I finished my first story ever! It turned out pretty good! Thank you all who read and review Sisters, Girlfriends, and Everything in Between! I can now focus on one story; it will be a lot easier. For me this will now become a LOT more fun! Enjoy and review!

Chloe's POV

Alek just kissed me…and I liked it. Well I knew I had some feelings for him, but that some has just disappeared. The kiss is amazing!

When we broke apart we stood there for another moment or two and stared into each other's eyes. I was kind of freaking out, but very surprised at what Alek had set up. He smiled and led me to my seat. He brought two plates out and set them down. Then came out with food and put some food on each of our plates. It smells delicious!

"Alek! Did you cook all of this?" I asked breaking the silence.

"Yes, yes I did," he said, he turned around to look at me from the other side of the kitchen, "You didn't think I could cook"

"Well…um…I didn't put too much thought into it…more of Amy's thing..." I said nervously. Are you kidding me! I thought about that! I looked down at the food and blushed. I knew he was smirking just as much as I knew I was blushing. The last thing, he brought over a vanilla cake.

"Over heard it was your favorite" Alek said smiling. He put one finger under my chin to make me look up at him. I smiled…

…...la de da de da…..

We had such a great dinner! Alek's cooking is the best ever, no offence to my mother. The cake was especially good. We talk and joked around and laughed. Mostly got to know each other better. It was around 7:20 p.m. now, and we are finished with the dinner. I helped clean up all the food after.

"Chloe, come with me" he said. We got up, and walked outside.

"Where are we going?" I wondered.

"To the Golden Gate Bridge, it should be lit up now that it's dark. I am here though, so you will be safe" Alek told me smiling. I kissed his cheek.

"Thank you" I whisper. We walk through the night towards the bridge talking and laughing. It was an amazing night, perfecto. There were so many stars; the moon was very bright because the full moon was in two days. The wind was gentle and the clouds were nowhere to be seen.

"Alek?" I said.

"Yes, my love?" he responded. It made me smile remembering when he said that and I didn't know he liked me at all.

"What will everyone else think? About us?" I asked.

Alek's POV

Now I was thinking, hard. I don't know…

"I am sure they will be totally fine with it. I know Jasmine, Amy, and Paul will be ok with it. Not so sure about Valentina but I promise, nothing will ever take me away from you" I reassured her.

"Death?" she asked.

"Nope, if I ever did die, I would still stay with you. Maybe follow in ghost form" I said. She smiled. We were sitting on the end of the concrete, looking at the Bridge from a short distance. Our feet were hanging towards the water. I moved closed to her so our bodies were touching. We both leaned in until our lips were touching. We shared a gentle, sweet kiss. We kissed for a long time until we heard a splash close by. It made Chloe jump, and pull her feet away from the water. I laughed a little and wrapped my arms around her. She laughed a little with me. Somehow it ended up with her head on my lap, looking out to the water. My feet were over the edge and one of Chloe arms. Her fingers getting slightly wet when a small wave came over them. I played with one of her curls and looking at her face as it looked like it was searching for something.

"Let's never forget this moment" She said looking up at me.

"I won't, no matter what" I told Chloe. We smiled at each other until we heard another big splash. Chloe sat up and stared out waiting for whatever made the splash to jump again.

Then it happened…I huge fish jumped out of the water.

"Alek did you see that?" Chloe asked keeping her eyes out on the water.

"Yes, it was a very big fish" I said.

"Hey!" Chloe and I jump up hearing a strange voice. "I am not totally fish!" we heard again. We looked where our feet were recently hanging….and there was a girl. Chloe was shaking, I was too.

"Alek," Chloe whispered in my ear, "do mermaids exist?" she asked.

"Valentina said they might, but she never saw one, nether have I." I whispered back. We didn't have to talk loud at all, we can hear each other. Using our powers, like we were using our powers to see in the night.

"You know, it is not nice to talk about people behind their backs, or in their faces for that matter. I can see your lips moving, and mermaids do exist! You are looking at one" the strange ocean girl said being cocky. She flashed her tail…tail….holy carp! (Yes, carp, as in fish. It's what my sis says instead of crap, because that would be bad to say in front of my parents). Chloe and I stand there, staring at the…mermaid. We have no idea what to do or say. The mermaid's tail was white, shiny in the moon light. She had a white, scaly bikini looking top same color as her tail. The mermaid had long, very long, blond hair with white streaks going through it. Her icy blue eyes intensely staring at us.

"Aqua! Aqua!" We heard from another voice. The mermaid looked up and behind her. Now that her arms were holding herself up to look, I could see her hair was longer enough to go down to about half her tail. Another mermaid popped out of the water, making us jump a little. Turning to the white-tailed mermaid, the other mermaid started talking. This new mermaid had a jet black tail, a black top, and black streaks through her hair that went down to where her tail started. The black-tailed mermaid had light brown hair and regular brown eyes. Her tail was almost blending in with the dark water.

"Aqua, stop scaring the Mai, no matter how cool they think they are you can't sneak up on them. It is rude, and they are obviously on a date, you can tell they are mates." The black-tailed mermaid told the first mermaid. Chloe and I stood there, looking as shocked as ever, staring at the mermaids.

"Staring is rude too" The white-tailed mermaid pointed out, snapping her fingers above her head. We snapped out of it and looked quickly at each other and back at the two water creatures.

"You are Mai right? Oh gosh…" The black-tailed mermaid asked with a worried look on her face.

"Yes" I stated plainly. I didn't say it very loud but they heard. They looked at each other insisting we were crazy with their expressions.

"Have you seen Pearl?" The white-tail mermaid asked her friend. There's another!

"Yea, she was right behind me…" the one trailed off, "…ah she is coming". The two nodded at each other and looked to the white-tailed ones right. A few seconds later a grayish-pink tailed mermaid came up and looked at the other two. This one had pink streaks in her hair that went down to the end of her shoulder blades. She looked like she could be the black-tailed mermaid's sister.

"Hey! You are British!" The last mermaid said excitingly and pointing at me giggling.

"We noticed, and he is taken anyway. Sorry Pearl" The first two mermaids said together. The last mermaid smiled at Chloe.

"Now that we are all here we can say proper hellos. Hi, I am Brooke, and this is Aqua, and my sister Pearl" The black-tailed mermaid, Brooke, introduced. The white-tailed mermaid, Aqua, put her hand up as if saying hello, and the pink-tailed mermaid, Pearl, waved happily.

"Hello" Chloe managed to squeak out. Brooke frowned…

"Names?" Pearl asked.

"Alek and Chloe" I introduced.

"It is very nice to meet you Alek and Chloe. Are you part of the San Francisco tribe thing over there on land?" Pearl asked. I had no idea how mermaids lived, Valentina never taught me anything.

"Yes, do you live in these…waters?" I asked.

"No…did not your leader person ever tell you anything? Mermaids do not usually live 'round here, to many boats" Aqua informed us.

"Oh. Um…why were you scared that we weren't Mai?" Chloe asked nervously.

"Well duh…" Aqua started, but Brooke cover Aqua's mouth with her own hand.

"Reasons" Pearl finished.

"Where are you from?" I asked.

"Australia" they all said at once. They laughed when they said it together, but it didn't seem as if they were laughing at what they said.

Chloe's POV

I am totally, completely freaking out. I thought mermaids were a myth! But no, I don't know all the races that live on the Earth. I have to say, the mermaids were quite pretty. They seemed pretty friendly, but then again there was Aqua… Now it has really got me wondering what would have happened if we weren't Mai.

I looked at Alek, he had calmed down, but I was still hold on to his arm. It doesn't seem as if I will need to be jealous, they apparently think we are mates. I am not saying we aren't I just don't know. It is our first date…

"Australia, nice. Wait…why are you all the way over here?" I asked becoming less nervous and loosening my grip on Alek.

"We wanted an adventure!" Brooke said excitedly. That seems obvious enough. All the mermaids started to get changing expressions on their faces and looking at each other. Alek and I looked at each other confused, than back at the three mer's.

"You are the Unitor" Aqua said pointing at me. I nodded, still wondering what just had happened.

"Yes she is" Alek said plainly.

"Awesome" Aqua said jumping back into the water. She has gone far enough into the dark water that Alek and I couldn't see her.

"She will be back" Brooke reassured.

"So are you two, sisters?" Alek wondered.

"Yes sir. Aqua is not though, she is just our, how you say it, 'bff's'" Pearl told us. I guess they don't completely speak English…they don't even use, don't or doesn't, they say do not, or does not.

"Cool" I spoke up.

"Are you scared of us?" Brooke asked when Aqua popped up.

"Yes she is" Aqua said, being very positive about it. Brooke hit Aqua's are sort of hard and put a finger over her mouth telling Aqua to be quiet about something. Aqua shrugged and put her arms up in surrender, like when police point a gun at someone and says 'hand up'. I have no clue what they are talking about though. Aqua jumped back a little and shivered, it was very strange.

"You do not need to be afraid, we will not harm you. Me might harm Aqua here though" Pearl said looking kindly at us and sternly at Aqua.

"What did I do!" Aqua said in defense.

"We will talk about it later" Brooke said to the other two mermaids.

"Do you speak more than English?" Alek asked butting into the mermaid's conversation.

"Yep! We speak all languages! Mermaids are born with the ability to speak every language because if they travel they need to know how to speak to the people that are not human anyway." Brooke answered. Just then I noticed the three mermaids were wearing crystals tied onto seaweed to put around their necks. Brooke had a black crystal, Aqua had a clear crystal, and Pearl had a pink crystal.

"Amazing…" I breathed out.

"No kidding, it is pretty cool" Alek agreed, thinking I was talking about the languages. I was more talking about the necklaces.

"What can you speak?" Pearl asked Alek and I.

"Um…English, a little Spanish" I answered

"Same" Alek agreed. Aqua looked at Brooke, than at Pearl, and they nodded.

"Chloe, come here" Aqua beckoned me. Luckily Alek stepped in front; being the protector I know and love.

"Seriously, you are her protector too? I will not hurt her! Everyone cares about the Unitor, well except for humans…and then there is the Order, and the Jackals, and I am sure the sharks could careless…" Aqua said drifting into thought. My eyes widened with surprise and fear of what she had said.

"This is why we do not tell Aqua to do these kinds of jobs" Brooke whispered over to Pearl, knowing we could hear. It made me smile and calm down a little, and laugh. My laughed than made Pearl and Brooke smile. Aqua was still into thought and now staring at the almost full moon.

"We will not hurt her Alek; we need to tell her something. Just her" Brooke assured Alek. He looked at me, and stepped aside. I walked slowly over to the edge of the water. I was staring more at Aqua who was completely unaware of what was happening. I bent down to Brooke and Pearl and they lifted themselves up out of the water a little.

"Chloe King, we need you help" Brooke whispered very quietly in my ear so Alek couldn't hear.

"With what?" I asked. What could I do for a few mermaids?

"The full moon, we need shelter. If we are swimming around when it has risen, bad things will happen." Pearl said.

"You mean like Aqua?" I asked pointing to the mesmerized mermaid. Brooke and Pearl jumped in surprise realizing she was staring at the almost full moon. They quickly pushed Aqua into the water and she came up back into things. Aqua came out of the water, and nodded thanks to Brooke and Pearl.

"Thanks, and it gets a LOT worse than that" Brooke said.

"What happens?" I asked them.

"I will tell you if you promise to help us, and give us shelter on the night of the full moon." Aqua said taking her position on the rocks again.

"Ok, I will. But why couldn't Alek hear this?" I wondered.

"We…do not trust him…" Brooke answered.

"Why not?" I asked, I mean, why shouldn't they?

"He does not trust us" Pearl told me. I looked over at him and back at the three mermaid girls.

"He is looking at your butt by the way" Pearl said smirking. WHAT? I got up and turned around to Alek, but slipped backwards into the water. The water was more…inviting… It kind of caught me. Anyways, Alek ran over and stopped at the edge of the concrete. He looked at the three mermaids, who were laughing hysterically, and jumped into the water after me. He actually jumped over Aqua to get to me, but he used his Mai powers to do it. He swam down to me and brought me to the surface. Yea you're wondering why I didn't just swim, well I never learned. It is embarrassing but true. What I came out of the water Alek and I were just staying in the one spot looking into each other's eyes.

"Yey! We are swimming now!" Aqua shouted excitedly. That's a different side of her… The three mermaids dived into the water and swam playfully around us. We were using out night vision still but we couldn't see under the water. Sometimes we would see glances of their tails or Aqua's long hair, and sometimes they would tickle our feet or their tails would brush past us. The mermaids tails felt a little slimy, but smooth and very scaly. Than after about ten minutes Aqua popped up.

"She knows you were looking at her butt Alek!" Aqua exclaimed. She giggled and dove back under. I was blushing and Alek looked very embarrassed. I laughed and kissed him on the lips. We heard two 'ewwww's' and one 'awwww'. Alek and I pulled apart to see the mermaids back on the rocks, this time sitting on the rocks where we could see all of their tails. Alek helped me swim back over to the rocks. We climbed up with the mermaids and sat next to them.
