Emma - Pt. 1

(Y/N) = Your name

Surfing. It’s your life. Everyday, your bones ache for the water and your board. Everyday, you soothe that ache with a fervor that matches that of a pro-surfer. Some people call you crazy, you call it passion.

And passion is what led you out here on the water so early, paddling the gentle ocean water as the sunrise turns the sky into a haze of oranges, reds, and pinks. It bleeds into the water, transforming the space around your drifting limbs into the same colors as the sky.

Singing was something that also set a fire in your soul, causing your soft saprano to leave your lips and hover over the water. You sing of the moon falling in love with the sun and the stars being their choir. The sky always seems to inspire your music.

You smile to yourself as you use your hands to paddle yourself a bit closer to the sun, away from the shore. Your song ends on a delicate note, singing that the sun and moon would meet again some other day.

In the height of your peace and happiness, something touches your leg. Something scaley.

Panic grips your chest as you snap your head downward to see what it is. There is only a flash of orange as a giant tail swims away from you. Your mouth drops open.

Zane Bennet was right.

- -

You wobble back onto shore. Your twin brother stands on the sands, waiting for you with his hands on his hips. It’s odd, he doesn’t usually wait for you. He’s more of a night surfer himself. Though you’re happy about it nonetheless, you need a friendly face after your scare.

“Woah there, (Y/N), you look like you’ve seen a ghost!” He reaches out and takes your board, setting a hand on your shoulder to steady you.

“Yeah, Byron, just,” you pause. If Zane Bennet wants this sea monster so bad but it saved his life, there was no reason to somehow make another scent trail for him to track for an animal that obviously had a good nature. You smile weakly at your brother. “Just saw a pretty big fish is all.”

“Dang, must’ve been real big to make you go white like that,” he says, slinging an arm over your shoulders as he walks you away from the beach, your board under his other arm.

Byron glances up to the sky, as if trying to find the words for something. “Uh, can I ask you a favor, (Y/N)?”

You tilt your head towards him, which is slightly hard to do with him dragging you along with his steady pace. So that’s why he was up so early, he needed to talk with you. “Yeah, sure, what is it?”

“I’ve got a lesson with Elliot Gilbert today but there also just so happens to be a beach cleanup that I really want to go to.” His voice dies out as he looks off into the distance. He doesn’t want to finish the thought unless you already know what he wants.

You smirk and give him a small hit on the shoulder. “I’ll take over for you.” You give a michevious shrug. “Sides, I’m better than you at surfing anyway.”

“Hey!” He exclaims, mock offense scrunching up his face. “I’ve won awards!”

“So have I, Goldilocks.”

He takes his arm from your shoulders and elbows you good-naturedly. “If I’m Goldilocks, then you’re one of the bears.”

“Very funny.” You roll your eyes and then stop walking. Byron looks back at you, confused.

“Gilbert…” A teasing smile bends your lips as it dawns on you. “Elliot Gilbert, as in Emma Gilbert’s younger brother?”

Byron’s cheeks flush at the mention of Emma’s name. “Uh, yeah, Emma’s his sister.”

You gasp and poke him antagonistically. “No wonder you’ve been doing these lessons for next to nothing! It’s your crush’s brother!”

His face turns a deeper red and he scratches the back of his neck. “I just, uh, didn’t wanna-”

You laugh and slap his back. “Don’t worry, I won’t hold it against you. You’re too sweet for me to do that.”

Your feet hit the grass that indicates the end of the beach. Byron and you march foward to your beach home.

“Mom up yet?” You ask, kicking a rock with your bare feet. The image of the tail comes back to your mind. It still perplexes you, so you’re keeping your mind on your stomach. “I’m feeling some French toast.”

“She thought so, already cooking it.” Byron smiles and brings you under his arm once again. He is happy to have such an understanding sister as you even if your mind is somewhere else at the moment.

- -

You lean against a rock as Byron coaches you on what to teach Elliot. Apparently, he’s been bringing Elliot out on the water for the last few lessons and would like if you could paddle out a bit with him, just to keep getting the boy used to balancing on the water.

You nod intermitantly, paying close attention. You aren’t accustomed to teaching anyone surfing but you are very sure you can do it regardless.

“Okay, the beach cleanup starts in a few,” he says, glancing at the entrance of the beach for a second. “Elliot should be here soon enough, lessons usually start at two and it’s about,” he checks his watch, “one-forty-five right now.” His eyes travel back to the entrance.

You smirk. “Emma’s usually the one that brings him, isn’t she?”

His ears burn as he starts backtracking from you. “Alright, well, I’ve gotta get going!”

“Mmhm, see you later, Loverboy!” You shake your head and smile as he starts jogging away from you and down the beach.

You wait there for about five more minutes before Emma and Elliot arrive. You push off your rock and walk over to them, waving your arm.

“Hey, Elliot!” You smile at the young boy as he waves a little bit, almost shy like, and then look to his sister. “Hey, Emma, good to see you again!”

She appears both confused and slightly…scared at your presence? How odd.

You put a hand on your chest. “I’m sorry! Byron must not have told you. He had something come up so I’m taking over the lesson for him today. That okay?”

Her face shifts back into something more cordial and laid back. “Yeah, that’s fine! No worries!”

You can’t wipe the expression of fear in her eyes from her mind. That was just so strange .

“Well, come on, Elliot! Let’s get into the water!” You gesture to the water and he rushes past you towards the ocean.

“Don’t forget your ankle strap!” Emma yells after him. You smile at her care and go for your board, ready to hit the water.

- -

You’re completley worn out by the end of the lesson. Elliot may be a sweet kid but, gracious, he needed an explanation for every suggestion you gave him.

Emma had stayed through the entirety of the lesson and, to your slight discomfort, seemed to have been watching you very closely throughout it.

So, you were pooped.

“Well, Elliot, just keep whatever I’ve taught you in mind but remember that Byron’s your teacher teacher so, if I’ve said something that contradicts what he’s taught you, listen to him before me. Alright, Sweetheart?” You’re kneeling in front of him, talking with him eye to eye.

“Got it, thank you, (Y/N)!” Elliot looks up to Emma. “Are we ready to go, Emma?”

Emma glances at you and then back at her brother. “Actually, Elliot, I need to talk to (Y/N) really quick. Is that alright?” You cock an eyebrow and stand up, wondering if you had done something wrong somehow.

“Yeah, sure, I’ll just go in the water or something,” Elliot says, smiling brightly, glad for more time in the water.

After Elliot plods off to the water, Emma faces you. “Um, just so you know, I didn’t want to talk to you because of anything about Elliot’s lesson, you did great. I just have a…personal question.”

You try to suppress a smile as your mind immediately hopes that Emma wants to ask about Byron. “Oh, good. I thought I was in trouble.”

“No, no.” She shakes her head and grins amusedly. Her face grows serious again. “But, I was wondering, I have a personal project, uh, a thing where I look into surfing and surfers. And, I was wondering, what is the usual time for a surfer of your caliber going out on the water for, well, practice and if you, well,” she pauses, as if hesitant to ask her next question, “if you’ve seen anything while out on the water that’s kind of…odd?”

The orange tail from this morning flashes back to your mind’s eye. You’re immediately suspicious. “That depends on what you think is odd, Emma.” You lighten your tone to not seem accusatory of a girl that’s asking an innocent enough question. “Though, I do usually go out early morning to practice while the sun’s rising, but I have seen some pretty big fish at that time of day. Nothing completely crazy. Nothing like what Zane Bennet’s seen.” You let that last statement float in the air for a second as you, paying very close attention, see Emma’s face relax extensively.

How weird.

She claps her hands and smiles brightly. “Well, that’s all I really wanted to know! Thank you so much for answering!” She awkwardly starts walking towards the water. “C’mon, Elliot! We’ve gotta get going!”

They wave to you as they pass by you again and you politely wave back. Your suspicions keep growing.

What is that girl hiding?

I think the reason the show writers replaced Byron with Ash in season 2 was because Byron was a terrible love interest to begin with. No wonder Rikma shippers go hard, she literally had more chemistry with Rikki than him lmao

But fr, Byron was exactly the opposite of Emma; they were both athletes, but while she was serious and focused and dedicated, he was easygoing and uncommitted. Writing him as a contrast to Emma was unclever as he just ended up being all the traits she hated. I think no episode shows it better than the swimming competition one. I think by the end of it the writers realised these two had no chemistry and were better off as friends, so much so that I often forget the school dance episode happened bc of how little influence it had on them at that point.

Ash on the other hand, is the different kind of contrast to Emma - he's just like her. He's a perfectionist, he always thinks he's right, he believes in trial and error and more than ever doing so with a smile. And he's better than her at her own game, and that itches her. That actually creates character development. Where Byron lacked in drive for Emma, Ash flourished. And while S2 is Emma's least focused season, she goes through much more progress. Granted, it goes under the radar a lot.

Emma ended S1 the same kinda girl she started it. S2 had a lot of challenges for Emma that pushed her out of her comfort zone - to the point where the season literally concludes with her arc of struggling to be open and vulnerable coming to completion - and her going from hating Ash with burning passion to realising she can let go and allow other people's excellence in her life was just one of the great Emma arcs of season 2.

the way ash was such a disposable, one dimensional character that they just didn't even bother explaining why he was gone in s3. they really said without emma this man is literally a brick and has no reason to be in the show. and they were Right

#they actually did this with byron too like..... #you know for damn sure if zane's actor couldn't return for a season they would've had at LEAST one line about it #they saw emma's love interests and said We Do Not Care #h2o just add water #emma gilbert #anti ash dove

H2O characters and the type of LGBTQ+ they are

Emma: lesbian but denies it, grew up in a family where being gay wasn't really an option and she never was educated about it, accepts it as she grows up but her parents don't know

Lewis: the coolest bisexual you've ever met. Super liberated, vibes with everyone, is not afraid to paint his nails

Charlotte: a loner art lesbian kinda gal. Becomes super successful artist, moves to france and lives with a partner for 40 years yet never marry her

Kim: the kind of girls that says they're bisexual because they kissed a girl ONCE while drunk

Rikki: says she's bisexual, kinda hates men. Would give them up so easily

Byron: openly a bisexual sibce 6th grade. a literal twink, he's definitely someone's bottom boy

Bella: the hottest bisexual you've ever met. When she realised she liked girls there was no turning back for her

Elliot: very loner gay, tries to blend in with the guys but eventually realizes he doesn't want to. Grows up to realise she's trans girl

Will: technically bi, but it's clear he's just gay curious and with time exclusively dates guys while still claiming he's "bi" so people wouldn't judge straight away

Zane: grew up thinking he's straight, realised he actually likes men late at life, and now he's probably someone sugar daddy at 28. Likes twinks exclusively

Ash: hooked up with a guy drunk at a party once, definitely liked it, denies it forever despite having many gay friends and being cool with them

Cleo: the straightest thing in the world I couldn't
