For the one who are interested, I've created a new story, a Twilight/H2O just add water crossover. I would really like some more readers.
Double trouble
It's late, nearly midnight, and a cloaked figure is walking down a dark alley. It stops before a container. "I know you are in there, so you better just come out." The container suddenly opens and a red swarm comes out of it. "If you don't call them back now, you'll regret it." A man also comes out of the container and the swarm get absorbed in his body. "That's more likely. Now I'm here to give you a chance to outgrow your low-level existence."
"I'm listening."

Cleo is at home when Lewis storms in to the house, drops his fishing rod and takes her in his arms. "I'm pumped, I'm ready." He looks down at what she was doing. "And you're not." He lets go off her. "Why aren't you ready?"
"Sorry."
"Cleo, it's the fishing competition, you and me, we enter every year."
"No, I'm sorry. I can't."
She moves over to the kitchen, followed by Lewis. She starts making sandwiches.
"Why not? Oh because your dad is judging this year?"
"No. Because fishing equals water equals the possibility of getting splashed equals the possibility of growing a tale in front of all the contestants."
"The year I finally win and you're not going to be there."
"I can still watch." She stops making sandwiches and lays her arm around his neck. She looks into his eyes. She gives him a sweet kiss on the lips. When she backs away, they both have a smile on their faces. "And weren't you going to win last year too?"
"Yes, but last year I didn't have this."
He goes into his pocket and gets something out.
"Wow, that's great. What is it?"
"It's the ultimate lure, designed by myself."
"Well it's certainly unusual."
Cleo's dad comes in so they quickly let go off each other. Cleo continues with the sandwich-making.
"Hey Mr. Setori."
"Did you break something?"
"No, this is my new lure."
"Someone sold you that?"
"No, I designed it myself, what do you think?"
"As a judge I really shouldn't give my opinion."
"That's totally understood, that's totally fair. Besides I already got the advantage."

Rikki is walking towards the juice net café, thinking about the last three days she spent with her mom. Suddenly two hands appear in front of her eyes.
"Guess who?"
"Let me guess, an annoying git."
"Really funny." Zane turns her around and catches her in a hug. "So how have you been? I called you but you didn't answer."
"Sorry I was busy."
"I really missed you. So, why don't we fix that? Let's go on a ride on my zodiac."
"Sorry Zane, I'm meeting my mom."
"Rikki, I haven't seen you in three days, I think that your mom can miss you for an hour or two."
"Zane, I haven't seen my mom in ten years. Gee, how more selfish can you be?"
"Rikki, I just missed you and I want to spent some time with you. Is that so hard to understand?"
"I get it, everything is fine as long as you get what you want. I thought you changed but I was wrong, you're still the same spoiled brat I met in the beginning of the year."
"Rikki, you don't mean that."
"Yes, I do, now leave me alone."
Rikki walks away, leaving Zane behind, hurt.
-h2o-
Cleo is sitting in the juice net café with Emma and Rikki.
"It will be totally fun. Besides I think that Lewis would really appreciate the support. Emma?"
"Euhm."
"C'mon. At least you could get your mind off Byron. Rikki?"
"Sorry, but fishhooks make me nervous, especially lately. Besides I got something more important to do."
She gets up to head out and almost walks into Zane. She looks angry at him and walks away, leaving him looking after her.
-h2o-
Rikki walks up to her mom's room, right when she wants to knock, her mom opens the door.
"Rikki, dear, what are you doing here?"
"I invited you to go to that seminar."
"Oh sorry, Rikki, I totally forget, but I can't go, I have a meeting in an hour."
"Oh, I see."
"Rikki, what's wrong? I can see there is something wrong."
"It's nothing."
"Rikki. You know you can tell me everything."
"It's just that… Why can't I tell Cleo and Emma about all the stuff you told me about being the chosen ones."
"Because they wouldn't understand. They would only get jealous and that would ruin your friendship and you don't want that to happen now, do you?"
"Off course not, but Emma and Cleo are different, they would understand."
"That's just what your grandmother thought, but they didn't. They cut her out and she had to fight everything alone."
"But…"
"No buts Rikki, I only want you to know." Eleanor gets a dangerous look on her face. "I mean, I only want you to be safe Rikki, I don't want them to leave you alone to face everything alone."
"Alright then."
Rikki makes a way towards the exit.
"Rikki, I love you, you know that, right?"
Rikki looks back around and sees that Eleanor has her arms wide open. She walks into the hug.
"Yeah, I know."
-h2o-
The competition has started, but Cleo is already back at the juice net café together with Lewis, who is soaking wet.
"It could happen to anybody. I trip over all the time. Everyone has accidents."
"That was no accident." He throws down his towel and goes over to Nate. "That was you."
"Yeah, so what are you going to do about it?"
"C'mon Lewis, he is not worth it."
"Whoa, you got your girlfriend looking out for you, hé. Although I must admit, I wouldn't mind one bit."
Nate looks over Lewis' shoulder towards Cleo.
"I don't need any help."
Lewis pulls away from Cleo.
"Yeah sure, counting fish." Nate takes a sudden step forward which makes Lewis startle so he takes a step back. "Amateur."
"Say, why don't we make this contest a little bit more interesting. If I win you will stop treating me like I'm worth less then you."
"And what do I get if I win?"
"Name your price."
Nate looks once again at Cleo.
"If I win, I will take your pretty lady on a date."
"No way."
"No, Lewis, it's a deal."
"Cleo, you can't be serious."
"Lewis, I have total confidence in you, alright. Nate, you got yourself a deal."
Cleo pulls out her hand. Nate bends down and gives a kiss on it.
"I'm looking forward to it."
"Don't, you'll only get more disappointed when it doesn't happen."
Nate smiles and takes off. Lewis turns Cleo towards him.
"Why did you do that?"
"I have total confidence in you Lewis, you just need a little push."
"Do you really believe in me?"
"Off course I do."
They give a kiss.
"I have totally not an idea what I would do without you. But there is one fatal flaw in your plan, I don't have a rod."
"Well, I have one lying at home. Dad bought it me last year. He says it's the best on the market."
"Then it really suits you."
He gives her a small kiss on her nose and takes her hand to walk away.
-h2o-
Rikki is down at a seminar when she sees Zane coming up to here.
"Rikki? What are you doing here?"
"What are you doing here?"
"I asked you first."
"I asked you first, how old are you? Ten?"
"I'm helping my dad with his investment seminar. He is one of the speakers."
"I noticed."
"He begged me to come along to play the dutiful son. It's totally boring, but I hadn't anything else to do."
"You're right there."
Rikki makes a movement to leave but Zane stops her.
"Lunch is that way."
"I'm not that hungry, so I'm going to go home."
Zane's dad appears.
"Didn't see you inside Zane? You missed an opportunity, you could have learned something."
"Yeah yeah, I'm sure."
"Why don't you make yourself useful and go up to the suite to get my notes?"
"I'm talking to someone."
"There on the table as you go in."
He leaves, ignoring Rikki.
"He's a stress-head."
"Why can't you dad go up and get his own notes?"
"Because he is important and I'm not."
"Fair enough. Well I need to eat, so bye."
"Hey, I know where there is some food. Heaps of it up in the suite."
"No that's okay."
"The fridge is full and if he misses anything, it's good to take him off."
-h2o-
Lewis is back at the pier with Cleo when suddenly Nate catches a big one.
"Look and learn boys, look and learn."
"One pond, seven kilos. You are in the lead."
"Hey Lewis, you might as well pack up that little rod of yours mate."
"Oh wait, I got a bite."
Lewis pulls it up and reveals a very small fish.
"Boy, it's huge, careful, it may take your hand off."
"Hey if you're not going to weigh that, can I use it then for bite?"
Nate turns to Cleo and makes a kissing sound towards her. She makes up her mind and leaves.
-h2o-
Back in the hotel, Rikki is enjoying the food.
"The hotel gives my dad this room whenever he holds a seminar. It's kinda impressive, if you go for that stuff."
"I don't."
Rikki opens the window and gets out on the balcony.
"You can see the mountains from her. You've seen this?"
Zane is still in the door opening.
"Yeah, nice."
"Are you even looking?"
Rikki turns back around. Zane sees her backing away again and decides to go up to her. As soon as he leaves the doorpost, the door closes. Zane turns back around when he hears the sound of the door. He tries it, but it wouldn't budge.
"No way. It's locked."
-h2o-
Cleo is at the beach, ready to go into the water when she sees two guys pulling a kid out of a truck and into a warehouse. She runs over to it while getting her cell out.
-h2o-
Emma decided to give Lewis also a visit.
"Hey, how is it going?"
"Good. Off course it would be better if I actually could catch a decent fish."
"So where is Cleo?"
"I guess she went home."
"That doesn't sound like her."
Suddenly Emma's phone goes off. She picks it up.
"Hey Cleo, Lewis and I were just talking about you… alright slow down, what happened?... I'm on my way. Don't do anything."
-h2o-
Cleo is outside the warehouse, trying to watch inside trough a window. She sees the two guys leaving the boy alone in a room. Emma runs up to her.
"Hey, I'm here. I tried to reach Rikki, but she didn't pick up."
"I know, I tried her too."
"I guess she is with her mom, like all the time the last three days."
"Cleo, focus."
"Alright, what's the plan?"
"When the boy is alone, we try to sneak him out, without the two guys seeing us."
"Well that would be now."
"Alright then."
Emma makes her way towards the entrance, followed by Cleo. They enter and find the boy blindfolded on the floor. Emma takes the blindfold off and begins to undo his bindings.
"Don't worry, we're here to save you. Cleo, stay on guard."
Emma says it over her shoulder so she doesn't notice that one of the guys already has a hold on Cleo.
"Too late. Now turn around slowly."
Emma gets up slowly and turns around. She sees the guy holding a gun towards Cleo's side.
"You really don't want to mess with us, believe me."
"Oh no, what are you going to do?"
"This."
Emma holds out her and freezes the hand he is holding his gun with. The man lets go of Cleo and the gun as he cries out in pain. Emma smiles, not hearing Cleo's watch out.
-h2o-
Rikki is on the roof with Zane.
"C'mon Zane, someone will find us, don't worry."
"It's not that…" He looses up his tie and takes a step back towards the door. "It's…"
"Wait, are you afraid off heights?"
"No off course not."
"Well come on then."
Rikki holds out her hand, but he doesn't take it. He lets his head fall down.
"Alright, yes I am. Go on, you can laugh."
"Why would I do that?" She steps closer to Zane. She takes his chin in her hand and makes him look up. "Everyone is afraid of something. I laugh at people who say that they are not afraid of anything."
"Alright then, what are you afraid of then?"
"I'm claustrophobic. The elevator we took to get up to this floor, really gave me chills."
"Oh, well there is not much to do about it then?"
"I do know how to release the fear a little. Come on." She takes his hand and steps forward, but he doesn't follow. "Come on, trust me." They stop on the side of the balcony. "Alright, I want you to picture something that makes you relax. Can you do that?"
"Yeah, I think I can."
"Now, don't you just feel the fear releasing his hold on you?"
"Yeah, I do." He looks down into Rikki's eyes, making her uncomfortable. He bends down to kiss her, but she steps away. He looks up in frustration. "It looks like it's going to start to rain."
"What?"
Rikki runs down under the shield. As soon as Zane gets under it, it starts pouring.
"Right in time."
"You look cold, here."
He takes off his jacket and puts it on Rikki. But instead of letting go off the jacket he pulls her closer towards him. "Zane, don't." She tries to let go but he puts his arm around her and pulls her closer to him. He pulls her into a kiss. Rikki struggles and gets free. She slaps him in the face. "I said no, Zane." He goes towards her and she steps back until her back is against the wall.
"Why not?"
"Because…" She tries to get away, but he puts his arms against the wall, making it impossible for her to leave. "Because…" She looks up at him and kisses him hard on the lips. They are soon strangled into a passionate kiss.
-h2o-
Emma is sitting blindfolded, with her hands tight to her back. Someone pulls the blindfold of and she notices she is sitting next to Cleo and the boy. The guy who pulled of her blindfold is holding a controller, but in his left hand, as his right hand is still frozen. "Alright, I don't know how you did that. And I sure as hell don't know what your guys are. But if you pull again a stunt like that." He shows her his hand. "I'm going to press this button which is connected to that bomb." He points next to her and she notices a bomb strapped around the boy's waist. The guy leaves.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah."
"I'm Emma and she is Cleo."
"I'm Max. Are you guys witches too?"
"No, why? Are you?"
"Yes, I've got a power, that's why they took me away from my dad. they want me to break into a bank for them."
"Can you do that?"
"I guess, I can make things move without seeing them, I can make them do my will. What are you guys then if you're not witches."
"We're mermaids."
"Mermaids don't exist."
"And witches do?"
"So do mermaids have powers too?"
"Yes, you've already seen mine. I can freeze water."
"But his hand is not made of water."
"The human body mainly consists of water."
"Can you freeze too?"
"No I can't, but I can manipulate water. Make it take any form I want."
"Oh yeah, and the coolest part, we grow tails too."
-h2o-
Emma, Max and Cleo are taken into a van. They drive off to a bank, it's closed already. "Alright kiddo, let's see what you're worth. Take down the alarms in there." Max closes his eyes and starts rocking back and forth.
"Alright, they are off."
"Okay, you three come with us. Mickey, it probably won't be long before the guards come and check what's wrong, so we got to get a move on."
-h2o-
Rikki and Zane are still kissing each other passionately. Zane breaks away from it and starts kissing her cheeks and her neck which gives Rikki a look behind Zane's back, where a man is standing in the pouring rain. She pushes Zane off her.
"Rikki, this is getting ridiculous."
"Zane, behind you."
Zane looks around and also sees the guy. Suddenly there come out a swarm of red little beasties out of the man. They go for Zane and start attacking him.
"Zane!"
"Help!"
Rikki turns towards the guy.
"Let him go."
"Don't worry, you'll be the next one."
"Oh no I won't. I've got to tell you, not a smart idea to attack in the pouring rain."
"Oh, yeah, do you really believe that I'm that stupid?"
A few of the red beasties turn their attention on Rikki and start attacking her hands, making it impossible for her to use her powers.
"Rikki, help me, please."
She looks sideways and sees Zane squirming on the ground. She's getting pumped with rage, seeing the man she loves hurt, without being able to do something about it. She lets out a scream and looks angrily towards the man. He backs away from her stare. Suddenly he starts to smoke and soon he explodes into pieces. Together with him, the red beasties, disappear. Rikki looks down at her hand, noticing the wounds on her hands are gone. She looks down and sees Zane coming up, his wounds are gone too.
"Alright, what just happened?"
-h2o-
The two guys are in front of the safe, Max just opened. They are putting their backs full of money.
"Hey, what are you doing there?"
A guard is coming towards them.
"Alright princess, your time to shine. Freeze him, like you did with me."
"You know what, good plan."
Emma turns around and freezes his other hand too, making it unable for him to use the controller. Cleo goes over and takes the controller out of his before he has the chance to drop it.
"Cleo, his bottle."
Cleo also notices his bottle of water and makes a huge ball of water and throws it the two guys making them fall backwards into the safe.
"Max!"
Max uses his powers and closes the safe. They start running and make it out before the guard catches them. When they are on a safe distant, Emma turns towards Max.
"Alright, Max, I'm going to ask you something really difficult. I want you to make the bomb around your waist harmless."
Max nods and starts rocking again. A minute later, the bomb falls to the ground.
"Good work."
"Thanks."
-h2o-
"Zane, are you alright?"
"Yes, I mean no, what was that?"
"What was what?"
"That man, there came red beasties out of him and they attacked us and suddenly he went up into flames."
"Zane, are you feeling alright. You must have hit your head when you fall."
"Rikki, you saw it too right?"
"I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about."
Suddenly the door opens. Zane's dad looks angry at Zane
"Oh here you are Zane, what are you doing out here?"
"Well I guess this is my cue to leave."
"Rikki wait…"
"See you later Zane."
-h2o-
Emma and Cleo make their way to the juice net café. Nate is there holding a trophy.
"Lewis, what happened?"
"I guess my invention wasn't that good."
"But does this mean…"
Nate comes towards them.
"Cleo, I'll call you about our date, alright?"
"Nate, I didn't mean…"
"No backing out Cleo, a deal is a deal. I'm really looking forward to it."
He winks at her and walks away.
"Lewis, how could you possibly loose?" Lewis looks guilty towards her, so she takes his head between her hands and kisses him on the nose. "Luckily it's only one date."
-h2o-
Rikki is sitting in her mom's room. "I didn't know what happened but my powers worked without using my hands."
"Well Rikki, I haven't heard much of that happening, you must be really special."
"You think so?"
"I know so. But I do think you should stay away from this boy. He doesn't sound right to you Rikki."
"You already told me that, but I just don't know why."
"Just trust me, a mother's instinct is always right."
"I guess so."
Eleanor takes Rikki in her arms and hugs her tightly.
"Just trust me, I only have the best intentions for you."
