Cam's P.O.V.

I sat alone in the Ocean Café, during the after school rush. Serena and David were preforming for the customers, I felt myself lost in the music just reflecting on the past few days.

Nixie and I started working together to keep the trident away from Zac. But that was just the excuse I was using, my master plan was to take the trident to Mako during the full moon to turn myself into a merman. It just didn't work out as I planned.

I found myself staring off into space, imagining what could have happened that night. It was wonderful, I would have gotten the ultimate power and all the mermaids would have been head over fins for me. It was all a dream come true.

I snapped myself out of my day dream when I realized what, or I should say who, I was staring at.

Nixie.

She turned and caught my gaze. Her deep blue eyes bore into mine. I offered her a smile that she didn't return. I knew that she wouldn't though, Nixie hated me along with Lyla, Serena, Zac, and Evie.

"Do you want anything?" Carly, the blonde haired waitress asked me.

Um, yeah. Can I have a watermelon and lime smoothie?" I ordered the first thing my eyes caught on the menu. I don't even like limes.

"C-c-coming right up." Carly replied, followed by a yawn.

"Hey, are you okay?" I asked her.

"Yeah, I'm just jittery. I've been drinking a lot of coffee and pulling a lot of all-nighters, so I can study for final examinations." She yawned again. Then she left to go get me my drink.

I had relaxed for the next few minutes just listening to the soft music playing up and the front of the café. A large crash made me tear my eyes away from Serena and David.

I turned to the source of the noise. Carly had tripped and spilled my smoothie all over Nixie! Immediately I jumped up and grabbed her wrist and led her outside.

"What are you doing?!" Nixie demanded, as she pushed her wrist off of mine.

"I'm helping you." I retorted.

In that instant Nixie collapsed to the ground tail and all.

"I can handle this by myself." She started to drag herself to the pier that stretched out the ocean. She hadn't even made it a meter.

"Oh really. Okay, I'll just leave you here. You'll probably reach the pier, oh I don't know, 3 a.m." I remarked.

"Fine then help me." Nixie said coolly. It was obvious she only asked me because I was the only choice.

I picked her up by the waist her head rested on my shoulder and her tail was draped over my right arm. I couldn't help but feel tingles everywhere her skin (or scales) was touching me.

Without hesitation I jumped into the ocean with Nixie still wrapped in my arms. As soon as both of our heads poked above the surface I released my grasp on her. She smiled half-heartedly and my stomach fluttered.

"Tell the others that I've gone back to Rita's." She turned and ducked under the water, her long beautiful tail brushed my legs as she swam away. A few seconds later she resurfaced. "And Cam."

"Yeah?" I replied hopefully.

"Thanks, for helping me." Even though I could only see her silhouette in the darkness I could hear the smile in her voice.

"Anytime Nixie!" I called back.

I pulled myself out of the water and started to walk back to the café when I ran into Serena, Lyla and Zac. They all jumped back from me when they realized I was soaking wet.

"What did you do with her?" Zac demanded.

"It's fine. I got her to the ocean and she's going back to Rita's." I explained.

The three of them let out a sigh of relief.

"You know a 'thank you' would suffice!"

"I think you've done enough." Lyla spit back.

The three jogged the length of the dock and three splashes followed. Silence followed. I didn't bother to turn back because I knew that they were already gone.

Some thanks I get. Couldn't they just realize that I was trying to help them? I just wanted us to be friends again.

You know it's really hard being the only human in a group of fish.
