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.

[school bell]

-Lewis!

-Yeah?

-I've got something important for you.

It's an email from the states.

Congratulations.

You deserve it.

-Thanks!

[doorbell]

-Hey, um, is-- is Cleo here?

-Who cares?

-Hey, Cleo!

-Hi.

-Can I please talk to you about something?

-Sure.

Hey, are you all right?

You look a bit worried.

-Fantastic!

You're all here.

Guys, we've got some great news.

Go on, Sam, tell them.

-No, you do it.

-No, you.

-OK.

We're getting married.

-We already know that.

-Hmm.

-No, no, you don't understand.

We're getting married the day after tomorrow.

-Wow!

-That's terrific.

-What?

Too sudden?

-I'll go and talk to her.

Sure it'll be fine.

-So how did it go with Kim last night?

-Ah, she'll come around.

[door closing]

-Morning everyone!

Cleo, put some more toast on for Sam.

-Sure!

Hey, um, you haven't thought about having the wedding a bit

later, after, you know, get all the preparations done.

-Oh, we don't need anything fancy.

I'd be happy if I were barefoot on a beach.

It's about who we're marrying, not where.

Right, Don?

-So why wait?

It'd be nice to have a few more friends and family around

to celebrate, still, registry office is fine.

-No, you deserve a proper wedding.

-It's not enough time.

-Leave it to me.

I'll arrange everything.

-No, you don't need to do that.

-No, I insist.

-Hear that?

Cleo's just offered to help with the wedding plans.

-Ooh.

CLEO [OFFSCREEN]: I could use a hand.

-I'm busy.

-Well, what if you were both bridesmaids?

-That's a great idea.

And you'd look great in a new dress.

-Wow, that's some muffer you've made.

-I thought if I got Kim involved, she'd warm to the

idea.

-You think?

-OK, there's a lot to do, but if you guys would help me?

-Yeah, you name it.

We'll help.

-I've looked everywhere for a hall, but

everything's booked solid.

-Well, it is the season for last minute weddings.

-Well, I was wondering if I could use the cafe?

-Well they're not gonna want to do it there.

-Well, I thought they could do it outdoors, and then we could

have the reception inside?

-I'll ask Zane, but he always does what I say anyway.

-Thank you.

-Rikki!

Rikki!

Hey!

Um, have you seen Cleo?

-Uh, no, she's around the place organizing things.

-Yeah, well, I've got things to organize, myself.

-More important than a wedding?

-I got an email from the American

Marine Biology Institute.

-Wow.

-Hmm.

-Who are they?

-They are on of the top research centers in the world.

-And they want to experiment on you?

Oh, I knew it would come to this.

-What?

No!

Rikki, it's a scholarship to study there.

OK?

My teacher advised that I should apply and they looked

over my application and I got in.

-So shouldn't you be jumping for joy?

-They want me to start now.

-Now?

-Uh-huh.

-Like as in--

-As in right now, as in I would fly out on Monday.

-Have you told Cleo?

-Nope.

How do you think I should tell her?

-Don't.

-Well, I have to.

-No, she is going out of her head making marriage

arrangements.

If you tell her now, she will fall apart.

-But I have--

-No!

Lewis, don't ruin this for her.

-Stop squirming, stay still.

-I can do my own hair, you know?

-You move too much, Cleo, now stay still.

-Hello!

How's everything in here?

Ah, doesn't she look fantastic?

Lewis, doesn't she look gorgeous?

-What are you doing here?

-I invited him over.

Um, Lewis, I've been thinking it over, and none of the guys

down at the wharf seem like the right

choice to be best man.

How do you feel about it?

-Uh, you want me to be your best man?

-You're practically part of the family.

-Yeah?

Yes.

You look amazing.

-She sure does.

Lewis has agreed to be my best man.

-Really?

-Uh-huh.

-That's fantastic.

-Yeah.

-I mean, that's a really big honor coming from dad.

Hey, are you all right?

-Um, I don't think we have time for this, Cleo.

We've just run out of hair gel.

Do you have anymore?

-Um, there could be some in the bathroom.

-I do not use hair gel.

-You do now.

-What do you think you're doing?

-I can't lie to her.

You're not lying.

You're selecting the truth.

-Yeah, the trick of it is, just don't bring the subject

up.

-Wha- did you tell Bella about this?

We can't lie to the sisterhood, man.

-Isn't that exactly what I'm doing to Cleo?

-No.

You don't get it, do you?

You are leaving her tomorrow.

If you tell her now, this whole thing collapses.

-I couldn't find hair gel, but I got hair spray.

-Lewis is leaving you.

-That's not even funny.

-Ask him.

-Kim, if this is your idea of trying to spoil the wedding--

-Cleo.

-It's-- it's not true, is it?

-Yeah.

-And you applied for this course how long ago?

-Ah, six months, ago, maybe.

I didn't know that I would be lucky enough to get in.

I mean, they only take six from 600 applicants.

And I never, ever thought that they would bring it forward to

this semester.

-But they did.

And now you're just going, just like that.

-No, that's what I wanted to talk to you about, OK?

I still have to confirm it, but the thing is, the plane

leaves first thing tomorrow morning.

-[MOURNFULLY] Ah.

I can't believe you'd do this, Lewis.

I thought you had a lot more respect for me than that.

-Cleo, I--

I wanted to tell you about it.

I did.

Rikki just thought--

-Rikki knew about this?

And Bella.

-You know what Rikki's like, sh-- she just

can't keep it to herself.

-But everyone could keep it from me.

It's fine.

I understand.

-Hey.

-I can't believe this is I thought

we'd be together forever.

-It's not always that easy to achieve.

-Yeah, but you've got to hope for it, don't you?

I mean, you and my dad want to be together forever.

-Yeah, we do.

-It just really hurts.

I really don't want him to go.

-Oh, of course you don't.

Sometimes you need to stand on your own for awhile.

Just to fulfill your potential.

It doesn't have to be forever.

You guys might come back together

better than ever before.

It might be good if we give you some time.

I'm going to have a chat to your dad, and I'm sure he'll

understand if we postpone the wedding.

-No!

No, no, no, you can't do that.

-No, this is meant to be a happy day for everyone.

-No, don't.

Don't worry about me.

I really don't want to make a fuss.

-That's not fair on you.

-No.

The wedding will go on.

I have got a lot to do.

-Your timing is terrible.

-I know.

OK, Mr.S, I know and I'm sorry.

I just--

I didn't expect this to happen so soon, you know?

-I know, but it has, and you can't hold

back on these things.

-Well, you think I should go for it?

-Absolutely.

-Absolutely?

Yeah!

Yes!

You're right!

I mean, Cleo and I have been best friends since

what, we were five?

We can survive this.

Yeah.

-Lewis, I couldn't have hoped for a better first

boyfriend for Cleo.

-First?

-You're both growing up.

Life constantly changes, no matter what.

-What are you trying to say?

What, that it's all over?

I'm only going for a three-year course.

-Might as well be 30 at your age.

-Mr. S.

-You're not going to be able to have both.

It's gonna be one or the other.

Anyway, best man, have to give you these.

Look after them.

-Do you think you could help me with the music?

-Sure, but so you think Cleo wants me to be here?

-Are you kidding?

You're part of the team now.

-Do I have to dress up?

-Mmm, not really.

But if you want, you could match my dress.

-Hey guys, um, Bella, how are you going with the music?

-Yeah, all set.

-And the-- the signing table?

-Yep, it's all here.

-Cleo!

We should talk!

-Not now.

-Let's go everybody, we've got a wedding to put on.

-Come on, Lewis, don't forget to smile.

This is the happiest day of my life!

-Uh-huh.

[music playing - "canon in d]

FEMALE SPEAKER [OFFSCREEN]: We are gathered here today to

join Don and Sam in marriage.

Don and Sam, you've each pledged to the other your

lifelong commitment, love, and devotion.

From now on, your thoughts shall be for each other,

rather than for your individual selves.

Don and Sam will now exchange rings as a

symbol of their union.

-They're gone?

-What?

-They were right here, Don, I swear they were-- they were--

-What are they doing out of the box, Lewis?

-What, you think I took them?

-If you're trying to ruin this day, Lewis, you're going about

it the right way.

-Cleo, I'm telling the truth.

-Oh, and you're so good at that.

-As a matter of fact, I am!

Cleo, that's kind of what got me into this position in the

first place!

-No!

You got yourself into this position.

I just wish that you would so what you want and go.

-I'm not going!

Cleo, I'm not.

I--

I called the Institute and I told them that I can't just

change my life like that.

I can't leave you.

I love you.

-Just can't help himself, can he?

FEMALE SPEAKER [OFFSCREEN]: Now that we've got that

settled, can we get on with the

ceremony without the rings?

FEMALE SPEAKER [OFFSCREEN]: OK, now let's try that again.

Do you, Donald Sertori, take Samantha

Roberts to be your wife--

[screaming]

-Cleo!

Go, go, go!

-What happened then?

-Kim.

-Dad, I am so sorry.

-Ah, don't be.

You did everything you could.

-Maybe not enough.

Where's Sam?

-Ah, she's gone home to change.

I seem to be jinxed when it comes to women.

First your mother leaves me, and then this with Sam.

-Dad, Sam's not going to leave you.

-Maybe i don't deserve to be with a woman like her.

-Don't talk like that.

-How's he holding up?

-Mm, not good.

He's blaming himself.

-Oh, that's crazy.

It's not his fault.

-I know.

We've got to get this thing back on the rails.

-Today?

Cleo, it's 4 o'clock already.

You can count on me.

-I know it's a long shot, but I've got an idea.

Give me the rings.

-I'll call you back.

What are you talking about?

-I know you ruined the wedding, Kim.

Now give me the rings and go and apologize

to Sam and Dad now.

-And who's going to make me?

-I'm sorry.

-What for?

-I ruined the wedding.

-No, you didn't.

-Yes, I did.

The rings, the sprinklers, it was all my fault.

-Why?

-Getting a new mom is, well, it's freaky.

And I guess I didn't know how to handle it.

-Do I really scare you that much?

-I know I've been really stupid, but I really want to

fix things.

All you have to do is come with me.

[boat motor]

-[SINGING] All of my life, and the dreams

that we've been thinking.

And the truth in your eyes shows you

love that never dies.

And on this day, lover my best friend, all I can give you, my

heart is true.

All we are feeling, all that feeling, needed, hold me

forever, soon we'll be one.

Carry us home.

-It's perfect.

-Well, it's been a long day, and it was touch and go there

for a little while, but we're all very happy to be here to

witness Don and Sam pledge their lifelong commitment,

love, and devotion.

Do you, Don Sertori, take Samantha

Roberts to be your wife?

-I do.

-I now pronounce you man and wife.

[cheering]

-I got to say it--

you did great today.

-Thank you.

-You did!

-So you're really not going because of me?

-Yeah, I meant what I said.

-But that's not fair.

I want you to have your dream.

-Uh, what do you mean?

-I can't stand in your way, it Lewis, even if that means

losing you.

-Cleo--

-You have to go.

-Here's the new family!

-You're going to do important stuff there that

you can't do here.

-Yeah, I know.

It just-- it just seems so quick.

It just seems so final.

-Well, it doesn't have to be forever.

I could come visit.

-To America?

-Hey, I'm a mermaid.

I can swim.

It's no big deal.

-The Pacific Ocean is quite a big deal.

-Uh, I'll make a stopover in Hawaii.

This doesn't have to be the end.

-Oh, Cleo!

Long distance relationships never work.

Sooner or later, they always end.

And-- and I don't want everything that we've ever had

to just drift away.

-We'll see each other again.

-Yeah, we will.

We will.

But things will have changed.

We'll be living different lives, and no matter what we

say now, things--

things will be different.

-Lewis, you've always been there for me.

Whenever I was in trouble, I could always depend on you.

You have to go fulfill your potential, and

I've got to let you.

This isn't the end, OK?

-Did I ever tell you how amazing you are?

-You've told me once or twice.

-I'm gonna miss you so much.

-I love you.

-Good luck.

-Thanks.

-You OK?

-He's gone.

[boat motor]

-But at least we'll be looking at the same ocean.

[sniffling]

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 amongst 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 ocean.

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 want to 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.
