[phone ringing]

-Hello? -Hi, Em.

Wait a second. Rikki's on the line, too.

So, our anniversary.

Yeah, a year ago tomorrow, we became mermaids.

-Feels longer. -Come on.

It's the best year of our lives. You know it.

Definitely been the most weird.

So, I was thinking we should celebrate. Just the three of us.

I love it.

Great. I'll organise everything. Leave it to me.

You're not gonna make us wear party hats, are you?

Like I said, leave it to me.

[beeps]

[Zane] Yeah.

Watch it and weep, Nate. You're going down.

Yes!

Give it up for Zane!

Zane, can you keep the volume down, please?

I can. But it's just so hard not to brag when you're...

-invincible. -Just take your shot, man.

[sighs] So eager to get steam-rolled.

How good was that?

-You okay? -[Emma] I'm fine.

You should apologise.

Relax, it's a juice bar. Getting splashed is an occupational hazard.

Leave her be. She said she was fine.

Zane, she's upset. Now, get your hands off me.

[sighs]

Emma, are you okay?

-I'm fine! -Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm sure. Don't worry. Just leave me alone.

Who cares if she gets some juice on her? I need some change for the pool table.

-Look. I'm warning you. -Oh, come on, I'm a customer, man.

[Zane] I don't wanna wait because the waitress is clumsy.

Okay. I think it would be best if you left.

-Are you kicking me out? -I'm asking you to leave the premises.

-[laughs] You're kicking me out. -Yes. Out! Now!

So I was thinking maybe we could grab some take-away tomorrow night.

Maybe see a movie?

It's your choice.

Aw, what's the matter?

Nothing. It sounds great.

-And that's a good thing, right? -Yeah, sure.

It's just that I usually do all the organising...

-Oh, I'm sorry, I just-- -No, no. I like it.

-It means you're happy. -Yeah. I am.

What's going on?

Tough-guy Ash threw me out.

Why?

There was this little accident with Emma.

She got wet. She made it to the cool room. No harm done.

I made sure she was all right, and he threw me out.

-You coming? -No, I'll catch you later.

-You okay? -Yeah. I'm fine.

Let's talk.

-That was so close. I nearly got-- -You realise that Ash threw Zane out?

Yeah.

Fair enough. It was his fault.

Hang on. He told me he tried to help you.

Help me?

No way. He knew what could happen to me and he couldn't care less.

That's not what he said.

Well, don't believe everything Zane tells you, I heard what he said.

Are you saying he's a liar?

Let me think about that.

Yes.

-Oh, hey. -Hey.

Guess what?

It's our one-year anniversary tomorrow.

-As mermaids. -Oh. Congratulations.

We're going to celebrate. Just the three of us. My place.

You're invited, too, of course. You have to come.

Yeah. Yeah, that'd be great.

Do you need any help?

Sure. Come on. Let's go tell Emma and Rikki.

This is so typical of you. You always thought the worst of Zane.

-You've never given him a chance. -This is about me now?

Maybe it is. Maybe you should've been more careful in the first place.

Uh, what's going on, guys?

Zane was thrown out of the juice bar. Ask Emma.

Hey, don't blame this on me. It was Zane's fault, not mine.

Come on. Whatever this is, we can sort it out. Right?

And I've got some great news.

Lewis has offered to help me with our anniversary party.

Isn't that great?

Isn't it?

-If she's going, I'm not. -Likewise.

We need to sort this out.

Okay. Fine. What do we do about Ms. Know-It-All Emma?

Rikki, I wish you'd both try to see each other's point of view.

I do. And she's wrong.

She's not totally wrong. And you're not totally right.

You know how Zane can be sometimes.

So you're on her side?

I'm not on anyone's side.

Well, just for once, Cleo, maybe you should be.

[doorbell rings]

-Did you speak to her? -Yeah.

Is she still being stubborn?

Emma, you're both being stubborn. We all just need to talk and--

We've already talked. She just won't listen to reason.

Ash did nothing wrong.

You agree with me, don't you?

I'm not saying anything.

Well, maybe just for once you should.

[door opens]

Cleo, the party, I've got it all sorted.

I've booked lights and a sound system.

That's great, Lewis. Look, about this party--

Cleo, can I have a word with you?

-You're not having a party here, are you? -Maybe just a small one.

No, it's not possible, Cleo. I'm working really bad hours this week.

I got to sleep when you get home from school, then I'm up at 1 a.m.

I need my sleep, Cleo. No parties.

Okay. We can have it somewhere else.

It's short notice but we can find somewhere else.

It doesn't matter. It's all going wrong, Lewis.

-Emma and Rikki are still fighting. -You guys will sort it out.

I don't think so. I mean, Emma and Rikki always disagree about stuff.

And I'm always the one in the middle.

But this time...

-This time, what? -This time it's serious.

I mean...

what if we were never mermaids? We'd never have been friends.

Maybe I just shouldn't have this party.

Hey, don't think like that. You guys are great.

You're the best friends ever, and it's got nothing to do with you being mermaids.

-Really? -Really.

-Thanks, Lewis. You're the best. -Hey.

Okay. Come on. Don't give up. Give them a call, get them together.

-Okay. -Do it on neutral territory.

[Rikki] Hi, Cleo.

Hey, Rikki.

And Zane?

-Rikki said you wanted to talk. -Well, yes, but with just Rikki.

We can talk in front of Zane.

-Actually, we can't because-- -What's he doing here?

What is this?

I wanted you both to come. To talk.

To work things out, but you weren't supposed to bring your boyfriends.

-Ash hasn't done anything wrong. -And neither has Zane.

He did. That's why I kicked him out.

You are so full of it.

-Really? -You know, I've seen your type before.

What's that?

Loud, desperate for attention, never had to work for anything in your life.

-You're pathetic. -Pathetic?

Okay. How's this?

Stop it! Stop it, this isn't helping!

Just go, both of you.

[grunts]

Why does a fight over two boys have to get between us?

-It's not my fault. -Oh, so it's mine?

See? You're doing it again.

This is our anniversary.

It's supposed to be special. We're supposed to be celebrating together.

-Cleo, I don't feel like celebrating now. -I don't wanna hear it.

Dad won't let me have a party at home,

so I was thinking, Mako Island.

Come on, guys.

This is important.

We're friends, aren't we?

Well, your friend is asking you to come.

Four o'clock.

Please.

Yeah, okay.

I suppose.

[exhales]

-I really appreciate this, Lewis. -Hey, happy to help. It's been fun.

You're gonna love this stuff. That place is gonna be pumping.

Well, thanks. You've been great.

-Well, see you out there. -Yeah, okay. I'll be out there in--

[water splashes]

Lewis?

What's all this? Planning a party or something?

Ah, yeah, something like that.

You haven't forgotten tonight, have you?

Tonight? Absolutely not.

No, I'm just helping out a friend, then I'll be back.

How could I forget my own plans?

What do you think I am, some kind of plan-forgetting guy?

Yeah, I was just checking.

-See you then. -I'll be there.

-You know you're not welcome here. -Yet here I am.

-So what are you gonna do about it? -The cops are only a phone call away.

[scoffs]

Knock yourself out.

I'll just, uh, keep myself amused until they get here.

You know, Zane, all this dancing around, waving pool cues.

It's lame.

-Oh, you think? -Doesn't make you a better player.

You think you can take me on a pool table?

Easy.

Okay, tough guy.

Put your money where your mouth is. One game. If I win, I'm back.

If I lose, I'll stay away.

You're already banned, Zane. There's nothing in there for me.

-Yeah, I thought so. -[curtain jangling]

You're all talk. Afraid you're gonna lose, huh?

Okay, big mouth.

Rack 'em up.

What's going on?

Just a bit of friendly competition. Well, maybe not so friendly.

Right?

Right.

Wow.

Lewis, thanks.

It looks great.

-What's the laptop for? -Ah. Now, that's a surprise.

We should wait until Emma and Rikki get here.

Well, it looks amazing. Thanks, Lewis.

They're gonna love it.

Yeah. So when are they getting here?

Soon.

-Come on, Ash. You can do it. -You don't seriously think he can win?

-Go, Zane. -You don't need to talk him up, Rikki.

He does that enough for himself.

Come on. Take the shot. We haven't got all day.

-Oh! Who's the man? -You the man!

-Still feeling cocky? -Whatever.

Look. You left no space. That next shot's impossible.

Watch and learn, Ash.

Watch and learn.

Oh, I'm sorry. Was I supposed to be impressed by that?

Opportunity beckons, Ash.

Try not to blow it.

-You moved that ball. -I didn't touch it.

Dude, that's a penalty. That's two free shots.

Wha--? Since when?

Stop making up rules and take your shot.

Zane just can't help himself, can he?

-He didn't do anything. -Yeah, right.

What time do you make it?

Ah, half past. What time are they meant to be getting here?

A while ago, I guess.

Well, it is getting a bit late. Do you think they'll be long?

Why? Do you have to be somewhere?

Yeah, I've got a date with Charlotte.

-Oh. -I'm sorry. I kind of made plans.

And besides, this is your anniversary.

Yeah, sure. It's all right. Go. I'll be fine.

-You sure you'll be okay on your own? -Yeah. Don't worry about me. [chuckles]

Okay. See you later.

[Ash] Ooh!

-Feeling the pressure, Zane? -Keep talking it up, Ash.

I'm going to enjoy not having you around here.

Gonna clear this place of all that hot air.

Prepare to lose.

What's the matter? Too hot for you?

[chuckles]

-So close but so far. -Emma, see if the air conditioning's on.

I know what you're doing.

Who? Me?

What is this?

Cut it out.

That counts as a shot.

-You're cheating. -You started it.

Don't make me finish it.

[thunder rumbling]

[electricity crackling]

Are you guys totally out of your mind? What do you think you're doing?

Aren't you meant to be somewhere?

We're really sorry, Lewis.

-We kind of-- -Forgot? Yeah, I know.

You'd better hurry. She won't wait there forever.

-You coming? -Sorry, prior engagement.

I've no idea.

[sighs] So...

we're just gonna let this go?

[scoffs] I can't be bothered anymore.

-You? -Not really.

-You wanna get a drink? -Done. Sure.

But don't expect it to be on the house, though.

[Ash] What'll it be?

Hey!

Am I too late?

Actually, yeah. The movie started half an hour ago.

-I was starting to worry about you. -I'm so sorry. I should have called.

But don't worry. I've got everything sorted.

-What's this? -Your favourite food, as ordered.

And afterwards, I thought we could watch your favourite movie of all time,

-Breakfast at Tiffany's. -[chuckles]

-You didn't? -I did.

I know you've seen it like, a hundred times, but...

It's perfect.

She's not here.

[sighs] We're too late.

Wow.

She really went to a lot of trouble.

-We should find her. -Yeah.

Hey.

Rikki, I just wanted to say I'm really sorry.

Me, too. I can be a little bit stubborn sometimes.

Yeah, you can.

I can be pretty stubborn, too. I'm probably worse than you.

Yeah, you are.

Come on. Where do you think she'd go?

I'm right here.

-What about Ash and Zane? -[Emma] Ah, forget them.

Yeah. They're just boys. Cute boys, but stupid, competitive boys.

[Emma] We're really sorry, Cleo.

It won't happen again.

-Until next time. -[Emma] No next time.

Yeah. You were right.

Boyfriends are one thing, but you guys are more important.

[Rikki] Forgive us?

Please?

-Maybe. -[chuckles] Great.

Come on. Let's get out and get this party started.

Wait. [chuckles]
