"What do you mean 'were moving'?" I say.

My mother says, "I believe it will be good for you, Melody. I know how much you hate water, but Australia seems like a good place for a new start. Since the shark attack in British Columbia you've been distant to everyone. You're so scared of the water you won't even go out when it snows! It's snowy for at least four months here in Calgary. You're done high school and will be eighteen soon, a new life could await us. Your sister wants to go. What do you want?"

I say, "Mom, what's going to change if I go? I have no friends here since the shark attack and I'll have no one there."

My 14-year old sister, Cora, says, "Please, I want to start a new adventure. It would be fun. We're going to go where Dad was born, wouldn't it be nice to get to know him a little more?"

I whisper, "We're going to Australia."

Emma steps off the boat and is greeted by Rikki and Cleo.

Emma says, "I've missed you guys. I have a lot to share."

Rikki says, "So do we."

Mrs. Gilbert says, "Emma, you go off with your friends and catch up."

With that, Emma, Rikki and Cleo go to Cleo's. They sit on Cleo's bed.

Cleo says, "There's another mermaid. Her name is Bella; she's really nice. Bella became a mermaid in Ireland when she was nine."

Emma says, "Wait… Nine? Do you guys like Bella?"

Rikki says, "She's okay. Her boyfriend Will found out about us. Cleo's dad got married to a girl named Samantha. Will's sister, Sophie, and Sam's co-worker, Ryan, destroyed the Moon Pool. There was this weird water-tentacle monster thing, which actually wasn't a monster. The water-tentacle showed us that we needed to stop the comet. Bella helped us stop the comet from crashing into earth."

"A comet? Seriously?" Emma says in disbelief.

Cleo nods, "We have gone to the Moon Pool and it's starting to repair itself. Soon it'll be back to normal-ish."

Emma says, "Is there anything else?"

Cleo says, "Juice Net went under, and Zane turned it into a Café called Rikki's. It almost went under when Rikki left."

Rikki gets a text. She says, "It's Bella; she wants to go for a swim. You up for it Emma?"

Emma nods, and says, "I can't wait to meet her."
