Zane, Emma, and Rikki then headed out the gate and Lewis and I headed back to the office, me putting my marine park uniform back on.
I was back in the control room now. Okay, turn the lights dial off, so they would go off naturally in about ten minutes. Before I turned on the cams, I needed to get the rain going again, which would be Emma's signal to start with the wind, both just lightly, though, since it doesn't storm that hard that long, but, also, Lewis needed to get on the computers and make this look like a power shortage before I turned on the cameras, since he couldn't be seen walking out. Once he was done, he nodded, and so did I. I waited till I heard him open the gate till I raised my hand to start the rain. Just a little bit, now, my fingers were barely bent, and I used my other hand to flip on the override switch. It would take about two minutes for them to come back on, which gave me good time to get out of there, double check that nothing was out of place, and to quickly get back to the gate, since some time was to have passed since the "power outage". Emma had already started on the light wind when I got outside. I had just locked up the gate and started to walk off when I saw the little dot of light over the gate to signify the cameras were back on. That was fine, they would just see an ankle leaving, and they could assume it was me leaving or someone else. Everything had worked out perfectly. It had been a fun night; all that was left was to get back home, which we did, without a problem. I knew because, previously agreed, so that we would know, I received a text from Emma, Rikki, Zane, and Lewis, about whatever they wanted. Zane said MERMAIDS!, Emma had said geez, kind of fun though, Rikki had said I know, I'm a genius, and Lewis and said, good night guys. All in all, a pretty cool night. It was nice to be on those rides again.
Emma POV
All the way home, I was looking over my shoulder, worried about getting caught, which we didn't, but…When I got home, I slowly opened the door, only as much as was necessary, hoping, hoping, my parents weren't up early for some freak reason, they weren't, and then getting back in bed. I can't believe I did that! Oh man, it was so illegal! If we… If my parents ever find out, I'd be dead. I'd want to yell at Rikki, but it'd be my own fault. I'd agreed to go. Yet, I guess I am glad I went. When I didn't think about how wrong it was, it was a fun night. I had really missed those rides and it was great to be on them again. Well, best get to sleep or my parents will wonder why I look so tired in the morning, and why I slept so late. A fun night, though, especially with adrenaline I realized I had running in my veins when I found it hard to get to sleep.
Rikki POV
I was really proud of myself. I haven't done anything like that in a long time, and I'd even convinced good girl Emma to come along. Zane had met us too, making it kind of a double date, since Lewis was there too. We had so much fun! We all got soaked! I did get a little tired of drying us off all the time, but no matter, part of the night, part of the night. We never got caught, and never would, I was a genius. It was an awesome night! Who says mermaids have to stay off water rides? Not with me around, they don't!
Lewis POV
I can't believe the girls really did that. Whatever, they had fun. It was a fun night and we didn't get caught. It was good for Emma to loosen up too. I wasn't really sure Rikki would get her to come, but she did, and we all had a great time, especially Cleo and me. I knew they were fine because I had received all their texts. Cleo had said wow. A pretty cool night.
Zane POV
I wish I could say I was surprised the girls did that, and that we didn't get caught, but I can't. It's so like Rikki, and when I get involved, things always work out. Even if we'd run into trouble, the Bennett name had its uses. Rikki was amazing. I guess, as far as things go, a fairly normal night. A mermaid's night out.
