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!

-[SINGING] I've been thinking
over all the things that

you've been saying to me.

No reason or answers.

Do I deceive myself when
I make him out to be?

I thought I'm the girl
with everything.

If only you could stay,
only you could stay

around a while for me.

Thought I had it all
and anything.

I wanted you to really matter.

[cheering]

-Will.

Will!

-Huh?

-You're staring.

-What-- no, I was
just thinking.

-Oh, we are on fire.

I can't wait for Friday's gig.

-Great set, Bella.

Making magic out there.

-Thanks.

-Can I buy you a coffee?

So rain check for later, yeah?

-Will, wait up.

How are you?

-OK.

-So what did you think?

-About what, exactly?

-About the song.

What else?

-Interesting.

Really from the heart.

-I, um--

I was swimming, and I found
something, and--

and I thought--

I thought maybe you'd like it.

-Whoa.

-I know.

I've never seen anything
like it.

-Where did you get this?

-Can you keep a secret?

I got it from the
octopus' garden.

It's a joke.

-Oh.

Right.

It's-- it's amazing.

It's really amazing.

-Oh, no, I--

no, I want you to have it.

-Are you sure?

-Yeah, yeah.

Add it to your collection.

-Thanks.

Hey, why don't you come
by my place late?

-Why?

-We can talk.

-What about?

-This.

Your singing.

That OK?

-Yeah, that should be fine.

-Great.

Say, 5:00 PM?

-It's a date.

-This is amazing.

-This is an ancient fossil.

A signpost to the past.

It was alive millions
of years ago.

Imagine what the world
was like then.

-So it's worth something,
then?

-Plenty, to a collector.

But that's not the point.

-Where'd you find it?

There must be more.

-It's a present.

-Who from?

Who could afford to--

[knocking]

-Hello.

-Oh.

Come in.

So, I'll see you later?

-You've got training soon.

Don't forget.

Nice shell.

Where'd you find it?

-Oh, around.

-Hey, check this out.

I looked it up on the net,
and that shell is rare.

Really rare.

It says here it's only
found in the deepest

parts of the ocean.

Where exactly did you find it?

-I told you.

The octopus' garden.

-No, really.

Where?

-It-- it was washed
up on the beach.

-You told me you found it
when you were swimming.

-Yeah, no, it was--

it was on the shore as I was
getting out of the water.

-Where?

Mako Island?

-So!

Who cares?

-I knew it!

Anything strange is somehow
connected to that place.

-I don't know what
you mean, but--

-I think you do.

I think you know a lot more
about that place than you say.

You always seem to be
going out there.

-Not always.

-You're hiding something.

-I thought we were gonna
talk about music.

That's what you said.

-I am, in a way.

-Sorry?

-Sometimes when we talk I get
the feeling that there's

something you're holding back.

But when you sing,
it's different.

It's like it's the real you.

Someone honest.

-Is this why you wanted
me to come here?

-Yeah.

-Great.

-I just want to know
the real you.

-Then stop questioning
every little thing.

-Then how am I supposed--

-No, but nothing.

Why can't you just let this
go and enjoy life?

Have you ever tried that?

-He's always had a
thing about Mako.

-I think it's different
this time.

He's completely fired-up.

I never meant to
encourage him.

I tried to put him off.

I really did.

-Well how many times do
we have to tell you?

You need to forget about him,
before it's too late.

-Give it a break, Rikki.

-I'm trying to help her.

She's in over her head.

-Yeah, well, that's
what love is like.

And he is obviously
obsessed with her.

-Exactly.

Does anyone else hear
alarm bells?

-Rikki--

-No.

No, she's right.

It's gone too far, really.

It's just too dangerous.

-How did your training
session go?

-It didn't

-You didn't train?

-Nope.

-You'll have to make
up for it tomorrow.

We've got to get you ready
for the dive comp.

-I'll see how we go.

-How come you're suddenly
so distracted?

-I'm no.

I'm just interested in
other things, too.

-Like Bella.

Don't tell you're gonna let some
stupid girl get in the

way of your training.

-Don't talk about
her like that.

She's different from
other girls.

I don't know what
it is, exactly--

-I'm just saying you
need to keep your

mind set on our goals.

You could make it big one day
if you just stay focused.

That's what's important.

-Well, maybe there's
more to life.

Bella.

Bella!

I was just heading
to the beach.

You wanna come?

-I think I might pass.

-I won't even mention
Mako Island.

I promise.

Scout's honor.

Not that I was ever a scout,
but if I was, I'd do that

funny salute thing, to
show that I mean it.

Come on.

It'll be fun.

I can do fun.

Truly.

-You sure I can't tempt
you into a swim?

-Maybe another time.

-What's wrong?

-I have to go.

-Wait.

What happened?

-Please try not to be
so hard on Bella.

I mean, she is smart enough
to keep our secret.

-Yeah, I guess.

Is everything OK?

-Bella gave my brother
a shell.

An extremely rare, extremely
expensive one.

-There's always weird shells
drifting onto the shore.

I'm sure it's nothing special.

-Oh, this is special,
all right.

Will's never seen anything
like it.

And he knows his stuff,
believe me.

-Oh, do you want us to
have a look at it?

Maybe it's the kind of thing
we've seen before.

-Thanks, but I don't
have it with me.

Will's already given it pride
of place on his desk.

I'm gonna get someone to
take a look at it.

-Oh, I would go to
all that trouble.

That's silly.

-Will thinks it's worth a
fortune, so it'd be good to

know exactly how much.

-I'll stall her.

-What are you doing?

-Stopping this from getting any
worse than it already is.

Hello?

-You're going home, are you?

-Uh-huh.

-You don't want to stay and have
a coffee with me, do you?

I've got a loose end, and I
thought, you and I, we've

never really had
a decent chat.

-About what?

-Um--

you've got-- you've got
really nice hair.

And I was wondering where
you got it done.

-Maybe another time.

-Um--

oh.

I forgot to tell you that Rikki
said to tell you that if

you wanted some extra cash
you're welcome to

do an hour's overtime.

-I would, but things
today, you know?

-I am so sorry.

-Why did you say sorry?

-Habit.

I'm always apologizing
for things.

Sorry.

There I go again.

Hey, why don't you take a seat,
and I'll help you dry

off?

-I have to go.

Besides, it's only water.

And I'll change when
I get home.

See ya.

-Bella, water, Mako,
full moon?

Soon he'll be able to write
a thesis on mermaids.

-Will?

Will, are you there?

Will?

What?

-He's linked you
to your power.

You know, the jelly thing?

There's a sketch of you.

There's notes on Mako Island.

The full moon.

The whole thing!

He's onto you.

We can't afford to mess
around with this.

We stay away from him.

When I say we, I mean you.

-You and Cleo have boyfriends,
and both of them know about

you being mermaids.

Why can't I?

-Because he's practically
a stranger.

-No, he's not.

Not to me.

I--

I get him.

We have a connection.

He's not like any other
guy I've ever met.

-Because he's probably the
only guy ever that hasn't

thrown himself at you.

That is all.

Don't mistake your feelings
for anything else.

-No.

It's more than that.

-Cleo and I have been covering
for your mistakes all day.

-Excuse me?

I've been careful.

-I destroyed the shell.

-That was a present.

-Sophie was onto where
it came from.

Not even scuba divers
can get deep enough

to find those shells.

How are you gonna
explain that?

-Bella.

-Look, this is beyond a joke.

I'm not covering for
you anymore.

It's either him, or it's us.

-Where did you disappear
to before?

One minute you were there,
and-- and the next--

-We need to talk.

-OK.

Talk.

-It was really great hanging
out with you today, but--

-Where did you have to go that
you could swim to faster than

you could walk?

-Listen, I can't see
you anymore.

-Why?

-I don't want to
talk about it.

-I can't make you talk to me.

But I wish you would.

There are so many things about
you that just don't add up.

-I think you're reading
way too much into it.

-The only time I've ever seen
you go into the water, you

disappeared.

I know you're hiding
something from me.

But whatever it is, I'm not
going to judge you.

You can't run and
hide forever.

I know this big secret of yours
has something to do with

water.

-No.

-You're lying to me.

-No.

I trusted you.

-Well, it was really close.

-I did try to stall her.

-It's OK.

I fixed it.

-Yeah, but even with the
shell gone, Will is

still a major problem.

-I had a bit of a chat to Bella
about that, and I don't

think she'll be seeing
him again.

-We can't stop her from--

-It had to happen, Cleo.

And she finally gets it.

The important thing is he'll
never know about us.

-I was nine years old.

And we were living in
Ireland at the time.

My parents were busy,
so I went exploring.

And there was this place.

I walked down by the ocean, at
the bottom of the cliffs.

I felt--

I felt drawn there, like--

like I was looking for
something, only

I didn't know what.

There was a cave.

I felt so peaceful
there, like--

like I belonged.

And then something
magical happened.

I'm so sorry.

I wish I could have
told you, but--

-What about the others?

Cleo and Rikki?

Are they--

-No.

No.

-Are you sure?

-Yeah, it's just me.

I'm the only one.

-But they--

they know about you?

-No.

You're the only one
that knows.

We can--

keep this between us, right?

-I don't know.

I need some time to think
things through.

-I know you warned
me, and I tried.

I really did.

-This is a disaster.

He's going to tell everyone.

We'll end up on display
at the marine.

-No, you won't.

He only thinks that
I'm a mermaid.

-I think he'll figure it out.

-No, he asked me.

I lied.

I said I'm the only one.

-Thanks.

For protecting us.

-Please forgive me.

-I guess what's done is done.

-I'll fix it.

You--

I'll deal with it, and you guys

won't have to do anything.

-No.

We're in this together.

We'll fix this together.

[playing drums]

-Nothing.

I must have called him


Is it so hard to pick
up your phone?

-You've tried.

That's all you can do.

-I don't think I can
sing like this.

-You know how I forgave you
for blowing our secret,

despite me warning you?

-Yes.

-If you skip on a pay
gig, I will be

nowhere near as forgiving.

-Rikki's right, Bella.

I mean, we need to act as
normal as possible.

-But what if he--

-No.

Don't even think about it.

Now go sing.

-[SINGING] And I've been
thinking over--

that you've been saying to me.

No reason or answers.

Do I deceive myself when--

-Great.

He's probably dropping the
bombshell as we speak.

-[SINGING] I thought I'm the
girl with everything.

If only you could stay,
only you could stay

around a while for me.

Thought I had it all,
and anything.

I wanted you to really matter.

-Bella?

What's going on?

-Will, wait.

Listen, this is really--

-What--

I didn't--

I didn't tell her.

We're just talking about this.

Looks like your special shell
spontaneously combusted.

-Does this mean that you've
decided to keep my secret?

Thank you.

Thanks.

I can get you another shell.

-Thanks for the offer, but I
liked the fact that it was a

one-of-a-kind.

I'll catch you later.

-At least our secret's safe.

-For now.

-No, he won't change his mind.

-Never say never.

-No, no, he really won't.

He's a good guy.

He's a really good guy.

Thank Rikki.

That sketch that you saw of
me, what was it like?

-Oh, here we go.

-Was it cute?

-You are unbelievable.

-Would you tell me?

-You'd wanna know too!

No, come on!

-This is amazing.

-Would you tell me?

[laughter]

THEME SONG: We gotta 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!
