Chapter 3

Cleo POV

"Cleo me and Sam want to talk to you." Don yelled

"I'm in the bathtub dad, can it wait." I yelled from the bathroom

"No, so I'll just tell you now." he said as I flopped my tail around

"We are all going camping again." he said as I dried off and got my legs back. I put on a robe and walked downstairs. "where at." I asked kinda knowing where since we did it last year.

"Mako Island." he said sipping his coffee

"I'm okay with it as long as Bella and Rikki can come." I said

"Cleo this is supposed to be a family camping trip." he said

"It's ok Don they can come." Sam said

"Thanks Sam." I said digging through the fridge grabbing the orange juice.

I walked the beach and ran towards the ocean and dove into the ocean. I swam towards Mako as I watched the schools of fish and different corals. I then sped to Mako hoping the girls were there. I surfaced the moon pool seeing Bella and Rikki laughing. "What are you guys talking about." I asked gliding over to them

"Oh just stuff." Bella said

"So were you gonna say something." Rikki asked looking at me

"Oh yea, you guys are gonna come camping with me."

"Let me guess, it's going to be right here at Mako like last time."

"Last time." Bella looked confused

"Yeah, we did this before." I said

"You guys do realize tonight is a full moon." Bella said moving her finger through the water

"Yea but we don't get effected by it anymore." Rikki said

"I need to go by Will's I have to tell him." Bella said

"Ok me and Rikki will pack our stuff so we can be at the island earlier than my family." Cleo said

"okay see you soon." Bella said leaving the moon pool

Me and Rikki zoomed out of the pool to get our stuff ready. Rikki went to her house and got her stuff while I packed mine.

Cause I'm no ordinary girl

I'm from the deep blue under world

Land or sea

I've got the power if I just believe

My phone rang. "Hello ." I answered

"Hey Cleo can Will come." Bella asked

"Yea."

I'm on my way over." I said

"Bye." she said then I hanged up my phone

I walked downstairs to tell dad I was leaving I wasn't going to tell him about Will I was going to let him see when he got there.

"Dad I'm ready so we are going to be there, okay." I said opening the door.

"Alright, see you there." Don said going upstairs

I got to Will's and put my bags in his boat.

"so are we going now." I said walking through the door

"Yea we can go now we were just waiting for you." Rikki said

"Will's going to take our bags in his boat while we swim there." Bella said

"Okay, okay can we just go now." Rikki insisted

With that we left and dove in the water right after Will left.

We zoomed through the water and arrived at Mako before Will and the others.

We started a fire while we waited for Will. It was about twilight when my family came. Dad suggested all the girls go exploring. So we did with Sam leading us. I was hoping she would not find the rocky waterfall part that was inland, but I guess I didn't hope enough. When Kim walked across the slippery rocks I said "Be careful Kim."

"I know what I'm doing." she retorted

I walked on the rocks next and said "I'm just looking out for you Kim, don't want you hurt" "well I'm not hurt." and as she said that she pushed me off the rocks and into the water. I landed with a hard splash.

"Kim." I heard Sam say to Kim sternly.

I swam to a corner and stayed hidden while Rikki and Bella covered me so they couldn't see me.

"Don't.." Bella said "She hates it when people see her wet.." Bella said then Rikki jumped in and said "…the water gets soaked through her pants and you can see her…..panties." Rikki finished

"You guys just go on and we'll meet up with you." Bella added

They walked into the other side of the woods. Rikki stuck her hand out over my tail and steam appeared and my tail was gone. By the time we got finished they were already coming back.

That's when Kim fell down the tunnel "I can get her out I know another way in. Kim stay right there so they can see you." Bella said leaving to go through the water entrance. I hope Kim stayed right were she was.

Bella POV

I rushed to the beach and dove into the water. The entrance was only about a second away. I reached the surface and hauled myself out. I grabbed a towel from behind the rocks and dried off.

"Bella is that you." Kim asked

"yea it's me stay there though."

"Ahhh." I heard someone yell as they fell down through the tunnel

"We'll go get dad okay stay there." I heard Cleo say

"Let's go over there, Bella is in there." Kim said

" Hey. so how do we get out."

"umm.. Look over there." I said as I dove into the water .I realized the moon was almost over the cone. I poked my head up where Cleo and Rikki were so they couldn't see us. The moon was directly above it when Sam and Kim went to where they had came down from. We swam out and went back to campgrounds.

We told about it and when we were about to go and retrieve them they were walking to us.

"We finally got out of that stupid tunnel." Kim said getting something to drink.

"I was just about to come and get you." Mr. Setori said

"Where did you go Bella, you dove into the water and never came back up." Sam asked me

"Well I was seeing if the pool lead to the ocean, which it did, so then when I came back you were gone so I thought you had already made it out so I came back here." I said sounding convincing

After we talked about everybody fell asleep

"That was close." Rikki said

"Tell me about it." Cleo and I said at the same time.

"Lets just go to sleep." Cleo said shutting her eyes and with that we all fell asleep.
