Part of his World

*DBZ version of the little mermaid*

A/N: Song quote is from Moulin Rouge... "Now that you're in the world."

Chapter 3: A beautiful song

Ryanna swam to the shore as fast as she could and stayed with the human until dawn where she checked to see if he was alive. "Vinny do you think he's dead?" "I wouldn't know. I may be fluent in human things but humans themselves." Suddenly Trunks coughed up some water and began breathing a little more. "Wow, he's alive." "Yeah now that we know that he's okay you better ski-daddle before he wakes up."

But Ryanna didn't move. She was too entranced by the human. "You know Vinny I dreamed once that I lived on land and I remember there was a man in it. Maybe it's him." She began to hum softly to a tune that her mother sang to her when she was just a baby. "And this one's for you. And you can tell everybody that this is your song." Trunks began to stir a bit but remained asleep. "It may be quite simple but now that it's done. I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind, what I put down in words, how wonderful life is now that you're in the world."

Trunks eyes began to flutter open and he looked into a pair of beautiful green eyes. "Hi." Trunks smiled. "Hi" A wave came up from the tide causing Trunks to choke and enough time for Ryanna to slip away. Trunks coughed up some seawater and looked around. "TRUNKS!" He turned around to see Goten, his father, and his mother running up to him.

Goten helped him up. "Man Trunks you really had us worried. We thought you were a goner." Trunks looked around frantically. "Where is she?" Goten cocked an eyebrow. "Where's who?" "The girl, the one who rescued me. She, she sang to me, and what a voice where is she?" Goten looked around and saw nobody. "Okay Trunks I think you've had enough sea air for the rest of the week. Let's get inside."

Ryanna and Vinny watched from a rock. Ryanna smiled. "He's so handsome, and funny, and..." "And I'm gonna gag! Get real honey, you're a mermaid, he's a male human face it, it won't work." Vinny took off and Ryanna continued to gaze at the handsome lavender haired human. "Hope you don't mind, I hope you mind. What I put down in words, how wonderful life is, now you're in the world." Ryanna smiled and headed home.

~Two days later~

"Do you have any idea what's gotten into Ryanna?" "I dunno but whatever it is I'm gonna get it out of her." "Hiya Pan! Hiya Marron, what's up?" Kankton swam up to them and planted a kiss on Pan's lips. "I'm confused doll. Your sister is acting..." Suddenly Ryanna comes dancing down the halls humming.

"Look at his face I love it so dear. Oh hi guys!" Pan cocked an eyebrow. "Okay what has gotten into you?" Ryanna stopped and looked around. "You two follow me. Sorry bro girls only." Ryanna dragged Marron and Pan into her room. "you guys I'm in love!" Pan's eyes popped out of their sockets and Marron gawked at her. "you're kidding?" Ryanna shook her head and giggled. "Well who? Who is the lucky merman." "That's just the thing, it's not a merman, it's a human." "oh okay that explains... A WHAT!" Ryanna winced.

"Okay are you sick or something? I knew you were into humans but this is ridiculous." Ryanna grinned and twirled around. "I'm not kidding just listen to my story." Ryanna began telling them how she went up to the boat and saved the humans life. "And now I can't get him out of my mind. It's so Cool!" "COOL? Ryanna you're in love with a human, this is not cool!" Ryanna rolled her eyes. "Yeah whatever."

"Ryanna sweetie, it's Nana may I come in." Ryanna sighed. "Yes you may come in Nana." The fragile mermaid came in and looked around. "Your bedroom is relatively clean. I very surprised, I'd expect it to be messy and untidy like most of your siblings have it." "Um yeah, is there something you want or need Nana?" "Yes as a matter of fact." "Tomorrow your fiancee is coming. I want you to look your best and be on time unlike you were for my arrival." Ryanna rolled her eyes. "Very well Nana as you wish." Ryanna's grandmother smiled. "That's a good child." With that she left.
