Disclaimer: I do not own Mermaid Melody, only my Ocs
By the way! Nalani's image song is Across the Wind from the anime Shoujo Cosette. If you're a Les Miz fan too, YOU MUST WATCH THIS ANIME!
Nalani woke up the next morning at 7:30am. She yawned and stretched, and Hanon through the door open and ran into her room. "Oh, hey you're up." "Good morning to you to Hanon." (Hanon and the others slept over Nalani's house. Heck I don't even know where they're staying… Lol) "We're going to Morning Brew to get some breakfast. Wanna come?" asked Hanon. "Sure, let me get dressed." Hanon ran out of her room and slammed the door. "Sheesh… in a hurry much?" Nalani muttered to herself. She dragged herself out of bed and put on a red tank top and black shorts. After putting her hair up in two braids, she emerged from her bedroom.
"So are there more mermaid princesses?" asked Nalani as they were sipping coffee. "Yeah, besides you, Hanon, Rina, and I there are 6 more mermaid princesses. There is Karen the purple mermaid princess, Noel, Karen's twin, the indigo mermaid princess, Coco the yellow mermaid princess, Sara the old orange mermaid princess, Seira, Sara's successor, and a girl we found recently Eponine the black/gold mermaid princess." (This happens after Eponine's story, if I will ever finish it) Said Luchia. "Wow, so there's a lot of you…" said Nalani. "Yup, we keep finding new ones all over the place." Exclaimed Hanon. Suddenly they heard a news announcement. "Kailani the Scarlet Mermaid passed away 4pm yesterday…" After that they stood and left, for their friend had started tearing up again.
When they got back to Nalani's house Hanon announced that she was taking everyone shopping. "Nalani, while we're out, call Jordan and try to make some progress with him, see if he remembers that red mermaid." Hanon whispered to Nalani. Nalani nodded. When they left, Nalani grabbed her phone and called Jordan.
"Hello?"
"Ah, Hi Jordan, its Nalani… um, would you like to come over today? Maybe we can go to the beach or something…"
"Sure, when should I come over?"
"Um… now?"
"Okay. I'll be there in fifteen minutes."
She hung up the phone, her cheeks flushed and her hands trembling. She had just called Jordan and asked him to come over! OMG! Fifteen minutes later there was a knock at the door. "Hi Jordan!" Nalani said smiling as she opened the door. Jordan smiled too. "Hey Nalani." "Come on in!" As they went inside Jordan cleared his throat. "So I heard about your mom." "Uh, yeah, her funeral was held yesterday here." She said, her voice faltering. No. She wasn't going to cry. Not in front of Jordan. "I'm sorry…" said Jordan. "I think that even though she wasn't always there for you, she still thought of you, and wanted what was best for her daughter." Tears threatened to come to her eyes. "Uh, yeah!" She said turning around. "Her funeral was really nice too, I made sure that there were lots of red and white roses, you know, because they're her favorite flowers!" Jordan touched her arm. "You know, you can cry. I know that you're trying to act strong." He said softly. Her emotions crumbled. Tears started dripping faster than she could stop them. Jordan pulled her close and hugged her until her tears stopped.
After her tears stopped trickling down her cheeks, Nalani blushed. Jordan was hugging her! Even though she didn't want to, she unwrapped her arms from him. "Um, Jordan… want to go to the beach?" " Okay."
When they got to the beach, the sea breeze and the sound of the waves immediately made Nalani calm down. They sat in the sand gazing at the waves as they crashed. The silence was making Nalani uncomfortable, so she started to strike up a conversation. "So Jordan how is your day so far?" Just when Jordan was about to answer, the two heard a loud noise. It sounded like a crack of a whip. "What was that?" asked Nalani. "I'm not sure, I'm going to check it out." Said Jordan as he stood up. "Stay right here." Jordan walked over to where the sound had come from - behind two large rocks. Nalani looked around. There was no one else on the beach, and the silence was making her uneasy. Suddenly she heard the noise again. "Jordan?" she called. There was no answer. "Jordan?" she said louder. The silence engulfed her. Quickly she ran over to where Jordan had disappeared. Nothing was there except for the ocean. She ran into the ocean and immediately turned in a mermaid with a red tail and seashell bra. Her hair grew into long low braids tied with red ribbons. She swam quickly around the area. "I've found you, mermaid princess!"
The speaker was a beautiful girl with red eyes and black hair with streaks of white. She had on a strapless purple and black dress that went to her knees. On her feet were black shoes that had knives as heels and in her hand she held a whip. (In a way kind of like Ursula, but younger and prettier) "Who are you?" Nalani asked. "And what have you done to Jordan?" "Oh, precious princess, you don't realize who I am? I am Kuraiumi, about to make your prince a platter of sashimi!" She cackled at her own joke. "Give him back!" Nalani yelled. "Not on your life!" Kuraiumi replied. Nalani heard a faint whisper and something floated towards her. IT WAS HER PEARL! She grabbed it. "Now you've made me mad! RED PEARL VOICE!" In an instant she transformed. "All right! Pichi Pichi Voice with a live start!"

While Nalani was singing, Kuraiumi dropped her whip and Jordan and started to scream in agony. "Love shower pitch! How about a encore?" "I'll be back!" shouted Kuraiumi and disappeared. Nalani quickly dragged Jordan back to shore.
"Jordan-kun! Jordan-kun!" (When she's in human form she calls him Jordan. Normally she tries not to say stuff in Japanese around him because she's scared he won't accept her) Jordan slowly opened his eyes. "Nalani…? No, you're… you're the mermaid who save me when I was young!" He sat up looking at her. "You remind me of someone. Someone from the past and someone from the present… you have to same hair… you have the same eyes… you have the same voice… but it wouldn't be possible would it…?" He stared at her some more. "Rest now." His mermaid said. "Here, I'll sing you a lullaby"

Jordan felt his eyes closing. "You are my most precious person… all the memories we spent together, I've really enjoyed it…" his mermaid said. Memories? Thought Jordan. I haven't seen this mermaid since the time we were kids… How am I her most precious person? He heard a splash, and fell asleep.
Eponine-chan: Okay I know that this wasn't my best chapter… I think I shouldn't have created a sort of lovey dovey moment between Nalani and Jordan…
Nalani: Yeah, you shouldn't have. It made me really nervous!
•Eponine-chan rolls her eyes•
Eponine-chan: But, I think that it shows that maybe Jordan has feelings for Nanami…
Jordan: Do I?
Eponine-chan: I don't know; wait until I think of something
Nalani & Jordan: Awwwwwww
Eponine-chan *smirks*: Did you guys really want to be together that badly?
Nalani & Jordan: No – that's not what I meant, it's just, well, NO!
Eponine-chan *still smirking*: Whatever… but if you want to find out what happens next, the audience needs to rate and comment!
Nalani & Jordan: Awwwwwwwww
Eponine-chan *rolls her eyes*: Here we go again…
