Bella's point of view
I wasn't sure about going to college somewhere far away, plus the moon pool was here and it was finally fixed. "What about Will, Ash, Lewis, and Zane?"
"They can come too!"
"What will happen when we come back?"
"This whole thing will probably blow over, the mermaids on Golden Coast will be old news."
"What do you guys think?"
"Well..." Emma started. "It might be our only choice. Plus it's like a vacation!"
"Ya!" Cleo agreed.
"Will? What do you think?"
"What ever you decide, I will be standing right behind you!"
"Thanks... Let's do it!"
"Great, I'll tell Zane."
"And I'll tell Lewis."
"I have to tell Ash."
"Bye!" They all said rushing out the door, by now the reporters left, apparently a dog just figured out how to do ventriloquism.
"I have to go home... But Sophie, we can trust you, right?"
"Right!" She nodded her head.
"Good. Bye Will!"
"Bye!"
Emma's point of view
I walked down to the horse ranch to share the news, Ash was giving a ridding lesson but he immediately stopped when he saw me enter.
"What's wrong, Emma?"
"Nothings wrong. I just have to tell you something... it's about college."
"What about college!" For a moment there, I thought I gave him a heart attack. His eyes bugged out, his mouth wide open, and his hair sticking out from the back of his neck.
"You know about the... "big secret" of ours, well because of that we would have to go to a different college. Out of Australia."
"What?"
"All of us are going, and I was hoping you would too?"
"Um... well...-"
"You don't have to."
"No!, I will go. Count me in!"
"Great, thanks." I gave him a quick hug and texted the girls.
BF, committed!
Great! Now it's my turn. Wish me luck with Lewis.
Cleo's point of view
I was walking over to the dock looking for Lewis's boat, at the same time I was checking out Denman's. Just to see if there's anything we need to get back involved in. Lewis agreed to take that study thing the first half and show up on my graduation, and work at the Golden Coast the second half. When I finally found Lewis's boat I was so happy... but it was in the in the water anchored some where were I couldn't go over there with out becoming a mermaid. I just called him and told him to meet me at Mako after work. So while he was busy, I decided to hang out at the beach. When I got there everyone crowded around me, trying to splash water on me but I used my powers to avoid them. After a while I got sick of it so I pushed them out of the way and headed to Will's shed as fast as I could. I knocked on the door and when the door opened it was Sophie, I sighed and told her if I could stay for a bit. She said it was ok and let me in, it was just her and I. We sat on the couch and sat in silence for ten or twenty minutes then I got a text from Lewis.
Off of work, heading to Mako
K. B there in a flash
"Soph, It's Lewis... I have to go."
"Ok, see you later... I guess?"
"Thanks!" I then ran out the door and headed to the beach. This time I took a short cut and hid behind some rocks and jumped into the water, when I got to Mako I saw Lewis smiling at me.
"Hey, fish face. Where were you?"
"At Will's shed."
"Oh. Well... what was the big news?"
"It's about college-"
"Ya?"
"I- I mean we-"
"We who?"
"The "mermaid cub" and will you stop interrupting me!"
"Ok, ok! Continue."
"Well... because of the whole mermaid thing. We will have to go to college out of Australia."
"What!"
"Ya..."
"I can't leave. I have spent my whole life preparing for college, being a good student, and I got excepted to work with the top marine research in the world! I can't just blow them off and say, sorry I have to go. My girlfriend the mermaid needs me."
"I know! But everyone is going and the support would be nice."
"I have supported you from the begging!"
"Please, Lewis!"
"No. Goodbye, Cleo... I have work to do." He then left and I texted the girls
Not sooo sure about Lewis, Maybe Bella will have better luck!
K. I'll do it!
Bella's point of view
I was on my way to Will's shed when I saw him at Rikki's Cafe. So, I went in there, took a deep breathe, and went up to him.
"Hey, Will!"
"Hi, Bella!"
"So... how's your smoothie?"
"Good."
"Good!... Um... Will, can I talk to you?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"Well... college is coming up soon and because of us being mermaids, we thought it would be a great idea if we went somewhere out of Australia... and I was wondering if you wanted to come too. You don't have to- We don't want to force you-"
"I'll go."
"Really?"
"Ya. I love being with you guys, it fun and exciting."
"THANKS!"
2 down 2 to go. Rikki ur up!

Rikki's point of view
I was walking over to Zane's place to talk to him about college, when I got there I rang the door bell and Zane answered the door and I stepped inside. He had a big smile on face, not sure why, but maybe he was glad to see me. We sat on the couch in the living room and I shared the news.
"Hey, Rikki. What brought you here?"
"Zane, we need to talk. It's about college... I know you have been applying for the top college's in Australia, but things might change. You know because the whole mermaid thing we want to have a little bit more normal college experience... and that might mean doing it out of Australia, so I-WE! were wondering if you wanted to join us?-"
"Oh course."
"Really? I mean that's great but-"
"Really. I love being with you, that gives me an idea, why don't we go out to celebrate tonight."
"Cool, I'll tell the girls."
"No, let it be just us. Almost like a date."
"A date?"
"A date."
"Ok." I gave him a kiss on the kiss on the cheek and went out the door.
Later...
I got ready for my date with Zane, I did makeup, got my favorite dress on, and put my necklace on, before I knew Zane was knocking on my door. We went outside and I asked him where we were going
he said "Mako Island."
"Really... I've been there like all the time!"
"I know, but I thought it's romantic."
"Ok, if it will make you happy."
We then swam there and went into the moon pool. Zane had a whole dinner already their, it was very sweet of him. We talked for hours and took a little dip in the water too! When he was drying off we talked even more.. "Rikki, I've had the best day with you today. But I don't want it to be my last." He then got down on his knees and pulled out a box. "Rikki, will you marry me?"
"Yes! Yes, Zane!" I gave him a kiss and had a huge smile on my face but a thought just occurred and my smile slowly disappeared "Hey, Zane?"
"Ya?"
"It just occurred to me, we will go to college soon. and if we're engaged, when will we like... you know... get married?"
"What are you talking about?... OHH! Well we could get married when we're done from college."
"Oh. Ok, I'll tell the girls the great news!"
"Why do you always have to tell them everything! Can't you stay awhile?"
"I don't know?"
"But tonight is a full moon, and it's night time."
"Seriously! Great. Just great, well I guess I am staying."
"Cool. I'll go get a movie and make popcorn."
"No need, I'll make the popcorn!"
"Right, forgot, you have mermaid powers."
Then Zane went upstairs, got the movie, and came back down to while that was happening. I got the popcorn nice and hot. After that the next thing I heard was Zane's dad screaming "Wake up you love birds!" Apparently we fell asleep during the movie and it's now morning. Zane just signaled his dad to leave, I then texted the girls telling them the great news.

Cleo's point of view
I was on my way back from Mako island, I decided to go for a swim this morning. But before I entered the house I checked the mail, when I opened it I saw a letter labeled To: Cleo Setori From: College Institute of California My eyes light up I ran inside to open it, and when I did it said "Congratulations you have been accepted to the University, we are pleased to have you." and some other mumbo jumbo. I called the girls to see if they got a letter too, and they did! They told me the boys did too! But I need to pack if i wanted to make it on time tomorrow. I packed up and when I finally finished packing I realized... I HAVEN"T TOLD MY DAD! I ran downstairs to tell my dad and Sam, luckily they were on the couch reading together.
"Hey dad, hey Sam!"
"Oh, hi Cleo" Sam said.
"How's your book's?"
"Good. Anything wrong, Cleo?"
"Oh, no. Just wanted to let you know I got accepted to a college in California and I'm leaving tomorrow. bye!" I tried to run up to my room but my dad stopped me with his comment.
"Your what now"
"Dad, don't worry-"
"Don't worry! My... mermaid daughter is going away were I can't protect her!"
"I can handle myself, plus my friends are going there too!"
"Which friends, the normal ones, or the insane mermaid-power-freaks!"
"The mermaid ones, and stop it. They are my friends and you can't talk about them like that! and stop calling me a mermaid!" I ran to my room after that.
Don's point of view
"and stop calling me a mermaid!"
Bang! she shut her door
"Don, I love you. But you will have to let her go, she will always be your girl." Sam said reassuring me.
"I-I know. But she's a mer-freak!"
"But she is your daughter and you have to decide is she a mermaid or your mermaid?"
What will Cleo's dad choose? Will Lewis come to California? What happened to Lucy? Stay tuned to find out!
Please Review! Oh and just to state out the facts I do NOT own any of the h20 characters (except Lucy; she's mine)
