Rikki's Pov
"And how is this going to help us become friends with Emma again?" I asked Cleo as I was sitting down on her sofa.
"Cause, then she will feel accepted in the group and she wont think were replacing her." Cleo explained as she was pacing back and fourth across her living room.
"Ya, and what about Bella?" I asked as I rose my head up off my hand.
"Well, since Emma and Bella are friends im pretty sure they would both join together." Cleo said a little uncertainly but I just stood up.
"Cleo, this is never going to work! We give her the necklace and then what? Were all happily going to be friends again?" I asked giving her a hard time but she continued.
"Look, this would just be the start. We give her the necklace, hang out with her more often, talk and do stuff like we used to and then we can all become friends again." Cleo mentioned but I shook my head.
"She called Sophie a better friend than me! Sophie is just going to tell her the necklaces are a scam! Why cant you see that?" I said in frustration but Cleo just dropped on the coach.
"This is never going to work! She's practically controlled by that red-headed witch-" I started saying but Cleo interrupted me.
"Lewis said that it would be a great way to start becoming friends again" Cleo mentioned but I rolled my eyes.
"Well that's reassuring!" I sarcastically said.
"Come on Rikki! Lewis is great help! He've helped me with past problems and I'm sure he can help us out with this." Cleo said as she stood up from the coach towards me.
"We can never find out if we don't try." Cleo added on as she held out her hand.
I finally sighed as I gave in. I grabbed her hand as she pulled my off the coach.
"Yay! This is going to be so great! Just imagine when were all friends again! This is a good thing." Cleo mentioned as she wrapped her arm around my shoulder but I gave her a serious smile.
"Ya and what about will?" I mentioned as Cleo unwrapped her arm around me.
"What about will?" She asked in confusion.
"Well I'm pretty sure Bella has told Will that we haven't been rather nice to her lately. What makes you think he's all of a sudden going to make a crystal necklace for Emma?" I asked her as we were walking out of Cleo's house.
"We can worry about that later. All that matters is that we go out to mako and get another crystal." She said as she had her pointer finger up in the air.
"Well I guess it's not much of a problem to get a crystal since Sophie practically destroyed the place." I said in a low voice but loud enough for Cleo to hear.
She just smiled at my sarcasm as we arrived at the beach.
"You'll be thanking me and Lewis by the time this is all settled." She said smiling as we arrived at the Rocky cliffs or what Cleo liked to call it: Lewis's secret fishing spot.
I rolled my eyes as I didn't want to argue with her anymore. We both started running towards the water as we jumped into the currents. We had to run pretty fast into the ocean because we didn't want to end up flopping onto the ocean shore.
As I dove in, my large orange tail flopped out as my eyes were adjusting to the salty water. When we first open our eyes in the ocean, everything is a blur but soon everything becomes clear and it's amazing. It was so great to be able to swim with out holding your breath or having to wear goggles.
As we pasted coral reefs, we flopped our tails really hard as we started swimming at very rapid speeds. We don't know how fast we can swim but Lewis estimated that we could swim up to 50 miles an hour as he calculated the distance to the shore, to Mako, as he once timed us.
I was the first person to pop my head out of the water as Cleo came up a few seconds later. I looked at the destroyed place with sad eyes as hate and anger went towards Sophie. I sometimes just wanted to choke her for doing this to the moon pool.
"So which crystal should we give to Emma?" Cleo asked as she gazed her eyes up onto the whole moon pool.
"Lets get this one!" I mentioned as I randomly grabbed a rock with a blue crystal in it.
Before I dove into the water Cleo started to speak.
"Oh come one! That's all you can find? That crystal is too big. Will would never be able to carve it down." Cleo said in disappointment.
"Well, it doesn't have to be perfect. Hers can be a little bigger." I sarcastically said as I looked at the rock but Cleo rolled her eyes at me.
"That crystal is the size of a tennis ball! She would break her neck the second she'd put that on! Let's go with plan B." Cleo mentioned as she grabbed the crystal out of my hand and threw it back into the sandy cave.
"I didn't know we had a plan B." I said with a smile but she rolled her eyes at me.
I dried ourselves off with my mermaid power as we both were standing on our own two legs again.
"What about this one?" Cleo asked as she picked up one from the floor.
"Hmmm, it's kinda squarish, don't you think?" I asked but Cleo just set it back on the floor.
"You care about shape but don't care if her crystal is the size of a tomato." She replied sarcastically.
I smiled back as this one certain crystal caught my eye.
"Hey! How about this one?" I asked at I picked up a diamonded shaped crystal off the floor.
Cleo smiled.
"Hey that's perfect. All Will has to do is smoothen out the surface of the crystal, put it on a string and it would be great for Emma." She smiled as she picked up the crystal from out of my hand.
"Are you still sure you don't wanna use the tennis sized crystal? I'm sure she would think that's great too!" I sarcastically said with a smile but Cleo just smiled back too.
"Im sure! Lets take this back to Will's shack before dark. My dad would be wondering what im doing up so late." Cleo said as she doved into the water.
I looked back at the cave as I saw all the scattered rocks and crystals. I sighed as I followed after Cleo. As I was swimming through the tunnel, I felt my tail appear. I started to see under water as I didn't have the urge to breathe so often.
I saw Cleo flick her tail as she started swimming supper fast. I smiled as I looked back at the tunnel and flicked my tail following Cleo back to shore.
Will's Pov
I was sitting at my desk as I was admiring the seashell I had shown to Bella earlier that day. Something about that shell was so beautiful in its own way. On the outside, it was dull and dirty but in the inside, it was a shiny rainbow color. I smiled as I laid it on my desk. Soon enough I heard a knock on the door.
Somehow excepting it to be Bella, it was Rikki and Cleo.
"Hey guys!" I said with a smile.
"See! I told you Will wasn't mad at us!" Cleo said as she budged her elbow into Rikki.
"Owe! That hurts." Rikki immediately said as she started rubbing her arm which Cleo elbowed her in.
"Mad? Why would I be mad?" I asked in confusion as I had no idea what they were talking about.
"Oh, Bella hasn't mentioned about the whole Emma situation to you, has she?" Rikki asked as she stopped rubbing her arm.
"Yes she has but that's between you guys, not me, so whats up?" I asked as I let them inside the boat shack.
"We need you to make us another crystal necklace." Cleo mentioned as she held up a blue dusty crystal.
I looked at them in confusion.
"Did yours break?" I asked but I looked at their necks to see that their crystals were still perfectly in good condition.
"We need one for Emma." Rikki said as she layed her hand on the table.
"Emma?" I asked having a feeling as to what this was leading too.
"Look, I know you barley know Emma and its weird to suddenly just have her come into the group like this but to be honest, she was in the group for at least two years before you guys came in." RIkki added on as Cleo gave me the dusty crystal.
"Ok, I guess I just need to polish it up a little bit and it should be ready by tomorrow morning." I said as I ook one last look at the crystal and then placed it onto the table.
"Thanks a lot Will." Cleo said with a smile.
"It means a lot!" Rikki added on with also a smile on her face.
I smiled back as I saw the door open. It was Bella. Bella just looked awkwardly at us as she was expecting us to say something.
"Well, we should probably go now. Bye." Rikki said as she squeezed past Bella and out of the boat shack. Cleo followed along as I just stood there awkwardly waiting for everyone to leave.
Bella set down a few shopping bags as she laid down on the coach.
"Why did they come over?" she asked but she didn't sound mad.
"Oh, it was just about making Emma a new crystal necklace." I mentioned as I showed her the blue crystal in my hand.
Bella sat straight up as she leaned back on the coach.
"Great, they're already trying to get Emma back into the group." Bella said in a disappointed voice.
"Bella-" I started saying." They never kicked you out of the group. Nor Emma. They're trying to fix this and they feel bad about the whole situation. They're just trying to make Emma feel welcomed back into the group since she is an old friend of theirs." I explained as I crossed my arms.
"Ya, I understand." Bella said in a sad low voice but I sat next her as I wrapped my arm around her.
"Everything is going to be ok. They're just as confused as you are. Were going to fix it and I know it." I said proudly.
Bella smiled as she wrapped her arm around me.
"Did I ever tell you that you're an amazing guys?" She said in a soft sweet voice.
"No! I feel rejected!" I said as I crossed my arms but she just laughed.
"Sure you do…" She said as we both sat next to each other.
I gave her a small smile as she smiled back. We both just sat there as we enjoyed the peace and quite of the silent night.
