A/N: Since we've never seen Sam's house or how it looks like around her neighborhood, in this story she lives not too far away from a pier.

Chapter 3: Surprises

Alyson's POV

I was smiling like crazy. I'm so glad I'm not the only one!

Sam is a mermaid! just like me!

"YAY! You're just like me!" I say, walking toward her. Sam looked confused.

"H-huh? W-what do you mean by 'you're just like me'?" Sam asks. I sigh and sit at the edge of the tub.

"Last week I also grew a tail." I began. "I thought I was dreaming so I tested it out at the pier where no one can see me and it was true. I'm a mermaid." I said. Then I poked her shoulder as I said: "And you are too!" Sam opened her mouth to speak but no words came out. She stared at her hot pink tail that hung off the other side of the tub. Then I saw her eyes. They were PINK! How do eyes become pink? Well, a lot of strange things have been happening, so I shouldn't be surprised. I laughed a bit, "Um Sam? You might not like this but…you've got pink eyes." She looked confused.

"But I haven't been rubbing i-" I interrupted her with a chuckle.

"No. I mean your eye color, like, where your eyes are supposed to be blue." Her eyes widened.

"WHAT?!" I looked for something that I can use as a mirror. I found a hand mirror and showed her. That's when I almost became deaf.

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!" I heard ringing after that. She started to freak out for a while. I took her hands.

"Come on, I'll help you out and dry your tail."

After drying Sam's tail, there were little sparkley-water drops around her tail and I gave her the towel before it disappeared. "Th-That was um…w-weird." Sam finally speaks up. I nod.

"Yup. It is weird but it happened." Sam looks at me and asks:

"Do you know why this happened?" I thought about what my mom told me about my dad being a merman.

"Well, I guess someone in your family was a mermaid too."

After Sam got dressed into a tank top and pajama shorts, I got an idea.

"Hey Sam, let's go swimming." I REALLY wanted to go swimming. It's cool being a mermaid, but I hate that we can't touch water in front of people or else we would change in front of them.

"Swimming?" Sam asks. I chuckle.

"Sam, you don't have to be afraid. It's really fun to swim as a mermaid." I grab her hand. "Come on. Let's swim." I try to bring her to the pier, but she'd struggle at times, trying to make excuses to get out of it.

We finally got to the pier. It was dark outside, so no one would be able to see us. I started walking to the edge of the pier, but I didn't see Sam anywhere. I looked around, calling her name. I looked in the water and saw a hot pink tail and dirty-blonde hair with hot pink highlights. I chuckled.

I took a few steps back, ran to the edge, and dived in the water. My purple tail appeared with my purple scaled bra and violet highlights. I saw Sam swimming forward, so I followed her. We swam through fishes, seaweed, coral; it's unbelievable how beautiful it is down here.

~*NEXT DAY*~

Freddie's POV

I woke up by the sun shining through the blinds of my window. I got up, took a shower, got dressed (into a black t-shirt with a small design on it and blue jeans with sneakers), ate breakfast and was almost out the door before my mother called for me. "Freddie-Bear!" I turned toward my mom, who was in the kitchen.

"Yes mother?" I ask in an annoyed tone of voice.

"Remember to take your tick bath when you get home since I won't be here because of work." She tells me. I roll my eyes.

"Okay mo-."

"And be careful if you're near sharp things! Oh and don't forget your oint-" I was already out the door when she turned toward the sink to wash the dishes.

I went to school and when I passed by Carly and Sam's locker, I saw Sam with a huge smile on her face. I walked over to her, curious about that smile.

"Hey Sam." I said with a small smile. She turned toward me.

"Hey Freddork." She said. I chuckled at her nickname for me.

"So, what's with the huge smile?"

"Oh, just spent time yesterday with a special friend that moved back to Seattle." She hinted. I knew it was a hint because how she said it. I didn't know who she was talking about, but if she's giving me a hint then that means I should know who she is talking about, but I don't.

"And who is this 'special' friend that moved back to Seattle?" I asked, putting air quotes around 'special'. She raised her eyebrows.

"You don't remember a friend we had that moved away to Florida because her dad got a job there?" after she said that, I remembered.

"Oh yea Alyso-" Then I remembered what Sam said when I came over to her. "Did you say a friend that moved back to SEATTLE and you spent time with that friend YESTERDAY?" she nodded her head franticly.

"Yup! She's back!"

"Who's back?" someone asked. I turned around and saw Carly.

"Oh, just a friend of Freddie and I."
