I don't own Mermaid Melody or any of its characters.
Thank you to Awesome Rapidash and Kino no Tabibito for reviewing! Sorry for not updating last week! I was ill! To make up for it, I'm updating twice today. Anyways, this chapter searches something that Rina wants to grow up to be.
Enjoy!
C-Comedian
After another small, awkward date to somewhere Hanon wanted to go, Rina took Hanon to one of her favorite stand-up places. Hanon didn't have a problem with going somewhere Rina wanted to go; in fact she wanted to do everything with Rina and wanted to experience everything Rina loved to do. Hanon was more thrilled to be with Rina, rather then excited about seeing the show.
As they walked through the laughing crowd, they found their seats in the front row and began watching the comedian on the stage. The two became lost within the story the comedian told until the punch line. The comedian delivered it well, but Hanon knew that Rina could do much better. When the comedian stepped off of the stage, Hanon nudged Rina with her elbow.
"Come on," Hanon whispered with a wink. "I know you can do it."
Rina twitched. "No I couldn't."
Hanon nudged her once more. "It's amateur's night!" she said with a grin. "Please Rina?"
Instead of answering with a simple "no" Rina paused. If she was alone she would have gone on stage but now that Hanon was there, Rina felt nervous. What if something went wrong? Wait…why was Rina nervous about what Hanon would think? Did she like Hanon that much now? Rina knew that she liked Hanon, she just didn't know how much she liked Hanon.
Not being able to resist the look on Hanon's face, Rina got on stage before anyone else could. As the audience listened, Rina began to tell the jokes and stories she had been working on. She delivered her lines well, and got the audience to laugh and clap, Hanon being the loudest of course.
A part of Rina thought everything was strange, but she loved hearing how the audience reacted to the way she told her stories. She loved holding the microphone to her mouth, and how excited Hanon looked.
"More!" someone yelled as Rina finished. "Come on!!"
"Give us more!" an audience member yelled.
Hanon's smile grew so wide that her eyes closed. "Go Rina!" she called out.
A small smile crossed Rina's face. Hanon cheered from the table they had been sitting at along with the crowd. Rina's eyes focused on the blue haired mermaid as Hanon's eyes locked onto Rina's.
"Alright," Rina said.
Jokes began to come from Rina's mouth, but she never took her eyes off of Hanon.
R&R please!
