Hi! Elysa here, this is my 3rd fanfic (I think), on H2O. If you review, honestly put down your thoughts! Please Review! This is mainly Bella/Will and Cleo/Lewis, minor Rikki/Zane, because I'm strange and not a Zikki fan :) But I know you guys really enjoy Zikki, so I'll include a bit.

PS, Lewis returned from America to be with Cleo, Bella and Will are still happily together, Rikki and Zane are together once Rikki realized she still had feelings, just buried.


Chapter 1: Valentine's Day

Lewis was in Will's boat shed, early afternoon, since the girls were busy, Will explained what he had missed. "So you kind of replaced my role?" Lewis asked.

"Not on purpose of course," Will admitted. "There's always room for both of us, you know."

"Of course I know, I was just joking," Lewis paused. "So..." Lewis started, "You doing anything for Bella today?"

"Hm?" Will seemed confused.

"Valentine's Day," Lewis said.

"Oh! Right," Will started to remember, "I'm going to ask Bella for a swim, and set up a picnic at Mako. What are you doing with Cleo?"

"Oh, I was about to do the same thing with Cleo. I was going to take her for an evening swim, and then set up a romantic picnic," Lewis said. "How about we have it together? Like a double date, except with Rikki and Zane. Three mermaids. And three boys."

"I'll text Bella, you text Zane to text Rikki, and text Cleo too," Will explained.

TEXTS:

Bella: sure will! 4 mite be good, ily too, ~bella~

With the girls at Mako

"So..." Cleo started.

Bella and Rikki just stared at her. "So..." Bella imitated. Cleo just looked at her expectantly. "So...?" Cleo continued to stare. "So... What?!"

"You know, Bella," Cleo replied.

"Oh yeah! I almost forgot," Bella giggled slightly. "So... What's up with you and Lewis?"

"What's so special about, today?" Rikki asked suddenly. Cleo and Bella stared at her as if she'd grown 2 heads. "What? If it's something like, me forgetting an anniversary or something, you should really know me better. Especially you, Cleo," Rikki said. "What?! What is it about today?"

"Oh, nothing."

"Bella...!"

"Your not gonna like today Rikki," Cleo looked down, faking sadness.

"Just spit it, Cleo," Rikki was getting annoyed by now. What's with Cleo and Bella?!

"Oh you know, it's maybe..." Bella stared at the water, then looked up, almost startled by her excitement. "Valentine's Day!"

"How great..." Rikki mumbled, disappointed. "Another day of awkward notes, creepy flying babies, and boxes of chocolates and bouquets of roses. How sweet, the day where everything is all red and pink and fluffy..." She obviously wasn't going to freak out about Valentine's Day suddenly.

"Oh come on, Rikki!" Cleo pushed Rikki playfully. "You and Zane will celebrate this time, won't you?"

"Won't you?" Bella repeated for Cleo once she saw that Rikki's head was on her folded elbows on the rock.

"Yes," Rikki started. Bella and Cleo exchanged weird looks.

"That's a first..." Cleo mumbled, surprised. Bella's eyes widened in fake shock.

"Rikki? Celebrating. Valentine's Day?" She repeated those words. "Well, those words don't exactly belong in a sentence, I believe... Cleo?" Bella turned to her friend for support.

"I too, am shocked."

"Guys!" Rikki groaned. Oh how I hate these moments... Rikki thought. "Isn't just knowing enough? I hate the idea of knowing I'm celebrating, so why make me feel bad?" Rikki continued to complain.

"Just saying." They both mutter in unison, keeping back their laughs. They tried to fake hurt, but, Rikki wasn't easy to fool, and she just splashed water over them.

"Come on, Rikki!" Bella complained, "Play along with us for ONCE!"

"Sorry, you better grow better at tricks then," Rikki laughed.

"First one back to the beach wins!" Cleo exclaimed, diving underwater.

"Hey! Not fair!" Bella yelled and dove in after her.

"Cheater!" Rikki grumbled and dove in the water.

The three mermaids amazingly sped underwater, smiling. At the end, Bella won, because of her good experience, and the fact she swam almost 24/7. Then it was Cleo, who had 'cheated'. And last was Rikki, who had started last, and was never the fastest at swimming.

"Cleo!" Rikki splashed her playfully, "That was cheating!"

"No it wasn't," Cleo defended herself laughing, "I started after we said 'race', that's the only rule remember?"

"We?" Bella repeated.

"Okay, so it might of been I," Cleo giggled.

They all laughed it off, and went to the café.


With Will, Zane, and Lewis

"So, I'll get the food. Lewis, you get the blankets, and Zane, you try to make the place look nice, alright?" Will asked them. They all said yes.

"We'll meet up at Mako, set it all up at around 3? Then we'll go back and meet them at the beach at 4 o'clock, then we'll bring them for a swim, and once we reach Mako, we could enjoy eating, and yeah..." Lewis drifted off.

"Okay, I'll go get the stuff." And they all went their seperate ways to get the things needed.

They were back at Mako at 2:30. Will had brought loads of food including sandwiches, fruit like grapes, apples, and strawberries. He also brought a couple small chocolates, and some other picnic foods. Lewis had brought 3 red and white blankets for each couple to sit on, matching the special day's colors. Zane had brought a few pillows and decorations like roses to make the place look nice and Valentine's Day-ish.

They all set the things up, and Will, Lewis, and Zane decided to get gifts for their three mermaid-girlfriends. They all went to a jewelry store to buy necklaces or bracelets.

Will had decided to get a beautiful silver mermaid necklace with the mermaid holding an aquamarine, Bella's birthstone. He had decided to engrave the words "I will love you forever, Bella Hartley. From, Will."

Zane had decided to get a silver bracelet for Rikki, which also happened to have a mermaid on it, with a fiery red crystal to represent Rikki's power.

Lewis got Cleo a silver necklace for Cleo, with a mermaid on it, and two dolphins or extra decoration, since he knew that Cleo loved swimming with dolphins, and it meant a lot. He had engraved the words "Cleo, you are my sunset, my sunrise, and my love. ~Lewis"

They all went back to the beach, and waited for their girlfriends to arrive. Then they saw Bella, Cleo, and Rikki walking towards them.

Rikki had a grey tank top on with shorts, and her hair loose.

Bella was wearing one of her white sundresses along with sandals and her hair loose.

Cleo's hair was also loose, and she was wearing a pink sundress with her sandals by her hand.

All the boys were just standing there, amazed by the girl's looks.

"So... Are we going to swim, or not?" Rikki said. She pointed to the water, when she noticed all the boys were just staring at them not asking to swim.

"Right." They all said, blushing, pretending to be distracted by something else.

The three girls smiled at each other, and then went to their boyfriends, diving into the ocean.

It felt so good to finally be in the ocean! I had Lewis beside me, my mermaid friends too. And of course, my 2 other friends, that were close too, Will and Zane. Of course Zane wasn't as close to me, but still, she was my best friend, almost sister's boyfriend. And, he did help us escape from Denman, so he is a true friend, really, Cleo thought.

I was hand in hand with Will swimming through the ocean. We stopped once in a while, since we were on the very bottom of the sea, we could see the shells. That was our common ground. We both loved the ocean, and looking at all the things the sea has, that the land doesn't. We also stopped to see the dolphins, of course. Will had always felt connected with them, and me, I'm basically a dolphin. Bella thought.

I was with Zane, swimming through the ocean. I never thought of this before. A romantic swim with Zane... How weird could that be? On Valentine's Day! Oh god, I feel so weird doing this. Those red hearts and roses. Heart balloons, and flying babies with bows and arrows. Creepy! But of course, I could just relax with Zane. It's better than nothing, right? And how often do I have a swim like this, with all of my friends? Rikki thought, still smiling at the water.

They all swam around the ocean for a long time. Maybe even 2 hours, taking a break just over some rocks that appeared above water to rest on or something. They looked up at the sky, it was almost getting dark. The boys looked at each other, they nodded and they swam with their girlfriends to Mako Island.

As they entered the pool, the girls gasped when they saw the arrangement that their boyfriends had done. A special Valentine's Picnic at the moon pool.

Great, just what I need to make me feel more awkward and weird. Of course, I smiled, not wanting to be too rude. I mean, the boys tried hard on this, I could at least show some appreciation right? Rikki thought quickly.

Wow! The boys must've really cared for us to do this much. I looked up gratefully at Will, still in the water. A picnic! It looked great, everything looked great. And I meant everything. The food, the set up, the decorations... Bella thought, smiling widely.

Lewis must've done all of this! I mean, Lewis, Zane, and Will must've done all this! I guess Lewis does really care a lot for me, and Will does care for Bella too. And Zane must still love Rikki.
Cleo thought.

They all ate their delicious picnic, as they got out of the water.


Bella and Will's conversation

"Thanks a lot for all of this, Will!" Bella squealed excitedly. She kissed him quickly on the lips gently, which left Will bubbling with happiness, feeling dreamy. He loved to see Bella so happy and cheerful, smiling at him, and it felt like the sun shining on him.

"Your welcome, Bella," Will smiled, and he reached into his pocket for the necklace he had bought for Bella. "I have something else for you, Bella..." He said shyly. He pulled his arm out of his pocket, revealing the beautiful silver mermaid necklace with a light blue gemstone.

Bella's pulse quickened, she couldn't believe Will had gotten through so much trouble just for her. Her smile grew bigger and bigger, and she hugged Will, once she saw that he had bought her a necklace, that she could relate to. "Thank you so much, Will!" She exclaimed, and hugged him tightly, then they leaned into kiss, but, unfortunately for Bella and Will, Rikki just had to interrupt.

"Oh really guys? No PDAs please," Rikki rolled her eyes sarcastically as she smiled. She was hand-in-hand with Zane.

"I could say the same to you, Rikki," Bella looked down at her and Zane's connecting hands. Bella just giggled quietly and turned back to Will. While this was happening, the whole time Will was staring at Bella's expression. Her face is just so happy, I've never seen it really sad or too mad. She's always so positive, and her eyes look so welcoming and warm. And when she giggles, its filled with joyfulness, so filled that if fills someone with happiness who just happens to hear it... Will thought dreamily.

The two continued their picnic and Bella thanked Will a couple more times, and finally they had their kiss, as Rikki and Zane weren't paying attention. They later talked about their lives, and how everything was going.


The same time, Cleo and Lewis were having their sweet, heart-to-heart talk, in their special way. "Cleo, I have something special for you..." Lewis grabbed the mermaid and dolphin necklace she had bought for Cleo, from his pocket. He held it up to her so she could see it.

"Awww... Lewis! It's beautiful," She said, and took the necklace from him, but Lewis pulled it away, and placed it on her neck, knowing that she loved it when he did things that way. Short, but memorable and sweet.

"Thank you, Lewis. You must've gone through a lot for this, it truly means a lot!" Cleo squealed, she brought a grape to her mouth and popped it in. Lewis just smiled.

"Thank Will and Zane too, they helped a lot," Lewis looked at the two boys who were busy dreamily talking to their girlfriends.

"Well, it means more that you would do this for me," Cleo smiled. They continued to eat and snack on their picnic, chatting about their lives, and about Lewis' trip to America, and Cleo's adventure while Lewis was gone...


Even though Rikki and Zane aren't the type to get all 'lovey dovey', Rikki still appreciated what Zane has done for her. "Thanks, Zane!"

Zane just shook his head and smiled. Being their natural selves, Zane of course argues playfully, "Come on, Rikki! 'Thanks, Zane!' Is all you could say?" Zane asked cheekily. "How about more of a... More of a kiss or something like that?"

Rikki just rolled her eyes and kissed Zane sheepishly. She was not the typical Valentine's Day's happiest girl. Not to mention a couple, "Ahem's" from Cleo, Bella, Lewis, and Will.

"I have something else for you too, and I picked it out specially so it would match... well... You," Zane said sweetly, though that wasn't his 'type'. He brought out the silver shiny bracelet with the brightest red gem on it, representing 'fire'. Fire represented both the flame in her personality and her power.

"Well, thank you, this sure is a lot," Rikki complimented, then of course, kissed him softly.


After each couple had their 'moment' alone, it was already 6:27. "Come on, we should head back now, it's been a while already," Bella said. "Plus, Zane, you have to be at the café so I could sing. Nate's probably going to go crazy, I'm suppose to be there at 6:45 for a sound check, and the real thing is at 7:30."

"Alright, well, let's go," Cleo jumped into the water, followed by Lewis, Bella and Will, and finally Rikki and Zane. Right as the boys entered the pool, a light shined above them, the full moon!

"It's a full moon?!" Bella shrieked. Rikki had a concerned look on her face, and Cleo showed a horrified emotion on her face as the water below her started to bubble up. Bella held her hand up, and accidentally did a gesture for a power she's never seen. A small portion of the water below her froze. Ice! "Did... D-did I do that?"

Rikki and Cleo stared at each other, but that was only the begenning. Soon, something happened to the three boys. Will, Zane, and Lewis felt something under them, and it wasn't legs. It was a tail!
