A/N: Sorry it took me so long to update again. I went on holidays and my mum wouldn't let me take my laptop, and don't think that I hve just dropped off the face of the earth with my other story (The one that I wrote), I have the next chapter of it in my ittle notebook, and will write it up ASAP. Anyway, on with the story! Oh, and sorry about the jumping back and forth between people's POV's.
Disclaimer: I do not own H2O, or any of its characters.
Earlier That Day,
Sarah POV
The new girl, Alisha, looked quite familiar. I thought that I had seen her somewhere before, and when the teacher had said that her last name was McCartney, I let out a gasp. McCartney was the last name of my mother, Charlotte, her first boyfriend. After her friends betrayed her, he left her for his best friend, and ex-girlfriend, Cleo Setori, and my mum was really angry at them, especially after they took away her powers (she wouldn't tell me what 'powers' meant, but when she found out that I am like she was, she told me) and she always wanted revenge on them for that, as her grandma was a mermaid too, so the thought that it was her right. The bell then rang and I hurried out of the class room.
The Next Day,
Jane POV
The next day I was thinking about Alisha's strange behaviour. The only thing that I thought of that would explain it was if she was a mermaid. I kept thinking about how to test if it was true, without getting myself wet, and if I got wet, and she wasn't a mermaid, it my secret would be revealed, and then she might tell scientists about me, and I don't want to be dissected. An idea then sprung into my head, which would work, as long as I had a towel nearby. I then got up, headed to my locker to grab the towel that I had in there for PE, saw Alisha, and dragged her towards the bathroom to confront her.
Kate POV
I saw Jane looking like she was deep in thought, which was something that she rarely did. She must have been thinking about something really hard, to have an expression like that. She then got up, headed towards her locker and grabbed a towel, 'Why a towel?' I thought, but kept following her. She then grabbed Alisha's sleeve and pulled her towards the bathroom. I decided to follow her, I guess my mother's nature rubbed off on me, and I stood in a cubicle, peering through the cracks. As Jane turned the tap on, I let out a gasp. They turned towards me.
Alisha POV
I turned around from my locker to see Jane heading towards me with a towel in her hand. I immediately started to get nervous. I mean a towel is generally used when something involves water. She grabbed my sleeve and dragged me towards the bathroom, which was across the hallway. I thought that I saw someone following her, but I just passed it off as my overactive imagination. We got into the bathroom and she stood next to the sink, put the towel down, unbeknownst to her, in a water puddle, and said to me, "I know what you are."
"What do you mean? I have no clue what you are talking about." I said, trying not to let my voice shake. Instead of answering my question, she turned the tap on. I shook even more. She put her hand under the water and we heard a gasp. We turned around just as one of the cubicle doors opened and Kate fell out. I felt a slight wetness on my shoulder, and saw Kate get splattered with a few drops of water. I felt a little bit weird and next thing I knew, I was on the floor with my tail. Just before I fell I turned around to see Jane franticly searching for a dry spot on the little tea towel that she had. She couldn't find one and fell to the ground just before I did. We heard a flop coming from behind us, and turned around to see Kate on the floor as a mermaid as well. We just stood there, staring at each other, Jane dried herself off, stood up, wiping her hands on her uniform, and said to us; "I will dry you off, as long as you promise to explain to me what is going on!"
"All I know is that you dragged me in here and next minute I was on the floor as a mermaid!" I said after she had dried me off.
"I followed you, because I wanted to see what was going on." Kate said sheepishly.
"I always thought that I was the only mermaid in Australia, or at least in Canberra (A/N: The capital of Australia, look it up if you want), as Canberra isn't even on the coast!" Jane said.
"I only just moved here, and I moved here from the coast." I said to them. Just then we heard voices on the other side of the door, and decided that we would talk about it another time.
A/N: I hope that you liked it! Anyway, the next chapter will be typed up and posted ASAP (which will probably be about a week), and in the meantime, I would like to give you a little quiz. Who are Sarah, Kate, Kylie, Jane and Alisha's parents? Winner (or first one to answer correctly, gets a sneak peek at the next chapter! (And yes, I know that some of their parents were named, but you have to answer them in the same order as they were listed, otherwise, no sneak peek!) Oh and once again, review!
