There was so much cute within the last two chapters, I don't even know where to start! I will go back and leave a review on that one soon. :3
This. Was. So. Cute! Their interactions were just so askkad;lfsdlak. I can't even think of coherent words. Tom and Bill, Martha, the bathroom, the dog, all of it.
I adore Martha. She is such a sweet and caring lady. Not to mention that I always have a soft spot for maternal type characters. It comes as no surprise that she would have an instant fondness to Bill.
Bill. Biiiiiilllllll! His cuteness in this chapter is so overwhelming I can't even begin. His newness to everything is so unbearably endearing I had to re-read the parts in the bathroom several times. Him blowing the bubbles around, ahhh! I don't do it often, but I literally felt as though I was going to spaz around from the cuteness of it.
Tom's sweetness cannot be ignored, either. The way he cared for Bill, with so much affection, it made my heart swell. That he cares about Bill is already apparent. I'm wondering what it will be to make him realize that there is more to it than that.
The one thing I am not looking forward to is Katy's re-appearance. I am hoping that crab-stav (who I adore!) will appear and pinch one of her fingers off or something.
This was exactly what I needed to read today.
Author's Response: I told you it would help, didn't I? Glad it did <3
Bill is the perfect type to make old ladies aweeeee all over, he's bond to get lots and lots of cookies throughout the whole fic xD
And prince Tomi... Well, he's the hero, isn't he? And he's never seen anyone that cute before; being used to dealing with the demon also helps with it...
And I can also tell you crab-stav will be back soon, so cheers :3

I know I already left a review for this, but that was at the start of the chapter. I was worried I wouldn't be in the mood for fluff, but this is just fantastic.
Author's Response: Thank you, my dear <3 My fluff is never the lovey dovey boring kind, don't worry. That also bores me, so I try my best to keep it interesting xD

OMDL I am CRYING with laughter right now @ this "In the deepest of all aquatic caverns, at an area considered pretty much the slums of the ocean, lurked a being who had, long ago, been confined to limbo for his treacheries and evil deeds: the sea wizard, Bushido. The biggest, grumpiest, most envious octopus one could ever imagine; who was constantly fueled by his obsession of taking David’s place and become the supreme ruler of all marine fauna and flora." Bushido...I love this so much. The characterization is so perfect.
Author's Response: HE FITS SO WELL AS THE BAD GUY, DOESN'T HE? xD

This is pretty fricken hilarious, I must say.
Author's Response: It's meant to give my poor readers a break from the major angst that is Color of pomegranate xD
Date: 08/02/11 12:33 pm Title: Part of your world
Aaww Tom the prince charming :) Too bad Bill lost his voice, or else it would be interesting to see what he would say to Tom. How is he going to communicate with him, make him fall in love and get a kiss? Bushido can't keep Bill's voice!
Looking forward to the next chapter, for some Bill-Tom interaction!
Author's Response: You shall get the replies to all of those questions soon ;)
Thank you for reviewing and commenting~

It was elementary my dear Watson. Its also a pain in the ass sometimes, noticing things that other people miss. Its a curse
Author's Response: Oh how I know what you mean... I have an eye for detail, as well. And it can get really frustrating when you notice something that seems really obvious and everyone else is like "...wat". Double kudos for you :)

Really interesting chapter as usual! I can't wait to read about how they're gonna get along an all... and 3 days really isn't long! Yay for Katy-free moment! lol
Author's Response: No one missed her, I'm sure xD
Thank you for the appreciation, as usual <3

i dont liek Katy! lol dont let her come back xD
I loved this chapter o: I wonder how he could understand Bill tho o.o
Author's Response: She has to, she's part of the bad guys too xD
Thank you for taking the time to read and review :)

Wow, I really didn't see Bushido as the sea-wizard coming. It worked really well though, and I like how you tied Bill's voice to his power too. Except, how can he understand Gusti now, and if Bushido didn't have the power before taking Bill's, how was he able to communicate with the sharks?
I'm glad we got to see Gusti though! He was so cute all hiding in Andi's shell.
That whole scene on the beach was hilarious'y akward. I love how Ruff is so affectionate. I snorted soda out of my nose(highly unreccomended) when I saw the thing about him following sea life into the waves.
I am really dreading the return of Katy. I cannot see her taking well to Bill at all. Hes too pretty, and shes shallow enough to dislike him on his lack of voice alone, the beauty would just nudge it into hate. Then again, if she thinks he is royalty... no,no she will stll hate him
Keep up the fantastically amazing work! I'm really looking forward to seeing more soon! *huggles*
Author's Response: Ohhh smart one, you were the only one so far questioning it x] Well, you see, being the bad guy, Bushido automatically has the power to communicate with other bad guys (don't get me wrong, though - I LOVE octopuses and, especially, I adore great whites, they're among my favorite animals). He just needs Bill's voice in order to rule over the "good" people like fishies and dolphins. As for Gustav... Yeah, that one was forced but I needed someone to convey Bill's name to Tom lol
rofl I'm very sorry for your nose, I didn't intend any damage upon it and I hope it's recovered by now. It'll need need for the upcoming fluff ;D
As for Katy... Yeah, I can already tell you their meeting won't be the friendliest. But you shall get to see it by yourself soon :)

oh i just love it!! they're so cute together!
Author's Response: And it's just getting started :3

So, where do I start?
Tom was great in this. I was picturing all the subtle nuances of his expressions while he and Martha were interacting. Even though you didn't go into direct detail about his body language, his words were enough. Then when he got to the boat, and Katy(ugh), I could feel his annoyance. Have I gushed about your characterization enough? I don't think so
It's silly how excited I was when you gave even that short description of Bills collection. I don't know why I find it so fascinating. I guess I just love little details like that. Plus, the image of Georg as a seagull is too much. I had to stop because I was laughing so much about that.
I think my favorite part of this was the concept of mermaids "vocalizing" instead of singing. Aside from the fact that I have been obsessed with whales since I was a kid (I wanted to be a marine biologist when was younger), I just feel that it would be more likely than a mermaid actually singing. I can only imagine how lovely it would sound.
Now they've met! I wonder how Tom will react when the meet again. Especially when he realizes that Bill is not a girl. I am looking forward to the next chapter, the anticipation is going to kill me. xD
Author's Response: Yeah, this one clearly has not as much detail as COP... since it's not needed as much. The plot is wayyyyy lighter so, even if one scene isn't totally described, you'll still have no trouble keeping up with the storyline.
Seagull Gayorg shall appear soon, too :') There will be whales too, fear not!

O: Oh my is it the evil witch? O.O I love the little mermaid and this is an awesome story ._. lol
Author's Response: It's something like the evil witch... You'll see soon enough ;)
Thank you for taking the time to read and comment, glad you like it so far :)

Can't wait to read about the big villain! This was a very interesting chapter! They met ! woot woot ! And I Lol at : "Hey, I just saved you; don't die!" And it's so cute how Tom think of Bill as a pretty angel =P
Thanks for this update, looking forward to read more!
Author's Response: Bill is full of those bright remarks, you'll see xD
Thank you for your comment, sweetie <3

Loving this....
Author's Response: I'm glad :3

lol Racist sea turtles. At least he was trying to save the eels!! Not just pull Tom's hair out.
This was an adorable chapter. You are amazing at describing things. And your dialogue is really good too.
Poor Bill, always being mistaken for a girl.. Honestly Tom, the boy had no top on. How did you miss that?
It is certainly a good thing Bill was there today. Being unconcious in the water is bad nough, but with Toms big ass baggy clothes, he would;ve sank like a rock. Tom normally gets to be the knight in shining baseball cap, I love it when Bill gets to do the job.
Wonderful chapter! I can't wait to see hte next chapter with the *cue ominous mnusic* villain
Author's Response: Once again, thank you so much for your kind words <3 You're one of my favorite reviewers already.
Poor Tomi was kind of a bit too groggy to notice that fact... he only noticed the pretty angel's face lol.
Chapter 3 shall be up by the weekend :)

Author's Response: Big lame romantic scenes to come soon :')

I am so excited about this. I can already tell that it is going to be quite the contrast to CoP. This is probably where I am going to run for a good dose of fluff every time CoP makes me feel like my heart is crying.
First things first, yes I am already hating Katy. Girls like that make my skin crawl. I was picturing a blonde version of Katy Perry the whole time she was around, but that might just be because of the name. I can't wait until Tom gets his chance to be rid of her.
I can picture Bill in this role so clearly. Just as in real life, I don't think he would be satisfied with the little corner of the world that he is used to. He knows for a fact that there truly is a whole other world just waiting to be discovered, and he won't be satisfied until he does.
The way he interprets things from the surface is just too cute! To be so fascinated by something like a soda can or a lip piercing, things that are so common place on the surface, is great. Will there be more detail about his other treasures? I'm kinda curious as to what other things would catch his attention enough to be kept.
I liked the bit of foreshadowing that was going on with Tom and his fascination with mermaids I wonder how he is going to react when he gets the chance to meet a real one. Especially one like Bill.
Also, Andi as a turtle is one of the cutest mental images ever. I had the biggest smile on my face as I was picturing him trying to keep up with Bill. That boy is a ball of energy as it is. I can only imagine the difficulties in trying to keep up with him as a speedy little mermaid.
Author's Response: That was the whole goal xD That and to cut me some slack from updating... *cough*
YES, SHE WAS INSPIRED ON KATY PERRY. Because I love that hypocritical woman so much, I needed to pay her a tribute of sorts :') She's gonna be around for a good while though, feel free to stab her in your mind as often as you want.
There's not really a big scene about Bill's cavern, although it gets mentioned here and there. But there's plenty of scenes to come where he marvels over the human treasures xD
I'm glad that I made Fairy smile <3

Oh my god baby *-* this is so cute
Author's Response: Wolfyyyyyyy thank you <333

Just to get my two bobs worth in I was uder the impression that a male Mermaid was called a Merman and that Triton is the name of Ariels father in the Disney take on the story. That being said I love Mermaids, men and the like and I can't wait for you to continue this :) Great job.
Author's Response: Yeah, I did have that little conflict... But I dunno, "merman" sounds so off to me lol. "Mermaid" is much prettier xD
Either way, thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment :)
Date: 07/25/11 12:07 pm Title: Curiosity almost killed the turtle
Lol liebling, Katy reminds me of Katy Perry.. xD Btw, I'm terribly excited to read more!
Author's Response: *COUGH, COUGH* I really wonder why..... :')
Danke so much, liebe <3
