This is just an idea that popped into my head one day. So far the story is in Rikki's POV, but I'm not sure if it'll stay like that.

Plot: Zane tells Rikki he loves her and she says she loves him back, but when Rikki's mermaid powers disapper she'll have to dig deep inside herself to get them back.

I looked out over the ocean and was taking in the beauty when I felt someone staring at me. I looked to my left and sure enough Zane was smiling at me with a big smile.

"What?" I asked, feeling a little self conscious.

"You're beautiful," He said.

"Thanks Zane, that almost makes up for the way you acted back there." I replied bitterly.

"Come on Rikki, I apologized to you and to the owner." He pleaded. Zane and I had gone on a date to some fancy resturant and he walked in there acting like he owned the place. It was almost as if Mr. Self-Absorbed was coming back.

I ignored him and continued to look at the ocean, when Zane playfully pushed me towards the water. "Zane!" I yelled. "That wasn't funny," I said.

"Look, I have something really important to tell you." He said seriously.

"You're actually Zane's twin brother, and the Zane I like is going to come back?" I asked half joking, half hoping.

"Haha, very funny. No what I have to say is actually pretty important." He grabbed my hands and looked me straight in the eyes. "I love you."

"What?" My eyes bulged out.

"I said, I love you." He repeated.

"I love you too Zane," I said with a smile.

Zane started to say something, but my cell phone beeped. It was a message from Cleo.

Come on, it's almost 9 o'clock

"Sorry, Zane but I have to go." I said.

"Another secret?" He asked as I walked away.

I shook my head no and turned back towards him, but his attention was already focused on two bikini-clad girls walking up the boardwalk. I sighed and headed towards Cleo's house.

"Rikki come on!" They yelled as I got closer. It started to rain and I ran fast, but I felt a rain drop on the back of my neck.

"Shoot," I muttered and waited for the tail to come. But nothing happened. I looked over at Cleo and Bella and they both had shocked looks. I ran inside after I realized the tail wasn't coming.

"I'll go call Lewis." Cleo said as I dried off.

"How was the date?" Bella asked from the couch. She was keeping her distance, so she didn't get wet.

"He told me he loved me." I said with a smile.

"Do you love him too?" Bella asked with an eager smile.

I looked out at the rain. "Yeah," I said. I turned back to her. "I do."

"Well, I think that's the problem." Bella said. I snapped my attention towards her.

"What?"

"You don't love him," She said calmly.

So good, bad, what did you think? Please review!
