Cathryn was new in town. Her parents made her give up her snowboarding dream to move to the Gold Coast. It was her first day at the Gold Coast.
"How do you like it here?" her mom said, interrupting her thoughts.
"I hate it." Cathryn answered.
"Maybe we could drop you off at Mako Island. I mean you could go explore there." her mom suggested.
"Okay, I guess so." Cathryn said.
"Great!"

An hour later, Cathryn was dropped off at Mako. She decided to go explore. She had brought a picnic basket. But she wasn't hungry yet. By the time she got hungry she was by some rocks. She saw a hole and heard 2 people talking in it.
"Please, just stop controlling my body! No one can see or hear the real me!" a girl said.
"Your pretty much air now. Only one person can see you. My friends and I chose who can see you. We chose someone in Alaska. And, you can't get there from the ocean, Caroline." the other girl said.
Cathryn decided to go down there and see what was going on. After all, she was from Alaska. Maybe they didn't know she moved.
"Well, what if I looked her up on the Internet and called her myself." Caroline said.
"Well, she wouldn't help a girl like you. And besides, she's not a mermaid. She can't help you." the girl said.
Then the girl raised her hand and it looked like she was using powers. Caroline started to fall.
"Bye, Caroline." the girl smirked and disappeared.
Cathryn carefully went in and went over to Caroline. She touched Caroline and Caroline started glowing. She came back to life (even though she wasn't really dead).
"Thank you." Caroline said.
"I can see you." Cathryn said.
"You can?!" Caroline said, shocked.
"Yes, I want to help you." Cathryn said.
"You can't." Caroline said.
"Why?" Cathryn asked.
"You're not a mermaid." Caroline said.
"Mermaid? Mermaids aren't real." Cathryn said.
"I'll show you." Caroline said as she went in the water and grew a tail.
"But, how?" Cathryn asked.
The moon pool started bubbling which answered the question for Caroline. "Go in the water." Caroline told her.
When Cathryn went in the water, everything changed for her.

The next morning Caroline slept over because someone was already in her own bed. Cathryn woke up really excited. "So, how do I become a mermaid?" she asked.
"Touch water." Caroline answered.
Cathryn did as she was told and grew a tail. "I love it!" she said.
Lydia and Lyla didn't know what was up with Caroline, until today.
"Guys, I need to talk to you!" Cathryn yelled to Lydia and Lyla.
"Yeah?" Lyla asked.
"We don't know her, Lyla! It's stranger danger!" Lydia warned her, but Lyla just gave her a dirty look.
"Carolines body has been taken over! I'm the only one who can speak to her real person." said Cathryn.
"Really then prove it!" Lydia said in disbelief. "Tell me something only Caroline and us would know."
"We became mermaids on September 28th on Mako Island." Caroline said.
"You became mermaids on September 28th on Mako Island." Cathryn said.
Lyla and Lydia looked at each other in shock.
