Author's Notes: Hi there! Wow! I can't believe that the category mermaid melody pichi pichi pitch is here… I thought it was impossible, but it isn't… I'm so happy… anyway… I'm just new when it comes to writing MMPPP fics… and this is my first one… so I guess I won't be able to make this a perfect fic… well, no one's perfect right? Anyway, I wanted to try a new shipping like RinaxKaito… or LuchiaxMasahiro… something like those… but the main pairings will still be here… even though I added a little bit of RinaxKaito fluff… but if you don't like it, please don't kill me, just review and tell me… okay? And to add to all I said… I based this fic on the manga… not on the anime… remember that…
Disclaimer: Pichi pichi is not mine… It belongs to Ms. Pink Hanamori…
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I sat beside the window sill
Looking at the snowy streets
Trees covered with white stuff
Children making snowmen with their silly hats…
It's still early in the morning as the chilly air of December rubbed against my skin, Ten days before Christmas and I still have a lot to do… Like studies, shopping, wrapping presents and also thinking of stuff to cook once the day comes, Hanon and Luchia agreed to spend their Christmas here in my apartment, and they'll bring their "boyfriends" with them as well…
"What a pain in the neck…"
And especially in my wallet. Good thing, Nikora-san offered me a part-time job at the baths, speaking of pearl baths… I'M LATE!
Rina Touin, 16 years old, full-time mermaid, part-time human, part-time student and part-time worker. No wonder her schedule's so hectic. She got up from her bed and went straight to the bathroom, she took off her pajamas and poured warm water in the tub, once she was satisfied, she sat inside and washed her mermaid body with a soapy sponge. Bubbles and foam covered her slender body as waves of emerald hair draped from her dainty shoulders, covering her breasts. Her long, green tail glistened as dim light from candle lights reflected unto them and her arms resting on the rim of the tub were as delicate as pearl. After a few minutes of bathing, she dried her body with her towel and placed on her clothes. Her attire was a dark-green, long sleeve turtle neck sweater and a pair of dark blue jeans and on her neck was her pendant containing her green pearl. She checked on her room if there was something she forgot and after a last glance on her mirror, she slipped on her shoes and left.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Oh, Good morning, Rina-chan!" Luchia exclaimed, greeting the green mermaid a warm welcome…
"Good morning, Luchia-chan…" Rina replied, smiling at her…
"Wow! I like your top!" Hanon complimented as she mopped the tiled floor on the baths…
"Thanks, anyway guys, have you done your shopping yet?" the green mermaid asked
"Not yet…" Luchia and Hanon replied in unison
"Then why don't the four of us shop together?" Nikora suggested, folding the towels neatly…
"Ahh… sorry, but I won't be able to go with you… I have to go to the beach and help Kaito-kun with his surf board…" Luchia exclaimed, daydreaming about his beloved Kaito…
"Me too…" Hanon uttered "Nagisa-kun and I have a date tonight so I guess I'll do my shopping tomorrow…" she added
"Oh I see… then that leaves the two of us, nee? Rina-chan?" Nikora said and Rina nodded…
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Rina-chan! Help me with this, will you…" Nikora said, as Rina helped her carry a pile of basket to the counter. Once they finished, they closed the baths and headed to the mall…
"Rina-chan?"
"Yeah?"
"What are you planning to give your loved-one?"
'that's right… I haven't decided what to give Masahiro-kun' Rina thought…
"Uhh… I haven't decided yet…"
"Oh… How about Luchia? Hanon? And Kaito?"
"I guess I'll give Luchia a bracelet, a top for Hanon and a… umm… what for Kaito?"
"I'm giving him a wristwatch…" Nikora said "And don't copy me…"
Rina laughed, "I won't, I promise!" Nikora laughed with her…
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Rina-chan, I'll just pay for these, You can continue shopping. I'll meet up with you on the first floor fountain…" Nikora stated…
"Ohh… okay…!" Rina replied and walked towards a accessories shop…
Looking at the bracelets, Her eyes landed on a silver bracelet with pink shells and pearl and other beads as charms… she thought of it as a perfect gift for Luchia…
"Miss… How much is this?" she asked…
"That would be 2000 yen…" The saleslady answered sluggishly…
"Here you go…" Rina said, handing two 1000 yen bills to the salesclerk… "Can I have it gift wrapped?" She added…
And after a few minutes of waiting, she got the box and went off… She entered a boutique full of clothes, searching for the right one, she scanned the hanged clothing, almost all of it is very lovely but one caught her eyes… It was a tee decorated with beads and gems, with a heart made of glitters in front, it would definitely fit Hanon…
After buying the top, she proceeded to the department store…
'Now what should I give to Masahiro-kun…' She thought to herself when she suddenly bumped into someone…
"Oh… Rina? I'm sorry."
"Kaito? I thought you were with Luchia?"
"Yeah, I was with her, I just went here to buy wax… How 'bout you? What are you doing here?" Kaito asked
"Buying Christmas presents…" she replied
"Am I included in your Christmas list?" Kaito asked, once again, leaning closer making his face only an inch farther than hers…
"Shut up…" she turned, stifling a blush on her face…
"Well, as for me… I want a jacket for Christmas!" Kaito's smile turning into a chuckle when he saw Rina blushing…
"Why are you laughing?" Rina asked, one eyebrow arching…
"Nothing… come on!" Kaito grabbed Rina's hand and dragged her to a nearest boutique…
"What are we doing here?"
"You want to buy a present for Masahiro, right?"
Rina blushed and nodded…
"Well then…" Kaito walked slowly as he scanned the items in the shop… from wristwatches to jerseys… most of the items were for men, after a few minutes of searching…
"Hey Rina, Come here, I found something…"
"What is it?"
"Here…"
