Pool Party

                                    

                                              
Cleo was trying to clean up her fist tank. She reached in, but accidentally got wet. 
"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, nooo!" said Cleo
"Cleo? Cleooo! Dad says you have to hurry up if you want a lift to school" said Kim, outside the door
"It's ok, Kim. I'll walk" said Cleo
"You do realize that you could have just used our powers to lift up the water, right?" I asked
Cleo face palmed "I forgot" 
I laughed "Don't worry. I've gotcha" 
I then slowly used my drying powers to make her tail go away. 
"Thanks" she smiled
"Anytime" I said

-----------------

We were now in Emma's place 
"This is a catastrophe of the highest order. Moisturizer is mainly water" said Cleo
"If dolphins can swim for Miles, so can we" said Rikki
"We can't moisturize ever again" said Cleo
"And? Moisturizing only clears the skin. There are some other perfect people who don't moisturize. It's not a big deal" I said
"We could swim all the way to Fiji. Could you imagine that?" asked Rikki
"Our skin will be dry and wrinkly" said Cleo
"No, it won't. We're mermaids now. We're gonna get wet more often as we swim. Our skin will be Perf!" I said
"I missed training today. First time in 6 years" said Emma 
"Oh, I'm sorry Emma" I said, she sadly smiled
"See? See how bad this is?" asked Cleo
"Hey, look on the bright side. We could use these powers for kicking butt. Like, if you haven't already, you could wet Zane with water again, and you *Points to Emma* could make yourself a Popsicle from....freaking lemonade, and you...well, we don't really know your power, but you could do pretty cool things as well. And I could could pretty much do anything. But I don't want us to be uneven. So like...don't get me wrong, I'm not the coolest. We're all cool" I said
"You're cool for saying you're not the coolest" said Rikki, I smiled
"We need to tell somebody" said Cleo
"No, we can't. I mean, the next thing you know is some guy torturing you to be their money maker. The only trustworthy person we can tell is Lewis" I said
"Speaking of Lewis, he was researching mermaids today" said Cleo
"Aww, how sweet. He listens to our words" I said 
"This isn't about that. We need to get help" said Cleo
"Cleo. We can't tell anyone! Not our parents, not our friends, except if we have known that friend most of our lives. But we can't risk anyone else knowing" I said
"Y/n's right, Cleo. We can't tell anyone" said Emma 
"Not even mom?" asked Cleo
"Not even mom" I said
"But I tell mom everything" said Cleo
"Not this time. Trust me, we're gonna find a way to make this fit into our lives, it'll get easier. We all have a way of drying and going back to normal. You can make a water ball of all the water molecules, and hold them up until you're dry, Emma can freeze all the water molecules, and then push them off, and Rikki can....well, we'll find the answer soon" I said
