Chapter 8: Kiss the Girl:

Pearl's POV:

I've been here a while, but so far, there hasn't been anything! Except for a lack of trust from Kuromi and stories from Kuroki. But nothing from Yoi. Yoi and I were then getting a boat.

Ela's POV:

I was still following them. I had to know for sure.

Pearl's POV:

As I was getting ready, I saw Porcus and Slippery.

"Anything yet," asks Slippery.

"Nothing," says Porcus, "we need to set the mood."

"A-ha!" It was Ela. "Pearl, it is you! Those two wouldn't just talk to anyone! How did you do this?"

. . .

Through charades, I had to explain to Ela.

"So, if he kisses you, you get to stay up here forever, but if he doesn't, you lose your soul to a water demon who rules Atlantis?" I nodded. "And there was something about monkeys on the Moon." I shook my head at that one. "Okay, how can I help?"

. . .

Yoi and I were having our boat ride.

Ela's POV:

Pearl's little friend gives me a thing. It was kind of like a violin. I then realized I was supposed to play romantic music. This should be good.

Pearl's POV:

Porcus: First we got to create the mood.
Percussion.
Ela: Strings.
Slippery: Winds.
Porcus: Words.

There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
but there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
you wanna kiss the girl

Yoi: I do not think we are alone!

(Pearl shakes her head no, but she really does know that Porcus is helping her)

Porcus/Ela/Slippery: Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
Possible she want you too
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl
Porcus: Sing with me, now

Porcus/Ela/Slippery: Sha-la-la-la-la-la
My, oh, my!
Look like the boy too shy
He ain't gonna kiss the girl

Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Ain't that sad?
Ain't it a shame? Too bad
Porcus: He gonna miss the girl

Yoi: It occurs to me I do not know your name. I wish I knew what it was. Let me guess. Is it Megumi.

(Pearl shakes her head no)

Yoi: Okay not Megumi. Is it Chitose. Reiko.

Ela: Pearl... Her name is Pearl!

(Ela hides)

Yoi: Pearl?

(Pearl nods)

Yoi: So, I guess the right name after all! Then you are Pearl!

Porcus/Ela/Slippery: Now's your moment (Guppies: Ya, ya, ya)
Floating in a blue lagoon (Guppies: Ya, ya, ya)
Boy, you better do it soon
No time will be better (Guppies: Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya)
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word
Until ya kiss the girl

Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don't be scared (Guppies: Sha-la-la-la-la-la)
You got the mood prepared (Guppies: Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya)
Go on and kiss the girl (Guppies: Whoa, whoa)

Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You wanna kiss the girl (Guppies: Whoa, whoa)

Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Float along
And listen to the song
The song say kiss the girl (Guppies: Whoa, whoa)

Sha-la-la-la-la
The music play
Do what the music say
You gotta kiss the girl

Kiss the girl
Ela: You got to...
Porcus/Chorus: Kiss the girl
Slippery: You want to...
Porcus/Chorus: Kiss the girl
Ela/Slippery: Go on...
Porcus/Chorus: Kiss the girl
Porcus: Go on and...
Porcus/Chorus: Kiss the gggggggggiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrlllllllll!!!

Just as I was finally going to get that kiss, something knocks our boat over.

Bai Tza's POV:

"Good work, Tiburón," I said, "That was close! Too close! The clever little minx! She's better than I thought. They'll be kissing before sunset! Well, it looks like I'll have to take matters into my own claws." I take a look at the young prince's mind and sees his memories and I found something that could be useful. I then used Pearl's voice.
