Disclaimer: I do not own Mermaid Melody only my OCs
After school Luchia, Hanon, and Rina met me at the school gates. "Come with me." I said. "I need to ask you something." I dragged them down to a beach inlet. After making sure no one was around I faced them. "Are you mermaids?" I asked. The looked shocked. Luchia looked like she was going to say yes, but Hanon spoke. "Mermaids? Are you feeling okay?" she asked nervously. "There's no need to hide it." I smiled. "I'm one too." I revealed my black pendant and dove into the water. Immediately I transformed. My hair grew longer and arranged itself into two lower pigtail with gold bands, my eyes turned metallic gold, my earring were gold hoops with black spiral shell strung on them. I had a black seashell bra trimmed with gold, and a shimmering black tail with gold beads strung around it.
"Ehhhhh? So, so KAWAIIIIIIII!" Shouted Hanon. "Hanon, be quiet!" said Rina. "You'll call attention!" The three jumped into the water and also transformed. They became mermaids of the color of their pendants. "What kingdom are you from?" asked Luchia. I smiled. "I'm from the Caribbean sea." I said. "More importantly," said Hanon. "Why did you come to the surface?" "Well… to be honest… I'm looking for a boy I met a couple years ago…"
Flashback
It was around midnight when I met HIM.
I was 11 years old and I sneaked out of the castle to visit my secret cove by a lighthouse. I loved to sit on this one rock and gaze out over the horizon singing. That day, however, I closed my eyes and sang.
Yume no owari o negau no wa naze?
Arehateta basho ni mo hana wa saku no ni
Nanairo no kaze nanairo no sora
Kibou wa sekai ni afureteru no ni
Machigaeta, yume o miteta dake..
Ai no arika ya kioku no nazo to
Tsukisasaru tsumetai kodoku ni
Anata wa kurushindeta no
*Junpaku no..
Tsubasa o yasumete yasashiku nemutte
"Ikitai" to negai umareta deshou? Saa!
Kibou no kane oto saigo no uta o ima..
Tsuyoi mono dake no sekai janai kara.
Listen to my love kono uta o..
I was so involved with my song that I didn't notice a ship had approached. A lone boy was out on the deck. "Who are you?" he cried out. He could hardly see me. I immediately stopped singing. Mother and Father warned me never to come in contact with a human. "Please keep singing!" the boy pleaded. "Your voice is the prettiest I've ever heard!" Hearing these words I swam closer to the boat and sang
Aoi hitomi no oku ni kakushita
Kowaresou ni fukaku kirei na kokoro
Yabureta sora ni nagashita namida
Kanashimi no subete kesanakute ii
Machigaeta yume o, owarasete..
Subete o wasure hadaka de nemutte
Atarashii yume ga yadoru koro
Anata wa jiyuu ni nareru
Junpaku no..
Kokoro o agetai massugu mitsumete
Shinjitsu wa totemo yasashii kiseki nee
Kokoro o azukete saisho no KISU o shite..
"Nanika" ga tsutawaru shunkan no kodou
Listen to my heart sono mune ni..
When I finally reached the ship the boy gazed down on me. "You're a mermaid?" he gasped. I suddenly realized I had gotten too close and I started to back away. "Wait don't go!" cried the boy. "I promise I won't tell any one about you! What's your name?" "I'm Eponine." I said. "That's a pretty name," said the boy. "I'm Sora." He had black hair and hazel eyes he looked about 12. His eyes lit up. "Do you want to sing together?" I nodded and smiled.
I had taught him the first verse and chorus of the song "Beautiful Wish" when suddenly the boat collided with a large rock and the boy was flown off the ship into the water, he would have been flown into the rocks if I hadn't caught him in mid-air. I dragged him to my secret cove, but he wouldn't wake up. I started crying and I hugged him hoping he would stay alive. As I hugged him his eyes fluttered open. "Eponine…" I heard him whisper. I sang the next verse of "Beautiful Wish" for him. He was still breathing so I knew he was still alive.
Suddenly I heard a shout. "Sora-kun? Where are you?" I kissed him, dove into the water, and started slapping my tail against the waves causing splashes until someone found him. As they carried him away, he looked at me and I heard him whisper "Find me at Umachi beach… "
"And here I am!" I said cheerfully. "Wow… that's such a sad story." Said Hanon. "It kind of sounds like the story of Kaito and I…"said Luchia. "Speaking Kaito, what's your relationship with him?" I asked. "Well… I'm his girlfriend." Said Luchia blushing. I sighed. "I knew it was something like that… " I said "He better watch out because if he does something that makes you cry, I swear, I will send him to the moon." Hanon laughed. "You seem to really dislike Kaito, just like Rina!" she giggled. I high fived Rina.
