Hey guys! For anyone who read my previous story it was kind of rushed and bad so I this is like a redo of that story!

Bella, Cleo, and Rikki walked into Rikki's cafe. They greeted Zane with a wave before claiming a table towards the back, farthest away from the "no-go zone", where Sophie worked.

Although Sophie had made up for most of the things she did after the three mermaids created the tower of light, they still steered clear of her just so that it would stay that way. Rikki called Zane over.

"Mango smoothies all around, please." She said confidently. Zane nodded. "Would that be all, or would you also like to order a kiss?" He winked at Rikki as Cleo and Bella rolled their eyes. "In your dreams." Rikki said. "Yes, actually it is. Often." Zane replied. Rikki shooed him away and the three mermaids took to talking about boys.

"Will and I are having fun swimming together, and he understands that I'm a person again now." Bella said. Rikki rolled her eyes. "You two are too cute together." She said as another waitress delivered their mango smoothies. Cleo sipped her smoothie. "You've been unusually quiet, what's up with you?" Bella asked. Cleo shrugged. "Louis hasn't called all week." She said. "It's like he's avoiding me again." Rikki smiled. "Oh, don't worry. He's not." Cleo look at Rikki with the "yeah-right" look. "He's planning a surprise for you. But don't tell him I said anything." Cleo smiled. "Aww, that's soo nice of him!" Their conversation was interrupted by Nate saying, "Bella! You're on!" Bella walked to the stage and began singing a classic.

"I thought that life was kind

just a state of mind

then I found you and the sun shone brightly

it's like when you're alone

just pick up the phone

I hear your voice and I dont feel so empty

Ahhh

You can do anything

Ahhhh

'Cause I-I-I believe in all that I can be,

and I-I-I feel like the air now I can breathe

and think about love"

Beep-Beep-Beep!Rikki's phone began to ring it's signature beep. "Yes?" She answered. Rikki signaled for Bella to come down from the stage. "It's for you..." Bella took the phone and walked into the cool room for some privacy. She listened as the caller explained the situation. "No... it-it can't be..."

"I'm sorry, your parents have passed."Those words echoed through her head as she ran out of the cafe and dove into the deep blue ocean outside.
