Kiri turned to smile at Ilwyd and shrieked.

"Kiri? What is it?" Ilwyd's eyes widened.

"Ilwyd, get down!" Kiri shouted.

Surprised, the water demon ducked just in time for Kiri to shoot a blast of her power into a very angry looking giant fish. The fish roared and swam away, and Kiri leaned against the wall of the cave, panting. Using power in her mermaid form took enough energy- using MAGIC power? She must have been insane.

"Kiri!" Ilwyd rushed to her.

"I'm okay…" Kiri panted, "I just need to rest."

"I'll take you home." Ilwyd said.

Kiri nodded, "T-thank you…"

"…Why are we at a fair again?" Rilene asked the two other water demons that were with her as the three of them walked past stalls at the fair that was in the park across the street from Kiri's apartment.

"Because we have nothing better to do." Moiyu said, "We have a pillow fight, if you remember. That's just a bad sign. So we're looking for something to do. Ooh!" she ran over to one of the game booths.

Jay and Rilene hurried to catch up.

"Wanna play, little lady?" The person standing in the booth asked Moiyu, who nodded and handed him some money. He handed her a large ball and she chucked it at the bottles in front of her, but they barely wobbled.

"Sorry, maybe next time." The man said.

"Jayyyy…" Moiyu pouted.

"Alright." Jay sighed, handing the man his money. Jay took aim and swung, but the bottles wobbled less than they had for Moiyu. The man laughed.

Rilene sighed, "Augh, give me that." She took money from Moiyu and handed it to the man, taking the ball and swinging, knocking over all three bottles.

The man's eyes widened, "Whoah! Strong little girl here!"

"Moiyu, choose a prize." Rilene scowled.

Moiyu grinned and got a plush octopus for Rilene's prize, clutching it close, "Thanks, Rilene!!"

Rilene chuckled, "No problem."

Lexia leaned back in her chair, balancing it carefully on two legs. Being a bar stool, the chair was high, and if Lexia was to fall, she would surely hit her head and possibly get a concussion/split it open/die. Yet, she was still balancing herself on the chair.

Madison looked over from where she was cutting a pie they'd found leftover from Kiri's baked goods explosion. Glancing at the pie in her hands and then Lexia, she sent it flying.

It hit the sapphire mermaid in the back of the head, sending her chair flying back onto four legs and Lexia hurtling into the piece of pie that was sitting on the bar. Grumbling very loudly, Lexia got up and glared at Madison, who started laughing at the girl as pie slid off her face.

"Madisonnnn…" Lexia growled.

Madison 'eep'ed and ran from the room, Lexia on her heels.

Aryl dove underneath a table as a lamp went flying. "Mom! Stop throwing things!"

"I didn't throw anything, Aryl." Aryl's mother's voice came from the next room.

A vase hit the wall above the table Aryl was underneath. "Then who is throwing collectibles at me?!"

"I don't know." Aryl's mother's unconcerned voice came from the room she was in. "Go check."

"Mother!" Aryl shouted, as a clock shattered into a million pieces on the wall, "If I come out from under this table, I could die!"

Aryl's mother didn't answer.

"And she wonders why I left." Aryl grumbled. Making sure no new flying collectibles were headed her way, Aryl darted out from under the table and ran towards where they were coming from to see a raccoon with a picture frame in its hands. Her eyes softened, "Aww…" she stepped over to the little critter, who tossed the picture frame over his shoulder and noticed her. "Hi there." Aryl reached a hand out. The raccoon sniffed it, and then jumped over to her. Aryl laughed, hugging her new pet.

When Caren walked in to see Aryl playing with a raccoon, she didn't even find it weird.

Sara was grading paper at her desk when suddenly Uya's bracelet started to burn again. Wincing, she grabbed her wrist.

Haizea was sitting at her desk on the other side of the room when she felt Sara's discomfort. Looking over at the teacher, she blinking.

'Is her hair turning black?' Haizea's eyes widened.

Streaks of Sara's hair were starting to darken in color. Sara's entire body was starting to hurt and she ran from the room and to the bathroom. One of the other teachers noticed this and hurried into her room to figure out what had happened.

No one had any idea.

XXXX

Sara was panting and leaning over the sink when her hair finally turned fully orange again and the bracelet stopped burning. She picked up her bracelet, glancing at it and sighing. "I really need to get rid of this…" she murmered. She pulled her phone out and called Rayza.

"Helloooo?" Rayza answered quickly.

"Rayza?" Sara's voice was slightly raspy, "I need to talk to you. It's urgent."

"Who is this?" Rayza asked.

"It's Sara."

There was a pause, "Where are you?"

"At the school I teach at." Sara said. She was about to say the name, but Rayza cut her off.

"I'll be right there." She hung up.

"But I didn't even tell you the school name…" Sara muttered.

"His name is Corbin!" Aryl proclaimed proudly, putting the raccoon on her shoulders.

Caren sighed, "And you just decided this."

"Yup!" Aryl grinned, "But look at him! He looks like a Corbin!"

Again, Caren sighed.

Corbin hopped off of Aryl's head and into Caren's lap, leaning against her chest.

Caren chuckled, patting the raccoon on his head, "Alright, he's cute, I'll give you that."

Aryl grinning victoriously, scooping Corbin up, "I win!"

"Speaking of winning. Or well, not really." Caren said, "How's your leg?"

"In this form? Fine." Aryl said, "In my mermaid form? Getting better. I took a bath this morning and it really hurt."

"Oh." Caren said.

"If you need to go back to Tokyo, you can go without me, you know." Aryl sat back down on the bed.

Caren shook her head, "No, no, that's not it at all." She insisted.

Aryl frowned, but nodded, "Alright…"

"I'm just worried about Coco." Caren said.

"Kiri said she's still asleep." Aryl explained.

"Yeah, I know, but… she was trapped for so long…"

XXXX

Meanwhile, in Kiri's apartment, Coco's eyes snapped open.
