Hey guys, sorry for the delay. We're almost there now! This is probably one of my favorites to write about, though the last one will be fun as well. :D
This time it's another fun duet between kwami and (possible) master. Nino and Wayzz here sing "Under da Sea" from the Little Mermaid. (I just have to have them sing this.)
Enjoy!

[Nino tries to help his new buddy relax and learn how to 'let it loose' in his own Nino way]
"Hey Wayzz! Wayzz, buddy! Where are you?!" Nino sees Wayzz pop out from his room and walked towards him.
"Master Nino, is it wise to call my name out like that? What if someone heard you?"
"Don't worry there bud. My parents are out for their anniversary at the moment. I already gave them my gift to them, so I got the place to myself now. Come here."
NIno beckons Wayzz to his electric piano, which he setted up next to a music stand that had sheets occupied in them already.
"Is this what I think it is?"
"Yup! It's my beautiful electric piano I got for my birthday one day. Join me Wayzz! Let's sing something together!"
"Uh, sing?"
"Yeah! You know sing like SING~ Like that." He gave an example of what singing was, though Wayzz shook his head.
"Master-"
"Nino!"
"Mas-"
"Ni-No! C'mon try it. Nino!"
"...I know what singing is, but I do not see the point in this exercise you want us to do."
"The point? Simple, it's to help us bond!"
"Bond?"
"Yeah." Nino pulls up his right arm, revealing the turtle miraculous - the green bracelet he's wearing at the moment. "Ever I received this from your previous master, I felt like we haven't exactly… get to know each other well enough."
"Oh, I see…"
"Yeah, so hey - I'm a music fanatic myself, and since music helps bring people together, I thought 'why don't we sing together?!" Wayzz stared at him for a moment, but then shook his head again.
"I appreciate the thought Master Nino, but I don't really sing."
"First of all, it's just plain ol' Nino Wayzz. Second, I think you can. You don't even have to be good at it. Just this one time is all I ask. Please?"
Nino put his hands together and pleaded to the kwami. Wayzz took his time to consider what he said, and if it was worth it. Eventually, he nodded.
"Mnn, I guess I should at least try to learn and appreciate the things you enjoy Master Nino."
"Alright! Sweet! Now then, which one should we do?" NIno began to take the sheets from the stand and looked through all of them. "Do you have any request bud?"
"No master" Wayzz answered as he shook his head. "I don't listen to music, and I think it's been about 523 years since I have to be honest"
"What?!" Nino jerked his head up from the sheets.
"You don't know any artist like Shakira?" Wayzz shook his head. "What about Drake? Hamliton? Not even Michael Jackson?!" Wayzz shook his head to all the suggestions.
"Do you not like music Wayzz?!"
"It's not that Master Nino. Rather, I don't really indulged myself in this kind of activity, even with Master Fu, unless if needed."
"...Wow~ You didn't need to listen to music for 523 years…"
"Well, actually, Master Fu did have some records in his studio, though he only used them in work. I'm usually asleep when he works."
Nino facepalmed at his information and thought to himself for a while.
"I'm terribly sorry Master Nino. Maybe we should stop here then-"
"No! No no no no no. No Wayzz. We will do this! And it's Nino."
"So... what do you suggest?"
"...Hmmm~...OH! Remember when you were forced to watch "The Little Mermaid" with my cousins when they found you last week?"
"Wh- Oh~ that… I'll be sure to be careful next time. I didn't think they would just barge in there like that."
"Nah, it's cool. I should have locked my door in the first place. Anyways, did you enjoy the movie at least?"
"Hmm? ...Yeah. It was ok I guess."
"Eh, good enough for me. Hold on, I know I had one song from there here…"
Nino went through the sheets again, until he found what he was looking for and put it on the stand with the other sheets on a nearby table. He beckoned Wayzz over to see the sheets.
"...Under da Sea?"
"Yeah! It was one of the songs from the movie."
"And you want us to sing this?"
"Why not?! It's actually one of my favorite songs from that movie, which is why I had it with me in my music folder. Just follow those lyrics on the sheet, and you'll be fine."
"I don't know…"
"Don't worry, it'll be fun. Here, I'll start."
Nino began the opening of the song through his piano, making Wayzz impressed by the music ability of his new master. Soon enough, the part where Sebastian sang was beginning, and so NIno began to sing as well.
[Nino]
The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else's lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin' for?
Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin'
Full time to floatin'
Under the sea
Nino stops there and looks at Wayzz.
"So, how was it?"
"Y-Yeah!" Wayzz nods his head. "It's was very good Mater Nino."
"Ni-No Wayzz, and that's good to hear! Now it's your."
"Wh- M-Me?"
"Yeah! C'mon, I know you can do it. I even saw you jammin' this after that party." Wayzz felt embarrassed and turn away blushing.
"B-But Master, I don't know…"
"Hmm… Don't worry about it then. How about I just keep singing then? This is, after all, one of many bonding moments." Wayzz turns back for a moment before looking at the music sheet and nods.
"Good!" Nino smiles about. He picks up where he left off.
[Nino]
Down here all the fish is happy
As off through the waves they roll
The fish on the land ain't happy
They sad 'cause they in their bowl
But fish in the bowl is lucky
They in for a worser fate
One day when the boss get hungry
Guess who's gon' be on the plate
Wayzz, as it turned out, loved to hear Nino sing. Maybe I should try it myself...
Under the sea
Under the sea
Nobody beat us
Fry us and eat us
In fricassee
We what the land folks loves to cook
Under the sea we off the hook
We got no troubles
Life is the bubbles
Under the sea
[Wayzz]
Under the sea
It was a small voice, and sounded like it was breaking, but it definitely sounded like Wayzz. Nino looked at him in joy and smiles.
[Nino]
Under the sea
[Wayzz]
Under the sea
[Nino]
Since life is sweet here
We got the beat here
Naturally
[Wayzz]
Naturally~
[Nino]
Even the sturgeon an' the ray
They get the urge 'n' start to play
We got the spirit
[Wayzz]
You got to hear it
[Nino]
Under the sea
Nino keeps playing - stalling before the next part of the song to talk to Wayzz.
"See, you got it!"
"Y-you think so?"
"Definitely my turtle companion!" Nino grins.
"...Is it ok if I sing the next part?"
"Huh, are you sure? It's a little hard…"
"..I want to try. I don't have to be good, remember."
"...Ok! Let's do this." Wayzz nods, taking his time looking at the sheet, and sings.
[Wayzz]
The newt play the flute
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass
And they soundin' sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul
[Nino]
(Yeah!)
[Together]
The ray he can play
The lings on the strings
The trout rockin' out
The blackfish she sings
The smelt and the sprat
They know where it's at
An' oh that blowfish blow
"Wow, you did it Wayzz! Nice job there!"
"Ah, thank you Master!" Both of them grin at each other.
"We're almost there. Are you ready Wayzz?"
"Most definitely."
[Nino]
Yeah~
Under the sea
[Wayzz]
Under the sea
[Nino]
Under the sea
[Wayzz]
Under the sea
[Nino]
When the sardine
Begin the beguine
It's music to me
[Wayzz]
It's music to me~
[Nino]
What do they got? A lot of sand
[Wayzz]
We got a hot crustacean band
[Together]
Each little clam here
know how to jam here
Under the sea
[Wayzz]
Each little slug here
Cuttin' a rug here
Under the sea
[Nino]
Each little snail here
Know how to wail here
[Wayzz]
That's why it's hotter
[Nino]
Under the water
[Wayzz]
Ya we in luck here
[Nino]
Down in the muck here
[Together]
Under the sea
"Yeah!" Both of them exclaimed when Nino finished playing the piano. Soon enough, they started to laugh on and on about their appearance until Wayzz spoke.
"That certainly was fun Mas… I mean, N-Nino."
"...Yeah! Wanna try that again?"
Hope you all love that one. Up next, I think you can all guess already, is the bee kwami Hunni. I named them that because I felt it was weird since all the other kwami's had name s already. Stay tuned for that one, I will be posting it soon (at least within the same day, and it's daytime where I'm in).
