A/N: Since I've been writing anime stories for a while, I'm trying something new. I hope you new readers enjoy it. ;D

Warning: NO FREAKING BELLA/SOPHIE CRAP. Sorry, I just won't do it. This is for the people who watched the first seasons.

CLEO

It had been a week since Cleo took the job at the marine park to help out. Water had never been her favorite thing, but she was promised she would only be feeding the aquatic mammals. The brunette was happy to help out, and the animals never failed to lighten her day. They were just geniunely happy.

Cleo stared down at the dolphin she was feeding. He chirped happily at the sight of her.

As the brune couldn't help but smiling, she accidentally knocked over the bucket of food into the water. She gasped as the eager dolphin swam down to devour it all.

"No!" Cleo yelled, as if she had power to stop it.

It was too late now though; the dolphin had already eaten it all probably.

She had to at least get the bucket out. No letting the boss find out. One can't get fired on the second week.

Cleo's mood lifted as she grabbed the long net hanging on the edge of the tank.

The teenager tried her best to scoop the net out. Every time she got ahold of the handle, it would slide off.

Huffing in anger, she jabbed the net at the water.

Seeing the net, the happy dolphin swam over to greet it.

"Get away! I'm trying to do something here, can't you see?" Cleo spoke to him as if he understood. She swirled the net around hoping to scare him off.

The dolphin chirped and gripped the net with its mouth.

Cleo felt the net break and the next thing she saw was the water around her as she struggled to get out somehow.

"Help! Help! I can't swim!" Her lungs begged for air as she struggled to stay above the surface. It would've been better if she remained calm, but it was too late now. In minutes she would black out and sink, only to be found by whoever's unfortunate enough to see her.

A certain blonde was out on his way to go to the research lab, figuring he had time to pass by the dolphin site. Hearing pleading cries, he ran to the source to find a girl... No, someone he recognized.. Drowning.

Feeling secure enough to be in a situation like this, he quickly jumped in and pulled the girl to safety. Despite her attempts to leash onto him, he pulled her to safety in time.

"Are you okay?" He asked as she breathed in the air she thought she'd never breathe again.

Shaking in fear, Cleo hadn't thought of looking at whoever had saved her. She was just grateful she was out of that unforgiving hell. She looked at him, and squinted as she recognized him as well.

"Hey, you're name's Lewis," Cleo coughed. "Right?"

Glad to know she knew him too, he said, "Yeah. Y-You're Cleo?"

Nodding.

The teen got to her feet. "Listen Lewis.. Thank you so much. I can't repay you enough.. If there's anything you need.. Just say so. Okay?"

Lewis felt nervous. "Uh, o-okay. But really, it was nothing."

"Nothing? You saved my life!" Cleo said. "You were great. Good thing there was no CPR, right?"

The blonde had to tell himself it was a joke, and to let himself laugh. "Yeah."

The two had never been close friends, or even really friends. Just acquaints, if that. They were in a few of each other's classes, but never really talked. Lewis had always thought she was different than other girls, but he couldn't be sure because she hung out with a few snobby girls.

"So, where do you live, Lewis?" Cleo asked, beginning to walk away from the water. Never to go near it again, she hoped.

"Oh, uhm, not too far from here. And you?" Lewis replied.

"Same." Cleo had always thought Lewis was kind of dorky. He was in all the techy clubs and was probably a straight A student. But he seemed sweet. Nicer than the other guys, who all cheated on their girlfriends and partied every night. It was a little confusing, though, because Cleo had seen him with Zane a lot.

"Want me to walk you home?" He offered, considering it was the most polite thing to do. It was a little late.

Cleo was impressed by his politeness. "If you want." She smiled at him.

Dazzled by her smile, he felt nervous again and waited for her to point him in the direction she lived and began walking.

"Well, Cleo, I must say you bounce back fast for someone who almost drowned," Lewis stated, looking at her.

Not sure if it was meant to be a compliment, Cleo half-smiled. "Thanks," She was a little surprised by herself too. She was fine away from the water.

Stopping as they reached her house, Cleo turned to him. "Thanks again, Lewis. And remember, if you need anything-"

"I won't," Lewis reassured, smiling modestly.

"If you do," Cleo responded calmly. "I'll see you at school."

"You too," As Lewis walked off, he couldn't help but thinking of how heroic he must've looked saving her life.

EMMA

A young blonde stared at her magnificent reflection in the mirror.

Light blonde hair, nice eyes, flawless face, good figure.

"I look great, don't I?" Emma said as she proudly strutted down the stairs, passing her brother and grabbing her bag for swim practice.

"You are young, sweetheart," Her mom said softly. "but great, yes."

Elliot snickered.

"I'm off," Emma threw her shoulders back. "Love 'ya guys."

Walking. Smiling. She thought of how great she felt in the water. Not knowing what she'd do without somehow swimming, Emma started to run. Don't wear yourself out. She tried to tell herself, but then didn't give it another thought. She WAS the best one on the team, after all.

RIKKI

Feeling sun beam in through her window, a tired Rikki rolled over on her side.

Time to get up. Grateful there was no school, the curly haired blonde let her feet fall to the floor and stood, not too stable.

"Finally you're up," Her dad said to her as she lazily passed through the kitchen.

She felt her dad look at her. "Not made any friends yet?"

Sending him a grimace, Rikki shook her head. "I'm fine, dad. I'd rather sleep than hang out with friends, anyway."

Of course, Rikki was the new girl in town. Finding friends had never been easy for her. She always came off as distant, or too tough looking. Moving made everything harder for her. Rikki hadn't been very talkative, and she had even been looked at funny and called out. But it was nothing to worry about. Just because she was new. It'd end soon enough.

A/N: That's it for this chapter. 'Till then, you know what to do. x]
