Sara tossed and turned as she had yet another nightmare about Gaito. She had them every night, each more real than the last. It was like he was trying to get a message across to her, from the dead. Ridiculous really.

She went downstairs, and poured herself some cereal. Staying here, at the Piari Palace, with all the other mermaid princesses was okay, but she saw Gaito everywhere she turned. One good thing had come out of his death, and that was Hippo and Yuri. They had been married nearly a month now, and it felt only like yesterday, she could see it all so clearly… She had rotten luck. The first man she falls for, she ends up trying to kill for so many years, the second dies in her arms, granting some one else happiness and love at the same time. Ironic, really.


'Sara, are you okay, don't cry!' Lucia said, coming in to the kitchen. Sara looked up, and felt her face, and sure enough she was crying. She hadn't even noticed.

'Sorry, I don't mean to be so pathetic. But I was just thinking, there's nothing left for me here. My country is destroyed, there is a new orange princess who is going to take my place. The man I love is dead. You've been kind, letting me stay here, but I am unneeded really. There are eight of us, and we need only seven and…'

'Sara, don't say that! We want you to stay here, and being needed isn't that great. I am needed twice as much being a mermaid princess and Aqua-Regina!'

'Oh yes, I forgot about that. What are your new powers like?'

'Amazing really. I can do things I could never even dream of doing.'

'Do you think…no, it's too much to ask.'

'What is it?'

'Never mind. Forget I said anything.'

'Tell me, maybe I can help.'

'Could you create a passageway to the other side?'

'I don't know, but I can sure try! Let's go!'


Lucia opened her eyes, and there in front of her was a gate. 'Umm, excuse me, we are looking for a Gaito?' Lucia asked the gatekeeper.

'One sec, love. Any one here called Gaito? Two lovely women looking for ya! Anyone?'

a few minutes pass in the same way…

'I'm called Gaito.'

'Gaito!'

'Sara!'

'I missed you so much!'

'I missed you too!'

'I thought I'd never see you again.'

'You know, I can't stay in the land of the living that long. I'm dead now. I've passed over.'

'But I could come and live with you. In the land of the dead, that is.'

'I could never ask you to give up your whole life like that for me. You belong there, and I belong here.'

'But Gaito, you are my life now. There is nothing left for me here. My country is destroyed and if I leave there is already an orange mermaid princess ready to take my place.'

'Sara.. you would give up all that… for me…Sara, I love you!'

'I love you too, Gaito! And now, we can be together forever!'

A/N - I know, corny right? I just couldn't end things how they were, it was too depressing. Hope you enjoyed reading it, if you did R&R, and if you didn't R&R anyways!
