Chapter 8
"Now it's off to meet the guys!" Hanon said as she turned and started walking. "Umm, Hanon, school doesn't end for another four hours." Lucia said. Hanon sweat dropped. "Okay, then we'll go get Coco and the others and have some fun!" She said happily, and they just followed.
"Caren, Noel, Coco, Seira! Get up, we're going out today!" Hanon shouted as she bursted through the door. "Going out? Going out where?" Caren Said. "Ah, those outfits are so cool!" Coco said. "I figured we'd go have what fun we could today since we leave tomorrow." She said. "That does sound like a good chance to relax and get good and energized for this little war we're in." Noel said. "So what're we waiting for? Let's go!" Hanon shouted. "Can we go get some ice cream first?" Seira said as she used her cute little irresistible face. "Let's go get ice cream first." Seira screamed for joy
Note to self, never get suckered into that cute little face ever again. Hanon thought. Although the ice cream was really delicious, and Seira had three helpings of it. After that Caren, Noel, and Coco wanted to go get new clothes too. Caren got a purple shirt with long jeans and purple flip flops, Coco got a yellow dress with spaghetti straps and it went a little above her knees, and Noel got an outfit similar to Lucia's only dark blue. Seira got an orange shirt with a white skirt.
School was boring as ever, all he could do was stare at the front and pretend to listen. Now Nagisa was in the same class as Kaito and Hamasaki was in the class ahead of them. "Well, class that's it for today, as soon as the bell rings your dismissed." The teacher said as he closed his teaching book and sat at his desk, it was about five minutes til the bell rings. "Hey Nagisa." Kaito called. "What?" He said as he walked over. "Hanon's back in town." He said as he stopped in front of him. "She is!?" He shouted. "Shh, yeah she is." I wonder about something, maybe if he sees her in her mermaid form, he'd know it's her. "Well then let's go find her after school!" He said all jumpy. "Well, Rina is too, so we should find Hamasaki too."
Just then the bell rang, and Nagisa was about to zoom out of the room, until Kaito grabbed his collar. "Whoa there hotshot, let's get Hamasaki, then you can speed out of here." He said as he dragged him out of the room. They went down the hall and saw Hamasaki. "Hey!" They both shouted. "Hey guys, what's up?" He asked. "You can take time out of your practice to see a friend of ours can't you?" Kaito asked. "That depends on who it is really." He replied. "It's Rina!" Nagisa blurted, several students stopped and looked. "Is Rina, Lucia, and Hanon back!?" People shouted.
"Umm, no, I was just telling him he got a letter from her, that's all." Kaito said quickly. Everyone just let out an "aww." and continued walking. "Why'd you say that?" Nagisa whispered. "Because they aren't here for very long and do you want a big group of girls hanging around them the whole time they're here and never leaving them alone?" He said.
"No, good point." He said. "So Rina is really back?" Hamasaki said quietly. "Yeah, all three are." Kaito said. "Well, what're we waiting for let's go see them." Nagisa said. "Okay, I can take off practice for Rina." Hamasaki said, and all three walked out the front door. They walked by the big crowd by the front gate and exited when they turned out the gate, there they were. Leaning against the wall, right by the gate, was Hanon, Lucia, and Rina.
"Hello boys." Hanon said as she leaned away from the wall. "Hanon!" Nagisa shouted as he ran over to Hanon. "Hey Hamasaki." Rina said with a very beautiful smile on her face. "Hey Rina, you do remember you promise, right?" He said with a charming smile. "Yeah, so let's go." She said as she grabbed his arm and they walked away. "You know that's the first time she ever did something like that." Hanon said. "Maybe she's finally seen the light." Lucia said. "Well let's catch up to them." Kaito said as he grabbed Lucia's hand and they ran to catch up. "Come on Nagisa!" Hanon said as she did the same.
They all went to the peak, for some reason, it was the girls who led them there. They stood and looked into the water. Suddenly, Hanon, Rina, and Lucia heard Aqua Regina's voice in their heads. Hanon, Rina, Lucia has been able to reveal herself to the one she loves, now it's your turn, if you do, you will not turn into foam. And the voice faded. "Well you heard her you two, now you need to do it!" She said as she tapped them on the shoulders. "Do what?" Nagisa asked. "Who said what?" Hamasaki asked. "Hanon and Rina have something they wanna show you." Lucia said. "Lucia, I don't think we should."
"Don't worry about it, if you do nothing will happen." She said. "Now do it!" She said as she tapped on their shoulders again. "Fine, we'll do it." Hanon said. "I can't, I'm not risking it." Rina said. "Well your doing it anyway!" Lucia laughed as she and Hanon pushed her over the side, in which Hanon quickly followed. "Hey!" Rina shouted as she hit the water. "Rina!" Hamasaki shouted. "Hanon!" Nagisa shouted. When they looked over the peak, they saw two figures in the water, one with long flowing aqua blue hair with two starfish in it, and the other with long green hair.
"Hanon, Rina, is that you?" Nagisa asked. "Who else do you think is down here with fins?" Hanon said. "Fins?" Hamasaki asked. Rina and Hanon lifted their tails for them to see. "Whoa, you're mermaids!?" Nagisa asked. "Duh!" Hanon said. "You know, this explains a lot." Hamasaki said. "Well, now you know why we left, and why we have to leave again." Rina said. "Come on you two, get out before the you know what gets you." Lucia said. "You're a mermaid too?" Hamasaki asked. "Yup, why else would I be perfectly calm and not hanging my mouth open." She joked.
It was true, they both did have their mouths hanging wide open, you would too if you found out your girlfriend was a mermaid. "Kaito, did you know about this?" Nagisa asked. "Yeah, I kinda did, but I wasn't sure if I was allowed to say anything." He said. "How come they didn't tell us before?" Hamasaki asked. "Because if a mermaid reveals her identity in any way, she turns into sea foam, but if a human realizes it, it's okay. But for some reason, we didn't." Lucia explained.
"So what do we do now?" Nagisa asked. "Well, now that you know that we're mermaids, we're safe to tell about the fact that we're leaving tomorrow." Hanon said. "What, your leaving, tomorrow, already!?" Nagisa asked. "Yeah, we gotta catch a flight." Rina said. "So what about the rest of today? What're we going to do for your last day?" Hamasaki asked. "I know what you guys should do!" Someone shouted, they all turned around and Saw Caren and the others, excluding Hippo. "How long have you guys been there, and where's Hippo?" Lucia asked. "Hippo's a little tied up at the moment."
"We've been here ever since you two revealed your selves, how come your not foam?" Coco asked. "We don't know either, so what are you guys doing here?" Hanon asked. "We came to help you with your problem." Caren said. "We all think..." Coco started. "..that the six of you..." Noel said. "..should all go on the plane with us." Seira finished. "Go with us? Are you kidding, they don't need to be involved!?" Lucia shouted. Lucia, Hanon, and Rina ran over to the group.
"Are the four of you nuts? They don't need to go, they'll be in real danger, and Hippo would never allow it. Besides, I don't want them getting hurt." Hanon said. "Yeah but the beauty of it is that they just come with us on the flight, not the battle." Caren said. "You know we don't mind." Kaito said. "What?" Rina asked. "We wouldn't mind going with you." Hamasaki said. "Why do you wanna go?" Hanon asked. "Because we can't let all of you face this burden alone." Nagisa said. "So how about it Lucia?" Kaito said. "What if you get hurt?" She said.
"Hey, do you really think I'll go down so easily just be-cause of a fear of getting hurt? I thought you knew me better than that?" He said. "Well, I don't know." Hanon said. "Come on Hanon, you know you want us to go." Nagisa said. "That may be so, but I also want you to be out of the way, you got it?" She said. "So does that mean we're going?" Hamasaki asked. "Well, okay, but you don't leave land under any circumstances, you got it!?" Lucia, Hanon and Rina shouted together. "We got it." The three guys said all at once.
"So the plane leaves tomorrow at noon, and it'll take at least four hours to get there. We've all ready got tickets, and we just picked up three more because we knew you guys would let them go." Caren said. "What, you guys knew they'd go?" Hanon said. "Yup, and we all need to go get ready!" Seira said cheerfully. "Bye bye, lovebirds!" They all said and ran off, leaving the guys, and three blushing girls. "Honestly, those four, they drive me crazy." Lucia said.
"Ditto." Hanon and Rina said. "So tell us where we're going, and why?" Hamasaki asked. Rina and Hanon told them the entire story while the two guys listened. Lucia and Kaito had already been through this, they just stood by and listened. "So that's everything that's happened, and I thought school was a problem." Nagisa said. "This is no time for jokes, Nagisa, this is serious. There are reasons we didn't want you three to go, this prince wanted one of us to marry him so we could combine countries, but we all felt that we didn't need to for two reasons, that we feel are not important for you three to hear." Hanon said. "Why not?" Hamasaki asked.
"Because it's embarrassing for us to say, now back to the point, just go home and pack, but remember, do not argue when we say to stay on the land, you don't set foot in the water. Not until it's safe, we can't even go until it's time to go, so if they find out you are associated with us, they could find you." Rina said. "Alright, we get the point." Nagisa said. "Then go and pack if you wanna go!" Hanon said. "Fine, I'm going." Nagisa said. "Hey, wait." Hanon said as she ran up to him and kissed his cheek. "Something to get you motivated." She said.
He then zoomed home. "He's fast." Hamasaki said. "He is when it comes to me." Hanon said. "Well, I'll go too then." Kaito said. "I'll walk you." Lucia said. "I'll walk you, Hamasaki." Rina said as she grabbed his arm and walked with him home. "I have to walk home alone? You people stink!" Hanon said as she ran all the way home.
Kaito and Lucia walked and stopped in front of his house. "So what time should you be at the airport?" He said. "I'm still not sure if you should go." She said with a sad face. "I told you that I want to go, I'm not letting you face this by yourself." He said. "But, what if something really does happen?" She said. "Then I suppose you'll have to go on without me." He said. "What!?" She shrieked. "Just kidding, you know I'd never get myself killed." He said with a smile. "That's not funny, I'm serious." She said. He pulled her into his arms, and she deeply blushed. "I'm telling you this now, I won't leave the surface, I'll stay right where you left me, as long as I go with you, I'm happy." He said. "Okay." She said, he lifted his head, and she kissed his lips. "We leave at 11:00 for the airport."
