A/N: Well, here's the next chapter, Planning Revenge. Thank-you to meg, for reviewing! Please read and review!

Bella wanted to scream, she just realized that she had left her shoes at the moon pool. Stupid Emma, this is all her fault! The other three girls had just departed, and Bella was heading home, too when she realized that she was only wearing socks. She angrily marched over to Will's shack; she needed to see someone whom she wasn't infuriated with. The mermaid arrived at his little house, and threw open the door, she immediately saw Will standing in the middle of the room looking at a shell.

"Hi," Bella greeted him with a sharp tone, making Will almost drop his shell. "Did you know that Cleo and Rikki know another mermaid?"

"No, but that's cool, now you have a new friend that you can relate to. A new member of the mermaid club." He mumbled, sort of ignoring her.

"No, Will, you don't get it. Cleo and Rikki used me as a replacement for when she was gone! I'm gonna get revenge on the girls, and their little mermaid friend, and I want your help." Bella rambled, in a loud voice. Will scratched his head, as if it was difficult to comprehend.

"I don't know, it seems kinda mean." Will explained slowly, not wanting to make any decisions that would burn bridges between his friends and himself.

"Please Will, for me?" Bella pleaded, her lip trembling.

"But why do you want to do this? Cleo and Rikki are your best friends!"

"They used me Will. They never cared about me, they saw me as their old friend, Emma!" She spat. Will sighed, and began to nod his head.

"All right; I'll help you. What do you want me to do?" Will asked her, running his hand through his blond hair.

"First, we have to get them on my side, then we separate Emma from them, and finally we take away her powers." She instructed the diver.

"Gee, we're stripping her of being a mermaid? That sounds a little harsh! And for what, befriending them first?" Will interrogated, his eyes wide. Will had only expected a little prank, like something to embarrass the girl, not take away her joy.

"Well, that's not the important thing. I just want my friends to like me again!"

"I get it. Jjust remember; you'll always have me to support you." Will told her, then pecked her cheek. Bella playfully rolled her eyes, and began to leave the room.

"Okay, we can start this tomorrow. Call me." The mermaid said from the doorway.

"Bye, Bella!" Will waved his left hand a little. Bella grinned to herself; she already knew how to get on the duo on her side, all she would need is Will's cooperation; she would make Emma look like a snobby, un-trustworthy friend. Then, Bella realized that she was still missing her shoes. Are you kidding me? So, the blonde dived into the nearby water, and felt the transformation; a bubbly, fuzzy feeling coursing through her legs. She flicked her tail, still slightly angry, and headed towards Mako Island.

Bella observed the breathtaking rainbow of fish and coral briefly, as she continued swimming through the water, swishing her orange tail. Personally, she loved the feeling of barely needing to breathe; it was as if her lungs were filled to the brim with oxygen, and didn't need anymore. The salty taste of the clear water entered her mouth, as she grinned. She was better than Emma; she, after all was a mermaid longer, and was more experienced. The mermaid was so absorbed in her thoughts that she almost didn't notice the fact that she was at the moon pool. She yanked herself out of the water and onto the dirty sand, and immediately spotted her forgotten shoes. She was about to stick it on her foot, when she realized she just had a tail. She growled, and laid in the sand; this was going to take forever!

Bella laid there, infuriated, and after a few minutes she noticed a shimmering blob in the nearby pool. Don't be Emma, don't be Emma! Karma played against Bella as Emma emerged from the water. Bella scowled softly looking directly at the mermaid in the water.

"Hello, Bella." She greeted with forced sweetness.

"Hi. What are you doing here?" The mermaid replied.

"Well, this is the place I became a mermaid. Isn't it? Now, what are you doing here?" The swimmer spoke through clenched teeth.

"I was getting the shoes that I left after our little 'play fight' and now I'm waiting for my legs to come back. Okay?" When she finished, Emma chuckled.

"Why haven't you turned the water to jelly yet?" She asked, bemused.

"Wh-what do you mean?"

"Then you could get rid of the water, duh!" Bella's eyes shone with realization at this point.

"I-uh-" She started, only to be interrupted by the other girl.

"Wow, you've been a mermaid for what, nine years, and you still haven't thought of that?" Emma teased. Wait, how does she know how long I've been a mermaid? Bella grumbled something which sounded like 'go away'. So, Emma mocked her with intention to damage Bella's self esteem, "What are you gonna do about it?"

"I'll-I'll make you into a statue if you don't get out of here!" She threatened.

"I'd like to see you try that as an ice cube!"

"Try it!"

"I will! And I've frozen someone before, ask Rikki and Cleo!" Bella's cockiness dropped, she doubted she could even turn a person to stone. Maybe their blood, but that's disgusting, plus, she doubted Emma was bluffing. She also didn't want to kill the girl; just to get her out of her life. So, she turned the water on her tail to jelly and felt herself turn back to human. Wiping the substance off of her, she grabbed the shoes, shoved them on her feet, and dived into the water. Emma grinned; she had won their first battle, without even using her powers.

I'll get you Emma, you'll see; you may have won this time, but it will be your last victory. She giggled madly underwater, the bubbles pouring out of her mouth to the surface of the water. Unfortunately, what she didn't realize was that Emma was planning revenge, too.

A/N: In the next chapter we will find out what Bella and Emma's plans are. Try to guess! ^-^ And please review! :)
