Cam's POV:

As soon as we were done eating, Chase and his siblings had to go. We said goodbye but Zac and I stayed at the café. "Man, I can't believe Chase spilled his water all over Nixie. I wish I was there to see that," I said.

"Yeah, but that was a close call," Zac replied. "What? Close call that he almost found out they were fish chicks or close call that we didn't go more in depth about our knowledge of Mako?" I asked.

"Both. Chase knows a lot," Zac answered.

"He's like… the smartest person on the planet," I said with a grin. Zac smiled, "Yeah, they're nice though." "Bree's kind of cute," I replied. "Yeah, it's about time you get a girlfriend," Zac said. "What is that supposed to mean?" I asked. Zac started to laugh.

"I still can't believe Nixie didn't yell at Chase, though. It's definitely not like her," I said. Zac shrugged, "She doesn't know him that well. Maybe she did believe it was an accident." I scoffed, "Yeah right. Nixie doesn't care."

"Speaking of," Zac started. He pointed to Nixie, Lyla, and Sirena. They were walking towards us. "Hey, guys," Zac said. "Hey. So, I see you guys have met the Davenports," Sirena said. "Yeah, they're cool," I replied. "Speaking of the Davenports, I thought for sure you would yell at Chase," Zac said to Nixie.

I crossed my arms. "Yeah, well I know he didn't do it on purpose. I was still mad but uh… I just didn't want him to suspect anything," Nixie explained. I rolled my eyes. I knew that wasn't the truth but we didn't want to argue with her.

"Did they suspect anything, though?" Lyla asked. Zac shook his head, "I don't think so. They were asking about Mako Island." "What? What about Mako Island?" Sirena asked. "Well, Chase was telling us what he knew and how people thought it was "magical" but they just wanted to go there for a camping site or something," Zac explained.

"Well, let us know when they go," Sirena replied. "Why?" I asked. "If they go there on a full moon or something and happen to stumble upon the moon pool, what do you think would happen?" Nixie asked sarcastically.

"Well, on the other hand we did invite them to Zac's house for a summer party," I said. "You have to convince them to let us come. Deal?" Lyla asked. "Whoa, all of us? I don't think they would agree," Zac replied. "You just have to try. And not matter what, don't let them find out," Sirena said.

The girls turned to leave. I sighed. "Well, that went well," I said sarcastically. "Yeah, I didn't know that this would be such a big deal," Zac said. I sighed, "The fish chicks are really concerned about this."

"So?" Zac asked.

"So, They've been merpeople long before you have, They know more about this kind of stuff," I explained. "Well, I guess you're right. Well, we better get to it," Zac said standing up. I shook my head, "You know, if you wouldn't have fell into the moon pool I would have to do this!"

Zac started to laugh, "You can't run from your fate."

Lyla's POV:

We left the café and swam back to the moon pool. "This is so hard!" Sirena exclaimed. "What are you talking about?" I asked. "Keeping our secret from these people," Sirena replied. "We've done it a million times before, what makes them any different?" I asked. "The only difference is they're different," Sirena answered.

"How so?" I asked. "I don't know. I felt like they have just as much of a secret as we do," She said. "What's that supposed to mean?" I asked. "I just… have a feeling," Sirena replied simply. I looked over at Nixie she was quiet.

"I was really looking forward to you kicking and screaming at this Chase boy," I said with a smirk. "Why is everyone so surprised about that?" Nixie asked in annoyance. "It's just not like you," Sirena replied.

"So what was it? His charm?" I asked evilly. "What? Are you kidding? Why would I fall in love with a land boy?" Nixie asked. "I don't know, because he's cue and you haven't said otherwise," I replied.

Nixie shook her head. She didn't answer or anything. "So you do like him?" Sirena asked. Sirena got really excited. I guess that meant that her liking David was a good thing. "No! When did I say that?" Nixie asked.

"It's what you didn't say," I answered. "Okay, he is really weird, why would I like him?" "Because you're weird too. In a good way," Sirena said with a smile. "Whatever, I don't think it's important. Let's just focus on something else," Nixie said.

"Like what?" I asked. "Anything!" Nixie exclaimed. "Okay, so what are you guys wearing to Zac's summer party?" Sirena asked. "I don't know, I was thinking about wearing my blue dress," Nixie said. "Isn't that your favorite or something?" Sirena asked. "Yeah, so?" Nixie asked.

Sirena and I glanced at each other. "I might wear just a normal skirt with a tee shirt," I explained. "Seems nice enough. We should pick out really pretty shells to put in our hair," Sirena said with a smile. "Yes!" Nixie exclaimed, "I mean, sure." Again Sirena and I glanced at each other. Wow, could Nixie be any more obvious?

"I'm going to wear a sundress as well, I'm thinking my pink one," Sirena said. "Good idea. I can't wait for this party," I said. Nixie didn't say anything but her face said it all. She was really excited for this.

Sorry it's a little short. Didn't want to add too much in this chapter! Hope you guys enjoyed though.
