Chapter 1- Who's that Girl (by Hilary Duff)

Emma's POV

It was a warm summer's day on the Gold Coast. I still felt a little jetlagged after flying in to Australia from Nicaragua last night, which marked the end of my families and my own adventure around the world. Don't get me wrong, it was absolutely amazing doing all the things we did & seeing all the things we saw, but it was good to be back. I hadn't called my friends to let them know that I was returning from the trip yet as I wanted to give them a big surprise, little did I know they were giving me a few back.

As I reached the front of the café that I had once known as the 'Juicenet Café' which used to be me and my friends hang out place, I noticed that that sign which signified the name had been removed and was replaced with a large neon pink 'Rikki's' sign (please explain!) that was hanging proudly above my head.

There were places we would go at midnight
There were secrets that nobody else would know
There's a reason but I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
I thought they all belonged to me

As I walked into the café I realized the sign wasn't the only change that had been made to the venue in the time I was gone travelling the world with my family. The café I knew had been decorated with items that matched the 50's surf theme; the café I was standing in currently couldn't be more different. The large room was modern looking and had been embellished with expensive looking items & the walls were painted with bright, bold colours. As I stood by the beaded entrance I had a feeling of complete bewilderment, triggered by all the unfamiliar sights all around me. The best way I can think of describing the feeling was similar to that of being winded.

Seems like everything's the same around me
Then I look again and everything has changed
I'm not dreaming so I don't know why
I don't know why

As I slowly gained my composure I took a deep breath and searched around the room in search of familiarity. Something! Anybody! That's when I saw my best friend Cleo Sertori and her boyfriend Lewis McCartney sitting together at one of the fancy blue crescent moon-shaped tables, laughing happily with a group of about 4 other people. I walked over to the table feeling an enormous amount of relief and confidence surge through me. As the room became clearer I spotted my other very close friend Rikki Chadwick and her boyfriend Zane Bennett sitting together at the same table also with beaming faces showing that they were clearly enjoying themselves too. The remaining two people were a blonde haired boy and girl sitting at the table with my close friends. Both of which looked completely unfamiliar to me.

Cleo was the first to notice me. As soon as she did she came running, enveloping me in a big warm hug. As we drew apart from the hug I got a better look at Cleo she was wearing a stunning summery blue dress which suited her tanned complexion and I noticed she looked different. Sure she had straighter, longer hair and her beautiful features were becoming more adultish than teenagerish but that wasn't it. It was gone. The locket was gone. The unique locket that myself, Cleo and Rikki had were one of a kind, not something you could buy in stores or at Jewellers, they were completely identical silver lockets with 3 waves on the back the only difference being that each of the three lockets had a differing colour stone at the top of it, just before the chain. Rikki's stone was a fiery garnet red colour, Cleo's was a calm bluish violet colour and my own was a flawless white stone. Not only did those unique lockets symbolize our friendship but also our very unique secret.

About 2 years ago -thanks to Rikki- we got stuck at sea on Zane's boat (but that's a whole other story) and we wound up in the Moon Pool on Mako Island, and then at the right place at the right time magic happened. Anyway now we each have a mermaid tail which appears 10 seconds after we touch water and it disappears completely when we are dry; don't go thinking that we just sit around in cafes with our tails randomly flopping around! Along with the tails we also received some really awesome powers. I have the ability to snap freeze things and create blizzards, Cleo can move and warp water as well as create winds & Rikki's power is to heat or boil things as well as creating fire. I just assumed the chain broke or something similar, but that didn't explain the presence of the beautiful blue stone that was on a brown leather chain in replacement of it…

Rikki was the second one from the group to notice me, when she saw me she quickly pushed passed Zane and came over to me and Cleo, wrapping me in a hug. Her locket was gone also and was replaced with a similar necklace as Cleo's with the blue gem on the brown leather. "Maybe hers has tarnished" I thought to myself in desperation, but the logical side of my brain concluded that if Cleo's locket had been sitting in the moon pool's water untouched for 50 years and still looks as good as new, then the odds of Rikki's identical necklace tarnishing are almost zilch. I also noticed that she too had changed in the time I was gone. Rikki looked a lot older, more mature and definitely more feminine. Her previous attire of black, red and white clothing that she would wear before I left had been replaced with an aqua blue top with a light blue under top and black mini shorts. Also instead of her hair hanging in tomboy looking ponytails with a fringe, her white blonde curly hair was in a bun with a few of her blonde curls hanging freely. I couldn't help but think that if Rikki had changed then I hate to think what else has!

Lewis and Zane then left the table and joined in Rikki and Cleo greeting me, leaving the blonde boy and girl at the table together. They had changed too. Lewis looked a bit cooler, dropping a bit of the nerdy, scientist look he used to posses. He was wearing cargo pants with a trendy green and orange plaid top.

Zane looked different and older sporting a shorter haircut. He was wearing a short grey top with black jeans.

While my friends were asking me questions, I kept an eye on the boy and the girl at the table who were whispering and sharing puzzled looks, then a couple of minutes after Lewis and Zane came over they too joined us silently and awkwardly.

I'm the one who made you laugh
Who made you feel
And made you sad
I'm not sorry
For what we did
For who we were
I'm not sorry
I'm not her

It felt like they were asking questions for a lifetime that I was only giving half hearted answers to, as most of my attention was focused on the blondes, particularly the girl.

The blonde girl was very pretty with her slightly tanned skin in a yellow summer dress. I also noticed that she was wearing the same necklace as Rikki and Cleo. The blonde boy however, looked athletic looking. He wore a top that looked like a cross between Lewis and Zane's, and he also wore brown shorts. Rikki was halfway through asking about what was the most scenic country I saw (proving again that Rikki has changed) when I blurted out of nowhere "Who are you?" directed at the two blondes.

My sudden question brought on a silence as Cleo began playing with her bottom lip gently, a trait she displayed when she was nervous, Rikki and Zane shared worried looks, Lewis stood there analyzing the question mentally, while the victims of the question were standing there uncomfortably.

Who's that girl?
Where's she from?
No she can't be the one
That you want
That has stolen my world
It's not real, it's not right
It's my day, it's my night
By the way
Who's that girl living my life?
Oh no, living my life
