Three months later...

Kimiko POV

"Running for Team Hawaii is Karana Chiro, and we have the known internationally Queen of Surfing, real name Kimiko Terra Janessa, running for Team Japan!" the announcer – uh – announced. I turned and waved, especially to my schoolmates and teachers, including Mr Stowe, whom I managed to get front – row seats, then returned to chatting with my surfing friends and fellow competitors, Fallon Casey from Team Malibu, and Kylie Morgan from Team Australia. "Hey Kylie. Ready to rock?" I asked. "Mmhmm. Prepare to get trashed." Kylie grinned. I snorted. "As if."

Nearly ten minutes later, the other surfers had finished their shows, even Kylie and Fallon. None of the waves seemed right... wait. That one! "Kimiko Terra has one more minute. The last wave coming will be the last for another ten minutes. Will the Queen of the Waves lose, or face a beast of a wave?" Oh yeah. Finally! I heard a beeping from my watch, which was my communicator. "Hey Hota – chan, Kylie." I grinned at my group of friends and their boyfriends. "Well, whaddya think? Will she?" Hotaru joked. I looked at the oncoming wave. "She will." I replied. Hotaru stared. "You gotta be kidding me! That wave's gonna kill you!" she exclaimed. "Hota – chan, I'm the Queen of Surfing, Princess of Earth, the one who loves all elements. The bigger, the easier." I smiled before cutting of the connection. I heard a collective gasp from the crowd as I faced the wave. "I don't believe it! Kimiko Terra is actually facing the wave? Will she make it?" the announcer exclaimed. Oh yes she will.

Kevin POV

I stared at Kimiko in panic. What was she thinking? The rest of the school was too, even Hecate and her friends. Then we stared. Kimiko had just done a triple backflip in air on top of the wave!

One time, when Kimiko dove into the water, everyone gasped. Barely five seconds later, Kimiko shot out again and did a front flip before landing on her board. She smiled and waved as is nothing had happened.

After waiting for an eternity, the announcer announced the judges decisions. "This is the quarter – finals. Out of the eight surfers, only four will get in. In fourth place, Aria Solaria. In third place, Fallon Casey. In second place, Kylie Morgan, and in first place, Queen of Surfing, Kimiko Terra!" the whole school screamed with happiness.

Kimiko POV

Later on, reporters surrounded us semi – finalists. "Kimiko! Kimiko!" some reporter shouted. I turned, and smiled. "Yeah?" I asked. "What do you call your new move?" the reporter asked. I shrugged. "No idea. I just thought of it." another reporter interrupted. "So Kimiko, where do you invent your original moves?" "I keep that a secret." I winked. "Kylie, Fallon, wanna grab ice creams and disappear for a while?" I murmured to my two surf friends. "Sure." Kylie smiled. We edged ourselves to the edge of the crowd, then sprinted for the nearest ice – cream shop, bought three ice cream in cups, then ran to our secret hiding spot, which even Dong Yi didn't know about.

As I put some chocolate ice cream in my mouth, the three of us chatted about school, anything but surfing. The surf meets were the times where we could meet, and when we hid in this cave, nothing about surfing was allowed. It was a time for us to de – stress.

Kylie and Fallon are from Barbie in a Mermaid Tale 2. R&R's, everyone!
