The girls awoke in Emma's living room, dazed and confused at what happened the previous night. The guys walked through the door.
"Well, it's about time you girls woke up. We've been calling and texting you all morning," Lewis said.
"Sorry, Lewis. We just… can't remember what happened last night," Cleo said.
"Oh. You two went crazy on one another, Bella discovered her weather power, Rikki burned you guys, and Cleo lifted you two into the moon pool as the full moon passed over. Okay, hope that explains everything," Will said, indication towards his girlfriend and Emma.
"We went crazy?" Emma questioned, confused by what he meant.
"Bella and Emma fought over who deserved to be in the group," Zane revealed.
"What?! OMG Emma I am so sorry!" Bella said, hugging her new friend close.
"Me, too. You deserve to be in the group as much as I do," Emma said.
The two continued to hug, until Bella pulled away as she realized something.
"Wait, I have a weather power?"
"Yes. You can create and control earthquakes," Lewis said.
"Guess that we have to help you control them," Emma told the other mermaid.
And control them they did. Apparently, Bella's earthquakes were caused by how her emotions caused. So, when she started to get upset or mad, aftershocks would begin. But eventually, she was able to control her emotions more and, therefore, her earthquakes. Hours later, it was the afternoon, and the girls were exhausted.
"Well that's enough for today," Cleo said.
"Yeah, I think that we should probably practice our other powers. Just to be sure," Emma said, not wanting any more surprises.
"Yeah, but - Emma! Where are you?!" Rikki yelled, not seeing her friend anywhere.
"What are you talking about? I'm right here," Emma said, returning to her friends' sight.
"Emma, you just turned… invisible," Rikki revealed.
"You mean… I have another power?" Emma realized.
"Yeah. You just held your hand in a fist close to you, and you turned invisible," Cleo revealed, stunned.
"Wow! Maybe the others have new powers, too…"
"Who said that?" Bella asked, confused by the thought in her mind.
"What?" Rikki said.
"I heard someone say 'Wow! Maybe the others have new powers, too…'" Bella exclaimed.
"I… thought that," Emma revealed. "I guess that if you heard that, then…"
"Bella can read minds!" Cleo realized.
Bella was awestruck. Not only did she have the ability to control and create earthquakes, but she could read minds, too. This was amazing!
"Wow! I have two new powers," Bella discovered.
"What do you think we can do?" Cleo asked.
"I don't know. Try your hand motions out," Emma suggested.
Cleo was first, concentrating her power on a book on the counter. It began to levitate in mid-air, then dropped to the counter as she dropped her hand. Rikki tried next, but could not find her new power. She slumped into one of the chairs.
"This is so unfair. How come you guys get new powers, and I don't?" Rikki asked.
"Maybe it's like last time. You're probably a late bloomer, again."
"Maybe you're right. I'm going to get a drink," Rikki said, getting up to go to the fridge. She didn't notice her hand still in a fist.
Then, in the blink of an eye, Rikki was at the fridge, getting a bottle of water out. After that, she was back to her seat.
"Rikki! You just teleported!" Bella exclaimed, exciting the blonde.
"Really?! Yes! I have a new power!" Rikki squealed, jumping up and down.
"We should tell the guys about this!" Cleo suggested.
"Yeah, let's go!" the others said.
What do you think of the girls' new powers? To recap: Cleo has Telekinesis, Rikki has Teleportation, Bella has Telepathy, and Emma has Invisibility.
So, tell me what you think of the story so far, and tell me some ideas for the other chapters.
