The distinct sound of a phone vibrating against the table was louder than if it were to actually ring.
"Are you okay?" Cleo frantically asked before Emma even had a chance to say hello.
"Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" Emma questioned. "What's going on?"
"You know last night was full moon." Rikki was also on the line; since it was only Cleo's name, Emma must be on speaker. "Did anything odd happen? Not moon fever odd, but like water acting weird odd."
Emma took a minutes to process the later part of Rikki's statement. What on Earth? "No. Why? What happened?"
"There was this giant water tentacle that tried to attack us." Cleo answered. Water tentacle? It sounded utterly ridiculous. Emma would have laughed if this wasn't being told to her by a her mermaid best friends.
Emma glanced outside the hotel window. Looking at the rain hitting the walkway outside. It started raining a few hours after they made it too the hotel. The rain fall steadily, but there was nothing unusual about the water. "Okay, I haven't see anything." She was in Japan at the moment; the moon pool was very far away. "I must be too far away from Mako."
"Okay." Cleo responded. There was a pause that the other end of the line. She could hear whispering on the other end of the line. There was a third voice she didn't recognize. "On other thing. When you go to Ireland be careful.
"You guys sound like you're the ones that need to be careful."
"There's a sea cave off the coast." Emma didn't recognize the voice. "with a pool." Another moon pool? Who is this girl?
"That was Bella." Cleo spoke this time.
"Hi." It was Bella.
"She's mermaid too." Rikki added.
"Hi." Emma said.
There conversation lasted a little longer. Mainly with Emma directing questions at Bella about the Ireland moon pool or about the water tentacle. They exchanged some theories, but the four of them came up with one thing; they don't know anything anymore.
Rikki and Cleo made her promise that she wouldn't go to the Ireland moon pool if she was there during a full moon. Emma told them she wouldn't and made them promise not to do anything stupid or impulsive.
"When have you ever know us to do something like that." Rikki joked. The trio laughed and shared some stories with Bella.
"Well, there was on time something good came out of it." Emma recalled fondly.
"Which time was that?" Rikki questioned.
"The time you stole Zane's Zodiac and got a stranded on Mako Island." Cleo had the same train of thought.
Their conversation continued for a few more minutes before they had to leave.
Emma was lying in bed, listening to the sound of the rain. It hasn't stopped yet. She finished talking with the girls and her mind began to wander. She was missing so much this year. Her hand instinctively reached for her locket, but found there was nothing their. That's right. I gave it to Cleo. Emma vaguely regretted the decision to leave it back home. But she didn't want to risk losing it.
Her parents would be back anytime now. Emma said she was too jet lagged to join them.
Hearing the continuous rain fall, she began to regret come even more. She didn't really have much of a chose though. It would have been too difficult to come up with a plausible reason for not wanting to go without alarming her parent.
She tried the argument that it was her last year of high school, but her parents argued that she could be spending abroad. How many chances do you get to tour the world her mum had told her. So she had no choice but to smile and fake excitement as she packed her bags and watched her parents go through the process of enrolling her in the online school.
So now she was stuck keeping her secret alone. All she could think about were rainy days and what she would do if a down pour like this one were to happen again only where she was outside. She wished she way back home with the Cleo and Rikki, even Bella seemed like a nice girl.
It sounded like they would have a lot on their hand this year. Emma was doubtful that they would keep in touch, as promised. Thunder boomed outside, lightening light up the dark room. This was going to be a long year.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed! R&R?
so it really bothers me about the reason they gave for Emma's absences because it screams bad idea, it also bothers me how Emma is only mentioned briefly in episode 1.
So this is my take on how to remedy both of those things. Phone call to keep updated and then some of Emma's thoughts.
Also what are you thoughts on me doing a one-shot series thing, I will take requests
