Exposed: a secret revealed
Chapter one: look whose back
Cleo's Point of view
A lot had happened since we saved the gold coast in that time Emma returned, me and Lewis got married, and I got pregnant
I walked along the dock four months pregnant as I looked at the ocean it was as if it were calling me. I smiled I couldn't take it any more I dived in happily. I sighed as I felt my tail form. The thing I love about being a mermaid is that however old you are once you hit the water you feel like a child again. I smiled as I sped off towards mako with a flick of my tail. I went through the underwater entrance as usual when I surfaced I saw the Emma, and Bella were there. "Hey Cleo what's up?"Emma asked. "Oh nothing I'm just frustrated." "Why?" "Because my morning sickness is a pain in the ass," I sighed. "Oh well I guess it will be over in five months," Emma told me. "I know but I want the morning sickness to go away." "I'm sorry Cleo," Bella sighed. "Oh its ok I shouldn't complain," I sighed. "Oh Cleo it's ok to complain around us we love you no matter what," Emma told me. "Thanks guys." I said hugging them. "So any way did you here rikki and Zane got back together?" Bella asked. "I knew they would there perfect for each other," I swooned. "I know right… well he did cheat on her." "That is not true Sophie kissed Zane," I defended. "Hey have you found out the sex of the baby yet?" "No I'm afraid I can't the baby might have a tail." "yeah that would be weird like: hello doctor can I have an ultra sound she rubs the gel on your belly and you grow a tail the lady screams then does the ultra sound then yells why do you and your kid have tails?" "Yeah that'd take awhile to live down." "Yeah it would." "Hey let's go back to the café," Emma said interrupting us. "Ok let's go last one to the mainland is a fried fish!" I playfully exclaimed. They laughed and with a flick of a tail the race began Emma won I was in second place. Once we got out we went to rikki's café. We walked into rikki's office she was laying there on the couch as a mermaid tail spread out behind her. "Hey tough crowd," I laughed. "You bet." "You didn't invite six year olds again did you?" I asked. "Don't worry I learned my lesson the hard way on that one," rikki laughed clenching her fist. Once she had her legs back she stood up. "so guys want a smoothie?" she asked." sure we said in unison. We walked into the main part and ordered smoothies we all sat down at our usual table. Then all the sudden a women came in that made us spew it was none other than Dr. Denman. She smiled at us and walked over. "Hello how are you?" she asked. "finless." Rikki said hotly. "Rikki!" I kicked her under the table. "Forgive rikki she likes to hold a grudge," I told her. "Oh its fine and rikki has every right to snap at me I did make you lose your mermaidness," she said sadly. "Oh its ok we got used to it," Emma said. "So how thing are's anything big?" she asked. "Well I and Lewis got married and I'm pregnant." "Nice I could give you an ultra sound,' she told me. "No I want the gender to be a surprise." "Oh ok fair enough," she said. I smiled rubbing my small bump. "Well I should get going," she said getting up. "Bye," I said curtly. The minute she left rikki said. "She deserved it and what happened to staying away from her?" "One, I know, and two haven't you heard of keep you enemies close?"I said. "Yes in the normal situation not when you have a scientist in town and you happen to be a mermaid!" she yelled. "Oh say it louder I don't think the world heard you," I snapped at her. "Sorry," she apologized. "Any way let's forget it she probably thinks were not mermaids any more so we're safe," I told her. She nodded then sighed.
Denman's point of view
I was sitting outside when I heard rikki yell, "yeah in normal situations not when you have a scientist in town and you happen to be a mermaid!" I gasped. Were they really still mermaids? No! I told myself. You've caused them enough pain and if you're wrong you'll embarrass yourself wait I was right the first time so I am probably right this time… but I'll need some proof. Then I went to my boat and set up the sonar, I then put more cameras by the moon pool entrance.
Third person
The girls entered the café to get ready for the party rikki was in charge of the food Cleo was in charge of the food, Emma was in charge of décor, and Bella of course was in charge of music. They laughed as they got ready for the party after they were done the party started while Bella sang
2 am and he calls me because I'm still awake
Will you help me unravel my greatest mistakes?
I don't love him winter just wasn't my season
Yeah we walk through the doors so accusing their eyes
Like they have right at all to criticize
Hypocrites we're all here for the very same reason
Because you can't jump the track we're like cars on a cable and
Life's like an hourglass glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button girl
So cradle your head in your hands and breath just breath
Oh breathe
Just breath
Everybody clapped as she finished. She beamed at them as she walked off the stage to go get a drink. Then a car came up and doctor Denman got out and entered. She walked over to Bella. "Oh wow your good at singing," Denman commented. "Thanks it's my talent," Bella said. "Want to go hang out?" Denman asked. "Sure," she said walking with Denman. "Come on let's sit in my car," Denman said. "Ok fine with me," Bella sighed. They got inside Denman's car. "Would you like a mint?" Denman asked holding out a tin of mints that she had drugged. "Sure," Bella said taking one. Bella popped it in her mouth and began to feel weird. "I feel kind of weird," Bella said. "Oh that is what the mints they simulate the senses it could be that or that the mints are spicy," Denman said. "Oh your right I kind of like the sensation," Bella said. "Ok then here has another," Denman said handing her the tin. Bella took two and popped one into her mouth she began to get slightly high. She giggled. She popped the other one in her mouth. "Ha ha you look funny," Bella giggled. "Hey Bella can I ask you something?" Denman asked the giggling girl. "Yeah," Bella giggled. "Are you a mermaid?" Denman asked her. "I can't tell," Bella whispered to the woman. "Why not?" Denman asked. "Because you might tell Denman," she giggled. Denman rolled her eyes, "don't worry I won't tell Denman." "Come closer," she said. Denman came closer and Bella smiled a diabolic smile and burped in Denman's face. "Oh this is no use," Denman said kicking the giggling Bella out of the car.
Emma's point of view
I walked outside for some air were I saw Bella sitting there giggling like a moonstruck mermaid. "Bella, did you look at the moon?" I asked. "No I didn't," she giggled back. "How much did you have to drink?" I asked her. "I didn't drink tonight," Bella replied. "Then why are you acting like a moonstruck mermaid?" I asked her. "I don't know what I remember was I was sitting in the car and Denman gave me some yummy mints," she told me giggling. "And what did she ask you?" I asked her. "She asked her if I was a mermaid but I told her I couldn't tell her and then I burped in her face," she said laughing really hard. "Come on Bella, let's get you inside," I told her. "Yay are we going on an adventure?" she asked happily. "Uh yep," I told her. I walked with her into the office and sat her down by a mirror. "Bella I want you to sit there and stare at her until she blinks," I told her. "Cool a game," she giggled. "Ok I'm leaving the room," I told her. "Ok," she said not looking away from the mirror. I walked out and went to the girls. "Guys Denman's onto us," I told them. "What how do you know?" Cleo asked. "Because she drugged Bella," I told them. "Really?" Rikki asked. "Yeah she's high as a kite in your office," I told her. "Oh my gosh how did you get her to stay?" Cleo asked. "I told her to sit in front of the mirror and stare at the girl until she blinks," I laughed. "Who knew a blond joke would be so useful," Rikki chuckled. "No kidding," I giggled. "Wait wasn't it a full moon tonight?" Cleo asked. "Oh crap yeah it was we got to get in there before she sees the moon," I exclaimed. We ran into the room the room was filled with moon light we tried to shield our eyes but it was too late we saw the moon and everything went black…
Moonstruck Emma's point of view
I ran out the window and the girls followed me. Denman was sitting on a chair in her boat we ran down the dock. "Come swim with us," I told her. "Yeah the water is so warm," Rikki said happily. "Um okay," Denman said looking at us funny. "Yay last one to mako is a fried fish," I said grabbing her as I dived in causing her to come with me. She grabbed onto my tail and I swam to mako at super speed when I got there all my mermaid friends were there I giggled. Denman surfaced and climbed out of the water. I swished my tail to make water splash her. I laughed. I then slid out onto the sand and fell asleep
The next morning
Rikki's point of view
I woke up but I was too stiff to get up I rolled onto my side but something felt weird I didn't feel my blankets or pillow I felt grainy sand below me my eyes shot open I was in the moon pool. Then all the sudden Denman popped out of the shadows. "what do you want Denman?" I demanded. "I want rikki the mermaid," she sneered. "what are you talking about?" I asked playing dumb. "don't be an idiot I saw your tail last night along with your friends," she told me. "oh crap," I said. "come with me," she demanded. "no!" I told her. "we can do this the easy way or the hard way!" Denman said annoyed. "the hard way," I said laughing. "ok your call," she said. I felt something cold on my back ten seconds later I grew a tail. She grabbed onto my tail and tugged me threw the entrance above I screamed as she scrapped some of my scales off as she tugged me up. When we were finally up the hole she dragged me to my friends. "go die in a hole Denman," I yelled at her.
