Cindie was in the mall, trying to find a perfect bikini top that would match with her mermaid tail. Not that she knows that it wouldn't work anyway. She found a perfect one, but Cassandra took it right in front of her! And it was the last one they had in stock! This made Cindie really upset. She left the mall without buying anything.
The upset blonde went for a swim and saw Charlotte. Together they swam for a while, until they were being 'chased' by a dolphin. Scared out of their mind the two newly turned mermaids swam for their lives.
-JuiceNet Cafe-
"Dolphins don't chase people." Cleo said as the seven mermaids sat in the cafe. They had just listened to what had kept Charlotte and Cindie from coming earlier. "Especially not mermaids."
"Well this one did." Charlotte whimpered, she was scared of dolphins.
"Charlotte?" Samantha asked getting the redhead's attention. "Are you afraid of dolphins?" She asked kindly.
Blushing in shame Charlotte nodded, but Bella and Samantha placed their hands on her shoulders.
"We'll help you." They said together.
Cindie sneered and stood up. "I'm not afraid some stupid fish." She left the cafe with her nose in the air.
Cleo, Emma and Rikki sighed and went after the fuming fake mermaid.
Samantha smiled and stood up giving her hand to Charlotte. "In the mean time we are going to work on your fear Charlotte. Let's go to the Marine Park. I know a perfect dolphin for the job. We can also help you work on how to be a mermaid."
The trio left JuiceNet smiling and laughing as they made their way towards the Marine Park.
-Sertori house-
"Who do they think they are? No one tells me what to do. No one!" Cindie ranted and smashed her bedside lamp against the wall. "I'm no scared some stupid fish! I'm more powerful than those idiots combined!"
This went on for a quite sometime and in the end most of Cindie's room was in pieces. And the worst part was...she didn't even care. Everything looked like a tornado had hit.
-Marine Park-
"Thank you so much Sam! I had so much fun." Charlotte cheered and clapped her hands as they - Samantha, Bella and Charlotte - made their way into the cafeteria.
"Glad I could help." Samantha smiled along with Bella. "I know Cleo is going to be training with Ronnie later today. If you want to you are welcome to stay and watch how they do. You too Bella."
Bella shook her head. "I have a date with Will so I have to pass. Maybe some other time."
Charlotte smiled widely, she couldn't wait to see Ronnie again. If she had known how adorable dolphins really were she would have tried to face her fear long time ago.

Cindie glared down at the gate that blocked her way. She was going to prove to everyone that she wan't afraid some stupid fish. Ignoring the sign that said 'Personnel Only' Cindie opened the gate and walked briskly towards the dolphin tank even though her heart was pounding in her chest like a jackhammer.
"Come on you stupid fish. You are not so tough." The blonde sneered before gasping on shock as Ronnie used his tail and splashed some water on her. Looking around to make sure no one was around Cindie dove in the water.
Ronnie squeaked in delight to see yet another mermaid to come in his tank and play with him. Soon the delight turned into fear as the mermaid used her powers to hurt him! Using a high pitched squeak to show he was scared, Ronnie tried to get away from the scary mermaid.
"Cindie! Stop it!" Cleo yelled. She couldn't believe that Cindie had attacked Ronnie. "What were you thinking? What if someone saw you?" She demanded as Lewis kept watch and Charlotte knelt down to calm down the scared dolphin.
"Poor Ronnie." Charlotte whispered and placed her hand on Ronnie's snout. She didn't notice that her hand glowed a brief moment healing all the internal injuries Cindie had caused. What Charlotte did notice was that she shivered even though it was sunny outside.
"You can't tell me what to do!" Cindie shrieked and stormed out of the Marine Park and towards the mall. She needed to do some much needed shopping.
-Mall-
"Hey! I was going to buy that!" Cindie screeched as Cassandra once again took a piece of clothing she wanted right in front of her nose.
"I got it first so deal with it." Cassandra responded over her shoulder. "Brat."
And for the second time that day Cindie left the mall fuming. She swore that she will get her revenge on Cassandra.
-JuiceNet Cafe-
"Look at the clothes I bought today!" Cassandra twirled around showing of her outfit to her friends. Too bad it was exactly what Cindie had wanted.
Rikki was the one to point out that Cindie looked ready to kill someone. Cleo had told both her and Emma what happened in the Marine Park. She was glad Samantha wasn't there at the moment or there wouldn't be anything left of the blonde menace aka Cindie.
'She'll pay for this.' Cindie snarled and followed Cassandra when she left the cafe. 'Her head resembles a wilted carrot.' Noticing that Cassandra headed to her boat gave Cindie a wicked idea. She dove into the water not actually caring if someone saw her.
Everything was quiet and peaceful until a high pitched scream pierced the air like speeding bullet. Many of the customers went outside to see who was screaming and why.
"Oh no." Emma whispered when the three mermaids saw the water bubbling around Cassandra's little boat.
"Cindie." Cleo saw her step sister using her powers. "She isn't even hiding properly." Her voice was quiet.
"Later guys." Rikki raised her hand and started to use her powers to counter what Cindie was doing.
Nodding in understanding Emma and Cleo did the same. Cindie fought against them, but in the end she lost. No one had any explanations on what could have caused the weird bubbling.
Needless to say is that Cindie was in huge trouble, not only for using her powers carelessly and almost exposing them all, but for also trashing her room. Her mother forbid her weekly allowance for a month to Cindie's horror. She couldn't even go shopping!
