A/N: So I'm starting a story with a series of one-shots in the 'What if?' factor. Each chapter will get a 'What if?' question, and a short story to go along with it. This will be a sort of story to do in between my other one, so I won't update that often. Hope you enjoy! Remember, this story may not go as the episode does, but that's because the two characters are switched, so it doesn't go as planned in the episode.

Story 1: What if Charlotte was Cleo and Cleo was Charlotte?

3rd POV

Charlotte's mouth twisted in concern as she watched the sprinkler in the front of the school swirl around. She squinted against the shine of the sun as she eyed her next class—yes, she definitely had to cross the yard to get to there. Charlotte didn't want to get wet, because once she got wet, her mermaid form would come out of hiding. She twisted her head around to see if there was anyone near. Seeing a lack of students, she held out her hand and twisted it. Automatically, the sprinkler went the other way. Charlotte smiled. This was a great part of being a mermaid—she had amazingly cool powers to help her avoid any unnecessary contact with water.

But just as the sprinkler jumped the other way, it hit a girl who was coming from the opposite direction. Her mouth opened in an O of surprise as the unexpected water molecules hit the front of her skirt. Her brown hair that was neatly tied back behind her head let loose a few strands as she jumped back in shock. She smiled in embarrassment as a few students handed her some paper towels to dry her now wet skirt.

Ashamed, Charlotte raced over to the unfamiliar girl. "I am so sorry!" she apologized, looking at the soaked skirt.

"Don't be," the girl said, smiling a little. "It wasn't your fault."

Charlotte gave her a guilty smile. "Right. Um, my name is Charlotte. I haven't seen you around here. You new?"

"Yeah," the girl said with a timid smile. "I am. My name is Cleo."

"Nice to meet you," said Charlotte. "You'll love it here."

"Well, so far the only thing I've seen is the entrance, a few nice students," she cast a glance at Charlotte, "And a defective sprinkler. So, I guess I need to warm up a little to this school."

Just then, Lewis came over. Cleo instantly turned her attention from her skirt to the boy. "And who is this?" she asked, a little more enthusiastic than she should have been. But Charlotte figured she was new, and she needed a few friends. Why not start with them?

"Lewis," he said, extending his hand to meet Cleo's. Cleo instantly took it, blushing a deep scarlet red, but trying to hide it. She held on a little too long after the shake. "Cleo," she returned.

A little envious, Charlotte wrapped her arm around his waist. "And he's my boyfriend." Charlotte kissed Lewis on the cheek.

"Of course," Cleo said slowly, a hint of sadness to her tone. Charlotte instantly became a little suspicious.

"And what happened to you?" asked Lewis, pointing to Cleo's soaked clothes. Confused, Cleo followed his gaze to her skirt. "Oh, this? The sprinkler just, like, jumped at me."

"Did it now?" asked Lewis, looking from the water stain to Charlotte. She shrugged, trying to look as perplexed as Cleo.

"I guess it just broke," said Charlotte. Cleo looked unconvinced at the now fine sprinkler, happily making the already green grass brighter and healthier.

"Oh, well," Cleo said, shoving her collected books into her bag.

"I thought you were new," Charlotte said, motioning to the books.

"I am," Cleo said. "These are just my books I figured I'd bring along. I'm really into my grades. Especially science."

"Really?" asked Lewis. "Science is, like, my world!"

"He's a real science freak," Charlotte said, planting another kiss on his cheek. "But he's my freak."

"Do you have the advanced science course?" asked Cleo, ignoring Charlotte fully now.

"Yeah," said Lewis, now sort of forgetting Charlotte too.

"Really?" asked Cleo. "I have it, too!"

"What period?" asked Lewis, pretty much forgetting Charlotte too now.

"Fifth," Cleo said with a smile, giving only a mere glance at her schedule.

"Hey, me too!" Upon hearing the bell, Lewis said, "So I'll see you then?"

"Definitely," Cleo said, exchanging a bold smile. Not wanting to be left out, Charlotte said bye. Cleo smiled at her, and, seemingly nice enough returned the gesture of kindness.

Charlotte tugged Lewis to their next class, as Cleo, her clothes now partially dry, watched the two lovebirds go by. With a smile, she promised herself that no matter what it took, Lewis would be hers.
