Episode 17: A Possessed Kiss
POV=Yuuri
"Test of Fear?" I said. "Yeah! Doesn't it sound fun?" said Emi. "That sounds good! Let's do that!" said Yoshino. "The Test of Fear is kinda scary." said Daichi. "Let's do it! It sound's fun!" said Kengo. They say a ghost lives there." said Yoshino. "No... What if a real ghost was there?" said Kengo. I heard Hippo. I turned around. He was with Hanon. "Hey! What are you doing here?" I said. "Hanon-san wanted to go and see if the rumour about the ghost is really true." said Hippo. "What? You too?" I said. "You too?" said Hippo, "Does that mean you're planning to go, too?" "Yeah. Yoshino and her friends wanted me to take the Test of Fear." I said, "I'm not interested in ghosts and stuff, though." "Hn? Test of Fear?" questioned Hippo. "Are you gonna do it?" said Hippo. "Oh? Are you gonna do it?" "Yeah, probably." "Yeah! I'll do it too!" "That's right. The more boys the better." said Yoshino. "Yeah, since the Test of Fear isn't fun without boys, huh?" said Ari. "Heh, what should I do?" said Hanon, "It's kinda scary, but it's also interesting so..." "Yeah! It's decided!" said Yoshino and Ari. Daichi tackled me. "Yuuri-chan! Please pair up with me!" he said. Well, since he wanted to... "Alright, but don't cling to me so much!" I said. "Yay! it's decided!" said Daichi. "It can't be helped" I said. I looked at Hippo. "So, Hippo. Who are you pairing up with?" I said. "I'm not gonna go." said Hippo. "You said just now that you would go." I said. "I'm not gonna go at all!" said Hanon. "Hippo? Are you really alright with this?" said Hanon. "It's alright, since the Test of Fear is so childish and stupid." said Hippo. "Then you should've declined in the first place." I said. "I thought it was a little interesting, but nevermind." said Hippo, "Let's go, Hanon-san" He left. "Hippo?" said Hanon, "Jeez. Acting so stubborn." She ran after him. "Did we say something wrong?" said Yoshino. "Who knows?" said Kengo. "Yuuri-chan!" said Daichi, "In the Test of Fear, be sure to protect me all the time, alright?" "Alright." I said. I looked towards the direction Hippo was heading. "What's with him?" I thought.
POV=Hippo
I was staring out of the window. "Why did I say that?" I thought. I remembered how Yuuri agreed for Daichi to be her partner. "That's right. It's his fault for not asking me to pair up with him." Hanon and Nikora came up. "Wait, Hippo, are you sure it's alright?" said Hanon. "What's alright?" I said. "You know, the Test of Fear is like going "Ahh! It's so scary!" and hugging the guy." said Hanon. "That's right, Hippo." said Nikora, "In the Test of Fear, you can be like this, "Hold my hand and don't let go!" while holding his hand tightly! That's too good a chance to pass by." "Holding his right arm while entering the mansion sounds so exciting!~" said Hanon. "Yet it fills the air with more excitement!~" said Nikora. "Oh, noiu! Thinking aboiut stuff like that! Nikoira-san is a pervert!" sang Hanon. "Umm... Nikora-san? You seem to have changed a little" I said. "Hippo, we might still make it." said Hanon.
POV=Hanon
So we were at the Haunted House. "I guess Yuuri-san and her friends still aren't here." said Hippo. "When you think about it, not that many people take the Test of Fear at a haunted house." said Hanon. "I see." said Hippo. "Well, if we just wait here, they might actually come." I said. "It's a creepy looking building." said Hippo. "I know. Since we still need to wait a little, why don't we go in first?" I said. So we went inside. "Hmm... This place gives me a creepy feeling..." I said. "Let's go back now, Hanon-san." said Hippo. "What do you mean, Hippo? Are you scared?" I said, "It's alright. There's nothing as absurd as ghosts. Anyways, isn't it best to always be prepared for the crucial moment ahead?" "What crucial moment?!" cried Hippo. I saw something. "I found it!" I said, "Lookie, lookie! The forever locked room. Now the atmosphere is perfect!" "Locked room?" questioned Hippo, "What happens if it's opened?" "How dumb." I said, "It's locked. That's why it's the locked room." Hippo touched the lock. It fell off. "well, i guess these kinds of things happen." I said. We opened the door. The room was empty. "It seems to be a study room." said Hippo. "It looks so grimy." I said. Hippo noticed a letter. "A letter?" he questioned. He picked it up and read it. "Just once more, I would like to touch your lips again but do you not care for me anymore?" "What is that?" I said, "It seems to be a part of a sad love story." "I wonder if this letter has something do with the ghost rumoured to exist here." said Hippo. We stared at the letter when the door opened. We turned around. OHMYAQUA! IT'S A GHOST!
POV=Hippo
We were at a cottage near the haunted house. "Sorry for entering without asking." we said. "Don't worry. I'm sorry for surprising you." said the old lady who lives in that cottage. "No, We got curious about the story of this house so we're glad to have run into its owner" said Hanon. "Actually, I thought my heart would stop beating from being surprised like that." I said. "You know, that house has a very sad love story about it. I believe that I might be the only one who knows what happened." said Obaa-san. "What is the story about?" I said. The old lady began to explain. "In that house lived a beautiful maiden. She had a nice lover, but their parents opposed their marriage. So they dated in a small boat under the cliff near the house." "That's so romantic..." said Hanon. Obaa-san continued. "But soon, the maiden was cast into an arranged marriage by her parents. They were troubled once they knew. So he left and wished her happiness. Still, the maiden waited and waited in the boat day after day. Yet he still didn't come, which saddened the girl and heft her crying. The letter that you guys read was written before she disappeared." "Before she disappeared..." I said. The old woman continued, "On a stormy night, while she was writing her letter, she looked out her window, and saw someone on the shallows. She ran to the waters where the boat was, and left her letter behind. However, her feet slipped and she drowned beneath the waves. Soon after, the room where she left the letter was believed to be haunted by the ghost of the maiden. She was sealed in that room" "Even in death, she still waits for him to return to her, huh?" I said. "What a sad story." said Hanon.
POV=Yuuri
Me and Daichi and the others were outside the haunted house. "Alright, the first pair to go in is Yuuri and Daichi-kun." said Yoshino. "Alright, let's go!" I said. "Yuuri-chan, please don't separate from me." said Daichi. "Sure." I said. We went inside. "Yuuri, even if a ghost appears, don't come back, alright?" said Braelyn. "That's not gonna happen." said Yuuri. In the haunted house, "Yuuri-chan, what should we do? I'm scared." said Daichi. "What? You're scared even just like this?" I said. "But, it's really scary." said Daichi, "Don't ever let me go, alright?" "Alright." I said. "Thank you! Yuuri-chan is so sweet!" said Daichi. We continued walking. "Yuuri-chan, the hallway is scary!" Daichi said. I opened the door at the end of the hallway. "Yuuri-chan, it's kind of scary here." said Daichi. "It's just a study room." I said. "But it's still scary." said Daichi. Just then, I heard someone play my song on the piano. Books started shooting out of the bookshelves and started to float in the air. Daichi screamed. "N-No way!" I said.
POV=Eriru
I was playing the piano in the attic. "Speaking of the Test of Fear... A special event or gathering..." I said, "This would surely lure those Pearls." I laughed. "But playing this all night is making me tired." I said, "This is tiring, but I must be ready, because this might be one of the Pearl now!" I realized the last time I played this song, I didn't play it well and now, even without the other Dark Lovers, It was distorted. "Huh? How weird. I cannot control this well." I said, "I wonder if it is broken. OMG, this won't do." I stopped. "I'm done." I said, "I'll just see what is happening." Just then, he heard someone say "Where are you going?". "It's obvious that I'm gonna capture that girl." I said, "Huh? Who are you?" It was the Pearls! "Pink Pearl Voice!" "Mizuiro Pearl Voice!" "I won't lose to you!" I said. "Green Pearl Voice!" "Oh no" said Mizuiro-chan. "Oh, yeah!" I said. "Dark Pichi Pichi Live Spin!"

"Demon Spin Pitch!" I fainted.
POV=Yuuri
I ran up to the attic. The guardian prince, and the two other princesses were there. They woke up. "Why do you keep on getting into this mess?" I said. "I only came here to fix the timeline!" said the Green Pearl. Me, the guardian and Aquamarine-chan looked at her. "Whatever." said the Green Pearl. She disappeared. the other two pearls ran off. I went back down when I saw Hippo. "Yuuri-san." he said. "Hippo. You came?" I said. "Yeah, I was worried about you, so..." he said. "Umm... Yuuri-san..." he spoke up. "What is it?" I said. "Sorry about before." said Hippo, "You had invited me nicely, but I became stubborn, so..." "What? It's about that?" I said, "Don't worry about it." The desk started shaking. "Why? Eriru isn't here anymore" said Hippo. "Eriru?" "Wha? It's nothing. I was wondering if that's a ghost." said Hippo. "A ghost?" I questioned.
POV=Hippo
I told her a story about a maiden who lived here. "Anyways, that's what happened here a long time ago." I said. "Oh? So that's what happened." said Yuuri. "I understand, because even a ghost can feel love for someone." I said. "Just like me, when I always wanted to meet Yuuri-san." I thought. The ghost appeared. "Yuuri-san, do you see it too?" I said. "Yeah." said Yuuri. She saw the letter. "A letter?" said Yuuri. "I guess he really wanted to give that letter to him." I said, "It would be nice if we could give it to him." "That's impossible." said Yuuri. "But..."by. The ghost disappeared, leaving the letter. "First of all, we don't even know where that guy is." said Yuuri, "It's impossible." I picked up the letter. "That boat..." said I, "Let's go to where that boat was." "Where the boat was?" said Yuuri.
POV=Yuuri
So we went to where the boat was. "This is where they always dated." said Hippo. We saw a light. It was the man in the boat. "It's a boat." I said. "The guy's ghost? Why is he there?" said Hippo, "Maybe... He heard that she fell in the ocean, so he came to search for her. He couldn't forget about her." "That means.." I said, "He was searching for her all along." "I'll see if I can give the letter to him." said Hippo. He walked to the shore until he reached the edge of the water. "I can't. I can't get closer to him." He said. "Give it to me." I said. I grabbed the letter. "Yuuri-san?" said Hippo.
POV=Hippo
Yuuri jumped into the water. "Yuuri-san!" Yuuri swam to the boat. The ghost picked up the letter. Suddenly, the ghost girl appeared next to me. I looked at them. "What's wrong?" said Yuuri. "Those two have finally met each other." I said. "Yeah, it seems that way." Yuuri said.
POV=Yuuri
The two ghosts went towards us. "Thank you." said Ghost Girl. "Because of you, we finally had the chance to meet again." said Ghost Boy. "Thank goodness." said Hippo. "To be able to meet again with the person you like." said me.
POV=Hippo
"We are really grateful for what you did" said Ghost Girl, "However, we have another request." "Request?" I said. "Just once more, I would like to be able to touch..." said Ghost Boy.

The ghosts inspirited both of them. "What's this?" thought Hippo, "Did the ghost take control of my body. It's a weird feeling. My body won't listen to me at all" "What's going on? She's inspirited me. My body's moving against Yuuri's will" thought Yuuri. "No, it's their souls. Yuuri-san, what are you thinking?" thought Hio. Ghost Girl/Yuuri grabbed Ghost Boy/Hippo. "Wait... That is..." thought Hippo. "Hippo is looking upon me" thought Yuuri Ghost Boy/Hippo and Ghost Girl/Yuuri kissed. The ghosts disappeared leaving only Hippo and Yuuri.
Corruption=Fixed
Me: I'm glad that's over
Gaster: So why did you break out into third person
Me: A) The ghosts and B) I just want to see what both of them are thinking
Episode 18: A not so innocent visitor
POV=Hanon
I was in Hippo's room. "Summer vacation is so boring." I said, "Since school's out, I can't even see Tarou-chan." "Calm down, Hanon-san. If you're bored, then go home and do your summer homework." said Hippo. "I don't need to, I'm gonna copy your work" I said. "Jeez…" said Hippo. "I'm bored! I'm bored! I'm bored! I'm bored!" I overheard Hippo say, "Oh dear. Your selfishness is so annoying it makes me want to cry." He sighed. "Hanon-san, do you want to try Mermaid Uranai?" "Mermaid Uranai?" I said, "Sure! Let's do it!" Hippo placed the deck of cards down. "First, I'll read your future." said Hippo. He thought about what I'm feeling and shuffled the cards. "Mermaid Uranai is right way more often than Madame Taki's" said Hanon. "And you line up four cards." Said Hippo, as he did so. He pointed to the one above the center. "The one above the middle is your future." He turned it over. "Wow! That's the Asteri Card!" said Hippo. "I think Asteri means star, right?" I said. "Yes, the card of the star which lights the night sky, signifies a fateful meeting in life." Said Hippo, "It may be someone new, or it may be an unexpected reunion. But there's no way you would take such a prediction seri-" "It's soiu oiubvious to me!" I sang, "You definitely mean the reoiunion of Taroiu-chan and moiself!" "Except she totally believes it." I said. Just then, we heard someone at the front door. "Who's that?" I said. "Maybe a new vistor?" said Hippo. We went to the front door to see a girl. "Hanon-sama." She said. "Meru!" Meru is a mermaid from my kingdom.
That night, we prepared a party for Meru. "Welcome to the Pearl Piari!" I walked up to Meru. "Hanon-sama." Said Meru. "We are pleased that you have come to us from such distant seas." said Bubble, "I offer my thanks to you as the Mermaid Princess of the South Atlantic." "Princess… Hanon-sama!" said Meru. "Meru-chan, you must be hungry from your trip." Said Nikora, "Eat as much as you like." "Go ahead. Eat up." Said Hippo, "My sister Nikora's cooking is super delicious!" "Sister?" questioned Oxys. She doesn't really understand the concept of sisters very well. "In the human world, it's been arranged so that they're sisters." I Said. "And Taki-san there is the Pearl Oyster Fairy, the mini hotel Pearl Piari's owner and the resident fortune teller." Said Hippo, "And I'm Hippo, the Guardian Prince of the North Pacific. Pleased to meet you!" "They're all important people who help me out." I said, "So Meru, feel comfortable." "The Pink and Mizuiro Elemental Object Princesses are all here with me!" said Meru, "I'm so excited!"
Later that night, Meru was sleeping in my bed. "Sleeping in the same bed with you, Hanon-sama." she said, "It's like a dream come true." "Really?" I said. "Yeah!" said Meru, "And I'm really happy that you're safe and sound." "I'm glad you're safe too. I was really worried." I said, "Were the others with you, too?" "No… After the South Atlantic Palace was attacked and we sent you to safety…" said Meru, "That was the last time I saw my mommy and the others…"
(Flashback)
(The Mizuiro Mermaids were running away from the just attacked castle)
(Meru turned around)
Meru: Mommy!
(Meru's mother comes up)
Meru: Mommy, you took so long. I was worried.
(Meru's Mother gives her a package)
Meru's Mother: This is the Morning Moon. I didn't want to leave it for her.
Meru: Morning Moon?
(A water dragon attacked them)
Meru's Mother: Meru, take this. You must give it to Hanon-sama. Now, go!
Meru: Mommy?
(Meru's Mother left as the dragon followed her)
Meru: Mommy? Mommy!
(Flashback end)
"I had no idea." I said. "After that, I got separated from everyone else." said Meru, "Now, who knows where they are." Meru reached for something under the sheets. "But look, Hanon-sama." said Meru, "This is what my mommy told me to give to you before she disappeared." She opened the package. "That's the treasure passed down by the Mizuiro Mermaids." I said, "The Morning Moon Music Box." "Hanon-sama, please. Find my mommy…" said Meru, "Find the scattered Mizuiro Mermaids." "I will, Meru. Leave everything to me." I said. "H-Hanon-sama." Said Meru.
POV=Gaito
I was walking across the beach. I heard a tune. I walked over to it. It was a young Mizuiro Mermaid playing a flute. "Why are you here?" I said. "I thought Princess Hanon-sama was looking for the Mizuiro Mermaids but..." she said. I turned to where the girl was pointing. A blue haired girl I sort of recognised as the Mizuiro Pearl Mermaid Princess flirting with a human. "I see." I said, "Your Princess forgot about the Mizuiro Mermaids." The girl nodded. She reminded me of Yuuri-san. "What's your name?" I said. "Meru" "Tell you this. How would you like to join a team of Water Demons?" I said. Meru looked reluctant, but gave in. I granted her the powers of a water demon. Psychic powers.
POV=Hanon
I was on the boulder. I jumped into the water and turned into a mermaid. "That was surprising. To be embraced so passionately by Tarou-chan all of a sudden!" I said, "Kya! My heart is still pounding!" A seal appeared. The seal talked to me. "Okay, thanks." I said, "If you find out anything more, let me know." I then saw a flock of seagulls. "I'm counting on all of you too!" I said. "The South Atlantic is so far, but I'll surely find you" I said, "so wait for me. Okay, you guys?" I as almost about to cry when she heard Meru say, "Hanon-sama.". "Meru! Let's go somewhere after we eat breakfast." I said, "The human world has a ton of fun places to go." Meru slapped my hand away. "Meru?" "I don't... want to go." said Meru, "Hanon-sama, living in this joyous human world, you've forgotten all about the Mermaid Kingdom, haven't you." "What happened Meru?" I said. "You've got a crush, and Princess friends, You must be bursting with joy. That's why you lost interest in searching for our people." said Meru, "I can't believe I expected anything from such an irresponsible person." "I haven't forgotten about our kingdom's people for even one day." I said, "I'm sure we'll find your mommy too." "What a lie!" said Meru. She plated a flute. I got trapped in a cage thing. "How does it feel to be betrayed by a friend." said Meru. I heard Hippo. "Pink Pearl Voice!"

"Why isn't it working" said Hippo. "The water demon that attack me is Meru!" I said. "What!" said Hippo. I got an Idea. "Is Yuuri around?" I said. Hippo got the idea. He called Yuuri. "You wouldn't believe me if I just told you but there's a water demon and she's a mermaid" said Hippo. Yuuri came with her Piano. "Cover your ears, Aqua!" said Yuuri. "Are you talking to me?" I said. I covered my ears anyway. She played the song. Hippo started singing in tune.

POV=Yuuri
We looked at the dark pearl and Aqua. "Well, I guess to defeat dark light, you need darkness" I said. The Guardian looked at me, confused. "Yeah, I don't really get it either." I said.
POV=Eriru
Gaito-sama came back with a girl. She was a mermaid. "So you finally captured a mermaid." I said. "She's on our side" said Gaito, "Kind of like your pearl." "Yeah" I said.
Episode 19: Summer Randomness
POV=Hippo
I was lost. There was a rock concert that I watched with Yuuri and the others but I got lost somehow. "Where did everyone go?" I said, "Don't tell me they went home without me." I saw someone use their phone. "Oh yeah. I'll call them with my cell!" I said. Dang it, I left it at home! "It's gone, it's gone, it's gone! Why now of all times?" I panicked. I felt my wallet. "What a relief. I can make a call." I said. Double dang it, Hanon had all the return tickets so I spent it all without thinking. Just then, a lady came up to me. "What's with the long face." she said, "Were you dumped by your girlfriend?" "No!" I said. "Well, you can't be lost in a place like this." said the lady. I glared at her. "No way. I'm right." "Just who are you?" "I'm not a bad person." "I'm fine, so please leave me alone." "But you don't seem fine at all." "Just go away!" "I'm the type who can't ignore someone in need." "I don't need anything." "Anyone can see that you need help. Come with me." "Come with you where?" "You're hungry aren't you?" "I'm not even hun-" At that precise moment, my stomach rumbled. Awkward silence...
POV=Hanon
We were looking for Hippo. "Where did she go off to by herself?" I said, "Hippo has absolutely no sense of direction." "Okay, let's split up and look for him." said Yuuri. "Good Idea" I said, "Okay, I'll go north, Yuuri will be South, Emi will go east and Yoshino will go west." "Got it!" said Emi, Yoshino and Yuuri.
POV=Hippo
At a fast food store, I was eating a burger. "Is it good?" said the lady. "You really want to treat me?" I said. "Sure. In exchange, hang out with me for a while." said the lady. "Hang out?" "I'll take you to somewhere fun." said the lady. I sighed. "What's wrong?" said the lady. "The others might be worried about me." I said. "The people you were with?" said the lady. I nodded verbally. "In that case, I'll lend you my phone." said the lady, "Then you could contact them and it'll be okay." "Yeah! Gimme, gimme!" I said. So she gave me her phone. "This is great. I was in a jam 'cause I forgot mine." I said. Triple dang it, I forgot everyone's phone number. "What's wrong?" said the lady. "I put their numbers in memory, and I can't remember them without my phone." I said. She laughed. "Oh my gosh! That's mean! This isn't funny!" I said, "What'll I do?" "In that case, use that" said the lady, pointing to a message board. "Message board?" "If you post a message there, they'll be able to find it. Everyone around here uses it." "I see. It should be okay, then!"
Then we were at a dart bar. "So that game is called "Darts"?" I said, "I've never seen it before." "Try it" "I throw these?" I said, talking about the darts. "Throw them at the dartboard." said the lady, "The points will appear on the monitor." I aimed and threw the dart at the board. It didn't stick. I tried again. Nope. I threw it hard but it bounced off back at me. Everyone laughed. "I can't do it..." I said. The lady gave her another dart. "You can't just use power." she said, "You hold it like this." She folded my hand into the dart throwing shape. "Hold on." "Hold it in line with your eye, aim directly for the board and quietly throw." The lady said as he did so. The dart hit the middle. 50 points "Got it?" said the lady. "Wow! Amazing!" I said.
POV=Eriru
I was standing in front of a restaurant with a mermaid sign. "A Mermaid? Mermaids here?" I said, "No way. Not in a place like this!" I left but I heard someone. "Hey you! Are you looking for work?" he said. I turned around. "Me?" I said. "Come on in. I have the perfect job for you." said the guy I suppose was the manager of the place. "Wow. He's pretty good-looking!" I thought, "He reminds me of Gaito-sama" I walk in the bar.
POV=Hippo
Me and that lady were walking somewhere. "Where are we going now?" I said. "Somewhere even more fun." said the lady. She turned around. "Oh, wait! We forgot to write where we're going at that last place." she said, "Wait here for a minute." She ran off to the darts bar. "Stay right there!" she said. Just then, some girls came up and said "Are you alone?". I turned around. Oh, great. It's the fangirls. "Why don't you come have fun with us." said one of the girls. I said,"Uh... Err... I'm..." "Don't worry. Let's go have some fun." said another fangirl. The lady I was with a minute ago thankfully came up and said, "Sorry, girls. He's with me. Lay off the sweet talk." "You're with a girl?" said one of the fangirls, "Say that ahead of time" "Is everyone here like you?" I said. "Hey now, don't compare guys like that to me." said the lady. "But..." "Say, what's your name?" said the lady. I stopped. "Hippo. Hippo Nanami" I said. "I'm Ayaka. Nice to meet you" said Ayaka, "Shall we go, then." "Wait! Where are we going?" I said. "Where you'll have more fun." said Ayaka. "Where I'll have more fun." I questioned.
Later, I was trying to get a stuffed penguin from a claw machine. "Ugh! Not again!" I said. Ayaka laughed. "Here. Hake sure yo get it this time." said Ayaka. "Ten tries, ten is impossible." I said. "In that case, want me to get it?" said Ayaka. "Can you?" I said. "Which one do you want?" said Ayaka. "That one. The stuffed penguin" "Alright, leave it to me!" said Ayaka. Success! "You did it!" I said, "Oh my gosh! It looks just like me!" "What was that?" said Ayaka. "Nothing!" I said, realizing my mistake. We tried a few more arcade games. "Okay. Now we can go to the next place" said Ayaka, after writing something on the message board. "I wonder if they'll really find us." I said. "It'll be fine. Don't worry." said Ayaka. "You're right. Where are we going next?" I said. "Actually, before that, I have something to take care of." said Ayaka.
We were at a basketball court. I watched as Ayaka played basketball. Ayaka made a shot. "Yay!" I cheered. Three guys appeared. "Quick buck again, huh?" said one guy. "Try it against us!" said another. "Ah, they've come!" said Ayaka. The four made a deal. "We've decided. It'll be 3 on 2" said Ayaka. "'on 2'?" I said, "You can't mean," "Yeah!" said Ayaka. "No way! I don't know how!" I said. "His family runs a Karaoke place." said Ayaka, "If we win, we get to sing all we want for two hours" "You just have to stand around in the middle." "Aw, seriously?" So they got ready. "Play to ten. Whoever gets ten points first wins." said Ayaka. And start! I cheered as Ayaka shot. At 9 all, Ayaka tried to shoot but someone blocked it. I caught the ball... wait... I CAUGHT THE BALL! "Shoot it, Hippo!" said Ayaka. I shot it but it hit the backboard. Luckily, Ayaka was able to dunk it. "Victory!" said Ayaka. She ran over to me. "Hippo, that was a great pass!" She hugged me. She laughed.
At the karaoke place, I was singing a song called Daiji na Takarabako. "Man, you're good." said Ayaka. "You sing one too, Ayaka-san." I said. Ayaka changed the song. "There. I put in your favourite song." she said. "What? Me again?" I said, "Sigh, Next time, you sing for sure." "Alright, alright." said Ayaka. I began singing Jennifer's song. "It's strange..." I thought, "When Yuuri-san's watching, I get all shaky and can't sing right. But with Ryo, I can sing just fine"
Later, I was looking at the city on a staircase. Ayaka gave me something to drink. "Hey, Ayaka-san. This place is pretty fun." I said. "Isn't it?" said Ayalka. "I should bring the others next time." I said. "But if you take one wrong turn, it gets truly scary." "Really?" "Want me to take you to where it's scary?" "You don't mean... ghosts?" "There might be." I got scared. "Heh, You really believed that?" said Ayaka. "Why you!" I said. Ayaka drank the drink. "Hey." I said. "What?" "Why did you want me to hang out with you?" "You seemed lonely by yourself." said Ayaka, "I seriously thought you got dumped by your boyfriend." "And you wanted to cheer me up?" I said. "Yeah, that's about right." said Ayaka, "Plus, I wasn't busy." She turned to me. "You did get dumped, didn't you?" "I told you, no!" I said. "Don't pretend" "I have one." I said, "I have a girlfriend." "I have one... although he doesn't know it" "I got it. That's what's they call one-sided love." said Ayaka. "It is one-sided, but it's not only one sided." I said. "What does that mean?" said Ayaka. "It's two-sided, but it's not on both sides." I said. "You're funny." said Ayaka. "It's true though." I said. "Was that girlfriend with you at the event?" said Ayaka. "Yeah..." I said. "Right now, she's probably worried out of her mind looking for you." said Ayaka. "Yeah" I verbally nodded. "Or maybe she's seducing some hottie on a street corner." said Ayaka. "That couldn't be. Yuuri-san would never do that." I said. "Yuuri?" said Ayaka, "It'll be nice if he found you." "Yuuri-san will find me, no matter what!" I said, "I believe in him." Ayaka stared at me. "I see"
POV=Hanon
I was looking for Hippo. I saw someone. It was Eriru showing flyers for some bistro. "Welcome! Welcome! Especially Mermaid Princesses! Welcome!" "Puffball!" I said, "Why is she dressed like a mermaid?" I gasped. "She might've captured Hippo!" I said. I continued watching Eriru. "Hey baby, wanna have some fun?" she said. "I haven't seen a single Pearl Princess." said Eriru. Then cats attacked her. "Shoo Shoo! Go away! I'm not a fish!" A cat pounced on her. She ran off. I followed her. She dived into the water. I followed her. I caught up with Eriru. "Hah!" I said. "Hey! A Princess really did show up." said Eriru, "I really am am lucky" "Where's the Pink Pearl Guardian Prince" I said. "What? Pink-chan's here too? Where? Where?" said Eriru. "You mean you don't have her?" I said. "No, Why? What are you three talking about?" I said. "I was wrong." I said. I left. "Sorry to bother you." I said. "Hey! Where are you going without fighting me?" said Eriru. "Sorry, but I'm busy." I said, "I'll play with you next time." "Don't mess with me!" shouted Eriru. She changed into Battle forme. "You're not getting away that easy!" She chased after me. "You're gonna chase us while wearing that." I said. "Mizuiro Pearl Voice!" "Two can played that game!" said Eriru. "Green Pearl Voice!"

I felt my key pendant shine. "Wait here, Ayaka-san!" I said. "Okay." said Ayaka. I followed where the light was taking me. It was Hanon and Eriru! "Hippo! Where were you!" said Hanon. "Long story and Eriru-san, why did you stop in the middle of your song?" I said. "You two are talking so I had to wait." said Eriru. "Pink Pearl Voice!" "Pichi Pichi Voice Live Start!"

"Love Shower Pitch!" "You win this time!" said Eriru. She disappeared. "How about an encore!"
I hurried back to the staircase where Ayaka was. "Sorry" I said. "Who's that?" said Ayaka, pointing to Hanon, "Is that Yuuri?" "Did you just mistake me for Yuuri?" said Hanon, "I'm Hanon!" "So what now?" said Ayaka. "Hey" I said, "Do you have a boyfriend?" "Me?" said Ayaka. "Yeah" "Right now, probably you." said Ayaka. I gasped. "Not! Just kidding!" said Ayaka. "Gosh! You scared me!" I said. "But even if you were kidding, I wish I could say it straight out like that." I said, "I want to say it too." "Then just do it!" said Ayaka, "If you're scared all the time, you can't do anything." "Yeah, Hippo, she's right" said Hanon. I didn't budge. "In the meantime, someone will steal him." said Ayaka, "He might feel-" "You don't know anything." I said. "If you want, you can practice on me." said Ayaka, "I'll play the part of the girl you want to talk to. Think of it as practice and open yourself up" "Practice, huh?" I said, "Maybe I can say it if it's just practice." "I want to try!" I imagined Ayaka as Yuuri. "I want to confess to Yuuri-san." "Yuuri-san" said Ruby, "You know, I... actually... I haven't told anyone until now, but I..." Just then, Yuuri appeared out of nowhere. "Don't touch Hippo-sama!" she said. "Yuuri-san!" I said. "So you're Yuuri." said Ayaka. "Yeah. And you're Ayaka?" said Yuuri. "That's right." said Ayaka, "I envy you. Hippo's been waiting for you for a long time. He believes you'd come get him." "He's a good boy. Take care of him." said Ayaka, "I'd like to find a nice boy like him." She left. "Yuuri-san!" I said. "You dummy! You make us worry our heads off, while you played darts, video games, basketball, and sang Karaoke." said Yuuri, "What were you thinking." "I'm sorry." I said, "But Yuuri-san, Just now, you called me Hippo-sama!" Yuuri blushed. "I didn't think she'd lay off unless I said something like that!" said Yuuri, "You don't have to get all serious, dummy." "Oh, that's why. I was surprised." I said. "But it made me happy." I thought, "Even if it wasn't true, it made me happy. " "Come on. Stop talking and let's go." said Yuuri, "Everyone's probably worried." "Okay!" "You know, Ayaka almost thought I was you" said Hanon. "Weird"
