Since Cleo and Lewis got back together as girlfriend and boyfriend, Cleo herself had been ten times happier than before. 

It was full moon time and the girls and I planned a sleepover at the Gilbert house. Emma had the house to herself, which was perfect timing. 

After meeting up with Rikki and Emma at the marina, we found Cleo with Lewis at the jetty.

"Aw, do you really have to do that in public?" Rikki teased them as they were about to kiss each other.

"Uh, yes," Lewis remarked, "In fact, we do."

"Too much PDA," I shook my head grinning at them.

"We've gotta get a move on," Emma suggested to Cleo, "We've got plenty to do before the full moon."

"Be extra thorough," Lewis warned us, "I've got a theory. It's gonna be a special one tonight."

It confirmed to me he was heading out to see Max and get some information on the full moon.

"We can handle anything the full moon throws at us," Rikki stated confidentially.

"Bye, Lewis," Emma smiled and turned to leave.

I followed her and Rikki but realized Cleo was taking her time. The three of us turned to find her kissing Lewis on the lips.

"Ugh. Please," Rikki remarked and yanked Cleo away from him.

"Next time, you two will need to be chaperoned," I grinned at Cleo and Lewis.

As we headed in the direction of the cafe, Patrick came around and made his way to the jetty.

"Hey, Pat, what's up?" I wondered.

"Lewis called me up for something," he replied, "It might take an hour or so. I'll fill you in once we learn more."

"No prob."

Patrick headed for the jetty. I caught up with the other girls as they waited for me, not wanting to burn daylight.

"I thought we were going to your place," Cleo wondered as the four of us arrived at the cafe.

"We are," Emma nodded, "Doesn't mean we can't get a juice first."

"And chat up a certain guy behind the counter," Rikki smirked referring to Ash.

Just as we were about to head inside, I noticed Charlotte seated by herself at one of the tables. Ever since Cleo and Lewis got back together, she's held a huge grudge against Cleo. Charlotte hadn't tried to contact me during the time Cleo went missing. Plus, some minutes before the incident, Charlotte stole Cleo's locket feeling that since it used to be Gracie's, it belonged to her.

"Uh, guys," Cleo pointed her out.

"Do you think we should warn her about the full moon tonight?" Emma asked, "She hasn't experienced one yet."

"No. Let her learn the hard way," Rikki smirked.

"And reveal our secret to the world?"

"Not exactly ours," I stated, "She'd be revealing herself to the world, specifically."

Rikki sighed and crossed her arms, "All right, but I'm not doing it."

"Don't look at me," Cleo remarked, "She hates me now that I'm back with Lewis."

"I'm not going alone," I shook my head.

"We'll all do it together," Emma suggested, "Come on."

The four of us approached Charlotte.
