Lano: "No, I didn't."
Kai: "Maybe we should welcome them to the Islands?"
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51985578692_c9284e5797_b.jpg Kai: "I heard that they are quite the catch. I was thinking of asking one of them out on a date."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986585616_4dee6c0088_b.jpg Tero came over to help his brother. "What are you two planning this tide?"
Kai: "There are three mermaids, so I think we should all try our luck."
Tero: "That's not a bad idea. I'm in."
Lano: "I'm in."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986585571_a29f5b2a94_b.jpg Tero: "But first, we need to finish this project."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51985580467_ae5c328235_b.jpg While the trips left for school and prepared for their attempts at winning the hearts of three mermaids, Lilliana read Nani to sleep.
Nani gave her mom the stink eye and thought: "I still feel hurt. I don't want... you... reading me... I'm so tired..."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986585506_0da23a5107_b.jpg Nani thought: "That's ridiculous. Rex Trek never went into space..."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986648233_ba9b94ae20_b.jpg Nani thought: "I'm actually going to sleep, so shameless."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986876259_71908056ac_b.jpg Kai, and the oldest triplet, made the first move. He went for a swim with Sera and got to know her. To Kai, Sera was a beautiful mermaid and he learned that she loved dogs.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986585451_f3726fe2fb_b.jpg Feeling confident, Kai showed off his muscles. Sera was impressed.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51985580342_7a58ca9881_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986876189_3df3334629_b.jpg After a bit of flirting, Kai had his first kiss with Sera.

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51985580277_a00650d763_b.jpg Lyra met a cute boy next door, but she was taking things slower than her older brothers.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986876084_5a2d32b6a8_b.jpg She complimented his appearance and Zalen showed off his outfit with pride.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986648033_5f6121fb7c_h.jpg Lyra: "Are you... Are you, with someone?"
Zalen: "No."
Lyra: "Would you want... Would you want to swim with me some day?"
Zalen: "I'd love to!"
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986648028_4dee4d1a5a_h.jpg Tero came home with a mood swing. He was too stressed to play with his emotions.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986876034_c0c1d78f4a_b.jpg Fortunately, he could listen to his ear buds in the sea. He took refuge in his music.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986585221_10038b88f3_b.jpg Lano, the middle triplet, introduced himself to another one of the three mermaids, Maia.
Lano: "How are you this fine day?"
Maia chuckled. Lano exaggerated his formal introduction.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986585201_358b5ca768_b.jpg To his relief, she caught onto his sense of humor.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986647973_29d541dcb3_b.jpg Lano asked Maia onto a date and they went to the Triton Beach Karaoke bar, a regular hangout for merfolk.
While on his date with Maia, Arihi Zalrian came over to interrupt their date. Lano kept the date interesting by telling a funny story.
"And that's when the Underwater Unicorns of the Sea met the Magical Liopleurodon."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51987141900_34eaa43989_b.jpg "Charlie, the Narwhal, couldn't commit to the Liopleurodon. He couldn't commit to anything!"
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51987141880_1a965a6d25_b.jpg "That was until he learned the value of conservation and worked with the Liopleurodon to clean up the sea."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51985580122_e73740337e_b.jpg Arihi, who was a loner and didn't really want to socialize, left. Lano took this moment to discuss the Meaning of Death. A morbid topic to discuss, but Life was overrated anyways.
Lano: "Do humans really die, or are they just ghosts in a physical form?"
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986647943_dc800eb636_b.jpg Maia: "They are ghosts in physical form of course."
Lano: "I thought so too!"
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986647908_9957b5f8f5_b.jpg After discussing the Meaning of Death, Lano made a move. The merboy extended his arm over Maia's shoulders.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986585066_8303c09738_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986647888_2ab5c6f7fe_b.jpg The move was a success!
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986647878_a6bf243f82_b.jpg Of course, he couldn't pull her close forever. So, the young merman pulled his arm away.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986647868_20a026a251_b.jpg The couple took their date into the sea, and Lano playfully splashed Maia.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51985579992_8b64e6de12_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986875854_41c613899c_b.jpg And, she splashed him back.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51987141740_06f6f23041_b.jpg With the date going so well, Lano made a bold pick-up line.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51987141730_179916bc12_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51987141715_0d6c2de2a9_b.jpg On a small island, the couple had their first kiss.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986647723_79859624cb_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986584926_6c686d5489_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51985579912_83351b5a5c_b.jpg The kiss went well, so the couple kissed in the water.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986584891_6602c74c08_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986647678_a4d4ab4a84_b.jpg With the date near its end, Lano talked about the world beneath the waves. Underwater mountains and volcanoes, kelp forests, the desert like open ocean, tropical coral reefs, sea caves, sea grass meadows, and so much more. It was his inspiration for art.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986584876_d0914ac761_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51987141575_bb435d221f_b.jpg The following day, Harvest arrived. The Kealoha's tried to appease the gnomes. Lyra got zapped pleading for forgiveness.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986875744_2f07be5a2d_b.jpg It was exciting!
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51985579822_52b2f94cea_b.jpg Kai then proceeded to plead for forgiveness with his brothers lining up to help if they need to.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986584791_2d2de3694e_b.jpg Fortunately, the Gnome accepted the plea from Kai.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986647583_74f069aa76_b.jpg By the end of the week, Tero, the youngest triplet, tried his luck with Jasmin, the third mermaid.
Tero: "Will you be the Colada in my Pina Colada?"
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51987141470_ebf9833a3a_b.jpg Surprisingly that worked, and Tero took Jasmin on a date. Tero didn't have Kai's Flirty Confidence and Lano's Humor, so he took the date slow and steady. It ended in success and his first kiss.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986647493_271810bdf5_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986647483_49d03b4f94_b.jpg After his first kiss, Tero did get a bit flirty.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51987141450_cba37c63ed_b.jpg When he struck a pose, Jasmin complimented his appearance which only boosted his confidence.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51986584666_0bd3b3f9f4_b.jpg And, finally, the high maintenance toddler aged up! Maybe she'll get over feeling hurt after some bad potty training advice.
