Chapter 8: Our Powers

~Thursday. The day after the announcement for the sea trip.~

Freddie's POV ~After School~

Aly, Sam, and I went to the Groovie Smoothies and were talking about iCarly. Sam had a weird looking face going on like she was hiding something. She always does hide something, but it looked like whatever it was, is bothering her.

Sam spoke up. "Um Freddie, do you mind if I talk to Aly in private." I shook my head.

"No. Go ahead." Sam smiled.

"Thanks." She said as she grabbed Aly's hand and brought her to the bathroom of Groovie Smoothie.

T-bo comes up to me. "Wanna buy a pickle?" T-bo asks, showing me the pickles on a stick. I look at him.

"No."

"Why?" He asks looking offended.

"Because I don't want one."

"Why not."

"I'm not hungry."

"Why?"

"T-bo!" he gives me a crazy look and walks away muttering something about why people don't buy his food on sticks.

Sam's POV

I dragged Aly toward the bathrooms. I couldn't take not telling anyone about being a Mermaid.

"I can't take it anymore." I tell Aly. She raises her eyebrow confused.

"Can't take what anymore?"

"Not telling anyone about us being mermaids. I mean, we should at least tell one person." We should trust at least one person. I think it should be Freddie. He's Smart. He'll know not to tell anyone.

"One person already knows." Aly says to me. Now it's my turn to be confused.

"Who?"

"My mom. She knew my father was a Merman and she walked in to the kitchen after I changed." I stare at her.

"Not Family members. I mean friends. Someone we can trust, not that I don't trust your mom; I love your mom, but someone else. Maybe someone like Freddie. He's our best friend. He should know."

I can't take it. I have to tell someone (Freddie) or I am going to explode!

Aly sighs. "Sam, we can't. We can't risk being out in a Freak Show or something." I sigh defeated.

"Fine." A grin grows on Aly's face. "Hey, did you get your powers yet?" oh yeah I totally forgot to tell her.

"Oh my gosh yes! Did you?" Aly nods her head franticly. "Well, what is it?"

"I can freeze things!" she says happily. Awesome! That sounds like such a cool power!

"Awesome! Let me show you mine." I dragged toward a sink. I turned on the water. I raised my hand up and twist it a little. The pool of water starts to form a shape in midair. Aly gasps.

"Cool!" She exclaims. "Where's the extra water coming from?" I shrug my shoulders.

"I don't know. Oh use your powers to freeze it!"

"Okay." Aly raises her hand up and the water automatically freezes. Wow this is so cool. Then I realized we left Freddie sitting by himself.

"We should go back or Freddie might get suspicious."

"Right. But what are we going to do with that?" Aly asks pointing at the iced water. I walk over to it and push it down toward the floor. It breaks into millions of pieces.

"It'll melt." I say and walk out not caring if someone slips on the ice. Aly follows behind me. We walk over to Freddie who has just finished his Blueberry Blitz Smoothie.

"What are you two smiling about?" Freddie asks with his right eyebrow raised. I shake my head.

"Nothing. Nothing is going on at all."

I know. It's stupid and short. I'm sorry. REALLY sorry. But I think I might get writers block. Let's hope not.
