Here's the next chapter. For those who looked for my poll and didn't see it, I apparently didn't allow it to be on my profile. Stupid, stupid me. Oh and another thing, I'm not changing the last name to 'Brewer' my opinion it doesn't fit him at all. So in this story it'll stay 'Anderson'. Anyway, on to the chapter!
Third person P.O.V
Kim watched the 2 story house that seemed to drown in the screams and yells of kids. For a second she thought she was at a day-care, not someone's house. She sighed as she remembered how she got into the situation. How she creamed all the other girls in the auditions.
Flashback
Kim glared at Jack who stood in front of the chorus room, the other Surf Warriors sitting in the front row of seats. The place was surprisingly not packed with auditioners but with people cheering on their friends.
"Ok everyone; here's how this is goanna work. You're goanna come up here and sing the chorus of your song. Ok, well let's got the first singer up here. Milton?"
"First up, Alice Chang."
Ok, here we go, gather all around
U don't want to miss this show, if u don't know
It's about to get serious
My energy can make you delirious
Take a chance, if ur curious
Follow my lead, up out ur seat
We're about to
P-A-R-T-Y!
"um Alice, that's not the chorus but thank you. Next Mari Rogue."
Kiss me, k-k-kiss me
Infect me with your loving; fill me with your poison
Take me, t-t-take me
Wanna be a victim, ready for abduction
Boy you're an alien, your touch so foreign
It's supernatural,extra-terrestrial
"thank you Mari." Jack said before whispering to Jerry, "I thought you said she could sing."
"I think when I heard her it was the day I was having those hallucinations."
"Obviously."
About 5 girls after it was Kim's turn. She stood in the front of the room glaring daggers at an unfazed Jack.
"Kimmy, I know I'm cute but that doesn't mean you have to glare at me because of it."
"Shut up Anderson! When this is over, your head is mine."
"Threats, threats. Just get on with the audition Kim."
She glared at him before nodding at Milton to start her CD
A thousand church bells ringing The chemistry is crazy Your love (is off the chain), your love, your love
I can hear the angels singing when you call my name
Your love is off the chain
(Off the chain, chain, off the chain)
And you make me feel amazing
And I can't explain
Your love is off the chain
(Off the chain, chain, off the chain)
(Is off the chain, chain, off the chain)
Your love (is off the chain),
Your love (is off the chain), your love
(Is off the chain, chain, off the chain)
Everyone stared at her in wonder. Kim was starting to feel a little self-conscious when Jack stood next to her and said, "Sorry everyone, the auditions are over. We have our new singer."
.
.
.
"WHAT!" the scene was familiar to the one at Milton's recital. Kim shook Jack like a rag doll by his shirt, yelling how he was doing this on purpose. The girls had to peel her off of him.
End of flashback
Kim sighed again when she heard someone call her name. She looked around before looking up and seeing Jack on the roof.
"Hey you're early. Come on in. the door's open. Just take the stairs to the top floor and it's the last door to the right." Jack then slid down the roof and pulled himself into the window. Kim went in and was surrounded by at least 10 little kids. She saw some similarities to Jerry but others not that much.
"Who are you?" one girl asked
"me? I'm Kim."
"oh, then you're the new singer right?" the same girl asked. At her nod, they all cheered, "Yeah. We didn't like the mean witch. Thank you for saving us."
Witch? "oh you mean Donna. Well not a problem. I shall rid her evil with my voice."
This caused another eruption of cheers.
"Hey, Hey. ¿Qué está pasando? Pensé que te había pedido que lo mantenga abajo."
"Nos sentimos!" the kids yelled back as Jerry came down stairs and started to weave himself through the crowd of kids, "Come on Kim. We're practising upstairs."
As they climbed the stairs, Kim asked who the kids were, "oh just my younger siblings and cousins. My whole family lives with us until we can afford to get a bigger house for them." They entered the room where she saw instruments set up on one side of the room. Jack was sitting on the window ledge, Milton on a beanbag chair reading a college textbook and Eddie doing something on a computer that was near the window. "This is our band room, well the one that's at my house. Each house has one."
"Well since we're all here, let's get started shall we?" Jack said getting off the ledge. Everyone else followed his lead and went to their instruments. Kim sighed once again and pulled her fedora off and put it on her bag, which she put on a beanbag chair.
"We'll do the song you did for the audition ok?"
At her nod, Milton started the song
Twisted, you've shaken my existence A thousand church bells ringing The chemistry is crazy Your love (is off the chain), your love, your love Coming, just keep the magic coming A thousand church bells ringing The chemistry is crazy I'm not the type who gets crazy for someone A thousand church bells ringing The chemistry is crazy Your love (is off the chain), your love, your love Your love, your love,
When I'm with you, baby,
Bliss is all I've come to know (come to me)
Running, I didn't see it coming
Blinded, it's so stunning
I don't want to let you go
I can hear the angels singing when you call my name
Your love is off the chain
(Off the chain, chain, off the chain)
And you make me feel amazing
And I can't explain
Your love is off the chain
(Off the chain, chain, off the chain)
(Is off the chain, chain, off the chain)
Your love (is off the chain),
Your love (is off the chain), your love
(Is off the chain, chain, off the chain)
You got me, baby, crushing
But it feels like so much more
Just when, when I least expect it
You make it feel so epic
Like nothing I felt before
I can hear the angels singing when you call my name
Your love is off the chain
(Off the chain, chain, off the chain)
And you make me feel amazing
And I can't explain
Your love is off the chain
(Off the chain, chain, off the chain)
Your love (is off the chain), your love, your love
(Is off the chain, chain, off the chain)
Your love (is off the chain),
Your love (is off the chain), your love
(Is off the chain, chain, off the chain)
Odds of me tripping are
Like next to nothing
Guarding my heart like a diamond ring
But love, your love, changes everything
Everything is changed,
Everything is changed,
Everything is changed
Your love is off the chain
Oh, everything is changed,
Everything is changed
Now everything is changed
Your love...
I can hear the angels singing when you call my name
Your love is off the chain
(Off the chain, chain, off the chain)
And you make me feel amazing
And I can't explain
Your love is off the chain
(Off the chain, chain, off the chain)
(Is off the chain, chain, off the chain)
Your love (is off the chain),
Your love (is off the chain), your love
(Is off the chain, chain, off the chain)
Your love, love (is off the chain)
Your love, your love,
Your love, love (is off the chain)
Your love, your love,
Your love, love (is off the chain, off the chain, off the chain)
"Wow, Kim, you're good." Milton complimented
"I'm not that good. So what are we doing for our next gig?"
"We'll be performing at Bobby Wasabi Surf Shack next Saturday. You and I will be doing a duet." Jack said, smiling when Kim narrowed her eyes at her.
"Alright, so what's the song?"
"Here you go." Milton handed her a lyric sheet and a CD, "those are the lyrics and the CD has the music and the second song is a recording of how the song goes."
"Ok, so can-" Kim was cut off when her cell rang. Turning away she answered, "Hello?"
"Kim? It's me Nicole. Listen can you get here now please. I need to tell you something."
"Uh, it's not really a good time-"
Kim was cut off again as Nicole started to yell through the phone, "I don't care! Get over here now!" then she hung up
"um, I assume you heard that?"
"yeah, go ahead. I'll call you tonight ok?"
"Kay." Kim left wondering what the hell Nicole could want.
When she got to the hotel she saw the others in the living room and sat with them. Nicole looked at them for a while before speaking
"when you were under the sea, do remember being told not to go out on a certain day?" That was a weird question but the girls nodded all the same, "Well it's time you knew why. Those nights were the nights a full moon. When a mermaid sees a full moon they become 'moon struck'. There is no telling what can happen to a mermaid and being near the moon pool is just as bad. When the moon passes over the opening anyone in it could turn into a mermaid. It could also turn you back into a human permently. You have to stay inside during the full moon."
"ok, when is it?"
"this Saturday."
"oh another question. The Surf Warriors do a gig this Saturday, what time is that?"
"too late. I'm sorry but you can't go."
"I don't believe this. You decide to tell me after I ace the auditions that I can't go? That is so messed up!"
"princess, you obviously don't understand the consequences that will come if you leave."
"I can take care of myself and don't call me princess!" with that Kim went to her room. She couldn't believe Nicole choose now of all times to tell her this. What was her problem?
The next day, Kim was walking on the beach trying to think. The first Pure Mermaids happened to forget to mention the thing about full moons and her mother never told her. She was walking when she heard her name. she turned and saw Jack running towards her
"Hey, so nothing was wrong at the hotel right?"
"no, but Nicole doesn't want me to perform at the gig. Something about some tradition."
"oh, well do you think you can sneak out of it?"
A plan started to formulate in her head, "The gig, is it indoors or out?"
"indoors. It gets cold at night."
"so I won't see the outside?"
"uh, no. why?"
"no reason. I'll be there early. Meet me later to practise?"
"uh, yeah sure."
As Kim walked away she went over her plan and smiled, 'I'm not about to ditch the Surf Warriors now. Let's see Nicole catch me now.'
Under the sea, Frank's castle
Jenna sat on the steps to Frank's throne with her legs crossed. She was trying to think how to stop the girls singing. "I know there should be something I know but what it is?" she looked up and saw a sliver of moon light come through a crake in the ceiling. "Wait that's it! I know how to stop the mermaids."
Bobby Wasabi Surf Shack
Kim smoothed her black skirt. She also had on a polka-dot shirt under a black waist coat, boots and arm warmers. Her hair was wavy with a black bow holding some hair back. She watched as Jack tuned his guitar. He was wearing a black shirt under a red flannel shirt, jeans and red and black Vanns. The moon was almost up and Kim was prepared. She wasn't near the windows and so wasn't the stage. Of course she knew it was a matter of time that the girls found out where she was. She could stay in the bath forever.
"Hey you ready?" Jack asked
"yeah. I hope I don't mess up."
"you'll be fine. Don't worry."
Outside, Jenna rose from the sea and seemed to standing on the water. She smiled as she looked at the Bobby Wasabi Surf Shack. Behind her Alice and Charlotte rose up behind her.
"Jenna what are we doing here?" Alice asked
"Do you know what happens to a mermaid during the full moon?"
Both followers thought before Charlotte said, "They're weak during a full moon. If they look into a full moon they become 'moon-struck'. No mermaid would be stupid enough to come outside."
"then can you explain why I sense all 4 pure mermaids in that restaurant?" Jenna asked, all three girls sharing a wicked smile.
Grace, Julie and Kelsey walked to the Surf Shack with hoodie on, the hoods up.
"I'm going to kill Kim. I can't believe she snuck out!" Grace said as they neared the Shack.
"We just have to make sure we don't look into the full moon." Julie said before They all reached the door. Grace and Julie got in ok but Kelsey heard a shaking of a bush and when she turned around, she happened to see the moon in the reflection of a fountain by the door.
"Kelsey, come on!"
"Kim!" Kim jumped and turned around and stared straight at Grace and Julie.
"Guys, what are you doing here?"
"We should be asking you that? Have you lost your mind?"
"Oh come on, nothing is going to happen. I'll be fine."
"Oh really?"
"Hey!" the girls turned to see Kelsey glaring at Rudy. "I asked for a sugar free smoothie!" she threw the smoothie filled cup on Rudy.
"Kelsey!" the girls pushed her away and stared at her, "Kelsey what's the matter with you?"
"Nothing, why would anything be wrong?"
"Um because you just threw your smoothie on Rudy. This isn't like you."
"Whatever. I'm hungry. I need sardines."
Sardines? What was wrong with this girl? She walked off and demanded a can of sardines from another worker behind the counter, as Rudy was getting smoothie off of him. The pile of can grew bigger and bigger. The girls could only stare in shock.
"Girls?" Julie asked
"Yes?"
"I think that Kelsey is 'moon-struck'"
Kelsey caught some boys' attention when she burped really loud. They complimented her and started to flirt with her. Eddie watched his mood getting lower and lower, Jack was surprised he didn't start crying.
"Hey, Eddie, you ok?" Jack asked concerned
"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just, I really like Kelsey and now she acting totally different."
"Hey, you know how girls get during their time."
"You know, you're right. I can't believe I didn't think about that. Thanks Jack. Hey we better get ready."
Kelsey wouldn't listen to the girls and was starting to get annoyed. She pointed to a candle that was on a table and the flame grew rapidly. People screamed when they saw and some people ran outside. Rudy blasted in with the extinguisher and stared at the candle in wonder.
"What the hell?"
The girls all glared the fire Pure Mermaid, "Kelsey, are you crazy? Are you trying to hurt someone?" Kelsey narrowed her eyes and then ran to the balcony. No one but the girls saw her jump into the water. They all let out a little shriek.
"We have to go after her!" Grace said
"We can't. she was moon struck. If we go out there we'll act the same way." Julie said grabbing Grace's arm
"Not if we can't see the moon." Kim went as close as she could to the door and used her power of clouds to move the few clouds in the sky over the moon. When she saw there was no moon light, she dared a glance and saw she was safe. The clouds were in front of the moon. Just as she and the girls were about to run out to go after Kelsey, Jack grabbed her arm.
"Kim, we're on in 5 minutes."
"Um, Jack. Uh listen I just found out there is a huge problem at the hotel. I have to go with the girls to deal with it and I'll be right back. Can you stall them please?"
Kim looked so desperate that Jack reluctantly nodded, "I think we might be able to spare 20 minutes but that's it ok?"
"thank you." She kissed Jack's cheek and ran out with the other girls. Jack stood there dazed his hand on his check when he got a goofy smile on his face.
The girls swam in the water looking for a familiar purple tail. They found Kelsey looking at her nails in interest. Julie had the seaweed wrap her friend in a cocoon and the dragged her back to the surface. Kim evaporated the water and stood up with the others and looked down at Kelsey. She let out another shriek as she saw what she saw. Kelsey still had her tail.
"What do we do? It should have left by now. Why does she still have her tail?"
"I think it's an effect of being moon struck." Julie said
"I can't take back a mermaid to the Surf Shack. What are we going to do?"
"I'll go back and get towels." Grace ran back to the Shack and slammed her hands on the counter, "I need towels now please." The guy gave her two large towels and when she was about to leave she bumped into Eddie.
"What's with the towels?"
"oh, uh, Kelsey got wet o our way back. She just needed to dry up and didn't want to come here wet."
"Oh I'll go with you."
"NO!" Eddie stopped and stared at her, "uh, she didn't want you to see her like that, all wet and raccoon eyed, if you know what I mean?"
"I guess." He said suspiciously
They rubbed her down with the towels but the tail still wouldn't go away. Jenna and the others thought it would be a good time to reveal them.
"Hello? What have we here? The Pure mermaids." They all looked at Frank's followers. "We came to return the favour of defeating us." Charlotte said in her red eyed form. "Jenna, accompany my music will you?"
"Of course, if Alice is willing to provide dancers." Jenna said, her violin appearing in her hand.
"With pleasure." Dragons made of water appeared next to the Asian girl. Charlotte rose her hand and when it turned red, clam appeared and when they opened revealing speakers. Both girls music started playing at the same time. The girls grabbed their ears in pain. It was horrible, painful and just plain loud. Alice's dragons hit the girls throwing them into the water.
"We have to transform."
"heads up kim, our powers are weakened during the full moon."
"SO what do we do?"
"I can take them." Kelsey said, "I feel a lot more powerful, I just need you to back me up."
"Well it's worth a try."
Pure Mermaid, activation, transformation!
A ball of fire covered Kelsey and her legs replaced her tail. The fire died out and showed her outfit. She had a purple strapless dress with a sweetheart neckline white at the end, white high heels with purple frills. Her necklace was around her waist and her arms covered by pale purple gloves, her mic in her hand name spelled in purple gems. Her hair was in a side ponytail, the ends purple as her eyes.
Water cover Kim completely, changing her tail into legs, her clothes appearing on her when they water burst off of her. White boots lined with green and she was now wearing a strapless white dress that reached above her knees with frills and a green lace bow in the front. Across her waist like a dangling belt was her necklace, but long enough to wrap around her waist. On her hands were light green gloves and in her left hand was a microphone with green gems spelling out her name on it. Her hair was now wavy with the green in her hair matching her outfit.
Grace was frozen in a block of ice and her tail changed into legs. The ice shattered and her clothes were revealed. She had knee length white boots lined in blue, a strapless light blue dress lined in white, with white frills, her necklace turned into a dangle belt. She had white lace bracelets on both hands and her mic in her left with her name spelled out in blue gems. Her eyes were now blue and her hair flowing down her back, the ends of it light blue
A blast of leaves covered Julie and when it burst away, her tail was gone leaving her legs and outfit on. She was wearing an off the shoulder orange dress with a layers, the colour getting lighter as it went down and her necklace around her waist. He legs were covered with white boots with orange lining it and her hands covered by a pale orange gloves, her mic with her name in orange gems. Her hair was in a messy bun, you could see the orange in her hair and her eyes were orange behind her glasses.

Kelsey's idea was right. The full moon made her powers a lot stronger. It actually broke all the powers in the followers. They glared at the girls before dissapearing.
Then Kelsey shook her head, "W-what happened?"
"I think the effects of the full moon wore off. Let's head back before it decides to hit back."
When Kim and the others came in, Jerry and a couple other people were doing a flash mob dance. Jack was cheering on his friend on the side lines but when he saw Kim he whisled to get everyone's attention.
"Sorry for cutting this off everyone, but our singer is now back and I'm sure you guys want to hear the song we have don't you?" Everyone answered by cheering. Kim went to the mic, not before whispering a quick thank you to Jack. He answered with a smile.
"Hi everyone, I'm Kim and we are Surf Warriors!"

Everyone was heading home and the girls were about to leave when Jack stopped Kim.
"Hey just so you know, I'm glad you came through. You know, not running off or anything."
"It's ok. Hopefully Nicole won't kill me to much. I just think we might have to keep full moon nights off limits."
"I'll try. Here," He gave her a keychian that was a blue surf board with the intals 'SW' on it and on the back said 'singer', "We all have one. This is yours."
Kim gave a small smile, "Thanks Jack. And thank you for covering for me." She gave him a small kiss on the cheek before walking off with the girls.
Anyone else think that was a weak way to end? I just can't seem to get the endings right. But oh well, the next story may be Battle of the Kingdom of Heaven or Slayer Warriors. Not sure, please review!
