Chapter 7
As Jake was getting ready for school Rikki called to him using telepathy "I really had fun the other night. How do you feel about coming to my dorm tonight with the others and having a karaoke night? I should tell you you're my secret weapon against Bella. We always make it a competition. since Cleo can't sing and Emma prefers not to and since Lewis and Ash want to be supportive they never take part and instead act as the judges. It's always me, Bella, and Will. Wanna come?" "Sure Rikki I'd love to." Jake said with a smile. "Well then it's settled. I'll tell the others." Rikki replied "Great. I'll see ya at class." Jake said "Yeah see ya there." Rikki said
After Jake and Rikki's conversation the mermaids met at a café. "So Rikki how was your date?" Cleo asked "It was great. We walked through downtown for a bit and stumbled across a carnival and we went there for the rest of our date and played a few games won a few prizes, and ate a lot of cotton candy. Aaannnd at the end of the night we kissed." "Ooh Rikki good for you! How was it?" Cleo asked "I don't kiss and tell but if I did I would say we have a lot of chemistry." Rikki replied "Great! How about we go for a swim?" Bella said "I'm up for that." Emma replied and the rest agreed so they all went to the beach and jumped in the water. Once they had transformed they made their way to the reef. Emma swam around the nearest coral and said "Cleo, I remember helping move your fish tank. Do you need any more coral?" "Actually I do. I moved all my fish into a bigger tank because I have more space in my dorm. Why?" Cleo responded "Because I just found a piece of coral you're gonna love." and she showed Cleo a piece of coral that had some reds and oranges and a slight hint of blue. "Oh it's perfect! But we'd better look it up in the book. I don't want to accidentally poison my fish again." Cleo said "Well girls I've got to go now because I'm meeting Jake at the cafeteria for brunch. I'll see you guys later. Oh by the way come to my dorm tonight. We're having a karaoke contest and no is not an option." Rikki said "Okay see ya there. bye Rikki" Emma said and everybody agreed to karaoke night and Rikki left.
At the cafeteria…
"Hey Jake how are you today?" Rikki asked "I'm good but better now that you're here. How are you?" Jake replied "I'm good and excited to finally beat Bella at the karaoke contest tonight." Rikki said "I can see you're really into this. Well I'm happy to help." Jake said and then they started talking about their class and before they knew it it was time for class and when class was over he offered to hold the contest at his mansion instead. "Umm okay I'll tell the others." she said "Hey guys the plans have changed. We're gonna have the karaoke contest at Jakes place." she said using telepathy and when everybody agreed she told them how to get there and then her and Jake headed to the store and got party snacks and they went to his mansion and got the place ready and soon Rikki heard Cleo use telepathy to say Rikki? Lewis and I are in front of this huge mansion and I'm wondering if you might've given us the wrong directions." "Cleo, look at the front window." and she called Jake to the window and they waved hello to Cleo and Lewis and soon the two were at the front door and were let in and Cleo said "Oh my god Jake you never told us you're rich!" and Jake responded with "My dad is the C.E.O. of a big computer software company in the states. I'm gonna be going into the family business later on. That's why I'm studying computer sciences and business economics." "Wow that's impressive Jake." Lewis said then Jake and Lewis started talking tech and once everybody was there it was time for the karaoke contest and they split into teams with Will and Bella on one team and Rikki and Jake on another. Will had made a karaoke disk of all of Bellas songs so Bella started singing her song "You're everything" and then when it was Wills turn he sung all star by Smash Mouth of all things and did really good. Now it was Rikki's turn and she sang Cooler Than Me by Mike Posner and surprised everybody with how well she sang but then it was Jakes turn and he started Take Me Away by Globus and stunned everyone but Rikki with his voice and it was very clear that Jake and Rikki were the winners which surprised everybody there. After they beat Bella and Will in their karaoke contest Jake said "Wanna watch a movie now?" and everybody said yes and Jake took them to his tv room with the massive home theater system and Lewis looked at the massive screen and his jaw dropped then he directed them to his movie and tv show library and they chose a few movies and watched them and then everybody went home and Jake gave Rikki a ride home and when they got there Rikki said "I guess I'll see you later Jake. Bye." "Bye Rikki see ya later." and with that the night was over.
