H20 Just Add Water | Mermaid Magic | Catch of the Day – Part 1

Reanna fell out of her bed with a thump, she let out a small groan as she rolled herself onto her back, then heard a familiar snigger come out of nowhere, but really it sounded like it came from the other end of her bedroom. Reanna sat up, wincing as she felt her hip already starting to bruise, thanks to the fall and when she saw David standing in the corner with his hand covering his mouth as if he was trying to hide his smile, she narrowed her eyes at him in annoyance. "David," She growled.

David smirked at his sisters annoyance, he really did love to do this to her and pushing her off the bed was one of the things he does to her. Unfortunately, Reanna told him to never use the water again because apparently it makes her fall in the bathroom all the time although he felt like she was lying to him for some reason, "Calm down, little sis," He chirped, "If you carry on like that, someone will think we have a dog in the house, especially with your growls."

Reanna rolled her eyes and flopped back on to the floor, "What do you want?" She grumbled, curling back into her covers just wanting to go back to sleep.

"Wellll-" He drawled, a small smile placed on his face as he leaned his back against Reanna's desk, but when he saw what his sister was doing he started to let a small chuckle leave his lips, "I was thinking, that I wanted to give you a surprise since I was about to go off to work, but I see you don't want it after all." He teased.

Reanna suddenly frowned in confusion, work? Doesn't David work from 7am today? She flew the covers of her bed off her upper body and looked up at her grinning brother, "Work? What time is it?" She asked, she was praying that she hadn't slept in because she was supposed to meet Emma and Rikki by the beach at 6am, ready from a morning swim. She didn't even realise the part where David said he had a surprise for her.

David now looked confused, wondering what the time had to do with his surprise. He knew she was going to love it, but it was like she didn't even hear it, "Uh," He began, then looked to his watch, "It's 6:35."

Reanna's eyes widen, "Shoot!" She exclaimed in a loud voice, trying to get out of her blankets quickly, she was late!

David watched in amusement when he saw his sister trip on the blankets and fall with a large thud onto the ground. "What's the rush?" He questioned, looks like he'll have to tell her the surprise later; since Reanna looked like she was late for something.

Reanna got up, cringing at the slightly pain in her body because of the amount of falls she's had this morning alone. She quickly ran to her cupboards and grabbed the clothing she wanted to wear today, "I was supposed to meet Rikki and Emma at 6," She explained, "Sorry, and can we do this tonight?" She asked, hoping David wasn't too disappointed.

David nodded, he was a little bummed that his sister was going again. He had noticed that she seemed to have gone out every day and the only time he saw her was before bed and in the morning. "Sure, I'll tell you later." He told her, just as she ran into the bathroom and he turned around walking out of the room, leaving her to get ready.

Reanna sighed from the bathroom, she had detected some sadness in her brother's voice. She knew she had been out quite a lot lately but she loved being a mermaid, so whenever she could, she would go for a swim with one of the girls. Well, except Cleo anyway, they still haven't been able to get her in the water. If Cleo could just try out swimming in the sea, she would know that she was okay.

After washing herself as much as she could without turning into a fish, Reanna put on a pair of light blue skinny jeans that had a couple of rips on the legs, her top was a blueberry blue tank top with a couple of buttons in the middle of it and the jacket she had opted to wear was the same jacket that she wore when she first met the girls; her military style short-sleeve jacket. On her left wrist was the four-stranded bead bracelet from her grandmother and around her neck was a small leafed necklace, for shoes she had decided to wear her black and white sneakers. Last night she had straightened her hair before she went to bed, so all she had to do this morning was ring a hairbrush threw it; to get rid of the bedtime knots that had accumulated during the night.

With her clothing out of the way Reanna grabbed her blue-patterned bag from her desk and quickly stuffed her phone and wallet in. Making sure everything she needed was inside she ran down the stairs and grabbed a granola bar, knowing that she'll be hungry sooner rather than later. Reanna noticed David sitting at the table, "Hey," She quickly said, giving him a hug from behind, "I'll be back later," She promised, giving him a kiss on the cheek before running out of the door as a fast speed but making sure she closed the door behind her. "Have a good time at work!" She called just as the door closed behind her.

Reanna ran all the way over to the boat deck, leaving her belongings in their family's boat. Yes, she had found it with her brother's help a couple of days ago, also she was sure that David wouldn't be using the boat for now. As soon as she placed her bag under one of the seats, Reanna dived into the sea just after making sure no one was watching.

Reanna was sure that Rikki and Emma had already gone into the water without her. On the way to the boat decks she had quickly listened to all the messages in her voice mail, one of them was from Rikki; she and Emma were going to be near Mako today in case she had wanted to join them after all. The two blondes had assumed that Reanna had been held up by her parents, especially after what Reanna had told Rikki the other day which in turn got relayed to Emma.

Within seconds Reanna's body morphed into a mermaid, she glanced at her tail with a smile before going super speed out of the marina, weaving throughout the different reefs and sea-life.

It had only taken ten minutes to spot the other two blonde mermaids, both of them were swimming around the multi-coloured reefs, each of them doing different ways to use their tails. Reanna smirked to herself, as she hid behind one of the natural formed rocks using her hands on them to keep her body down, Rikki and Emma wouldn't be able to hear her from where she was so her plan worked out well.

Reanna moved away from the rock, her tail propelling her forwards at a normal speed towards the two blonde's tails as her hands were together at the front of her, using them to direct herself in that particular direction.

Just as Reanna was a few centimetres away she grabbed each of the mermaid's tails from behind. Both Rikki and Emma made a startled jump in the water, their skin vibrating in horror before they turned around to see Reanna there behind them. They hearts were still beating fast as they each let out a sigh of relief, seeing as it was Reanna who had pulled their tails and not something else. Behind them was a very amused Reanna waving at them coyly with a teasing grin planted on her face

Reanna pointed upwards to the surface before using her large fin to guide her upwards with her hands directing her body once again.

Reanna, Rikki and Emma all popped up at the surface at the same time but as soon as Reanna did, she let lose her laugh, "You- You should have seen your faces." She gasped, holding her flat stomach in need of air but making sure she didn't sink back under water.

Rikki rolled her eyes with a small smile, "We were just startled." She protested, she would never admit that the trick had ticked a little fear into her since she did know what it could have been before she was it was Reanna.

Emma nodded, "Yeah, we weren't scared at all." She had to say it had frightened her for a moment. They loved the ocean, but they never really know what's in it and if anything would actually hurt them.

Reanna started to quieten down her laugh and raised an eyebrow at them suggestively, "I never said anything about being scared." 'It was confirmed', Reanna thought quietly.

Rikki shook her head, using her arms to make sure she didn't go back under the water, "Why didn't you meet us at the beach?" She wondered but changed the subject affectively. They had waited for 20 minutes at the meeting place, but Reanna never showed up. It was Emma that had suggested that they would send a text to Reanna, let her where they were going to be before actually going into the water.

Reanna groaned, remembering her embarrassing bed stunt this morning, "The alarm clock never woke me up," She started to explain, "David woke me up by throwing me off the bed this time and when he told he the time I got up in a rush." She tried to shake off the disappointed tone David had used this morning before he left her bedroom.

"He threw you off the bed?" Emma repeated shocked. How could a sibling do that? She'd never do that to Elliot.

Reanna shook her head with a smile, "It's just something we've done to each other since we were kids," She told them, "I would do the same to him but with an ice bucket." Suddenly the thought came to her, "I am so lucky I told David to quit throwing a bucket of water over me in the mornings now, ever since the tail first appeared it would be too much of a shock for him to find out his little sister grows a magical tail."

"Good idea," Rikki nodded, approving of Reanna's decision of making sure her brother didn't throw the bucket of water over her anymore. She then glancing between the two other mermaids, getting a good idea in mind, "So, who wants to see how long they can hold their breath for?" She wondered, they had never tried that yet, or at least actually testing it out with time.

Reanna nodded along with Emma, "I'm in." Both of them said together. Rikki, Emma and Reanna went under water to start their timer, before wanting to head over to the Juice-Net Café soon so they can try and find Cleo and Lewis so they could walk to school together.

~ 8 ~

Reanna, Rikki and Emma sat around one of the outside Juice-Net Café tables, each of them drinking a mango and pineapple smoothie as Lewis came over to them with one of his own. "You won't believe it," Emma bragged to him just as he was just sitting down in one of the non-occupied chairs, "We timed ourselves and guess how long we can hold our breath for?"

"15 minutes." Reanna answered with a huge grin, giving Emma and Rikki a high five as they copied her.

"Impressive," Lewis nodded, honestly amazed.

Rikki nodded and leaned back in her chair, "Yeah, it is pretty cool." They had tried out the test twice while they were in the water. The first time; they had actually lasted about 12 minutes but the second time came to just over the 15 minute mark.

"We could probably stay down for longer though, if we really tried." Emma commented, knowing that they could easily beat their record. But she was sure she'd last longer underwater than the other two blondes, since all her life has been about swimming.

Rikki turned to Emma with a daring look, "You're on." She challenged but then turned to Reanna who sat the other side of her, "What about you Rea?"

Reanna paused for a second, they had never called her Rea before. "Did you just call me Rea?" She questioned a little shocked, she liked it though. Only her brother had ever called her that in her whole life.

Rikki frowned but nodded anyway with Emma, "Yeah," Emma said, "We've designated 'Rea' as your official nickname, mostly because your name is really long; but your one of us now Rea."

Rikki nodded with Emma, "Yeah, besides you're our friend. Friends get cool nicknames." She nudged Reanna's shoulder with a grin. "Well," She thought about it, "A name that has a nickname in it anyway. Only Emma has a nickname capability along with you, me and Cleo don't." She shrugged, not bothered that her name can't have a nickname from 'Rikki'.

Reanna felt a warm sensation filling her, she was officially their friend and she had a nickname. "Okay," She nodded before grinning evilly, "Then I predict that 'I' will be the winner of that contest." She declared, before leaning back in her seat.

Emma raised a playful eyebrow, "You think you can beat me?" She looked between the other two blondes with question. Although, after seeing Reanna swim and the fact Rikki had told her that Reanna beat her before; Emma was a little skeptical when it came to beating Reanna at the race.

Rikki turned to Emma, "Bring it on." She told the taller mermaid.

Reanna crossed her arms, actually forgetting that Lewis was sitting, there watching the entire show, "Just because you've spent your whole life swimming Emma, doesn't mean you'll always be faster." She teased, smiling as the other girls did too, each of their veins filling with excitement.

Lewis leaned forward, placing his arms on the table as he looked between the three natural blondes in front of him, "You guys must be jumping out of your skins about this stuff." He couldn't help but comment with an excited grin himself, he had noticed the way each of them were acting but the part that made him excited was the fact that they were actual mermaids. They were proving the fact that mermaids, were in fact real. The three mermaids were acting like they've known each other for years which was completely impossible anyway because Reanna and Rikki were new to the coast. Lewis had also seen how shocked Reanna was when they called her their friend, which made him automatically assume that she's never had that many; or any in the past.

"Yeah," Emma nodded with a pleased look, but then remembered about Cleo not being so happy about the recent transformation like they were, "Well, three of us are." She told him just as Lewis's head turned to the side. The three girls did the same and saw what he was looking at, it was Cleo coming over to them.

Lewis smiled, "Cleo!" He exclaimed, wanting to break the news to Cleo hoping she would be ecstatic about it. It had been plainly obvious to him about Cleo's fear of going in the water was the thing stopping her from going in the ocean to join the girls with their experiments and ocean exploring. "Guess what?" He went on as Cleo was just about to sit down with him and the girls, "These three can hold their breath for 15 minutes." He tapped on the table, not realising how loud he was actually speaking.

"Lewis!" Rikki, Emma and Reanna hissed at him, letting him know that he needed to keep his voice down about that stuff, especially when they were out in a public place.

Cleo sat down in one of the unoccupied chairs, "What's going on?" She asked, confused as to what they were talking about.

Emma had a hopeful look on her face, wanting to see some kind of smile from Cleo when she told her, "We've been you-know, swimming." But Cleo merely nodded, not at all interested in it.

"It is the best thing," Rikki spoke up, an awe smile place on her lips, "It is out of this world."

Reanna nodded, hoping to get a good reaction from the brunette, "Cleo, come on," She slightly pleaded, "It's amazing, please you have to try it. You'll love it." She promised, Reanna was sure that once Cleo got the hang of it, she would love it – maybe more than them.

"That's great," Cleo put on a fake smile before trying to direct the subject to something else. All three mermaids looked visibly deflated when they saw this, "So has anyone been able to finish that calculus homework?" Cleo questioned, looking between all four of them but noticed only Lewis had nodded with a pleasing smile. "Question seven is a nightmare." She told them, she had been working on her homework last night.

Emma leaned forward, "We missed you this morning," She gave a look of question to Cleo, knowing that they had sent a text to her just like with Reanna this morning. "Why weren't you answering your phone?" They had left a voicemail on her machine, not knowing whether Cleo would listen to it or not.

Cleo ignored her and kept on with her homework questions, "And that project on Geography, that's due Thursday." From beside her, Lewis had figured out that Cleo was trying to avoid the whole mermaid deal. "We really need to get together on that one."

Rikki sighed, leaning her elbows on the table, "Listen, Cleo," She spoke up towards the brunette, "Whatever's happened to us is incredible, you've got to come out with us." Gesturing Reanna and Emma beside her, "It's amazing."

"I'm not doing it ok!" Cleo finally turned to her, speaking with a hard tone. She wasn't going in the water, and she never would. They was no need to and she didn't want to be this 'mermaid'. They might like it, but she won't. "I didn't ask for any of this to happen to us. So stop bugging me about it okay?" She put an underline of begging in her tone but also frustration by how many times she's heard that the water was great to swim in, especially with the tails in the sea. With that she got up from the table and walked away, not wanting to be around any of them right now.

Reanna sighed heavily, "We need a plan," She declared with a nod to herself, making the other three look at her in confusion. Reanna shrugged, "What? Cleo's afraid of the water but now being a mermaid will help her to overcome it. She just can't see it, but I can." She explained, leaning back in her chair. "If she could just go in their once, she'll see how amazing it is and want to go again."

Rikki pursed her lips in thought, before nodding to Reanna, "She's right." She told Emma, getting the idea Reanna was getting but shrugged, not really having a plan on how to make that happen. "It would just be best if it happened sooner, rather than later."

Note: So, this is short 'Part 1' but I'm hoping 'Part 2/3' will be longer. Sorry I didn't update this a couple of days ago, my head seems to be having a lot of headaches since school started.
