This story is set about two years after the events of season 3. I'm sorry I didn't start the story from the end of season three, but there was
not much to tell. Emma has returned with Ash right after the end of season 3. Lewis came back the next year.
Prologue
This year, Cleo, Lewis, Rikki, Bella, and Emma, went on a short trip to the mountains. While there, they met a man named Barlow Hogan who
offered to show them around. At first they were hesitant, but eventually began to trust him. He was driving the vehicle and everyone was
talking together, when he spoke. " I know your secret. "what?" they all said at once. " Now call a certain scientist whom I believe you all know,
and tell her that you have four mermaids for her to see." He aid to Lewis. Lewis Looked disgusted and shocked. "How did you find out again?"
Asked Emma. " I have my ways. And if you don't call her, I'll drive us all off that cliff." He said pointing to the near ledge. Cleo looked scared out
of her socks and Rikki started yelling as Barlow swayed the car closer to the cliff. Emma just glared and Bella was still in shock. Lewis
promptly turned off his phone and threw it over the side of the car with a look of triumph. "there. Now I have no phone to call anyone with. "
He declared. The car swerved toward the edge and one tire moved off the edge. "Lewis! use my phone!" Cried Cleo desperately. " NO! She'll
kill you!" Lewis shouted back with the same tone in his voice. " If you don't, we'll all die for sure; and you'll die too!" Said Cleo matter-of-factly.
" I can't let you die, Cleo! But I won't be able to live with myself if you died. Any of you. " He said looking from Cleo to Rikki and Emma and
Bella. " Call her, Lewis! Please!" Shouted Cleo. " Are you sure? " He asked, hoping she would say no. " Yes, Lewis. Do it now!" She sobbed. He
made the phone, and they pulled over on the side o the road. " Dr. Denman? Yes, its Lewis. I don't know how you found out, but the girls are
here. Yes they are mermaids. Four of them. Yes, four." He started to say more, but Emma pulled the phone from his hands. Lewis gave her a
curious look,but she turned away and began speaking. " I wish you would just leave us alone, Dr Denman. Why must you meddle with our
lives? we're people too, and I think stalking is against the law. I don't care. Just because we're different doesn't give you the right to harass
us. We have lives too. How would you like it if someone came and messed up your life, trying to find out all your secrets? Yeah, well, I'm fed up
with it. I just got settled back into my life here, and I'm not going to let you mess it up!" she yelled over the phone. Then she hung up.
Everyone was shocked at their quiet, usually very tactful Emma,speaking out and yelling at Dr. Denman. No one could speak because they
were all so surprised at what Emma had said. They expected this sort of thing from Rikki, But Emma? No way.
They decided to walk back to their hotel; but not a word was spoken the whole way back.. they were all pondering how to get out of this
mess. This was going to be tricky. the next day, they all left the hotel, and traveled back to the Gold Coast. Also in total silence.
