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.
- Guys, i have a question.
Does my tail look big on this angle?
- Well, that depends on whether you're trying to fit into
Jeans or not.
- Bella, what's wrong?
- Sorry.
I was just thinking about will.
I don't get him.
One minute he's hot, and the next minute he's cold.
I'm begin—
Oh, i'm—i'm sorry.
I didn't mean to—
- Didn't mean to what?
- Well, i'm going on about will, and you and zane—
- Me and zane nothing.
We've gone our separate ways, and it's fine.
- Uh, no one describes a breakup as fine.
- Why wouldn't it be?
I've got no cafe to worry about.
I've got no staff to worry about.
I am a whole new mermaid.
- Yeah, i can see you.
It's coming.
It's, uh, banana, right?
Oh no, no, no.
You stupid piece of junk.
Stop!
- What did that poor blender ever do to you?
- It's broken.
I'm sending it back to the shop.
- Maybe i can lend a hand.
- Ok.
Everyone, listen up.
This is sophie.
She knows how this place runs, and she is the new manager.
- New manager?
- Yeah.
So, all staff stuff goes through her from now.
I'll be out back.
- I've got it covered.
Zane?
Thanks.
- Um, no.
That was meant to be mango.
- Your mind's not on the job.
That was your last shift.
Sorry about that.
- That was awesome.
- I'll get you a fresh one.
- Hey, can i ask you something?
- Do you mind?
- No.
- Hey, i thought you'd spent your allowance.
- Now that i'm working, what i do with my money is none of
Your business.
- Uh, you have a job?
- Mm hmm.
At the cafe.
The new manager there said i have a great future.
Unbelievable.
Oh, i agree.
It's completely, utterly ridiculous.
Rikki, why aren't you mad about this?
- It just—
It just doesn't make sense.
- All the girls in the world he could choose.
- He picks her.
- And rikki'd been gone what, five minutes?
- Oh, it's all right, honestly.
Zane can hire whoever he wants.
- Hey guys.
- You can't be serious.
- Well, no.
I just won't step foot in there.
That's all.
- Well, maybe we should all stop.
The band can find other places to gig.
- No, please don't change your lives just because
Zane and i broke up.
- Aw, - I'm meant to be down there now for a sound check.
- Watch your back.
- Ha.
- Ok, does someone want to tell me what's going on?
- Your sister's the new manager of the cafe.
- I want the staff to help me with a total
Makeover of this place.
I'm not here to make friends.
If someone can't give me 100%, they're out.
- You can count on me 200%.
- Good.
Not so sure about the rest of the staff though.
- I'll keep my eye on them for you.
- Let me show you the ropes, and you'll go far.
Over there, i think.
And after that, the toilets will need a good cleaning.
- Sure.
- What on earth's going on?
- Well, i don't know but this sure ain't rock and roll.
- Don't touch that!
Sophie's making some style changes.
- Well, they don't leave much room for us on stage.
- Is there a problem here?
- Yeah, the, uh, new look doesn't really suit our music.
- In what way?
- What was wrong with the old setup?
- Yeah, what's all this junk for?
- Zane has given me the authority to revamp this
Place, and not a moment too soon.
I'm going for a tropical, beachcomber type.
- I love it!
- Hey girls.
For you.
I like the new look, and you look great up there.
- I hope so.
What's that smell?
- Uh, must be the flower.
- Bless you.
I wanted to be like everyone, but nobody
Understands me like you.
Uh, sorry guys.
Let me try that again.
- One, two, three, four.
- Always wear gloves when preparing juices.
There are three speeds on this blender.
Never use the top one.
Kim, are you paying attention?
- Yeah.
I wanted to be like everyone, but nobody
Understands me like you.
So work it out.
- I'm gonna take five.
- Your eyes are all puffy.
- Yeah, i think it's hay fever.
Thanks, but no thanks.
- Yeah.
I'll get rid of this.
- Sorry guys.
Can we try that song again?
I wanted to be like everyone—
- Sophie wants the volume turned down.
- But we're sound checking.
There's no point—
- Turned down.
- I don't think so.
Let's do our encore number.
I'm the kind of girl when i'm looking at ya,
Further than your mind can see.
I'm the kind of girl gotta make it happen today.
I don't need a hand when you're hitting zero.
I can do it all myself.
Heard about your plans, think i'm going solo, hey.
So, i'll make it easy—
- Is this supposed to happen?
- Somehow, i turned all the drinks into jelly.
This is a disaster.
I've lost control.
- So, normally when you sneeze, you don't—
- Turn everything into jelly?
No, it's a first.
- Well, on the upside, i think you may have just created a
New dessert.
- It's gotta be those flowers you're allergic to.
- Or to sophie.
- You should see someone about it.
- Well, i can't exactly go to a doc—
- Bless you.
- Go to a doctor and tell him that my mermaid magic powers
Are playing up, can i?
- True.
- We'll get rid of those flowers, and you'll be fine.
- It's all right.
We are going to help you.
- Today's takings.
- Wow, you've had a big day.
And the place certainly looks different too.
- I made a few changes.
I hope you don't mind.
What?
- I'm—
I'm glad you're here.
- Ta da!
- Ah, this looks wonderful.
Sertori family secret recipe?
- Of course.
- I've lost my appetite.
- But it's your favorite.
- It used to be.
Mrs.
Well, what's changed?
- Did anyone see cleo wash her hands?
In fact, does anyone ever see cleo wash her hands?
- Of course i do.
This is ridiculous.
- Is it, when up to a million germs can be shared through
Bad hygiene?
- You never had a problem with my cooking before.
- That was before i became a food professional at the cafe.
Sophie says hygienic food handling is
Our number one priority.
- Well, if you knew what sophie was really like, you wouldn't
Be following her around in the first place.
- Ugh, you know?
- A lot more than you.
- Sophie manages a successful cafe.
You just feed dolphins smelly pieces of fish.
- Ha ha!
I'd rather work with smelly fish all day than—
- Girls!
For once, i'd like to enjoy a meal in peace.
Sit down and eat.
- No way.
- I can't live like this.
Kim's on a power trip, sophie-Style.
- Hey sneezy.
- Shh.
I haven't— you know— in at least 12 hours.
- Wow.
Maybe you are just allergic to sophie.
- Maybe we all are.
- What are we?
- Oh, nothing.
I was just telling the girls that my sneezing is completely
Under control.
- Water is one of the few substances that actually
Increases in size as it cools.
Today, we'll be measuring how much expansion takes place.
You ok?
- Yeah, just testing.
- Measure the volume of water in your beakers, pour it into
The vacuum flask, and compare that to the increase of volume
As it freezes.
- I told you there was nothing to worry about.
- Incoming.
- What on earth is going on?
All right.
Ok, who's responsible for this?
- Um—
- Uh, i am.
Sorry, miss.
It was supposed to be a joke.
- Right.
Not funny.
Clean it up.
- Bella!
- I don't get it.
There were no flowers this time.
- There must be something else setting it off.
- If i don't fix it soon, i can't go to school.
I can't go out.
I can't do anything.
I might be not be normal again!
- Don't worry about it.
We'll help you work it out, won't we, rikki?
- Yeah.
Well, maybe you can just live in one of those
Little plastic bubbles.
- And what about the band?
It's not their fault that we're gonna lose the gig.
- Well, you're not going to.
- How?
- Because—
Because—
Because we're going to get you a stand-In.
That's what you need.
Someone to step in until we figure all this out.
- Like who?
- Well— well, it's gotta be someone who knows the band and
All the songs, and a close friend.
Someone that you can trust to step down once you're better.
- Someone like—
- No way.
No way!
- One, two, three, four.
I try to be like everybody else, but
Nobody understands me like you do.
- Ok, ok.
Stop.
Let's, uh, just stop.
- How did i go?
I'm a little, like, a little rusty.
- You sounded like a cat dying painfully.
Isn't the idea to entertain the customers, not to make
Their ears bleed?
- Kim, with my close and personal attention, your
Sister is going to be carving up the stage in no time.
- Straight up, how did i go?
- Baby face, you're the best shot this band has.
- So, bella seems to be all right for a while, and then
Something happens which—
- Sets her off again.
- And it started at the cafe.
- You say sophie's been making some style alterations?
- If you call palm trees and frangipanis style.
- Well, if it started there, you have to be
Allergic to one of those.
- But there weren't any flowers in the classroom.
- But if there was a window open, it could have been
Something in the school garden.
- So, we find out which plant sets you off at the cafe, we
Get rid of it, and then you're cured.
- I am willing to try anything at this point.
- All right.
Let's do it.
- Why don't you wait here?
We'll let you know what happens.
- I can't hide from zane for the rest of my life.
- Who says you're hiding?
- Lovely to see you.
Kim will take your order.
- Bella is sick, but i have discovered a very talented
Replacement.
Come on.
- No way.
Kim's already warned me about her.
- Aw, just give her a go.
Honestly, you'll be surprised, and the
Audience will love her.
- Ok.
But if i don't like her, then you're all
Out of here for good.
- Hey, baby cakes, you're gonna be a star!
- Do you really think this is a good idea?
- Yes, absolutely.
Now, just one quick thing about the wardrobe.
Basically, just wear something short and tight.
- Short and tight.
Ok.
- Kim, we need some drinks over here.
- Um, i think—
- I'm not asking you to think.
- All right.
We'll check the pot plants first, then the decorations.
- Thanks, will.
You've been so good through all of this.
- Faster, kim.
100%, remember?
I thought you were sick.
- Here's your juice.
- Ugh, you idiot!
I told you not to use the top speed!
- But i didn't!
- You're fired.
Get out of my sight!
You'd better play well tonight, or you're out too!
- Got no choice.
Yeah!
- Hi everyone.
Welcome to rikki's.
I'm gonna sing you a little song.
Forget the song.
How 'bout some cartwheels?
- In a minute.
- Figured it out.
- What?
- The sneezing.
Here, soap.
No offense, but take a shower.
And no more of that aftershave.
- What is she doing here?
Tell her to leave.
- No, no, no.
Leave rikki alone.
What's in your hair?
We're trying to look professional here.
- You mean it was me all along?
- Who are you trying to impress anyway?
Turns out will's aftershave has some kind of extract in it
Which may smell good but isn't very mermaid-Friendly.
I smelt it at the boat shed.
It made me sneeze as well.
I guess you're just more sensitive to it.
- One, two—
- Hi.
- We're saved.
- Hello everyone.
Thank you for coming.
Uh, we would like to play you some of our
Songs, if you like.
I wanted to be like everyone, but nobody
Understands me like you.
So, work it out.
'cause when you're around i feel like this.
Maybe it's just you make me crazy.
I'll work it out.
I don't need no simple thing, but baby i worked it out.
'cause it's real when you see me.
Only you can free me or i'm here by myself.
And it feels like it could be, should be
All that really matters.
I'm ready to fly with you.
- So, are you gonna get another job?
- Um, i've been thinking.
There are employees in the world, like you.
And then there are people suited to do bigger things.
I'm not gonna take another job unless i'm the boss.
- That's a terrifying thought.
- Hey, um, i got you a little something to thank
You for your help.
- Aftershave?
Thanks, but i should be the one making it up to you.
- The part that i don't get is why the smell was only
Affecting me.
I mean, the others were around you too.
- Um, yeah.
That might be because when we're in the same room, you're
Always the person i stand closest to.
What'd we miss?
Uh, we were just
Testing for mermaid allergies.
- Ok.
What do you think?
- Perfect.
- Very nice.
- Ah—ah—
- Rikki?
- Uh, i'll wash this off.
- I don't feel a thing.
- Me neither.
I just figured he could do with some payback.
- Oh.
Js
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.
