I don't own Mermaid Melody.
Sorry for the long wait! Anyways, thanks to Awesome Rapidash, Sailor Stars Mars, KeslAKid, and Suzurin for reviewing! This chapter goes over four hundred words a bit, but I couldn't cut such a wonderful chapter down anymore then it already is. Sorry.
Whenever heat devolved in Japan, people often went to the beach or to a pool to cool off, but do to their heritage and strange cruse, Hanon, Lucia, and Rina couldn't go to the beach or a pool without reverting back to their mermaid forms. So whenever the heat got to them, they stayed in the bathhouse with Lucia. There the three relaxed in their mermaid forms without any trouble…until today. The three picked out one of the biggest baths to hang out in.
"So," Lucia began with a sly smile, "what's going on between you two?"
A dark blush covered Hanon and Rina's faces. "Nothing," they both answered.
"Aw come on!" Lucia sat forward with a pout across her face. "I know something's going on; the two of you didn't show up for school the other day!"
Rina tried her best to keep her cool. "So?"
"I know something's going on," Lucia insisted.
Hanon kept quiet. The fight between her and Rina had happened a week ago and since then the two hadn't spoken about anything. The trips to Rina's apartment stopped, the phone calls, and the late night shopping trips became nothing but a mere memory. As much as Hanon wanted to pick up everything and start over, she didn't want to bring it up to Rina again. No, the aqua princess never wanted to cry like that again.
"Lucia it's too hot right now," Rina said as she leaned back against the tub.
Lucia put away her pout and released a sigh. Sometimes Rina could be as stubborn as a bull and there was no way anyone could get through to her.
"Did you know that Kaito and I have started going out?" she said happily.
Rina and Hanon listened but Rina soon noticed that Hanon wasn't acting as perky as usual. Rina glanced over towards Hanon every few minutes, but didn't say anything to her. The green princesses knew what was wrong; the fight that she and Hanon had the other day never got resolved. She knew what she had to do.
"Rina? Hanon?" Lucia asked.
Rina perked and took in a deep breath. "Lucia, Hanon and I are going out," she admitted.
"Eh?!" Lucia's eyes and mouth widened. "Really?"
"Yeah." Rina nodded and turned towards Hanon. "Right?"
A smile crossed Hanon's face, one she thought she would never give again. "Right," she answered as tears welled in the corners of her eyes.
R&R please!
