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.

[music playing]

-I still don't think we should be here.

Full moon comes up in a couple of hours.

-Yeah, we should lock ourselves away so that water

can't attack us tonight.

-I'm sick of being scared of water.

It used to be our thing, our air.

What we need is to find a way to destroy that tentacle.

-But we have no idea how.

-I wish Lewis was here.

At least he'd have a different perspective on all of this.

-Well, there is someone else who understands our situation.

-Will?

-If you want to ask for someone's help,

it should be Zane's.

He's known us the longest.

-We don't want someone who's going to risk other people's

lives because of their ego.

-Come on, guys.

There's enough room for both Zane and Will.

[knocking]

-Hi.

-Whoa.

Ah, whoa.

-Sorry.

I think I must owe you a juice.

-If you're busy I'll--

-It's the least I can do.

Sometimes I forget about, you know, you being a mermaid.

-Thank you.

I want to talk to you about tonight.

-Right.

Oh, it's a full moon, isn't it?

-Yeah, about that.

I kind of had a favor to ask you.

We're planning on staying at the cafe tonight for safety.

And Rikki wanted Zane to get on board.

And I kind of said that I could get you on board.

-With Zane?

-To help, if you want to, that is.

-And the others are OK with this?

Sure.

It would be an honor.

I know how dangerous it can be out there.

So I'd love to help, any way I can.

-So, you need my help.

Well, I never thought I'd see the day.

-Don't push it.

-Seriously, it's about time you let me help you out.

-You never offer.

-Not true.

-Or you're too busy hanging out with the guys.

You don't already have plans for tonight, do you?

-It's nothing I can't work around.

-You can't really work around a full moon.

-OK, all right.

-If it means that much to you, I'll cancel my plans for

tonight, and help you set up the cafe.

-Promise?

-Promise.

-Hey, dude.

What time does that card game start tonight?

-Uh, it's been cancelled.

-Private party.

-Aw, I was looking forward to that.

-I know.

Well, we'll do it another time.

-OK, cool.

We'll, I've got no other gigs lined up for tonight.

-Uh, it's a private party, as in you're not invited.

And we've already organized our own entertainment.

-Ah, girls' night, huh?

-Yeah, something like that.

-Awesome.

How did you find out?

-Are you sure it's tonight?

-Try oxygen.

-That's not an

O. That's a C. -Really?

Try carbon.

Dad?

-Mhmm?

-About tonight, it's just going to be us three girls.

We'll be perfectly responsible.

-Why the cafe?

-Why not?

-Yeah, especially when Tina heard from Zoe that Alice told

Ruby there's going to be a massive party there tonight.

-Just because Cleo has organized a sleepover doesn't

mean you have to try and ruin it.

-But I wasn't--

-When you're Cleo's age you can do the same.

You're welcome to watch a DVD with us if

you've done your homework.

-Uh, we're closed.

-I know.

The girls invited me.

-Oh, well you must have misunderstood.

-I don't think so.

They want me on hand to help out, in case--

-And they asked you to help?

-Yeah.

Hey.

-Hey, glad you could make it.

-Listen, I know you're planning on

staying here tonight.

But I think my boat shed might be a better place.

-Is that right?

-Think about it.

It's smaller, easier to seal up.

You could give me a hand getting it ready.

-Are you kidding?

-Come on.

It's for the girls.

-I don't need you telling me what's good for the girls.

-OK, that's enough.

I'm the only one who gets to say what's good for the girls.

We're going to stay here tonight.

And we're all going to get along, OK?

I'm going home to get my stuff.

Can I leave you two alone without blood being spilled?

-Of course.

There's no problem here.

-There's no problem at all.

-OK, Dad, Sam, I'm off.

-Got a toothbrush?

Have a good time.

Call if you need anything.

-Don.

-Just have a good time.

-I will, thanks.

Bye.

-I trust you.

CLEO (OFFSCREEN): Bye, Dad.

-I don't feel very well.

-What's wrong?

-I'm just really [yawning]

tired, like I need a long uninterrupted sleep.

-Perhaps an early night's in order.

-Yeah, maybe you're right.

Good night.

-Good night.

-Good night, darling.

I'll check on you later, pumpkin.

-Where are all the girls?

-Sorry, we have a private party on tonight.

-Yeah, I know.

That's why we're here.

-Sorry you're going to have to go.

-What, are you going to make me?

-If I have to.

-Not your place, though, is it?

-Rikki said that--

-Forget that.

They're my friends.

They're welcome any time.

-What about our plans--

-What about them?

-Rikki is not going to like this.

-Well, she's my girlfriend.

So just let me deal with it.

-What are you doing?

-Isn't it obvious?

-We're going to play some cards.

-Yeah.

-But you said--

-Yeah, I know what I said.

-We've been through this.

And I need the cafe tonight.

-So you take the office.

We'll take the cafe.

Everyone will stay out of everyone's way.

And it'll all be fine.

-We won't interrupt your pajama party, right guys?

[chuckling]

-Can I have a word with you in private?

-Yes.

-How could you do this to me?

-Why does everything always have to be about you?

-Every now and then, on a full moon, I just need you to be a

little bit more understanding.

Is that so much to ask?

-Why is it that every time I think you've got this mermaid

thing under control there's always some big drama?

-I didn't ask water to attack us.

-It's not just that.

-Then what?

Is it Will?

I can't believe this.

You're jealous.

-No, I'm not jealous.

OK, I just, I don't get why you need him more

than you need me.

-Because he's actually willing to put us first.

-So

am I. [knocking]

-Is everything OK?

-He's not welcome here.

I want him to leave.

-Fine, then I'm leaving, too.

-You wonder why I never ask you for help.

-Rikki, do you think--

-No.

I'll deal with this without either of you.

-Rikki, wait.

You can't go out there.

-Watch me.

-Zane doesn't understand.

-You think?

-He hasn't seen that thing.

He doesn't know how dangerous it is.

-He doesn't care.

-Well, I do.

I know how angry you are about this.

But now is not the right time to confront that thing.

Let's just get through tonight.

OK?

-OK.

-Let's leave Zane to it, go back to the boat shed and,

lock ourselves in, and rethink things tomorrow.

At least if we're all in the same place I can protect you.

-What?

-No, I just mean that--

-Let's get something straight.

I don't need anybody to protect me.

You got that?

[ominous music]

-Oh!

-No way.

-He's just giving it away.

I can read you like a book.

-I bet this thing.

-What's that?

[laughter]

-Hey, you made it.

Come join the party.

-What's going on?

Where is Rikki?

-Beats me.

She just took off.

-Where?

-I don't know.

I figured she'd go find you, tell you what a bad guy I am.

-Well, she didn't.

So where is she?

[phone ringing]

-Will, hi.

-Rikki's gone.

She had a big fit with her idiot boyfriend.

And she took off.

Heading straight for Mako Island.

-She can't.

It's really dark.

And it's a full moon, and--

-She wants to destroy the water tentacle.

I tried to stop her.

-We have to get her back here.

-Hey!

-What are you doing here?

-Out of my way.

I'm here to party.

-No, you're not.

Get home, or I'm calling dad.

-How do I put this?

No.

Why should you have all the fun?

-Will?

-What do you want?

-I was just looking for Will.

-He's not here.

-We were going out tonight.

-Really?

It looks like he stood you up.

-No, I'd say he's probably already waiting at the cafe.

-I doubt it.

I know my brother.

He's got cold feet.

And I don't blame him.

-You must be really threatened by me.

-Don't flatter yourself.

-It's a shame we can't get along for Will's sake.

-I won't lose any sleep over it.

-You know, I would invite you along to the cafe tonight, but

you're not really welcome there anymore, are you?

-And you're not welcome here.

So get out.

-Fine.

[bubbling and gurgling]

[bubbling and gurgling]

-Zane, I need to go and find Rikki.

But I can't leave Kim here.

-Well, I'm not a babysitter.

-You're not much of anything these days, are you, Zane?

Look, you're the reason that Rikki's out there all alone

with that thing.

And you don't even care.

You're just sitting here, playing stupid games.

Rikki needs to know that she can rely on you.

We all do.

-You can rely on me.

-Then prove it.

Shut this down.

Take Kim home.

And let me go and find Rikki, please.

-Excuse me.

Hey, hey.

This is over.

I'm shutting the cafe down.

-Ugh, but you can't do that.

-I can do what I want.

It's my place.

-Dude, can I just play one more song?

I don't want to let my fans down.

-They'll get over it.

Come on, everyone get your stuff.

You're out.

-Thanks, Zane.

-We came here to party.

-Is that right?

-Um, Mr. Sartori, I was just about to bring her home.

-The question is, what is she doing here in the first place?

-Cleo made me come.

She said all the cool girls would be here.

And I'd be mad if I didn't show up.

-Not so fast, young lady.

-But--

-I don't want to hear any buts, just a very good

explanation for all of this.

-What's going on?

-It's Rikki.

-Dad, I really need to go.

-You're not going anywhere until I get some answers.

How could you let your little sister sneak out of the house

to a party?

-I didn't let her sneak out of the house.

And this isn't a party.

-Really?

Boys, junk food, music, looks like a party.

-Sure does.

-It is a sleepover.

-What's he doing here?

-Me?

-We were just practicing some karaoke.

DON (OFFSCREEN): Were you now?

-Don't believe her, Dad.

-She wasn't even invited.

-Neither was I, apparently.

-What?

-I love karaoke.

-She said you'd be too embarrassing.

That's why she didn't invite you.

-No, I didn't say that.

-Too embarrassing, you say?

You, you know any real rock and roll?

-Yes.

-Let's go.

-I'm going to kill you.

[music playing]

-Um, I don't think I'm going to get out of

here any time soon.

[don singing]

-This is it.

It's just you and me.

What do you want from us?

What are you doing here?

-I really care.

-I told you I don't need anyone to protect me.

No!

No!

Stop.

Leave him alone.

Do you want a mermaid?

Come get me.

-Rikki?

Are you OK?

-What happened?

-This tentacle came up and--

-No, it's OK.

Will saved me.

He got here just in time, didn't you, Will?

-Thanks, Will.

I knew we could count on you.

-Finally, they're gone.

-But Dad sure loves Elvis.

-Don't remind me.

Rikki!

-Are you OK?

What happened?

-The water tried to attack her.

Will got there just in time.

-Yeah, I bet he did.

-At least I was there.

-Cool it, guys.

-Hey, it'll never happen again.

I promise.

I'll be here for you from now on.

-OK.

-No, you're not just going to forgive him like that are you?

-I think I'm just going to get my stuff and, and go home.

-Well, I'll take you.

Just let me close up here first.

-Do you think she's all right?

-Maybe she's in shock.

-Rikki, what happened out there?

You spoke to it, and the water stopped.

It was like it was under your control.

And why are you lying to Cleo and Bella?

Why did you tell them I saved you?

-What's the big deal?

-It's not true.

You saved me.

-You came out to Mako to look after me, and now they think

you did.

-I came after you because I care about you.

-I can't do this right now.

-I think you should tell Cleo and Bella.

-Tell them what, exactly?

-It responded to you, that it, it listened to you.

-I don't even know that for sure.

-Then I'll tell them what I saw.

-No.

-Why?

-I don't want them to know.

Promise me you won't to tell them.

Please.

You owe me that much.

-OK.

You can trust me.

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 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 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.
