Hello! Sorry for the long wait. So finally here it is: the last chapter of my H2O season 1! This chapter is named after Bonnie Tyler's song. It's a really beautiful song. I highly recommend you listen to it.
"No way!" Chris exclaimed, staring at three girls whose eyes were focused on him and the teacher near him. He eyed Melissa, Destiny and May; their wet hair, bare shoulders, a scaled bikini top on their chests. His eyes trailed over their bodies and stopped when they saw something they never hoped to see: below the girls' waists large, bronze fish-like tails stood in place of their legs.
Chris' heart stopped a beat, his arms falling along with his body. He stood still, as if frozen in time, eyes locked onto three mermaids in the small pool. Nothing less would he expect of May and Destiny; he always found them kind of weird and freakish. But Melissa… no, that wasn't her! He went out with her, hung out with her. They kissed, told jokes to each other, and actually liked each other. He might've been a bastard for using Melissa, but there was something in him that always thought of her being a great girl. That something hoped that she had no part in all of that, that everything was just May, Destiny and Dyson's twisted plan in which Melissa had no involvement.
But he was wrong. So very, very wrong. Melissa was a part of everything and even if he wanted to, there was nothing he could do for her now. She got herself into that mess by her own actions.
"What the… You're… you're..." Silvana muttered, unable to find the right words that would describe just what was in front of her. All the things that came to her mind sounded unreal, like something out of a comic book. And comic books were the last things a scientist should use as source of information.
Three mermaids frowned, their faces bearing pained, scared expressions. It has happened. It has finally happened. They've been exposed – and to none other than a scientist who happened to be their bitchy chemistry teacher. There was no out of it now. Even if they somehow managed to make a run for it and tell everyone Silvana and Chris are crazy, those two would always know the truth. Nothing was stopping them from running to other scientists or people that specialize in magical beings – and if that happened, the girls would be in an even bigger mess.
"Stay right where you are", ordered Silvana through clenched teeth.
The three girls barely managed to suppress laughter. Did she really think she was in a position to order them around? Who did she think she was? Nobody gave them orders, not even their parents. What made Silvana think they would listen to her? She was nobody to them and had no right to tell them what to do.
"My, I thought that boat thing yesterday would teach you manners. I guess I was wrong", May commented, shrugging.
Silvana's face was red with fury. "You did that?"
May frowned, a look of disbelief on her face. "Who else? Get real, lady. I could've killed right there and no one would know. I wanted to, actually. You can thank my friends here that you're still alive. They didn't let me go through with my plan, but I swear, if they weren't there to stop me, you'd be shark food by now. So show some gratitude!"
"How could you do that?" This time it was Chris. He looked scared; May wouldn't be surprised if he pissed his pants right there at that exact moment. He was seriously frightened. Those three girls were not only fish, but could do things no ordinary human could. They were dangerous; too dangerous to exist. May should have been ashamed of her actions. Instead, there she was looking all proud of what she had done. She almost killed him, for heaven's sake!
"I think it's us that should be asking you that", Destiny retorted.
He immediately looked down in shame. Suddenly, a screeching sound was heard. It seemed to be coming from under the water and the girls were knew that now was the time to run – or in their case swim – for their lives. Giving Chris and Silvana one last deadly glare, they dove under the water and went to swim out.
Only to face thick metallic bars blocking their exit.
Panicking, May grabbed the bars and began to hit them with her fists. No, this wasn't how it was going to end! Silvana wasn't going to get them. She'll never have their tails. I'll get out, she told herself, her every following blow stronger and angrier. We'll all get out. She noticed Destiny and Melissa hitting the bars as well and kept on throwing punches. At one point, the girls tried using their powers, but to no avail – the bars were too strong for their magic to break them.
May's heart beat faster and faster, panic completely taking her over. She was trembling, shaking with fear; the only thing that kept her from crying was the fact that she was underwater.
She kept punching the bars, ignoring the pain in her hands. Not even horrible, bleeding cuts stood in her way of getting away from those horrible people.
Seeing their friend's bloody, injured hands, Melissa and Destiny pulled her into a hug, holding her tight against their bodies. Even though they couldn't say anything, May knew exactly what they wanted to tell her – that it's futile to keep on hitting the bars and that Silvana and her science buddies aren't worth her injuries.
The girls resurfaced, once again facing their teacher and classmate, but this time there was an addition – a man in his early forties stood by Silvana, arms crossed over his chest, his eyes inspecting the three mermaids with curiosity.
"Allow me to introduce my husband", Silvana said, pointing her manicured finger at the strange man. "This is Arturo."
"Howdy", he greeted them with a fake smile, winking at them in a seductive way.
Destiny made a disgusted face, suddenly ashamed to be in front of those three having nothing but scaled top covering her breasts. How dare that man wink at them like that? How dare he look happy, when they were in so much pain? She could only hope that once the roles would be reversed and those three would be caged in the moon pool, while she, May and Melissa look at them in a threatening way, pleased with the misery they're causing them.
As if she was reading Destiny's mind, May looked at her two friends, her eyes filled with tears she bravely held back. The two knew right away what their friend was about to do and they instantly nodded at her, approving of her actions.
Suddenly May raised her hand and twisted it left and right. Following her order, a ball of water the size of a basketball rose up from the moon pool. Then Melissa straightened her hand, freezing the ball, shooting Silvana, Chris and Arturo one last glare before curving her lips into a smile.
Clenching her teeth, May sent the ball at Silvana, aiming right between her eyes. The woman dodged in the last moment, falling to the rocky ground. Arturo quickly went to her side, while Chris glared at the girls, fear written all over his face.
May returned the glare, smirking as she waved her finger in front of him in a threatening way. She knew that Silvana would die had the frozen water ball hit her, but she felt no remorse. In fact, she wanted her to die! She wanted her to feel her pain, wanted her to suffer. And the moment she glared at Chris, she found herself wishing the same things for him. He betrayed them to that woman, lied to them, manipulated Melissa. No one does that to May and her friends and gets away with it, and Chris was no exception.
Just as she was about to send another ball of water at the three, Silvana spoke up, her hands above her head in a surrendering way. "Wait! Please, just let us explain."
The mermaids looked at one another and nodded. May lowered her hand and turned all her attention to her teacher. This better be something good, or else she was ready to send a bigger ball at the woman; and this there'd be no time to dodge.
"We can work together, girls", Silvana continue. "It doesn't have to be this way. You can help us and we can help you. Together we could reach a common goal."
Destiny raised an eyebrow. "A common goal? You and we have no common goals. All you three clowns think about is money and fame and whatnot. We, on the other hand, only want to be left alone. I see no common goal there."
"I'm sure we could work something out. I mean, don't you girls want to know what happens when you transform? Don't you want to earn a lot of money and live work-free for your whole lives? Think about it. You're mermaids. This is the discovery of a century. If we joined forces, we'd be unstoppable. No one would ever be able to compare to us. All those people would be beneath us if only we worked together."
May rolled her eyes. This whole thing has really started to get on her nerves. All she wanted was to go home, get some rest, watch The Vampire Diaries and get her mind off all the things that happened to her. "First of all", she said, as if pointing out something obvious to the whole world, "we already know what happens when we transform – we grown a tail. Second, we don't want anything from you – especially not your money – and third, we'll never, ever work with you."
"She's right", Melissa agreed. She shot Chris an accusing glare. "Let's face it, Silvana – you're beneath us. All three of you are beneath us. So we're telling you now: leave us alone or we'll have to make you. And I promise you, it won't be pretty."
All happiness left Silvana's face. She was angry, furious at those three girls. She's never seen such stupid, mouthy teenagers in her life and she's worked at all kinds of schools for almost twenty years. Those three thought that they could outsmart her, bully her into giving all of her research up. But they were wrong. So very, very wrong. She was older than them, smarter, wiser. There was nothing those three could do to make her change her mind about experimenting on them. She tried giving them a chance to cooperate, but they were too stupid to even consider her offers.
Even if they changed their minds, it was too late now. She will keep up with her research and they will be the guinea pigs, whether they like it or not. She tried to talk them into doing things the easy way, but they were obviously into the hard one.
"Arturo, let's go get our equipment. Chris, would you be so kind to watch those three while we're away?" she said in her sweetest voice.
Chris nodded, still shaken by recent discoveries. After the two left, he kneeled before the moon pool and took a look at three sad, hurt mermaids. "Wha-how? I don't… I can't…"
"Just shut up, Chris! You've already done enough", scolded Melissa.
"But how? I mean, it's not like this… this is…" Chris muttered, unsure what to say. He was so sure about this, so confident that he will finally find out what that tail that saved him was. But now that everything came out, he wasn't so sure he wanted to know. Destiny and May were nice girls. Strange, but nice. And Melissa… she was special to him, so sweet and innocent like a child. He used her to get what he wanted and now he just kneeled there, watching her with sadness in his eyes. He never thought he'd feel this way. He wasn't even sure what that strange feeling was. Was it pain? Guilt? Shame? All of that combined?
"And I trusted you", Melissa commented.
"I thought you were cute", May said, making a disgusted face.
"We tried setting Melissa up with you", Destiny continued. "How could you? She believed in you. She even defended you against us. I never thought anyone could be this arrogant, but I guess I was wrong. You win the golden medal for talking believable bullshit."
"I'm…" he tried to apologize, but words were stuck in his throat. Why would he apologize anyway? They got into this mess all by themselves! He had no part in it…
Only he had. He used Melissa, went to Silvana, led her to them. This wasn't their fault. It was his! And at that exact moment he decided to do something about it because if he hadn't, he wouldn't be able to live with himself. His parents always taught him that he should respect everyone no matter what color their skin was, where they were from, what they did and didn't believe in or what their sexual orientation was. They taught him to treat everyone with equal respect, saying that if he didn't want to be discriminated, so don't other people.
And right now that's exactly what he was doing. He was discriminating those girls, helping Silvana and Arturo lock them and probably dissect them later. He had to do something about it, but he wasn't sure what. He knew that they will never forgive him for what he had done to them, but he wanted to at least try to make it up to them.
"I'm so, so sorry", he finally apologized.
"Don't. Just don't", Melissa said, not accepting his apology. "Do you seriously think that one 'I'm sorry' will fix everything? Look around, Chris. You've done the damage! Sorry doesn't fix this! Sorry doesn't make those bars go away! Sorry doesn't make Silvana and what's-his-name leave us alone! Sorry doesn't erase all those things you did to me!"
"Can I at least try to make it up to you?" Chris pleaded.
Melissa seemed to consider it. "You want to?"
He nodded his head. "Yes! I'll do anything you ask me to. Anything, really! All you have to do is ask and it'll be done."
"Okay", Melissa said. She swam closer to him, looking him right in the eye. Their faces were only inches away from one another, their noses almost touching. Melissa pouted her lips, took a small breath and spoke in slow, seductive tone: "I. Want. You. To. Go. To. Hell." With that she burst into laughter. May and Destiny were quick to join in.
Chris was left speechless. Without another word he got up to his feet and exited the cave, enjoying the afternoon sun that lightened up the island. Melissa was right. He really should go to hell after everything he had done. He deserved to be punished. He deserved to be hated by everyone.
But even though Melissa despised him, he refused to give up. He had to help her and the girls somehow. He was out of ideas at the moment, but he was sure he could think something up if he only sat somewhere quiet and thought things through.
Maybe I could steal Silvana's boat, he thought to himself, but instantly ditched the idea. He had no idea how to drive that thing and even if he did, it was too dangerous to even consider it. He had to think of something else.
"Hey!" Silvana's voice shook him out of his thoughts. She handed the equipment she was carrying to Arturo and went over to Chris. "Are you alright? Did they hurt you?"
He shook his head. He considered telling her that maybe this wasn't such a good idea, that those girls could be set free and that the whole thing could be completely forgotten. He wanted to tell her that he wanted no part in it anymore. He wanted her to know how much pain all that was causing him, how his heart was breaking into millions of tiny pieces watching Melissa all helpless in that pool.
But he knew he had to keep quiet. Silvana might be nice now, but if she thought that Chris might turn his back on her, she'd go psycho and dangerous just like she went on the girls. So he had to keep pretending to be on her side. He had to let her know that she could still trust him.
"I hate them", he said firmly. "They're freaks of nature. They shouldn't exist. I can't stand to watch them. They disgust me." He swallowed, hard. It pained him so much to say those hateful words, but if he wanted it to be believable, she had to be convinced of his utter hatred of them.
"I understand, Chris. They're abominations of nature. Their kind… you're completely right, they should not exist. There's no place for them in this world. They have to be locked up and tested. You saw what that brat did to us yesterday. They're too dangerous to outside of the laboratory", Silvana said. Her voice was so motherly, so protective, so full of kindness that Chris almost felt sorry for deciding to betray her. But he knew better than that. No matter how nice or sweet she was to him, he had already made the decision to help the girls.
"They're terrible", he muttered.
Silvana nodded at him and patted his shoulder. "Why don't you wait for us to finish here? You can go out for a walk to calm down. Or you could go rest on the boat. How does that sound, sweetheart?"
"You're right. I'll go to the boat, maybe watch some TV, if that's okay with you."
"I think that's a great idea!" Silvana turned to him, giving him one last smile before slipping down the tunnel into the cave.
Yeah, really a great idea, Chris thought as he walked toward the beach where the boat was left. He knew what he had to do. There was a person that could help the girls. He was certain that that person would know what to do in a situation like this. After all, he was their closes friend.
Chris took out his cellphone and dialed the number.
"Hello?" spoke the voice on the other end of the line.
"Hi, Dyson. It's Chris."
Dyson was quiet for a few short moments, probably wondering if he should hang up. "What do you want?" he finally said. Chris gulped. He'd never imagined Dyson could sound so irritated, so annoyed. Dyson was always sweet and docile, never angry at someone. When someone so nice spoke to him like that, Chris knew his actions were wrong.
"I've done something! I've done something bad! Please, help me make it right!" he pleaded, desperate for someone to help him make things right again.
"Calm down", Dyson told him, taking a deep breath. "What did you do?"
"I…" He hesitated for a moment. He knew Dyson will be pissed when he hears about what he had done. Hell, he was pissed at himself for being stupid and screwing everything. Without his stupid curiosity, none of this would have happened. "I teamed up with Silvana and… and…" his voice was breaking, shattering like fragile glass. Tears were threatening to spill from his eyes, but he held them back. He couldn't cry now. Girls needed his help and he wouldn't be able to help them if he broke down. "The girls are locked on Ooha'oma, in some strange cave with a pool. Listen, I-I know that they're mermaids. Silvana also knows. S-she wants t-to hurt them. Please, help me. Help them! I'm begging you to do something."
"You what?" Dyson shrieked, almost making Chris drop his phone. "Melissa saved you and this is how you repay her? Ungrateful bastard, that's what you are!"
Chris' eyes widened in surprise. Melissa saved him? That tail he saw that night… it belonged to Melissa? All of this time he was hunting that thing, constantly thinking about it, imagining it in all shapes and sizes, only to discover it was in front of him the whole time. Not it – her! She was kind, noble, sweet. She saved him, despite the fact that she risked her secret by doing so. And what did he do in return? Instead of thanking her, he joined forces with Silvana and hunted her and her friends down. How could he be so stupid? He'd never felt more guilty in his whole life.
"I know I deserved that. I know I was an asshole and that I hurt Melissa and the girls. You can insult me all you want, but right now, I really need your help. I don't know what to do."
Dyson sighed. "Okay, okay. Let's think this through. I need more details. When you said that they're locked, what did you mean by that? Are they chained? Caged maybe?"
Chris shook his head, and then realized that Dyson can't see him. "There are bars blocking the entrance to the pool."
"Okay. Great. I think I have an idea. I'll be there in a ten minutes. Tell the girls to prepare to leave."
"Thank you, Dyson. Thank you so much!"
"I'm doing this for them, Chris" Dyson told him. "Not for you."
-H2O-
Melissa rested her head on May's shoulder, squeezing her hand and trying her hardest not to cry. Chris or Silvana or that third guy could come back at any minute and she had no intention of letting them know they had managed to break her. She wasn't that short, sweet, innocent little girl anymore. Now she was strong, powerful, with amazing supernatural powers. She was a mermaid, species that was believed to have no soul, no heart, only the desire to kill and destroy.
Maybe those beliefs were right. Maybe she should just let herself go, get lost in the power that pumped through her veins. Maybe she should let the ocean take her away; away from all the suffering; away from everything bad and horrible; away from hurt and betrayal; away from life in general.
When she first became a mermaid, the first thing that came to her mind was how cool it all was. Then came the powers and adventures with her friends. She'd never had more fun in her life than she did after she became a mermaid. Everything seemed so easy now, she amazing and wonderful. Being a mermaid allowed her to see the world as a better place with lots of beautiful features and creatures.
And now all of that was falling apart. They were stupid to do that project. They shouldn't have done that. If they hadn't, Silvana would still be their perky, nice new teacher with a heart of gold. But maybe it was all destiny; maybe seeing Silvana's real face was something they were fated to do.
"I suggest we fight", Destiny said in a serious voice, shaking Melissa out of her thoughts.
May instantly agreed to it, thinking about all the things she could do to Silvana and her lackeys with her powers. She could drown them, take control of their blood and make them her slaves or – the last idea was her personal favorite – she could make them bleed from their eyes, ears, mouth and nose, enjoying the sound of their pained screams and pleads.
Melissa, however, was a bit reluctant. Yes, she wanted revenge and yes, those three definitely deserved it, but no matter how much she'd loved causing them pain, she couldn't stand the fact that their list of people to get revenge on included Chris. Despite the fact that he used her, manipulated her, hurt her feelings, lied to her, and led Silvana to her and the girls, there was still something deep inside of her that hated every thought of hurting him.
Didn't he apologize just a few minutes ago? Didn't he offer to make things right again? She's seen him lying countless of times and she could guarantee that this time he was telling the truth. Melissa was sure that she saw the tears in his eyes; tears that he bravely held back. Maybe he really did change; maybe he truly wanted to help her and the girls and get them out of that mess.
And what did she do when he offered help? She sent him to hell and laughed at his saddened face.
"I think-" Melissa started, but was cut off by Arturo entering the cave, carrying an armful of his and his wife's equipment and gadgets. Not long after him Silvana came down and sent the girls and accusing glare. She seemed angry, furious at them from some unknown reason, but despite all that, Melissa could have sworn she saw a spark of jealousy in her teacher's eyes.
She immediately told May and Destiny about it, only for May to say: "Of course she's jealous. We're mermaids with ass-kicking powers and she's only human. I too would be jealous of us."
"Maybe we can use this to our advantage", Destiny suggested.
Melissa wasn't so fond of that idea. "No way. If we taunt her, she'll only get angrier. Who knows what she could do."
The other two mermaids found her explanation reasonable and nodded, agreeing to keep quiet.
"What are you three whispering about?" Silvana spoke, causing the mermaids to flinch. The chemistry teacher was smiling, obviously satisfied that she managed to startle them.
"We were just discussing about what place would be the best to dump the body without it being found in a loooong time", Destiny replied cockily.
Silvana chuckled. "You're funny, I give you that. Annoying, but funny." But then her expression darkened. "You do know that you will never go outside again, right? So I suggest you get used to small places, because the place you'll be locked up at is one of them!"
Arturo smirked at his wife's words and proudly exclaimed: "Yeah!"
"Shut the fuck up!" May suddenly shouted. She put her hand up in the air, her palm pointed at the two scientists in a threatening way. She was sick of that woman's attitude; sick of her constant threats and orders. Didn't she realize that they were – though only partly – human too? Didn't she know that they too had feelings that could get hurt?
"Now, now. Let's not do something we'll all regret", Silvana tried to reason with a vengeful mermaid, her hands up in the air in a surrendering way. She did her best not to sound angry or patronizing; the last thing she needed was for the mermaid to go all psycho and crazy like she did the day before.
"Oh, there's nothing I'll regret", May said. "The only ones regretting anything will be the two of you."
"Put your hand down, girl", Arturo ordered.
His words only made May angrier.
"Let's get something straight, dude. You're in no position to give me orders. With one twist of my hand I could make you explode from inside out and I can promise you that you would still be alive afterwards just so I could hear you scream. You'd beg me to kill you, beg me to stop the pain, but I wouldn't move a finger to help you. You know why? Because I love causing people pain. So don't play smart with me. Now get down here and unlock the goddamn bars!"
"Not gonna happen. Listen, may, Melissa, Destiny. You're threatening us, but I'm sure you don't want to dirty your hands by committing murder", Silvana reasoned again and like last time, it was to no avail.
"Actually, we're pretty comfortable with the idea of killing you", Destiny said with a straight face. "Think about it. We kill you, dump the bodies in the ocean, in a few days parts of you wash up on some beach – but not the whole bodies because sharks eat what they find delicious – and some tourist finds you. The police find your boat in the middle of the ocean and voilá – the whole thing gets ruled out as a diving accident."
Silvana seemed terrified by this. The girls have obviously planned the whole thing out and there was nothing she could do to get herself and her husband out of this. Unless… She smirked, proud that she came up with such a brilliant idea.
"You do that and you'll never find your friend Dyson again."
Now it was time for the mermaids to be scared. Silvana had Dyson? She couldn't possibly do that. She wouldn't dare touch him. Yes, she wanted this mermaid project of hers to work, but she wouldn't go as far as to kidnap Dyson. Would she?
"You didn't!" May said through clenched teeth. For a moment she considered putting her hand down, but decided to keep it in the air. Who knew what Silvana was capable of? Dyson could have been safe and sound doing his homework in his room. He could have been freely swimming in the ocean, diving, picking up all kinds of shells and taking pictures of sea animals.
But he also could have been locked up somewhere, alone and afraid, tortured for information about them. The thought of that sickened May. She wanted to see him, touch his hand, hold him in her arms more than anything in the world. Screw her secret, screw everything!
If Silvana had done something to him, she would pay. Big time.
"Oh, yes, I did." The scientist and her husband burst into laughter. "Before you do something stupid, think of your poor friend. All sad and injured, locked up in a small room, running out of air… tortured because you were too stupid to keep your anger to yourself."
"You bitch!" May spat. She stretched out her hand, eyes fixated at Silvana. The teacher instantly fell to her knees, hugging herself. Her screams of pain echoed in the cave, so loud, agonizing.
"Don't!" Destiny shrieked and grabbed May's hand, forcefully putting it down in the water. Silvana breathed out and quickly got to her feet, Arturo by her side.
"Des is right, May", Melissa said.
May burst into tears. "She has Dyson", she sobbed. "She's hurting him. I can't let her get away with that."
"But if we kill her, he might die as well. Who knows where she locked him", Melissa explained.
"I hate her, Mel. I hate her!" May exclaimed. "I want her to die. I want her to suffer. I hate that bitch!"
Two mermaids pulled their crying friend into a hug, whispering comforting words into her ear.
Without another word May dove under the water, leaving the two mermaids alone on the surface. The two shot Silvana and Arturo angry glares, hoping that they would see the error in their ways, but the two scientists kept laughing, obviously not affected by May's tears.
Destiny clenched her fists, barely holding back the urge to use her powers. How could those people be so cruel? How could they torture them so much? They've done nothing to them to deserve all that.
Silvana and Arturo used the awkward moment of silence to set up their equipment. The teacher then turned to the girls and asked in a mocking tone: "So which one would like to be first? Come on, don't be shy."
The mermaids at glared at her. If she wanted to get them out of the moon pool, she'd have to use force. Because there was no way they were willingly getting out.
-H2O-
May dove all over to the bottom of the pool, where she sat, resting her head against the rock. She stared at metallic bars that blocked her way to freedom, a mix of feelings boiling inside of her. Anger, sadness, rage, hurt, pride raved through her body, breaking her down and pulling her together at the same time. She always thought of herself as strong, independent person. Whenever bullies hurt her or took advantage of her when she was little, there was little light in her heart telling her she'd be strong once, so strong she'll be able to fight them off.
And the light was right. She became a mermaid; a strong, powerful, courageous creature, beautiful and graceful, unique in her own way. No one could touch her now without paying for it. Not even her parents could stop her now. She had the power now, she was in charge of herself, of her life, of her body.
Or so she thought.
Everything was great and then Silvana just had to come and ruin it all for her. May crossed her arms over her chest, digging her nails into the skin on her shoulders, trying her hardest not to break. But why bother? She was already broken, already in pieces. Silvana had managed to break her down, tear her up inside until nothing was left but empty, meaningless shell, a shadow of her past, happy self.
She wanted Dyson here so badly. She wanted him to come up behind her and kiss her, assure her that everything will be okay. She wanted him to wake her up and tell her that this was all a bad dream and that everything would be okay.
But she was old enough to know that those were all just fantasies. Dyson won't come; she'll be locked up forever. Her boyfriend will be tortured and left to die somewhere in the middle of the ocean. If he's lucky, his injuries will kill him before sharks get to him and rip his body to shreds.
May closed her eyes, burying her head into her hands, fed up with everything. She wanted it all to end and if she could, she would end it herself at that exact moment. She thought about killing herself before – it wouldn't be that hard.
Suddenly, a hand touched her shoulder and she forced herself to open her eyes. She saw Dyson on the other side of the bars, smiling and waving at her. All hard feelings went away in an instant. Seeing his face made her happier than when she watched Elena and Damon kiss on The Vampire Diaries – when she saw that scene, she began to jump around the house in excitement. The only thing that kept her from jumping right now was her tail.
She reached out and took Dyson's hand, gently caressing it with her fingers. She leaned in to him and kissed his lips, her hand caressing his cheek. She wanted him to hold her, hug her forever, until the end of days, but she saw in his eyes that he wouldn't stay for long. In his hand was a large metallic chain. He began to wrap it around the bars and May, realizing what he wanted to do, instantly offered her help.
Together the two lovers wrapped the chain around the bars, tightening it to be sure it wouldn't break. Engaging into one last, passionate kiss, the two parted. Dyson swam up, leaving May locked behind the bars, his kiss promising that soon he will set her free.
A few minutes have passed in peace. May wondered if Dyson was in some kind of trouble. After all, there were sharks around Ooha'oma, along with other dangerous animal species. What if one of the got to him? What if he was already dead?
She was shaken out of her thoughts when she noticed that she chain around the bars tensed. It began to pull them with all the force it could muster. Dyson! May thought. She got a few inches away from the bars and spread out her hand, activating her power and ordering it to push the bars. Dyson might not be strong enough to pull them away; his boat might not have enough force to do it, so May decided to help.
And finally, after ten torturous minutes, the lock that held the bars snapped. The chain pulled the bars away. May smiled at her and Dyson's success. She and the girls were now finally free to go!
She turned around and lightly hit her friends' tails, signaling them that their way to freedom is finally opened.
-H2O-
"Come on, girls. Don't be shy. I don't bite, I swear", Silvana spoke in a fake sweet voice.
"Well, not out of bedroom anyway", Arturo commented and both him and his wife burst into laughter.
Melissa and Destiny frowned, disgusted by the couple's comments. It was bad enough that they were stuck with them in the moon pool; now they had to listen to their romance stories. If they wanted bad romance, they'd go home and read Twilight, which at the moment seemed much more pleasant than the two scientists before them.
Then a strange noise was heard, startling all four of them. The two mermaids felt May's hands on their tails and looked at each other. That only means one thing – they were free to go away from those horrible people.
"What the-" Silvana muttered.
Destiny and Melissa smiled at her, provoking her anger, and then dove under the water. Along with May, they swam their way to freedom, which never felt as great as it did now.
Silvana and Arturo were left growling, their anger towards the mermaids growing.
-H2O-
May, Melissa and Destiny dried off at the beach near May's house. May had already told them everything about Dyson and his saving spree. All three of them made mental notes to thank him as soon as they see him; Destiny even considered giving him a hug, but her being her, that idea was dismissed as soon as it came. There was no way she was hugging Dyson. Her sarcasm was rivaling Dyson's intelligence. It's always been that way and always will be. No hugging or snuggly feelings.
Just as they were about t enter May's house, the girls heard their names being called and turned around, facing a smiling Dyson. May ran to him and pulled him into a hug, pressing her lips to his, leaning into a passionate kiss. Melissa giggled at the sight of two cheerful lovers and even Destiny managed to pop out a smile, despite the fact that she was usually disgusted by their kisses.
"Thank you so much! I'd never make it without you!" May said, resting her head on his chest.
"Correction: we'd never make it without you", Melissa said and ran up to Dyson, giving him a hug.
Destiny just nodded at him and thanked him; he was about to hug her, but in the last minute they decided that it would be too awkward for them so they shook hands instead.
"How did you know?" May asked him.
"Chris told me", Dyson replied. Seeing the girls' shocked expressions, he added: "I know. I could hardly believe that too. But he called and said that you were in danger, so I came to help you out. In fact, he drove here with me. I left him in the marina. He wanted to come with me to see you guys, but I told him to go away."
"You did the right thing", Destiny voiced her approval of his actions. "If I saw him here, I'd burn him to a crisp. Good thing he listened to you."
"Maybe he's changed", Melissa said.
May's eyes widened at her friend's statement. "Maybe he's changed? Mel, he sold us out to that woman. He worked with her against us. He used you. Have you forgotten about that?"
"I know, I know. But still… he apologized to me. He went as far to get Dyson to help us. Maybe he wants to make it up to us."
"Maybe this is some sort of a game he and Silvana are playing. You know, make us think we're safe and then poof, freedom, off you go", Destiny said.
Dyson shook his head. "I think Melissa is right. I know what Chris did, but I feel sorry for the guy. He was crying the whole way back. Silvana called him and he told her that some things are more important than money and fame. He obviously wants to change."
"Let's forget about Chris for a moment. We have more important things to worry about", May said. "What do we do with Silvana?"
Destiny raised her hand. "I suggest we kill her."
"I'm with you on that one", May agreed, raising her hand as well. "Anyone else for killing Silvana, raise your hand."
She expected Dyson to scold her and Destiny for even thinking about killing their teacher, but instead his, just as the two of them, raised his hand, nodding approvingly at the two girls. May smiled at him and kissed his cheek. Finally she and he agree on something.
Destiny looked at Melissa. "Mel?"
Melissa shook her head. "I don't know guys. How about we visit my grandma? She'd know what to do. She always does."
"I think that's an even better idea", Dyson said. "What do you think, girls?"
Destiny shrugged and agreed, having nothing to lose if she asked the old lady for advice. After all, Rose Tanner – Melissa's grandma – used to be a mermaid once. A few months ago she told them a story about how she lost her powers during a special Moon because some boys found out about her and her friend. Destiny was ready for both the good and the bad news. There was no special Moon tonight, meaning no power losing, so she was pretty much safe in that department. She wondered what the old lady will tell them to do.
May, on the other hand, objected to it. Now that she knew that Dyson was safe and that Silvana had lied to them about holding him captive, there was nothing stopping her and the girls from killing their teacher and that idiot of her husband. If they used their powers, no one would ever link the murders to them. Sure, at first the bodies would look strange, but eventually the whole thing would be ruled out as an accident.
"May, why kill people if there's another way? We can at least listen to all the possibilities and then decide", Dyson said.
May was about to argue with that, but seeing hurt in his eyes, he muttered an: "Okay", though she was still against visiting Melissa's grandma. She knew that that visit would end with a disaster, but she didn't say anything. If they wanted to listen to the old lady preaching to them for half an hour, then fine, but they shouldn't expect her to agree with everything Rose Tanner said. She said that out loud, making herself clear and her friends, having no other options, agreed to her ultimatum.
The walk to Melissa's grandma's apartment was long. For about an hour the mermaids and Dyson walked around, turning around every few minutes to make sure no one was following them. The streets were, as usual, busy, with tourists roaming around at almost every corner. The walk finally came to an end when Melissa and Destiny recognized the apartment building they visited a few months ago, when they needed Melissa's grandma's help and advice about what to do with May, who had been having problems with that bully Luke Olsen. A few minutes later, the group found the old woman's apartment and, after she kindly let them in, explained everything that was going on.
Melissa expected her grandma to be upset or at least scold them for being so reckless, but instead Rose smiled at them, nodding her head. She had made them all coffee and sat with them in the living room, carefully listening to their stories and thinking about things to be said.
"Murder isn't the answer, girls", Rose advised. Taking a look at Dyson, she quickly added: "And boys", making him smile. "You're too young to even think of such a thing, yet alone do it."
"Then what can we do? That woman is dangerous. It's not like we have any other way", Destiny said.
"We're out of ideas. Please, help us, grandma", Melissa begged.
Rose took her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. "There are other ways, yes."
Melissa beamed. "Really? Like what?"
"Yes, please share, Mrs. Tanner", said Destiny.
May was quiet for the whole time. Ever since they got there she sat in the corner of the couch, calm, staring wide-eyes into empty space. It was their entire fault that it has come down to this. If she and Destiny hadn't thought about using their powers for that stupid project of theirs, and if Melissa hadn't agreed to it, Silvana wouldn't get suspicious of them. But no! They wanted an easy A. How could they be so stupid? They should've known from the start that no things in life are easy, no matter if it's getting an A in Chemistry or holding the spoon and eating the right way.
"Remember the story I once told you?" Rose asked them.
Destiny rolled her eyes. "You've told us lots of stories, Mrs. Tanner. You're going to have to be a little bit more specific."
"The one about how my friend told her boyfriend about being a mermaid and he and his friends went after us?"
"Oh, right. That one", Melissa said. Then she realized what her grandma was saying. "No way."
"You mean-you want us to-" Destiny mumbled, unsure what to say.
Rose nodded at them. "Tonight's a very special Moon, girls."
"No, it's not", Destiny was quick to point that out. She was one hundred percent sure that tonight's Moon was just ordinary, normal looking full Moon. Nothing strange or different about it. Nothing at all. She refused to believe that.
"Actually, it is", Dyson said as realization hit him. "Tonight's a lunar eclipse."
"Meaning?" Melissa questioned. Please, don't say that. Please! I'm begging you, don't say what I think you want to say, she thought to herself, squeezing her grandma's hand.
"Lunar eclipse takes away a mermaid's powers forever", Rose explained.
That's got May's attention. She pointed her look at Rose, furious sparks in her eyes. "Not gonna happen", she stated. She wasn't losing her powers just for the sake of Silvana. There was no way in hell that was happening. She'd rather die than give her powers up just for Silvana to leave them alone.
"Think about it. Without your powers, those people will want nothing to do with you", Rose said.
Melissa released her hand. "But grandma…"
"How could you ever ask that from us?" Destiny spat. "This mermaid thing is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I finally got over my fear of water, I have superpowers other people can only dream to have and now you want me to just give that all up? No freakin' way."
"There has to be another way", Melissa said, desperate for her grandma to say she was only giving one of a few possible options.
But that never happened. Rose kept quiet, afraid to hurt her granddaughter's feelings even more.
"Please, grandma", Melissa pleaded; tears streaming down her pale cheeks. "Tell me there is another way. Tell me there are other options. Tell me something, goddamnit! Don't just sit there. Say something! Say it! Say!" Broken, she laid her hand on her grandma's lap, crying and sobbing uncontrollably. Rose petted her granddaughter's hair, whispering comforting words into her ear.
Destiny went over to the window, tears in her own eyes. She couldn't remember when the last time she cried was. She must have been six or seven or maybe even younger. I wasn't in character of her to cry. She was always the strong one, the stoic of the group, the one that just shrugs everything off with a simple: "Whatever."
She hoped that Rose wouldn't say that their powers have to go away, but she was wrong. She wasn't safe; her powers weren't safe. They were a few hours away from being gone forever. After everything she and the girls have gone through, they couldn't just give up their powers as if they're throwing away an old piece of clothing. This secret was sacred to them, something that made them special, unique, different than others. When someone called them a freak, they could gladly thank them as it wasn't an insult anymore – they were freaks and damn proud of it.
But now they had to become normal again. The same as everyone else: boring, ordinary, powerless, usual girls next door. And Destiny hated even thinking about it.
"No way! I'm not giving up my powers! Forget about it!" May exclaimed. She got to her feet and went out the door, angrily slamming it behind her with so much force that the walls shook for a moment. She was heard mumbling all kinds of swear words and insults directed to Silvana and Arturo, as well as Chris, whom she called an "egg-headed, attention-seeking little dipstick."
Dyson apologized to Rose for May's behavior and ran after her. He found her by the apartment building's exit doors, leaned against the wall and crying her eyes out. Deciding that words would do more harm than good, he pulled her into a hug, wrapping his arms around her. She returned the hug, leaning her head against his chest, crying into his shirt.
"Shhh, it'll be okay", Dyson whispered. He wiped the tears from her eyes and kissed her cheek, gently rubbing her back. "You're gonna be fine. Everything's gonna be fine."
"I can't", she sobbed. "I-I don't wanna lose my powers."
"There is no other way, May", Dyson said.
She shook her head. "I w-want t-to k-kill her. I-I want her t-to die. She… it… I can't…" She buried her head into his hest again, trembling.
Dyson put his arms around her once again, holding her close to him. "You can't kill her, sweetie. You can't kill anyone. It's not right."
"And what she's doing to us… that's right?"
"I'm not saying that. All I'm saying is that killing people is wrong. Yes, I was all for it, but think about it, May. If you kill her, you'll spend your whole life knowing you took another life. You'll always worry about someone finding out about you. Whenever you see the police, you'll cross the street. Living in constant fear… that isn't like you, May. You can't do that to yourself. I can't let you do that."
May looked him straight into the yes, tears streaking down her cheeks. "I don't want to lose my powers", she sniffled.
He nodded at her. "I know, sweetie. I know."
He gently kissed her forehead and took her hands into his, smiling at her. She returned the smile and nodded at him. He nodded back and gave her one more reassuring hug. No matter how sad she was, he'd always be there for her. He promised her that. Powers or not, she'd always have him. He'd never leave her side, especially not now when she needed him the most.
-H2O-
May, Melissa and Destiny stood before the moon pool, their eyes fixated at the sparkly blue water. That was it. The end has finally come. Just a few more minutes and everything they ever loved and enjoyed will go away forever.
The girls took one another's hands, their legs shaky and their eyes teary. They thought that the hardest thing in the world will be high school, but they were horribly wrong – there was nothing harder than giving up the magic they loved and enjoyed for the last four months, the magic that guided and protected them, that made them the persons they were today.
Without magic, May would still be that chubby loser everyone at school made fun of, the girl who couldn't stand up for herself no matter how many times her friends talked to her and encouraged her. Melissa would still be that naïve, innocent little girl no one ever took seriously, not even her parents. Destiny would still be scared of water, she wouldn't even touch the ocean with her foot, how scared it made her feel.
"Guys", Melissa spoke, breaking the awkward silence. "What will you miss the most?"
"I'll miss my powers", May said.
"I'll miss swimming and having fun with you guys. It was the best thing ever", Melissa added with a sad smile.
Destiny nodded. "I'll miss it all."
The three looked at the cone of the volcano, where the pale moon was already being seen. Nodding, the girls squeezed one another's hands and stepped toward the moon pool, ready to jump in.
Only for two heads to dive out.
The mermaids watched in shock and Silvana and Arturo dove out and quickly went out of the moon pool, each blocking the girls' exit. Not that they wanted to escape, of course.
"I thought you'd be here", Silvana said.
Destiny scoffed. That woman was so full of herself that it was unbelievable.
"Just listen to us. We don't want to hurt you."
"I wish we could say the same", Destiny said. She looked at her friends. "What do you say? One last time?"
The two nodded.
"Prepare for trouble!" May smirked.
"And make it double!" Melissa accompanied her, giggling at the joke. "I've always wanted to say that."
Without another word May raised her hand and a big ball of water rose from the moon pool. Destiny instantly reacted, stretching her arm out and clenching her fists. May hurled the heated ball of water at Silvana, who shrieked out in pain as the heat hurt her skin, the force of the blow sending her flying into the wall.
Angry that they dared to hurt his wife, Arturo ran towards the girls, but Melissa was ready for him. Straightening her palm, she froze his wet clothing, the pain of ice squeezing his skin and throwing him to the ground.
"Stop!" Silvana exclaimed. Her skin was red and sore and she barely kept her balance as the pain still pumped through her body. "Look, I know how you did that project of yours."
"Do we get an A now?" Melissa asked, looking her straight into the eye.
"No, listen! We could work together! Why don't you reconsider?"
"Not interested", Destiny said.
"We're giving our powers up", Melissa told the scientist, whose eyes widened in shock.
"You can't do that", she spoke.
Destiny shot her a daring look. "Watch us."
"Please, just listen. Together, we could-"
"Listen, bitch", May cut her off, "there's no us. There are only the girls and me and you. No us. There's never been and never will be us. So just drop it."
The Moon was now completely over the cone. The water in the moon pool glowed, yellow sparkles rising up into the air. Nodding to one another, the girls jumped into the pool.
The girls' clothing was gone in a moment, replaced by scaly tails and tops. The three mermaids watched as the Moon slowly darkened, until it went completely dark, leaving them alone in the darkness. The three held hands, frightened of what would happen, when suddenly everything went light again.
As the Moon slowly returned to its silver light, May, Melissa and Destiny felt their magic slowly disappearing, constantly changing between legs and tail. The three felt the magic being drained from them, taken away forever by the very same force that had given it to them.
And as soon as the eclipse was over, their magic was goon too, as if it never even existed.
Silvana stared in shock as three friends went out of the pool. May and Melissa were crying, sad and broken, too shaken to say anything. Destiny, on the other hand, didn't let her feelings get the best of her – at least not yet. She walked over to Silvana, standing so close to her as if she was ready to hit her. Silvana was seriously afraid that the teenager would beat her up. Powers or not, she looked stronger than her, not to mention she was taller.
But instead of punching her, Destiny sent her a death glare, her fists clenched in rage. "It's over now. I hope you're happy. Now go home and leave us alone, you self-absorbed, attention-seeking, greedy whore!"
And with that she and the girls left.
-H2O-
"It's over now. I hope you're happy. Now go home and leave us alone, you self-absorbed, attention-seeking, greedy whore!" Those words echoed in Destiny's head while Dyson drove her, May and Melissa back to the land. Once home, she locked herself into her room, leaning against the locked door.
It finally happened. Her magic was gone. Her powers were gone. She wasn't a mermaid anymore. There will be no more midnight swims, no more ditching or skipping school to go swimming, no more pranks with powers.
She wasn't special anymore. Now she was just a boring, ordinary girl, with ordinary life, ordinary problems, and ordinary thoughts. No more thinking about swimming with dolphins; if she thought about it, it would only make all of this hurt even more. She'd felt better if she could just about everything.
But she couldn't. No matter how hard she tried, her thoughts kept returning to the last hour, to that horrendous when her magic was taken away forever. If only she could go back and enjoy it all again. If only she could grow a tail at least once again, just so she could say goodbye to it. If only her powers returned for just a minute, so she could pull one last prank and remember that feeling of power and glory she had.
Because she would never get that blissful feeling again.
Sobs took her over, her eyes finally allowing tears to fall. She fell to her knees, sad, broken, her pale cheeks showered with countless of tears that fell from her eyes.
-H2O-
May woke up early that morning. She hadn't had a lot of sleep that night. After Dyson took her home, she locked herself into her room and cried herself to sleep. Her eyes still sore from crying, she got up from the bed and stood in front of the large mirror. She observed her now thin figure, her long, slender legs. There were no traces of chubbiness anymore – it was like those few extra pounds have never even existed.
I owe that all to… she thought and tears quickly returned to her eyes. She owed all that to being a mermaid – that's what she wanted to say, but the word mermaid was too painful for her to even think of it.
What was the point of thinking about it, anyway? It'll never come back. It was gone forever.
She looked at herself in the mirror again. She got what she wanted. She wasn't chubby anymore. Shouldn't she be happy for that?
No, I can't, she thought to herself. If she could, she would give up her slender figure, her handsome legs and everything else that made her pretty to get her powers back. How could she go to school now? How could she defend herself against Illene and Therese's tyranny? What would she do if Luke Olsen came back and started to bully her again?
No, don't go down that road again, she told herself. If she came across them, she decided to pretend to have her powers again. Yes, that would help her. She knew it would. If she pretended to have her powers again, she could be strong and independent. She didn't need magic to make her feel that way – she only needed to pretend to have it.
Changing into her bikini, May ran toward the beach. Ooha'oma island was smiling at her in the distance; she smiled back and waved to it, as if waiting for someone to respond.
She couldn't go there anymore. At least not the easy way. Maybe she and the girls could go camping there during the next full Moon and become mermaids again. Yes, she decided. We'll do that.
But then she remembered Melissa's grandma's words: "Lunar eclipse takes away a mermaid's powers forever."
And her whole world trembled down.
She should have known it was hopeless. There was no magic in her anymore. The eclipse took every last bit of magic she had last night, leaving her a plain, ordinary human.
She looked at the ocean that glittered under the morning sun. If she touched it, she wouldn't grow a tail this time. If she twisted her hand, water wouldn't do her bidding. If she took a breath, she wouldn't be able to stay underwater for more than twenty seconds.
She sighed, tears welling in her hazel eyes. She slowly stepped into the shoal, feeling the cold water against her warm skin. She kept on walking, observing the world without fear of someone seeing her in the water. There was nothing to be afraid for anymore. No secrets that needed to be kept from curious eyes.
All of a sudden, she felt a familiar tingling in her legs. Widening her eyes in shock she glanced down at her legs; they merged together, forming a big, bronze tail. Her bikini was gone, replaced by a scaly top. Not able to hold her balance she fell into the water, her eyes trailing along her tail, watching it in amazement. She touched it to make sure it was real, that she wasn't imagining things.
The tail was as real as the sun that shone above her was. Melissa's grandma was wrong after all. Their powers weren't gone forever.
-H2O-
Destiny stared at her reflection, running her fingers against her lips and eyelids. She wore no makeup today, only some lip-gloss. She wasn't a mermaid anymore and she needed changes. Turning over a new leaf was something she was going for and there was nothing better to do for a start than getting rid of makeup. It only hid her natural beauty anyway. She felt more free this way.
And besides, whenever she transformed into a mermaid, her makeup was gone and no one ever complained about her looking ugly. She thought it would be horrible, but she actually liked her new self. After brushing her hair and teeth she went to the bathroom.
Once she did her business, she went to wash her hands only to notice something unusual. Her legs were tingling in a funny way. She knew very well what that tingling meant, but it couldn't be – could it?
Her question was answered when she fell to the hard floor fully transformed, tail and all. No words came out of her mind. There was nothing she could say to describe what she was feeling at the moment. All she could do was to stare.
And then she smiled.
-H2O-
After spending the whole night crying in her bed, Melissa figured that the only thing that could make her feel better was taking a bath. As she stepped into the bathtub, her mind brought back memories of last night, when she had come home just a few minutes after giving up her powers forever.
Tears overwhelmed her before she even reached the door and the whole situation got harder when Misty began asking her questions of her whereabouts. Melissa just went to her room, not up for discussing at such a late hour, but the kid was persistent. She kept banging on the door, demanding answers, while Melissa helplessly lied on the floor, sobbing, hugging herself, pulling her hair to stop the pain that ripped through her body.
Finally having enough of her sister's behavior, Melissa went out, grabbed Misty by the hair and dragged her to her room, threatening her to hurt her if she didn't leave her alone.
And now she was lying in the bathtub, enjoying the warm bath, at last safe and free of dangers and annoyances. She might not be a mermaid anymore, but she still had her dignity and needs. And a warm bath existed solely for the purpose of satisfying her needs.
She closed her eyes, lost in thoughts and memories of herself as a mermaid. She remembered all the little pranks she and her friends pulled, all those full Moon nights when they acted wacky, all the adventures they had underwater. She will miss it; all of it. She'll even miss the fear of touching water that came along with being a mermaid.
Lost in her thoughts, she didn't notice a funny feeling in her legs until it was too late. Opening her eyes, she saw a tail in place of her legs. It was falling over the edge of the bathtub, the fin almost touching the floor.
Melissa stared, surprised, baffled. How could this happen? Didn't her grandma say that the eclipse would take away their powers forever?
A loud, manic knocking on the door snapped her out of her thoughts. She heard May and Destiny's voices and instantly told them to get in. That was about them too. They deserved to know that they were mermaids again. Melissa couldn't be the only one to get her powers back. Could she?
"We got our powers back too", May said as Destiny closed the door.
"You too? Seriously?" Melissa asked.
Destiny nodded.
"I don't know how or why it happened, but it's awesome. I love it, love it, love it, love it!" she exclaimed jumping around the bathroom, performing her happy dance.
Destiny's face beamed. Melissa had never seen her that happy before. And then she realized something. "No makeup?"
Destiny shook her head. "I decided to try something new."
"You look better this way", May complimented her.
Destiny smiles. "Thanks."
"I still don't get it how… I mean, this… it wasn't supposed to happen", Melissa said, confusion written all over her face.
"Actually, it was", said the voice, startling the three friends. Dyson came into the bathroom wearing a warm, cheerful smile. The girls all looked at him, their looks telling him that they demand an explanation. "Melissa's grandmother gave me a call this morning. She said that lunar eclipse only takes away your powers for twelve hours. She didn't tell you anything because she wanted your reaction to be real so Silvana wouldn't suspect anything."
"Seriously?" May said with a frown.
Destiny rolled her eyes. "That old hag!" she growled. "She… because of her… I…" she was too embarrassed to admit that she cried, so she went quiet, not wanting to continue with her rant.
But then there was Melissa, who was in a full ranting mode. "I'll kill her. I swear to god, I'll murder her, decapitate her, freeze her. I'll…" She sighed. "Ughhhh. She's so dead when she comes to visit next time."
"Forget about that, girls, and focus on what's important – you got to keep your powers and managed to fool Silvana at the same time. You should be proud of yourselves", Dyson said.
"You're right", May said, wrapping her arms around him and leaning in to kiss him. "I really am proud. And happy."
"I guess so", Destiny laughed.
"I'm so putting this into my novel", Melissa said.
The three girls, along with Dyson, burst into laughter.
Hope you all had a nice time reading this story and take care till the next time!
I would like to thank to all the people that reviewed. Thank you so much, guys. I owe you everything! Your reviews always made my day and for that I'm thankful.
I can't guarantee you that the next season will come out quickly, but I'm got awesome ideas for it and I only need to write them down. Cheers until the next time!
