A/N: Hey, guys! It's been months since I last updated. I know and I'm terribly sorry. There has just been so much stuff in my life right now that I couldn't find the time to write. But I did! So now the chapter is up. By the way, this story is now over a year old! Yay! I'm so happy! Thanks to all of you who have helped me and stuck with me through this time, especially my editor and bestie, KibaHinaLUV! Don't forget to check out her stories because they are even more awesome than mine. No lie.

Disclaimer: I do not own The Little Mermaid. Otherwise I wouldn't be writing Fanfiction.

And now that that randomness is done, onto the chapter!

Chapter 26: Preparations

Cat was still in a state of shock from finding out her power, but she was slowly regaining her composure. Her sisters and friends kept silent, knowing it was a big blow for Cat. Calm once more, Cat repeated, "I could manipulate water?"

"Well, we believe you still can, actually…" Anna replied. "But we don't really know for sure." She shrugged, showing confusion.

Cat's mind immediately started to deduct a conclusion. It's a cell of ice. Ice can melt over time when a higher temperature effects it. Our body temperature is way over freezing temperature. When ice melts, it's water. I can manipulate water. If this is a cell of ice and our bodies melted some of it... Maybe... Maybe science can overpower a magical cell? Cat glanced around, scanning her surroundings, and saw a small puddle of water close by. Perfect.

"How did you say I did it again?"

"You just held your palm out to it," Melody replied, motioning with her hand the simplicity of the action.

Cat took a deep breath and focused. Raising her palm towards the puddle, she waited. After a few seconds, she was about to lose hope, but then… An unstable, wobbling ball of water rose. She gasped in shock and lost her focus, making the ball she created splash into the ground. Cat looked at her hand. "Did I just do that?"

"No, that was obviously me!" Estar sarcastically said. "As a matter of fact, it was obviously you. In all honestly, I highly doubt anyone else in the room has powers."

"Estar, don't be so harsh!" Melody scolded. "Cat just found out about this, so it's not in her liking to know." Estar just scoffed.

By this time, the others had joined from the corner after hearing Cat yell. She kept looking at her hand, both in fear and amazement. She tried again, raising her palm to the puddle once more. The ball rises again. Cat smiled and let out a laugh of glee. She started experimenting a little bit and started to shape the ball by twisting her hand into different positions. It started to morph and shape as she started to mold it. Soon she stopped and just kept the now water dolphin in mid-air. She grinned at her creation.

"Wow," was all that was said. Nobody could believe their eyes, especially Nathan. He knew there was something special about Cat that made her different from the other girls he'd met before, but what he just witnessed brought his feelings to a whole new level. He figured he probably shouldn't get on her bad side if he doesn't want to get hit with loads of water; although anybody would be pretty sure that wouldn't be happening any time in the near future.

Cat realized how freezing the temperature was in the cell and her brain went into thinking mode. If it's this cold, maybe the water can freeze again... Then she decided to try something. She changed the dolphin into something else and raised it higher towards the ceiling, where the temperature was cooler. Cat dropped her focus after waiting a few minutes and her creations came crashing down; luckily she caught it before it could break. She grinned. Her idea worked.

She turned to her sisters and friends. Cat now held something that amazed them all. In her hands lay a sparkling dagger of ice.

Now Nathan really didn't want to get on her bad side.

"I think I just found our way to end this," Cat said. A determined grin was frozen on her face.

A/N: And that's a wrap! Well, at least for now. I'm working on Chapter 27, but I'm running out of ideas! So, if you guys have any ideas, suggestions, critique, et cetera… Please leave a review or you can PM me! I hope to get back to you soon!
