Kinda weird to do a boys POV, but he's the best narrator

Lewis's POV

I don't know how it happened.

How me and Zane and Ash had turned into mermen.

I looked at the charts; we weren't even in the moon pools. Cleo was happy; I wasn't.

I want to know what happened, so we can corner it off, and never go there. Or infest it with sharks so parsers-by wont go there. Of course, the government would be on our case. Ash had reassured me, to him it was fun, to me, and it was annoying. I can't conduct experiments on the water anymore, I'll get wet! It's insane

"Lewis! Are you coming?" I looked up and remembered I was in the Juice Net café, looking at the astrological charts on my computer

"Oh, sure, Cleo. Just working on this." I replied, pressing a button on the screen

"Lewis," Cleo whispered, "It's not fixable."

"I can fix it." I replied firmly. I knew that I needed to.

"Hey, Lewis, what can I get you?" Emma was serving me, with a cocky smile on her face

"A banana blueberry split." I replied, going for a different then my usual, the strawberry shake.

Emma's smile disappeared as she wrote my order down. She turned and walked to the counter. I smiled, but saw Cleo glaring at me.

"What?" I asked indignantly

"You know that Emma and Ash get the Strawberry Shake in stock especially for you." Cleo answered coldly

"Cleo, I just wanted a change." I protested, hoping I could win her over

No such luck.

"You want a change?" She laughed "Get a tail!"

Everyone was silent in the café, looking towards Cleo. Emma sensed trouble and said,
"That's right, folks! Dogs are man's best friends!"

The café was filled with nods and debating whether dogs are mans best friend

Emma came up to me with my drink and bill. I read the bill and cried,

"Fifty dollars?"

Emma nodded, "Yep. For the Strawberry Shake order that we just paid for, for nearly uncovering our secret and for the blueberry split."

Emma and Cleo did twin smirks. I just slammed the glass on the table, shattering it. I picked up my computer and threw the bill in their faces. I walked out, as angry as a bull. I knew that they were shocked; I rarely ever lose my temper. They weren't worried about their day-to-day actives. I went down to the jetty, and hid my laptop in my secret compartment. Unwillingly, I jumped in the water, and raced for Mako.

Once I reached the safety of the moon pool, I pulled myself up and dried myself with the towel that we always kept her. I used my power to stop time, and wandered around Mako, until I reached the top. I could see the see from up here. I pulled my binoculars out of the tree, and saw Ash, Emma, Cleo, Rikki and Zane swim to the moon pool. They wouldn't find me up here. I made sure my tracks were covered, but I also made sure that I wouldn't get lost. I saw the group exit the cave, using a secret passage that Ash had built using his powers, the ability to move wet things. We'd slathered water over a section of the wall, and Ash had cut it out. Zane's power allowed him to communicate with all creatures underwater. I crept up higher as they walked on the beach, steam dried, thanks to Rikki. How I loathed the fact that I was freezing, and they were comfortable at their real body temperature. Ash pointed up to the trees, suggesting the possibility that I was hiding. I threw my binoculars, suggesting I was in a different part of the trees. The group ran off, and I scrambled higher. I was nearly at the very top of the island. I broke threw the trees. Just at the base of a huge rock, I stepped in a puddle. I realised my mistake, then I flopped to the ground, sporting a tail, and no way to get dry.
