14th Episode is out. The prompt is requested by someone on reddit. I can't remember. The prompt is "Never give up". Coincidentally, Nagisa follows that philosophy and his name starts with N. I'll just say if a lowercase n appears in the CSC (Current singer code), it means Nagisa is singing. Hopefully, you can guess what is going to happen. Also, I'm basing my writing not on time constraint, but space constraint, text space that is. document/d/11nABgq90rhnUjg-sqgbrt7IhDgllMcxTCglTA6M4f9Y/edit. Pichi Pichi Voice Live Start!


(Xuffie places down the X Crystal, ready to start the recap. An interface shone out of it)

Xuffie: Xuffie's log. Week 13. Apparently, the final pearl is Aqua Regina. How crazy is that! And Kiha decided to marry Lanhua. Huh. Nagisa met Hanon in her idol forme also. How troublesome. We still need to get all 26 pearls, even though Aqua Regina has the power of two pearls, Kiha needs specifically 26 pearls to be surely defeated. Well, what happens now?

(The screen faded to black)

A young blue-haired was swimming across the ocean, holding a music box. Her kingdom has recently been destroyed. She came across a mysterious figure. "Huh? Who are you?" said the mermaid. The figure revealed themself. It was Fuku! "Tell me, what's your name?" said Fuku. "Meru. Meru Hosho" said Meru. "I've heard a lot about your sister, Hanon Hosho." said Fuku. "My sister?" asked Meru, confused. "Ah! Hanon-sama!" said Meru. "To me, you're just some throw away" said Fuku, "Your dreams mean nothing!" "That's not true!" said Meru, "My dreams are special. I will try to make them come true!" "And yet, you haven't got anywhere. What you do to follow your dreams is futile" "My mother always tells me to never give up!" said Meru. "Never give up, eh?" said Fuku. "Well, see you" he said. He vanished within a flash of light.

Intro

Hanon was talking to Meru. "So, what's going on?" said Meru. "My mother is coming to visit" said Hanon. "Huh? The missing queen?" said Meru. Hanon nodded. "She's coming here to check up on me" she said. "I heard Queen Kira is coming to visit too" said Coco, "And my mother, Queen Koneko" "Looks like everyone's mothers are coming to visit." said Meru. "What about Seira's?" said Meru. "Seira doesn't have a mother" said Hanon, "We could invite Sara's parents, but they're probably dead." Just then, the doorbell rang. "Ah!" said Hanon. She went down. Sure enough, it was Maia. Meru recognised her. "Mommy!" said Meru. "Well if it isn't Mel and Hanon." said Maia. "Wait, you're her daughter?" said Hanon, "Then she's my sister?" Maia nodded. "Yeah. It's about time you knew" she said. "Mommy, you're the long lost queen?" said Meru. "I had to not tell anyone, Mel" said Maia, "It's for your own safety. I may have gotten better, but I'm still prone to fainting. If people find out that you're the queen's daughter, they would overwhelm me and I'll die." "Oh no!" said Hanon. "I'm sure it's okay" said Maia, "Kira, Merina and Koneko already know not to overwhelm me"

Episode 14: No mazes of broken aqua can shatter my dreams. Only jump vexing wishes

"Everyone, this is Queen Maia" said Nikora, "The mother of both Hanon and Meru" "Hello" said Maia, "I'm the former Mermaid Princess of the South Atlantic" "Around the time of giving birth to Mel, I fell deathly ill. Apparently, if I get overwhelmed, I faint." "Kind of like me" Mikaru commented. "So I had to quit being a Mermaid Princess and pass down the role to Hanon" said Maia. "As for Mel, the birth of a heiress would raise attention and I would get overwhelmed again" said Maia, "So I had to keep her secret and not tell anyone she's the sister of the Princess." "Wow, hiding from everyone for 15 years?" said Lucia. "Yeah. But even in my darkest hours, even when I thought I was about to die, I kept on going. I never gave up" said Maia, "I've gotten better, but I'm still weak." "That's my mother!" said Meru. "I guess Kira, Merina and Koneko are coming as well?" said Karen. "I invited Kira and Koneko over" said Maia. Just then, Rina and Masahiro entered. "Morning!" said Rina. "My mother will be here soon" said Masahiro. "She's coming with your mother, Lucia" said Rina. "Ah, that's good"

A minute later, Merina and Kira arrived. "Ah! Hi okaa-san!" said Lucia. "Lucia! It's good to see you again!" said Kira, "Ah, who's this?" "My name is Kaito" said Kaito. "Ah, I've heard all about you" said Kira, "You're the boy my daughter fell in love with." Lucia nodded. "He's also the Panthalassa prince." said Lucia. "Well that's lucky" said Kira. "It's like when my little Masahiro met Rina" said Merina, "He was so surprised that Rina is the Green Pearl Mermaid Princess" "You got that right" said Masahiro. "I was just as surprised as he was!" said Rina. The doorbell rung. "I'll get it" said Kira. She opened the door. A blonde lady wearing a yellow sundress showed up. "Ah! Onee-chan!" said Kira. "How is my little sister doing?" said Koneko. "I'm good" said Kira, "Oh, that's right. You haven't met my daughter!" "Oh, I wasn't there at her birth." said Koneko, "Sorry" Lucia walked up. "Oh! Here she is" said Kira. "Ah! You have blonde hair!" said Koneko. "Yeah!" said Lucia. "You must be special." said Koneko. "I am" said Lucia, "My name is Lucia Nanami, Heiress of Aqua Regina." "Ah, Lucia. Named after her father" said Koneko. "Just like how Coco was named after you" said Lucia, "She told me about it. You call her Kokoro, right?" "Yeah, like she's a part of my heart!" said Koneko, "Speaking of which, where is she" "I'm here, mother!" said Coco. "Ah! Kokoro!" said Koneko. "How's Kotoko doing?" said Coco. "She's doing all fine. Your father is taking good care of her" said Koneko. "Uh, who's Kotoko?" said Seira. "Oh, Kotoko is my little sister!" said Coco, "She wants to be a pop star, but she messes up notes here and there" "But even still, she keeps on trying" said Koneko. "That's my way of life!" said Maia. "Ah, Qinglong. Good to see you." said Koneko. "You know him?" said Gabrielle. "He takes care of Kotoko sometimes." said Koneko. "My mother once tried to arrange a marriage between me and him" said Coco. "But in the end, I rejected her. I said I was in love with the Left Hand Maiden" said Qinglong. "Ah! You were searching for me?" said Gabrielle. "Yeah" said Qinglong.

Later, Meru walked up to Hanon. "Hey, Hanon. I got to tell you something" said Meru. "Sure, what is it?" said Hanon. "While I was fleeing the South Atlantic, I met an angel." said Meru. "Fuku!" said Hanon. "Yeah" said Meru, "He told me that my dreams are worthless. That everything I have done to achieve them has done nothing" "Meru, you know better than that" said Hanon. "You're right!" said Meru, "I can make my dream come true!" "Do what mother taught you to do!" said Hanon. "I will try really hard to make my dream come true!" said Meru. "If you don't mind me asking, what is your dream?" said Hanon. "I want to be in the High Council!" said Meru. "What? The High Council?" said Hanon. "Fun Fact: The High Council is a group of forty-nine mermaids, including the Mermaid Princesses themselves, that discuss current events and strategize plans." said Xuffie. "Xuffie! How did you get here?!" said Hanon. "I'm just here to watch" said Xuffie. "Oh, okay" said Hanon. "So, you want to get into the high council, huh?" said Hanon. "Yeah." said Meru, "I wonder if you could make an opening for me?" "Being in the high council has more responsibilities than you might think." said Hanon, "Are you sure you want to be in it" "Yeah! More than anything!" said Meru. "Well, I'll try and arrange some training for you" said Hanon. "Yay!"

Koneko and Kira were talking to Coco. "So? Did you find a boy?" said Kira. "Yes I did!" said Coco, "His name is Mori!" "Ah, Mori. That's a cute name" said Koneko, "Is he like Qinglong in any way?" "Well, that is to say, he is a demon." said Coco. "You... fell in love with a water demon?" said Kira. "Hippo did the same!" said Coco. "Huh. He did." said Kira, "But Lucia fell in love with a Panthalassa Prince so it's fine to me!" "If it's allowed to my niece, then it's allowed to my daughter!" said Koneko. "Ah, speaking of which, I've told him to meet you" said Coco, "He's coming right now" Mori walked in. "Hey, Mrs Taihei." said Mori. "Wow! He's so hot!" said Koneko, "You made a good choice!" "Wow, even my girlfriend's mother is in love with me" said Mori, "My work here is done" "But you didn't do anything" said Koneko. "He calls himself The Wings of Love and Pleasure." said Coco. "Oh, and yeah. Nagisa came with me." said Mori. "Oh, hello!" said Nagisa. "Ah! Nagisa!" said Hanon. "Ah! Hanon, who's this?" said Maia. "It's Nagisa! The boy I've told you about!" said Hanon. "Oh, that really persistent boy, who never gives up trying to impress you" said Maia. "That's right!" said Hanon. "We have a lot in common." said Maia. "Yeah, we do!" said Nagisa. "And I think you might be the same" said Nagisa. "Huh? Why do you think that?" said Hanon. "You never gave up on Mitsuki-sensei." said Nagisa. "Yeah! I never did!" said Hanon. "It seems like not giving up runs in the family" said Maia. "Yeah. You know, my mother was like that" said Nagisa. "It runs in your family as well" said Maia. "Yep!" said Nagisa.

Eyecatch: Hanon

"So, would you like hot chocolate?" said Gabrielle. "Oh, how thoughtful" said Koneko. "Gabrielle makes the best hot chocolate." said Qinglong. "I'm practically the barista of Maki-san's beach cafe." said Gabrielle. "Speaking of Maki-san, I got some good news!" said Nikora, "I accepted Maki-san's proposal!" "Ah! Nikora!" said Kira, "You fell in love as well? I'm so proud of my step-daughter!" "Okaa-san, I don't like it when you embarrass me." said Nikora. "So, when's the wedding?" said Koneko. "I haven't planned anything out yet, but Maki-san is planning out a venue" said Nikora, "He says it will be ready some time in July." "I can't wait!" said Nikora. "Anyways, this hotel has been opened by you, am I right?" said Koneko. "Yeah. I opened it five years ago" said Nikora. "And you said that you wanted to open a hotel on the surface" said Koneko. "Yeah!" said Nikora. "Looks like you never gave up on that dream." said Kira. "Yeah. I remember when this place opened" said Nikora. "Enough of that. May I see this Maki-san?" said Kira. "Sure" said Nikora. "Hey, one question!" said Gabrielle. "What is it?" said Nikora. "You haven't told me what happened to Meron" said Gabrielle. "Oh. She died while visiting the surface." said Nikora, "Just outside where this hotel will be built, she was killed by-" "A haunted raping arsonist?" said Xuffie. "Yeah that" said Nikora. "Just saying those three words brings back so many bad memories." said Xuffie, "I apologise to myself for saying that" She left. "Anyways, I'll show you Maki-san." said Nikora, "I think he's working at the beach cafe now" She and Kira left.

Later, the mermaids are working at the beach cafe. Nikora and Kira are also there with Maki-san. "Here you go, Ms Mikami." said Maki. "Actually, I'm not Mrs Mikami" said Kira, "I am Lucia's mother, not Nikora's" "But thanks anyway" she said. She took the coffee. "Say, your daughter is really good at working here" said Maki. "Who? Lucia or Nikora?" said Kira. "Lucia, of course" said Maki, "She has really improved over the past couple of months." "Yeah." said Nikora, "She also improved at working at the hotel." "Wow! Such a talented girl!" said Kira, "I'm so proud of my daughter!" "Aw, stop it, mom!" said Lucia. She fell, then she got back up, brushed herself off, and rolled off as if nothing ever happened. "Even when things like that happen, she always remains perseverant." said Maki. "Yeah" said Kira. "Like me!" said Hanon. "Ah! Hanon!" said Kira. "When I fall down, I get back up again!" said Hanon, "I never give up!" "That's my girl!" said Maia. "Oh, Hanon. Who's this?" said Maki. "She's my mother!" said Hanon. "Hello! My name is Maia!" said Maia. "But mother, what are you doing here?" said Hanon. "I'm here to check up on you!" said Maia, "I brought Mel over." "Hanon-sama!" said Meru. "Wanna help me out?" said Hanon. "Oh sure!" said Meru. "Yeah! Meru-chan's going to be here with me too!" said Seira. "I'll go check if I have any spare outfits" said Maki. So later, Hanon and Meru were working together to serve and entertain the patrons. Even when Meru crashed face first into the wall, Hanon helped her get up and they continued delivering the drinks. After the shift was done. Hanon, Meru and the others walked out. "Wow! That was fun!" said Meru. "It sure was!" said Hanon. "You two did great!" said Maia. "Let's rest for today" said Lucia. "Good idea." said Meru.

The next day, Hanon and Meru walked down the stairs. They saw Maia making breakfast. "Ah! Mother!" said Hanon. "You're awake." said Maia. "Yeah. Meru woke up to go pee and asked me to accompany her" said Hanon. "Scared to go by herself, huh?" said Maia. Meru blushed. "I just need someone to make me feel safe." she said. "Anyways, what are you making?" said Hanon. "Oh, I'm making waffles" said Maia. "Yay! Waffles!" said Meru. "You're so good at cooking!" said Hanon. Meru and Hanon ate the waffles. "Ah! Mother, I have to leave now" said Hanon. "Huh? Why?" said Maia. "I promised to go to the aquarium with Nagisa." said Hanon. "Nagisa? Who's that?" said Maia. "He's my boyfriend!" said Hanon. "Oh! I'm so glad for you!" said Maia. The doorbell rang. "Ah! I think that's him!" said Hanon. She ran over to the door. Sure enough, he was there. "Hey, Hanon." he said, "Ready for our date?" "Yeah!" said Hanon. "Who's that?" said Nagisa. "Ah! Nagisa! I like you to meet my mother!" said Hanon. "Hello. I'm Maia Hosho!" said Maia. "Ah! Hello, Ms Hosho" said Nagisa, "I'm just taking your daughter out on a trip to the aquarium. Is that okay with you?" "Yeah, sure!" said Maia. "Okay, bye, mother!" said Hanon. She and Nagisa left.

Hanon and Nagisa arrived at the aquarium. They looked at the South Atlantic fish. "These fish remind me of home" thought Hanon, "I wonder how the others back at my kingdom are doing" "Hey Hanon, you seem pretty interested in those fish" said Nagisa. "I am." said Hanon. "Oh look! A spadefish! I haven't seen one of those since I was young!" said Hanon. "Huh? What do you mean?" asked Nagisa. "Uh… err…" said Hanon, "Don't mind that!" She saw the spadefish hit the glass. "Oh no! Is it hurt?" said Hanon. "I don't think so" said Nagisa, "Look!" The fish lust swam away as if it never happened. "That is one persistent fish" said Nagisa, "What do you think it's trying to do?" "I think it's trying to make its way back to its school" said Hanon, "I think it's lost" "It looks confused" said Nagisa, "But even still, it keeps on going" "It reminds me of both of us" said Hanon. The fish arrived to a group of other spadefish. "Yay! It did it!" said Hanon. "Good fish" said Nagisa. Just then, they heard an attack. "What was that?" said Hanon. "I think it came from outside" said Nagisa. Hanon and Nagisa ran over to where they thought the attack was from. Just then, Lanhua's sensu knocked Hanon into the ocean. "Hanon!" shouted Nagisa.

Hanon swam to Kiha and Lanhua. "Oh, there you are" said Kiha, "All alone. Where are your friends?" "I'm in serious danger here." said Hanon. Lanhua sent out petals from her sensu at Hanon, stunning her. Nagisa swam over. "A mermaid?" he thought. He realised. "You're the one I met at that wedding!" he said. "Ah! Nagisa!" said Hanon. "How do you know my name?" said Nagisa. Lanhua threw a rope at Hanon. "Oh no!" thought Nagisa. He swam over to her. "Wake up!" said Nagisa. "Oh, look at that. The boy is trying to save her" said Lanhua. Kiha activated the K Destroyer. "Please! Wake up! I believe in you!" said Nagisa, "Don't give up!" Hanon woke up. "You're awake!" said Nagisa. "Mizuiro Pearl Voice!" The K Destroyer deactivated. "Oh no!" said Kiha. "Nagisa come in here!" said Hanon. Nagisa went to the live stage, he gasped for air. "Thanks!" said Nagisa. "You're welcome" said Hanon. "Get ready for my Pichi Pichi Voice Live Start!"

"Cutie Hot Pitch!" they both said. Kiha and Lanhua disappeared. "How about an encore!" Nagisa looked at Hanon. "I finally get to see you again" said Nagisa, "You look like a friend of mine" "Huh?" said Hanon. Hanon just winked. Nagisa kissed Hanon. Hanon blushed. "I should get back now" said Nagisa. He jumped out of the live stage and swam off. "Is he finally figuring out that I'm Hanon?" Hanon thought. "He's probably looking for me" she said. She de-transformed and left.

Credits

Nagisa ran to Hanon. "Hanon, where were you?" said Nagisa. "Sorry for leaving you" said Hanon. "Anyways, I saw that mermaid again." said Nagisa, "The mermaid I met the other day." "Do you have an idea on who she might be?" he asked. "Huh?" said Hanon. Hanon just winked. "That wink looks familiar" said Nagisa. He remembered how that idol singer also winked at him the same way. "He's finally figuring it out." Hanon thought. As Nagisa thought about that mermaid, images of her and Hanon started merging together. "No, she couldn't be" he thought. "I won't give up finding her!" said Nagisa. "That's my Nagisa!" said Hanon. "That mermaid, or Hanon?" Nagisa thought, "I wonder which one I truly love." "I still wonder if they're the same..."
