Chapter 49.
(Zac POV)
We were at the Cafe.
"Hi Byron," Emma said.
"I was thinking about talking to ya, but maybe not right now," Bryon said.
"It's ok, We won't listen," Cleo said.
"Next week is the school, swimming sports, and I really want to beat Zane in the 100 metres," Bryon said. "But he always beats me,"
"It's ok to come second," Emma said.
"Or 3rd or 4th, Yeah but, I can't explain it, I've developed this need to win," Bryon said.
"I know the feeling," Emma said. "Or At least used to,"
"You were the swimming star until you quit, Which by the way is quite a mystery to me, You're like this quality skateboard that's just sitting in the cup board," Bryon said.
"I've always thought of her the same way," Rikki said. "Sorry, Not listening,"
"I need you to teach me how to beat Zane," Bryon said. "Gimme that killer Instinct, But temporarily, I don't want to be hooked on winning on a permanent basis, So will you help me,"
"Sorry Bryon. I'm not into that whole competitive thing anymore, It was a former life, I can't," Emma said.
"It's cool," Bryon said. "I understand," As he headed off.
"You did the right thing," Rikki said.
"We can't risk swimming pools," Cleo said.
As Emma left.
"I've been looking everywhere for you guys, I need a hair sample," Lewis said.
"Nope," I said. As I headed off as Mimmi followed me. Then Not to long later Rikki and Cleo.
"How dare Lewis expect pieces of us," Rikki said. "Him and his little experiments are really starting to bug me,"
"He's just trying to help," Cleo said.
"Yeah well he can forget using Mimmi and I," Mimmi said.
"Zac's right, Me and him were born this way, It's who we are," I said.
"More like he likes annoying us," Rikki said.
"You're angry," Cleo said.
"He'd be angry too if he was a guinea pig," Rikki said.
"I don't know, I've known Lewis since I was 5 and I've never seen him get angry," Cleo said.
"Yeah," Rikki said. "Well we'll see about that,"

It was the next day.
As Mimmi and I headed for the Moon Pool. As we surfaced.
"That feels so much better," Mimmi said.
"Yeah, Any luck," I said.
"Nothing, There is no sign of any way we can get back home," Mimmi said.
"Why are we here then, I mean everything what happened has to happen for a reason right," I said.
"Yeah," Mimmi said.
"So what is the reason for us being here," I said.
"No idea," Mimmi said.
"I starting to really miss them," I said.
"Just now or everyone else than just Mel," Mimmi said.
"Second one," I said.
"Knew it," Mimmi said.
"Just like you miss Serena and Ondina," I said.
"Ok fine you got me on that too," Mimmi said.

We were at school when we meet up with Rikki, Cleo and Emma.
"Am I too tough or too demanding," Emma said. "Am I a heavy Training Dragon,"
"No way," Cleo said. "no possible, Although at times you can be a little bossy,"
"And Sometimes you don't really listen to people," Rikki said.
As Emma walked off.
"She's takes criticism well," I said.
"Boy have I made a startling discovery," Lewis said.
"You're an android," Rikki said.
"He wishes he was," I said.
"No," Lewis said. "Far better than that, According to the hair sample you gave me, you are a 7 year old German shepherd,"
"I was wondering how long It'd take you to figure out that wasn't my hair," Rikki said.
"About 14 hours actually," Lewis said. "Rikki what are you up to, Are you scared to find out the truth of about being a mermaid," He whispered.
"Lewis how many times have I said, It's magic, Not Science," I said.
As he walked off.
"There has got to be a way to make him crack," Rikki said.
"Rikki that was mean, Considering all that time Lewis wasted," Cleo said.
"Cleo, How many times do I have to really say it. It's magic, Nothing more, Nothing less, It works in mysteries way, We just have to figure out why and what for," I said.
"I'm sorry," Emma said.
"It's Ok," Rikki said.
"I may seem tough but, I'm easily hurt," Emma said. "I'm gonna make sure I'm nice from now on, How do I do that,"
"You're asking the wrong person here," Rikki said.

Eventually, Mimmi and I found out that Bryon Beat Zane. After using a decoy tactic on Zane, Which even fooled Emma as Well as Zane.
