Rikki's suprise here and there.

It was a warm day in the gold coast, like always. The sea gull's we're out in the sun, the beach was packed with lot's of people, the sky was as blue as the clear ocean and the clouds looked like fluffy balls of candy floss.

Rikki was walking around, on her own, as she was quit happy. She liked being on her own, she felt more free to do anything. Although, she did miss Cleo and Bella an awful lot as she hardly got to see them anymore. She also missed Emma more than anything, every though the two had there diffrences, she was one of her best friends. She missed the way Emma used to push her to do her homework, she missed the way Emma would come to her and Cleo for advice, she just missed Emma so much. The only way she could contact her anymore was by emailing.

Infact, in her last email, Emma had told Rikki she was now touring South Africa; It was beautiful, as she described it.

Rikki was on her way walking home near the grass around the trailer sight, when Zane run up to her.

"Hey!" He called from behind her.

The two we're now friends, but some times they we're off, sometimes they we're on. Zane was still deeply inlove with Rikki, and he admited he had made his mistakes, he'd do anything to have her back. Rikki was still kind of inlove with him, too, but she didn't want to admit it, she would just denie it to herself and lie.

"Hey!" She called back, turning round to see Zane running to try and catch up with her. He was smiling. He always smiled when he was around Rikki, she made him feel so happy, and Rikki couldn't help but do the same.

"So, when's the mermaid club up?" Zane asked.

"Mermaid club?" She glaired at him, with a half-smile 'trying her hardest not to smile' face on, I didn't work, I't never did, she'd always be able to smile even if she was pushing it back.

"Ya know, when you, Cleo and Bella meet up for the black outs?" Zane replied, with a checky smile on his face.

"Oh! Yeah, we're totally over that. That full moon ain't got anything on us!" Rikki joked, this time, her smile had grown wider.

"So, what you doing tonight?"

"Nothing.."

"Don't suppose you'd like to come out for some thing to eat..with me?" Zane smiled, trying to win Rikki's heart was easy for him, he thought to himself, he just needed to be persuasive.

"Zane, we've been through this, we're just friends." Rikki replied with a stern look on her face, but her heart said she wanted to go with him, but she couldn't, she shouldn't, she told herself.

"Friends with benifits?" Zane asked, raising an eyebrow.

"No, just freinds." She pointed out to him, this time smiling.

The two we're walking towards Rikki's home.

"So, friends can hug, right?" Zane added in, smiling and trying to tease Rikki.

"You just don't stop, do you?" Rikki smiled, her white teeth shining like pearls in the sun.

"Did any one ever tell you your cute when you smile?" Zane asked.

"Zane! We're friends remember!" She reminded him, giving him a little poke.

"How could I forget." Zane replied, "So how about that hug?" He requested, as they had walked all the way to Rikki's home.

"Fine." Rikki said, smiling away.

Zane wrapped his arms around her, and Rikki wrapped her arms around him. They must of hugged for atleast 5 seconds.

"Okay, hug's over!" As Rikki tugged herself away.

"I'll see you later!" Zane told her, giving her a wink and then walking away.

"See you.." Rikki said quietly, so only she could hear. Her smile faded.

She approached the door of her trailer, and turnt the door handle, only to open it and find a horrid sight, her dad with another women sitting down on the sofa, having a cup of tea. The women had brown short hair, green eye's, and from as far as Rikki could see, she was very tall. Not only that, but she spotted two children playing with her own make-up and her old toys, which she still kept under her bed. Rikki was furious. Who where these people?

Rikki charged to the children, to snatch her stuff away from them.

"Who are these people and what are they doing in here, playing with MY stuff?" Rikki yelled at her loudest voice.

The room was silent. Her dad finally rose up from his chair to have the courage to tell her. "Rikki, I've meet someone." He said, smiling away, whilst inside, Rikki was emediently breaking.
