H2O: Just Add Water, Season Three

Rikki:
No. It's not that.

Cleo:
Emma? You should be happy for her. Not everyone gets to travel the world with their parents.

Rikki:
I know. But why did she have to leave? It's her last year of school.

Rikki:
Water wouldn't attack us! We're mermaids. We're supposed to control it.

Cleo:
I know Rikki, but it's what I saw! And it's a full moon.

Rikki:
I thought we had that sorted.

Bella:
You alright, Rikki?

Rikki:
Shouldn't you be singing?

Cleo:
Lewis thinks we do.

Bella:
There's something I need to ask you.

Cleo:
Well, whatever it is it can wait.

Bella:
There's something going on here, isn't there? Something magical.

Rikki:
That's ridiculous. There is no such thing as magic.

Rikki:
Nice tail.

Bella:
Likewise.

Lewis:
You been a mermaid since you were nine?

Bella:
We were living in Ireland at the time. My parents were working, so I took off to the coast. And I found this sea cave, and I went into a pool and... (Demonstrates her different mermaid abilities by turning the water into jelly)

Lewis:
Wow.

Rikki:
So when my bike still had training wheels, you had a tail.

Bella:
When did you guys change?

Rikki:
Oh, we been mermaids for ages.

Lewis:
Do that again.

Bella:
I was nine years old. We were in Ireland, so I took off to the coast. I found this sea cave, it felt so beautiful...like I was at home. And then something magical happened.

Will:
What about the others- Cleo and Rikki? Are they...

Bella:
No.

Will:
You sure.

Bella:
Yeah. I'm the only one. We can keep this between us, right?

Will:
I don't know. Let stay here to think things through.

Cleo:
I can't stand in your way, Lewis, even if that means losing you.

Rikki:
No! Don't! Leave him alone!! You want a mermaid?! Come get me!

Will:
Rikki, are you okay?

Will:
Rikki, what happened out there? You spoke to it and the water stopped. It was like it was under your control. And why did you lie to Cleo and Bella? Why tell them I saved you?

Rikki:
What's the big deal?

Will:
It's a very big deal. I think you should tell the girls.

Rikki:
No.

Will:
Why?

Rikki:
Don't, please. I need to figure this out on my own. Promise me you won't tell them.

Rikki:
Look, if you want to go out with this guy, go out with him. But don't use Mako as an excuse. And don't put the rest of us at risk in order to do so.

Cleo:
Rikki, how could you say something like that?

Rikki:
Believe it or not, I'm just trying to protect Mako.

Cleo:
Protect it from me? Look, I don't know what's gotten into you. I don't know who you are anymore.

Will:
Okay, guys. Ever since the full moon, Rikki and I haven't been totally honest with you.

Bella:
Why? What happened between you two at Mako?

Will:
I didn't save her from the water tentacle. Rikki saved me.

Cleo:
What? How?

Will:
She has some connection with it, the energized water. It's like she can control it. Like it was listening to her, obeying her.
