Episode 8: A Frozen betrayal?
POV=Hippo
After school, I ran up to Yuuri. "Yuuri-san!" "What?" said Yuuri. "Well... you're entering this year's Tokyo Rollerskating competition, right?" "Yeah." said Yuuri, "You're coming to watch, right?" "Yeah!" I said, "Is that okay?" "Not really. I don't mind" said Yuuri, "Well, see ya!" "uhh... Yuuri-san!" I said, "Umm... If i make a bento, umm... Will you eat it with me?" "Sure, if I win that is..." said Yuri
"Nice going, Hippo..." said Hanon, "You are able to plan out making Yuuri-san a bento!" I giggled. "But if she doesn't win, that means you won't be able to eat with her." said Hanon. "That won't happen!" I said, "Yuuri-san will be the champ this year too!" "It must be pretty tough on her." said Hanon. "Why?" "To get to the top and protect the championship must be very stressful." said Hanon, "She's probably handling the pressure with all her might right now." "Well then, I'll make her a bento with all my spirit!" I said. Hanon smiled. "Okay, do your best!" I nodded.
POV=Yuuri
Emi and Yoshino went up to me. "Hey Yuuri, did you hear?" said Emi, "This year, the Sapporo champion is gonna enter!" "So it seems." I said. "That would be dangerous." Yoshino said, "Isn't she a powerful rival? It was Kyou Akiyama last time, right?" "Yeah." I said. We heard some fanboys near Kyou. "As the rumors said, here comes the champion." said Sayo. "Kyou-san do your best!" said one fanboy. "We're cheering for you!" said another. "Win the championship for sure!" said another. "Thank you," said Kyou, "I guess I will take the championship!" She then saw me. "You're last year's Kanto champion, right?" Kyou said, "Show me a good match!" Kyou and her fanboys left. "What a confident guy." said Emi. "Yuuri, don't let her win the trophy!" said Yoshino. "You bet!" I said. I looked at Kyou. "Wow, he can do it." said Emi. "As one would expect from the Sapporo champ." said Yoshino.
POV=Hippo
I was talking to Hanon about the Bento. "what should I make..." I said. "It doesn't matter whats inside the bento." said Hanon, "As long as it contains love, since girls love homemade cooking." "I guess so!" I said. "But putting her favourite food in would be the best thing to do." said Hanon. I glared at Hanon. "jeez, hanon-san. you never think about me..." A few minutes later, I was reading through, like, a dozen recipe books. "Huh, It seems that tamagoyaki is good in packed bentos." I said, "Or maybe octopus wieners." "Yeah, tough decision, isn't it?" said Hanon. "Or maybe something hot would be good." I continued, "The sea still seems really cold. What do you think, Hanon." But Hanon didnt respond. I checked what she was reading. "Who's that?" I said. "Oh this guy's named Kyou." said Hanon, "She is the Sapporo champion and is coming here!"
The next day, while I was taking Hanon shopping, we noticed a girl. It was Kyou! "Yo, good morning!" she said. "You're Kyou-san, right?" I said. "What an honour to be known by such a cute boy!" said Kyou, "You are coming to see tomorrow's tournament, right?" "Yup." said Hanon, "We're going. Right Hippo?" "Yeah!" "Hey Kyou-san," said Hanon, "He's confused over what to put in a bento. What's good?" "I'm delighted! Hippo-chan, you're going to make me a bento tomorrow!" said Kyou. I gasped. "Oh yeah, I'll ask Tarou-chan!" said Hanon. We talked about what I should put in Yuuri's bento. "Well then, I'll be looking forward to the bento, Hippo-chan. Bye!" said Kyou. She then left. "Jeez, even though it's not for her." I said, "Oh well..."
That night, I started making the bento. "Tomorrow's menu is; Vegetables that get a perfect score for stamina!" I said, "And then, savoury fried chicken, tamagoyaki, onigiri, sandwiches, hamburgers and omelette rice and then... what else is there to make..." "Hippo, Why the heck are you making this much!" said Hanon. "Hey! I only wanted to make him happy!" I said. "Hippo, I understand how you feel, but love and cooking are two different things!" "I know." I said, "Anyways, Let's make the bento!" So we made the bento. Pretty soon, "It's done!" I said. "Eat this, came stamina, and make it so that can win the surfing competition!" I thought.
The next day, It was the rollerskating competition. "Here we go, the Tokyo Rollerskating Race!" said the announcer. "Wow, lot's of people!" said Hanon. "I wonder where Yuuri-san is?" I said. I then heard Kyou say "Hippo-chan!". "Morning!" said Kyou. "Kyou-san, thanks for teaching me that stuff yesterday!" I said. "Did you create a good bento?" said Kyou. "Yeah! As you instructed!" I showed the bento to Kyou. I packed it in a picnic basket since I made so much. "Wow, it's amazing Hippo-chan! Looks so good!" commented Kyou. "Really?" Just then, Kyou took some food from the basket. "I'll have some!" I gasped. "Aww, that packed lunch was for Yuuri-san after all." said Hanon. Just then, Yuuri walked past. "Yuuri-san!" "Yo, Tokyo champion." said Kyou, "Hippo-chan made this lunch just for me!" "Um, that's wrong, this isn't what it seems" I said. But she ignored me. "Hippo-chan's bento is the greatest!" she said, "You want some?" "Nah, I'm fine." said Yuuri. She left. "Yuuri-san, I'm telling you this isn't what it seems..." I said. "Oh crap..." said Hanon, "He totally misunderstood." "I worked so hard on creating if for her, and now..." I thought. "Yuuri-san.."
We watched the race. Just then, an ice beam was shot and people started skating out of control. An ice beam started heading for Yuuri. "Yuuri-san watch out!" I shouted. Yuuri dodged the beam. "I knew the sea was acting strange." said Hanon, "It must be their doing!" "Wait, how did you know about the water demons?" I said. Hanon sighed. "Whatever. I won't forgive them for ANY reason!" I said, "How dare they mess with Yuuri!" I jumped into the water. It was the demon we saw at the legendary cave! I also noticed Mizuiro. "So you finally appeared, Mermaid Princesses!" she said, "I was getting sick of waiting for you!" "This water temperature is..." I thought. Mizuiro said, "Be careful, she has..." "FREEZE!" shouted the water demon as she shot a beam of ice. We dodged. "Now I'm pissed!" I said. "Pink Pearl Voice!" "Mizuiro Pearl Voice!" "Damn you, Pearl Princesses!" said the demon. "I won't forgive you for screwing up the surfing competition that everyone was working so hard for!" I said. "Oh shut up! I don't wanna hear your preaching!" said the demon. "Today's audience are the fishes of the ocean! Here we go!" I said "Pitchi Pitchi Voice live start!" "Freeze!" said the demon again. as she shot another beam. The beam hit the live stage. It failed

"Love shower Pitch! How about an encore?" "How rude. How can you refuse my love!" said the demon, "You see now!" She disappeared.
POV=Yuuri
I won the race. "As expected of the Champion!" said the announcer, "Although the others all fell down, her many techniques have decided it! This year's champion is none other than Yuuri Pandorin!" Kyou went up to me. "You were cool." she said, "My loss... is to you." "Yeah, thanks!" I said. We shook hands.
At sunset, I was cleaning his surfboard when Hippo walked up to me "Yuuri-san..." he said. "Hippo, what happened to my bento?" I said. "You said you didn't want it back then..." said Hippo. "Didn't I tell you, I'd eat it once I'd won!" said Yuuri, "I've been eagerly awaiting it!" Hippo looked surprised. He unpacked the bento. "Wow looks so good!" I said. "Eat a much as you want!" said Hippo, "Because I made it all for you!" I ate the food. "It's great! Despite you appearance, you're a great cook!" "What do you mean "despite my appearance"?" We laughed.
Episode 9: Forgotten Dream
POV=Hippo
It was late at night when I heard the sound of glass crashing. I ran to check it. "What was that sound?" I said. "What's wrong?" said Nikora, "What was that?" "My crystal ball says a suspicious figure is in the kitchen" said Madame Taki. "Could it be a thief?" said Nikora. We heard saw a pot fall down. The three of us looked through the doorframe. Me and Nikora nodded at each other. "Ready!" we both said. We ran to whoever-they-are and attacked them. "Gotcha!" said Nikora. "Dammed thief! Hehehe!" said me. "Ah! It's me! It's me!" said Whoever-they-are. "Me?" I said. It was Hanon. "You're heavy! What are you two doing?" she said. "Hanon-san?" I said, "What are you doing at this time of night?"
POV=Hanon
"Huh! A bento?" said Hippo. "Yeah, Tarou-chan wasn't at school yesterday, right?" I said, "I thought maybe he caught a cold and couldn't sleep. So I was worried and couldn't sleep." "So you were in the kitchen making a packed lunch at this time." said Hippo. "Yeah, that's right!" I said, "Your bento was a huge success, so..." "I want to get all romantic with Tarou-chan by making him a bento full of love!" I said. I imagined me feeding Tarou-chan the bento
(Imagine spot)
(Hanon fed Tarou-chan the Bento)
Hanon: Here Tarou-chan, say ahhh...
Mitsuki: Hot
Hanon: It's still hot even though it's a bento?
Hanon: No, your love is so hot, I feel as if I'm being warmed by it.
Hanon: Ta-Tarou-chan!
(Imagine Spot end)
I giggled. "Kyaa! Oh please, silly Tarou-chan!" I said. "Ah! Forgive me Hanon-san!" Hippo said. I stopped. "Alright!" he said, "If that's all it is, I'll help you out, since you helped me." "I'll help too!" said Nikora. I looked at her. "Eh? You'd really help us?" "At this rate, I have no choice but to help out. At this rate, I can't stand the kitchen being messed up." "Alright! Thanks, Nikora!" I said. "But in return, you two will clean it up afterwards!" added Nikora. "Kay!"
We finished. "Wow, it's heart shaped!" said Hippo, "i'll just have a taste..." I slapped Hippo. "No you don't! The only one who gets to eat this is Tarou-chan!" Taki-san came up. "Let's see, for the finishing touch, I could bless it with a charm" she said. She started saying seemingly ominous words. "It sounds more like a curse than a charm." said Hippo. I snatches the bento. "Heh, thanks Taki-san. It's already been blessed enough!" I said. The two of us rushed out. "We're leaving!"
I was humming while carrying the bento to Tarou-chan's house. "This is actually the first time I've made anything for anyone."I said, "I wonder if Tarou-chan will enjoy my love filled bento" "It's fine, Hanon-san." said Hippo, "Yuuri-san told me mine was great!" "I guess so!" I said, "It seems the best way to get to guys is through their stomach! If I start making Tarou-chan bento everyday from now..."
(Imagine spot)
(Mitsuki eats the bento)
Mitsuki: Mmm... this is great, Hanon. You'd make a great wife for sure.
(Imagine spot end)
"And he'll say something like that!" I said. "Hanon-san! Not again!" Hippo said. I realised I was slapping Hippo, again. "Oof, sorry!" Just then, someone said, "I thought some guys were noisy over here." It was Yuuri! "And it was you guys after all." she continued. "Yuuri-san!" said Hippo. He ran over to her. "You've come at a good time!" he said, "Hey, we're going to Mitsuki-sensei's place. You wanna come too?" "Sorry, I gotta practice skating..." said Yuuri. "Eh? Even though the tournament is over?" said Hippo. "If I don't skate everyday, I'll fall behind." she said, "Bye!" She then left. But not before saying "Make me a yummy bento again sometime." I saw Hippo blush. "I'll make one and come watch you practice!" I nudged Hippo. "Looks like you're doing well with Yuuri-san." "Hn! That may..." said Hippo, "Be true!" "So Bentos are the way to go, I guess." said Hippo, "Yeah! I've suddenly got the spirit to do it! Tarou-chan, wait for me! I'll confess my love soon! And I'll do it with this love-filled bento!"
POV=Eriru
Me and the other Dark Lovers were pleading to Gaito. "Gaito-sama, we've made mistakes..." said Izuru. "But we'll capture the Pearls for sure!" said me who was massaging Gaito's Feet. Maria was giving tea to Gaito. "Gaito-sama, here-" But then, Gaito said "I have no need for peace of mind!" He knocked the tea over. "I've had enough of your useless doings." he said. He left. "Gaito-sama!" the three of us said. We noticed a musical score. "What's this?" I said. The title of the song was "Kiyoufu Shirabe". "Why would Gaito-sama have this?" said Izuru. "We can use this to lure the mermaid princesses!" said Maria.
POV=Hippo
We rang Mitsuki's doorbell. Mitsuki opened the door. "Tarou-chan!" said Hanon, "Here!" We went inside. I saw Tarou was working on a piece of sheet music. "Mitsuki-sensei, what's this?" I asked. "Oh that?" said Mitsuki, "It's an important piece of music I written for a competition." We then heard a song. It was the song Yuuri played the last time we heard Mitsuki play, although played really badly. I saw that the water demons were playing. They seem to be struggling. I decided to come. "Wait here, Hanon-san and Mitsuki-sensei!" I said. "Wait!" said Hanon, "Where are you going?" "Umm..." I noticed Hanon heard the music. "The water demons!" she said, "I'll come with you!" "Actually," I said, "I don't need help!" "Are you sure?" "Yes! Me and Mizuiro will handle this!" "Hippo you Baka," said Hanon, "I am Mizuiro!" Wait, Hanon's the Mizuiro Pearl Mermaid Princess? "After all those times we saved the day, you still haven't figured it out!" Hanon sighed. "Whatever, let's just go!" We ran outside. "Pink Pearl Voice!" "Mizuiro Pearl Voice!"
We showed up. "So you came!" said Izuru. "That piano playing sounds terrible! Do you even know how to play" I said. Eriru turned into Battle form. "Oh well!" The demons attacked us. We dodged. "Trying to lure us with bad piano playing? That's like luring a mouse with rotten cheese!" "Pitchi Pitchi Voice Live start!"

"Why is this happening to us!" said the ice demon. "It was because of your bad piano playing, Maria!" said Izuru. "No, It was Eriru!" said Maria. The three left.
POV=Hanon
Tarou-chan was playing the song. "Actually, this song is a present for someone in my heart." Tarou said. "Could it be... a girl?" I said. "Yeah." "That means... Tarou-chan has a girlfriend." I thought. "Well, it's not exactly a person. She's not human, but a mermaid." "A mermaid?" "When I was travelling in India, I saw her in the Indian Ocean" "A mermaid?" I said. "Unbelievable isn't it?'"said Tarou, "Even though I say she's a mermaid, all my friends laugh. They say that I must be delusional. But I believe... that it was a mermaid for sure. My precious mermaid memory..."
POV=Gaito
I was looking for the sheet music. Where is it? It, along with my pendant, was the last thing I had from Yuuri-san! I saw Maria playing the sheet Music. I snatched it off her. "Where did you get this?" I said. "You dropped it so I thought.." I left. I looked at the sheet music.
(Flashback)
(Yuuri has just finished playing the song)
Gaito: Good job, Yuuri-san. How about we test it on a mermaid Kingdom
Yuuri: Okay, Gaito-sama
(Flashback end)
"Yuuri-san..." I thought, "Where are you?"
POV=Yuuri
I was playing that song. I cleaned it up so it doesn't hurt anybody. I heard the song while I was skating but it just sounded so wrong, as if someone who didn't know how to play piano was playing it. "I know I heard that song a long time ago..." I thought, "But where?" I thought this was the key of unlocking my memory.
Episode 10: Final Images
POV=Hippo
Me and Hanon were playing dress up. "Hey, Hanon-san. How do I look?" "Hippo, come here!" Hanon said. She dabbed some concealer. "Nng! Hano~n-sa~n~!" "It's fine, close your eyes." said Hanon, "Just leave it to me." It took a few minutes then I looked in the mirror. She made me look like a total idiot! "HANON-SAN!"
After I took the make up off, we were walking back "It wasn't my fault." said Hanon, The model was no good!" "What!" "If the model was at least decent, I could do it sensibly." Hanon then saw someone. "Hey I got it!" "Who" I noticed Rina. "Rina-san!?" "There she is, my model!" said Hanon. "Why her? Do someone else!" I said.
POV=Rina
I was on the beach. I was lamenting on how my Kingdom got destroyed. Just then, I heard a voice call out "Rina". I turned around. It was Hanon and Hippo! "Rina, you're my ideal model!" said Hanon. "Ideal model?" I said, "What the heck are you talking about?" "Hanon-san wanted to play fashion show model with you." said Hippo. Hanon got mad. "What do you mean, play!? You're so rude, Hippo" Hanon said, "I only wanted to show her the new fashion trends!" "Fashion?" "Yeah! Hippo is totally useless! I cant make any sense out of him!" said Hanon, "But if it was you..." She showed me a dress. "Seriously, pink? You can't possibly be serious." I said, "Sorry, but I've got no time to play with you." I left. I went toa bookstore. I bumped into Hippo. "What are you doing?" I said. "Oh, you again..." said Hippo. "Yeah, there's a bookstore above here that I often go to." I said, "So, why are you here alone?" "Uhh, nothing much." said Hippo, "Rina-san, you're lucky... looking good no matter what you wear." "That's not really true about me." I said, "I don't even like dressing up." "No way... that's such a waste."
We walked outside. We then heard someone say "Hey you!". We looked at him. "Will you be my model?" he asked me. "Model?" I noticed Hippo was grinning. "Sorry for startling you so suddenly." the guy said, "I'm Ishibashi. I'm searching for that cosmetic contest the day after tomorrow. Could you help me?" said Ishibashi. "Ummm" Just then, Hippo barged in "We're honored to accept that!" "Hey! Don't say that on your own!" I said. "Please accept his offer, Book!" He made baby eyes. I couldn't help to give in. "Guess I'll do it, then." "Well then, could you come with me right now?" said Ishibashi. "Right now?" "I'd like to pick out the clothes and such for the contest." said Ishibashi. "That's so sudden." I said. "It's alright, we don't have much time!" said Ishibashi. He took me with him. We wengt to a clothes shop. I tried a white dress. Ishibashi gasped. "Hey Rina-chan," said Ishibashi, "If it's okay with you, wanna go to a restaurant with me?" I looked at him. "I'd like to explain what the contest is about."
So we were at a restaurant. The waiter came up. The two put in their order. The waiter thought I was an adult because he told me the wine menu. "Rina-chan, you look really captivating..." said Ishibashi, "So young yet so composed. When I look into your eyes, It feels like the deep ocean. When I stare into them, I feel like I could be swallowed up. I want you to be closer to this image of mine!" "Well what should I do? What do you want from the model?" I said. "Just leave it all to me." said Ishibashi.
A few minutes later, Ishibashi was decorating my hair. "I'll certainly make you look prettier than before." he said, "Into a contest star!" Ishibashi stopped. "Sorry, Rina-chan. Can I do it again?" he said. "It's okay but..." I said. He looked out of the window. "What's wrong?" I said, "Is it okay without makeup? Isn't it the day after tomorrow?" "Sorry." "Sorry for what?" Ishibashi just stopped. "Truthfully, there's this girl that I can't forget about. And you look just like her." he said, "But... it's wrong! Something's just different!" "Of course that's true." I said, "I'm nobody else. I am just me" Ishibashi just stood there. "Sorry, but I'm not becoming that person of yours." I said. I then left.
POV=Hippo
"Okay." said Hanon, "Why did you sign Rina up for that cosmetics contest when you hate her?" "It's simple!" I said, "They're will be so many people there. I'm pretty sure a water demon attack will happen there so Rina-san will obviously transform. If I turn the lights back on and reveal her true identity..." "She'll turn into bubbles!" said Hanon, "But how do you know she's just gonna reveal herself. Do you have a backup plan?" "No, but i'll figure something out!" I said.
POV=Rina
I was sitting on a cliff. I remembered my kingdom getting destroyed. I realized my mistake. "I guess I'm the only one who thinks about the past." I ran to the cosmetics competition. I saw Ishibashi "R-Rina-chan, why are you here?" said Ishibashi. I blushed. "It's because I committed to being a model." We went entered the hall. The lights turned on. Ishibashi turned to me and started my makeover. Ishibashi noticed something. "To try to forget, and actually forget." I said. Ishibashi gasped. "It's still looming around, isn't it?" I continued, "But that's just your past. If you can't accept it, then you can't move forward." "Rina-chan... Thank you." said Ishibashi, "I may have been weak... I couldn't acknowledge I'd been dumped." "It's okay, as long as you live on." I said, "Everyone has their past." "You have your own beauty." said Ishibashi, "Until now, I didn't realize that. To not realize that... I truly am a fool."Jus then, I heard an evil melody, giving me a headache. "Rina-chan, what's wrong?" said Ishibashi.
POV=Hanon
"The other people don't even care at all!" said Hippo, "Could it be only me?" "This is their doing for sure!" I said. "Hanon-san! Now's our chance!" "Okay!" I turned off the lights. A few seconds later, I heard Rina say "Green Pearl Voice!". I turned on the lights. I was too early. "Hippo! What are you doing" said Rina. "You falsely accused Yuuri-san. I'll never forgive you, even with that love story of yours!" said Hippo. "But she is-" "Save the excuses," I said, "Now Hippo, what do we do?" "I don't know!" "If only if there was a sign..."
Create Item=Cue card{Text="Green Pearl Voice"}
Create Item=Note{Text="Show Rina this and she'll read it\n -AD"}
Just then, a big cue card appeared. The letter written on the back said "Show Rina this and she'll read it" signed "AD" I showed the sign to Rina and sure enough, She read it and transformed to Idol form.
POV=Rina
I can't believe I fell for this! I could feel myself slowly fade to bubbles. "Please Aqua Regina-sama, Goddess of the sea..." I prayed, "Don't let my successor have this fate..." Then everything went black. I was dead.
POV=Eriru
Yes, my plan worked! The lights went off. I took this chance to grab the Green shell locket. The lights turned back on. It was the Mermaid Princesses! "So you've appeared, Mermaid Princesses-chan!" I giggled. Then I turned into battle form. "I've been waiting!" "Bad music sense that hurts mermaids won't be allowed!" said Pink-chan. "Who exactly has bad sense?" I said, "Listen closely to whether it's bad or not!" She turned up her boombox. The Mermaids covered their ears. But then. Pink-chan started singing. "Nanairo no kaze ni fukarete tooi misaki wo mezashiteta" Mizuiro-chan joined in "Yoake mae kikoeta merodi sore wa totemo natsukashi uta!" My boombox broke! "Oh NO!" "Ready Hanon-san?" said Pink-chan. "Ready!" said Mizuri-chan. They both said "Pitchi Pitchi Voice Love start!" I braced my self for the impact.

"Love shower pitch!" "How about an encore?" "Now you done it!" I said, "I didn't think this would happen" I then disappeared off to Gaito-sama.
POV=Hippo
The audience clapped. "I didn't expect this show." said one guy. "They were so cute" said another. The lights turned off. It then went back to the contest. "Rina-chan, did you see the show?" said Ishibashi. But she was gone. He saw the pile of Bubbles. I started to feel bad. We then left. "I feel bad..." I said. "Don't worry," said Hanon, "There's always the next Green Pearl Mermaid Princess." And that's when we realized our mistake. "Oh no! The Pearl is stolen!" I said, "And we need that to summon Aqua Regina!"
POV=Eriru
"Gaito-sama!" I said, "I got the green pearl!" "And the princess?" said Gaito. "Well, funny thing is..." I said, "She got turned into bubbles." "Oh is that so..." said Gaito, "Well you can keep it until further notice" "Thanks Gaito-sama"
Gaster: You did that?
Me: Yes. And it'll be useful later on.
Gaster: So that's what you mean by "The last time [The demons leaving when Rina comes] will happen"
