Moments later, Yuu and Yukiko went to sleep peacefully and, as night fell, they visualized the mirror in Yuu's room before finding themselves back in that gray space they were so familiar with: both were wearing the same clothes as the two previous times.
"Another dream? That's two days in a row!" Yukiko exclaimed as she looked around.
"Let's see what we have this time," Yuu replied.
The images didn't take long to appear and the twins found themselves on the shores of a beautiful lagoon under a clear night with the full moon overhead.
"Look, it's them!" Yuu exclaimed and pointed at Ariel and Eric, they were sitting in a small wooden boat and the prince was in charge of the oars.
"So she ended up becoming a human..." Yuu commented when he noticed Ariel sitting with a pair of legs instead of her striking mermaid tail. "Look, isn't she wearing the same dress as you? She's even wearing the bow!"
They quickly realized that Ariel was wearing exactly the same dress as Yukiko: with the blue skirt, the bodice, and her half-up hair held in place with the matching bow. They were already aware that Yuu was dressed the same as the prince, but it was the first time they saw the mermaid in human clothes.
Yukiko didn't like that revelation: "Wait a minute... Doesn't that mean that you and I are dressed...?"
"...just like a couple in love?" Yuu finished, quickly catching on.
It was just clothes that the dream gave them to adapt to the scenarios, but the twins no longer felt exactly comfortable with that choice.
"This is intolerable! I demand that we wear the same thing again!" Yukiko shouted into the void. "Either you give me pants too or you give him the same dress!"
"Shh, look!" Yuu urged when a red crab named Sebastian began to sing a romantic serenade to help Ariel and encourage the prince to kiss her to fulfill his part of the deal with Ursula and be human forever.
The twins got carried away by the romantic serenade. They frowned in frustration when Eric finally leaned in to kiss her but ended up feeling embarrassed and threw his head back, even though Ariel was ready to receive the kiss.
"Almost..." Yuu whispered.
The couple kept sailing until they reached a weeping willow with long branches that grew in the middle of the lagoon.
"You know, I feel really bad not knowing your name. Maybe I could guess..." Eric said to Ariel and stopped rowing to think. "Is it... Mildred?"
Ariel denied it with a face of disgust.
"Okay, no." Eric laughed. "How about Diana?" Ariel shook his head. "Rachel?"
"Ariel! Her name is Ariel," Sebastian yelled impatiently from his hiding place in a whisper.
Eric looked back and wondered if that voice had been a figment of his imagination.
"Ariel?" He repeated and the girl nodded with a big smile. "Ariel? Hm, that's kind of pretty. Okay. Ariel.
"Aw...!" Yukiko exclaimed.
"Looks like it's going well," Yuu commented having a good feeling. "The song was a great idea."
"Kiss the girl!" Yukiko exclaimed, repeating the lyrics of the song.
The music continued and the images jumped to the moment when Ariel and Eric were about to share a tender kiss. The twins and the animals that had worked together to create the romantic atmosphere looked excited and expectant...
But before their lips could even touch, the boat suddenly overturned and they both fell face-first into the water.
"What!?" The brothers screamed in unison, Yukiko even putting her hands on her head.
