Chapter 9

Author's note/Disclaimer: Like I've said before I don't own Ocean Girl or H20: Just Add Water.


"Emma! Bella!" Cleo and Rikki called out as they swam to catch them before they sank under the water in the Moonpool.

"Are you two okay?" Cleo asked.

"Bella, was right." Emma said. "It was so peaceful." When she noticed their confused looks she added. "The water tentacle like it was keeping me save somehow."

"Well, Guess who also got abducted by the water tentacle." Rikki told her gesturing towards Bella.

"Bella!" Emma quickly made her way over to her. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." She told them.

"Where have you been?" Rikki demanded, "You just disappeared!"

"And who's that Girl?!" Cleo asked.

"I am Neri." The girl replied, "Bella's friend. She's been living with me on my Island."

"What do you mean?" Emma asked.

"I think you have some explaining to Do Bella." Rikki said crossing her arms. The four mermaids were now all standing dry and in human form.

"This is the girl I told you about. The one that was swimming with the Humpback whale." She responded. "She lives on an Island quite a ways away from here."

"Why were you with her?" Cleo questioned.

"Will knows that My secret has something to do with water." She told them exactly what had happened in the exchange between herself and Will. "And if Neri hadn't held the door so I could crystalize it. He would've found out my secret."

"So what are you exactly?" Rikki asked Neri.

"Rikki! Be polite!" Emma chided her friend.

"What I just want to know." The fiery mermaid replied.

"I don't know; but I not human." She replied.

"Does she always speak like that?" Cleo asked.

"Yes." Bella responded. "She's lived alone on her Island her whole life practically. Her father died when she was young and she doesn't know what happened to her mother."

"We need to Tell Jason and Brett You alright Bella." Neri told her.

"Who are Jason and Brett?" Cleo asked.

"They're friends of Neri and they know My mermaid secret." She waited for their reactions.

"WHAT!?" The three of them Exploded.

"How could you tell them?!" Rikki exclaimed angrily.

"I can trust them." She argued back.

"Oh really, and how do you know that?" Emma demanded furiously.

"They've kept Neri's secret haven't they?" Bella shot back.

"I don't know have they?" Rikki argued.

Bella shot Rikki a glare. "Yes they have for a year now."

"Well, since you know our secret I guess we have no choice but to trust you." Emma said to Neri.

"Won't tell secret." Neri replied.

"You better not." Rikki responded.

"We better get back to The guys and let them know we're okay." Emma pointed out.

"Are you coming Bella?" Cleo asked.

"Sure." She shrugged, "Only if Neri can come."

"Alright." Rikki responded.

Emma dove into the Moonpool followed by Cleo, and then Rikki.

"Would you like to meet my other friends?" Bella asked Neri.

"Yes." She replied.

"Follow me then." Bella replied. Bella dove into the Moonpool and Neri follow suit.

The four Mermaids and The Alien swam back to Cleo's house. They pulled themselves onto the dock and dried themselves off. Once they were back in human form they made their way into Cleo's house.

"Cleo, Rikki, Emma!" The boys exclaimed. They made their way over to their respective girl friends and hugged them.

"And Bella?!" Lewis said. The guys hugged Bella.

"Where have you been?"

"Are you okay?"

"What happened to make you leave?"

The guys fired off the questions at her.

"I was staying on an Island with the girl I told you about that was Swimming with a humpback whale." Bella answered their questions one at a time. "I'm fine, Neri's friends know I'm a mermaid and so does she. And I left because Will spilled water on me. He knew somehow that my secret had to do with water and he poured a glass of water on my hand. Neri blocked the door so I could crystalize it and then we swam off before the water melted."

"Hello." Neri said, "Nice to meet you."

"Bella who's that?" Ash asked.

"This is Neri," She responded. "The girl I saw swimming with the Humpback whale. She's been letting me stay on her Island with her."

"Why were you staying on her Island?" Zane asked.

"I figured that if I stayed here that Will would keep trying to find out my secret and I didn't want to put you guys in danger."

"Wait, Didn't you say that Neri's friends know your mermaid secret."

"Yes." Bella replied, "Jason and Brett. They're brothers and before you go off at me too. just know that They've kept Neri a secret for a little over a year and their very trustworthy."

"I hope so." Ash responded. "Because if not you've not only put yourself in danger but Cleo, Emma and Rikki too."


Author's note: Should Neri become a Mermaid or not? She was in the Moonpool during a Full moon but she's also an Alien. Should she not become a mermaid since she's already an alien or should she become and Mermaid as well as an alien? Or maybe be a Mermaid/Alien Hybrid but can chose whether or not she changes form?
