Chapter 13
-Thank you so much Miss Ofelia, we owe you big time!-said Bloom.
-Don't worry dear, I always help fellow mermaids.-she said.
-Miss Ofelia, there's something the girls and I have been wondering, is that bad thing supposed to happen on the full moon or after?-asked Bloom.
-Well, I'm not sure, but I know it's about Musa.-said Miss Ofelia.
-Yeah, we're kinda scared, but not Musa, she doesn't really believe you.-said Bloom.
-She's just like Nancy. She was one of my friends, she didn't believe my visions either.-said Miss Ofelia.
-Do you miss them, your friends.-asked Bloom.
-Every day. We had so many great adventures and there was a lot of excitement. It was like a fairy tale.-said Miss Ofelia-Well, you should better get going, now since you don't have detention anymore, I suggest you get ready for the full moon tonight.
-Yes, thanks once again. Goodbye!-said Bloom exiting the office.
…
Bloom entered the dorm. It was quiet, the girls were still mad at each other from that fight they had the other day.
-We have no detention.-said Bloom.
-Good. We wouldn't even have detention if it wasn't for Musa!-said Stella.
-What! You didn't have to wait for me!-said Musa.
-Well we did.-said Layla.
-Good.-said Musa.
-Girls, let's not fight! At least not today.-said Bloom.
-Ok, ok. I'm sorry.-said Musa.
-We're sorry too.-said Stella.
-Good, now let's get started.-said Tecna as she passed every girl a black rolled up paper.
-What's this for?-asked Layla.
-We'll be covering the windows with this, Timmy's idea. And also-Tecna opened the door to reveal Timmy-Timmy's gonna help us.
They started covering the windows and doors.
-All set!-said Flora-You can go now Timmy.
-What? No! I'm staying here after last time!-he said.
-It's fine, no moonlight can get in here.-said Bloom.
-Fine, but if it turns out you need my help, I told you so!-said Timmy leaving.
When he opened the door, Stella was looking in a mirror and was turned with her back to the door. The full moon wasn't fully risen, but Stella caught a glimpse of it in her mirror. Musa noticed Stella is staring at the mirror, so she stood up and she saw the full moon's reflection too.
It's been almost an hour and the room was getting hotter and hotter, but the girls didn't seem to notice much. Bloom and Flora were reading a magazine, Tecna was playing a video game, Stella and Layla were watching a movie and Musa listened to music.
-Guys! It's too hot!-said Musa.
-I agree!-said Stella.
They stood up and started pacing the room, fanning themselves with their hands.
-Come to think of it, it's unusually hot.-said Tecna.
-What's going on?-asked Bloom.
-I can't stand the heat!-said Stella.
-Do we have any ice cream?-asked Musa.
-Check the mini fridge.-said Layla.
Musa opened the fridge, and just as she did, the ice in the fridge melted.
-Guys!-she yelled.
-What?! You're moonstruck?-asked Tecna
-I guess.-said Musa.
-AAArh!-they heard Stella yell from her room.
They ran to her room and saw that the curtain was on fire.
…
-You two have to stay on the couch and stay cool!-said Tecna-I'll help.-She started cooling them with her magic and Flora helped.
-It's not working!-Musa stood up from the couch.
She left burnt footprints wherever she stepped. Her eyes widened.
-Musa, calm down, just get back on the couch and cool off.-said Bloom.
-No. You're not safe here with us.-said Stella standing up from the couch-Come on Muse.
They ran out of the building.
-Wait!-yelled Flora.
-Let's call Timmy.-said Tecna.
-Hello, Musa and Stella are moonstruck.-said Tecna.
-I saw them.-he said.
-How?-asked Tecna.
-Through the window. I'm on my way, I'll be there in a few minutes.-he hung up the phone.
…..
-Ok, so Musa and Stella are moonstruck, where do you think they went?-asked Timmy.
The girls looked at each other-MAKO!
-Ok, so MAKO it is.-said Timmy as they rushed outside.
…..
Musa and Stella were at MAKO, they stopped on the beach and once they dried off, they started running towards the moon pool. Musa got to the moon pool and was inside the pool. The water was boiling around her. Stella on the other hand tripped while they were running and fell down. She sat down, surrounded by fire, crying.
After a while someone came, it was Brandon.
-Stella, what are you doing here?! Come on you could get hurt!-he said.
-No, leave me alone!-she said.
-Stella are you ok, what happened?!-he asked.
-It's too much. It's such a big responsibility. I thought it'd be easy.-she sobbed.
-Hey, it's alright, let's get you out of here,-he hugged her, but got burned-Ow, Stella, that's a lot of fire, you're turning hot yourself!
-I'm sorry.-she sobbed.
-Don't be.-he said. They kissed and Brandon fainted from the heat she made with her powers.
…
The girls and Timmy were on his boat, heading to MAKO. The girls wore hoodies and sunglasses.
-How can we be sure they're on MAKO?-asked Bloom.
-By that.-Timmy pointed at the island, there was a massive fire.
They got to the beach, Tecna and Layla went to the forest with Timmy and Flora and Bloom went to check the moon pool.
Tecna, Layla and Timmy found Stella crying on the ground and a fainted Brandon next to her.
-Stella!-they hugged her but got burned.
-Let me help.-said Tecna as she cooled Stella and cooled down the fire.
-I'll take Brandon to the infirmary.-said Timmy.
-Stella, come to the moon pool.-said Layla.
-No!-said Stella-I can't.
-Come on, you'll feel better there!-said Tecna.
Stella stood up and they went to the moon pool.
-Get her inside!-yelled Flora as she and Bloom were floating around Musa.
Stella and Musa were floating on their backs in the moon pool while the water was boiling around them.
-If this doesn't end, we'll become fried fish!-said Layla.
The moon was no longer seen and the water around Stella and Musa stopped bubbling.
-Why am I in the moon pool?-asked Musa.
-What is going on?-asked Stella.
The girls smiled.
….
The next day the girls were at the café.
-Brandon called me this morning, something about a fire on MAKO and he said he woke up in the infirmary and was burnt. You know anything about this?-asked Stella.
-No.-said Bloom.
-Nope.-said Tecna. Flora shook her head.
-The girls didn't tell me anything!-said Musa.
-What fire?-asked Layla.
-Ok guys, I know it was me! Sheesh! Some friends you are!-said Stella.
-Maybe we can make it up to you with a swim?-asked Layla.
-Sure!-said Stella-Race you to MAKO!
-I'll catch up, just need to pay!-said Musa as the girls raced out of the café.
She paid and went to the beach. She looked around to see is anyone watching and jumped in. What she didn't know is that someone was watching her and took pictures of her jumping in, but never coming out of the water.
