Emma's point of view
I walked into my house for the first time in over a month, and it was just my family Cleo's family went back to there house. My family was still getting use to the whole mermaid thing. When I got there I sat down on the couch and watched TV, until my mom kicked me off the couch because Elliot is having his birthday party in a few minutes. I went up to my room to hide from the party because knowing kids it will be a disaster for me.
Rikki's point of view
We jumped into the pool and swam for a bit, then Zane got one of those chairs that float on water and sat there while we talked.
"So... College is starting soon. What are you going to be studying?" I asked Zane.
"I was thinking of taking some business classes."
"Cool... I was thinking of doing business too, so we could both be able to handle the cafe."
"Look at you, wanting to be involved in the business!" He said with his hand on my face. "Oh and guess what, my dad said that while we're away at college he will keep the cafe running!"
"That's great!" "But I have to go, it's getting late."
"Why don't you stay?"
"Excuse me?"
"The paparazzi might be out there, you could stay in the guest bedroom."
"I guess."
"Here, let me help you out of the pool."
"Thanks, I'll dry off now." Then I used my powers to dry myself off. Afterwards Zane showed me to the guest bedroom and got me a extra pair of pj's. It was grey with white buttons and was a little too big. Then I went to sleep and Zane went to his room and went to bed. The next morning I woke up and saw the light coming through the cracks of the window. I got up and went downstairs, were I saw Zane making breakfast. Zane making breakfast? Oh well.
"Hey! Did you sleep well." He said flipping a pancake.
"Ya, how about you?"
"I slept well... are you hungry?"
"I'm starving! Oh and by the way, where is your dad?"
"Business meeting."
"Ah!... well we can't let the food go to waste."
Zane just laughed and got his breakfast.
"Thanks for the breakfast, it was really good. But I have to go, the girls and I are going shopping."
"Ok, I have to go too."
"Bye!"
"Bye!"
I left and went shopping to almost every store! Our hands were full of bags. We walked into the jewelry store to check out some... well, jewelery! When we came in a familiar guy was there too, I feel like I've seen him some where before. But you can't tell too much about one person from the back of their neck.
"Hey, Emma. Does that guy over there look familiar?"
"No, why?"
"I thought I've seen him from somewhere."
"Maybe you haven't?"
"Ya, maybe?" I shrugged.
We continued shopping and then went home. But it was hard to get home because suddenly the paparazzi showed up. How did they know were here? We ran as fast as we could but a reporter spilled water on us and the only option was head to Will's shed. Mostly because it was the closets safe spot around, instead of knocking we burst through the door and slammed it shut, knowing we only had a second left. Sophie and Will watched us transform, Will was ok but Sophie looked like she's seen a ghost!... What's up with these people? Haven't they watched TV?
"Soph. it's not what it looks like-"
"I won't tell." She interrupted.
"Excuse me? Sophie is that really you?"
"It's me!" She chuckled. "I've always wondered why you girls were so weird, and now I know why. Will was right, you girls are human beings and I should treat you like one. I promise you have my word."
"Soph.?" Will asked with a confused look on his face. "Wait!... You said I was right?"
"Yep."
"Wow!, Um... Thanks."
"So since I'm new to the whole "mermaid" thing, how do I help you in this situation?"
"Oh! Don't worry I've got it." I then dried off all of our tails and we just sat on the ground looking at Sophie and Will. To stop the awkward silence I started to talk about college. "So... college is coming up soon. Anyone have anything in mind?"
Bella went first. "I was thinking of taking some singing classes, for fun of course."
"Cool." Emma started. "I want to be a swim coach-" But Will interrupted her before she could get out another word
"Doesn't that involve water and getting wet?"
"Well, ya. But I won't get in, I'll just coach."
"Ok. Well my turn. I want to take some cooking classes, I'm always into trying new things."
"Yum!" said Cleo. "I want to take some science classes, then I could do experiments."
"Like what?" Sophie encountered.
"Like the moon pool and Mako island."
"Whoa!" I stopped her. "Don't do that at college! Do it on your own time."
"Ok."
"Good." "I am going to take some business classes for the cafe."
"Well?" Emma said pointing her eyes towards Sophie.
"Well, what?"
"What are you going to take?"
"Oh!, right... I am going to take a designer class."
"Hey guys?"
"Ya, Rikki?" Bella said turning her head towards me.
"I think we allshould go to college out of Australia."
"Why?"
"Because... the whole mermaid thing just would feel different if we stayed here, so if we went somewhere else then we could come back and live our lives again."
"I don't know?"
Will the girls have to go to college somewhere else? What will happen to their love lives? (boyfriends). Can they really trust Sophie? Find out in Chapter 12, The Final Move!
