H2O: Just Add Survival 2: Race Against Time
Author's Notes!
Hey, guys, it's me, Alyssa! Anyway, I just wanted to say some stuff. First of all, if you haven't read H2O: Just Add Survival 1, go read it or nothing will make sense! Second of all, I have decided to make H2O: Just Add Survival 3! (It will involve time-travel, hint, hint) Also, since the prologue is short, I'm putting little character profiles here to fill in some space.
The Mermaids:
Emma "Em" Gilbert: 19 years old, majoring in English, leader of the original trio of mermaids (and Bella, of course). She is very organized and loves responsibility. Voted Most Likely to Succeed in high school.
Cleo Setori: 19 years old, majoring in Biology, dolphin trainer at the local marine park. Currently in a relationship with Lewis McCartney. She used to be shy, but is now outgoing. Voted Teacher's Pet in high school.
Rikki Chadwick: 19 years old, majoring in Forensics, little bit of a rebel. Used to date Zane Bennett until he started going out with Sophie Benjamin. She enjoys hanging out at Mako Island and annoying all of her friends. Voted Worst Driver in high school.
Isabella "Bella" Hartley: 19 years old, majoring in Music and Drama, musical one of the group. Currently in a relationship with Will Benjamin. Recently, both she and Will bought Rikki's and have renovated it into one of the hottest cafes in town. (It is still named Rikki's.) Voted Best Smile in high school.
Natalie "Nat" DeGrand: 18 years old, going to major in U.S. History, lives in Florida. She is going to attend UCLA in the fall so she can be close to Andrea. Nat is very kind to her friends. Voted Most Changed in high school.
Andrea Wilkens: 11 years old, lives in California with Natalie, orphaned when she was 8. She used to live on a cruise ship with her brother, but decided to live with Natalie after deciding to never step on another ship again. She is the newest mermaid to the group.
The Boyfriends:
Lewis McCartney: 19 years old, majoring in Biology, first one to know about the original trio of mermaids. In a relationship with Cleo Setori. He has tried and failed to discover the secret behind their powers, so he has just accepted that it was magic.
Ash Dove: 19 years old, majoring in Journalism, member of the equestrian team at his college. In a relationship with Emma Gilbert. He found out about Emma's secret two years ago right before he left the Gold Coast to join a special horse program in Kentucky. He just recently moved back to Australia to start college.
Will Benjamin: 19 years old, majoring in Tourism, most recent guy to find out about the girls' secret. In a relationship with Bella Hartley. He is a successful free diver, but is now using his talents to swim with Bella instead of competing. Will and Bella successfully run Rikki's Café in their free time.
Alexander "Alex" Wilkens: 25 years old, steward on the cruise ship Siren of the Pacific II, does not know about his sister's secret. Natalie has a slight crush on him. He works a lot on the ship and tries to visit his little sister Andrea as much as possible.
The Enemies:
Dr. Linda Denman: evil scientist that almost revealed the girls' secret four years ago. She recently returned to the Gold Coast, not willing to let go of her old experiment. Whether or not she will is unknown.
Sophie Benjamin: 20 years old and overall jerk who steals Zane from Rikki and is an enormous pest. (A/N: I really despise Sophie, even though she's more of a rival than an enemy. I also used to like 'Zikki' until Zane broke up with Rikki in season 3 so I think that she's better off alone than with him. P.S. Rikki will get a boyfriend in H2O: Just Add Survival 3!) Sophie attends college in Sydney with Zane, who is her boyfriend. She decided to give up Rikki's after Zane went broke and let Will and Bella buy it.
Now on to the prologue!
Early June, 1650
Somewhere in the South Pacific
FLASH! A blur streaked through the night sky. It was a comet, a comet that had never been seen by Earth before. It wasn't going to hit anything; it was simply passing right over the atmosphere.
As it passed over a shallow part of the sea, three shrub sized pieces of rock got knocked off, hitting the water. A blue light flooded the sky when they hit, brightening the sky in California, a five day journey by boat.
Four hundred years passed, the magic inside the crystals of the rocks causing the quick formation of three small islands. One was the island that Ashley, and eventually the rest of the girls, washed up on. Another one was the first island Bella wrecked on. The final one was Emma's island….
Present Day
Once again, the comet was heading towards Earth. Now, this was not Eva's comet. It was even more massive than that comet. If this comet hit Earth, it would be pulled to three islands, not just one. The force of the hit would destroy half the world in a matter of minutes. There wasn't much time until it happened….
