Bella went swimming again later that day without her friends. She was spying on the girl she saw earlier who was still swimming with the humbpback whale.

Charley told Neri there was someone watching her. Neri turned around and Saw a girl with a fish tail watching her.

When Bella noticed that Neri had spotted her she quickly pulled herself down behind the rock and out of sight.

Neri swam over to Bella and tapped on her shoulder and pointed to the surface. Bella nodded in a silent agreement.

Once they had their heads both above water Neri spoke.

"Why you watch me?" Neri demanded.

"I wanted to know what you are." Bella informed her, "So what are you?"

"Not know." Neri replied, "Not human though."

"I figured as much seeing as you can hold your breath as long as I can."

"What are you?" Neri asked.

"A mermaid." Bella told her, "Half fish half girl."

"How possible?" Neri asked.

"Magic." Bella told her. "My name's Bella by the way."

"Bella." Neri said trying out her name. "Nice to meet you I Neri."

"Who's that?" Bella asked gesturing to The humpback Whale."

"That's friend." Neri said, "He called Charley. Want to meet?"

"I'd love too." Bella responded. Neri swam to Charley with Bella following. Charley surfaced and Bella touched his face.

"Amazing so can you talk to him?"

"Yes, with words and mind." Neri said.

"That's cool." Bella commented. "Do you want to see Mako Island? That's where my friends, Cleo, Emma, and Rikki, changed into Mermaids." Neri nodded. "Alright follow me."

Bella dove under the water with Neri following closely behind her.

A few minutes later Bella surfaced in the moonpool and Neri followed suit.

Bella pulled herself out of the Moonpool and sat on the edge.

"This is where friends become Fish girls?" Neri questioned.

"Mermaids yeah." Bella told her.

"So this their Island?"

"I guess so." Bella responded, "Yeah."

"You show me rest of Island now?" Bella asked her.

"Sure thing; as soon as my tails dry." Bella told her, "Then my legs will reappear."

"How?"

"Same as being a mermaid." Bella replied. "Magic."

Minutes later Bella's tail had completely dried and her legs had reappeared. "Alright Follow me." Neri followed Bella out through the land Entrance of the Moonpool.

Bella had showed Bella the whole of Mako Island. "Beautiful." Neri commented.

"Yeah, it is." Bella told her in reply. "Well I better get back to my friends. They'll be wondering where I am."

Bella waved to Neri before diving into the ocean. Ten seconds later her tail had appeared and Bella swam off leaving Neri at Mako. Neri ran into the water and dove in as well Swimming with Charlet.

Bella watched Neri Swim away with Charley. Neri paused for a moment and then turned around and waved to her. Bella smiled and returned the wave and then they both went their separate ways.

Bella swam to meet her friends. She couldn't wait to see the girls and tell them about Neri.
