Crossing Tails

Chapter 1

A Whole New World

Author's notes: I don't own Mako Mermaids or H20: Just Add Water. I wish I did though.

Summary: Basically The Mako Mermaids and H20 Shows are set in the same place but in different universes/different worlds. This was requested by a fellow fanfiction user and I agreed to write it for them. So here's the first chapter. Enjoy! :) It will be 40 chapters long that is a guarantee.

Cleo, Emma and Rikki swam into the underwater entrance to the Moon pool. Lewis was there with them doing more tests trying to figure out what had caused their change. They had been there for hours.

The Moon pool suddenly started bubbling. The girls looked down in shock.

"Lewis?!" Cleo yelled, "The full moon is above us!"

"That's not possible it won't up for another..." He trailed off when he saw the moon. A bright flash of light went off ; nearly blinding them and they all blacked out.

They woke up the next morning... In the Moon pool.

"What happened?" Emma said as she sat up rubbing her head.

"I remember being in the Moon pool and Lewis was running tests..." Cleo said.

"That's all I can remember too." Rikki told them.

"Same here." Emma responded.

They heard a groan. They turned and found Lewis lying on the floor of the Moon pool.

"LEWIS!?" Cleo called frantically as they went over to him. "Are you okay?!"

"Fine, just dandy." He said biting back another groan of pain.

"What happened to us last night?" Emma questioned him.

"Well I was running tests and we lost track of time. We didn't notice that the full moon had risen." Lewis began, "All of a sudden the moon pool started bubbling and there was a flash of light and then I blacked out."

"So you don't really know what happened after that?" Rikki responded, "Great help you are."

"Rikki." Cleo said warningly.

"Okay, okay, sorry."

"We better get home." Emma pointed out, "Our parents must be worried."

The other girls nodded in agreement before they swam off leaving Lewis to finds his own way back to the mainland. He walked over to where there had been a ground entrance before; but I was completely sealed off; like there had never been an opening to begin with.

How was he supposed to get out of there now?

The girls went to their houses, or at least where their houses used to be. But their families weren't there.

They ran into the ocean and swam back to the Moon pool.

"Hey there you guys are." Lewis said relieved.

"What are you still doing here?" Cleo asked. "Why haven't you gone home yet?"

"The land opening is gone." He stated.

"What?!" The three girls said in unison.

"That's impossible." Rikki said.

"Well it is." Lewis gestured behind him with an arm. "See for yourself."

The girls looked and saw that as Lewis said the cave wall had sealed up.

"That's not all Lewis." Emma began.

"What?"

"Our houses are gone and so are our families." Emma replied. "It's like they never existed."

"What do you mean?" Lewis responded.

"We even went to the archives in town and looked through everything there." Cleo said. "And there's no mention of our families, us, or anything else."

"It's like we've been erased from existence." Rikki told him.

"That's impossible." Lewis said looking shocked.

"Well its happened Lewis." Emma said.

"What are we going to do?" Cleo asked.

"First we need to find out what the hell is going on." Rikki said. Her stomach growled. "After we find something to eat."

"But how am I supposed to get out of here?" Lewis asked, "I can't swim out like you can."

"We'll help you." Cleo offered.

"How exactly are you going to do that?" Lewis wondered out loud.

"Cleo and I will help you up to the ocean surface and then we'll swim to a secluded part of the beach." Emma proposed.

"Okay then what are we waiting for?" Rikki asked, "Let's go."

Rikki sunk under the surface and swam off. Emma and Cleo helped Lewis to the ocean's surface and they all swam to a secluded part of the beach. Where Rikki dried all of them off one by one.

After they all dried off they all started walking towards where The Juice net Café used to be. In its spot was a little place called the Ocean café. They all had kept everything they had in human form thankfully; so they had money. The four of them sat at an empty table. A few moments later a waitress came over to their table.

"May I take your order?" She asked. The name tag read Carly.

"Yes," Rikki began, "I'll have some prawns please... OH! and some lobsters!"

"Me too." Cleo added.

"And same here." Emma responded.

Lewis gave them a strange look but went on to order his food. "I'll just have a salad and a coke."

"What about you girls?" Carly asked, "Anything to drink?"

"Salt water." They all responded at once.

Lewis gave them another weird look and this time the waitress did as well. Carly responded, "We don't sell salt water here." She said still looking at them weirdly.

"Well then give us some salt and some water and then we'll mix it together to make salt water." Rikki shot back, "Not really hard is it?"

"I-I no.." Carly stuttered, "I'll get right on that." Carly hurried away.

"What is up with you three?" Lewis asked.

"What do you mean?" Emma asked.

"You're ordering all of this sea food and salt water to drink?" He said in reply.

"I just have a craving for seafood and salt water." Cleo said.

"Me too." Rikki added.

"Same here." Emma responded.

"Why do you think that is?" Cleo asked.

"I don't know." Lewis said, "I'll have to do some tests later to see."

Their food came and they began to dig in. Then they had to find out what was happening to them and why.

Author's note: Sorry it's so short. The next chapters will be longer. :)
