      The Mermaid's Dolphin - Coral Ripley

      Chapter One

      The mermaid on the sign had a glittering golden tail, long red hair, and a friendly smile. She looked so happy that Emily couldn’t help smiling back as she looked up at her.

      The Mermaid Café, Mom read aloud as she came to stand next to Emily, her arms full of boxes. I can’t believe it’s really happening!

      Emily grinned. Her mom had wanted to have her own café for as long as Emily could remember. And when Dad had lost his job a few months ago, the family had decided to move to the seaside and make her dream come true.

      It’s beautiful, Emily said to Mom. And it was. All the shops on the old cobblestone road were painted pretty pastel colors—minty green, lemon yellow, and sugary pink—but Emily thought the café was the prettiest of all, a pale blue that matched the bit of sea she could see twinkling down at the bottom of the hill. It was so different from the big city they’d lived in before.

      Coming through! Dad yelled as he staggered over with more boxes. He stopped to plant kisses on both Emily’s and Mom’s cheeks and then went indoors, whistling. Emily hadn’t seen him so cheerful in a long time. She was pleased her parents were happy—but she couldn’t help feeling sad at the same time. She’d left her school, her friends, and everything she knew, back at home. Sandcombe was so pretty, but she didn’t know anyone here. How would it ever feel like home?

      The mermaid on the café sign looked down at her kindly. It’ll all be fine, she seemed to say. Emily took a deep breath and followed her parents inside.

      Our things go in the apartment upstairs, Em, and the cooking stuff goes in the kitchen, Mom directed. I need to start baking and get this café up and running! Just be careful not to let the cat—

      An orange blur streaked down the stairs and ran out the front door.

      Out, Mom finished.

      Sorry! Dad clattered down the stairs, ducking so he didn’t hit his head on the old beam.

      Dad! Emily exclaimed. Nemo is supposed to stay inside for two weeks so that he can get used to his new home. She couldn’t bear it if Nemo got lost.

      Emily was too little to remember much about when her parents had adopted her as a toddler, but she had always loved animals, so they had promised her a pet when they officially became a family.

      Nemo was old and grumpy now, but he was still her furry best friend—what if something happened to him?

      I’m sure he’ll be fine. I know you still see him as a cute kitten, but he can look after himself. He’s probably terrorizing some seagulls already, Dad said.

      Want me to help you look for him? Mom offered.

      It’s okay, I’ll go, Emily said. You continue setting up the café.

      Thanks, darling, Mom said gratefully.

      I’ll get his bed ready for when he comes home. And yours as well, I suppose, Dad joked.

      The bell dinged as Emily went through the front door and Mom squealed with delight. Emily chuckled, then started to make her way down the cobbled street, toward the seafront.

      Nemo! she called. She knew Dad was right—Nemo was a big, tough, ginger tomcat—but she still worried about him getting lost. What if he was confused, or scared?

      The narrow street opened up to a big harbor filled with boats, and a little sandy beach, curved like a crescent moon. As Emily walked along the harbor wall, she peered behind a stack of lobster traps, keeping her eyes out for a flash of orange fur. A girl about her age wearing blue overalls ran up the steps from the beach. Her long dark hair had a red bow in it, and she was carrying flip flops. She stopped in front of Emily, her bare feet covered in sand.

      Have you lost something? she asked.

      My cat! Emily told her. He’s supposed to stay indoors for two weeks because we just moved here.

      Oh no! said the girl sympathetically. "I’ve always wanted a
