunately, didn't notice that Luchia and others are behind them.
"One of them from the North Pacific Ocean." Kazama said happily to Masahiro, "And one of them is from the South Atlantic Ocean which is Nagisa's favorite ocean."
"It's my favorite ocean as well." Hanon said happily.
Kazama, who is still not noticing that Luchia and others are behind them, continue to talking to Masahiro:
"Ah yes! It's his girlfriend's favorite ocean as well. Next is The North Atlantic Ocean which is your favorite ocean, right?"
"It sure is." Masahiro smiled, "Green Green."
"It's my favorite ocean as well." Rina smiled.
"Yep. It's your girlfriend's favorite ocean as well." Kazama said happily, still not noticing.
And then Kazama turned the page.
"And then we have the South Pacific Ocean which is Hotoshi's favorite ocean, Arctic Ocean which is my favorite ocean, Antarctica Ocean and The Indian Ocean." Kazama said before closing the book.
"You know what Masahiro? When the Dark Age occurred in the sea, my mom and Hotoshi's mom gave us the worst possible news." Kazama said.
"And what news is that?" Masahiro asked.
"The kingdoms have been attacked and their princesses have been captured with The South Pacific Mermaid Princess captured first and later The Arctic Ocean Mermaid Princess. Oh the tragedy!"
"I pity you. What about the other five mermaid princess?"
"Well Hotoshi knew about what happened to the Indian Ocean Princess and he is very tight-lipped about it. As for the other four mermaid princess, I have no idea but what my mom did tell me that the North Atlantic Princess and the Arctic Ocean Princess are best friends for life. Just like us. Yahoo!"
"That would be me and Noel." Rina thought and smiled.
Kazama then took out another drawing from his bag and showed it to Masahiro. They still had not noticed that Kaito and others are watching it as well.
"What's this?" Masahiro asked.
"Plan for Operation: Rescue which never happened." Kazama said.
"I see. So what's the plan?"
"The plan was that Me and Hotoshi would go to Gaito's castle to rescue the captured mermaid princesses. Hotoshi would try to find out where they have been held captive and I would beat the hell out of Dark Lovers, Crap Lovers or whatever their group name is. Then when I would meet Gaito, I would do this..."
Kazama then stood on the desk and acted out what he could have done if he met Gaito.
"Hey you ! My name is Kazama Yoshiro and you think you can go on with your destruction and feel that you are safe from everyone? Not today cause I'm gonna beat the hell out of you. Now feel the power of my legs! Hai-Yah!"
Then Kazama showed of his Tae-Kwon-Doo moves for sometime.
"And then when I'm done with Gaito." Kazama said as he jumped back to his seat, "I'm gonna run to the place where the captured Mermaid Princesses are held captive, break the glass with Hotoshi and soon we will be heroes! Yahoo!"
"True. But what if the Indian Ocean Princess was there?"
Kazama then froze for a moment. How can he forgot to take that consideration?
"Crap! Hotoshi could have been in real danger if the Indian Ocean Princess was there." Kazama said, "But now this plan is no use now. My mom told me that the mermaid princesses have taken Gaito and his so called Dark Lovers down and out."
"Nice." Masahiro said.
"And speaking about that, when we went to Maki's beach cafe, I was really shocked that Gaito, Sara and one of the Dark Lovers are still there. Hotoshi told me that he was surprised as well."
"So what are you going to do right now?"
"I think I will keep an eye on them for a few weeks to see if they are planning to do something fishy. Hotoshi will also do the same thing."
"And what if they are really planning to do something fishy?"
"Then we will tell our moms and our moms will tell the mermaid princesses about it and all seven or six of them will gather up and defeat Gaito again down and out!"
"And what if they don't?"
"Then I have no idea."
Both of the boys laughed. Behind them, Luchia and her friends smiled at them.
"What a plan you really made, Kazama." Kaito thought.
"Aww Kazama-san. You really do care about the Arctic Ocean Princess." Luchia thought and smiled.
"Gaito and Yuri better be careful. Or else they are gonna tell their mummies about it." Hanon smiled and giggled.
"Masahiro knew what happened to them recently, Kazama. All the kingdoms are safe." Rina thought and smiled.
After a few seconds, Luchia broke the silence:
"Ohaiyo Hamasaki-san and Kazama-san." Luchia greeted them cheerfully.
Both Kazama and Masahiro got frightened a little bit and finally when they looked back, they saw Luchia, Hanon, Rina and Kaito are smiling at them.
"Well hello people." Kazama said, "Or should I say wizards?"
"Wizards? Why are you calling us wizards?" Kaito asked.
"Then how were you able to come behind us without us noticing?" Masahiro asked.
"Well. It's just like that." Rina smiled.
"Just like that? Or did you use magic tricks?" Kazama asked suspiciously.
"Magic Tricks? We are not wizards." Hanon laughed.
"Or maybe you used flying boots and shoes."
"Flying boots and shoes?" Luchia asked before laughing.
All six of them laughed loudly.
"Hamasaki-san. Kazama-san. We have a new student by the way." Luchia said happily.
"Really? In here?" Masahiro asked.
"Nope. In the first year." Rina smiled, "But you know her pretty well."
"Who could that be?" Kazama asked.
"Make a guess." Hanon smiled.
Suddenly there are voices coming by.
"Whoa! Whoa! Slow down Seira!"
"Yeah. We might trip."
"We are almost there, Nagisa and Hotoshi."
The others soon realize their voice.
"It's Nagisa." Hanon said happily.
"And Hotoshi-kun." Luchia said happily.
"And..." Kaito was about to say but Masahiro knew it by now.
"Bingo. It's Seira." Masahiro smiled.
"Yep. That's correct." Rina smiled and patted on Masahiro's back.
"Wait. The girl with orange long hair?" Kazama asked.
"Yep. That's her." Kaito said.
Pretty soon, Seira, Hotoshi and Nagisa appeared. Seira looked very excited while Nagisa and Hotoshi looked exhausted after all the dragging by Seira.
"Well Seira. How was your first class with them?" Luchia asked.
"It was really awesome. I even get to seat with Hotoshi and Nagisa." Seira said happily.
"Nice." Hanon smiled.
"Your friend is sure really exciting." Hotoshi said, "Dragging us all the way here."
"Sorry. Sometimes she is really in her upbeat mode." Kaito said.
"Nah. We are fine with it." Nagisa said.
"Well Well. So you are the new student, right?" Masahiro smiled.
"Oh Hamasaki-san! Kazama-san! It's really good to see you." Seira said happily, "I'm making friends so quickly."
"Cause you already know them." Rina said.
"Hey Seira. What's up?" Kazama asked happily, "Give me a five."
So Kazama and Seira slapped high fives in which everyone smiled.
"Hotoshi told us a really funny story in which I really died of laughter." Seira laughed.
"Really? What could it be?" Luchia asked.
"Fin Slap." Nagisa said.
Everyone looked at them in awe.
"Fin slap?!" Kaito laughed slowly.
"That's right." Hotoshi smiled, "A man tried to flirt with a mermaid so she slapped him not with her hands, but with her fins."
A roar of laughter occured.
"Oh! I bet he was thrown away by miles." Kazama laughed.
"Not by miles. By metres." Masahiro said.
"Or kilometers." Rina smiled.
"Whatever. She slapped him with fins!" Kaito laughed.
"I know right. It is so funny." Seira laughed.
"I have a new type of attack." Hanon said happily.
"And what could that be?" Luchia asked.
"Forehead Flick."
"Forehead Flick?" Everyone asked.
"Yep."
"Try me then." Hotoshi said.
"Sure."
And so Hanon 'Forehead Flicked' Hotoshi but much to her shock, Hotoshi didn't get hurt.
"That's it?" Hotoshi asked, "That's your forehead flick?"
"But I did it to someone and he went crying afterwards. I'm sure of it. Oh!" Hanon whined in which everyone laughed.
A student appeared and called them.
"Luchia, Hanon, Rina, Seira and Kaito. The English miss is calling you in her room." A student called.
"I see. Thanks." Kaito said.
The student left.
"Well boys. It looks like something important is waiting for us." Luchia said.
"Yeah. See you later." Kaito said.
"Nagisa. I hope to see you around then." Hanon smiled.
"Same goes to you Masahiro." Rina smiled.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Seira called.
The five of them left.
"Do you have any idea why the English miss called them?" Kazama asked.
"I have no idea." Masahiro said.
"Maybe they did something fishy in her room." Nagisa said.
"Like throwing rubbish on the floor." Hotoshi said.
All four of the boys laughed.
Seira, Luchia, Hanon, Rina and Kaito are almost there to Sarah's room.
"Wow! Fin Slap." Luchia laughed.
"And Hanon's so called Forehead Flick." Kaito said.
"Hey!" Hanon whined in which everyone laughed.
"And Kazama thinks that we have flying boots and shoes as we went behind them without them noticing." Rina smiled in which everybody laughed loudly.
"I have today discovered that..." Seira was about to say but Luchia interrupted.
"Not now Seira. You can discuss about that later." Luchia said.
They then entered Sarah's room where Sarah is typing something on the computer. When she saw them, she smiled at them.
"Hello princess and friends." Sarah smiled.
"Sarah." Luchia smiled, "How are you?"
"I'm fine princess. Besides, I only have first year class and other classes today. Not your class."
"Mou."
"What are you typing in the computer?" Hanon asked curiously, "A love letter?"
"Love letter?" Sarah gulped.
Rina looked at the computer and shook her head.
"Nope. Not a love letter." Rina sighed, "It's just a formal letter to the principal about a meeting."
"Exactly." Sarah said.
"Letter, Meetings, Paper works. Good Lord! Don't you get a headache from doing all these stuffs?" Kaito asked.
"Well at least I'm in this school where I get to see you."
"But you shouldn't overwork yourself." Luchia said, "If you do so, you might suffer stress-related illness. You are one of my people and I don't really want to see you suffer from such illness ."
"And that's why within 15 minutes after the school ends, I'm done."
"Oh. That's a relief."
"So Seira. How is your first day today?"
"It is really awesome. I'm glad that I could sit with Nagisa and Hotoshi." Seira said happily, "Though I couldn't find any orange-haired boys there."
"Don't worry Seira. You will find someone soon."
"Thank you."
"By the way, why did you call us here?" Luchia asked.
"Two things." Sarah said, "First is the letter. Nikora gave me this letter before I came here so here it is."
Sarah then gave the letter to Luchia. Luchia and her friends read the letter:
Luchia, Hanon, Rina, Kaito and Seira,
Me, Hippo, Taki, Gaito, Sara and Yuri are going to the sea to sort out sea related issues. Maki will be staying with you guys. Food has been prepared. Take care.
Nikora.
P.S: DO NOT make a mess on your rooms. I'm going to check each and everyone one of your rooms when we return.
After they read the letter, Luchia and others jumped in joy.
"Hooray! We can be our self finally." Luchia said happily.
"And we can do whatever we want." Hanon said happily.
"But we have to clean our rooms cause Nikora will be checking our rooms when they come back." Rina said.
"And if we don't, you know what will happen." Kaito said.
"Don't worry. We will be responsible." Seira said happily, "And I hope she can give us a grand prize if we do so."
"Oh Please." Everyone said and they all laughed.
"But I am really worried about Gaito, Sara and Yuri. They might face some hostile reaction from other kingdoms." Sarah said.
"I think Nikora and Taki can explain everything at the sea." Luchia said, "I really hope so."
"Maybe it might take some time for them to do that." Hanon said.
"Well at least we might not face some hostile reaction." Rina sighed.
"I wonder if Hotoshi's and Kazama's mother will be there as well." Kaito said.
"You met them?" Sarah gasped.
"Not really." Seira said.
"Oh."
"And what about the second thing?" Luchia asked.
"The second thing is about my decision whether to stay with you."
"Oh. So what is it?"
"I'm afraid I may not be able to do so."
"But why?" Seira whined.
"Seira. She has some reasons for it." Luchia said, "Go ahead Sarah."
Sarah took a deep breathe and told her reason:
"Well the reason is that Momo, who is your messenger, was extremely sad when I saw him. His mother, whom you refer as Momo-chan, told me that he wanted to play with someone but there is no one since the others are so busy with themselves and you are in the human world. I felt very bad for him and I thought that if I leave, then he will truly be lonely. So I decided to take care of him."
Upon hearing that, Luchia gasped and a single tear came out from her eye.
"OMG! Poor Momo." Luchia thought sadly.
"How could your people be so mean to him?" Hanon asked in shock, "He just wanted to play with someone."
"They are really not mean to him. It's just that they don't have the time to do so." Rina said sadly.
"At least you are there for him." Kaito said.
"Luchia. Are you okay?" Seira asked worriedly.
Luchia dropped her bag and hold Sarah's hands with tears in her eyes.
"Sarah. I understand your reason. I respect your decision." Luchia said in tears in her eyes, "When you go back to our kingdom, could you tell him that I'm really sorry that I didn't see him for a long time? Oh God! Why did I never check on him?"
And then Luchia started to cry in which Sarah comforted her.
"There There princess. Don't cry." Sarah said, "I will do so. Momo and his mother just wanted to see you."
"I will see them." Luchia said, "But how can I? There will be so many people at that time."
"With this."
Sarah then took the whistle from her bag and showed it to them.
"With this whistle, Momo-chan hears it and she takes me back to the palace." Sarah said, "When I return tonight, I will tell her that when the next whistle comes, she should bring Momo with her."
"Not today. We will be very busy today." Kaito said, "Tomorrow."
"I see."
"Wait. So do you mean that..." Hanon gasped as they finally realized it.
"Yep. Momo-chan now offered me to take the ride to the human world and when I blow the whistle, she will pick me up."
"Wow! Not at least you won't be tired of swimming back and fourth." Rina smiled.
"And not only that, it saves you energy." Kaito said, "And you won't be very tired."
"Since when did you start using it?" Seira asked.
"Since yesterday." Sarah said, "Momo-chan gave me this whistle."
"Sarah. Thank you! Thank you so much! I'm really in your debt!" Luchia cried happily, "I just don't know how to reward you."
"Free food for her." Hanon said.
"Okay. Free food for you."
"Thanks. I'll do anything to make you happy." Sarah smiled.
Luchia smiled at Sarah as they hugged each other. Everyone smiled at them.
"Including giving her good marks even though she writes wrong answers?" Kaito smiled evily.
"Well as for that.." Sarah gulped.
Everyone laughed.
"It's okay Sarah. You just do what the other teacher does." Luchia smiled, "I'll learn my mistakes."
"I see." Sarah said.
Everyone smiled at Sarah.
"Today before the class started, I saw Hotoshi's art." Seira said happily.
"Oh really? That's great." Sarah smiled.
"And not only that, he told me and Nagisa a really funny story."
"What could that be?"
"A man tried to flirt with a mermaid but..." Hanon giggled.
"She Fin Slapped him." Luchia said happily and laughed.
"Fin Slap?!" Sarah was almost about to laugh.
"Yep. She slapped him with her fins." Kaito laughed.
The six of them started to laugh.
"And Hanon's epic fail forehead flick." Rina smiled and laughed.
"But it worked in the sea. Why it didn't work in here?" Hanon whined in which more laughter followed.
"Oh and we heard Kazama talking to Masahiro and we heard everything he said cause we were behind him." Kaito said.
"Really? They didn't notice?" Sarah asked in awe.
"No. That's why Kazama-san thinks that we have flying boots and shoes." Luchia laughed.
"So what was he talking about?"
"Well first of all, he was reading the seven oceans."
"And then he told Hamasaki-san that once his mom told him about Noel and Coco getting captured, he was heartbroken." Hanon said.
"And then he and Hotoshi made a brilliant plan name Operation: Rescue." Kaito smiled.
"Operation: Rescue?" Sarah asked curiously.
"Yeah. The plan was that Hotoshi will look for the captured Mermaid Princess while Kazama will go slam bang against the Dark Lovers." Rina smiled, "He even put up a nice act on what he would have done if he met Gaito."
"Wow."
"And now Kazama-san and Hotoshi-kun are keeping an eye on Gaito, Sara and Yuri." Luchia said.
"These things happened? I wish I was here." Seira sighed.
"So it seems that Gaito, Sara and Yuri are under watch by Kazama and Hotoshi." Sarah said.
"Yep so they better not do something fishy although we do know that they have changed." Rina said.
"Well they better not or else..." Hanon giggled before singing, "Or else they are gonna tell their mummies."
"And their mummies will tell Noel and Coco about it." Luchia giggled.
"I think it's highly unlikely." Seira said, "If they had changed, how can they do something fishy?"
"Well you got a point Seira." Kaito said.
Everyone laughed.
"Well it seems I really had fun with you guys." Sarah smiled, "But now I have to get back to work. At least all the laughter was able to cool my head."
"Your welcome Sarah." Luchia said, "I really hope I can see Momo tomorrow."
"Don't worry princess. You will."
And so they said goodbye to Sarah and went back to their class where they could see Nagisa and Masahiro playing rock-paper-scissors. They smiled at the boys.
After school:
Luchia, Hanon, Rina, Kaito and Seira are walking home to Pearl Piari.
"I wonder whether Nagisa-kun, Hamasaki-san, Hotoshi-kun, Kazama-san and their parents were aware of Mikeru and Fuku?" Luchia wondered, "They seem so concern on Gaito and Sara."
"I don't think so cause unlike my brother, Mikeru didn't attack any kingdoms." Kaito said.
"He could have if he has absorbed our powers." Hanon sighed.
"Maybe Naoki was a bit aware it. I don't know how but that was Masahiro told me." Rina said.
"Hey guys, let's forget that issue because Mikeru is now living with the ancestors." Seira said in which everyone nodded, "Why not we go out together?"
"Not today. We are really tired." Luchia said, "But we are going out somewhere tomorrow."
Soon they went inside Pearl Piari where Maki is waiting for them.
"How was your school today?" Maki asked.
"It was really the funniest day ever." Seira said happily.
"Really? Tell me about it?"
And so they told Maki what happened at school today and they laughed themselves off. Even Maki laughed so much that he fell down from the chair.
They stayed at Pearl Piari rather than going out. Rina and Hanon are in their respective rooms, chatting with their boyfriends. Luchia, Kaito are Seira lived in one room because Sara is out as well so Seira has to live with them for now and Maki is watching some T.V. At night, everyone fell asleep.
The next morning in the beach:
"Isn't it really nice to spend a day on the beach when there is no school today?" Luchia asked with a warm smile on her face.
Hanon, Rina, Kaito and Seira gladly nodded at Luchia as they could see many people in the beach. The girls are wearing their bikini in their respective color while Kaito is wearing beach shorts. He also brought his surfing board.
"It sure is and I'm so pumped up!" Hanon said happily.
"Does Maki have the keys?" Kaito asked.
"Don't worry. Maki has the keys and he has locked the doors." Rina smiled.
"Hmm.. I wonder if there is someone that we know?" Seira wondered as she is looking around for some orange haired boys.
Suddenly they heard the engine of a beach motor and "Woo-Hoo!." voices. As they approached closely, it's non other than Masahiro and Nagisa! Masahiro is riding the beach motor with Nagisa sitting behind him.
"Hi Boys!" Luchia said happily, "Seems like you are enjoying the ride."
"We sure are." Nagisa and Masahiro smiled.
"How in the world can you ride a beach motor?" Kaito gasped.
"Well my dad rode it with my mom when we were in the beach and I learned from him." Masahiro said.
"Is it really dangerous to ride it?" Seira gulped.
"No it isn't." Nagisa said, "Just make sure you don't seat too much backwards or else you will fall off."
"Masahiro. How were you able to get the beach motor?" Rina asked.
"There are plenty of beach motors in a nearby shop. The owner allows us to ride on it as long as we like providing that we pay for it and we return it back to the owner." Masahiro smiled, "I also paid an extra just in case it gets some damage. The owner thanked me and said he will return the extra if no damage occurred."
"Really? That's nice of you."
"There are still two people who can seat here." Nagisa smiled, "Who wants to join us?"
"I wanna! I wanna!" Hanon jumped happily, "What about you Rina?"
"You bet I will." Rina smiled.
And so they got into the beach motor. Masahiro is sitting at the front and controlling the beach motor with Rina sitting behind him. Behind Rina is Hanon and behind Hanon is Nagisa. Hanon grabbed Nagisa's hand so that he doesn't fall off.
"Here we go!" Masahiro said happily as he started the engine and off they went.
"YAHOO!" Rina, Hanon and Nagisa cheered happily as they slowly disappeared.
"Look at them go." Seira said sadly.
"Don't worry Seira. We will ride someday." Kaito said.
"Have a good ride!" Luchia called.
"Enjoy the ride!" A voice said.
And then when Luchia, Kaito and Seira looked to the right, they are totally mouth open with Kaito almost getting nose bleeds. You know why?
The next thing they saw on the right is Sarah on her pink bikini with many men happily feeding her desert. The umbrella is covering them from the hot sun. On seeing that scene, Luchia almost freaked out and got nose bleeds.
"Kyaahhh! Sarah!" Luchia squealed before running to them with Kaito and Seira following her, "You just remind me of Coco!"
Some men are a bit startled by it with Sarah being a bit surprise.
"Coco?" One man asked, "The one with yellow long hair?"
"Uh yeah. It's her." Luchia said, "I think I saw you when you were with her."
"It sure is and now another pretty young woman is here."
"We offered her the best desserts we could." Another man smiled.
"How was it?" The third man asked.
"It was really great. Thank you." Sarah smiled and whinked.
On seeing that, two men immediately got nose bleeds.
"Wow! Too many nose bleeds." Kaito giggled.
"Anyway boys. I would really like to talk to them." Sarah smiled.
"Certainly." The men said as they left her.
"I'm sorry! I'm really sorry for ruining your mood." Luchia cried.
"No need to apologize, princess." Sarah said, "But what made this remind you of Coco?"
"Yeah. What made you think of that?" Kaito asked, "I wasn't there at that time."
"I wasn't also there as well." Seira said.
"Well what happened was that we were looking for Coco and the next thing we saw her, the boys were happily feeding her desserts. Now when I saw that these men are happily feeding you the desserts, that reminded me of her." Luchia said.
"Ah. I see." Sarah said.
"So it's safe to say now that you and Coco are both flirtatious women." Kaito said.
"Only at the beach I flirt."
"So you are a half-flirt." Seira said happily.
"Half-flirt?!"
The four of them laughed loudly.
"When did you come at here?" Sarah asked.
"A few minutes ago." Luchia said, "Rina and Hanon are having a ride with Hamasaki-san and Nagisa-kun on a beach motor."
"Ah yes. I saw them riding. Hmm Kaito, it seems you are going to surf."
"I will surf but not now." Kaito said, "A bit later."
"I see. Well Seira, any luck?"
"If you are talking about finding love, then sadly no." Seira said sadly.
"Well luck is about to change cause I saw the one with orange hair."
"Really? Where?"
"Look over there."
Sarah then pointed at the guy with orange hair. Unfortunately, he is a man and not a boy. A woman came and smiled at him as they looked at the sea.
"First of all, he is a man and not a kid so he is too tall or old to date with Seira." Kaito sighed.
"And he already has a woman." Luchia said.
"But I saw him being alone for most of the time." Sarah said in shock.
"Maybe he tricked you indirectly." Seira said.
A small laughter followed.
"Is there anyone whom we know other than Hamasaki-san and Nagisa-kun?" Luchia asked.
"Why yes. Kazama and Hotoshi are here as well." Sarah smiled.
Luchia, Kaito and Seira are totally surprise.
"They are here as well?" Kaito gasped.
"Where? Where?" Seira asked excitingly.
Sarah pointed at a group of people watching something.
"Kazama and Hotoshi are both acting on something which I'm not sure what it is about." Sarah said, "But it is really attracting most of the people here."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go check it out." Kaito smiled.
"I can't wait to see what are they acting." Seira said happily.
Kaito and Seira ran to the group of people.
"Sarah. You can join us." Luchia smiled.
"You go ahead princess. I will just take a nice nap." Sarah said.
"Oh. Okay."
So Luchia ran to the group of people, following Kaito and Seira.
The three of them pushed their way in the front so that they can see it clearly. In front of them are some beach spades lying on the ground. Then they saw that both Kazama and Hotoshi are putting the buckets that can fit their head. Hotoshi is sitting on the beach chair, smiling evily while Kazama seems like he is ready for a duel. In their left is the two girls held captive which are none other than Kazama's fangirls.
"Prince! Prince! Help us!" The two girls cried.
"Ho Ho Prince. What are you going to do now?" Hotoshi, playing as an Evil King, smiled evily, "Will you really risk your life saving your girls?"
"I will safe my girls and put a stop to your evil plans, Evil King!" Kazama, playing as a prince, said in determination.
"My My. Such confidence but I'm more skilled then you and, like others, your blood will be in my hands."
"Not quite, you evil king." A voice said.
It's non other than Seira. She grabbed a beach spade that is lying on the ground and stood beside Kazama.
"I will help the prince." Seira declared.
"Wow!" People are in awe.
"So what do you have to say now, Evil King?" Kazama (Prince) said.
"You and your little friend have no chance of beating me. Ha Ha Ha." Hotoshi (Evil King) laughed evily.
"There will be no more Ha Ha Ha for you!" A voice said.
It's Luchia who also grabbed a spade and stood beside Kazama and Seira. Kaito did the same thing a few seconds later. This led to some people whispering:
"The Evil King is so in big trouble."
"Four vs One?! Literally Impossible!"
"The Evil King better start saying his prayers."
"Now you are overpowered and trapped, you Evil King." Kaito said.
"Don't worry, prince. We will rescue your girls." Luchia said happily.
"There is only one chance for you to survive." Kazama (Prince) said, "Surrender now and realize those girls."
"Never! All of your blood will be in my hands." Hotoshi (Evil King) said in determination.
So Hotoshi (Evil King) took out his spade and began to attack Luchia, Kaito, Seira and Kazama. The fight lasted for a minute and when Luchia poke Hotoshi with her spade, Hotoshi dropped his spade and pretended that he has been stabbed. As he pretended to slowly die, he said his last words as the Evil King:
"Thus I die. Thus...Thus...Thus..."
And there he lay, acting dead. Upon seeing it, Kazama freed the two girls. Luchia, Kaito and Seira smiled as Kazama celebrated with the two girls.
"And that ends the play." One girl said.
And then people clapped and clapped and clapped as Kaito, Luchia, Seira, Kazama and his two fangirls smiled and bowed. Some people threw roses at Hotoshi because he is still lying on the ground, playing dead.
Many people went back to doing their own stuff after watching a wonderful act. Kazama's two fangirls also went back playing themselves.
"Hotoshi. You can get up now." Kazama said, "It's over."
Hotoshi then immediately got up.
"Why the heck people threw roses at me?" Hotoshi gasped.
"Well maybe people think you died so they threw roses at you." Seira smiled.
"Really? I'm still alive and fresh. It was just an act!"
A small laughter had occurred.
"When did you guys come here?" Kazama asked.
"Minutes ago." Kaito said.
"And how did you know that there was a play scene here?" Hotoshi asked.
"The English miss, in which her name is Sarah, said that you boys are here pointed at the crowd who were watching your play." Luchia said.
"Ah Sarah."
"The first thing we saw her is men happily feeding her desserts." Kazama said.
"True and she reminds us of one of our friends." Seira said happily.
"And who could that be?" Hotoshi asked.
"Well...I don't know."
Luchia was a bit surprised about that. Kaito, however, understood what Seira is trying to do and whispered to Luchia:
"Luchia. If Seira tells Coco's name to Hotoshi, then Hotoshi might immediately think that you girls are the mermaid princess and therefore it might ruin the good friendship we have with them. Do you want that?"
Luchia them immediately realized it and shook her head.
"Say I wonder where are our best pals for life?" Hotoshi asked.
"Your best pals for life went on a ride with their girlfriends in a beach motor." Kaito said.
"Did you boys ride on it?" Luchia asked.
"Of Course! The very first thing we did on the beach is Me, Masahiro, Nagisa and Hotoshi having a nice joyful ride in the beach motor." Kazama said happily.
"And then they said they will ride themselves for their enjoyment." Hotoshi said.
"Oh Wow! Just wow!" Seira said happily.
"And now they are riding with their girlfriends." Kaito said.
"Luchia! Kaito! Seira!" A voice called by and also the roaring sound of engines.
It's none other than Hanon, Rina, Nagisa and Masahiro, who are totally in an upbeat mode. When they saw Kazama and Hotoshi, they smiled at them.
"Well Well Well. Who we have here?" Rina smiled.
"If it isn't Hamasaki-san's and Nagisa's best friend for life?" Hanon asked happily.
"Yep. It sure is." Luchia said.
"How was the ride?" Masahiro asked.
"It was really awesome!" Rina said happily, "Thanks for the ride Masahiro."
"Yeah and me and Nagisa stood up and said 'WE ARE THE KING AND QUEEN OF THE WORLD!'" Hanon said happily.
"Yep. What a ride we had." Nagisa said happily.
"So it seems like all of you had a jolly good ride." Hotoshi smiled.
"Yep." Hanon said, "Did you boys rode it before?"
"Of course we had. The first thing we did on the beach was riding on this beach motor." Kazama said happily.
"And we thought we could use it to ride it on the oceans." Hotoshi said.
"You do know that it's literally impossible to do so." Rina said.
"Well..."
Everyone laughed.
"Have you seen Sarah?" Luchia asked.
"Well yes. She is sleeping nicely under the umbrella." Hanon smiled.
"That's now." Nagisa said, "Before that, we saw men feeding her desserts."
Hanon and Rina are shocked!
"What?! Is it really true?!" Rina asked in shock.
"Yep it is. Me, Nagisa, Kazama and Hotoshi saw it when we came on the beach." Masahiro said, "I think you guys saw it as well."
"We saw it." Both Luchia and Seira said happily.
"Too bad Rina and Hanon haven't seen that one coming." Kaito sighed.
"It sure is." Both Hotoshi and Kazama said happily.
"Wow. She does sometimes act like Coco." Hanon thought and giggled.
"Anyway, we saw a large group of people watching you guys." Hanon said, "But was it?"
"Oh! Hotoshi-kun and Kazama-san were doing an acting scene in which Hotoshi-kun was the Evil King and holded two of Kazama's fangirls hostage." Luchia said.
"Yep and we soon join Kazama, who was the Prince, into battling against him and rescue the girls." Kaito said.
"And we defeated him and the Evil King died." Seira said happily.
"No I was not dead! I was playing dead." Hotoshi whined.
Everyone laughed. And then they heard the crowd cheers.
"What are they cheering for?" Luchia asked.
"No idea but let's check it out." Seira said.
So Luchia, Kaito, Hanon, Nagisa, Rina, Masahiro, Seira, Hotoshi and Kazama went to the crowd. Then they pushed themselves on the front so that they can see what is actually going on.
There seems to be a beach volleyball game between the two teams. The team on the right is on the roll. One of the female in the team slammed the ball onto the sand on the left side and won the game for her team.
"And the unbeaten team has done it again." The announcer said, "20-4, 20-6."
"Oh God. By hearing the scores, I could tell that they are really strong team." Kaito said.
"Yeah. Their opposition team couldn't even get a double digit point." Seira sighed.
"Hmm.. It seems that he is about to say something." Luchia said.
The man then took the microphone from the announcer and said this:
"Now is there anyone left to challenge us? After that, we are done for today. Come on! I'm sure many of you are willing to challenge us."
The crowd is whispering with each other.
"I don't think I'm skilled enough to challenge them." Rina gulped, "What about you, Hanon?"
"Me?!" Hanon gulped, "I might not be able to score a point."
"I have no idea on how to play volleyball." Nagisa sighed.
"Hmm..Looks like Kazama is stepping forward and is answering the challenge." Masahiro said.
"Kazama?" Hotoshi asked curiously.
Kazama then grabbed another microphone and said this:
"I WILL TAKE YOUR LAST CHALLENGE!"
"Whoa!" The crowd was surprised but cheered for him.
"I see." The man said with the microphone, "Then pick one male and one female for your team."
Kazama then looked around the crowd to find someone. After few seconds, someone responded to him.
"I'll join him!" Hotoshi declared.
"Whoa!" The crowd roared in awe.
"Now that kid has got guts." One man in the crowd said.
"Hotoshi?" Kazama was a bit surprised.
"Well my best pal for life is able to try out new things in a brave way so I will do so as well." Hotoshi said in determination.
Upon hearing that, Hanon jumped happily and hugged Nagisa.
"Kyah Nagisa! He is regarding you as his idol!" Hanon said happily.
"Not really idol." Nagisa sighed, "It's a long short story."
"Can we hear your story now?" Seira pleaded.
"Not now Seira. There is really so many people around here." Luchia said.
"Wow! Like your best pal Kazama loves to follow you around, Hotoshi loves to follow Nagisa around." Rina smiled.
"It sure is." Masahiro said.
"So Kazama and Hotoshi are here." Kaito said, "But what a female member?"
Kazama was frantically looking around for a female member when suddenly they heard a female voice:
"If you are looking for a female partner, then I'm with you."
Everyone looked at where the voice came from and guess who it is? None other than Sarah! She walked past the crowd and met Kazama and Hotoshi.
"Wow! It looks like she is well known to them." The announcer said.
"OMG! Sarah is with them." Kaito said happily.
Meanwhile Seira saw that the woman in the opposition team is getting a bit jealous because Sarah's beauty is attracting lot of people.
"Luchia. She is getting jealous." Seira whispered and giggled.
"I know. I wish I can be beautiful like Sarah." Luchia sighed.
"Oh wow. One of your people is teaming up with them." Hanon said happily.
"My oh my. So we have Kazama, Hotoshi and Sarah." Rina smiled.
"Let's see how they do well against them." Masahiro said.
The man with the microphone sniggered.
"Alright then. Listen up you three. Three sets. Whoever gets 20 points gets a set. Two straight sets and you win. Understand?"
Kazama, Hotoshi and Sarah nodded. They had a meeting discussion for a minute.
"Okay Hotoshi. So you first pass the ball to Kazama and then you, Kazama, will hit the ball up in the air. I will then do the rest." Sarah smiled.
"But...But why?" Hotoshi asked in surprise.
"I'm pretty sure she have something in her mind." Kazama said.
"But what if they slowly know our strategy?"
"Then in that case, Kazama will pass to you and you hit the ball in the air." Sarah said.
"Okay."
After they finished their quick meeting, Sarah took out her sunglasses.
"Luchia. Can you keep my sunglasses for a while?" Sarah asked as she tossed it to Luchia, who is able to catch it.
"Hai!" Luchia said happily.
"Luchia. Why did she call you by your name?" Seira asked.
"Because there are lots of people here so how she can call me a princess?"
"Oh. You got the point."
"Good Luck Sarah, Kazama-san and Hotoshi." Hanon cheered.
"Go and beat them!" Nagisa cheered.
"End their streak!" Kaito cheered.
"I wonder why did Sarah join them immediately when they were looking for a female member?" Rina wondered.
"Maybe she's good at playing volleyball." Masahiro said.
"I was also thinking about it."
"Well then everyone. LET THE GAME BEGIN!" The announcer roared followed by cheers from the crowd.
The man from the opposition team then began the game by hitting the ball in the air to Sarah's team. The ball then first went to Hotoshi, who was able to hit the ball in the air and it went flying towards Kazama, who was also able to hit the ball in the air. Then comes this 'OH MY GOD' Moment!
When the ball is in the air, Sarah ran and jumped. Two men from the opposition team knew that she is going to smash the ball and jumped to block it but little did that Sarah smashed the ball in such a way that the ball went down like a missile and the female member of the opposition team didn't move an inch as the ball slammed onto the sand near her and she freaked out. The crowd was stunned by what they saw and a few seconds later, they roared in delight.
"Did you see what I see?" The boy in the crowd gasped.
"The moment I blinked my eye, the ball is already lying on the sand on the opposition team." The girl in the crowd said in shock.
Luchia's, Kaito's, Hanon's, Nagisa's, Rina's, Masahiro's and Seira's jaws dropped. They are totally stunned. Kazama and Hotoshi jumped in delight.
"Wow! That was really awesome!" Kazama jumped happily.
"How did you do that?" Hotoshi asked.
"It's a long story, boys." Sarah smiled, "Right now, let's finish the job."
"YEAH!" Both boys roared.
And then, the game became like school boys facing against professional volleyball players. Sarah's team are in complete control. They switched strategy in which Kazama passed the ball first to Hotoshi and Hotoshi hit the ball in the air before Sarah smashed the ball like a flaming comet. This is leaving the opposition team completely confused and the crowd cheering for Sarah and her team.
"Looks like we are gonna see an end of an unbeaten streak." The announcer said.
The crowd are whispeing to each other:
"That pink haired woman is smashing the ball like hell!"
"She is so unstoppable! The boys are very lucky to have her."
"Who is she and where did she come from?"
"Are you seeing how Sarah is playing?" Hanon asked in awe.
"Yeah! If we play against her, we are so getting thrashed!" Kaito said and gulped
"I never thought that she can play so well." Luchia said in awe.
"I just can't look away from her." Seira said excitingly.
"Wow! It looks like she is going to be a great volleyball player someday." Masahiro smiled.
"You got that right. If Karen, Noel and Coco sees her playing like that, they are so gonna freak out!" Rina smiled.
"She is going to be feared internationally." Nagisa said.
10 minutes later:
The game is over and Sarah's team has handed their opposite team their first defeat: 20-3, 20-6. The crowd cheered.
"We win!" Kazama said happily.
"All thanks to Sarah." Hotoshi smiled, "Wish I could learn it from you."
Sarah smiled at the boys as Kazama and Hotoshi lifted her up. The crowd celebrated in a crazy way. The opposition team, meanwhile, are stunned and the female member whined because all the men who are attractive to her became attractive to Sarah. All of them smiled at Kazama, Hotoshi and Sarah.
"This is turning out to be the best beach day ever!" Hanon said happily.
"Yeah. Too bad Nikora and others are not here." Rina sighed.
"Hey! Where did Luchia go?" Seira asked.
"Luchia is trying to get into the crowd to give Sarah back her sunglasses." Kaito said.
"I hope that she doesn't get squeezed." Nagisa said.
"I just wish our mom and dad are here." Masahiro said sadly.
30 minutes later:
Luchia, Kaito, Hanon, Seira and Rina had their lunch in Maki's beach cafe. They wanted to tell Maki about how awesome the day is but there are so many people that Maki didn't have the time to talk to them. They went outside and looked at the sea.
"Maybe we will talk to him later." Kaito said.
"I wonder where our boys went?" Hanon wondered.
"I think I saw them in the cafe." Rina said, "They must have left by now."
"Did you give back Sarah her glasses?" Seira asked.
"Yep I sure did." Luchia smiled, "Although I had to push and pull my way to meet her."
"Oh me Oh my!"
"What is it, Seira?"
"Look at Sarah."
They all looked at where Seira is pointing and are mouth open as they saw many men happily feeding Sarah sweets.
"Wow! Look at her." Hanon giggled, "Men happily feeding her sweets."
"Now she does remind me of Coco in some ways." Rina smiled.
"I was also thinking the same thing." Luchia said.
"It seems that she is getting more popular after her awesome performance." Kaito said.
They then went closer to Sarah. When Sarah saw them, she smiled.
"Well hello there." Sarah smiled before saying to the men, "I would like to talk to them and thanks for the sweets."
The men happily nodded as they left. Luchia knelt down on Sarah.
"Sarah. Tell me honestly. How in the world were you able to play so good at volleyball?" Luchia asked in awe.
"Yeah. The way you smashed the ball, I felt like I heard a bomb coming off." Kaito said.
Everybody laughed. Sarah smiled at them.
"Well when I first came into the human world, the very first thing I saw that some people are playing volleyball. I became interested in it and practiced myself and then I discovered that I'm good at smashing it." Sarah explained.
"I think the ball will burst if you smash too much." Luchia said in which everyone laughed.
"It seems that you are already the best volleyball player here." Rina smiled.
"Yep and if you join the national team, Japan will be the No.1 team in beach volleyball!" Seira proclaimed in which everyone nodded.
"As Nagisa said, you will be feared internationally." Hanon said in which everyone nodded.
Suddenly there a voices approaching them. It's none other than Kazama and Hotoshi!
"Where's the surf champ?" Kazama asked excitingly.
"He promised us that we will see you him surf." Hotoshi said.
Kazama and Hotoshi found Kaito with others. They ran towards him.
"There you are." Hotoshi said happily.
"Kaito, the surf champ!" Kazama said happily.
"The surf champ?" Sarah was puzzled.
"Don't worry Sarah. He will show you why he is the surf champ." Luchia smiled.
"Well Kazama and Hotoshi. It seems like you have come at the right place at the right time." Kaito smiled.
"So that means you are going to surf now?" Hotoshi asked.
"Yep. Within a few minutes."
"YAHOO!" Kazama said happily.
"Kaito. I think some people are starting swimming right now with the surf board." Luchia said.
"Then the action will begin within a few seconds." Kaito said.
"WHOO-HOO!" Both of the boys cheered.
Kaito then swam on the sea with his board for a few minutes. Meanwhile, Masahiro and Nagisa arrived.
"Hi boys. What took you so long?" Hanon asked.
"We were just returning the beach motor to the owner." Nagisa said.
"I see. Was there any damage?" Rina asked.
"Nope. That's why I got the extra back." Masahiro smiled as he showed Rina the money.
"Cool!"
"Yo Masahiro and Nagisa!" Kazama said happily.
"Just in time to see Kaito surf." Hotoshi said happily.
"It's also first time I'm seeing him surf." Sarah said.
"Mine as well." Seira said happily.
"Except Me, Hanon and Rina, all of you are seeing him surf for the first time." Luchia smiled.
"Whoa! The waves are coming!" Seira exclaimed.
When the waves are slowly starting to come, Kaito knew that it's time for action. He now stood on his surf board and began to surf and wowed everybody with his surfing skills. He even did a 360 degree flip. Some people saw it and started to cheer for him.
"Wow! Look at him go!" Hotoshi cheered.
"This is awesome! No wonder he is really the surf champ." Kazama said happily.
"GO KAITO!" Seira cheered.
"Ah I see now why he is called the surf champ." Sarah smiled.
"He is and always is." Luchia smiled.
"Not surprised, eh?" Masahiro asked.
"Nope. Not really." Rina smiled.
"So what does Luchia do after Kaito finishes surfing?" Nagisa asked.
"They have a bento picnic in here." Hanon said happily.
10 minutes later:
After finishing his surf, Kaito smiled as many people clapped and cheered. Kazama, Hotoshi, Masahiro, Nagisa, Sarah and Seira met Kaito.
"That was totally cool!" Hotoshi said happily.
"Yeah! You are the king of all surfers!" Kazama cheered.
"Thanks guys." Kaito smiled.
"How did you learn to surf in the first place?" Masahiro asked.
"My foster dad taught me when I was little." Kaito said.
"And you never stopped surfing since that." Nagisa smiled.
"True. My love for surfing never dies."
"Well. In that case, you should go to other countries for international surfing championship." Sarah smiled, "You will get hugely popular if you win there."
"I think I went to Hawaii for that tournament and I won there."
"Wow! Call us if there is one and we will certainly come." Seira said.
"Of course I will."
While they are chatting, Luchia and her friends smiled at them.
"I have no idea how do we explain Nikora and others about how much fun we had today and yesterday." Hanon said.
"Don't know but we might have to write a novel about it." Luchia laughed.
"I wonder how the boys are going to tell that to their parents?" Rina asked.
"We have no idea." Luchia and Hanon sighed before all three of them laughed.
Night:
Luchia, Hanon, Rina and Seira are in their mermaid forms enjoying themselves on the sea while Kaito is sitting on the rocks.
What happened was that after Kaito's surf, they enjoyed themselves till evening in which Masahiro, Nagisa, Hotoshi and Kazama left. With the boys gone, except Kaito, they went back to helping Maki on his beach cafe since there are still many people at that time. Kaito, Luchia, Hanon, Rina and Seira wanted to tell Maki about what happened in the beach today but Maki told them that they can tell it to him later when Nikora and others come. No one knew where Sarah went after evening.
And now here there are. Enjoying themselves on the sea at night.
"That was really the best beach day ever!" Hanon said happily in which everyone nodded, "First we had an awesome ride with Nagisa and Hamasaki-san."
"And then we saw Sarah with many men which reminded us of Coco." Luchia said in which everyone giggled.
"And then we joined Kazama in saving the girls from the Evil King, Hotoshi." Seira laughed.
"Then we saw Sarah's unbelievable performance in which she smashes the ball like flaming comet." Rina smiled.
"And finally my awesome surfing." Kaito said proudly.
"Does Maki-san have the keys with him?" Luchia asked.
"Don't worry. He told me he will leave the door open so that we can go inside when we come back."
Everyone sighed in relief when they heard it.
"I wonder whom I can fin slap?" Rina giggled, "You are my target, Kaito."
"Why me?! What did I do?" Kaito whined in which everyone laughed.
"I was just joking. You are taking things seriously."
"You sounded like serious!"
"Well..."
Everyone laughed. Seira then immediately remember one thing.
"Uh Luchia? Have you forgotten something?" Seira asked.
"What could it be?" Luchia asked.
"Dolphins?"
Everyone gasped all off a sudden. Luchia couldn't believe herself and started to cry.
"In the middle of all the fun we had, we forgot to remind Luchia about it." Hanon cried.
"I think Sarah must have forgotten by now and went back to the palace." Rina said sadly.
"Why? Oh why did I forget?! Why?!" Luchia cried and cried on the rocks.
"Luchia." Kaito and Seira sadly said as Kaito comforted her.
"You don't have to cry anymore, princess." A voice said.
It's Sarah in her mermaid form as she popped her head out of the water.
"Sarah?" Luchia asked curiously.
"I brought someone you know." Sarah smiled.
Suddenly two pink dolphins jumped from the water and started making happy sounds. Luchia realized them and tears came out from her eyes.
"Momo! Momo-chan!" Luchia cried happily as she happily hugged the dolphins.
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I couldn't check on you two. How are you doing?" Luchia is still hugging the dolphins as if she hadn't seen them for ages, still in tears.
"I told them about why you were staying back and they understood." Sarah smiled.
"Well at least she can get to see Momo and Momo-chan at the same time." Kaito smiled.
"It's a good thing that Sarah did not forget." Seira smiled.
"You know what? You deserve to get rewarded handsomely and that is being the next mermaid princess of the North Pacific Ocean." Rina said.
"Me? Why me?" Sarah gulped.
"Well. You do your best to keep Luchia happy in the human world." Hanon said.
"But how can I even be a princess? I have no experience in being a princess whatsoever."
After a joyful meeting from the dolphins, Luchia then turned to Sarah with tears in her eyes.
"Sarah. I just don't know how to thank you. I just don't know how. I'm sorry." Luchia cried as she threw her arms around Sarah and sobbed for a while.
"Princess." Sarah sadly said as she hugged Luchia.
Kaito, Hanon, Rina and Seira smiled at Sarah and Luchia. After a few minutes, they heard voices.
"Wow. It was really great to be back in the kingdom again after such a long time."
"Yeah. Boy it sure feels like being back to the times when we were the mermaid princesses."
"Yep. It was a good thing to stay in the kingdom for some time."
"OMG! Their voices..." Luchia said happily.
"It's them! They are back." Hanon said happily.
"After a long time." Rina smiled.
"Wait. So they are...they are..." Sarah gasped in awe.
"Yes! It's them!" Seira jumped happily.
"So should we meet them?" Kaito asked.
"Of course we will meet them! Come on guys." Hanon said happily as she began to swim under the water.
"I'm so pumped up." Rina said as she followed Hanon.
"Wait for me!" Seira said as she followed them as well.
"Come on Sarah. Let's follow them. Now you'll get the chance to see them." Luchia smiled, "You can come too Kaito, Momo and Momo-chan."
Sarah gladfully took Luchia's hand as they swim together to follow them. Kaito, Momo and Momo-chan also followed the girls.
Under the sea:
Azumi, Yukito and Naoki are patting Luna, the whale who was the messenger when Naoki was the ruler, happily. Luna was so a bit sad and doesn't want to see them leave so the three former mermaid princess after comforting him.
"Hmm.. I wonder how Saito and Suzuka are doing?" Azumi wondered.
"Good point. I can't wait to tell my son and husband about what we did and I can't wait to hear from them what they did." Yukito squealed.
"I'm also excited too." Naoki said but then she was a bit sad, "I feel really sad that he couldn't get to meet my son for a while."
"Wait. Your son knows Luna?" Azumi gasped.
"Yeah. When me, my husband, son and butler went for a trip to the North Atlantic Ocean, my son had a ride with Luna at the back and they both enjoyed it."
Luna nodded sadly and was on the verge of crying. The three former mermaid princess were sad too and they patted him.
"Don't worry Luna. You will get to see him one day." Yukito said.
"Luna, I will make sure that my son gets to see you." Naoki said in which Luna smiled.
"Untill then we have to leave now." Azumi said, "Take care of yourself Luna."
Luna nodded and the three former mermaid princess are about to leave but...
"AZUMI!"
"YUKITO!"
"NAOKI!"
The three former mermaid princess are stunned for a few seconds but when they realized their voice, they smiled.
"It's them." Azumi smiled, "They are here."
"Well it looks like we will be staying with you for a few minutes, Luna." Naoki smiled.
Luna nodded happily. The three former mermaid princess saw them that they are closing by. Closer and closer...
"OMG! They are swimming faster." Yukito said happily as she stretched her arms, "Hug me!"
"Yukito!" Hanon cried happily as she and Yukito had a joyful and happy hug.
"Azumi! It's really been a while!" Luchia said happily as she hugged Azumi.
"You are acting as if you haven't seen me for ages." Azumi smiled and both she and Luchia shared a laugh.
"Were where you all this time?" Rina smiled as she hugged Naoki.
"In the kingdom of course." Naoki smiled.
"Oh. I forgot. Your son told me about it."
Both Naoki and Rina laughed.
"So it's them. The former mermaid princess." Sarah smiled.
"Yep. They are the ones. The two of them are also Nagisa's and Masahiro's mother." Kaito said.
"Which one?"
"The one with Hanon and Rina right now." Seira said.
Momo and Momo-chan are making happy sounds. Seira and Kaito swam to meet the former mermaid princess.
"Well if it isn't Seira, mermaid princess of the Indian Ocean?" Naoki smiled.
"It sure is." Seira said happily, "I have got some really exciting news to tell you."
"Really? What could it be?" Yukito asked in excitement.
"Kaito. You aren't wearing any swimming gear. How could you still breathe?" Azumi asked.
"Have you forgotten? I am the Panthalassa Prince." Kaito said in shock.
"Oh right. I forgot."
Everybody laughed loudly. Sarah then swam a bit to meet them.
"It's good to see you, former mermaid princesses." Sarah smiled.
"Uh? Who are you?" Azumi asked curiously.
But Yukito and Naoki gasped.
"OMG! Are you the English teacher?..." Yukito asked in awe.
"...who is also one of Luchia's people?" Naoki asked in awe as well.
"Yes I am." Sarah smiled.
"Oh wow!" Naoki and Yukito jumped happily.
"It seems that you really are." Azumi said happily.
Naoki and Yukito shook Sarah's hands.
"Her name is Sarah by the way." Luchia smiled, "Sarah. This is Azumi."
"Sarah. It's really nice to meet you." Azumi said.
"It's nice to meet you too." Sarah smiled, "You must be the former mermaid princess from our kingdom."
"I sure am."
"Then it's really honor to meet you. Not only you but all of you."
"She takes our class and your son's class." Hanon smiled.
"Cool!" Yukito said happily.
"We told them about you when we first met her." Rina smiled.
"Our boys also told about her as well." Naoki smiled.
"Yukito. I'm got enrolled in Nagisa's class." Seira said happily.
"Wow! Congratulations!" Yukito happily patted Seira's back.
"So now we have Kaito, Me, Hanon, Rina, Hamasaki-san and Kazama-san in our class." Luchia said happily.
"And Nagisa, Hotoshi and Seira in first years class." Kaito smiled.
Everybody cheered.
"So guys. What have you been doing in our kingdom?" Luchia asked.
"Well we got the message that many people are feeling a bit insecure so we decided to leave our family for a while and cover up your absence by becoming the mermaid princess." Azumi said.
"And now you are back to being a former mermaid princess." Sarah smiled in which Azumi sighed and everyone laughed.
"But we felt like we are back to good times when we were the mermaid princesses." Yukito said happily.
"Brings you back the good memories." Hanon smiled in which Yukito nodded.
"Yeah. Many people are very happy that we came even though it's temporarily." Naoki smiled.
"You had the good times. We had the bad times." Rina sadly said.
"But the sea is peaceful for now." Sarah said.
"So how is everybody in Pearl Piari?" Azumi smiled.
"Everyone is fine but they are all under the sea for sea-related issues." Luchia said, "Only Maki is staying with us for now."
The former mermaid princesses are a bit shock.
"They are under the sea?" Yukito gasped.
"But I haven't seen them." Naoki said.
"Well maybe you were inside the kingdom so you probably haven't seen them." Seira said.
"Maybe you are right." Azumi said, "What sea-related issues did they talk about?"
"They didn't say anything about that. Plainly sea-related issues they said." Kaito said.
"I see."
The whale slowly approached them.
"Uh? Who is this whale?" Rina asked.
"Oh. That's Luna. He was the messenger when I was the ruler." Naoki smiled.
"Oh wow! He is so cute." Hanon squealed.
"Well Luna. Meet..."
Luna already started to rub Rina's cheeks. Rina laughed a bit and patted him. Luchia and others approached and patted him.
"I think he already knows her." Azumi smiled.
"Luna, right? That's a nice name for you." Luchia smiled.
"Hello Luna. It's really nice to meet you." Rina smiled.
"Rina also has a whale messenger." Hanon said, "His name is Minke."
"I see." Naoki said.
But Seira noticed that the whale is very sad.
"But it seems to be Luna is very sad." Seira sadly said.
"Yeah. But why is he sad?" Sarah asked.
"Well he is sad because he wants to see my son." Naoki said.
Rina, Luchia, Hanon, Sarah, Seira and Kaito are shocked!
"Wait. So Masahiro knows Luna?" Rina asked in shock.
"Well yeah. When me and my family had a family trip to the North Atlantic Ocean, my son rode on Luna's back and both of them enjoyed it." Naoki said.
"And since then he hasn't seen Masahiro since due to several reason." Yukito said.
"With Gaito's destruction being obvious." Azumi said.
"How long it has been since Masahiro last rode on Luna's back?" Sarah asked.
"5 to 6 years I guess." Naoki said.
"You do have photos of it, right?" Kaito said.
"Yep."
Luna sadly nodded and started to cry. Everyone felt sad for Luna and patted at him.
"Ohhh you poor Luna." Hanon said sadly in tears, "You really want to see Hamasaki-san."
"Don't cry Luna. Let me wipe off your tears." Luchia said sadly as she did so.
"I feel really bad for you Luna." Seira sadly said.
"Does your son remember Luna?" Rina asked sadly.
"He does. He has one photo for himself in which he remembers Luna." Naoki said, "He also misses him."
"Now I feel bad for Masahiro and Luna."
"Luna really deserves a chance to see Masahiro again." Kaito said.
"I know. That's why I'm trying to figure it out how to do so." Naoki said.
"Well you can't do it now because it's dark already." Sarah said.
"Don't worry Luna. You will get to see him again. Naoki promised." Yukito said.
Luna smiled after hearing that.
"Say who are those dolphins by the way?" Azumi asked.
"Oh. That's my messenger, Momo, and his mom, Momo-chan." Luchia smiled, "Momo and Momo-chan, this is Azumi, former mermaid princess of our kingdom whom I succeeded."
Momo and Momo-chan went straight to Azumi and started to rub Azumi's cheeks.
"Nice to meet you, Momo and Momo-chan." Azumi smiled.
"I know them and I rode on their backs." Kaito said happily.
"Nice."
Everyone smiled at the dolphins and Azumi.
"We have so many things to tell you when you were gone." Seira said happily.
"I think they are too tired to listen to you." Sarah said, "You are returning home, right?"
"Yep. We will hear it from our sons." Yukito said.
"And we will hear it from you later." Naoki smiled.
"I think we better get going or else they might start to become very worried." Azumi said.
"I think let's swim home together." Luchia smiled, "Thank you Sarah for everything. You can go home now."
"Thank you princess. Come on Momo, Momo-chan and Luna, let's go home together." Sarah said.
"Luna. You will get to see him so don't be so down." Rina said.
And so Sarah, Momo, Momo-chan and Luna went back to their respective kingdom while the others swam back to their own homes.

Yukito: But he claims that he will not forget.
Naoki: How about let's see, after one month, whether he remembers or not?
The boys (Kaito, Nagisa, Masahiro, Hotoshi, Kazama and Hippo): So this means that we are gone for now on.
The husbands (Saito, Taoki and Shizuro): When we come back, there's sure going to be plenty of fun.
