First I want to say that I edited some things in earlier chapters. Nothing much, I just removed the girls having gills and instead made it like it's in H2O: Just Add Water. I felt that it's better if the mermaids are identical to the show. Oh, and they wear tops like in the show too, no weird scales and such anymore. Sorry if you're confused.
I've been doing lots of things lately. One of them is writing my own novel. I've already written 179 pages of it! So that's what's been keeping me busy. That, and school as well. Please, forgive me… Now on to the story.
"I should've listened to you. You were right all along", Melissa cried. She was curled up in her room, laying in May's lap. May's arms were wrapped around her in a protective way, wiping away her tears and gently tapping her back. Destiny was sitting by her two friends, her eyes focused on Melissa's; she had never seen so much sadness in anyone's eyes in her whole life. Only one thing flew around her mind at the moment: revenge.
"Shhh, it's okay, it's okay. We'll take care of it", whispered May in Melissa's ear as she kissed her cheek. She looked up at Destiny and frowned. "Right, Des?"
Destiny nodded in approval. "Yeah. We'll kick his ass. He's gonna regret taking advantage of my friend."
"We'll teach him a hell of a lesson", added May.
Melissa smiled. "You guys… thanks." She kissed May and Destiny's cheek. "I don't know what I'd do without you."
"You'd probably kill yourself", said Destiny, her face serious and cold.
"Destiny!" warned May.
Destiny licked her lips. "What?"
-H2O-
Chris sighed as he walked around the marina, looking for one specific boat he had in mind to visit. There were so many beautiful boats, so many people and owners that he found it hard to focus his eyes on the one he's looking for. Last night, after returning home when Melissa left him, he did a research online and found everything he needed. The problem now was to find the person that would make his needs and desires true.
Seeing a black-haired lady just a few meters away, he ran towards her with a big smile across his face. This is going to be a great day, he thought as he approached the lady and greeted her with a grin. "Hi, Mrs. Moretti."
Silvana smiled as she noticed her student. "Oh, hi, Chris. How have you been doing lately?"
"Oh, great. I need to talk to you."
Silvana frowned. "Okay… talk."
Chris pointed to her boat. "In private." He looked around as his teacher led him into her boat. It was beautiful, with lots of pretty pictures and statues around. Chris assumed it was Silvana's own design.
Silvana brought both herself and Chris a glass of orange juice and sat down around the table, looking at her young student. "So, what do you wanna talk about?"
Chris took a paper out of his pocked and handed it to her. Silvana carefully unfolded it and observed the wonderfully drawn picture. "It's a… great drawing. What do I do with it?" she asked, confused.
"I need your help. You see that tail I drew?" he asked. Silvana nodded. "I want to find out what it is. I've been doing research for days and I can't find anything like it."
"Interesting. As a matter of fact, it does look quite strange", admitted the raven-haired teacher. "Do you know anything about it? At all?"
Chris shook his head. "No, but I know some people who that I'm 100% sure they know."
"And who would that be?"
"May, Melissa and Destiny", Chris said. "Oh, and Dyson. You know them, they're your students. At least I think Dyson is too."
Silvana's eyes widened as she smirked. Why wasn't it surprising her that those three girls were involved? They already had so much to explain. What was the matter with them?
"I see", she muttered and looked at Chris. He seemed mature enough for her to talk about serious things. He seem to understand a lot. She didn't need to keep secrets from him. In fact, he could be her partner. Together, they could do a lot. They seem to have a common goal – discovering what those girls are hiding. "Chris, what do you say about us making a deal?"
"A deal? What kind of a deal?"
"We could, you know, work together and find out what those three, pardon, four, are hiding."
Chris smirked. "I like the sound of that." He shook his teacher's hand. "Deal."
-H2O-
"You remember that project yesterday? They must've done something to the water. But look at this." Silvana handed the test results to Chris. "My husband did these tests and they all confirm that it's just water. No chemicals, no nothing."
Chris carefully observed the papers in his hands. He didn't understand most of it, but even he could read that what Silvana said was true. Just normal, ordinary water. It can't possibly do what it did yesterday on its own. Or can it? What did they do to it to make it do it?
"What do you think?" Silvana asked, smiling at Chris' surprised face.
Chris looked up at her, his eyes burning with passion. "I think we need to pay them a visit."
-H2O-
May, Melissa, Destiny and Dyson sat at the table in Tropicus, enjoying the beautiful Sunday afternoon as they talked about recent events. Dyson's eyes were wide in shock as he listened Melissa's story about her date, while his thoughts were filled with hatred and despise. How could Chris behave in such a way? Talk about getting the wrong first impressions.
Destiny suggested that they should stay away from Tropicus from now on, saying that she refused to give her money to someone that brought sorrow and pain to her friend. Dylan instantly agreed to it, but May and Melissa thought of it being a bad idea. May kept claiming that they have the best juices and shakes in town, while Melissa agreed to her every word.
"We have no other place to hang out at", she pointed out.
"Moon pool, anyone?" Destiny asked.
May frowned. "But that's boring. Here you have cool drinks and stuff. Moon pool… it's full of salty water and rocks."
"And I don't want to stop hanging out here just because Chris and I had a fight. I don't want him to think he managed to break me", Melissa said.
Destiny shrugged. "I guess she's got a point."
"So, wanna come to Ooha'oma tomorrow? Maybe we could have a picnic", suggested May. "The girls and I talked about it and we think it's a good idea."
"Sounds great", Dyson smiled.
The group kept talking about the fabulous picnic they will have tomorrow afternoon, joking and laughing at Dyson's dirty jokes and suggestions. May's face was red with shame as she stared at her boyfriend, who couldn't go a minute without saying another dirty joke. Melissa thought of those jokes as of something incredibly funny, while Destiny stared at her feet, nervously licking her lips, as her face became redder and redder that her head soon started to look like a big, swollen tomato.
Unbeknownst to the laughing four, a raven-haired woman stood at the door of the café, listening to their every word as if it holds a secret unknown to the human kind. All those things they said had a deep meaning to her; she's discovered lots of juicy details about them: first, Dyson was the most perverted boy she had ever known, and second, the group's secrets lay on that island, Ooha'oma. Silvana sighed. There was no turning back now; she had to confront them once and for all. No teenager has ever played Silvana Moretti and got away with it.
Taking a deep breath, Silvana headed towards the group's table. Noticing her, the four instantly quieted, their faces radiating with curiosity and confusion.
"So, how's it going, girls?" Silvana asked, a fake smile on her face. "And boys", she quickly added, turning to Dyson.
"Great, thanks", replied Melissa. "How about you?"
"Oh, I'm doing fine. Thanks for asking, sweetie. So, any new projects you've been working on?"
"No, not really", said May, frowning.
"I hope you understand why I had to give you that D, girls", Silvana said, "and I wish we could stay in friendly relationship, even though you got a bad grade."
"Yeeeaaah", spoke Destiny with a dose of sarcasm in her voice. She nodded her head, biting her lower lip. "You'd like that, wouldn't you?"
"Oh course I would! I knew you'd understand!" Silvana said in a friendly voice. "You know that you can always tell me if something is bothering you. No matter if it's school or family issues, you can always count on me that I'll listen."
"Well, aren't you great", Destiny said.
"So, anything you'd like to tell me?"
"No", Melissa said.
"You sure?"
The girls nodded once again. Silvana opened her mouth as if to say something, only to be interrupted by May.
"Um, actually… there is something", she admitted.
Silvana's eyes gleamed with pride; she finally managed to get them to open up. "Yes?"
"I've been having some… issues with my… uhm, period. I was just wondering is it normal for it to… you know… leak so much…"
"Well, it'd different… with each girl, you know", Silvana explained, her eyes wide in shock. Is this a joke? she wondered.
May smiled. "Great, thanks."
Silvana sighed. These girls were a lot smarter than she thought; it'll take a whole lot more to get information out of them. They're protecting something – Silvana was sure of it – but how long does it take for them to spill the secret out. Maybe it was her approach; she shouldn't have been so nice. Maybe being a bitch would cause them to talk. No harm in trying, she thought, clearing her throat. Okay, here it goes.
"You are such little liars", she said.
All four – May, Melissa, Destiny and Dyson – looked up at her. Her face wasn't happy and cheerful anymore; it looked like the place of a maniacal madwoman.
"Excuse me?" Dyson asked, a bit intimidated by – usually nice – teacher's outburst.
"I know you're hiding something. I don't know what, but I'm on my way to find out. That experiment of yours – it wasn't just any experiment. I've checked it, it's just ordinary water. Thought you could fool me? Now tell me what this whole thing is about, or, I swear to God, I'll search through every piece of this goddamn city until I find what in the fucking hell you're hiding."
"We are not hiding anything!" Destiny said, her voice trembling with anger. How dare that woman approach them like that, play all nice and them explode like a fucking time bomb? There was something seriously wrong with her.
"Don't you lie to me, little girl! I know there's something you don't want me to see!"
"Oh really? How about some proof for your claims?" This time it was Melissa. She balled her fists, angel boiling in her eyes and her cheeks as red as rubies. Silvana looked at her as if she were seeing a ghost, which was enough for Melissa. First Chris and now this – it was too much for her to handle. "You don't have any, do you? You're just trying to scare us so we could spill it out, aren't you? Well, you're wrong! You're not getting anything from us! I'm sick and tired of this shit! All you people think about is yourselves! Gang up at Melissa because she's so stupid and short, she'll tell you everything! She has no mind of her own, she just a stupid little brat! Well, no ma'am! I'm not taking any more of this shit! So you get your skanky ass out of here and leave us alone!" She paused for a moment, let out a long, relaxing breath and finally spoke again: "Well, that's actually all I wanted to say…"
Dyson's eyes widened in shock. He's never seen Melissa like this. He'd rather expect May or Destiny to have this kind of outburst, but not Melissa. She was always nice and quiet; if he hadn't heard this, there is no way he'd believe she's had such an outburst. One moment she was yelling at Silvana, but the other… he didn't know which of those insults applied to Silvana and which to Chris.
Silvana seemed as confused as he was. Her face all red and her eyes widened, she balled her fists as if preparing to hit someone. "Fine!" she said. "I'm leaving, but don't you think you got rid of me. This is not the end! Sooner or later I'll find out what you little brats are hiding. Mark my words!" Turning on her heel, she headed to the door, leaving the confused group alone.
Dyson, Melissa and Destiny immediately began to discuss the whole situation, while May just stared at the door. She always thought all the best about her chemistry teacher. After all, she was such a nice and kind lady, completely opposite of what their last chemistry teacher was. She could never, even in her worst nightmares, imagine that sweet, polite, good mannered Silvana to act like such a bitch. Even after she gave her, Melissa and Destiny a D for that project of theirs, May still, deep down, had a little bit respect for the teacher; respect that she, after the scene today, lost forever. No one threatens me, May told herself as she clenched her fists. Not only her, but the other girls and Dyson too. Those three are May's family and who threatens her family cannot make it out without consequences. Silvana has underestimated who she dealt with – she knew nothing about what an angry mermaid could do.
Without another thought, May got up and headed outside. Dyson, Melissa and Destiny were so into their conversation about Silvana that they didn't even notice that their friend had left them. Once outside, May saw Silvana preparing her boat for a trip. She knew where the teacher was about to go; it was written all over her face and May read her like a book. Crossing her arms against her chest, May took a step farther, a look of determination on her face.
"What do you think you're doing?" she asked. Her voice was eerily calm, but there was something in its tone that made it sound almost threatening and frightening.
"Something I should've done a long time ago", Silvana replied, not bothering to even look up at the girl.
"Don't think you'll gonna get away with this", May continued.
Silvana simply smirked. "I don't think it's your decision to make", she said and with one final look at the mermaid girl she signaled her husband to start the boat.
May frowned. You're not gonna get away with this, Silvana. Not under my watch. She watched Silvana's boat drive away and with a glance around herself, she jumped into the ocean, her legs merging into a tail. Silvana might be the tough one on the ground, but she should know that in the ocean, she's just as helpless as a fish on dry land. Nobody hurts a mermaid's pride and feelings and gets away with it; especially not when the mermaid's home and family is endangered.
-H2O-
Silvana walked around in circles, a look of annoyance all over her face. Those girls and that boy – she thought she'd break them with a single demand, but they're too tough of a shell to break. She sighed. She should've known better. Those four have probably kept that secret for a long time – a secret that could bring huge success to her career and earn her so much money that she'd never have to work again in her whole life. Yet those four annoying kids decided to play smart with her and deny her her fortune; the fortune she deserved a long time ago. That secret they're hiding must be important to them, she concluded, but they've underestimated who they're dealing with. I will figure it all out – they won't stand a chance against me.
Once he was sure they were far away from the shore, Chris came out and joined Silvana on the deck. He looked at his teacher's face and immediately felt sadness; those eyes of hers, always so cheerful and friendly, were now filled with grief and disappointment; disappointment in herself for not being able to figure out what was so important that those girls kept it that hidden. She looked as if she tried her hardest not to break down, but he knew well enough that she was just at the edge of tears.
"How did it go?" he asked, his voice full of sympathy and kindness. Judging by her expression, it didn't go well, but he had to ask just to be sure. He just had to be careful – the last thing he wanted was to make her cry. She was a nice lady and he would never break the heart of someone that was nothing but kind to him. He felt that it was his moral responsibility to treat her well, that way returning the favor as she treated him well as well.
"I've got nothing", she replied. She did her best to keep a straight face, but Chris knew from her voice, shaky as if it's on the edge of breaking into millions of tiny pieces, that she would, at the moment, rather just lie down and cry her eyes out.
"Look, Mrs. Moretti-"
"Silvana", she corrected him.
"Silvana. I know it's hard. Don't you think I haven't felt bad after dreaming of the day I will discover what that tail that saved me really is and when I finally found someone who knows everything – or at least more that they're saying – about it, but won't tell? I've been killing myself for days – I still am. But you know why because I'm not broken yet? Because I have hope! I hope that everything will turn out okay at the end; that we'll find what that thing is – both the water and the tail – and finally get it over with; that we'll make money with that discovery and have work-free lives until we die… What I want to say is that you should keep going on. Don't look backward, just forward. Keep your head up in pride, show them that they haven't broken you. You're too good of a person to be affected by the words spoken by some stupid kids –even though I'm their age, I stand behind it. They're stupid, you're smart. I'm smart. We're smart. Together we're better than them. We'll figure it all out, you just need to give it time."
Silvana looked stunned. Nobody has ever said something like that in front of her – especially not to her. The person that said that was just a boy at the age of fourteen – and yet he seemed so mature and wise. She smiled at him; it was a warm, gentle smile. Get eyes now gleamed with happiness and pride, tears from deep within them gone as if they never even existed.
"Better now?" Chris asked, smiling back at the teacher.
Silvana nodded. "Better. Thank you."
"You know, I think I might know a place where we might find something."
Silvana looked up at him. "And where would that be?"
"Ooha'oma."
"And why would you think that?"
Chris shrugged. "It's strange and lonely-looking, just like those four, so it wouldn't be a surprise if they felt just like home there."
Silvana's lips formed a small smile; she liked the sound of that plan.
-H2O-
May waved her arms, feeling the bubbles forming around her as she swam super-speed style after Silvana's boat. She followed her for about ten minutes; at first the boat moved slowly, but the farther away it had gotten from the surface, the faster it started to move. May had suspected that the teacher had headed to Ooha'oma, but the boat's movements proved her wrong – that it, until the last two minutes. The boat suddenly changed directions and started straight off towards Ooha'oma.
No way, May thought, a strange feeling of anger and rage overwhelming her. First my friends and boyfriend – my family! – and now my home too? This cannot go unpunished. The mermaid swam closer to the boat, a look of determination on her face. Her look pointed toward the propeller, she slowly raised her right hand and began twisting it around. A familiar feeling of power and might shot through her body; the water was at her command now. It would obey her every order, make her every wish come true, dance the way she played.
As the water danced around it as wild and violent as a tornado, the propeller stopped; a sharp sound of screeching ripped through the water as it did. May rose her hand higher up, shaking and twisting it so hard that her fingers felt as if they're about to break I half. The surface of the ocean began to shake and waves started to form, causing the boat to shake as violently as the ground shakes during an earthquake. She wasn't sure, but May thought she heard worried demands and wonderings about what is happening.
Smirking, the mermaid pulled her hand back and in a quick move struck it up again. The water under the boat began to raise up, the boat rising with it as well. May gulped; the pain in her hand was unbearable. She had never before controlled such amount of water and no matter how good it felt to have the power, the price that came with controlling it was too much for her to handle. Still, she knew she couldn't stop now. She had to endure the pain and torture, in no way she would give up and let that bitch of a teacher win. If she does, Silvana will get to Ooha'oma; she will discover the girls' secrets, ruin their lives forever.
Gulping once again, May shook her hand and continued with the twisting, feeling the water's movements under her fingers.
-H2O-
"How the hell does she know?" Destiny wondered.
Melissa shrugged. "She… eavesdropped?"
"I'll tell you how", Dyson spoke. Both girls looked at him. "That project of yours. I never thought it was a good idea. But noooo… you'll do anything for a good grade. Before you say anything", he said as Melissa mouthed something, "I know you're no Einstein, but still, you could've done something simpler. Silvana is a good teacher – or at least she seemed like a good teacher. She may be a bitch, but she's a fair teacher. I don't think she'd have given you an F even if you came up to her with just a two-sentenced essay. Maybe none of it would've been that suspicious if May hadn't used her power to levitate the water; if it had stayed in the glass, everything might've turned out fine."
Destiny opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Melissa beat her to it. "Hey, about May… where is she?"
Destiny rose an eyebrow. "Bathroom?"
Dyson quickly shook his head. "No, she would've told us. She would've asked one of you to go with her." His eyes widened as realization hit him; god, how he wished he was wrong, but knowing May, he knew he was probably right. "No. No, no, no, no, no, no… no! No way! No!"
Melissa shot him a confused glance. "No…?"
"She went after Silvana!" Dyson shouted; the whole café pointed their looks at him. His face red with shame, he continued his speech, this time speaking in a quieter tone. "She must've followed Silvana after she left. We were so into our conversation that we didn't even notice she disappeared. Quickly! Let's go! We have to stop her! She might do something seriously bad."
"It's Silvana. Why should we care?" Destiny asked coolly; her face expression as cold as ice.
"You've got to be kidding me! May is out there and she might hurt someone – a person – and you don't even care!"
Melissa shook her head. "Nope. Silvana has already stated what she thought of us. Why should we care what happens to her?"
Dyson looked at them, disbelief obvious in his deep, thoughtful eyes.
"What?" Destiny asked, confused.
"Give us a good reason to help her and we'll do it", Melissa stated.
Dyson sighed. It was obvious they were serious about what they've said and there was no talking them out of it. The only thing that would make them save the helpless – although bitchy – woman would be a reason, something he didn't have. Think, Dyson, think, he thought to himself. What reason was good enough for the girls to get into action and save their Chemistry teacher?
After a few minutes of thinking, the teenage boy finally spoke up: "If you don't stop May, your secret might be in danger."
Even that simple sentence was enough for the girls, as both of them hurried toward the door. Dyson sighed in relaxation. Why hadn't he thought of that earlier?
-H2O-
Melissa and Destiny sped through the water, occasionally glancing at each other as if searching for comfort in the other's eyes. If Dyson hadn't mentioned their secret, there would be no way they'd go after May to stop her from doing whatever the hell she intended to do with Silvana. After all, the bitch deserved the treatment May had for her; if she hadn't attacked them just about half an hour ago, none of this wouldn't have happened. But no, she just had to play smart. Why did she have to know everything anyway? Couldn't have she just let it all go away and give the three of them an A for that project? The scientists sometimes seemed like a completely different species.
The two had no idea where to search for May and Silvana, but Destiny suggested going towards Ooha'oma. It was a strange, suspicious island; a total weirdness magnet, something definitely suited for May, Melissa, Destiny and Dyson – Destiny's words, not Melissa's.
It didn't take long for the two mermaids to find their mad friend. They saw May below the boat, her hand up and twisting. They instantly recognized that hand movement – she was using her powers and it wasn't for something silly. Destiny and Melissa swam over to their friend and both put their hands on her shoulders. May didn't even flinch, as if she had expected them to come after her. Her eyes still focused on the water that slowly rose to the air along with the boat, she kept her cool and concentrated full on using the right movement to control the water.
"Please", Melissa pleaded, but being underwater, it sounded almost as if a normal person was drowning; there was no sound, only bubbles that flew out of her mouth.
Destiny took May's other hand and with her other hand gently touched May's chin and turned it to face her; May's hazel eyes met Destiny's. Destiny shook her head, look in her eyes full of sadness. At first May ignored it, but the more she looked into those sad eyes, the more she felt remorseful and guilty. Finally, after Melissa glanced at her, wearing an expression as if she's about to cry, May broke and put her hand down. The water fell back down, along with the boat, followed by a loud, piercing splash. She would've continued with her intention, but the looks in Destiny and Melissa's eyes were breaking her heart. If only they haven't come after her.
Taking each other's hands, the girls turned around and swam back home.
-H2O-
The next day everything continued in its usual way. May, Melissa and Destiny went to school in the morning, still talking about yesterday's events. When Dyson joined them, he kept preaching to May about her behavior, saying that she could seriously hurt someone if she keeps doing that Her reply that hurting was what she was aiming for shut him up for good ten minutes, after which he kept blabbing something about school and homework, the speech the girls weren't interested in so they listened to every second word just so they can repeat it if he asks them to in order to make sure they were listening.
The school day went by fine. No Chemistry on Mondays, for which the girls were very grateful for. Chris wasn't at school that day, something Melissa cheered for. If he had been at school, she didn't know how she would've managed to spend time with him in the same classroom without breaking down.
Walking home from school, the girls decided to go to Ooha'oma after lunch, which Dyson quickly replied, saying he had homework to do. Those two hours passed quite fast and almost in no time, the three mermaids found themselves in the ocean, finding their way towards their home.
-H2O-
Chris had stayed with Silvana that Monday. That morning he took his bag and pretended to go to school around his parents, but once he left the house, he found himself on his way to Silvana's boat. He and Silvana had worked on theories about what happened the day before for almost whole morning. Arturo, Silvana's husband, bought them lunch around twelve, and Chris called his mother to say he was staying over with a friend after school. It was a sweet lie; small, yet effective. He hated lying to his parents, but if it concerned his future, which could be full of money and fortune, then lying was something he desperately needed in order to archive his goals.
"I still cannot believe how high it rose", Arturo spoke with disbelief. "I mean, we're lucky we've made it. Those people on weather reposts should be more precise. Someone could get killed. Good thing our son wasn't with us when it happened."
Chris frowned. Silvana never mentioned she had a son. "You have a son?"
"Yes. He's your age. He's currently sleeping at his friend's house. I didn't want him here because I thought something dangerous might happen. Turns out I was right." She shot Arturo a warning glare.
Arturo put his hands up in defense. "Hey, I told you I was sorry last night. Want me to repeat it?"
"No, just like to point it out. You wanted to forbid him from sleeping over at his friend's. If you did, yesterday he might've gotten hurt", Silvana said and looked at Chris. "But you're alright, right? You didn't get hurt or anything?" she asked, a dose of worry in her warm voice. In that short time she'd known him, Chris had become like a second son to her. If anything happened to him, it would cause that mama bear mode she hid deep inside to surface and nobody wanted to be near her when that happened.
At around two, Silvana ordered Arturo to take her and Chris to Ooha'oma. Once on the island, the two walked around, looking for traces of anything that might sound unusual or strange. Walking over towards the rocks, they both sighed in defeat. There was nothing on this damn island that seemed at least a tiny bit suspicious – except for those unusually sized spiders, but this is an uninhabited island we're talking about.
They were ready to give up their search and return to the boat, when suddenly Chris tripped over a large rock and fell down. Giving him a hand and helping him stand up, Silvana noticed something odd about the rock; not actually about the rock itself, but about what was hidden behind it. With Chris' help, she managed to remove the rock, revealing a tunnel similar to a toboggan. Without another thought, she slipped into the tunnel, Chris following quick after. What she found when her butt hit the rocky ground was something she'd never, not even in a million years, expected to find.
She was in a small cave and in front of her stood a small, circle shaped pool of crystal blue water. Sun's bright says shot the water from above the volcano cone, making it sparkle in a beautiful feature of colors. It was one of the most beautiful things Silvana had seen in her life.
While the teacher stared in amazement, Chris looked around the small cave, searching for anything that might help him and Silvana in their research. Kneeling down, he found a strange looking scale lying next to the pool. He gently picked up the scale and observed it, before getting up to his feet and showing it to Silvana.
"This is it. This scale… it's exactly the same as the one on that tail I saw", Chris explained.
"Interesting", Silvana said, still amazed by the place's beauty. Taking out her phone, she called her husband. "Arturo, I need you to get the bars. We might be onto something here. Oh, and I need you to get here underwater. Yes, exactly. So you put it and wait. It will show up." When she hung up, she noticed a confused Chris staring at her. "Oh, right. I figured that whatever that thing is, it's going to come back here. We'll wait for it, if that's alright with you. I called Arturo to get the bars, so when the creature comes in, we can capture it."
Chris nodded, agreeing with the plan. "Yeah, sure. Not like I have anything better to do."
The waiting hadn't lasted for long, but it felt like it was days. Silvana began to walk in circles, every once in a while observing the rocks in amazement. Chris was sitting cross-legged in front of the pool, running his fingers through the shiny turquoise water. Come on, creature. Come on, show up, he thought.
In about thirty minutes Chris and Silvana noticed something moving in the water. It was bronze, but there were some traces of dark brown around it. Chris and Silvana both took a few steps back, their eyes focused on the figures in the water. Three faces suddenly dove out of the water; three very, very familiar faces.
May, Melissa and Destiny stared at their chemistry teacher and classmate, whose eyes were wide open with shock. Three mermaids were just in front of them, their heads and tails above the water's surface.
So what do you think? The next chapter is a final chapter of season one. Please review.
