Leah was laying in her bed "How can I undo this?"

Brake shrugged "I don't know. But you'll find a way. You always do."

Leah buried her face in her pillow "And what if I don't?" she mumbled.

"You will."

She heard him leave the room "But what if I can't?" if she didn't find a way to undo it, it's possible that ice she'd created on top of the water would spread until it covered the world "I have to find a way!" she sighed "I have to." She closed her eyes and after a few minutes, she fell asleep.

"Merliah!"

Leah looked around. It was that voice again "Who's there?"

The same face as before appeared. Her hair was long and white, but it seemed to go on forever, even though it stopped around her waist, but it continually flowed.

"Who are you?" Leah demanded.

"I'm a friend." The woman answered, her green eyes flashing.

Leah eyed her doubtfully.

"My name's Cecilia."

Cecilia had a long light blue tail that faded to white at the fin. The bodice of her shirt was light blue and the sleeves were white and flowing, almost like her hair.

"How do you know about my Meriliah problem?" Leah asked.

"Everyone knows." Cecilia answered "And I can tell you why."

"Why?"

"You're only half mermaid." The white haired mermaid answered "You can't control the power that comes with the meriliah, and it has gone out of control."

"But…"

"It's terrible, but true. Meriliah is a gift that a mermaid possesses. As you know, only the royal family can spin it, after preforming the changing of the tides ceremony… which can only be done by a mermaid."

"And since I'm only half mermaid…"

"The power is only half complete."

Leah buried her face in her hands "What can I do?"

"Give the meriliah to me." Cecilia answered.

Leah looked up at her, her eyebrows furrowed "Why can't I give it to my mom?"

"If you tried, it would freeze her solid… forever."

Leah sighed and shook her head "I need to think."

Cecilia nodded "Of course. We'll talk later." Then she disappeared.

Leah's eyes fluttered open "What can I do?" she sighed "What can I do?"

The next morning, Leah slowly walked out of her house and started down the beach.

"Leah!" Zach called running towards her "You have to see this!"

Leah cocked her head confused, but quickly followed him. He led her to where the patch of ice was. When she saw it, she gasped. It had reached land and had covered a lot of sand. Like a city block worth.

"It's spreading too fast!" Leah groaned, she reached out and touched it. To her surprise, it shrunk away from her "What on earth?"

Zach was eyeing her curiously "You… know what this is?"

"It's ice." She answered lamely.

"In Malibu? On a ninety degree day?"

Leah shook her head and placed one of her hands on top of the ice. The ice turned blue then flew into her hand.

Zach stepped back in shock "Uh…"

"Zach, go get Kylie please." Leah requested.

Zach nodded "Sure." Then he jogged off.

Leah beeped Kylie on her walkie talkie watch "Kylie. Kylie wake up!"

"What?" Came Kylie's answer.

"Zach's heading your way." Leah said "I need you to find something to keep him distracted, then meet me by the ice. Okay?"

Kylie nodded "On it." There was a knock on her door "Hold on."

Leah heard Zach tell her that Leah needed her on the beach.

"Alright." Kylie said "And coach needs you."

"Okay." Zach said a little uncertain, and then he left.

"I'm coming Leah." Kylie said as soon as Zach was gone "Is it bad?"

"You don't know how bad." Then she beeped Fallon and Hadley, asking them to meet her.

"Sure thing, Leah." Fallon nodded "We're coming."

It seemed like an eternity before her friends finally appeared. But when they did, they were speechless.

"You mom wasn't kidding when she said it spreads, was she?" Kylie said.

"But watch." Leah reached out and placed her hand on some of the ice. It turned sparkly blue, then flew into her hand "It turns to Meriliah."

"So, all this ice is literally frozen Meriliah?" Fallon asked.

Leah nodded "Maybe Cecilia's right."

"Who?" Her three friends echoed.

"This woman in my dreams." Leah answered "Her name's Cecilia."

"In your dreams?" Fallon asked.

Leah nodded.

"Ooh!" Hadley squealed "Maybe she's your mermaid spirit guide!"

"I doubt it." Leah shook her head "She keeps telling me to give the meriliah to her. But I just don't know."

"Leah, if you give her the meriliah, she could take over the ocean." Kylie said "How do you know she's not trying to trick you?"

"I don't." Leah sat down and subconsciously started twirling one of her hot pink streaks around her finger "I don't know what to do. According to her, the reason my meriliah's going nuts is because I'm only half mermaid, and when I did the changing of the tides ceremony, it was only half complete."

"Logical." Fallon mumbled.

"Then why can't you give it to your mom?" Hadley asked.

"According to Cecilia, it would freeze her… solid… forever."

Kylie growled in aggravation "What else does this Cecilia say?"

"A lot." Leah chuckled slightly "But here's what I don't get. If it'll freeze my mom, why won't it freeze her?"

"Because, I'm not related to you." A voice said behind them.

The four girls spun around and gasped when they saw Cecilia walking towards them.

"Wow." Fallon whispered "Can you say walking ice cube?"

"How…?" Leah asked jumping to her feet.

"I'm well acquainted to magic." Cecilia answered.

"Okay…" Leah shook her head "Why will it freeze my mom but not you?"

"It will freeze anyone and anything that is close to your heart." Cecilia said "You don't know me, so I'd be safe."

"But if the meriliah fell into the wrong hands it could mean disaster on Oceana." Leah said, crossing her arms.

"Oceana's my home." The white haired lady said "The only reason I suggested it is because I want to save it."

"What if I gave it to Kylie?"

Ceciliah laughed "Kylie isn't even one-eighth a mermaid. And besides, she's a close friend of yours."

''Well, that knocks out Kayla and Zylie." Kylie mumbled.

"Think about it." Cecilia said stepping into the water "What you want or what you have to do." Then she dove in.

Kylie placed her hand on Leah's right shoulder "It'll be okay, Leah."

The blond sighed and turned away from the beach "I need to think."

"Okay." Her three friends said, nodding in understanding.

When Leah walked away, the three turned to look out at the ocean.

"There's got to be a logical explanation for this." Kylie sighed.

"What about a logical explanation for that?" Hadley gasped, pointing towards the patch of ice.

The others looked, their eyes growing wide. The bottom of the ice was turning red. Then a few moments later, it all melted and disappeared.

"Um… should we go get Leah?" Fallon asked.
