Chapter 4
Brick P.O.V.
Butch somehow got this crazy idea to go to Clarisse island. Boomer only came because I gave him chocolate. I have heard bad things about Clarisse island, Including that it's haunted. I'm just a tad bit scared Boomer on the other hand was about to pee his pants. Maybe it was because Butch was driving.
When we got to the island Butch stepped onto shore first, then, me and Boomer was yet to even let go of the railing. " Common Boomer we don't have all day." I yelled to Boomer. " But it's haunted." He replied sounding cowardly. " If you come I'll give you chocolate". Then he slowly stepped onto the shore. We searched on shore but didn't find anything. " I think we need to look in the forest" said Butch. We slowly nodded our heads and then started approaching the forest. "Hoohoo hoo" a voice yelled.
Blossom P.O.V.
As we were swimming home I caught a glimpse of other people. I stopped. " Guys I think it's the boys from school." I said pointing ashore. " I think your right ." Bubbles said. We all started swimming toward the shoreline. WE made sounds to scare them off. " Hoohoo hoo" I yelled. " Ackee ackee." Buttercup said. " Get off this island or it will be the last thing you do" Bubbles said. They raced back to their boat screaming like little girls. So we continued home.
Bubbles P.O.V
Back at home Granny made us all a fancy dinner. Blossom and Buttercup spent the night. Man those two can eat. After dinner we all took a nice warm bath. " Hey guys since we got tails I wonder if anything else will happen to us" Blossom said as she put her hand on top of the water Buttercup got splashed with water. " Hey." She screamed at Blossom. " I didn't do that, All I did was put my hand on top of the water and it just squirted water or splashed it." Blossom replied. " What do you have magical powers or something." Buttercup said sarcastically. Blossom slowly started moving her and the water was doing whatever she wanted. Unlike Blossom she reacted calmly and cool. Dropping the water " Do you know how cool this is". She exclaimed excitedly. " Ooh I want to try" I said. I pointed my hand at the water and nothing happened. Although the water did suddenly feel strange like gelatin. I looked down and the water turned into gelatin. " Nice going Bubbles" Buttercup said rudely. " Buttercup now it's your turn" Blossom said. Buttercup did exactly what I did and nothing happened. Does this mean she doesn't have a power. Then she tried what Blossom did and that didn't work either.
"What you guys all have powers and I don't, not fair." She said angrily. " Don't worry Maybe you just haven't gotten your power yet." Blossom said with a smile acting like there was still hope. Then at that moment granny came in. Luckily the gelatin absorbed all the water and we all had legs at that moment. "Hello girls, It's time for bed now dry off." She said shutting the door. "That was too close for comfort." I said getting out and grabbing a towel even though I didn't need one.
After we got in our pajamas I knew I had to tell them about Boomer. " Um, guys I have to tell you something." I murmured but sadly they heard me. " What is it Bubbles." Asked Blossom. " Well the other day at school I got asked out to a date, by … Boomer Jojo." I completed. Their mouths dropped. " Bubbles you have to break up with him we can't rick him finding out were mermaids let alone anyone and if he finds out he'll tell his brothers and they might exploit us." Blossom said to me. " Yeah Bubbles we all can't risk it." Buttercup finished. " I know but I really like this him and I trust him." I said back to them. " Okay but you have to test him to see if we all can trust him okay." Buttercup implied. I had the biggest smile on my face. I felt so relieved.
Boomer P.O.V
Today at school Bubbles had to talk to me about something. She took me to where I first asked her out and we sat on the bench next to the roses. Behind my back I secretly plucked one for her. " Uh Boomer we have to talk about something." Bubbles said. " About what, are we breaking up?" I said worried. " No, no, no why would I do that? Especially with you." She replied back. " Oh thank goodness." I said relieved. " Can I trust you?"
"Yeah of course you can Bubbles."
" I mean really, really trust you." She said firmly
" Yes you can, Whatever you want to share with me go ahead."
" Because that's what relationships are all about, trust." She said back to me. Then she gave me a kiss on the cheek. I almost forgot to give her the rose. " Awww thank you Boomer." After that we hugged and went back to class.
Blossom P.O.V.
Today ,Brick did the same as he did last time we saw each other at school he passed a note to me. " Hey Blossom You feeling better today because I sure hope so." Why did he all the sudden start to care again? So I wrote back " Yes I am now I am trying to listen so I can pass the 7nth grade." Then I passed it back to him. I mean why would he care about me other than picking on me. I got the note back " You know I have an A+ in every class maybe I could tutor you." Yeah I'll believe that when pigs fly. But I wrote back "You'd do that for me? What's the catch. What do I have to clean your shoes or something.". Then I passed it back. Again the teacher caught him. " Is that a note I see Mr. Jojo?" Mrs. Catntere said. " Uh no ma'am I'm just taking notes" he rapidly smoothly cover that issue. " One more time Mr. Jojo and your going to detention." She said. Man she can be scary sometimes. Then I finally got the note back. "No catch. So your house after school." I looked back at him and nodded in agreement. During passing period I texted Bubbles and Buttercup that I had a tutor today so I couldn't meet them at the quiet beach today. They'll understand right.
Buttercup P.O.V.
After school I got a text from blossom saying that she couldn't make it to the beach today. We hung out today while spying on Bubbles and Boomer in the garden. Blossom just about fell into tears at the sweet couple.
Bubbles had a date with Boomer so I went ahead and swam to Clarisse island alone. I went through the secret underwater entrance this time. I looked around everything seemed interesting and Mysterious. Everything is so wonderful and bright. The water looks so pure and fresh. It almost glows. On my way back I used the raft we had built Once I got to the beach, I started making some add-ons to our little boat I made a room towards the back of the boat, it's got a bunk trundle bed with mattresses and no sheets. The desk now has a sail. I also painted on S.S Mermaids above the door to the room. Fine the name mermaids isn't all that bad. If only Blossom and Bubbles could see this.
Bubbles P.O.V.
Boomer took me out to McDonalds for dinner. His parents made him pay for it himself which is hard because they don't have much money. We shared a milkshake and a number 12 meal. I wonder where he is doing for out 1 week adversary. He Is so sweet. I got him a gift. It's a picture of us together on our first date. Also chocolates and a red rose. " Oh Boomer thank you for the wonderful date. And now I have something to give you." I said pulling out a bag. He opened it. " Oh Bubbles thank you, Thank you oh so much I love it." He said pulling out everything. He popped open the chocolates and put one in my mouth. It was caramel. I took one and did the same. We both laughed. After finishing our meal he took me home.
Butch P.O.V.
Brick went to tutor some idiot girl he likes, and who knows where Boomer went. I have a feeling he is doing something without telling us. So I went to the McDonalds to pick up some food for everyone. I was feeling generous today. But while I was walking to the checking counter I saw Boomer with a girl. A really pretty girl I might add. So since he was already having dinner I just picked up some for mom, me, and brick.
I figure I'd break the news to Brick and mom first before confronting Boomer.
Blossom P.O.V.
Tonight Brick followed me home to study with me as my tutor but ever since we became mermaids he has been acting strange maybe he knows something. Maybe he secretly has been spying on us. What am I saying. Hey I never noticed it before but brick actually looks sort of cute when he is not picking on you. Maybe he only picks on me because he likes me. No, no, no what am I saying. No one would want to go out with a hyper active girl like me. Plus I'd make a horrible house wife. I mean I can't even cook. Wait a minute, did I just insult myself.
When I got home Kacy was waiting by the door for me. But when she saw Brick her eyes grew wide. " Blossom has a boyfriend. Blossom has a boyfriend." She sang and sang. " A boyfriend. Blossom your too young." Said my mom. " My little girls already has a boyfriend. They grow up so fast." My dad said. " Quiet he is just my tutor not my boyfriend." I yelled. Everyone sighed with relief. We went into my room. " I'm sorry about my parents." I apologized . " Oh it's all right my parents are crazier than that and I mean way ,way crazier." Brick said back to me. So we started working away.
Brick P.O.V.
Tonight I followed Blossom home to help her study and get caught up to the rest of the class. I only offered because well she is pretty and nice also she's been acting weird lately. When walked in the door home Butch and mom were waiting for me. " Brick we need to discuss Boomer." Butch said. " Yes We are very concerned about him mojo. And we need to discuss what he has been doing for the last couple days mojo." Said mom. So I sat down at the dinner table. But when I sat down there was no food for Boomer. " You will realize that there is no food for Boomer because he has already eaten." Butch exclaimed. " Now family I regret to inform you that Boomer our dearest brother and son, has been dating in the last week." Just then Boomer walked in on us. " What's going on here" Boomer said confused. " Boomer we know you've been dating so fess up." I said. He Said back " You knew". We all nodded our heads yes.
Bubbles P.O.V.
Today I slept in and missed the bus. I texted Blossom and Buttercup and asked if they knew a short cut to school from my house. Blossom wrote me back "Just take the main rode until Lincoln street then take a left and keep going straight. I wonder how she knew that. Wait I remember her text from yesterday. It was true, she got a tutor that works.
Today at school I went home early because I was sick. The doctor said it was just a minor cold maybe due to being wet outside during this weather. But he said it should be gone by tomorrow.
Blossom P.O.V.
I heard Bubbles got sick and went home early. Yeah I haven't been so good either But It should be gone by tomorrow.
Brick didn't come today he must have gotten sick too.
Buttercup P.O.V.
Today after I had found out Bubbles would be back today. I saw Boomer bring her a rose or whatever. The worst part of today as with everyday is English where Butch is in my class. He always spaces out but never fails. How is that possible. But today he was asleep.
After school Blossom, Bubbles and I all met up at the quiet beach feeling much better. " Today Butch fell asleep in English. That guy makes me so mad. I mean he get to do whatever he wants is class and never gets caught." I said clenching my fist. Then the water started to boil. " Eek!" Screeched Bubbles and Blossom. But I stepped closer. I opened my hand and the boiling stopped. Then I clenched my fist and the water started boiling again. " Wanna take a swim?" I asked Bubbles and Blossom. "Are you Crazy? No!" Blossom yelled and Bubbles shook her head in agreement. Then I opened my hand. " How about now" I asked again. They shook they're heads. So we dove in for an after school swim to Clarisse island. This time we were determined to find clues to what happened other than the mermaid shaped crystals now around our necks.
