Author's note: This is a story from Rikki's POV. I wrote this one in honor of zikki4ever123 who gave me the inspiration for it.
Old days!
My name's Rikki Chadwick. I'm a young woman with an extra life. A mermaid-life.
Being a mermaid and being friends with Cleo and Emma has made me a better person than I used to be. Yes, I'm still me. A sassy, strong, sexy rebel-girl who put herself first no matter what, but I've learned to sometimes shut all of that off and be nice and lady-like.
Before I met Cleo and Emma I really didn't have any close friends. Before that day when I saved Cleo after she got stuck in the middle of the water in Zane's boat I had never thought that she and I would become friends. I had seen her in school and stuff, but we had never spoken to each other. Not even a few words such as hello or bye.
And Emma. Who knew that I could ever become friends with a girl that's different from me in almost every way?
She's nearly the complete opposite of me. She always do good in school. I don't really care about school. I drink alcohol and have sex. Emma has never done any of that. Emma is always a lady in public. I'm totally ready to kick some serious ass if I need to.
She is still my friend though and even if we seem to fight over almost everything we care about each other very much.
If I had to pick only one of my friends I think I would go with Cleo. She's more like me than Emma has ever been. Cleo may not be as much of a sexy rebel as I am, but she's not a little 'Miss Perfect' like Emma.
I wonder what my life would be like if I had never met Cleo and Emma. Would I be the same woman I am today?
Probably not. I would probably not be in school anymore. I would probably be a stripper at some unknown nighclub somewhere.
The old Rikki, the Rikki I was before I became a mermaid would never admit it, but I love my friends and thanks to them I am the woman I am today. Still the same Rikki that I've always been, though now I also have a soft side that sometimes is much more powerful than my dear Rikki-ego could ever be.
The old Rikki had no faith in the power of friendship. In the old days I didn't care about anyone other than myself and my dad.
Thanks to Cleo and Emma I'm a much more friendly girl these days. Big surprise, maybe?
Never forget that if you hurt my friends in any way Rikki is gonna kick your ass so freakin' bad that you'll run home to your mom crying like a little kid.
Though if you're nice to me and my friends and respect the true Rikki you don't have to be afraid of me. I'm not evil or anything like that.
Call me a slut, call me a bitch. I don't care. I am who I am, okey?
I'm Rikki, the sassy rebel-girl who's also a sexy mermaid too.
See ya! Bye!
The End.
