Chapter 46.
(Zac POV)
When Mimmi and I woke up we went and got dressed before meeting Rikki outside as we went to meet up with Cleo. Since we were heading to Emma's house.
As we headed in.
"Welcome to my Gothic world," Rikki said.
"Ha," I said.
"That's not funny," Emma said. "It's my dad's Birthday, It's an important night,"
"I can't believe you organized this whole thing by yourself," Rikki said. "It's very efficient,"
"Have I told you about the seafood," Emma said. As Mine and Mimmi eyes light up.
"Only 25 times," Cleo said.
"Tell your dad it needs to be fresh and it has to be his best stuff," Emma said.
"Hope he has some left overs," Mimmi said.
"We need to have it here by 7.45, Better write that down," Emma said.
"You seem a bit tense," Rikki said.
"I'm not tense," Emma said.
"You're grinding your teeth," Rikki said.
"It's called a smile Rikki," Emma said.
"So grinding your teeth," Mimmi and I both said.
"Elliot don't just do Yellow and Black, Get some other colours," Emma said.
"All right, Gee," Elliot said.
"If you want something done right you've got to do it yourself," Emma said. "The Night's itinerary. Ok, We'll do meet and greet for 8.00 until 8.40, Dad arrives at 8.50,"
"And what if he doesn't," Cleo said.
"It's squash night, Regular as clockwork," Emma said. "We'll have surprise and congratulation until 9Pm. And Refreshments whilst Elliot play Oboe until 9.10, At 9.40 the seafood will be served,"
"You've got a gap between 9.10 and 9.40," Rikki said.
"That's when I read my speech," Emma said. "I've timed it at 26 minutes and 45 seconds, Approximately, leaving a little over 3 minutes for applause and congratulations,"
"Sounds more like a Battle plan than a party," Rikki said.
"I need to test out my speech," Emma said. After she went on.
But just as she finished.
"That's beautiful," Cleo said.
"Needs some editing," Rikki said.

Mimmi and I just got to the park as did Rikki and Emma as we went into see Cleo.
"Hi Cleo," Emma said.
"Did you see that," Cleo said. "That old woman, She was standing just there,"
"What old woman," Rikki said.
"She knows about us," Cleo said. "She said something about the Full moon being dangerous,"
"I didn't see anyone," Emma said.
"Me neither," Rikki said.
She told me not to talk to sea perch and something about reflections and beware the full moon," Cleo said.
"Sounds likes she's had a bit too much sun," Rikki said.
"There's something different about her," Cleo said.
"But how did she know," Mimmi said.
"What you mean Zac," Cleo said.
"There's a full moon tonight," Mimmi said.
"Meaning," Rikki said.
"Something going to happen to your 3 unless we can find a way to help you control it. If you don't control it. Then Trust me when I say you don't want to remember what happened," I said.
"That's different, But Not as different as these," Emma said. "Gorgeous aren't they,"
"Hey Em," Byron said.
"Oh Hey Byron," Emma said.
"What's all this about," Rikki said.
"Don't be stupid," Emma said. "There's nothing going on, Byron, Forget it,"

Mimmi and I went for a swim and got to the Moon pool. As we surfaced.
"Emma isn't believing us," Mimmi said.
"We just going to have to keep a serious eye on them," I said.
"Yeah," Mimmi said. "How you feeling,"
"Fine," I said.
"You sure," Mimmi said. "I mean, We kinda of been like this since we've got here,"
"I'm fine, Let's just hope we can get home sometime soon," I said.
"It's started to get dark, we should go and Get ready to go," Mimmi said.
"Let's go," I said.
"Yeah," Mimmi said with a grin I knew that she was planning something.
"What are you planning," I said.
"Well, you know since we are like this and there is a party," Mimmi said.
"No," I said.
"Hey, you trust me don't you," Mimmi said.
"Yes," I said.
"Then you're going to be fine, Come on," Mimmi said she went under and I followed after her.

As were on the way to Emma's after Mimmi finally convinced me to put this on me. Like I know I'm in her body still but really.
"Calm down, you're going to be fine," Mimmi said.
"Yeah, Right," I said.
"Hey, we stick together remember," Mimmi said.
"But we have to watch them as well," I said.
"And we will," Mimmi said. "Come on," As she pulled me against her. As well headed.
As we got there and Found Rikki and Cleo.
"I can't stop thinking about what that old woman said, Beware the full moon," Cleo said.
"We're mermaids, Not werewolves," Rikki whispered.
As Emma went some where as Mimmi and I was near the door. But then Something came.
"Oh No, Zac," I said.
"I know," Mimmi said.
"We got to find them now," I said.
As we found Emma and Cleo outside.
"Have you noticed how weird people look, Their legs just don't look right," Emma said.
"You need to sit down," Cleo said.
"Cleo, Please she didn't look at the moon," I said.
"I don't know, Emma just started acting weird," Cleo said.
"Now take fish, They're sensibly designed," Emma said.
"Can I get you anything," Cleo said.
"I'd love a cheese sandwich on rye bread with Sardines," Emma said. "Actually forget the cheese and the bread, Just bring the sardines,"
"Oh no," Mimmi said.
"Zac," Cleo said.
"She's looked at it," I said.
"Meaning," Cleo said
"Why else do you think that Emma here is acting weird, even speaking like that," Mimmi said.
"She's under the Moon spell," I said. "Find Rikki and keep her away from the windows,"
As Cleo went in.
"Where's Emma," Mimmi said.
"Oh no," I said. As we went the only way we weren't looking and found her jumping in. "Emma No,"
But it was took late as Emma jumped in.
As Then Rikki and Cleo showed up.
"Where's Emma," Cleo said.
"She sneaked off while we wasn't looking and she jump in," Mimmi said.
"She hasn't came up yet," I said.
"I've been looking everywhere for you guys," Lewis said. "have you seen Emma,"
"Not since she jumped in. And Rikki Cleo get back inside and keep away from the windows," I said.
"Why," Rikki said.
"Emma's under the Moon spell. Which need you will be too if your out here when the Moon shows up again," I said.
"What about you too," Cleo said.
"We learned how to control it, but it takes more than one full moon," Mimmi said.
"We found these," Cleo said.
"Are they Emma's," Lewis said.
"Yes," I said. As it came back out.
"What's wrong with them," Lewis said.
"It's the Full moon," I said.
"Crap," Mimmi said.
Then it went away.
As Lewis went to hard Rikki as She stopped it.
"That would be a big mistake," Rikki said.
"I'm terribly sorry but you guys just went extremely weird," Lewis said. "When that moon came out,"
"This is what the Old woman meant," Cleo said.
"It's the moon Spell, You 2 haven't managed to find a way of it no controlling you," I said.
"That first night at the Moon pool at Mako Island was a full moon as well," Rikki said.
"It's where everything comes from our powers," I said.
"To our tails," Mimmi said.
"You guys have got to come in, Mako Island is amazing at night," Emma said. "You've never seen anything like it,"
"Lewis, Pull her out, now," Rikki said.
"Me," Lewis said. "Why does it have to be me,"
"Cause we're grow tails the second we touch water," I said.
"Come to Mako Island with me," Emma said. "It's the most wonderful place, It's like an underwater wonderland, We could all live down there forever,"
"One is bad enough we don't need another 2 added to that," I said.
"Emma of course we'll come with you, You just take my hand and you can show me the way," Lewis said. but he get's pulled in.
We finally got Emma out as Rikki was trying to dry her.
"Nothing's happening, Her tail should be gone by now," Rikki said. "It's dry but it's still there, Why isn't it working,"
"It's the Moon, It's stopping it," I said.
"I like my tail just the way it is," Emma said. "I think it's perfect,"
"Is that you Emma," Someone said.
As Mimmi got Emma's mouth.
"No Just us, Cleo and Rikki getting some air," Cleo said.
"I'm looking for Emma," She said. "Her Father's here,"
"Just watch out for bats," Cleo said
"Bats," She said.
"There's a lot out tonight, Swarms of Bats, There's thousands of them actually," Rikki said.
"Hi Althea, Do you want to come to Mako Island with me," Emma said.
"Hey," Lewis said. "Emma's not exactly herself tonight,"
"What are Neil and Lisa doing with that child," Althea said.
"Phew, That was close," Cleo said.
"We need to do something before everyone else starts looking for her," Rikki said.
"OK it's 9.08, According to the schedule Elliot plays oboe until 9.10 which means we have 2 minutes," Cleo said.
"What can we do in 2 minutes," I said.
"I need to eat something now," Emma said. "So Starving, I need food,
"Sardines," Cleo said.
After that settle her down we got her into the jacuzzi.
"Don't make any noise," Rikki said. "Just stay here,"
"Guys I can't go in there looking like this," Lewis said.
"That's all right," Rikki said. "How do you feel about being steam dried,"
As they went in.
But eventually we had to move her to the cafe.
As Mimmi and I fell asleep.
In the morning.
"Did you sleep," Cleo said.
"No," Rikki said.
"Me neither," Cleo said.
"Got some sleep," Mimmi said.
"With the Full moon gone it's easier," I said.
"What if she's stuck like this forever," Cleo said. "What if her tail never goes away,"
"There's always the circus," Lewis said.
"Lewis," Mimmi said.
"The Moon should almost be gone by now, She should be back to normal by then," I said.
"We should get some more sleep," Mimmi said.
As I cuddled up with Mimmi as we fell asleep.
After a bit. I heard Emma get up.
"I had the best sleep," Emma said. "What am I doing here, Guys, What happened,"
"It's a long story," Rikki said.
"You sure you want to know," Mimmi said.
"If I were you don't," I said.
Then Emma left and went home. As Mimmi and I went back to and Mimmi helped me get out of this dress as I went and got some shorts on and a Top on me.
"That's better," I said.
"Thought you would be used to it, since," Mimmi said.
"Don't Just don't," I said. "We seriously need to help them find a way to control it,"
"But they didn't get like you did with this started," Mimmi said.
"Different Reality, Different Method, Great, Next time, we are just going have to keep them out of the moon light no matter what," I said.
That's all for this Chapter.
