Zac, Evie, Cam, Carly, and David all entered their science class with Mrs. Trumble well before class began. They talked for a couple minutes before the bell rang, and when it did, they took their seats. Evie and Zac sat front and center of the classroom with Carly to their right, alone since Erik had left, and Cam and David behind her.
"Okay class," Mrs. Trumble began, walking to the front of the classroom. "Today we're going to be doing another experiment with a chemical reaction," she explained. "Watch what I do carefully and take notes as you will be doing this later." She stopped explaining what she was doing to put her safety goggles on. "Now this isn't going to be something with adverse side effects to your skin or eyes, but you need to be careful none the less." Mrs. Trumble picked up a vile and added it to the solution, explaining what she was doing as she went.
As Mrs. Trumble talked, Evie took down careful notes so she'd know what she was doing later. When Evie caught up to the point Mrs. Trumble had explained to, she looked up to see what her teacher was going to do next. Mrs. Trumble added the next ingredient into the solution and Evie was about to write it down when a weird reaction took place, sending the contents of the beaker up into the air. Some of it splashed onto Mrs. Trumble, the rest went right towards Zac and Evie.
When the mixture rained down on Zac and Evie, they shared a look of terror. A shocked look also spread between their three friends who knew their secret.
"As per school policy, I need you two to get into the chemical shower," Mrs. Trumble spoke, seeing that some of the solution had landed on Zac and Evie.
The two were already getting up from their seats, but for a completely different reason. Zac and Evie ran out of the classroom. "Where do you think you're going?" Mrs. Trumble called after them. "Someone go get them."
"I'll go," Cam offered.
"Me too," Carly added.
"Me three," David spoke.
They were already halfway out the door before Mrs. Trumble spoke to them. "All three of you?"
"We're their best mates," Cam said. "If anyone can convince them to get back to class, it's us."
"But all three of you?" Why not just one or two of you?"
"If Zac puts up any sort of resistance, it's going to take both Dave and I to get him back here," Cam said, dashing out of the room with David and Carly before any more questions could be asked of them.
Mrs. Trumble sighed and began to instruct other students on what to do to clean up the spill.
"Zac, Evie," Carly called as she, Cam, and David walked around the halls of the school looking for their mermaid and merman best friends.
"Where could they have gone?" David asked rhetorically.
"Dunno," Cam said. "They're the only ones who knew where Mimmi and Rita went when they got splashed so that doesn't help us."
"Should we maybe get Rita– Principal Santos?" Carly asked as they continued walking and trying to find where Zac and Evie had gone.
"Guys," called a voice in sort of a whisper from somewhere to their right.
"Evie?" Carly asked.
"We're here," Zac said, letting the invisibility he had covering both him and Evie flicker so their friends would know where they were.
Carly, Cam, and David made their way over to Zac and Evie, looking around to make sure there wasn't anyone else in sight. They looked around the area where they were to see if there was any place that could hide Zac and Evie better so they could dry off and change back.
"We're going to have to move them, otherwise someone is going to end up seeing them," Cam said.
"Okay, who do we move first?" Carly asked.
"Evie and I can't be moved away from each other," Zac started.
"I haven't been able to use invisibility at all so Zac has his invisibility covering both of us," Evie explained.
"Maybe the three of us could move you at the same time," David suggested.
"Easier said than done," Zac spoke. "We zapped Rita with a moon ring and it took me, Cam, Lyla, and Sirena to move her."
"Rita!" Carly exclaimed. "Maybe she can help us. I'll go find her, you two keep anyone from seeing them." Carly raced off in the direction of their principal's office. While Carly did that, Cam and David began trying to figure out what their plan of action should be. As she raced through the halls, Carly looked around for Rita in case she wasn't in her office.
Carly happened to come upon Rita on her way back to her office. "Rita– I mean Principal Santos."
"Yes?" Rita asked, turning to Carly.
"We have a problem."
The moment the words left Carly's mouth, Rita's face fell. "I'm guessing it has to do with Zac and or Evie?" Rita speculated.
Carly nodded.
"We better go then," Rita said, following behind Carly. A couple minutes later, they had made it to the spot where Cam and David were with Zac and Evie.
"Principal Santos," David said as his principal and Carly approached. "What do we do? We can't move them separately."
"We're going to have to try and move them together with two of us carrying each of them. Zac's not going to be able to hold the invisibility for much longer so we're going to have to act quickly."
Cam, Carly, and David followed their principal's instructions and moved quickly trying to figure out how best to move Zac and Evie at the same time. By some miracle, they managed. The four were able to get Zac and Evie out of sight behind some bushes that shielded them from windows of classrooms and walkways right as Zac's invisibility flickered and died. With the time that Zac and Evie had spent in open air, they transformed back quickly with their powers and a little help from Rita. They stood right as they saw Mrs. Trumble approaching.
"There you lot are. What's taking you so long to return to my class? Principal Santos." Mrs. Trumble stopped suddenly, seeing Rita. "What are you doing here?"
"I was just on my way back to my office from a meeting when I ran into them."
"Well they have been gone from my class for 15 minutes and I need to take them back to class."
"I'll take them back to my office where we can talk about why they were gone from class for so long," Rita spoke.
"Well all right then," Mrs. Trumble agreed, eyeing Rita suspiciously for a minute before turning to go back to her classroom.
"Come along then," Rita said to the group, starting off back towards her office.
A minute later, Rita opened the door for her office and let her five students in. "So, she began. "It seems that science classes are becoming quite dangerous."
"Tell us about it," Zac said. "First you and Mimmi now Evie and I."
"There's not much more we can do to prevent things like this from happening," Rita spoke. "I'll clear everything for you with Mrs. Trumble but you should get back to class."
"All right. See you later, Rita."
"Goodbye," Rita spoke as they headed out of her office and back to class. They explained to Mrs. Trumble when they got back to class that they had talked everything over with Principal Santos and taken care of it all with her.
They were in the clear.
A/N: There was my subtle, not so subtle Taylor Swift reference at the end of that. Fitting since the Out Of The Woods music video came out recently and I wrote this way back in July.
So I have an alternate ending to this which will be the next thing I post in probably just a couple minutes. The beginning is basically going to be the same with a few changes and I'll have something to show where the changes begin.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, what I could do better and what you liked, constructive criticism is always welcome. Thanks
