-Last time On 'Mystical Ocean: The Changing Tides ' -
'Don't tell me.' I surfaced in the moonpool just as all the six eggs hatched and out come... some sort of bipedal lizards with webbing between their toes. They remind me of raptors, but that's impossible. Unless they are... "Marine raptors." All six turned to look at me and for a moment I was they would eat me, but instead of biting me they started to purr.
"You have got to be kidding. I'm not your mother!" I exclaimed as all six little marine raptors cuddled close to me.
[GUYS!]
Why me?
*raptors purring*
-And Now On 'Mystical Ocean: The Changing Tides'-
-Moonpool-
No p.o.v
Lewis, Cleo, Emma and Rikki gathered in the moonpool cavern after Samantha had called for help. They had had no idea what was going on, only that they all had to use the ground entrance. This alone had made them worried on what kind of creatures had hatched from the six eggs.
Now back to the present...
"Ow! It bit me!" Lewis exclaimed and held his now bitten index finger.
"That's because you kept at staring her. Remembers Marine Raptors are predatory Lewis so it was only natural for her to attack you." Samantha explained. After the first shock was gone she accepted the situation of being the mother figure to the six marine raptors. Still there is one problem that needs to be solved.
"What are you going to do Sam? You can't take them with you." Emma said, ruining the calm atmosphere.
And as if sensing their 'mother's' changed mood all the small reptiles hissed at Emma and snuggled closer to Samantha. Their small chirping made her laugh. "Not even few hours old and you are already looking out for me. You girls are really something."
"How do you know they are all girls? Did you check them?" Rikki made a joke without even meaning to.
Rolling her eyes Sam replied to Rikki. "I know it by the coloring they have. Females are lighter in color than males. Besides males are more vicious. Lewis would have lost his finger earlier."
"What!?" Lewis yelped and literally crawled away from Samantha and her new 'babies'. "How do you know that? I couldn't find anything about the eggs and now you know what they are and whatnot." He accused.
"Did you forget that I have the whole Armolel library at my disposal? There is nothing about the eggs, but I read once a whole BOOK about Marine Raptors. It was one of my favourite books when I was little." Sam explained before looking at Emma. "And of course I know I can't take them with me. That's why I'm taking them to Luna. She can look after them when I'm away."
"That's brilliant Sam!" Cleo exclaimed and smiled at her twin. "I'll you at home, okay?"
"Of course. See you later." Samantha dived with the Marine Raptors following closely behind her.

Samantha's p.o.v
'If dad catches me I'm so screwed.' I waited for Cleo to open the front door before dashing towards my room. The baby m-raptors refused to stay in the grotto so I had no other choice, but to bring them home with me.
[Can you bring the old kiddie pool in my room?] I asked Cleo after getting in my room. Luckily dad didn't see me.
[Sure, but should I tell Kim and Angela?] Cleo's response made me bite my lip.
[Tell them the truth. I need help to keep this from dad.] Looking down at my little proteges I couldn't help, but smile. All of them were asleep, curled against my chest. They are so cute for now, but when they grow up I have to find a way for them to stay near Mako Island. There is no way I can hide 6ft long lizards in my room.
*knock knock* "Sam? I have the kiddie pool." Cleo opened the door and came in with Kim and Angela.
"Shh! They are all asleep." I whispered so neither Kim or Angela would wake up my little girls.
"So cute~" Angela whispered to me while Kim helped Cleo fill the kiddie pool.
"What are they? Cleo didn't tell us." Kim asked as I placed the girls in the water carefully.
"Marine Raptors. I'll let you two do some research of your own." I winked teasingly. "I still have think of how to name them." Ushering everyone out of my room I started to think of the names for the m-raptors.

(The next morning)
Nobody's P.O.V
-Sertori house-
"Dad what are you doing? And what's with the shirt?" Cleo asked when she saw Don standing in front of a mirror holding up two shirts in his hands.
"Oh Cleo. Which one is better. Blue or the checkered?"
"Um, blue? But dad you work in a fishing boat. Why are you wearing your best shirt?" Cleo clarified what she meant. [Sam? Little help.]
"Dad are you dating someone?" Samantha asked as soon as she entered the room. "Or is it something else?"
"Annette Watsford is coming to inspect the quality of the fishes my boats catch. This a huge opportunity for the business." Don said and kept on preparing himself for the meeting.
"Is there something we can do to help dad?" Samantha inquired.
"Could you be in charge of the dinner tonight? Since you are the best cook in the family." Don looked at Samantha pleadingly. "Please Samantha. Even Annette's daughter is coming."
"You mean Charlotte? Dad you do know she is our cousin?" Sam was now tense. She didn't like the idea of having Charlotte in the same house.
"Yes, I know that Sam, but this is important." Don clearly didn't notice the change in Sam's behavior.
"Fine, I'll cook, but I have a school project that needs my attention. So I won't be joining you." Samantha left the room with Cleo. It was going to be a long night.

Samantha's P.O.V
'Good thing dad is a fisherman. Now I have enough fish to cook the dinner and feed my little girls. They are really intelligent. After I told them to be quiet they as not to get dad's attention.'
I turned to look at the calendar and almost screamed in surprise. It's going to be Crescent Moon! Not good, not good at all!
[CLEO! Have seen the calendar?!] I must have scared my twin, but she has to know about tonight.
[Sam! You scared me! Why are you yelling?] Cleo replied little shakily.
[It's Crescent Moon tonight. And the Watsfords are coming here tonight.] I made my way to my room with the left over fish.
Miri was the first to notice me. She is oldest of the girls, followed by Lila, Kairi, Nadya, Shea and Aqua. Placing the fish down I sat down and began to plan when I should leave the house. Preferably before the Crescent Moon rises.
"Okay girls. As soon as you are done eating we are going for a swim. It's time for a Crescent Moon and weird things happen to me during that time. So if I start acting differently don't worry. I'll be fine if I get in the moonpool where you hatched or when the moon sets." I like talking to my m-raptors, the more I talk to them the more I know they understand me.

Lewis's p.o.v
"Why do I have feeling that I've forgotten something important? Ceo would have called me if I forgot our date...Oh well, maybe it was nothing." I kept on tinkering with my laptop, trying to get it working again.
"I need that program to see the...phases of the moon. Oh no! It's Crescent Moon! Samantha!" Gathering up my things I began ran towards the Sertori house as fasts as I can. "Please be still there." I pleaded desperately.

Zane's p.o.v
"Rikki?"
"Yeah?" She looked up at me, from where she leaned against my chest.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the Crescent Moon affect Sam? Tonight is that time again."
"You are right! Hopefully nothing weird happens this time." She leaned up and kissed me. "If you want we can call her. I would do it, but she is too far away for it to work. Unless she is in mermaid form."
"I'll let it slide this time, but only because I'm comfy having you right here in my arms." I buried my face against Rikki's hair, pushing all thoughts of the Crescent Moon out my mind.

Ash's p.o.v
'Is that Sam? What is she doing with the marine raptors?' I looked up just in time for the Crescent Moon to shine down and straight on Samantha.
"Oh no... Samantha!" Normally I would go closer, but this time she has six bodyguards with her. The marine raptors have grown at an astonishing rate since they hatched. Soon she can't hide them in her room anymore.
"Samantha snap out of it!" It's official, I'm desperate. If she goes in the water...and I just jinxed it.
Samantha dived in the water followed by the marine raptors. It all happened so fast that I had no time to even blink. Cursing under my breath I made my towards Emma's place. Out of all the days I had to forget my phone at home...

Samantha's p.o.v
"Sam! Wake up!" I hear someone shouting at me, but I'm too tired think clearly. What happened last night?
"Samantha!" The voice sure is persistent. Groaning I turn on my side as my pillow moves...wait what? Pillows don't move...
My eyes snapped open in shock as my pillow moves again, followed by a purring sounds. "Miri?" I whispered in disbelieve. All the marine raptors are now fully grown. "Cleo? What happened last night?" I stood up little shakily, but Miri was there to support me.
"Well not long after you left Lewis showed up, but I told him that you had just left. Dad of course invited Lewis to stay for the dinner since you weren't able to join us. Everything was going fine until Charlotte tried to obtrude herself on Lewis, but her mother snapped at her. Annette behaved, but she was almost as bad as Charlotte. In the end Lewis offered to be Charlotte's friend if she will stop following him around. She accepted." Cleo told me that dad managed to impress Annette, which is good.
"Ash forgot his phone at home, so he had to run all the way to my place to tell me that he had seen you dive in the water with your 'bodyguards'. We were able to come only now without raising suspicion." Emma finished her explanation.
"Me and Zane could have come, but we were um...busy." She blushed, but I didn't hold it against her.
"Well aside for the girls being now fully grown I don't feel any different. It's possible that I didn't get new powers." I shrugged as Aqua accidentally splashed some water on me. For once I didn't want to sprout tail when getting wet. It hurts to fall down!
After 10 seconds nothing happened. "How?" My knees failed me as I dropped down in shock.
"Your ring looks different Sam." Rikki pointed out to me.
"I wonder..." Looking at my ring I noticed that the normally blue stone had some orange swirls in it. Deciding to test my theory I concentrated on having my tail. Since I wasn't wet I gasped as it worked!
"You can control your transformations now?" Emma voiced out what I had just realised myself. "You are so lucky."
"You'll find your own rings in time. I know you will." I have no idea where the knowledge came from, but I know it is true. "See you at home Cleo." I dived in the moonpool with six marine raptors following closely behind me.
"She does know that her room cant fit 6 of full grown marin raptors...right?" Rikki asked outloud.

Charlotte's p.o.v for that night
When mom told me that she would bring me with her to some business dinner I couldn't have cared less, but when she said that it was at Sertori's... I wanted to scream in delight! This a perfect chance for me to get closer to Samantha! ...
Where's Samantha? I thought she would be here, but instead I got Cleo and two other brats. The food is delicious though...Did Samantha really make this? That is what that girl -Angela was it?- said. Samantha is so perfect! I will make mom say positive things about this food.
Lewis is here! Perfect. "Hi Lewis." I practically was in front of his face when I spoke to him. I was ready to kiss him, but of course mom dragged me away. "Mom, stop it!" I snapped.
"I'm so sorry for my daughter's behavior Don." Mom then began to talk about business, but I didn't listen.
"Charlotte, if I promise to be your friend, will you please stop following me around?" Lewis asked me. Of course I accepted, this a perfect opportunity for me to get to know Lewis better. Hah! Take that Cleo! ...
"Where did Samantha go? She was supposed to be there tonight..." With those brooding thoughts I went to sleep.
