HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
At Grim & Nergal's Pizzeria we were having an awesome New Year's Day celebration.
Manaphy, Poromon, Horsea, and Poliwag: HAPPY NEW YEARS, EVERYBODY!
Me: Happy New Years to you all too.
Nico: The start of 2021. Its been 5 years almost since we became Team Loud Phoenix Storm.
Me: I know. A half a decade. So awesome. And lets hope that this year will be just as memorable as last year.
Nico: Yeah but I have a feeling that there will be many awesome adventures.
Lincoln: But this is always awesome.
Laney: It sure is.
Nico: Yep.
Arkayna: Cleo, how did you, Emma, Rikki, and Bella get your powers?
Cleo: That is a really unexpected and really amazing adventure.
Emma: When we lived down in Australia we went to an island called Mako Island.
Me: It is a mystical island that contains a very mysterious power. It turned them into mermaids with powers over the elements.
Nico: Yep. It was so cool.
Lincoln: It sure was. Emma, Cleo, Rikki and Bella were chosen to protect the world.
Bella: It's true.
Me: That was a really cool adventure.
Vert: From what I heard, that a girl named Charlotte tried to get revenge on you 4 for losing her powers.
Kevin Levin: And she ripped off Aggregor's mutant form!
Ben: I have to agree with that. She only got mutated with the DNA of 4 of my aliens.
Me: I remember that.
Twilight Sparkle: Who is Charlotte?
Me: You girls would hate her. Her name is Charlotte Watsford and she is in every way like how Cozy Glow is now in Equestria.
Cleo: Yeah. She hates us more than life itself. She wants nothing more than to kill us.
Me: Yep. Here's what she was like.
I went over her history.
Charlotte Watsford is one of the secondary characters in Season 2 of H2O: Just Add Water. Charlotte is the main antagonist of Season 2, predominantly after she became a mermaid. Charlotte is the granddaughter of former mermaid Gracie, and is the daughter of Annette Watsford. She attended the same school as Cleo, Lewis, Emma and Rikkiduring Season 2.
Charlotte is the new girl in town and arrives after the girls were given their new powers. She has a passion for art, and grew an attraction to drawing Mako Island. At her old school of Rosewood Secondary College she was one of the best artists. She also has a sudden crush on Lewis, who was initially Cleo's boyfriend. She draws a picture of him, after Cleo claims she needs space to learn to control her new powers, and uses this time to try to get Lewis to go out with her. In "Missed the Boat", Charlotte comes up with a plan to get Lewis alone, away from Cleo. Following Cleo's poor exam results, Charlotte takes it upon herself to tutor Cleo, forcing Cleo to study at home, while Charlotte gets Lewis to take her to Mako Island. This allows her to kiss Lewis at Mako, forming their relationship.
Becoming A Mermaid
Charlotte finds a picture of her grandmother at Sertori's House. After that she starts to get suspicious of Lewis and the girls. This leads Charlotte to secretly break into Cleo's room and steal a film, in which she would discover the existence of mermaids, and that her own grandmother was one. She confronts Lewis with this information, only to end in him denying their existence. In "Then There Were Four," Lewis, in an attempt to give the mermaid research back to Max Hamilton, Charlotte secretly follows Lewis and asks Max questions about Gracie.
Max confirmed Charlotte's suspicions that Gracie used to be a one of the original mermaids. Max tells Charlotte, that although Gracie was a mermaid, he still loved her, and even more so when she was a mermaid. This may have influenced Charlotte into becoming a mermaid, so that Lewis would love her more than Cleo. Charlotte asks Max "How did this happen?" to which Max responded with "In the right place, at the right time, magic happens." After arguing with Lewis once again, Charlotte runs off and reviews the film of Gracie's transformation, and determines that Mako Island's Moon Poolcould be where the 'magic happens'. She takes a boat and travels to Mako Island, where she goes to the Moon Pool.
Charlotte then discovers that Cleo, Emma and Rikki are mermaids, and overhears them mention "the moon". Once the full moon is up, Charlotte recalls Max's words that this was the 'right place', and the 'right time' for the magic to happen, Charlotte proceeds to jump into the moon pool and becomes the fourth mermaid. The next day, Lewis is ready to make amends with Charlotte, and meets her on the jetty. She calls Lewis out for being full of secrets, but that he needn't worry anymore. Charlotte then dives into the water and transforms into a mermaid. She arises extremely happy, asking a shocked Lewis "isn't this fantastic?!"
The "Super Mermaid"
Once Charlotte becomes a mermaid, her true colors come out and the girls don't take her in so well. She initially tries to find out what her powers are, but fails. After a while, she finds out that she has Cleo's power, then Rikki's power and Emma's power. This causes her to believe that being a mermaid was meant to happen to her. She titles herself as a "Super Mermaid" and a better mermaid than the other girls, this is due to her mastering her powers faster than the other girls, and having control over all the elements, making her the most powerful mermaid in the entire series. However, this leads to Charlotte becoming egotistical and power hungry.
After a power fight between Charlotte and the other girls over Nate when he attacks Lewis and tries to steal his boat, she stops collaborating with the girls, and starts practicing her powers her own way. At Lewis' birthday party, Charlotte locks Cleo and Emma inside her pool room by freezing the lock shut, and uses hydrokinesis to burst a pipe full of water all over the girls, transforming them into mermaids. Rikki manages to rescue Cleo and Emma by using her powers to free them. This leads Cleo and Emma to backlash against Charlotte, essentially ending their brief friendship. Charlotte in return tells Lewis that he is no longer allowed to talk to the girls, especially Cleo.
Charlotte decides to bully Cleo with her powers. "And you call yourself a mermaid, you're pathetic." Furthermore, Charlotte rips Cleo's locket off of her neck, feeling that it was rightfully hers, since it belonged to her grandmother. Cleo, who is extremely upset, after losing her locket and her friendship with Lewis, and additionally feeling that Lewis doesn't care even a little for her anymore, she runs off to the sea. When Lewis finds that Charlotte has bullied Cleo, and has stolen her locket, he is disgusted and finally breaks up with Charlotte for good and goes off searching for Cleo, ultimately resulting in Lewis and Cleo getting back together as a couple. Charlotte, now bitter and heartbroken, deals with her anger of being dumped by abusing her powers on the girls, after they attempted to warn her of the full moon. Charlotte arrogantly ignores them, after stating that she is the most powerful mermaid, even more powerful than all three of the girls combined, and proceeds to use her power of aerokinesis to push them into the air until Ash comes out, reluctantly forcing her to drop them.
Losing Her Tail
That night Charlotte intentionally walked outside and looked at the full moon, placing herself under a moonspell trance. On this night, the planets were all aligned with the full moon, which only occurs every fifty years. This occurrence can draw away the powers of any mermaid in the moon pool when the full moon passes over, forever. (This was how Gracie lost her powers, along with the other original mermaids, Louise and Julia). Charlotte, under the moon's spell, caused chaos at Emma's house by using her powers to try lure to out the girls to travel to Mako Island, with the trio being unable to retaliate since Ash was in the house, and additionally using Lewis as bait. Lewis, however, also tried setting up his own trap to remove Charlotte's powers from her by luring her to the moon pool. At the same time, Charlotte wanted to take away the girls powers so that she could be the most powerful mermaid ever, and so that she would be the only special one for Lewis.
Once luring Cleo, Emma and Rikki to the moon pool, the four mermaids engage each other in a fierce power battle, where Charlotte created a three-headed water elemental snake to attack the girls. However the girls destroy the snake with a powerful electric storm. In one final power fight, Charlotte gets overwhelmed by the girls' Combined Atmokinesis; the very power the girls obtained just before Charlotte arrived in town, and results in the most powerful mermaid being dropped into the moon pool, and stripping Charlotte of all of her powers, forever. Charlotte attempts to win Lewis back, or else explain her motivations behind becoming a mermaid for him (she said that all she wanted was for him to care for her), but, though Lewis understands her motivations, she is unsuccessful, and is forced by Lewis, to return Cleo's Locket, and in doing so, she indirectly promises to never tell anyone about mermaids. Since losing her tail, the locket, and Lewis, Charlotte is thought to have moved away in shame and despair, broken by her defeat.
Non-Appearances
Charlotte appeared in Season 2, but was not introduced until the second episode, after the girls got their advanced powers. Charlotte was also absent for the episode "Moonstruck." Charlotte is completely absent from the show after Season 2 and was never seen or mentioned again.
They gasped in shock.
Me: Yeah. But she had it coming. Just like Scar when he abused his Power. He had all that power and it went to his head and destroyed his mind.
Eli: Yep.
Me: Yeah. But we have had lots of awesome adventures in 2020.
Nico: Yep. We sure did.
Dante Vale: I especially liked how we destroyed the Royal Defenders. Although their version of Sunder escaped after some of us took down the other John Stewart and Stargirl.
Me: He was an unnecessary prisoner and we got him out of there just in time. But that was a great adventure.
Twilight Sparkle: And you saved our counterparts there from a fate worse than death.
Nico: We sure did.
Lincoln: But they deserved to be destroyed.
Vypra: Yeah. And now they are in the Masters of Evil Prison at the Earth's Core.

Me: That was so much fun.
Twilight Sparkle: What happened in that one?
Me: We faced Captain Blackbeard from The 4th Pirates of The Caribbean movie and it was one of the most epic battles we've ever had. That's where we came up with the idea to have the Masters of Evil hang out with all of us on the Major Holidays.
Nico: Yep.
Vince: Yeah!
Zick: I liked the Independence Day adventure. We stopped Tavington from causing a lot of bad events there.
Me: We sure did and the ribs and food we had were delicious because of Homer's barbecuer and our great meats.
Nico: That was good food.
Me: You got that right.
Lynn: And we got to have Lena over for the first time.
Lena: I know. That was so awesome! I wish I can stay with you guys but I can't because of my mental condition.
Me: I know Lena. But we'll think of something to help cure your condition so you can stay with us.
Lena: Thanks guys.
Yusei: I liked how Lynn and the Masters of Evil took down Evil Lynn and her team.
Dark Spicer: We barely got to enjoy our road trip due to Lynn worrying about who framed her.
Me: I remember that.
Lynn: Yeah that was crazy.
Twilight Sparkle: I just can't believe your evil self did all that. She was really crazy!
Lynn: That is an understatement Twilight.
Rainbow Dash: No kidding.
Nico: Probably the biggest understatement ever.
Lincoln: Yeah.
Twilight: I liked the day you guys met us.
Me: That was so cool. And it was also where we discovered that humans can get Cutie Marks.
Nico: Yeah that was cool!
Vypra: And we found out that even we can get Cutie Marks too.
Vypra revealed her Cutie Mark and it was a Snake coiled around a black sun.
Me: Wow! That is a cool Cutie Mark.
The Masters of Evil showed us that they had varying Cutie Marks.
Lincoln: Looks like we ALL have Cutie Marks.
Me: Most of us do.
Sunset Shimmer: So cool.
Ruby: I liked Halloween. Because that's my birthday!
Me: Whoa! Your birthday was on Halloween!? Oh man! We didn't know about that!
Nico: Yeah! We were so busy celebrating on Halloween that we had no idea it was also there too.
Me: Boy a double celebration. Sorry Ruby we didn't know it was on there.
Ruby Rose: Oh that's all right guys. We can do both holidays later this year.
Me: Yeah. But Halloween was awesome last year. It was cool that we beat the Scarecrow again especially after all the pain he caused to Lori.
Lori: Don't remind me.
Akira: I liked how we destroyed that Asteroid.
Disk Wars Iron Man: We avoided a major disaster that day.
Me: We sure did. An 801 mile wide asteroid. That is unbelievable.
Nico: It sure was. But we all saved the entire world from impending doom.
Laney: We sure did.
Me: And Harry made the ultimate sacrifice to save the planet.
Sunset Shimmer: He sure did.
Randy Cunningham: I liked the Thanksgiving adventure.
Maria: (to Horsea, Manaphy, Poliwag, and Poromon) That reminds me. Did you 4 eat the turkey that we bought?
Horsea: We sure did. We ate it all in over the course of 5 days.
Poromon: Yeah it was so delicious!
Horsea: Yeah!
Me: We all had a great adventure and a great meal.
Nico: We sure did. Now we can have pizza with Thanksgiving Dinner too.
Tyler Bowman: I liked the adventure where you guys met us.
Double D: (scowls) And we defeated Jock, who ripped off my suit!
Kiyo: I still don't get why you're pissed off about that.
Zatch: They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Eddy: Well, Sockhead would never bust people over things like littering or jaywalking!
Me: Agreed. But at least we destroyed the Virus and saved the entire universe from total destruction.
Nico: That's true. Jock is such an idiotic freak.
Me: But in the future we must be ready for him for when Nico gets under the control of the Digimon Emperor.
Nico: Thanks guys.
Tracer: I liked the Christmas adventure.
Nico: We tricked the Armada into turning against Morbucks there.
Troy: I don't think they appreciated Morbucks trying to take over Earth before they could.
Me: That was a genius trap. And now we've seen the last of both Princess Morbucks the Spoiled and the Armada and the Warstar.
Nico: We sure have.
Lincoln: Good riddance.
Eli: Yep. She is now in the Rotten Egg Prison in Azerbaijan.
Me: You got that right. But our adventures are never gonna be over. We have many more journeys coming on the horizon.
Nico: We sure do.
Our adventures will continue.
THE END
