Lulu returned to Zora Hall to hear Mikau and Japas arguing with Evan. For a moment, Lulu panicked, thinking that Evan had let slip her secret. As she moved closer, she heard Evan complaining about a new song written by Mikau and Japas.

"It's ridicules!" Evan yelled.

"It is not!" Japas countered.

"It's inspiring!" Mikau added.

Lulu smothered her silent laughter and walked back to her room. She sighed and walked over to her pond. Carefully laying her eggs in the shallow water she smiled happily and lay down next to them carefully running her fingers over the soft surfaces of the eggs. Outside she could hear Mikau and Japas getting even more heated about their song. She sighed and stood up, walking to the door. Peeking out she watched Mikau finally huff off into the ocean and Japas stormed into his room. Evan stood shaking his head when he caught Lulu's eye and smiled despite himself. She giggled and winked at him before returning to her room.

Well, Mikau won't be back tonight…She laughed to herself. He always stayed the night in the ocean when he got into a fight with Evan. She started walking back to her eggs when she heard Toto talking to Evan. She opened the door and peeked out. She thought she heard her name and walked over to them.

"…I just can't keep putting it off, Evan." Toto was saying when he approached.

Evan sighed and nodded looking up at Lulu.

"I'm sorry, Lulu, but since your voice is still gone, Toto has no choice but to cancel our concert."

Lulu's face fell but she nodded. She wanted to apologize but what could she do with no voice? Toto frowned and patted her back softly.

"I'm sorry, Lulu. We'll make it up some how." He said and wobbled away.

Lulu and Evan exchanged saddened glances before Lulu walked back to her room. She fell asleep to the sounds of Evan's song of surrender and Japas sounds of frustration.

Lulu laughed happily as she watched Mikau chase his children through the water.

"Get back here!" He laughed as his daughter zoomed past him.

"Be careful!" Lulu called with a smile.

Everything seemed so perfect. Lulu was sitting on the dock of the research lab with several children around her while Mikau laughed and played with the others in the ocean. There were no strange creatures out there to scare them, there was no more worries about the show, because her voice had come back; everything was perfect.

Suddenly the sky grew dark. Lulu looked up and watched as the clouds rolled in. She turned back to her children but they were no longer sitting next to her.

"Mikau!" She shouted.

He turned to her in the water and quickly began swimming back when suddenly he was yanked under. Lulu screamed and tried to jump into the water to go after him but something kept her there. Turning around she could see an eerie fog rolling in from the pirates fortress and looming out of the darkness was a large figure, with sails, and it was coming straight for her…

Lulu blinked awake when her vase of sea flowers fell over. She sat up and squinted into the darkness to see three figures quickly snatching at something on the floor. Lulu gasped when she realized the figures were taking her eggs. She jumped up and flew at them, swinging punches wherever she could. She felt something slap hard across her face and she fell backward. Staring up at the figures she suddenly became terrified. One figure stood up and glared at her. Lulu was able to make out short red hair and violent yellow eyes before something hit her from behind.

She woke a few hours later with a sharp pain on the back of her head. She tried to stand but was hit by a wave of dizziness. She sat down with a hand to her head. She groaned and looked around. Her bed was in pieces, most of her furniture was destroyed and…

She gasped and jumped over to the small nest she had constructed. Her eggs were no where to be found. She felt panicked, she felt confused, she felt frightened, but most of all, she felt extremely sad. She ran to the door. Her fingers grasped the handle when she froze.

I can't tell anyone…

She turned and ran back to her bed and froze again.

But I have to, and ran back to the door.

She continued running back and forth, only increasing her dizziness, until she finally fell onto her knees in tears. She cried until her eyes stung from the lack of moisture she had forced on them. She looked around her for something, anything, that could help.

In the corner of her eye, she saw her diary. Desperately she dove at it and began scribbling:

Such a terrible thing has happened today that I don't even know where to begin writing. I heard a sound late at night, and when I opened my eyes, I saw strangers in my room. I tried to fight, but they were able to steal my precious eggs. It seems I lost consciousness after that.

She carefully laid her pen down and breathed deeply. She sighed and stood. Now it was time. Now she had to tell Mikau.

Okay, Chapter three is finally done. I promise I'll get Chapter four out soon.
