An idea I wanted to try out. If you want me to continue please let me know. I have a basic direction for the story but would love to here some other thoughts. This is my take of what would happen if it had made it past season 3 at lest what I would have liked to see happen.
Chapter 2 Ruckus at Rikki's or The Rikki Ruckus
Sophie liked Zane that much was clear, what wasn't clear was how much Zane had to tell her and show her that he was not interested in her before she would stop trying. Now, that Rikki and Zane where back together it was only natural for Rikki to start hanging out at the café again. On thing that was not unnoticed or appreciated by one certain individual. Today, Zane was secluded to be out all day in a couple of meetings. He had asked Rikki to stop in and pick up a few papers that he had left there because he wouldn't have time to run to the café and back between meetings. He had called down to the café to make sure that they knew to give Rikki the papers when she got there so she wouldn't have to go searching for them to save some time. Sophie wanting to be the one to come to the rescue deiced that this would be her opportunity to not only squish 'the Rikki bug' but to also be the one Zane needed. So when Rikki got there Sophie wanted to sure that Rikki was given the wrong stack of papers.
A hour before she was suppose to arrive to pick up the papers Rikki, Cleo and Bella all walked into the café and took a seat at one of the table. They had each ordered a smoothie and had sat there talking for a while. Giving Sophie just enough time to slip into the office and grab the papers so that she could give Rikki something else instead. After the girls finished there drinks Cleo and Bella had said good bye and told Rikki that they where going for a swim near Mako if she wanted to join them when she finished. Rikki walked over to the office and just as she was about to open the door it opened and out walked Sophie. "Oh, I was just getting this for you. Zane had ask that we have is ready for you to pick up when you got here but we had not expected you for another hour so I came to do so as soon as I had a minute. Here you go." Sophie said with a visibly fake smile that look like it was painful for her to hold as Rikki tried to pull the papers out of her hands. The only thing that Sophie didn't take into consideration was that Rikki might look at the papers and know the she didn't have the correct papers.
"Nice try but this isn't what he needs now step aside so that I can get them myself." Rikki remarked trying to step around her and into the office.
"Zane doesn't want people in the office when he isn't here so I am sorry but I can't let you in." Sophie pulled the door shut and blocking Rikki's attempts as getting past.
"I am not in the mood for you now and I am sure that he will have no issues with me being in there if he is here or not, now or any other time. So get out of my way now." Rikki's anger was growing more by the second. Knowing that she had lost this round Sophie had let go of her hold on the door allowing the other girl to pass. However this was not the end she needed to stop Rikki from leaving here with the papers. As she was walking over to the bar she got an idea what if there was an accident.
She would need to act fast if this was to work. Sophie ran over to the ice machine in the back room down the hallway just pasted the office and filled the bucket there with ice. Before walking over to the office door and dumping it. She then slowly walked back to get a mop so that she can make it look like she was coming to clean it all up when Rikki just happened to walk out and slip on it.
It wasn't long that she stood in the hallway before Rikki did come out and since she was busy looking over the papers in her hand she had missed the ice all over the ground at the door. Rikki took one step out of the door way stepping where the ice had already started to melt and before she could make another step had slip and fell backwards into the office. Papers where scattered everywhere and absorbing the water from the melting ice but Rikki had other things to worry about now. "Oh, I was just on my way to clean this up I didn't think you would be coming out so soon. Let me help you" Sophie was trying to be as polite as possible hoping that Rikki wouldn't catch on.
"No, I got it. You have done more then enough" Rikki say grabbing as many papers as she could before locking herself back into the office just in time to change into a mermaid. Sophie now smitten with her self cleaned up the ice and went to put the mop away
Unknown to either of the two girls Zane had chosen that minute to walk into the café and was able to catch the whole show. Once Sophie had left he made his was to the office knocking on the door with a "Rikki it's only me I'm going to come in now, ok?" he waited a few seconds before he opened the door. Opening it just enough that he could slip in as he wasn't sure where she was and didn't want to hit her with the door if he could help it or let others get a glimpse. "Rikki, what happened?"
Rikki steam dried her self. "That little bitch waiter of yours wouldn't give me the papers so I had to come in here to get the correct ones myself. And when I came out there was ice all over." She had finished drying her self and was now walking over to the door. "if she wants to fight then that is what's going to happen I can't take any more of this crap from her. It ends now"
Zane had grabbed a hold of here arm. "I can't let you do that. She purposely set you up and put you in danger, I will fire her and this time she won't be coming back." Zane sat her down on the couch and called Sophie in.
"Zane, I thought you where suppose to be away at meeting all day?" Sophie walked into the office not knowing that he saw thinking that he was going to ask her to help fix the papers that got ruined in the melting ice.
"One of the meetings got cut short when the guy was called away. I thought I would come and surprise Rikki and take her out to lunch only instead I find the two of you fighting. Something you should know better then to do especially while working. You crossed the line and put somebody in danger, luckily she wasn't hurt but your still fired for your horrible judgment and actions that had put others in danger while at work." Zane finished with Sophie and once she had left had walked over and sat down with Rikki. "I can't blame you or say I didn't expect it but couldn't you have tried?"
"With her, NO. To much have already happened and things will never be alright between me and her. And you know very well why it can't be. I did not like you working anywhere near her and I am glad that she is now gone."
