Chapter Five: Big Secret

"Camille,what's wrong? We don't have to go if you don't want to."

Well, I really wanted to go but, you have to be a gentleman.

She then smiled and returned to her usual bubbly self.

"I think I'd like to go for a walk instead, if you're up for it."

I agreed to a walk but her reaction was bugging me. Could she just not swim? Was she afraid of the water? Was she scared of drowning? Maybe she didn't have a bathing suit? No, it can't be that, I found her in a bikini.

"Hey, Camille" she turned to me and gave me a puzzled look. "Can you swim?"

She hung her head.

(Camille POV)

I looked at the ground and new the jig was up.

"If I tell you a secret then you have to promise not to freak out."

I saw him nod and I told him that I'd tell him when we got back to the house.

[Timeskip to them finally back from their date]

(Peter POV)

She put her plushie on the bed and turned to me.

"Do I get to know this big secret now?"

She slumped her shoulders and walked toward the bathroom. "Follow me. "

I followed her, growing curious by the second. I walk in and she's bent over the bathtub, filling it. When the tub fills up, she starts to undress and get in— "Whoah!" I turned around to give her privacy. After about a minute or two, she gave me the all clear and I turned around.

She had a tail. She had a tail! A TAIL!
