Thank you to Sailor Star Mars, Suzurin, Jewelieishness, Awesome Rapidash, and Granite Aizawa for reviewing! I'm not going to offer up a reason why this is so late, but I will apologize for lateness. Please read and
Enjoy.
J-Jump
No matter what a mermaid did, she could not jump. Without knees attached to legs, one could not jump up towards the sky with their hand reaching up to the sky. Rina didn't see much point in jumping, she had done it a few times in her land life when it was needed like in P.E. and when she dove into the water to transform back into a mermaid. Hanon, however, was an entirely different matter and the Aqua Princess saw fit to live her land life to the fullest.
But today would be different: Rina would jump for a different reason today.
Today Hanon invited Rina out to the beach for a picnic while Lucia watched Kaito surf in the light blue water. Rina arrived on time and saw Hanon on the beach with a smile on her face, and Lucia near the shoreline, her eyes locked on Kaito. The green haired Princess sat down beside Hanon and dug her toes into the sand.
Hanon turned to her. "Glad you could make it," she said in a gentle tone.
"Yeah," was the only answer Rina gave.
Something was wrong, Rina could feel it. Hanon wasn't speaking like she always did, and wasn't as bubbly as she had been the day before. Had something happened? Did Rina do something she didn't know about? Rina admitted her relationship to the blue haired Princess….so what was the issue?
"Hanon?" Rina asked.
Hearing her name, the Aqua Princess lifted her knees to her chest. "Rina…I…"
"What?"
"I…" Hanon took in a deep breath through her nostrils, "I need to tell you something."
"What?" Rina repeated, her eyes growing wide.
Hanon turned and faced Rina, the corner of Hanon's eyes watery. "I love you Rina."
Rina's mouth dropped open in surprise. Did Hanon really say those three small words? Those words that created kingdoms and destroyed them? But through her thoughts, Rina's heart began pounding in her chest. Would Hanon turn to sea foam? Of course mermaids couldn't reveal their love to humans but Rina wasn't a human…
Ignoring every thought, Rina jumped forward, kicking from the ground underneath her and wrapped her arms around Hanon's neck. The Green Princess hugged the other girl tightly, never wanting to let go as she silently prayed that Hanon wouldn't transform into a pile of sea foam, lifeless and without that beautiful smile Rina loved so much.
R&R please!
