Chapter 4

The girls were at the pool.

-Girls, if you don't get in that pool this time, I'll have to send you to the principals' office!-said the couch.

-Sir, I would like to inform you that the girls were swimming yesterday…-said Timmy as the girls had frightened face expressions-in the pool, and now their muscles hurt, so they can't swim again.

The girls' faces relaxed.

-Ow!-they started rubbing their hand and leg muscles, pretending they're exhausted.

-Very well. You can change and go back to your dorms since this is the last class for today.-said the couch.

The girls changed and were waiting for Timmy in the school's garden.

-Hey, what's up?-he asked.

-Thanks for saving our but over there.-said Layla.

-Any time. I told you, you can trust me! I'm here to help.-said Timmy.

-You'd do anything for us?-asked Tecna.

-Yeah, sure, just say the word and it's done.-he said.

-We were hoping you'd say that. We want to go to MAKO this weekend.-said Flora.

-MAKO? As in Australia?-asked Timmy as the girls nodded-Well, we are in New Zealand, we are pretty close. A boat ride from here is how long, 2-3 hours?

-Good. We'll wait for you at MAKO.-said Bloom as they ran outside the school to the sea and dived in.

Timmy went back to his dorm, he got his backpack ready with water and some science gadgets for research.

He saw the guys in the common room.

-Hey Sky, can I borrow your boat?-he asked.

-What for?-asked Sky.

-I'm going to Australia to do some research.-said Timmy.

-Australia? Ok, can we come?-asked Sky.

-I don't think you'll like it, it's just a boring research.-said Timmy.

-Come on Timster, we'll go around the city, have fun and we'll wait for you at the place you'll park.-said Brandon.

-Ok.-said Timmy.

…..

They got to Australia and Timmy left the boat on a beach.

-We'll be here in two hours.-said Nabu.

-Three!-said Timmy.

-Three it is.-said Riven.

Timmy was waiting for the guys to be out of sight, when they were out of sight he went to MAKO island.

…..

The girls were waiting for Timmy at the shore on the beach on MAKO.

-Where is he? He was supposed to be here almost an hour ago!-said Musa.

-Exactly 57 minutes and 47 seconds.-said Tecna.

They saw a boat coming.

-Finally!-said Musa.

Timmy got to the shore, he left the boat on the beach.

-Sorry for being late girls, I had to leave the guys at the Gold Coast-the town in Australia closest to MAKO.-said Timmy.

-What are the guys doing there?-asked Stella.

-They heard I'm going to Australia for some research and asked me to take them with me.-said Timmy.

-How exactly did they find out?-asked Stella.

-Well, i…I had to borrow Sky's boat, since I don't have one.-said Timmy-But I'm saving up for a boat.

-Next time try to be less subtle.-said Layla.

-Oh come on, I wasn't that bad!-he said.

-Timmy, one wrong step and they will find out what we are!-said Musa-You have to be more careful.

-So where are we supposed to go anyway?-asked Flora.

-This way.-said Layla, leading the way.

Everyone went after her. Timmy and Tecna were last.

-Sorry, we're just worried.-said Tecna.

-No, it's ok, you have the right to be worried, I mean, you're the mermaids.-said Timmy.

…..

The group got to the moon pool.

-Wow! This place is amazing!-said Timmy looking around in awe.

-We need to find out what caused this transformation.-said Layla.

-I can help. I already brought some research stuff.-said Timmy.

-So what should we do in the meantime?-asked Bloom.

-I'll help Timmy with his research.-said Tecna.

-Ok, well I say we go for a swim.-said Stella. The girls nodded.

In a matter of second they dived in the moon pool and were gone.

The girls' heads popped inside the moon pool.

-Hey, how are you doing with the research?-asked Flora.

-Well, so far we've found out that you transform within 10 seconds after you touch water and go back to normal after you're completely dry. Now, I took a hair, nail, toe nail, ear wax and a scale and skin sample from Tecna and I'm gonna need all of you to do the same.-said Timmy.

-If we all cut her hair, she's gonna be hairless!-said Stella.

-No, I meant with you. I need samples from you.

-You're kidding right?-asked Musa.

-No. I need each of every sample, when in mermaid form, and in human form.-he said passing them little plastic boxes and scissors.

…..

-Are you done yet Timmy?-asked Tecna, getting inpatient. She liked science and research stuff, but this was ridiculous.

-Almost.-he said.

-Hate to break it to you, but there is a group of five guys angrily waiting at Gold cost's shore.-said Layla diving out of the moon pool.

-What?!-Timmy looked at his watch-Oh no, I'm doomed! Sky will never let me use his boat again!-he said rushing. He quickly collected his stuff in his backpack-I'll text you guys when I get back.

He left as the girls dived in the moon pool.

….

The girls were in their dorm, sitting on the couches. They were bored.

-Why don't we practice our powers a bit?-asked Bloom.

-Great idea, Flora and I can help.-said Musa.

-Alright then, I'll get a glass of water.-said Flora.

She put the glass on the table.

-Now, if you want to have small effects, make small movements.-said Flora demonstrating. The glass was slowly getting frozen.

-Hold on, first, who doesn't know their powers?-asked Musa.

Layla and Tecna raised their hands.

-Ok, Layla, put your hand like this-Musa placed Layla's hand in front of the glass-and focus on the water.

Suddenly a small water tentacle rose.

-Am I doing this?-asked Layla.

-It's not me.-said Bloom.

-So you share the water moulding power with Bloom.-said Stella.

-Tecna, do the same thing Layla did.-said Musa.

Tecna positioned her hand in front of the glass. Suddenly the glass and the table around it froze.

-And something tells me you share the freezing power with Flora. So that leaves me and Stella with the heating power.-said Musa-Why don't you try melting this ice?-she said to Stella.

Stella melted the ice and dried the water from the table in a matter of seconds.

-You've been practicing.-said Flora.

There was a knock at the door.

-Who is it?-asked Bloom.

-It's me Timmy.

-Come in.-said Layla.

He went inside.

-Wait, they let you in?-asked Stella.

-Yeah, the rules are no boys in the girls building or the other way around after 9.-he said.

-Now it's 7.-said Tecna.

-That's gonna be a problem on a full moon.-said Flora.

-Why don't we think of something, there's a full moon in one week.-said Musa.

-Don't worry, I'll be working on it.-said Timmy-And I'm almost done with collecting money for the boat.

-Is Sky not gonna let you use his boat anymore?-asked Stella.

-Uh, no. He was kinda mad that I left them hanging there, in fact they all were.-said Timmy.

-Anyway, is Brandon single?-asked Stella.

-Stella!-said Bloom.

-What, Timmy said he'd do anything to help.-said Stella.

-Yes, in fact he is.-said Timmy.

-Thanks for your help.-said Stella-See? He helped, just like he said he would.-Stella turned to Bloom.

Everyone laughed.

Author's note

The last few chapters are a little boring, but they have to be like that so the story has a point. Very soon, the chapters will get more interesting. By the way, I know some of the scenes are similar to H2O, but I just think they go well with the story. Anyway, please read and review!
