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.

At Rikki's Café...

"Hey guys, You'll never believe who I went and saw." Bella told her fellow mermaids and their boyfriends.

"Who?" Lewis asked.

"That girl I was telling you about earlier." Bella replied. "I went and saw her again."

"I don't get what the big deal is." Rikki said to her.

"I went swimming and I saw her." Bella repeated.

"Did she see you?" Emma asked worriedly.

"Yeah," Bella told them nonchalantly.

"WHAT!?" Cleo said shocked.

"Are you crazy?" Rikki asked her, "What if she tells someone about you?"

"She won't." Bella tried to reassure them.

"How do you know that she won't?" Rikki shot back at her.

"Because she's just like us!" Bella shot back. "Besides I trust her."

"We've been through this Bella she's not like us." Emma told her.

"Bella," Cleo began calmly. "You need to be careful who you trust with your secret."

"Don't you think I know that?! I am being careful." She told her friends.

"I don't think you are!" Emma replied standing up at their booth.

"I know what I'm doing." Bella told them. "If you don't trust me then just say so."

"It's not that we don't trust you Bella." Cleo said to her. "It's her we don't trust."

"Well I trust her; that should be good enough for you." Bella replied.

"You just met her?" Rikki shot back. "How can you trust her?!"

"Because she's just like us." Bella told them firmly.

"Bella.." Emma began.

Bella held up her hand. "Save it. I don't want to hear it." Bella said getting up out of the booth and she then walked out of the café in anger; knocking into Wills' shoulder as she passed him on the way out. Will looked from Bella to the others.

"What's wrong with Bella?" He asked.

"Nothing." Cleo replied quickly.

"Really?" Will said, "Because she seems really upset to me."

"She's fine." Emma told him.

"Yeah, You know. It's just that time of month for her and girls get pretty moody and hormonal around that time." Lewis said to Will putting an arm around his shoulders.

"Okay." Will said giving the group a weird look before walking off to search for Bella.

As soon as Will was gone Ash spoke up, "So what's with this girl Bella was talking about?"

"Apparently Bella saw a girl swimming in the Ocean just like we do." Cleo paused for dramatic effect. "Without diving gear or anything."

"But how?" Zane asked, "Was she like you guys? You know." He lowered her voice and whispered almost inaudible. "Mermaids."

"No," Rikki said, "But that's the thing I don't get. How can she swim exactly like us but not be like we are."

"Bella also mentioned that she could hold her breath for abnormally long periods of time." Emma informed her friends.

"I wonder what she is?" Lewis muttered to himself absent-mindedly.

Meanwhile...

"Hey Bella!" Will called out as he ran to catch up with her. "Bella!"

"What do you want?" Bella asked angrily.

"I just wanted to know what's wrong with you." He told her.

"There's nothing wrong with me!" She shot back at him.

"Bella," Will grabbed her hand and pulled her to him so that she was standing right in front of him. "What's bothering you?"

She shook her head, and pulled her hand away. "You wouldn't understand." She told him. She began to walk away from him again.

"Then help me understand." He told her walking after her.

"I just had a fight with my friends." Bella told him. "I don't want to talk about it though. Look I'll see you later." She said walking off.

Neri was resting on Mako Island. She fell asleep and began to have a vision within her dream.

"Ok, So talk." He told her.

"It was really great hanging out with you today but-"

"Where did you have to go that you could swim to faster than you could walk?" Will asked Bella.

"Listen," Bella continued, "I can't see you anymore."

"Why?" He questioned her.

"I don't want to talk about it." She told him.

"I can't make you talk to me." He told her. "But I wish you would. There are- There are so many things about you that don't add up."

"I think you're reading way to much into this-"

"The only time I see you go in water you disappear." He told her, "I know you're hiding something from me. But whatever it is. I'm not going to judge you." He looked her straight in the eyes, He walked towards her until he was standing right in front of her. "You can't run and hide forever." Bella looked down at her feet. "I know this big secret of yours had something to do with water."

"No, No." Bella said shaking her head in denial and panic.

"You're lying to me." Will said looking at her.

"No." Bella said immediately after he finished his sentence.

Will grabbed Bella's hand with his own. Then he quickly grabbed a cup of water on the table nearby and spilled it on her hand. Bella pulled her hand back and looked at him in shock. "I trusted you." She pulled open the door, Ran out and jumped off the pier into the water.

Will ran after her and jumped into the water. His eyes widened as he saw what it was that Bella was hiding. She was-no is a mermaid.

Neri sat up quickly fully awake now. "Bella." She said. She began to run into the Sea. "Come Charley." Neri told him. "Need to help Bella." Charlie sung in agreement.

Neri and Charley Swam as fast as they could to help their friend Bella.
