Zane just sat there, wishing he never told Denman about mermaids. If he would of known his girlfriend was a mermaid he wouldn't of done this! But then Zane thought back a moment... he realized at the time with his ego he still would of done this. Zane hated himself at that moment.

Lewis finally spoke, regretting having to answer her questions. "They...huu... The girls did lose their powers and their tails. But we found out it was only for twelve hours."

Denman wrote every word on a piece of paper, then when she finished writing she asked her next question. "What was the worst thing you guys have experienced with them?"

Will went first. "The day you came" he laughed. "Just kidding! Honestly nothing has been bad with them. Every day is like a new adventure that you share with the people you know and love!"

Then Ash went. "Not knowing her secret was the worst for me. Their was something about her that I just couldn't figure out, I felt like she was hiding something. Once she showed me it all made sense!"

Lewis went and Zane was after. "Mine would probably be... the day we all camped out at Mako. That was really scary."

Instead of Zane telling his story, he just sat there for a moment, got up, got off the boat, to the dock, and jumped off screaming Rikki's name and diving into the water. Before Denman got out her men to come after Zane, Will kind of did that for them.

Zane just kept on swimming though, he wanted to see Rikki so bad he didn't care that he didn't have his motor boat with him. Actually that thought accured to Will. Before he swam all the way out into the ocean he went back to the boat hopped on Zane's motor boat and went over to Zane.

"What do you think you're doing!" Will shouted.

"I need to see Rikki!"

"Look, I know you guys broke up but don't go crazy over something like that."

Zane just stared at him with those angry eyes. He didn't know whether to tell him or not. He pushed his arms up on the boat and then pulled himself in. Will drove them both back to the dock. Zane hair dripped on his red t-shirt while he wiped his face.

"What happened over there, Zane?" Denman asked.

"I-uh, it's not important-just skip to the next question!"

The Moon Pool...

"How long can one lunatic take!" Rikki shouted.

"I don't know, but I'm starting to get hungry!" Bella pouted.

Emma spoke next. "If Ash was here, I bet he would make us a nice Italian pizza."

Rikki just thought to herself, wishing Zane was here with her. What she didn't know was, she said that out loud.

"Rikki? Is everything alright? What's going on with Zane?" Cleo asked.

Rikki felt like she was being pounded with questions. She wanted to swim away, so she dove into the pool. About to swim out of Mako when she ran into the medal bars. Suddenly a cold hand touched her shoulder, she quickly turned around seeing it was Cleo. She grabbed Rikki by the hand and carried her up back to the surface. Cleo got out asking Rikki to dry her off, but Rikki stayed in the moon pool.

After that there was an awkward silence. Finally, ten minutes later Dr. Denman came through the entrance.

"It took you long enough." said Rikki.

Before Denman said anything else, she had to ask one thing first. "How did you get dried off?"

"We're hungry! Can you get us some pizza first?" Rikki said, escaping Denman's question

"Sure. I'll call one of my guys to go and it." Dr. Denman walked out of the cave and placed a call. "Gregg. I need you to get a pizza for me, oh and bring some of the men too! They need to help my with my studies. Make sure the boys don't escape! Got it?... Thought so. Bye Gregg!" After called Gregg she saw she had another call... "Hello?... Sophie? Hi! uh, what do you want... Ya, I have them. I'm at Mako right now... I guess... Ok see ya... Bye!"

Denman then came back in the cave, but she didn't start and tests yet. She had to wait for her crew to arrive. Until then she just documented some questions she asked...

"Cleo. What's your thoughts when you touch water in a public place?"

"Terrifying, Scary, Running, Hiding, Exposure!"

Denman typed it all down and then asked Bella a question, "Did you become a mermaid here too?"

"Actually, no. Long Story short I found a place just like Mako in Ireland when I was nine years old."

"Emma. What was the best thing that has ever happened to you?"

"Becoming a mermaid, obviously! Out of winning champion swim medals to having a younger brother, being a mermaid with always beat that! Especially since I was with my best friends."

Denman asked without even looking up to Rikki. "Rikki, when you see a full moon. What happens?"

Rikki wanted to not speak, she knew that their still might be a chance of escaping and she wanted to give out little info as possible.

"I can't tell you."

"RIKKI!" Bella yelled. "Tell her what she wants to know! I don't want to break up a fight."

Emma laughed. "You know how crazy she is too!"

"You wouldn't believe what happened while you were gone."

"Guys!" Rikki said.

"Oh and how she gets hot-headed." Emma chuckled.

"Guys!" Rikki went again.

"Don't forget how judgmental she is." said Bella.

"GUYS!" Rikki screamed.

"What?" They both said. Rikki just slide her hand down her face.

"Look. I'm not going tell her anything, ok? So just forget it!" At that very moment Rikki thought Zane again softly sighing his name. Denman some how overheard her sighing and got the pizza a moment later. Gregg, Carl, and Jeff came in with some more equipment. (FYI I own Carl and Jeff NOT Gregg)

Denman told Carl to cut the pizza while Gregg and her went outside the cave for a moment.

"What is it, Dr. Denman?" Gregg asked.

"I want you to go back to the boat and bring Zane Bennett over here. No questions asked."

"Yes, !" Gregg ran back to the beach on Mako and drove their extra motor boat back to the dock. Denman walked back in the cave, opening, and setting up some more equipment.

"Mm! What is this? Pizza Pauly's Pizza." Rikki said stuffing cheese in her mouth.

"It's really good." Emma complimented.

"Best pizza in the Golden Coast!" said Bella.

"Glad you all like it." Denman smiled. "Now that you ate...It's time for testing!" Denman removed the fake wall and propped up the rest of the equipment.

"Emma. Please get onto the sand up here."

Emma just rolled her eyes and pushed her arms up and then wiggled her tail over to the sand.

"Good." said Denman, "Now, just stay still this won't hurt a bit." A sharp, pointy needle suddenly went through Emma's right arm. She held her breath as the pain increased. When they took it out she exhaled largely.

"See. That didn't hurt at all!" 'smiled' "Next I need a scale sample from you. Want us to pull one off, or do you have a different idea?"

"Ya, I do." Emma winked at Rikki and Rikki lifted her hand up from the water, clenched it, to then dry Emma off. "Can I have a clipper, please?"

Carl came over to Emma and gave her a nail clipper. She then cut one of her toe nails and gave it to Denman.

"Thanks?" Denman responded.

... After a few hours of testing. The girls were pretty worn out and it was getting close to dusk. Denman quickly needed to think of a place for the mermaids to stay for the night. Rikki offered Zane's place. At first Cleo and Bella eye balled Rikki with a crazy look, they knew Zane and Rikki broke up so they didn't get why she offered. A few minutes later Gregg and Zane walked into the cave. Rikki thought it was pure luck. But Cleo, Bella, and Emma thought it was just a coincidence

"Glad you could come." said Denman. Soon enough Dr. Denman took Zane outside the cave once again and spoke to him. But before she could Zane had to speak, too worried what she might say.

"-If it's about the thing that happened on the dock earlier..." But Dr. Denman interrupted.

"It's not about that."

"it's not?"

"No!" Denman giggled. "We were just wondering if the mermaids could stay at your place for the night. We would still be there though, we're not letting you off that easy!"

Zane ignored calling them mermaids instead of people and just nodded. Still happy they can stay. His father was away again and would be back in a few weeks, he missed him very much. The only bright side was he didn't have to get yelled at for not telling him they are mermaids again, or something like that. Gregg took Zane back to the dock, picked up Ash, Will, and Lewis. Then headed to Zane's place. Denman attached some ankle (more like tail) bracelets to their tails. Then let them out so they could swim back. But with the ankle bracelets she could see if they try to run away. Cleo, Emma, Rikki, and Bella did their usual and went to their rock to dry off.

Once they were dry they all ran to Zane's house. Rikki especially ran the fastest. They have never seen her run so fast, the only other time she ran that fast was when they spotted Turns, her favorite movie being filmed on the beach. (made it up) She was already ahead of them. Rang the doorbell already too! Oh course Denman and her crew was already there. A few minutes later Cleo, Bella, and Emma finally caught up to her and was in the kitchen catching their breathe.

Bella's stomach growled loudly. Rikki laughed, thinking Bella was hungry instead of her, "Want something to eat" she asked.

Bella responded with a smile, "Yes!"
