Chapter 1: The First Meeting

Alice's POV

We finally got on the plane, and were finding our seats.

After this flight, we would be ready to meet our friends, Melody and Nicky, who went to Japan first due to Nicky's "problem" last year.

Since Ariel had to finish up with her training with King Triton, and I had to finish working on a project for my parents, we both stayed behind.

By the way,my name is Alice. I am 14 years old, and the second princess to Max and Rowena Rosaria of the Transylvanian royal family, the strongest Vampire clan.

Yes, I am a vampire, but I hate blood. The only time I ever suck blood is when I have no other choice or to control my enemy.

Anyway, I have super speed, super hearing, and all those other "awesome" vampire powers due to my strong vampire heritage. Additionally, I have fire and sonic sound alices.

Ariel is a mermaid , she's 15, and the oldest princess to King Triton and Queen Coral of the Mermaiden royal family, the strongest mermaid clan.

She is a mermaid who can transform, very intelligent, and have strong language skills.

Though she can be a klutz, so sometimes she's very troublesome. Ariel has the water, healing and infliction alice.

After we boarded the plane and were getting ready for the overnight flight, Ariel took out her 'Learn Japanese words with English translation' book and began to jot down notes of important Japanese words since the both of us don't know Japanese very well.

Nicky and Melody do, because they lived there before. I think I'll just leave the language learning to her, since she is good with languages and can speak a lot of languages fluently. I swear, it's probably one of her magic powers or something. Maybe...?

Well, since I will leave Japanese translations to her , I took out a sketchbook and pencil with an eraser. Then I started to think of what to draw.

Yep, I love to draw. It's like, my favorite thing to do, other than surfing the Internet and listening to music.

Just as I looked up to find some inspiration, I saw two very cute-looking boys sitting across the aisle from us. "Hey,they're cute," I whispered to Ariel,who looked up at them and nodded in agreement .

" Yeah! Especially that smart-looking guy with black hair." she whispered back, smiling .

"For me, I like the cool guy with chestnut hair. He's really cute! " I smiled back at her as we both softly giggle and went back to our work.

Yuuchiro's POV

We had just boarded the plane, and what a relief that we did.

Yukito and I hoisted our luggage bags up in the overhead compartment.

Since I had sharp hearing due to my training, I could hear someone whispering about us.

I pretended to nonchalantly look around the plane and saw a pretty cute girl whispering to her friend.

I acted as if nothing had happened and turned back around. As we sat down, I told Yukito about what happened.

He laughed quietly and we both looked over at the girls. I look at the girl who whispered about us to her friend .

She is pretty and adorable, with beautiful chestnut red hair.

I caught her eye, but I just stared at her while she looked back, smiling and awkwardly going back to her book with her sketch.

Huh, her smile is actually pretty nice. I grinned as I took out my iPod, made myself more comfortable in my chair, and started to listen to some music that went well with the sounds the Fruit Ninja* game I was playing made.

Time skip to 14 hours later

Normal POV

The aircraft was dark, with some asleep , and some who had just woken up for breakfast.

Outside the closed window, if someone were to open it, their eyes were bound to hurt from the blinding lights from the sunrise outside.

Back to the story, our two girls and two guys were still fast asleep.

Suddenly there was a click. The flight pilot is on the speaker: " Ladies and Gentlemen, good morning.

We will be arriving at the Narita International Airport in 30 minutes.

The weather is clear, and the temperature is 60 degrees Celsius .

The local time in Japan is 6 o'clock .

Thank you for choosing this airline, and I hoped that you enjoyed your flight. " he paused and then added "flight attendants, get ready for landing." Click.

Ariel's POV

"We will be arriving at the Narita International Airport in 30 minutes..." the pilot said as I woke up.

I turned around and saw Alice half-awake. She is quite funny when she wakes up.

Her eyes were closed as she rubbed them, and with her hand she was searching for something .

A water bottle maybe? I softly laughed, but it wasn't quiet enough for her.

Since she has super hearing, she heard it even though she's half-asleep, and she opened her eyes to glare at me. "What are you laughing at?" she asked as her eyes slowly closed again after a while.

"Nothing~ I just thought of something funny. Anyway, want some breakfast?" I replied innocently, smoothly switching the subject.

"...No thanks...I still want to sleep..." she mumbled in a tired voice.

"I think I have jet lag" she added rubbing her eyes, awake but still looking tired

."Okay, I'll save it for you to eat later," I said softly as she thanked me. I gathered my things and made sure that everything was in place.

Alice checked her stuff too, and at the thought that we are going to see Melody and Nicky, we began to get excited.

Her eyes started to brighten as she asked excitedly "Hey, where do you want to go first?"

"I'm not sure,let's just go to Nicky's house and decide with them." I replied, and she nodded in agreement.

She yawned as she said " I think I'll go back to sleep now. Wake me up later, please," a couple seconds later she added "Thanks." yawning again as she lazily went back to sleep.
