Chapter 1
Bloom woke up at around 6:00 o'clock. She was on vacation with her parents, it was July. It was their last day of vacation, so they woke up early so they could use the entire day before they leave home tomorrow morning. And in one month, after they go back, Bloom will have to go to a boarding school which, she wasn't that excited about.
They were at the beach now.
-Hey mom, dad, can i rent a boat to that island over there?-asked Bloom.
-Alright, but maybe you should call someone with you.-said her mom.
-Ok, I'll ask some of the employees.-lied Bloom.
She went towards the boats for rent.
-Hey, I'd like to rent a boat to that island.-said Bloom.
-Alright, but be careful there are a lot of sharks there.-said the woman after she paid.
-Hey, i heard you're going to MAKO island. Can i come?-said a blonde girl.-Oh, how rude of me. I didn't introduce myself! My name's Stella.
-Hi. My name's Bloom. And sure, you can come to MAKO.
-Great. Well let's get going!-said Stella.
They went inside the boat and started the engine.
-So, Bloom, are you here on vacation?-asked Stella.
-Yeah. I'm with my parents.-said Bloom.
-Me too. Well, actually with my mom. You see, my parents are kinda divorced.-said Stella.
-Oh, sorry.-said Bloom.
-Nah, it's ok. I can live with it, i already do.-she said cheerfully. 'I like this girl, maybe we can be friends, she seems nice.' thought Bloom.
….
-We're here.-said Tecna's mom as they got outside of the car, and went to the beach.
Tecna was on vacation with her parents, and they just got out of the car from their trip to home, it was August. They live here, but starting tomorrow Tecna will live somewhere in a boarding school. So, because of that, her mom had this "brilliant" idea to come back home one last time before she leaves. As for Tecna, she wasn't thrilled by the idea of going to another school, especially a boarding school. But it was good, knowing she could have a new start, at a new school. She didn't really like the idea of coming back here again, cuz some of the "popular" kids in school were usually at the beach. And let's just say that they don't really like her.
-Come on Tecna, it'll be fun!-said her mom. It was actually her idea for Tecna to go to a boarding school, because she taught she'll make more friends.
They were at the beach. Her parents were lying on the towels on the sand, while Tecna was bored.
-Hey mom, I thought since it's my last day, maybe I can explore the place a little?-said Tecna.
-Tecna, you know the entire town!-said her mom with a little laugh-But, you can go around the place.
-Thanks mom.-said Tecna.
Tecna went to the docks. She usually went there, cuz it was quiet, and no one came there often.
-Hey, Tecna.-she turned around to see no other than Sam. She was the most popular girl in school, and she didn't really like Tecna.
-Hi.-said Tecna.
-So I heard you were leaving.-she said, while her friends were standing behind her.
-Yeah. Tomorrow.-said Tecna.
-You know, we haven't been the best of friends, how about I make it up to you?-she said.
-How?-asked Tecna.
-Well, this is my boat, my old boat anyways, and maybe you'd like to go for a ride.-she said.
-I don't know…-said Tecna.
-Oh, come on, you'll be with us.-she said as she pushed Tecna on the boat. After she stood up, she found herself on the boat that was drifting off to sea, and she didn't know how to start it!
-Farewell Tecna!-Sam was waving with her friends from the dock and laughing.
Tecna was really scared, since she didn't know how to swim. It's weird, but she never found swimming interesting, of course she knew how to swim a little, but not enough for her to go back to the dock.
Suddenly, someone dived out of the water. It was a girl with a brown hair.
-What are you doing?-asked Tecna panicked.
-Chill, I'm saving you.-she said, as she started the boat. Sam and the girls were just staring at them in awe.
-Thanks. I'm Tecna.-said Tecna, as she stretched out her hand for her to shake.
-Layla.-she said shaking my hand.-Alright, next stop: MAKO island!
-MAKO island? Are you insane? No, we can't go there! There are sharks!-said Tecna.
-Hey, I've been there a thousand times!-she said.
-How come I never saw you around?-asked Tecna.
-Oh, I'm here on vacation. Today's our last day, so I decided to use it, you know, by going to MAKO again.-she said. She seemed pretty relaxed for someone who's about to go to MAKO.
-So, you're saying you've been there a lot of times?-asked Tecna.
-Yeah. Too bad I'll be leaving tomorrow, there's so much more to explore out there. I've only seen half of the island.-she said, she looked like an adventurist.-So, uh you comin', or you want me to drop you off?
-Sure, I'll come. Besides, it'll be a good opportunity to see the island, since I've never been there, and I live here. Well, used to.-said Tecna.
-What do you mean?-asked Layla.
-My parents are sending me to some boarding school.-said Tecna.
-Really? Me too. Maybe it's the same one, I'm going to Alfea.-she said.
-Well, I guess I'll see ya 'round at school.-said Tecna as they both smiled.
…
-Alright, we're here.-said Stella, as they got out of the boat, and dragged it to shore.
-Well, which way?-asked Bloom.
-How about there?-said Stella, pointing towards a random place.
-Ok.-said Bloom, as they started heading that direction.
A few hours later….
-Stella, face it, we're lost!-Bloom yelled after Stella, for the fifth time. They were lost, they wanted to get back, but instead, they were just wondering around the island.
-No, it's this way!-she said, as she headed towards her wanted direction. Bloom just growled, and decided to go after her.
-Wow, look at that! Beautiful!-said Stella as she was staring at a waterfall.
-Yeah, it is.-said Bloom-Hey, Stella, it's a waterfall! We can drink water from it!-Bloom said happily. They were dying from thirst.
-That's a pretty good idea, Bloom!-said Stella, as they headed towards the waterfall. They drank some water.
-Hey, how about crossing to the other side, there may be a high spot from where we can see where our boat is!-said Bloom.
-Alright, let's give it a shot.-said Stella.
They climbed up on a small cliff, so they can jump across the waterfall (which was about 1 meter away from another small cliff). Bloom jumped, and turned around to see Stella who was trying to jump, but couldn't.
-Stella, are you sure you can do this?-Bloom asked her.
-Uh-uh, don't worry…-she said scarily.
Just as she was about to jump, she slipped in a hole.
-Stella! Stella, are you ok!?-Bloom instantly jumped back to the first cliff.
-I'm okay.-Bloom heard Stella's voice, but Bloom couldn't see her.
-I can't see you, where are you?!-Bloom yelled panicked.
-Down here!-she yelled from the hole, Bloom saw the hole and went inside.
-Aaaaah!-Bloom fell inside the cave.
-Bloom! I can't stand up, I think I hurt my ankle.-said Stella.
-That means we have to find another way outside.-said Bloom, looking around the cave.
-Sorry.-said Stella.
-It's not your fault. You fell.-said Bloom-Come on, this way.-she offered her hand to Stella.
Stella took her hand and stood up-Thanks.
Bloom helped Stella walk as they went through the tunnel. They ended up in a cave with a small pool in the ground. The place looked beautiful, they were inside a volcano. (the moon pool from H2o:JAW or MAKO mermaids, you can see some pictures on Google)
-This looks like a volcano.-said Stella looking around in amazement.
-Yeah. You don't think it's gonna erupt, do you?-asked Bloom.
-It doesn't look like it.-said Stella-How do we get out of this place?
-Well, if I'm correct, this pool is supposed to lead to sea, see, there's an underwater passage.-said Bloom, pointing at the end of the pool where you could see a glimpse of the tunnel-I'll go check it out.
-Wait, don't leave me here! I'm gonna die alone!-said Stella.
-Get it together, I'll survive. If I don't, it was nice knowing you.-said Bloom.
-Bloom!-said Stella.
-Kidding!-said Bloom laughing. She took off her shoes and went inside the pool. She dived in. After a while she was back-As I said, the tunnel leads to sea, it's not very long.
-Ok, I'm coming.-Stella barely pushed herself in the pool.
-Come on.-said Bloom, just as she was about to dive in, the pool started to sparkle. You could see the full moon from the circle shaped opening on the celling.
-Freaky!-said Stella-Let's get out of here faster, I have to leave early tomorrow.
-Me too, come on.-they dived in and got out on the other side, on sea.
…
-Layla, are you sure we're going the right way?-asked Tecna.
-Yeah.-said Layla.
-Have you been here before?-asked Tecna.
-No.-said Layla.
-Then how can you know it's the right way?!-said Tecna.
-We're supposed to explore the island, and since I haven't been here, I know it's the right place.-said Layla-Besides, what could go wrong? Tec? Tec!
Layla turned around and there was no one behind her, she started frantically searching for Tecna. She suddenly slipped in a hole. She screamed as she fell.
-Tecna? Why didn't you answer my calls?-asked Layla.
-Well sorry for trying to get up! I have a mayor headache cuz I hit my head when I slipped inside!-said Tecna.
-Ok, we can go up now.-said Layla.
-I tried. I can't.-said Tecna.
-I have some gear in my backpack, we can climb up later, now let's see what's inside this cave!-said Layla.
Tecna rolled her eyes and went after Layla.
-Wow!-they said in union as they saw the same cave Bloom and Stella saw a month ago.
-Come on, let's get in!-Layla left her backpack and jumped in.
-I guess it wouldn't hurt.-said Tecna as she got inside too.
They were splashing each other, when suddenly the water started bubbling and sparkles were flying up the celling. You could see the full moon through the opening on the celling. After a while, Tecna and Layla hurriedly went out of the cave and home.
