"Are you ready?" I asked Beckett, who was eyeing the shore with uncertainty.
"Are you sure I should? I mean, I'm not meant for the human world. What if I don't fit in?"
"You'll be fine," I said reassuringly. I grabbed his hand as we swam up to where the sand tickled against my stomach.
"On the count of three, we'll come up."
He nodded, then took a large gulp.
"One," I said. I gave him a smile as he did back.
"Two."
"Three," Beckett finished, bobbing up out of the water. I followed him a few seconds afterward, seeing him already transformed on the beach, gasping as he took in air. He ran a hand through his hair and looked down at his legs and his utterly orange swim trunks that were the same color as his tail.
"How do you use these?!" He said as he tried to stand up, only falling back again. I laughed and got behind him, holding him up and onto his feet.
"Now, just put one foot in front of the other while trying to gain balance," I explained, helping him out along the way.
He tried it and started wobbling everywhere, but he needed no more help once he had made it to the other side of the beach rather proudly. His smile was bright in the sun above the water, and his hair had turned from dark navy blue to semi-curly brown with a few blond pieces here and there. His eyes were still brightly green, as they were when he was five, and his complexion still a bit on the pale side, like most of the other British people, though he was Australian. He held the same six-pack on his chest as he did underwater, though I didn't really pay attention to it at all, and had half a small star tattoo on his right side, for the other half was covered by his trunks.
"So, where to, Snip?" he asked me. I chuckled as he said my nickname, because it's been years since I've heard it.
It's a long story, but it all started when we were in school back when I was in second grade. I was playing with the class pet, an angel fish with really long, thin fins, one day after school with Beckett. Somehow, I got the idea to try and cut off the fins, so I grabbed the sharpest piece of seashell I could find and snipped off one of the long fins. Well, the next day, we found out that the fish had died because it "lost a fin and couldn't swim" so it became mine and Beckett's little secret then on and he always called me Snip.
"Snip." I was pulled out of thought by Beckett, who was leaning against the palm tree I had sat near earlier.
"Oh, um- well I was thinking we would get you settled into my place. I'll talk to Niall about letting you borrow his clothes. You two seem about the same size. And I'll introduce you to my friends, their girlfriends and my boyfriend, Zayn," I said in one big rush.
"Okay, okay. Let's get going then," Beckett said, leading the way back to the apartment.

Zayn's POV*
Ally hadn't shown up in the last hour, so I had Liam drive around to try and spot her. He hasn't had much luck, though it's only been ten minutes since he left.
"Zayn, you need to eat," Niall said, shoving a slice of pizza in front of me.
"I'm not hungry," I replied, zipping through my news feed on my phone.
"Just listen to him, Zayn. He's trying to help you," Louis said, pushing the pizza closer.
"I said I'm not hungry!" I semi-yelled, thrusting the plate of pizza back at Niall.
"At least eat something," Harry butted in.
I gave him a death glare, making him look at the others in shock.
"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be in this mess! Ally would be right here with me, if you hadn't have helped Kyle and that stupid doctor! It's your fault, Harry! It's all your fault!" I yelled, shoving him down onto the floor. I reached down quickly, fist clenched. Connecting my fist straight into his jaw, Harry started yelping, sending Louis and Niall to his rescue. I sat on tip of him, ready to get at him again, until the two boys pulled me off, sending me into a fit.
"That little bastard is so going to get it! Just wait until I get to you, Styles! I'm going to make you wish you hadn't ruined mine and Ally's lives!" I screeched as Niall pulled me out of reach and into the corner.
"Zayn, what the fuck was that?!" he said. I looked over his shoulder and saw Harry grasping his jaw tightly.
"Mate, look at me," I heard Niall say. I ignored him and gave Harry another death look.
"He hurt her," I finally said after I was satisfied with my glares at Harry.
"We know he did, and it wasn't right-"
"No fucking way it was!" I yelled, trying to lunge toward Harry, who backed up.
"Stop it, Zayn! Why don't you two just talk about this?"
"You really think I'm going to talk to that dip-shit?" I asked angrily.
"Just do it!" Niall yelled.
"Fine. But I'm not making any promises about how this will turn out," I agreed, walking up to Harry slowly.
When I got in punching range, Harry stepped back, trying to avoid me.
"Listen here, fucktard," I started, "This is probably hurting me way more than it is you, but I promise I won't gouge your eyes out if you promise to tell me why you sent the information to the Lab Corp."
Harry stared blankly at me until word a came out of his now-bruised mouth.
"I was jealous of you. Ally really liked you and I got jealous. So I sent them. I don't really know why... I guess because I knew it would serve as sort of a punishment for Ally and a grievance towards you? Anyway, I'm sorry. I didn't understand how much you really cared. I didn't know it would cause this much trouble."
My fist unclenched as I looked at him.
"You were jealous?" I replied.
"Yes, it was stupid," Harry said. I shook my head.
"It was. But I'm not mad, Harry," I said.
"You're not?" he asked in shock. I shook my head a bit slower and looked at the other boys, then back at Harry.
"No. I'm just very disappointed." Then I walked up the stairs to mine and Ally's room.
