Nobody's P.O.V

Samantha, Cleo and Kim all sat in Samantha's room talking. Few days ago when it was Samantha's first day at school it had started to rain, more like pouring. Since none of the girls had wanted to risk their secret being blown they had faked being sick.

But the whole thing almost blew up in their faces. Luckily all turned out just fine, but it lead for Bev giving all of them an earful the next day.

Now the Sertori girls had a new problem. Their cousin Angela was going to move in with them. Her parents had died in a car accident. And the lucky family who has to take care of Angela is...the Sertori's.

"This is going to be a nightmare." Cleo groaned, while chewing on her lower lip. "It's hard to keep our secret from dad, but he's not home so much so it's fine but..."

"Angela is young so she's going to snoop around. As long as she stays away from my room." Samantha narrowed her eyes. "Why it is that when we solve one problem a new one appears and is always worse than before?"

"Well I'll whenever I can." Kim offered from her place between the twins. Ever since she was fully included in the secret her attitude had changed. For the better that is.

"Girls! Angela is here!" Bev called from downstairs.

"Let the nightmare begin." All three Sertori girls said at the same time as they left Samantha's room.

"As soon as I can I'll move to live on my own. Now it's like having crossbreed of Miriam and Tiffany living under the same roof." Samantha ranted to Rikki and Emma as they watched Cleo train Ronnie.

Rikki looked repulsed. "I feel for you Sam, I really do. If I could I would move out too to get away Chelsea."

Emma turned to glare both Samantha and Rikki. "She just lost her parents, give her a brake."

"Then why isn't she grieving? That manipulative j*** makes Kim's past behavior seem like she's an angel." Samantha hissed, only to calm down as Ronnie swam closer clicking and whistling worriedly. "I'm okay Ronnie, just discussing some family business. Nothing to worry about, honestly."

"Ronnie!" Cleo called. "Let's try again."

"Go on Ronnie." Samantha clicked her tongue and pointed towards Cleo. Ronnie whistled before swimming back to his trainer.

"That dolphin really likes you Sam." Rikki said smiling. It was weird how a dolphin could calm Samantha down easier than anyone she knows.

"I know." Samantha waved her hand like she was swatting a fly. "But back to the problem at hand. Angela needs to learn she can't have everything she wants. Honestly, I have to lock my room if I want to go somewhere. That little pest was going through my stuff earlier. She broke one of the wind chimes I was making. And guess what? No apology!"

Rikki looked at Emma raising an eyebrow at her. "I agree with Sam. Even Chelsea knows to stay out of my room. Something needs to be done."

Emma shook her head. "Let Bev handle this." She said simply.

[I'm going to open The Ocean's Pearl early. Wanna come with?] Samantha asked Rikki.

[Sure. Emma clearly doesn't see the problem - yet.] Rikki followed after Samantha.

*The Ocean's Pearl*

"Kim what are you doing here?" Samantha asked her little sister, who was waiting outside The Ocean's Pearl.

"I had to get away from Angela. She's a nightmare!" Kim was upset, but who could blame her after finding Angela in her room going through her private stuff.

Bev's p.o.v

"Don we need to have a family meeting." I said looking at Don. Of course he was looking at the new fishing rod Samantha bought him.

"About what Bev?" Still no eye contact. Men...

"Samantha, Cleo and Kim all came to me complaining about Angela. She broke one the wind chimes Samantha was making, went through Kim's private stuff and almost overfed Cleo's fishs. We need to have basic rules in this house. Ava and Davis never believed in rules, but this is getting out of hand." It's obvious where Samantha got her temper from since I'm stuggling not to start shouting at my husband. "All three of our daughters had to lock their things in Samantha's room so they can leave the house."

*clang* The fishing rod fell to the floor. "What? Angela would never-"

"Donald Sertori! I saw all the evidence myself. Angela needs to learn that she can't have everything she wants. Would you rather have three unhappy daughter coming after you?" It was time for Don to open his eyes.

"We'll talk right after dinner." Don avoided my eyes, but I know that tone. My husband knows that I'm serious about this and the happiness our children is close to his heart.

After the dinner was finished the Sertori family gathered in the living room to have a family meeting.

"Alright girls. Bev and I have made some basic rules to follow now that we have Angela living with us." Don said sternly to get everyones attention. "Angela! Are you listening?"

"Yeah yeah, go ahead and tell us the rules." Angela kept looking at her nails.

1# You can't enter others rooms without permission or go through their stuff.

"Why?" Angela asked, clearly not liking this rule.

"Because you broke the wind chime I was making. I was going to sell in The Ocean's Pearl, but now I can't." Samantha said and there was acid in her voice as she glared at her new 'sister'.

"Girls enough!" Bev snapped. "Go ahead Don."

2# Everyone has do their assigned chores.

3# Respect others privacy

4# Curfew for Kim and Angela 7:30 pm and Cleo and Samantha 9:30 pm, unless they have work or study sessions

"Hey not fair! How come they can stay outside longer?" Angela argued.

"Because we are older and we both have a job. Besides we always call if we'll be late." Cleo said, not liking at Angela's attitude at the moment.

"I'll place this list on the fridge door. That way you'll see them everyday. Angela why don't you come with me. There's something we need talk about." Don and Bev left with Angela leaving behind two fuming mermaids and Kim.

"Let's call Lewis so he can instal locks on our rooms." Cleo said to Kim since Samantha already has a lock.

"You two need to get your stuff out of my room first." Samantha called over her shoulder as she walked up the stairs.

Now the basic rules are laid down. But will they be obeyed?

XXXX

Don and Bev lead Angela outside and told about the punishments that will happen if you brake the rules. Cleo, Samantha and Kim already know about the punishments.

"Angela I want you to listen to me very carefully. There aren't only rules to follow. If you break any of the fools you will be punished according to what you have done or the rule you have broken."

1.) Going into another's room without permission- Punishment: a week of doing dishes

2.) Taking things that are not yours- Punishment: We'll take away your Cell phone, Laptop, MP3 Player or something else

3.) Breaking curfew without a good excuse (Work/job, Sleepover/studie night) - Punishment: Grounded for a few days. More days added every time it's broken or depending how late you are."

Angela looked mortified. She had never had to follow rules before...

*With the girls*

"Thank you so much for doing this Lewis." Cleo thanked her boyfriend.

"No worries Cleo. I also changed the your lock to a new one Samantha. Now no one can get inside without a key." Lewis said and kissed Cleo.

Kim and Samantha high fived, happy that their rooms are now protected.

Angela made her way towards Samantha's room. She wanted one of the necklace's she had seen in there.

'There were so many of them. I'm sure she won't notice if one is missing.' Angela thought, ready to use a bobby pin to pick the lock.

"Angela? What are doing? That is Samantha's room." Don said. He was carrying some of his fishing equipment downstairs.

"I was going to apologize her for breaking that wind chime. It was an accident." Angela lied, acting all innocent.

"Well Samantha isn't in her room. She left to the Marine Park with Cleo." Don left leaving Angela in the corridor.

'That was a close one. But why should I apologize her? It wasn't MY fault that that stupid wind chime broke. Though the shells were kinda pretty.' Angela turned back towards the door.

"Why won't this stupid thing open." She gritted her teeth, not noticing the shadow behind her.

"ANGELA SERTORI!" Bev shouted, scaring Angela wittless. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING YOUNG LADY? WE JUST LAID DOWN THE RULES THE OTHER DAY AND NOW YOU ARE TRYING TO BREAK IN TO SAMANTHA'S ROOM!"

"B-but I-" Angela stuttered.

"No buts Angela! Give me your cell phone then go down stairs. There are dishes waiting for you." Bev ordered. She couldn't believe that Angela was the one to brake the rules.

'What I'm going to do with that girl?'

-Mako Island-

All the girls were in the moon pool while the guys sat on the edge. Everyone was content that they could just relax for a while.

"So how's it going with little miss pest?" Rikki asked absently. She kept her eyes on Zane.

"Mom and dad made some basic rules which we already knew, but Angela didn't. I'm sure she dad told her about the punishments." Cleo said and stole kiss from Lewis.

Ash shook his head while holding Emma's hand. "I feel sorry for you guys. She sounds like.."

"A crossbreed between Miriam and Tiffany." Samantha quipped. Her eyes were closed as she floated at the center of the pool. "She hasn't even grieved for her parents."

"Unless she does in private." Emma said indignantly. "You should give her a chance."

"Give chance to someone who is like a crossbreed between Miriam and Tiffany?" Zane asked, being skeptical about Emma's reasoning.

Lewis kissed Cleo before giving his opinion. "What I've seen of her Samantha's description is a spot on."

"Why are you all ganging up on Angela?" Emma asked, looking around trying to find support.

"Have you met her Em'?" Samantha asked.

"No, but-"

"The you don't know what you are talking about. I just hope Angela wont ever meet Chelsea. It would be a nightmare." Samantha let her body submerge underwater, but she was close enough to the surface if she needed to say something.

"Let's not fight about this. We came here to relax not start fighting about Angela being a crossbreed." Cleo pleaded quietly.

"Sorry Cleo." Rikki apologized her friend.

Ash looked at his watch to check on the time. "Shoot we have to go guys. It's getting late."

Samantha was first one out of the moon pool entrance. [Race ya!] She challenged Rikki.

[You are on!] Rikki responded as they sped away.

-Sertori's-

"Cleo, Samantha there you are."Bev greeted her daughters with a hug.

"Did something happen mom? You look tense?" Samantha asked quietly.

Sighing Bev spilled the beans. "Angela tried to brake in to your room, but I caught her before she could get in."

"Good things Lewis installed those new locks for us." Cleo then looked at her twin. "Sam?"

Samantha raised her hand. "Dont." She walked towards the strairs. "I'll be in my room trying to calm down. Otherwise I might tear that little twerp to pieces."

Angela of course heard what Samantha said. 'She wouldn't do something like that. Right?'
