Just add Water: A Tail of Frienemies

Just add Worrying

Emma pov:
We headed back to our boat after discovering alot of the mermaid stuff.
This is amazing, Bella said.
I know, like imagine all the stuff we can do, Rikki said.
We will never need a boat again, we can just swim here, I said.
Yeah, if we hadn't taken Zane's boat I would've just
Jumped in the water and started swiming, Bella said.
All of this is so easy, I don't know why Cleo worries about it so much, Rikki said.
Speaking of Cleo we owe her an apology, I said.
We know Em, Bella said.
Guys come on the engine has started we can go now, Rikki said.
As we left the island we kept talking about all of this.
In a few minutes we reached the docks where Zane was waiting.
Zane what are you doing here, Rikki asked.
Well if I remember correctly, you guys had taken my boat, and now something has come up and I need it, so I just came here and waited, Zane said.
Well the boat is all yours, I said.
Great, how was your trip, he asked.
Amazing, Bella said.
Thats good to hear, oh I'm running late, catch you girls later, He said jumping into his boat.
We all headed towards my house, usually we would go to the juice net cafe but right now it is in being rebuild into Rikkis cafe. Zane bought the cafe from the owner.
As we headed to my house we saw Byron and Will walk up to us.
Hey guys, Bella said.
Hey, girls Byron and I were just going swimming you wanna join us, Will said.
Not today, thanks, I said.
Since when do you turn down swimming, Byron said.
We just got back from camping, so we're tired, Rikki said.
Oh, Will said.
Maybe some other time, Byron said.
They both ran towards the beach and we all started walling back to my house.
We finally reached my Place.
As I rang the doorbell My mum answered it.
Hey mum,I said
Hey girls,She said.
How was your trip,she asked.
Great,I Said.
It was so fun,Rikki said.
Well, I'm glad that you all had an amazing time,my Mum said.
It was, we'll be in my room,I said walking upstairs.
I closed the door and we started talking.
You know Bella it's going to be hard trying to Stay out of water for us,cause Byron and Will love swimming and we used to join them,I said.
But now we can't swim,Bella said.
Can't you just tell them that you are tired of swimming, Rikki said.
Easy for you to say, Zane isn't a water lover while Will and Byron are, I said.
Em, this is one of the last things that you should worry about, Rikki said.
What other things do I need to worry about, I said.
Like dropping out of the swim team, Rikki said.
I forgot about that, I said.
And aren't you going to some resort, Bella said.
Yeah, I said.
How are you going to cancel them, Rikki said.
I don't know, I said.
I told you, you should not pack up your entire summer and schedule everything, Bella said.
Maybe Cleo will have a solution, she always has something, I said.
Suddenly Bella's phone started ringing.
It is Will, Bella said.
Take it, Rikki said.
Hey Will, Bella said.
After awhile after Bella had just turned of her phone.
We got a problem, Bella said.
What now, Rikki said.
Well it's kinda my problem but Will has planned out this perfect summer which mostly includes diving, Bella said.
Now I get why Cleo was so worried, things are impossible when you're a mermaid, I said.
Well lets go to the marine park in the afternoon and ask Cleo for some help, Rikki said.
You know what I just understood, I said.
What, Bella said.
I finally understand why Cleo worries so much about water like before Lewis becoming a merman she was completely alone, we used to tease her and call her an aquaphobic and she never fought back and let herself be called that, so people would think that she's an aquaphobic and that is the reason why she doesn't go water, I said.
And peaople including us believed that, Bella said.
Come to think of it, we have troubled her so much that I don't even remember why we started it, Rikki said.
Emma, breakfast is ready you and the girls can take eat upstairs if you want, My mum said.
Thanks mum, I yelled as I went downstairs and took our plates.
I went back upstairs and put the plates down on a table and we all started eating them.
Your mum makes really good yogurt you know that, Rikki said.
I know, I have been eating it since I was a kid, I said.
We all then started talking about random stuff till the afternoon.
