Luchia stomped all the way back to Pearl Piari when the bell finally rang. "Stupid, stupid, stupid Gaito!" she cursed at the silver haired boy as she walked along the beach, the longer way to Pearl Piari to her annoyance.
"Hey Pink Pearl" a voice whispered into Luchia's ear, Luchia felt a vein pop as she slowly turned to face the owner of the voice. "Are you stalking me!" an angry mermaid pouted to Gaito.
"Maybe..." Gaito shrugged and Luchia raised an eyebrow, "Okay, maybe I am" he chuckled slightly. "Go away, you're annoying me" Luchia huffed and crossed her arms and started walking away but Gaito kept following her.
"Ughh" Luchia sighed and flopped down onto the sandy beach and Gaito sat next to her, "Why are you following me? Why are you acting so nice?" Luchia asked Gaito, Gaito shrugged, "I just feel like I should".
Luchia stood up and brushed the sand off and started walking away, Gaito reached out and grabbed her hand, "Want to go for a swim?" he asked smirking at Luchia. "No way! You're the enemy!" she huffed, Gaito looked at her with pleading eyes, "Fine, but if you try anything I'll make you regret it" she said warningly.
Gaito grabbed her hand and ran into the water, Luchia ran behind him laughing. Luchia dived into the water and turned into her mermaid form and swam next to Gaito.
It was actually fun, not that Luchia would admit that until her pearl started glowing signallying Hanon or Rina were in trouble. Luchia reached up to her pearl, "Hanon! Rina!" Luchia went to go find them when Gaito grabbed her hand, "Where are you going?" he asked, "I have to go help Hanon and Rina!" she exclaimed and swam away with Gaito following.
"Hanon, Rina, I've found you!" Luchia called to them, they were already in idol form, "Pink pearl voice!" she chanted and transformed into her idol power up form.
Gaito was watching behind some coral, he smirked, "So that's their power...?" he chuckled and continued watching.
"I'll make you regret you showed up! Pichi Pichi voice, live start!" Luchia winked and sang.

"Love shower pitch, would you like an encore!" They all winked as Eiriu disappeared with the usual, "I'll be back!".
Luchia beamed at Rina and Hanon and laughed, "I'll see you later guys! I'm going to go give Kaito a hint who I am!" Luchia winked and popped back into her mermaid form and swam to the rock she always goes to.
"Nanairo no kaze ni fukarete tooi misaki wo mezashiteta
Yoake mae kikoeta MERODI
Sore wa totemo natsukashii uta..." within the first few words Kaito was there and wading into the shallow water towards her, she smiled at him. "Please hurry Kaito...Please hurry and find me...before I have to go..." she smiled sadly before diving back into the water, her words echoing, "find me, find me, find me".
The next day at school wasn't bad, she was actually starting to enjoy having Gaito around, not that she would admit that anytime soon mind you. It was around recess time when...
"Hey! Give it back!" Luchia screeched as she tried to grabbed the precious pearl from his hands again, "Only if you go on a date with me!" he laughed playfully as she jumped higher and higher, "Fine! Now gimme my pearl!" Luchia pouted as Gaito pulled a small pink pearl from his pocket and dropped it in Luchia's hands. "How'd you get it anyway?" Luchia asked suspiciously as she squinted at him.
"That's for me to know and you to find out" Gaito teased, Luchia glared and turned away and stalked over to Kaito.
"Hey Luchia" Kaito smiled at Luchia, Luchia was fading from the mermaid to her human side. Kaito's smile turned to a frown as standing in Luchia's place was the mermaid. Luchia tilted her head, "What's wrong?" she asked looking at Kaito's shocked face. In Kaito's view, Luchia flashed back to herself and not the mermaid.
"Nothing" Kaito smiled slightly, "Oh Gaito's coming over here, oh joy" Luchia rolled her eyes sarcastically as Gaito stalked over to them. "Hey Kaito" Gaito smirked at Kaito as he grabbed Luchia's hand, "Ew! Don't!" Luchia yanked her hand away and moved away from Gaito by a few inches.
Gaito laughed at Luchia who huffed and crossed her arms, Gaito ruffled Luchia's hair much to Luchia's annoyance. "WHy do you keep doing that? It's like your a second Kaito!, but your HEAPS more annoying" Luchia pouted as she pointed accusaingly at Gaito.
"Sure I am, kid" Gaito muttered under his breath, "I'm not a kid!" Luchia roared as he hit him with her book. Kaito watched the two fighting like a couple and felt a pang of envy.
"Ehh, Luchia?" Kaito asked, Luchia looked up and ceased her punching of Gaito, "Yeah Kaito?", "Want to go somewhere after school?" Kaito asked hopefully, Luchia beamed, "I'd love to!".
Luckily for Kaito and Luchia, the bell rang just after Luchia had confirmed the 'date'
"Yes! C'mon Luchia, let's go!" Kaito grabbed Luchia's hand and started running to wherever Kaito was taking them.
