Another Update; I actually didn't think i was going to post this tonight, but you know, i kept listening to music, and ignoring the fact that i still have to learn my french speaking test!
I may have changed a few little things that happens in the series (its mentioned during the chapter about the full moon.)
I really hope you enjoy this chapter
A week later
Will had told Bella all about going to Ireland, and he decided to go, but be Bella's girlfriend until he goes.
Cleo was cleaning out the fish tank, and felt her phone vibrate. She looked at the caller id. Lewis.
"Hello" Cleo said, wondering why Lewis had called her.
"Hey Cleo, I know I haven't spoke to you for a few months, but I have been so busy."
"Ok. So how is America?"
"It's going well. I need to tell you something important; what ever you do, don't go near the moon pool, or Mako Island in 3 days." Lewis informed.
"Why?" Cleo asked.
"You will loose your powers and the ability to transform into a mermaid as soon as you get into the pool."
"Lewis, you must be getting confused with the Full Moon which happens every 50 years. There can't be another one! It hasn't even gone 50 years."
"I know, but I have researched it, and apparently, if a mermaid has been in the moon pool and transformed back to a human on the 50 year mark, for example charlotte, it will happen again at anytime during the first 5 years of the next 50 years. Does that make sense?"
"Yeah, at least I think I do. Thanks for telling me this Lewis."
"Your welcome and happy early birthday, I might not be able to call on the day"
"Thank you" Cleo said.
"I'm going to go now, someone wants me in the lab" said Lewis.
"Nice talking to you, Bye" said Cleo, and they both put the phone down.
Cleo carefully put the floating fish back in the clean tank, and took off her gloves. She grabbed her bag and went downstairs, and left her phone accidentally on her bed.
As Cleo walked out of the door to Rikki's Juice Bar, Kim went into Cleo's room and took her phone.
"Dad, why don't you invite all of Cleo's friends around for her birthday?"
"I don't have all of their numbers" Don replied.
"Cleo left her phone behind."
"Ok, I will call them, but don't tell Cleo, it's a surprise." Don said, and sat on the couch with a piece of paper and a pen, then started to route through Cleo's contacts.
In the café
Bella and Rikki saw Cleo in the corner booth by herself and decided to sit with her.
"Hey, you ok?" Rikki asked.
"Yeah. Lewis called earlier."
"What did he say?"
"That he might not be able to call me on my birthday"
"Come on Cleo, I know you miss him, and still love him, but you have to let go."
"What are you going to do for your birthday?" Rikki asked.
"I don't know."
"Why don't we go to Mako, and have a movie night?" suggested Bella.
"One problem, we can't." answered Cleo.
"Why not?" Bella asked.
"Because, Lewis also told me how, if a mermaid has been in the moon pool and transformed back to a human on the 50 year mark, for example charlotte, it will happen again at anytime during the first 5 years of the next 50 years."
"So you're saying we could loose our tails?" Bella tried to understand"
"Yeah, pretty much" Cleo sighed. "I'm actually sick of people knowing this secret! Let's just stop and think how many people there is that know the secret, not including us, and Emma. There's Charlotte, Lewis, Ash, Zane, Kim, Don and Samantha. Sophie is going to find out sooner or later, and let's face it, it's not something just us three share anymore. I think if anyone else was to find out, I would actually go and try to loose what we share. I'm really, sorry, but I just feel like it isn't safe anymore."
"I'm with you on that. I would do the same as you", nodded Rikki.
"Yeah, we all stick together. If one finds out, we all get found out." Bella agreed.
"I've just thought, I need to get home, I've left my phone on my bed, and you know what Kim is like."
"We know exactly what she's like. See you on later."
"Bye"
At Cleo's House
"Dad, have you finished writing all of the numbers down?" Kim said in a hurry.
"Yeah why?" Don asked curiously.
"Because Cleo is walking down the road right at this minute and I need to put the phone back on her bed, you know, to keep the surprise party at bay."
"Here, quick take it!" said Don. Kim rushed to the table and ran upstairs to her sisters' room, and placed her phone on the bed in exactly the same spot as Cleo left it in earlier in the day.
"Kim, if Cleo asks where I am, I'm in the office, making some important calls, but don't tell her it is her friends."
"Ok dad, anything for you" Kim smiled innocently. Her plan was working perfectly once again.
Once again, please review, and if you haven't noticed, it does make the chapters come out a little faster. :)
