Cleo's Pov

~FlashBack~

"Cleo Setori, will you marry me?" Lewis asked as he held out that shiny diamond ring in the small black box.

Confused, I wiped the tears away from my cheek as I gave him a mad look.

"Wait what? You want me to marry me? Are you crazy! I barley turned 19 just last month and your almost 20! Isn't that like way to young to get married?" I yelled in a whispering voice.

"I know its kinda crazy but i got a collage invite here on the gold coast so I don't have to return to America. You actually thought I was ditching collage? Ive been doing it here all along but I didn't tell you because I wanted this to be a surprise." He explained as he set the small box on the table.

I shook my head in anger.

"But how does that explain the way you've been treating me! Its like you stopped liking me! I thought you were ending our relationship but instead you wanna get married?" I said with a bit louder of a voice.

"I only did that cause I wanted it to be a surprise. I was actually quite stressed out with this collage project and I barley passed the class, so I ended up being mad with everyone. Plus I told my mom I was gonna propose to you, making her really upset and mad so I guess i got frustrated with the whole thing and didn't know if i should of asked to get married." He explained.

I shook my head in confusion, not catching onto the idea.

"What so now your mom doesn't want me to marry you but your asking me anyways?" I asked madly.

"No, I convinced her and she said it was ok. She was just shocked that I told her I was going to propose to you." He mentioned.

"Wait, what about my dad?" I asked thinking of the reaction my dad would do if he found out about Lewis was asking me to marry him.

Lewis looked down at the table, not really knowing what to say.

"Ya, thats the issue right there. I havent asked your dad because I wanted to make sure it was ok with you. Im not even thinking about getting married until were done with collage." He said.

"Done with collage? If you wanted to wait that long then why did you propose in the first place?" I asked.

"I dont know. Maybe cause we could start preparing things. Planning out our futures together. I was hoping you would join the collage I was going to." He said.

I sighed looking down at the diamond ring on the table.

I couldn't believe this was happening. 5 minutes ago I thought I would be single but now I have to decide to get married. It was all so confusing.

"Lewis, its just that... the way you've been treating me this week has made me feel awful and I seriously dont want to go throgh that-" But he stopped me.

"You wont. I was just stressed out with collage, and the marriage, and my mom that I let it out all on you. Please Cleo. I really truly love you and wanna spend the rest of my life with you." He sweetly said as he grabbed onto my hand.

I looked into his deep blue eyes and something inside of me felt like saying yes, but it just felt so quick.

"Ok, but we cant get married for at least another year." I quickly added as he smiled.

"That's fine with me. We have plenty of time for deciding when we want this done. I just want to finish my first 2 years of collage before we get married." He explained.

I smiled as he said that.

"And I at least want to be 20 by the time we get married. I'm not too sure my dad will be Happy with this." I frowned as I saw Lewis place the diamond ring on my finger.

"Its going to be ok." He smiled as he finished putting the ring on my finger and gently placed his hand over mine.

I smiled sweetly as I looked down at the ring.

"I love you Lewis." I smiled as I looked into his eyes.

"I love you too." He softly said as we leaned into a kiss.

I smiled in the kiss as now it just felt perfect. Nothing to worry about and knowing Lewis wasn't breaking up with me just made things so much better. I smiled while kissing him until I heard someone say my name.

"Cleo! Cleo!" I heard Emma say as she snapped her fingers in front of my face.

"What? What?" I jumped up as I found myself in the living room looking at Emma's face.

"Wow. That must of been one crazy thought, the way you were smiling." Rikki joked as I rolled my eyes.

Bella just laughed.

"I was just thinking. That's it." I mentioned grabbing some popcorn from the bowl in the middle of our circle.

"Of course you were." Rikki sarcastically said as she also grabbed some popcorn from the bowl.

"So what is it you were thinking about?" Emma asked as she sat down next to me.

"Oh um. Just the usual." I softly said, trying to make it sound causal.

"You were thinking of Lewis weren't you!" Rikki joked as she laughed.

"Oewww!" Bella and Emma said at the same time as I started to blush.

"Guys..." I shyly said, trying not to look embarssed.

"Its ok. I would understand why you would be doing that. You and Lewis. Just seems so crazy." Emma said as she layed down on her stomach.

"Its not. Im planning on going to collage with him and then once we finish our bachelors degree, we'll get married." I explained. "I will be at least 20 by the time we get married." I mentioned as everyone huddled up into a group.

"Ding-Dong..." I heard the Bell ring as I stood up from the group.

"That should probably be Lewis and Will." I said as I walked over to the door.

"Oewwww!" Bella, Emma and Rikki said as I rolled my eyes at them.

"You guys are so weird." I mentioned as they all just laughed.

I opened the door to find Lewis and Will standing at the door.

"Hey guys!" I smiled as I gave Lewis a quick kiss on the cheek.

We held hands as Will sat down next to Bella and kissed the top of her head.

"Ok, I turned off all the water, closed all the curtains in the house, and made sure that no one can see the moon. We dont know what caused us to go crazy last time, but I did all of that just in case." Emma explained as everything seemed perfectly planned out.

"But I just don't understand why the moon would go all crazy on you guys again. I don't even think the moon pool works anymore." Will mentioned as everyone looked a little sad.

"Well there hast to be something that affected us. The moon pool hast to work for us to go all mermaid-crazy. I mean, that's the only thing I can think of." Rikki mentioned, stuffing some more popcorn into her mouth.

Lewis looked down at his watch as his face started to turn into a worry.

"Ok, the moon comes out in 5, 4, 3, 2...

Rikki's Pov

Once Lewis stopped counting down, I felt some weird feeling go over me. My body started to ach as I grabbed onto my stomach.

"Oh god..." I softly said as I ran into the bathroom and started to puke.

It was so strange cause ive never puked this much before. The taste was horrible as I felt it go up my throat and out of my mouth.

I saw Cleo running into the bathroom as she grabbed a towel and waited for me to stop puking. I felt it slow down as I spit and coughed it, into the toilet. Cleo looked pretty disgusted as she handed the towel to me.

I slowly sat down next to the toilet as I grabbed onto my stomach. I wiped my face with the towel as Bella also came into the bathroom.

"Woah. Are you ok?" Bella asked as Cleo and Bella helped me stand up.

"Just fine." I sarcastically said but I still sounded pretty sick.

Lewis, Will and Emma looked at me in concern as I sat back down with the group.

"Do you need some medicine?" Lewis asked as he a back pack next to him, full of equipment.

"No, I'm fine. I probably just have the stomach flu or something." I snapped at him as I felt myself getting warmer.

Cleo placed her hand on my forehead as she gasped and immediately took her hand off my head.

"Woah Rikki. Your really warm. You should probably lie down or something." She mentioned but soon the whole house started to act strange.

The electricity came on and off every few seconds as the oven and stove came on. The popcorn turned black as it poped from out of the bowl, as the lamp next to us, fell onto the floor and broke.

Immediately everyone jumped off the floor as they looked around the place. Steam was rising above me as I felt extremely hot.

I saw the temperature in the house raise up to 95 degrees as everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"We have to get out of here!" Lewis yelled as he headed for the front door.

I looked down at the carpet and I saw that my feet were putting burnt marks onto the floor, as I ran to the front door. Why was this happening to me? It needs to stop!

All this anger built inside me as I ran outside and towards the direction of the beach.

"RIKKI!" Cleo yelled as everyone followed after me but I had to get out of here.

The sand burned up as I ran across the beach and dove into the water. My tail appeared as the water around me was boiling. The fish around me swam out of the way as some ended up burning and dying.

I couldn't believe this was happening. Why was the moon doing this to me? Why was I the only one? Why didn't it affect Cleo, Bella or Emma?

I swam towards Mako as my whole body felt burning hot. I felt like I was gonna catch on fire. Lighting started to hit the ocean as I couldn't control my powers.

I swam into the moon pool as the whole place started boiling. I was breathing heavily as my stomach started to ache in pain. A pain I have never experienced in my life. Its like my stomach was boiling in the inside.

I fell onto the rocks of the water as I grabbed onto my stomach. Everything was boiling around me as I felt sick again.

I ended up puking as the pain in my stomach got hotter. Its like the insides of me was about to explode! What was happening to me? What was causing me to do this?

I layed down in the water as I breathed heavily, trying to cool down. Steam raised above me as I saw everyone walk in.

"Rikki! Rikki!" Bella screamed as they walked towards me.

It came to the point where my stomach and my whole body felt so hot, I couldn't take it anymore. I collapsed in the moon pool as I saw the water swirling around me. All these bubbles were raising up into the surface as I started to sink to the bottom of the moon pool.

I still felt that burning sensation inside of me as I slowly started to close my eyes. I finally felt one jolt of hot pain inside my body as everything went completely black.
