A/N: Background:

-After Graduation, unknown to the girls the Moon Pool's remaining magic slowly began healing the cave and pool. After a quite a few months of this it was back to full health and magic. While it was healing the girls hang out and met up at Lewis' Secret Fishing Spot. After 6months the girls decided to go back and look at their beloved pool. To their suprise it was just as they first found it.

- Sophie Benjamin, Will's sister moved to Perth as she was offered an amazing job.

-All main characters have been to university or a polytechnic.

- Rikki and Zane have initiated their relationship again. Zane begged on his knees (literally) for forgiveness, and Rikki – flattered - let them become friends again. After a while they got back together. Mr Bennett helped with a financial debt of Zane's so he could keep the café in exchange Zane promised to go to polytechnic, and it flourished again when Rikki helped him manage it.

- Rikki and Zane live together in a house near the cafe

-Bella and Cleo flat together in an apartment.

-Emma lives with Ash

-When Emma came back from her holidays, after being told many stories of their new friend Bella, (none of which included the fact that she was a mermaid and that she was in on their secret) she met her and they became great friends. The first time they saw each other as mermaids was when the girls met up at the regenerated moon pool a few days after meeting and the two of them had the shock of their lives. Will made another crystal necklace for Emma, so again all the mermaids had matching necklaces.

-After another year of disliking each other, Will and Zane put aside their differences for the sake of the girls. Later on they became good friends.

Chapter 1

Mako Island

Anna walked casually along the rocks beside the flowing river. She paused, admiring its beauty and that of the sunset. As she stood there, breathing in the fresh air, the beautiful full moon rose gracefully into the sky, as the birds squawked the arrival of dusk. She had a heavy duty torch in her hands, ready for when it would be dark. She resumed walking momentarily, but she soon stopped again, hearing someone shouting her name. Her boyfriend, Ben, called to her as her emerged from the forest. Anna strolled towards him. Suddenly, the ground gave way beneath her and the torch fell from her hands. She slid swiftly down a tunnel into an underground cavern, dark and ominous yet beautiful. Ben ran to the entrance of the hole to see if she was alright.

"Anna!"

"I'm fine Ben! Come down here it's amazing," Anna said as she took in her surroundings fully.

"Will we be able to get back up? Oh never mind..." His sentence trailed off.

Ben grabbed the torch and prepared to slide carefully down.

"I'm coming!" he called down into the tunnel "Whoa...!"

"Look at this rock Ben! It's amazing..." Ben silenced her with a kiss.

"I'm glad to see you're alright..."

"Oh stop it Ben!" She interrupted, amused at the loving tone in his voice.

They walked hand in hand into the next cavernous room. An almost perfectly circular pool with glistening water lay there silently. The ceiling rose up in a volcanic cone and the sky was clear to see.

"The water looks so inviting, Ben." Anna said while looking longingly at the lucid liquid.

They kicked off their shoes and waded onto the shallow step of the pools edge. The moon rose above the volcanic cone as they looked deeply in each other's eyes, lost in a dream. Ben leaned in for a kiss, but as he did sparkling water droplets rose out of the water, ruining the romantic moment, the stillness disrupted. Ben pulled back abruptly and Anna looked around startled. After the moon passed by, the bubbles subsided. They shared a shocked look and stepped out of the pool the return their shoes to their feet. The couple managed to scramble back up the way they came, back to their campsite. Little did they know that new surprises would be just around the corner...
