GUILT

AUTHOR'S NOTE/DISCLAIMER

Takes place directly after "Stormy Weather" and goes with the idea that the girls have been regularly visiting Miss Chatham in the facility. H20: Just Add Water belongs to Jonathan M. Schiff, , and everyone else involved with the show. I only own this idea.

"It was only for a minute, but I could see that he was afraid of us. It was awful," Cleo lamented. Hate that he was frightened of us. Can't believe we hurt him, she moped.

"Were you and your friends ever affected by moon like that?" Emma wondered. If so, maybe she can tell us how to keep it from happening again, she mused. The last thing she wanted was to hurt Lewis again.

"No," Louise Chatham replied. "But then again, we didn't have someone who helped us as much as your friend has," she continued. At this, the girls nodded.

"I just-I hope we haven't ruined things between us all," Rikki stated.

"I doubt you have. From what you've told me, you four have always got on," the woman assured.

"But we hurt him. It's too much to forgive," Rikki reminded.

"Oh nonsense. I'm sure you'll get it sorted," Louise stated. "After all, you've all been friends for a long time." At this, the younger girls nodded. The woman was right of course. Maybe it would take some time, but Lewis would forgive them.

"Thanks…for listening," Cleo stated.

"Of course," Louise replied. "Now then, best be getting off. Don't want your olds worrying." With this, the girls nodded and headed out.

"Do you think she's right?" Cleo queried timidly. Don't want to lose him, she thought to herself.

"Of course. He knows that we would never hurt him intentionally and that the moon does strange things to us," Rikki assured.

"I still feel bad," Cleo admitted.

"I know. I do too," Emma agreed. They all looked at one another and they instantly knew the other was thinking the same thing: the guilt was going to remain for a long time…
