Chapter 6
"And then he took a picture of me." I said. Everybody at the dinner table was leaning in to listen. Mom was not very happy. "How could you do something so...so...stupid!?" said mom. "I'm sorry, but if I didn't go Luke would've kept bugging me and bugging me." I said. "This is not about you Stacy! As future queen you need to know what's best for your kingdom not for you!" she yelled. "Well maybe I need to worry about my own needs!" I cried. "As queen you need to-" "Well maybe I don't wanna be queen!" I interrupted. "She didn't mean it." said Aunt Mia to mom. "Yes I did mean it...every last word!" I stood up and swam to the staircase. I went into my room and sat on my bed. I didn't like getting into fights, especially with mom. "Well that was...entertaining." said Steph as he entered the room. I looked up at him. "I have to get that camera." I said. He sat down next to me. "He told me that you guys are cousins and he also told me about your parents." I said. "Well how about this, I'll go up to him, get the camera, and swim back." said Steph. I smiled. "Thanks." I said. I leaned over and gave him a kiss.
The next morning me and Steph swam to the beach. And just as we thought, sitting on the beach scanning through photos on a water proof camera was Luke. Steph swam to the sand and pulled himself behind some rocks and the transformation happened. I watched to see what would happen. I saw them talking to each other. "Hey." I jumped at the voice. I whirled around to see Ash (the girl that delivered the letter and came over for dinner.) "Oh hey." I said. I gave her a hug. "I need a friend right now." I said. We watched them talk for about 20 minutes then Steph held out his hand and Luke dropped the camera in it. They hugged and then Steph dove into the water. The transformation happened. "I got it." he said. "Oh good." I said with a sigh of relief. All of a sudden we heard a huge explosion. "What was that?" I asked nervously. Ash turned to us with a look of horror on her face. "A underwater bomb...from our city!"
