A doorbell echoed through the house that belonged to Rita Santos, principal of Suncoast High. Rita, known as Principal Santos to many, was not the one who answered the door, instead it was a dark haired girl most believed to be her niece, Mimmi.

"Evie, what are you doing here?" Mimmi asked when she opened the door to reveal the other brunette who was coincidentally dating her brother.

"I was looking at some old scrapbooks my mum made with Zac's mum and found some pictures of Zac when he was a baby. I don't know what they were doing at my house yet anymore but I thought you might want to see them."

Mimmi's brow crinkled more as Evie spoke. She knew now what pictures were, unlike when she first got on land, but she had never heard of a scrapbook before. "What exactly is a scrapbook?" she asked.

The look Mimmi received from Evie showed that Evie had forgotten that Mimmi didn't know all there was to know about land yet. Sure, she'd been on land for over a year now but a lot of things were still pretty foreign to her yet. "It's a bunch of pictures put together. Generally it's from the oldest pictures to the newest ones to show the progression of time. These ones in particular I think are right after Mr. and Mrs. Blakely adopted Zac until just after we met."

Mimmi smiled and let Evie in.

After closing the door, the two brunettes went up to the living room and sat down on the leather couch together. Evie put the scrapbooks down on the couch next to her before taking the oldest one and setting in across her and Mimmi's laps. She opened it to the first page with pictures. Under the first picture, handwriting read 'The adoption is official; Zac is ours'. A younger Mr. and Mrs. Blakely stood outside a building smiling while Mr. Blakely held Zac in his arms. The young couple looked immensely happy and the little boy, Zac, had a broad toothy grin on his face.

"I wish I had pictures of me at this age to see how similar Zac and I looked back then, but there's no cameras in the pod."

"Just like there are no mermen in the pod."

"Exactly."

The two continued to look at the pictures for a little while longer before voices were heard coming up from the grotto. "Hey guys," Sirena greeted, walking up behind them. "What'cha doing?"

"Looking at a scrapbook," Mimmi replied.

"What's a scrapbook?" Ondina asked, walking up from the grotto behind Sirena.

"It's a bunch of pictures put together in a book. These ones are of Zac when he was little," Mimmi explained.

"Aww, he's so little," Sirena spoke, looking over Mimmi's shoulder at the pictures.

"We were all that little once," Ondina spoke. She glanced around the room and saw nothing better to do so she joined Sirena behind the couch to look at the pictures. They went through all of the first one including pictures of Zac shoving cake all over his face when the Blakelys first celebrated his birthday.

"Land people sure like to take a lot of pictures," Ondina said about a half hour later once they had finished looking through the first scrapbook.

"We like to document what's going on, the changes we go through, it's our nature. People have been doing it for centuries," Evie explained.

Mimmi took the scrapbook from Evie briefly to look again at the first picture of Zac. She traced her finger over the picture for a few seconds before setting the book aside as Evie took out the next one.

They went through this one slower because it had more pictures of Zac growing up. Eventually they made it to the end where there were pictures of Zac and Evie together in the pool and one of them in their pjs with Cam, Carly, and David from when they were little and all had sleepovers together.

"I wish we had something like this," Mimmi said, turning to Sirena and Ondina when they finished looking through the second and final scrapbook.

"Yeah," Sirena agreed.

"You know," Evie started thoughtfully. "You may not have one from when you were little but there's no reason we can't start one now."

"Really?" Mimmi asked, a sparkle in her eye.

"Sure, why not. There's still a lot of change we can go through, especially if you guys are planning to keep going between land and sea," Evie spoke.

"What's going on in here?" Rita asked, walking through the door.

"We're going to start a scrapbook of all of us," Mimmi explained.

"What a wonderful idea," Rita smiled. "I think I have a camera with some pictures I was going to get made up so you could take your first few pictures. I can get them made up and you can add them to your scrapbook in the next couple of days."

Mimmi liked the idea so Rita went and got her camera. She look several pictures of the girls then used her computer to send them to a store where they would be developed. "They should be ready in a couple day," Rita said after she had finished showing the girls what she was doing.

"All we need to do is go to the craft store and get a scrapbook and decorations for the pages," Evie said.

At the craft store, Sirena, Mimmi, and even Ondina were all amused by all the small trinkets that you could buy. It amused Evie to see them be so amused by such small things, but knowing that hadn't seen them growing meant she just let them enjoy this, especially when you consider than none of them had had to go to a store before.

The next day when Rita returned with the pictures, Evie got to work showing Sirena, Ondina, and Mimmi what to do to make a scrapbook. In the following weeks they took a lot of pictures with an actual camera rather than a phone so they could more easily be made up. They continued to add pictures of all of them and everyone on land who knew for a while. By the time the filled the first scrapbook, they were well on their way to writing their own history.

A/N: Hope everyone liked it. I'm still working through some of the other requests I've gotten along with working on some other stories of mine fanfiction related and otherwise. Anyhow, leave a review to let me know what you liked or didn't like and how I could improve. Thanks again,
