Come on, people.
If you can sing, then come and try out for our live music nights at the ocean cafe.
That's right live music starting tonight, and I need a singer.
Auditions today only at 1 o'clock.
Hey, mate, this could be your big break.
Jess will sign you up.
Don't be shy.
Sign up or miss out.
I need a singer, and it could easily be any one of you.
Sirena.
Oh, David.
Hi.
I didn't see you there.
It really could be you.
You have to try out.
I could be what? My singer.
Business has been slow, so I figured music might bring people in.
I play guitar, but I need someone to accompany me.
That's a good idea.
So you'll do it? You'll audition? Me? Sing? I I couldn't do that.
Why not? You've got an amazing voice.
I don't think so.
Come on.
Please try out.
For me? OK.
Why are you giving us lemons? Is it because mermaid school's over and we're squeezing them over fresh oysters to eat instead? Just put them in front of you and watch what I do.
I like that.
I'm sorry.
What could this possibly help us with other than maybe squashing a jellyfish or squeezing open a clam? I don't see the point.
Unless an underwater cave collapsed on you or you came face to face with a killer whale, then you might find it extremely useful.
OK, Lyla, you're first.
Hold the fingers of your right hand like this.
Don't tense.
Firm but relaxed.
Keep the lemon in the centre of your vision.
Great.
OK.
Nixie, your turn.
If this is so important, why is Sirena not here? She has been missing a few classes lately.
She'll be at the cafe.
Yeah.
Hanging out with that land boy who works there.
David? She's been doing that a lot lately.
Sirena.
Glad you could join us.
Hi, Rita.
Is it OK if I catch up on this later? I'm kinda busy.
Thanks.
Bye.
What you doing? Practising for my audition.
Your what? It's a tryout.
The ocean cafe is having a live music night and David needs a singer.
You can't be serious.
Well, why not? David said I have an amazing voice.
So this is all about David.
Yes, we have been noticing how much time you've been spending with him.
I am not.
I used to sing all the time with Aquata.
I miss it that's all.
Well, then sing out on the reef.
Why do you have to go in the cafe? Yeah.
Yeah, there's a lot of ways to get splashed there.
Well, it's never been a problem before.
And we go there practically every day.
You mean you do? Just remember we're here to fix Zac and get the Pod back, not to get all mixed up land boys.
Who knows how long we're gonna be stuck here? It could be ages.
And we've got to fit in.
You've always said that.
You know we don't need to fit in that much.
We need to stick together and concentrate on what we came to land for in the first place.
I'm sorry, but this is something I really want to do.
I have a really bad feeling about this.
Yeah.
Yeah, me too.
Hey, Evie.
Oh.
It's weird.
I woke up and I wanted to kiss you today.
Is today the 17th? It must be, because I got you this.
Happy anniversary.
Oh.
The best eight months of my life.
It's beautiful.
I love it.
Better get back to work.
How can eight months be an anniversary? If you've ever had a girlfriend for longer than eight minutes, you wouldn't need to ask.
Am I too early? I didn't wanna be late.
No.
You're right on time.
So nervous.
Hey, don't worry.
I know you're gonna sound fantastic.
Maybe he won't pick her.
No human can sing better than a mermaid.
OK, let's go.
I wish I could just give you the job.
You're the person I really wanna sing with.
You mean that? So let's go make it happen.
OK.
Did you see how he looked at her? Did you see how she looked at him? This isn't about singing.
She's fallen for a land boy.
Just like Rita.
Yeah.
You know how that turned out.
She had to leave the Pod forever.
Maybe it doesn't have to be that serious.
Maybe it's just a phase she'll get over.
Not if she's performing with him every night.
We can't let her sing with him.
Ever.
Tell me what you've been thinking.
I'll tell you what's on my mind.
I'm through with playing this game now.
I said baby this is the time.
I don't need excuses Uh, sorry.
I forgot the words.
Can I just start again? No, no.
That's fine.
We're quite happy with what we've heard.
Uh, yeah.
Thanks, Hannah.
We'll be in touch.
And next up is Sirena.
With those thoughts in my head of the things that you said, and I'm still holding on.
OK, we have to do something.
What's that thing Rita was showing us? I thought you said it was pointless.
Well, maybe in the ocean.
But up here, it has its uses.
Sirena's vocal chords, for example.
Are you kidding?! What, you have a better idea to stop her? To feel your love Like this.
If you'd listened, you'd know how.
OK.
Nixie, fingers.
You're gonna choke her.
OK! I get it.
I fall to the ground.
Your words I'm still not sure we do this.
You want her to leave the Pod forever? You taught me how to dream beyond what I can I'm so I'm so sorry.
Sirena.
Sirena? You think that was a real laugh, huh? Laugh? About what? I saw it all.
Sirena sings while you do the little trick with your fingers.
- We don't know what you're talking about.
- Come on.
Her voice went so high, it smashed Evie's figurine to pieces.
That was nothing to do with us.
Well, it just it does that sometimes.
It was her anniversary present.
I just gave it to her this morning, and I wanna know what you're gonna do about replacing it.
You're kidding.
It's not our fault, OK? Sorry.
Here.
Sip it slowly.
It's seaweed from the galapagos islands and soft coral from the waters around Fiji.
You'll have your voice back in no time.
Do you feel like telling me how this happened? Why did the mermaids break it? Because they were showing off their powers and couldn't care what happened.
Speaking of powers, do you know any tricks that might help you fix this thing, considering art isn't really your strong suit.
Thanks a lot but their tricks wrecked David's auditions.
What's the point? Especially if Sirena's still got the gig.
Are they gonna wreck that too? Or maybe she doesn't have it.
Sing something.
Oh, I don't want the gig.
Well, other people do.
If they wanna cause trouble, two can play at that game.
Sing something.
Is this gonna hurt? I'll take it slow.
Sing something your favourite song.
Anything.
Um Jingle bells.
Jingle bells.
Jingle all I love Christmas, alright? All the way.
oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh, Through the fields we go Laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtails ring, Making spirits bright.
Oh, what fun it is to sing a sleighing song tonight.
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells.
Jingle all the way.
Did you hear that? I'm good.
No, I'm good.
Now let's get David a new singer and pay those mermaids back.
Cheer up, David.
Can I audition now? Yeah, sure.
Whoo! Go, Carly! You walked into that room and hit me with a smile.
Your eyes were crystal blue, and my heart jumped a mile.
Boy, this is crazy.
Don't mean maybe.
I just wanna fly.
Come on, come on.
Get up, get up.
Just call me, baby.
You've got my number.
Come on, come on.
Get up, get up.
I just wanna talk with you.
Do I keep going? I didn't know you could sing, Carly.
I've heard about this.
People just suddenly develop something.
Yeah.
Like asthma.
I've never heard of anyone suddenly being able to sing.
I wasn't that bad, to start with.
Oh, no, I-I didn't mean it like that.
I just didn't realise how good you were.
I think you just found your singer, dude.
This could be so big for me.
Please, David.
I'll I'll still wait your tables.
At least for a little while.
Sure.
Congrats, Carly.
Yes! You've got the gig.
You start tonight.
Sirena? Sirena? Are you all right? We can explain.
We're your friends.
We didn't want you to make a terrible mistake.
Friends!? You think this is what friends do? You embarrassed me in front of all those people.
We didn't wanna do that.
You just weren't listening to us about David.
Being with him would wreck your life.
You just did that.
Sirena, Rita left the Pod for a land boy.
She could never come back.
Do you never wanna see Aquata again? I don't wanna be a part of a Pod that treats me like this.
I would rather have legs forever.
You can't mean that.
I can't feel any worse than I already do.
I thought I had real friends.
Obviously not.
Sirena.
So much for trying to keep her close.
I'd say you just pushed her further away.
Time stands still, and you come round.
Call on me.
I break the rules to feel your love Flow so free.
Oh.
You fixed it for me.
Uh, it's still two dolphins swimming, but I love it.
I'm so glad we're back together.
We really are lucky to have each other.
Yeah, same.
Not like poor David and Sirena.
What do you mean? What do you think was the real reason for this music night? To make money? How can you be so sensitive about some things and so totally unaware of others? It was so he could be with her.
But now she won't sing or Probably ever go to the cafe again.
He's gutted.
Wish I'd known.
What could you have done? Even if Sirena changed her mind, it's too late.
Carly's singing.
You know, I never thought her voice was that great, but who knew? Yeah.
Who knew? Sirena.
We're sorry.
We mean it.
What we did was terrible.
Sirena? Look, we wanna make it up to you, OK? Just do you think you can forgive us? Of course I forgive you.
You're right.
What was I thinking wanting to be with a land boy? I don't belong in his world.
I never have, and I never will.
I was just lucky you guys were there to save me.
Zac, we're all set.
For what? A great night of music.
We've got a table just there.
Carly's pumped.
She's gonna blow their socks off.
Doesn't look like David will.
So he wanted Sirena.
Carly's gonna be even better, thanks to you.
I don't know if this is such a good idea any more.
I thought you wanted to get the mermaids back.
Things are a lot more complicated now.
Carly's on the precipice of stardom, and you're pulling the rug out from underneath her.
Cam, she can't actually sing.
She thinks she can.
And if she gets up there without you, she'll be scarred for life.
Well, if you like David, you shouldn't let him go.
Forget that you're from different worlds.
Rita found a way to make that work.
She had to leave the Pod.
But they didn't understand.
We do.
Doesn't matter.
I don't like him that much.
Oh, yes, you do.
We can tell.
It's not serious.
I'll get over it.
No, you won't.
Sirena, you guys are mad for each other.
It's obvious.
That's the main reason why I tried to stop you.
I was scared that you would leave the Pod, that you would leave me.
There, I said it.
You're like a sister to me.
I don't wanna lose you.
You think she's not like a sister to me too? Oh my goodness.
Are we talking to you? Yeah, but would you two stop fighting? This is about me.
I was never gonna leave you guys for David.
You're like sisters to me too.
And what you feel for him's pretty special, though.
Right? Then we'd better hurry if you're gonna get to the cafe in time.
I can't go back after what I put him through.
Please.
I'm sure he'll forgive you.
I let him down.
I ran out on him.
I don't think he will.
Welcome, everyone, to our first live music night at the ocean cafe.
Joining me for her debut performance will be our friend Carly.
Crowd applauds, man whoops You walked into that room and hit me with a smile.
Your eyes were crystal blue, and my heart jumped a mile.
Boy, this is crazy.
Don't mean maybe.
I just wanna fly.
Co I'm sorry.
I don't feel so good.
What happened? She sounded so good earlier.
Carly.
I'm terrible, OK? I don't know why I thought I was good enough to do this.
I must have just fluked my audition.
Well, maybe it's because we should have practised more.
And maybe you should have played with the person who can really sing the person who you really wanted to all along.
I'm may be tone-deaf, but I'm not blind as well.
Thank you, Carly.
Sirena, can I have a word? Uh, I hope you've changed your mind about singing with me, because I can't think of any other way to convince you other than to tell you that I really really like you, Sirena, and, um, well, yeah.
Now you know.
I really really like you too.
Of course I'll sing with you.
Something goes wrong; Hard to hold on.
I must be brave.
With you in my life, and everything's right, I can't be afraid.
With those thoughts in my head of the things that you said, and I'm still holding on.
Time stands still when you come round.
Call on me.
I break the rules to feel your love flow so free.
Walls tumble down.
I fall to the ground.
Your words seem so clear.
You taught me how to dream beyond what I'd seen.
I know that you're here.
With those thoughts in my head and all that you said, and nothing more to fear.
Time stands still when you come round.
Call on me.
I break the rules to feel your love flow so free.
