Me: Hi guys! Chapter 4 is here!

Shizuro: We are entering a new beginning within a few days, right?

Me: Yep, pretty soon. It will be 2015.

Shizuro: Thank you everyone who is reading this story and reviewing and liking it.

Me: Also I do not own Mermaid Melody. It belongs to its respective owners. Just the OCs I own.

And without delay, let Chapter 4 begin!

Chapter 4: The Current and the Former Green Mermaid Princesses meet.

"Bye, guys!" Naoki said.

"You are off to where, mom?" Masahiro said.

"To see my friends in my kingdom in North Atlantic Ocean. Hope there are no sharks this time."

"Be safe dear." Shizuro smiled.

"Thanks and oh would you please clean my room?"

"Certainly, maam." the butler said.

"Well then bye guys." and with that Naoki left.

"Do you think she might catch Hippo by chance, dad?" Masahiro said.

"Lets hope so." Shizuro said.

"I am leaving." Rina said.

"Where and why?" Luchia said.

"To the sea. I have to think of something." and without a goodbye word, she left.

"What's got on Rina? She is acting weird today." Hanon said.

"Probably she had to struggle with the fact that Hamasaki-san gave up on her." Luchia said.

"Hamasaki-san did not dump her. He ALMOST dump her!"

"Sorry."

"I wonder what that 'Mermaid of Love' locket Hamasaki-san wore has to do with him. Any clue, Luchia?"

"No idea."

Naoki swam slowly looking here and there, making sure no sharks were there. With no sharks on sight, she quickly swam her way to the kingdom of the North Atlantic Ocean.

This kingdom has several green lights on it with two mermaid statues. Also the style of the palace is very similar to the palace of the Spanish royal family. Green haired mermaids were swimming here and there when one young mermaid saw Naoki and shouted

"OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! IT'S NAOKI-SAMA!"

Soon other mermaids, young and old, heard it and saw Naoki. They were all happy. Some hugged Naoki, some slapped high fives with her and the others shouted

"Naoki! You came!"

"I am sooo happy to see you, Naoki."

"Naoki Hamasaki, our former mermaid princess, has returned!"

Soon three Naoki's friends came: Hibiki (the mermaid who loves to play the flute), Natsumi (the youngest mermaid who loves to do funny stuff) and Lisa (the mermaid who playfully spies on others). When they saw Naoki, they could hardly express their joy.

"Naoki!" all three said with Hibiki hugging Naoki.

"You came finally!" Natsumi was so happy.

"Why didn't you come earlier?" Lisa said.

"I was going to come. All of a sudden, a shark came out of nowhere and chased me. So I had to returned to the land." Naoki said.

"Shark?! Hope you are okay."

"No, Lisa. I am alright."

All of a sudden, a whale came and when he saw Naoki, he was so happy that he started making cheerful sounds.

"Luna!" Naoki happily said. The whale name Luna rushed towards Naoki and started..uh...rubbing her.

"Luna is so excited that you came. He missed you so much." Hibiki said.

"We missed you too Naoki." Natsumi said.

"What are you talking about? She came on the Summer Green Festival." Lisa said.

"Oh!"

All four of them laughed.

"Anyway, how's everyone? What happened to that Mikeru who I heard that he wanted to rule to the sea world evily?" Naoki said.

"That Mikeru-Fikeru is gone." Hibiki smiled.

"Back to live with the Ancients." Natsumi said.

"Phew!" Naoki sighed in relief.

"Anyway, how's your human life going?" Lisa said.

"Best!" Naoki smiled.

"Can we see your family photo?" Natsumi asked.

"Here it is."

Naomi showed her family photo. Here Shizuro, Masahiro, the butler and herself were playing volleyball with Shizuro and her being in one team and Masahiro and the butler on another team.

"Wow! What's your son's name? His hair is so greenish!" Hibiki squealed.

"That's Masahiro Hamasaki, the boxing champ." Naoki said.

"Who's your husband?" Natsumi said.

"That Shizuro Hamasaki, the karate champ."

"Oh my! So you are a judo champ, he is a karate champ and your son is a boxing champ." Lisa said excited.

"Wow! Bet if any criminals go into your house, they would get butts kicked." Hibiki laughed.

"You can say that again." Naoki smiled.

"And that butler?" Natsumi said.

"We treat the butler as a friend."

"That's nice." Lisa smiled.

"Anyway I wonder who succeeded me. Do you guys know?"

"The one who succeed you is Rina Tôin." Lisa said.

"She also came to Summer Green Festival." Hibiki said.

"She did?!" Naoki was surprised.

"Yeah but for a short while." Natsumi said.

"I could have met her but we were so caught with ourselves that I did not even see her." Naoki laughed.

"But she has been in the land for a long time." Hibiki said.

"Could she be in a relation with your son?" Lisa said.

"How should I know?" Naoki asked.

"I just guessed."

"Anyway, let's have some fun, shall we?"

"YEAH!" all of them said with the whale making happy sounds.

Rina was sitting on the rock, thinking about herself. Her thoughts were in so many things: Masahiro's locket that she saw on T.V., His family history in which she never knew about and the way she confessed to him.

"Masahiro, If only I could know whether we are destined to be in love with each other." Rina said to herself. After a brief pause, she sang this:

"Itsuka, konna hi ga kuru to yokan shita..?

Koi ni tomadou kokoro yurete yurete itai hodo..

Daremo, kidzukanai fukai kanashimi mo

Naze ka tsutawatte shimau

Marude saiai no hito no you ni

"Thanks for the fun guys! I hope to see you soon." Naoki smiled.

"Hope you come back again. Be safe." Lisa smiled.

"I will. Bye, everyone! Take care, Luna!"

And with that, she said goodbye to her friends and swam back to her home. Suddenly, she heard something beautiful. A beautiful song.

"What is this song? It's so beautiful. Even more better. Better follow it." Naoki thought and with that, she followed the tune of the song.

Watashi to iu chiisa na hoshi

Hito shizuku no ai ga mebaeta

Ushinau mono osorete wa tatakaenai

Tsuki ni inori hoshi ni inori

Yuku beki michi mune ni kizamu

Namida ga atsuku naru wake wa..

Unmei no Piece of Love

Meguriaeta Piece of Heart"

"That's a beautiful song." a voice came.

Rina suddenly panicked. Could it be Masahiro who was looking at her all along? Fearing the worst consequences, she slowly turned her head. Luckily, it isn't Masahiro. It was another mermaid looking at her (which is actually Naoki).

"That song is so beautiful. Did you make this song? I couldn't resist it." Naoki said.

"Uh yeah, it's my song, dedicating to my loved one." Rina said sadly.

"But then why the tears? You look so sad."

"It's because within a few weeks, I will have to leave him forever."

"Oh! I see. I pity you."

"Thank..."

Before Rina could say anything, she suddenly noticed that Naoki had the same shell locket she had.

"Uh? Why is your locket the same as mine?" Rina asked.

Then it was Naoki's turn to be surprised.

"Wait a second, who are you then?" Naoki said.

"I am Rina Toin, Mermaid Princess of the North Atlantic ocean and the holder of the green pearl."

Naoki was mouth-opened. She is the current mermaid princess?!

"That must mean you have succeeded me!' Naoki said.

"I think so. Your shell locket is the same as mine. But then who are you?." Rina said.

"I am Naoki, former Mermaid Princess of the North Atlantic Ocean and the former holder of the green pearl." Naoki said.

"So that means..."

"Rina!"

"Naoki!"

They then embraced each other. They could hardly believe their luck. The former and the current green mermaid princess meet each other.

"Were you there in the Summer Green Festival?" Naoki asked.

"I was but I had to leave."

"I was also there but I was so caught up with my friends that I couldn't see you."

Both of them laughed.

"What are you doing here anyway?" Rina asked.

"I was returning home but I was so caught up with your tune that I decided to listen to it." Naoki said.

"Oh so you got married?"

"Yep and we have a son."

"Oh so what's his name?"

Hold your breathe folks! Because Naoki's reply will erase Rina's fears forever.

"My son's name is Masahiro Hamasaki." Naoki said.

When Rina heard it, she was stunned. However, her face was slowly changing to being a happy face. Also, tears started coming down from her eyes. Not sad tears, but happy tears.

"Really?" Rina said slowly and happily with tears on her eyes.

The song that Rina sang is called 'Piece of Love.'

Me: There you go. HAPPY NEW YEAR people!

Shizuro *sweat dropped*: Why are you saying happy new year so early?

Me: Next Chapter will be a bit long one. I might not be able to publish the next chapter before the Happy New Year. Should I do that, it will be a Really Happy New Year! ;)

Shizuro: Well then, so Chapter 5 will be coming soon. Probably after the New Year. Please Review and like this story.

Me: Untill then...

Me and Shizuro: HAPPY NEW YEAR!
