Will was sitting at a booth, reading a good book, when Nate ran up to him.

"Did you know that your girlfriend is a mermaid?" he asked somewhat quietly but bluntly.

"No, but I guess she's as pretty as one," Bella told Will about the incident. He really wanted to convince Nate that a lie was the truth, sure it sounded bad, but it wasn't.

"No, seriously man. I was at Mako, that creepy jungle island, and she was there… but she was half fish." Nate said dramatically.

Will smiled. "I don't believe you, sorry."

"No, I can prove it. Have you noticed the songs she wrote? How mermaid-specific her lyrics are? Like what kind of not-fish would write 'I'm no ordinary girl, I'm from the deep blue underworld'?"

"Come on, Nate, she likes to swim. You like high heels, doesn't mean you're a girl." Will remembered walking in on Nate in high heels and shuddered inwardly.

"Don't tell anyone about that, Will. …Anyway, I don't care if you don't believe your girlfriend's a mermaid, but she is." And with that, he stomped off.

5 minutes later, Rikki came up to him. Yet another person that kept him from reading his novel.

"Do you know who your annoying cousin really is?" she interrogated.

"Charlotte?" Will asked.

"No, your other annoying cousin I know. Yes Charlotte! Did you know that she used to have mermaid powers?"

"Really? Were you guys friends or something?"

"No. No, no, no. We weren't. At all." Rikki gagged at the memories.

"Oh… well, then. What was the relationship then?"

"She was basically an evil-supervillian mermaid. She tried to expose us. And kill us. But she lost her mermaid powers, don't worry."

"What? That's crazy! Sure Charlotte can be a witch sometimes but she's not /that/ bad." Will actually wasn't sure.

"Well it's true." Rikki's watch beeped. "I need to run. And was your grandmother's name Gracie, by chance?"

"Yeah?" Will wondered where this was going.

"She was a mermaid. Bye!" Rikki ran off, leaving Will almost as crazy as Nate.
