Chapter 2........

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

She sang quietly to him as his face grew into a small smile. She smiled along with him. The man opened his eyes, Rinoa's smile grew wider and she began to sing louder. 'His eyes are open!' she thought happily, 'oh no, his eyes are open!' she thought worrying. A bark was heard to her left, she looked and found a big hairy slobbery dog racing towards her and the man.

"Prince Squall!" someone called who was following the dog. Rinoa's smile disappeared and a frown came in it's place to the fact she had to go back into the water. Rinoa dove back into the water and swam to the tallest and closest rock again.

"Are you still here?" a small voice asked behind her. She turned to see who the voice was, it was none other than Angelo. "Were you just staring at him this whole time?" Angelo asked.

"No," Rinoa replied, "I sang to him." she said as a small smile grew on her face.

"What are we going to do with you Rinoa?" Angelo asked with a disappointed tone in his voice.

"I saw her, she was just singing to me." Squall said to his butler.

"Oh my," his butler began, "I think Squall has swallowed a bit to much sea water."

"Oh come on," Squall began, "you've never had a girl sing to you to help you sleep, Zell?" Squall asked as his knees collapsed beneath him.

"Oh gosh." Zell said rolling his eyes. He pulled one of Squall's arms around him and lead him the way back to the castle. Now Rinoa was on the top of the rock, humming to herself her favorite song, Eyes on Me.

"Ok," Angelo began as he seemingly paced the water, "we won't tell anyone about this, agreed?" Angelo said.

"I'm going to see him again, I don't care how, I just need to." Rinoa told Angelo not caring what he had to say.............

-----------------------------------------------------------

"I found something." Rinoa said happily as she picked up a fork.

"What is it." Angelo asked as he gawked at it.

"I don't know, but I bet Selphie will know!" Rinoa said with excitement as she shoved it into her bag.

"What is your sudden interest in human items?" Angelo asked as he looked at her bag and then back to Rinoa.

"I guess it was when I saw that man, I want to learn more about them." Rinoa told him as she placed the bag over her shoulder and she swam forward.

"Now where are we heading?" Angelo asked as he followed her.

"I found something neat that will aid us both." She told him as she swam out of the small port hole that was in the sunken ship. Rinoa easily passed through but Angelo had a bit of trouble.

"I think I need some help." Angelo weakly called out as his mid was stuck in the port hole and his upper body frantically tried to get out of the mess.

"What are we going to with you?" Rinoa asked as she swam back and grabbed Angelo's fins and pulled hard. He popped out. He groaned loudly as he swam beside Rinoa. "Well, now were off to see Selphie!" Rinoa told Angelo as they began to swim faster.......

--------------------------------------------------------------

"Da dum, doo doo." Selphie sang as she fiddled with a pipe she had found. Her small crab claws desperatly tried to pick it up as they poked and prodded it.

"HEY!" Rinoa called to her. Selphie quickly scuddled over to her telescope which was carefully mounted so she wouldn't have to lift it.

"Mermaid off the port bow!" Selphie screamed. Rinoa was far away, in her eyes, or at least through the telescopes.

"Come over here so I can see you!" Selphie screamed as she waved her claw in the air. Rinoa tossed the telescope out of the way, she was right in front of Selphie the entire time. Rinoa gave Selphie a questionable look as with Angelo.

"Look what we found Selphie!" Rinoa exclaimed as she poured the contents of her bag out across the rock. Selphie quickly scuttled to the object. She looked at the object and placed her claws behind her shell and began to circle the object. She steadily garbbed it with both claws as if it was no big deal. But here eyes suddenly widened.

"I haven't seen this in years!" Selphie exclaimed as she placed it back on the ground.

"What, what is it?" Rinoa asked excitedly as she leaned forward so her chest was now completely out of the water and over the fork.

"It's a dingle hopper." Selphie said as she leaned forward as best she could. "See, humans have this need to always look perfect, so they made this." Selphie said as she picked it up. "You just twirl it like this." Selphie told them as she plunged the fork into Rinoa's hair and began to comb it. "and then you stroke up and down it." Selphie told them as she took the fork out of Rinoa's hair.

"oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" both Rinoa and Angelo admired as they looked at each other.

"But what is your sudden fascination with the human world?" Selphie asked as she moved closer to Rinoa and Angelo.

"She's in love!" Angelo blurted out.

"Angelo!" Rinoa scolded.

"That's nice, but was does that have to do with this whole human fascination?" Selphie asked again, sounding more frustrated this time.

"With a human." Angelo added.

"ANGELO!" Rinoa yelled.

"I have to see this man, that would and will be fun." Selphie said with a small giggle.

"I'll show you him tomorrow." Rinoa told Selphie as she shoved the 'dingle hopper' back into her bag. She slung the bag over her shoulder and swam off. "Thanks Selphie!" Rinoa called back.

"Anytime, sweety." Selphie yelled back as she waved her small claw in the air. "anytime!" she continued......
