THEME SONG: I've got a special power that I'm

not afraid to use.

Come on, this is my adventure.

This is my fantasy.

It's all about living in the ocean, being wild and free.

'Cause I'm no ordinary girl.

I'm from the deep, blue underworld.

Land or sea, I've got the power if I just believe.

'Cause I'm no ordinary girl, I'm from the deep, blue

underworld.

Land or sea, the world's my oyster.

I'm the pearl, no ordinary girl.

-300 mils rises 500 grams by 8 centimeters.

-Lewis, you know you're not supposed to be before school

without supervision.

-Yeah, uh, just give me one second, I'll be out of your

hair.

-What have you got there?

-This?

Ah, it's nothing.

It's just boring.

-How did you do that?

-Oh, uh, it's complicated.

I'm not really sure, yet.

-It's incredible.

Is this just water?

Lewis?

I know what you're up to.

-You do?

-You're finally going to hand something in for

your mid-year practical.

-Yeah!

Yeah, that's it, I just--

I'm not quite finished yet.

I'm still working through a few bugs.

-Well, make it quick.

You fail this and you fail the subject.

-Lewis!

Shouldn't we be getting ready for history?

-Yeah.

I've got to go, Miss Taylor.

-Of course.

I can't wait to hear all about that project.

-I bet you can't.

MISS TAYLOR [OFFSCREEN]: All right, everyone, get settled

and get out your textbooks, please.

-What were you thinking?

-I just wanted to run some tests.

Cleo, this anti gravity water is an important discovery.

-At school, in the middle of a science lab?

-Yes!

I want ti gauge how powerful this thing is!

-Lewis!

-OK, Cleo, to defy gravity like that, OK, that real

energy.

-Lewis, it's not--

-No, but you've got to think of the engineering

applications-- we're talking about renewal energy,

transport, batteries--

-Lewis!

-Yes?

-That's magic water from Mako Island.

Don't you think people are going to want to know where

that stuff came from?

-Yep.

Yes.

I'm sorry, you're right.

I guess I'm--

I'm getting a bit carried away.

-You want to know what's going on.

We all do, OK?

But until we find out, we have to keep this stuff

under wraps, OK?

-OK.

-I knew we couldn't trust Lewis with that water.

He just can't help himself, can he?

-OK, he did take it a bit far, but only because he wants to

know what makes the moon pool water so special.

And you know what?

He did find out some important stuff.

-Really?

Did he find out what makes the water go all crazy?

-Well no, not exactly.

-There you go.

-Rikki, he's just trying to help.

-Well, he's not.

And if he keeps messing around with it, then he's just going

to lead everyone to us.

-I've already spoken to him, all right, so

please just drop it.

-Have you seen Bella lately?

-Oh, no, come to think of it, hardly at all.

Where's she been?

-I'll give you one guess.

-[humming]

-That's nice.

What's that, a love song?

-Hey!

I was just um--

-Thinking about someone special?

-Maybe.

He's so mysterious.

He went diving this morning really deep and he just--

-You followed him diving?

-Yeah.

He's amazing.

He held his breath forever.

Underwater he's just-- well, he's just like us.

-Does he have a tail?

-No, Rikki, he does not have a tail.

-Then he's not like us, Bella.

You really need to be careful.

He cannot know we're mermaids.

-Zane and Lewis know we're mermaids.

-She's right, Rikki.

Just be careful.

Take it slowly.

Make sure you can trust him.

-Will!

Hey!

-Hi!

-How's things?

-OK, I guess.

-Um, so I was thinking, next week's exam week.

Maybe we could do some revision together?

-Yeah, uh, OK.

That'd be great.

-OK.

-Taking it slowly, huh?

-She'll be fine.

-So this is a place, here.

-Wow.

-It's an old boat house.

My parents thought I needed my own space.

-Cool!

Where did you get all this stuff?

-All over the place.

Some from Hawaii, some from the Maldives, some from Mako.

Hey!

Check this out!

It's an imperialis.

From off the coast of Kenya.

I found that at 20 meters.

-Pretty.

So do you ever use scuba gear?

-What? no, not interested.

I like it natural, just me and the sea.

-How do you hold your breath for so long?

-Training.

Got to do it every day.

-Well, it's good that you've got that thing that helps you

get down as well.

-The mono fin?

-Yeah, it really powers you along, doesn't it?

Just like a dolphin.

-Where have you seen one in action?

-Oh, um, I don't know.

I must have read about it somewhere.

But they're cool, huh?

-Yeah.

Heh.

-So, should we get right down to it?

-Huh?

-Your revision?

-Oh, yeah, uh, I normally do my training at this time, but

I guess I can miss it for one day.

-Oh, well I don't want to muck up your routine.

-Well, you sure?

-Yeah, we can meet up at the cafe once you're done.

-OK.

Sounds good.

-All right.

I'll see you later, then.

-See you.

-So you told Rikki about the water testing?

-Yes, I did.

-Oh, she wants to hurt me now, doesn't she?

-Probably.

I'd steer clear of her if I were you.

Look, I understand you were just trying to help.

-Yeah.

-And Miss Taylor didn't say anything, so we're all clear.

-Lewis!

Where is that project of yours?

-Oh, um, about that, it broke.

-Well, I hope you can fix it by tomorrow.

-Sorry, I don't think I can.

-That's a shame.

-Uh-huh.

-The practical is 60% percent of your

semester mark, remember?

-How could I forget?

-Pull out all stops, Lewis.

I think you're onto something extraordinary there.

-Wow, Bella, nice outfit.

-Thanks!

-You always wear that when you study?

-Yeah, yeah, it's nothing.

It's just the usual.

Have you seen Will?

-Uh, no, no, I haven't seen him.

-OK.

I can wait.

-Here.

On the house.

-Thanks.

I was going to wait for Will.

-You know, sometimes guys can be forgetful, not to mention,

plain stupid.

If you're not totally clear with what you want, they're

just not going to get it.

-I'm going to call him.

-No, I didn't mean that you should--

[ringing telephone]

WILL [ON PHONE]: Hey!

-Will, hi, it's Bella.

Where are you?

-Oh, sorry, is that the time?

I've been training.

-Oh.

WILL [ON PHONE]: I'm not sure I can make it now.

Something's come up.

-Oh, that's OK, that's fine.

Can we do it same time tomorrow?

BELLA [ON PHONE]: Yeah, yep, that should be fine.

-Great.

-OK, see ya.

WILL [ON PHONE]: Bye.

-He was training.

-Let me guess-- he lot track of time.

Do you really think this guy is that into you?

He stood you up.

-Look, this was just about study, OK?

See you.

FEMALE SPEAKER [OFFSCREEN]: Hey!

How's it going, stranger?

-Hey!

You've been working out, I see.

Wow, you look great.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[door closing]

FEMALE SPEAKER [OFFSCREEN]: Wow, this is awesome!

I love it!

WILL [OFFSCREEN]: Yeah, well, it's taken me awhile.

-Oh, look at this stuff.

This is so you, Will.

WILL [OFFCREEN]: Oh yeah, just bits and pieces

-You've got everything here!

Is this that stuff you've collected from overseas?

-You know, just school and stuff.

-Hey, isn't this mine?

I really missed you, Will.

-Yeah? me, too.

-It's so great to see you.

What have you been doing since I've been gone?

[crash]

[splash]

-What was that?

-No idea.

-Yep, it's definitely the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

It's almost like it's actually alive.

-Yeah, well Lewis thinks it could be a whole

new source of energy.

It just keeps going on forever.

-That's incredible.

I say we trash it.

-What?

-We can't have magic water sitting around.

Sooner or later, someone's going to figure out

what makes it work.

So I'll vaporize it.

-Wait, please.

I'll make sure Lewis dismantles it.

I just wish there was some way he could show people.

He's going to fail science now.

-Oh, so he fails one object, it's not the end of the world.

If this gets out, it is the end of us, am I right?

-Right.

-Good.

I'll see you tomorrow.

-Hey ya!

Sorry about yesterday.

I got caught up, you know, training.

-Training?

Is that what you call it?

-Call what?

-Oh, I think you know.

-Think I know what?

-Look, I'm--

I'm not going to play these little games

with you, all right?

-OK.

Look, I got a free study period this afternoon if you

wanna catch up.

I guess we still got time for that exam revision.

-Are you for real?

-What do you mean?

-After everything that's happened, you still

want me to help you?

-Uh, I just thought we could make the most of a free study

period.

-Ugh--

forget it!

-Hey!

Coming to the cafe later?

-Uh, no, I got things to do.

-What, like stalking Will?

-Hey, hey, hey.

-What?

Is everything all right?

-All right, say it.

-Say what?

-I told you so.

Yesterday, instead of meeting me, he was meeting someone

else-- a girl.

-No way!

-Maybe I completely misread him.

Maybe he is just like all the other guys.

-Who was the girl?

-I don't know.

I've never seen her before.

But she was really pretty and older.

-Hmm, she sounds horrible.

-Well, maybe he's not the right guy for you,

after all, you know?

If he's got someone else, he shouldn't be leading you on.

-Miss Taylor!

Sorry guys, I'll catch you later.

Miss Taylor, about Lewis--

-Yes?

-Look, he's been working really hard on this project.

All he needs is a bit more time.

-If you're trying to get him an extension, that's very

sweet of you, but it's impossible.

It's late enough as it is.

-But he's so clever.

As I said, he's been working really hard.

It's really unfair if he fails.

-Yeah, I know.

He's one of my best students.

But unless he can prove how he can prove how he does that

experiment, he's going to have to suffer the consequences.

-About that--

-Cleo?

Oh, hi.

You said it was urgent.

Hello Miss Taylor.

What are you doing here?

-Oh, relax, Lewis.

Cleo told me about your shyness.

-My what?

-You know.

How you were too shy to show her your work of art.

So Miss Taylor offered to come here and see it in action.

-Have you lost your mind?

-No!

I've been telling Miss Taylor how brilliant you are.

-And if it can do everything she says it can, you'll pass

with flying colors.

So let's see the action, shall we?

-No!

No, no, no, stop!

Stop!

No, no, Miss Taylor, don't touch--

Amazing.

how did you do it?

-Ah, I'm not really sure.

-Don't be so modest, Lewis.

-You've done something to the molecular structure of the

water, haven't you?

-Ah, well--

-Some realignment of the particles, creating an extra

strong surface tension and elasticity?

-Yeah!

Yep, something like that.

-Well, it's amazing.

-Hm.

-And you say this is just ordinary H2O, huh?

-Oh, no, Miss Taylor, don't.

-I'm gonna do some tests of my own.

-Miss Taylor, thank you so much for coming around.

I know that you're very busy.

Uh, I'll see you tomorrow.

-Yes.

and don't forget your experiment report.

I want a detailed explanation before I decide on a final

mark.

-Yeah, OK, yeah, I'll be glad to bring it in.

-Oh, and Lewis, try and get over the modesty thing.

You could have a bright future ahead of you.

-Yeah.

Hey!

Aren't you going to thank me?

-Can I have a word?

-Oh, well, what word would you like?

Cheater?

User?

How about my favorite?

Bye!

-Look, I don't know what you're talking about.

I just want to know where Bella is.

-Just leave her alone.

-I'm heading out to Mako for a bit, but we're supposed to

hook up after that.

-You are-- you are unbelievable.

-Hey!

-Hey, Will!

-Have you got everything?

-Everything's ready for you.

Feel like a swim?

-Can you keep up?

-There's always a first time!

[boat motor]

-Cleo, you seen Bella?

Yeah, that's where I'd go, too.

-I cannot believe you did that.

-And the moon pool water is in here.

-Ha ha.

So the cylinder was just full of plain old boring, every day

water, and it was moving because you were doing--

-Yeah!

-Aw, Cleo, you had me totally freaking out.

-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

Hey, look on the bright side-- you're going to pass.

-Am I?

Cleo, what am I going to do?

Miss Taylor's after a full scientific report-- all the

theory on why this thing works.

I've got nothing but water.

-Well, she seemed to have a theory.

-But I didn't understand one word she said.

I am in so much trouble.

-I'm sorry Lewis, I did bad, didn't I?

-What?

No, you risked yourself to get me a pass.

I'm lucky to have someone that cares that much.

-What are you gonna do?

-There's only one thing I can do.

I'm going to tell her that this was a scam.

I'm going to make her something else.

-Do you really think she's going to buy that?

-Well, she's the one with a beaker full of plain water.

-Ah, but it's due tomorrow.

-Yeah.

Yeah, it's fine.

I'll do an all nighter.

I'll think of something.

I mean, it's not gonna be brilliant marks, but at least

I'll get a pass.

-OK.

Where do we start?

-I know, I know, I shouldn't have been out there.

-I've been hassling you about being careful, but it's only

because I know what it's like to fall for someone dangerous.

-Thanks, Rikki.

-That's her!

-You know, I'm gonna say something.

-Wait!

-No!

You were right about him.

-Bella!

I was just going to see you--

-I know what you two have been doing, Will, I saw you.

And I'm disappointed.

I can't believe you lied to me to be with someone else.

I thought maybe there could have been something between

us.

-Bella--

-No, don't try and squirm out of it.

I thought you were different.

-You did?

-Yes, but it just turns out that you're like

all the other guys--

selfish, lying, immature, two-timing--

-And he's my brother.

-And--

what?

-Yeah.

-That's right.

I think you've made some kind of mistake.

-Oh.

Right.

I guess--

I guess I have.

-Hey!

-You are amazing.

-I know!

-Oh, no.

[frog ribbit]

-I really do need to pass these exams.

-OK.

CLOSING THEME SONG: We've got to stick together, 'cause the

best things come in three.

I want it to last forever, all the magic and fun at sea.

So come on, this is our adventure, there's no telling

where we'll go.

But all I want is just to live among the H2O!

'Cause I'm no ordinary girl, I'm from the deep blue

underworld.

Land or sea, I've got the power if I just believe.

'Cause I'm no ordinary girl, I'm from the deep blue

underworld.

Land or sea, the world's my oyster, I'm the pearl.

No ordinary girl.

Come along, it just gets better, so much to do and just

so little time. 'Cause it all depends on whether you wanna

leave the land above behind.

'Cause I'm no ordinary girl, I'm from the deep blue

underworld.

Land or sea, the world's my oyster, I'm the pearl.

No ordinary girl.
