Ep.#03: Underwater Melody
Written by: CS-Masyet

Tide: Wakes up. Hm...?
Brooke: Sleeping next to Tide. Zzz...
Tide: Gets out of bed. W-wha! What are you doing in my bed?!?
Brooke: Wakes up. Huh...? Oh, morning Tide!
Tide (angry): Don't "morning Tide" me! Why were you sleeping in my bed?
Brooke: I was lonely...
Tide: That doesn't mean that it's okay!
Brooke: Your mom said it was okay...
Tide: (You can't be serious...)
Mom: Comes in. Did you two sleep well? Breakfast's ready!
Tide/Brooke: Go into the kitchen.

Meanwhile, at Gorudo Aquacorp (where the sucking machine is)...

Gorudo: Wonderful... The Sea Sprites have been captured, and the guise of stealing whales is going perfectly... Now all I need to do is find the Sea Crystal and I'll gain total command of the sea!
Man: Um... father...
Gorudo: Shirubo; what is it? Have you found the Sea Crystal yet?
Shirubo: No, not yet...
Gorudo (angry): Then what are you doing here?!? Go find it!
Shirubo: But I have something important to tell you...
Gorudo: What is it?
Shirubo: Some boy put back some of the whales that we left out of the water...
Gorudo: Then take them back out, you fool!
Shirubo: Yes, father... Leaves.
Gorudo: Jeez, how troublesome... And I was going to refill the lake too...

Back at the shack...

Brooke: At the table with Tide. What are these?
Tide: They're waffles.
Brooke: "Waffles"? Funny name! Eats one. Tastes weird, too...
Tide: You're supposed to put syrup on them first...
Brooke: "Syrup"?
Tide: *sigh* (Am I going to have to teach her about every kind of food...?) They both finish eating.
Brooke: Hey Tide, let's go to the beach!
Tide: Sure, okay...
Brooke: Grabs Tide's arm and runs outside to the water.
Tide: W-wait a sec...!
Brooke: Takes off her clothes.
Tide (blushing): W-what are you...?!?
Brooke: Jumps into the water.
Tide: Huh?
Brooke: Pokes her head out of the water. Come on, Tide!
Tide: (Oh, she's in Sea Sprite form now...)
Brooke: Pulls Tide into the water.
Tide: Yah! Gets into the water. Could you at least warn me fir-...
Brooke: Kisses him.
Tide (blushing): A-again?
Brooke: So you can breathe.
Tide: But you said you just had to touch me for me to breathe...
Brooke (blushing): But I wanted to kiss you...
Tide: *sweatdrop* ...
Brooke: Heehee, let's go! Grabs Tide's arm and swims deeper down.
Tide: Where are we going?
Brooke: You'll see! *giggle* Brings him to a giant ring of coral.
Tide: What is this place?
Brooke: Stay here and listen. Swims to the center of the ring.
Tide: Huh?
Brooke: Starts singing.
Tide: The ground starts glowing. W-what the?!?
Brooke: ♪ I used to live happily with my family under the sea ♪
♪ But then they all disappeared; where could they be? ♪
♪ I was the only one left; I was so lonely ♪
Tide: W-wow... Fish swim near Brooke.
Brooke: ♪ But then you came, right to me ♪
♪ Thank you so much, for keeping me company ♪
♪ I love you, Tide~y ♪
Tide (blushing): E-eh? (That's why she likes me so much? Because she's lonely?)
Brooke: Stops singing. Tide~y! Hugs him. Did you like my song?
Tide: U-um, yeah... I did...
Brooke: Yay! I'm so happy! Hugs him tighter.
Tide: Y-you're hurting me...
Brooke: Let's go back up now.
Tide: Okay. Goes back to the shack with Brooke.
Mom: There you two are! Tide, why are you all wet?
Tide: We went swimming.
Mom: Then why isn't Brooke wet?
Tide: Huh? I guess her clothes dried faster...
Mom: *sigh* I'll go get you a towel... Leaves the room.
Brooke: Tide, why don't you just absorb the water? That's what I did.
Tide: Maybe Sea Sprites can do that, but I can't!
Brooke: Oh, humans can't absorb water...? Humans are stranger then I thought...
Tide: (Who's calling who strange...?)

Meanwhile, at Gorudo Aquacorp...

Shirubo: Father!
Gorudo: What is it now?!? You'd better have the Sea Crystal this time!
Shirubo: No, but I saw something that might of been it...
Gorudo: Come again...?
Shirubo: I was getting whales out of the water, when all of a sudden the lake started to glow! All the fish swam to the light, too! I came back because I thought you might know what that was...
Gorudo: That's strange... It couldn't be... (Is there still one left...?)
