Wishing on a Crystal
Summer Mym: Fasten that last pesky strap, and...done! I've truly outdone myself, I must say.
Summer Mym: At long last, my darling and I can embark on a (swim)suitably steamy seaside tryst!
Summer Mym: He's going to be smitten, charmed, AND enraptured, mark my words.
Summer Prince: Mym, what say you we take a walk? Just the two of us. I want you in that swimsuit all to myself.
Summer Mym: Oh, to dream. He would never say something like that.
Summer Mym: I mean, sure, we've gotten closer, but...
Summer Mym: You really know how to spoil a girl rotten, darling. I'm so happy to be spending time together like this.
Euden: My pleasure. After all, you always do so much for us.
Summer Mym: What? Say, darling...how exactly do you feel about me?
Euden: I value you as a dear comrade, of course.
Summer Mym: That's not what I mean! I'll ask you straight-out, then. Do you like me?
Euden: Of course I like you.
Summer Mym: Oh, I just KNEW you did! That's why you're here on this date—
Euden: And Elisanne and Ranzal...and everyone in the Halidom. You're all wonderful people.
Summer Mym: (AAARGH, that's NOT what I mean!)
Summer Mym: My darling is even more thick-headed in romance than I am, and I'm a DRAGON.
Summer Mym: Despite all I do to get his attention, it's like he's not even seeing me that way at all... Confidence...depleting...
Summer Mym: Luckily for me, I've got a hydrodynamic trump card up my sleeve. He's going to do a TRIPLE-take when he sees this fit!
Summer Mym: There's even a perfect event to set the mood happening on the beach. Jackpot.
Summer Mym: Let's see. According to the pamphlet I got from the cafe...
Summer Mym: "At some point, crystals containing sea breeze mana took on the moniker of 'wishing crystals.'"
Summer Mym: "These desire-granting crystals float in the air when wishes are made upon them."
Summer Mym: Eeeee! So romantic!
Summer Mym: OK, got that out of my system. I'm off to see my dar—
???: Heeeelp!
Summer Mym: What's going on?
Faerie: Eeeeek!
Summer Mym: Take THIS!
Summer Mym: Whew. You okay? ...Hey, wait, you're a faerie!
Faerie: And you're...a dragon? I can't believe you saved me.
Summer Mym: After that shriek of yours, how could I not?
Summer Mym: I can't say I put "save a faerie in peril" on my bingo card for today. What brings you here?
Faerie: First, let me say thank you. I've come to this beach to make a wishing crystal.
Summer Mym: Oh, so we're here for the same reason. Didn't know faeries were into this too.
Faerie: I created the event myself, so I would sure hope so.
Summer Mym: Right, right, you created—wait, WHAT?!
Summer Mym: Are you telling me this is all your doing?
Faerie: More or less.
Summer Mym: Even the floating crystals?
Faerie: Those are replicas humans made with sea breeze crystals. They're just an imitation of the real ones that I create.
Faerie: They only float because of the mana they're made with. You don't actually have to wish on them; you need only warm them in your hand a little, and off they go.
Summer Mym: Well, that's one illusion officially shattered. *sigh* So much for my dream.
Faerie: No need to be so despondent. I want to collect strong wishes, you see...
Faerie: And the wishing crystal is something I originally made in order to amplify faerie power.
Faerie: The more fervent the desire, the greater the resultant energy. I collect that in the crystals, and then make its power my own.
Summer Mym: Ah. So that's why you put this event together—to bring supplicants in droves.
Faerie: That's the idea. You're as sharp as you are strong.
Faerie: You know what? I like you. You helped me out, so here. Let me give you a freshly made crystal as thanks.
Summer Mym: Not necessary. I'm a dragon, so I don't have much use for a little trinket like that.
Faerie: But weren't you just bemoaning the fact that you have a dream going unfulfilled?
Faerie: True, nothing will happen if you make a wish on a replica crystal...
Faerie: But the real deal? That actually WILL grant your heart's desire.
Summer Mym: It...will?
Faerie: That's right. Now here, don't be shy! Take the darn thing already.
Faerie: I'll be in this cave for a while, so come let me know when your wish gets granted. Looking forward to the good news!
Summer Mym: Hey, wait! Sheesh... What a pushy faerie.
Summer Mym: Well, I've got my little magic ticket here, so I may as well make use of it. I wish...
Summer Mym: ...that my darling would have eyes only for me.
Summer Mym: Huh?! The crystal disappeared!
Summer Mym: There's no way it could've been that easy. ...Could it?
Summer Mym: You know what, never mind. I have somewhere to be.
Summer Mym: Aha, there they are. Hi, everyone! Sorry to keep you all waaaiting!
Elisanne: You certainly took your time Mym. The barbecue is already—ngh?!
Elisanne: Mym, run! Quickly! The sea is—
Summer Mym: Huh?
Summer Prince: Mym, watch out!
Summer Mym: (Where'd a giant wave like this come from all of a sudden?! Ow ow ow...)
Summer Mym: (Not good... Leg cramping... Can't breathe...)
???: Mym! MYM! Are you all right?!
Summer Mym: Elisanne? What...happened to me?
Elisanne: That enormous wave crashed ashore and nearly drowned you. I'm so relieved you're okay.
Summer Mym: I see. Thank you for saving—
Summer Luca: Euden! Come on, man, wake up!
Summer Prince: ......
Summer Mym: Wait. What's going on? Why is he...?
Summer Ranzal: He ran into the water to save ya, and ended up goin' under too...
Summer Mym: No... Darling! DARLING!
Summer Prince: ......
Summer Mym: This is all my fault. I'm so sorry. Please, my love, open your eyes!
Summer Prince: *cough* *splutter* Mym...?
Summer Mym: Oh, what a relief! You're awake!
Summer Cleo: Are you all right, Euden?
Summer Prince: Er, I'm fine, but... Um...
Summer Cleo: But what?
Summer Prince: Sorry, uh... Who are you all again?
Everyone: WHAT?!
