"Hey, Emma." I say as I open the door, "Come in. I'm Just going to grab my bag before we go." Emma comes inside and I go grab my side bag from on the couch. We leave out the door. I ask, "So, what are we going to do today?"

Emma says, "I actually don't know. Um… Well we could meet my other friends if you'd like. I'll call and ask them where they are."

Emma takes out her phone and dials a number. "Hi, Cleo… I was wondering if you guys wanted to hang out… No that's bad idea. I made a friend, and I want to introduce her... Ricki's? Is she okay with that?... Okay, see you in a few." Emma hangs up.

She says to me, "Okay, we can go meet my friends at Ricki's."

I nod and we make our way there. We go in and sit a table and wait, and wait.

Emma says, "I'm sorry, I think something came up. That happens a lot."

"It's okay; I don't mind I'm not a people person anyway. Um… Do you know a place called Mako Island?"

Emma looks at me questionably, and says, "Yes, why?"

"My mom said something about a friend taking us out there. She said I could bring you if that's okay. I'd really like that since I don't like water, and I'll probably go insane camping." I say.

"Um… I'll have to ask my mum; I'll go call her. I'll be a minute." Emma get's up and walks away.


Emma's POV

I pull out my phone and call Cleo. I mumble, "Pick up."

Cleo answers and says, "Sorry, fish emergency. I would have called you and asked for your help, but I assumed you wouldn't want to ditch your friend."

"I also have a fish emergency. Melody's mum is bringing her to Mako tonight. Should I go with her? She and her sister are very adventurous and I fear they'll find the moon pool." I say.

"Wait… is her mum's friend bringing her?" Cleo asks.

I ask, "How'd you know?"

Cleo says, "My dad's bringing us. Rikki's coming too, Bella's grounded and won't. You should come."

"Okay, I'll ask my mum. See you then."

I hang up and call my mum, "Hi, Emma."

"Melody wants to go camping with me tonight on Mako, can I go?"

"Alright. I'm okay with that."


Melody's POV

We go to Emma's to get her camping stuff. I'm sitting on her bed, when her little brother walks in the room.

He turns to me, "Who are you?"

I smile and say, "Melody, you must be Elliot. It's nice to meet you."

I hold out my prostatic arm, he takes it and shakes it.

He says, "I don't want to be rude, but why don't you have an arm?"

"I got attacked by a shark." I say.

Elliot asks, "Does it hurt? What kind of shark was it?"

I shake my head, "No it never hurts. The shark is called Blue Shark."

"Elliot!" A woman calls from downstairs.

Elliot says, "Bye. It was nice meeting you, Melody." He runs downstars.

Emma turns to me, "A shark attack? Those don't happen too often."

"Well, you're lucky you've never been in one. Anyways, let's go over to my place so I can pack."

"Alright."


AN: 1. I feel bad for posting on this story again and not one of my others, but I go through fazes of obsession and right now it is mermaids and made up religions. 2. Do you think Melody will get along with Cleo and Rikki? 3. Any ideas on how… a) They find out about each others powers. b) How Melody meets Nate (later in the story) 4. I hope you enjoy this story and I will be posting as much as I can. When I have a chapter and a review I'll post the next chapter.
