"I could've lasted way longer." "How many minutes was that?" "After...20 minutes, I kind of lost interest." "I reckon I could last a whole hour without taking a breath." "Hey, Zac." "Stop her!" "He's... training." "Really?" "He... he hasn't been lately." "Well, he's back into it now." "So we'd better not disturb him." "Can I buy you a juice?" "Now?" "I..." "I just got here." "Can't mess up his program." "Let's go." "We need to talk!" "Later." "Soon!" "Where are we going?" "What's wrong with Zac lately?" "He's never around." "He never calls." "Is he stressing over something?" "No." "Nothing special." "Are you sure?" "It's just not like him." "I'm his best mate." "I'd know." "Well, something's up." "Why don't we invite a few guys over to hang out and cheer him up?" "Cheer him up?" "Yeah, like a pool party." "Oh, no." "No, a pool party's definitely not a good idea." "Why not?" "He's... not been into swimming much lately." "He was just now." "I know." "But..." "So we won't tell him." "That way he can't say he's not in the mood." "Surprise him?" "Don't think he'd like that either." "He'll love it." "You want to see him back to normal, don't you?" "Hi, Dr Blakeley." "It's... it's Evie." "How are we gonna get rid of Zac's powers?" "Nothing has worked." "I still say we become his friend." "We'll get him to trust us and then we work together to get rid of them." "We tried being friends with him and it didn't work." "It would have." "We just got interrupted, that's all." "He's never gonna trust us enough to tell us his secret." "I'm good at getting people to open up." "What is he, a clam?" "Why is he gonna admit anything to you?" "I'll force him." "He's gonna love that." "He won't know he's being forced." "He'll be unconscious?" "I'll be subtle." "Oh." "'Cause you, my friend, are about as subtle as a walrus." "OK?" "So, good luck with that." "A pool party?" "Great." "Just great." "Why didn't you talk her out of it?" "Like you've ever talked Evie out of anything." "It's never been this important." "So it's all on me again?" "Well, you could've come up with something." "Like the truth, maybe?" "You're joking." "No, I'm not joking, Zac." "She's your girlfriend." "She already knows you're keeping something from her." "And how long is she gonna stick around once she realises I'm a freak?" "I've stuck by you, haven't I?" "But it can't all be up to me." "I just can't keep on stalling her forever." "Just... just find a way to stop what she's planning." "You find a way." "I didn't know Zac was having a party." "Neither does he." "It's a... surprise, to cheer him up." "So, can you come?" "Sure." "We can hang out, talk about something other than what table six ordered." "OK." "Cool." "Sounds good to me." "Hey, guys." "Would you like a table?" "Let me clear this one up for you." "Have you seen Zac?" "Not today." "But I'll see him tomorrow, if that helps." "There's a pool party at his place." "A party?" "Really?" "Hey... maybe you'd like to come?" "Yeah." "We'd love to." "Thanks." ""We"?" "You meant all of us, didn't you?" "Uh... um... yeah, I guess." "Thank you for that invitation." "I told you I'd figure out how to get close to Zac." "Zac!" "You've been out here a while." "Oh, just doing some warm-ups." "What happened?" "I don't know." "I just noticed." "You just noticed?" "It's almost empty." "Better get the, uh, pool guy back." "Oh, no." "You know how long he takes to come." "Has to be fixed by tomorrow." "How come?" "What's the rush?" "Well, someone might turn up." "You never know." "There must be a block in one of these pipes." "Here." "Take this." "I can't." "Um, I..." "I haven't finished my homework." "It'll only take a minute." "Here, hold it!" "No, seriously, I'm way behind in my studies." "You've got time to train half the day." "Mate, I don't know what's wrong with you lately." "It's not like you've got much to do around here, but at least you're supposed to look after the pool." "Rob." "Phone for you." "Oh." "Thanks." "I'll be right back." "Just get it sorted, alright?" "Sure, Dad." "He's getting away with far too much lately." "I've been missing you." "Me too." "That's why I called you." "We need to spend some quality time together." "Here I am." "I meant a whole day, chilling, catching up, just the two of us." "I can't wait." "When?" "Tomorrow." "Tomorrow's not good." "Why?" "What's happening?" "Uh..." "I've got plans." "Oh, yeah?" "Something more important than me?" "No." "So, cancel." "I know I've been neglecting you." "Let me make it up to you." "Any way, anything you like." "We can catch a movie." "We can go for a run." "We haven't been hiking for ages." "It sounds... amazing." "But not tomorrow." "Come on." "Whatever it is, you can put it off for us." "Don't, Zac." "If I told you, you'd understand." "Why can't you tell me now?" "I just... can't." "OK." "Just... move over a sec." "Just for a sec." "Move over." "Mm." "Is this really what they wear to parties?" "Yes." "This looks stupid." "No." "You look fine." "Really?" "You girls look stunning." "We're only going so we can get close to Zac, so he'll tell us his secret." "In my experience, it's not easy getting teenage boys to talk about themselves." "That's why we have to build his trust first." "He's probably feeling lonely." "He'll... want to talk to someone." "Nice day for it." "Cut the act." "We're only out here 'cause of Evie's party." "Your uncle wanted me out of the way." "I could've cleared off by myself." "And not come back for the party." "Which would dump you in it, right?" "I can't even risk pretending to fish." "Just like I can't risk this party, or heaps of stuff anymore." "Aren't you forgetting about the upside?" "Torpedo swimming?" "The amazing powers?" "I'd swap with you any day." "Hey, Carly." "Here's that order of prawns you wanted." "Oh, thanks, Hannah." "Sorry, I forgot to pick it up myself." "Oh, it's no probs." "The cafe's on my way here." "Why did you get so many?" "For Zac." "He's been ordering nothing but at the cafe lately." "It's weird." "So glad you could make it." "Hey, nice shirt." "Gee, thanks." "I hope you don't mind - I asked some friends along." "Great." "Do you want a drink or something to eat?" "Yeah, thanks." "Here we go." "I can't see Zac." "What a waste of time." "It was fun for me too, dude." "Maybe I could still break a leg or something." "Just act surprised." "They're here." "Quiet, everyone." "Alright, let's get this over with." "What did I say about "surprised"?" "Maybe take it down a few notches." "Surprise!" "Zac." "Hi." "I hope it's OK we turned up." "Sure." "It's fine." "Having fun?" "Yes." "Thanks for this." "Come on in." "The water's beautiful." "Nah, I..." "I don't feel like it." "I'm not coming out till you join me." "Watch out!" "Zac!" "I'm just chilling here for now, OK?" "Uh-uh." "People are looking." "Why?" "You're not supposed to eat this part." "But it's my favourite bit." "Some people have strange tastes." "Oh... she's just nervous." "Me, I obviously know which end of the prawn is up." "I bet you write stuff like that on your wall." "Um..." "I don't write anything on walls." "Yeah." "People put way too much rubbish on them." "They do?" "Not me." "So, if you want to friend me, hit me up." "Really?" "You mean that?" "Hit you up?" "Why wouldn't I?" "You have a crazy sense of humour." "That's a nice song." "Do you like music?" "I like to sing." "Yeah, I've heard you." "What songs do you like?" "Just ones the pods sing, you know." "The Pod..." "I don't think I've heard of that band." "Where are they from?" "Oh, I..." "I don't know." "Hey, David." "Do you want to come for a swim?" "Yeah." "Up for it, Sirena?" "Oh, no, I didn't bring my swimmers." "To a pool party?" "That's a shame." "We won't be long." "If you want to go, please, just... go." "No, no." "That's fine." "I'll stay here with you and do the music." "Are you really sure you don't want to come in?" "I, um, had a big swim yesterday." "You don't mind that I've done this?" "No!" "No." "It's an awesome surprise." "Really thoughtful." "So, thanks." "So, how's it going with him?" "It's impossible." "Whenever I get a chance, she gets in the way." "Well, I warned you, didn't I?" "Maybe I can help." "Zac!" "There you go." "Hi." "Not partying?" "I'm not in the mood." "Me neither." "I still feel like a bit of a stranger in there, though." "I'm the same." "But they're your friends." "Why do you feel like that?" "No special reason." "It's gonna be a full moon shortly." "It always makes me feel different." "What?" "The full moon - doesn't it get to you?" "No." "Why should it?" "I just wondered." "You don't talk much." "Not much to talk about." "It can help, you know, if you've got someone to share things with." "Yeah, the rules are that if I catch it, that he has to set up a tent..." "What's going on with Zac and that girl?" "You've been covering for him all the time." "I don't know what you mean." "All that stuff about "busy training"?" "You really thought I wouldn't find out?" "What?" "He's been seeing someone else." "Oh!" "No." "No, no, no, no." "You're way off there." "The new girl." "Lyla." "Her buddy." "Lyla?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "I saw them just now cosying up on the jetty." "Well, that's news to me." "Come on." "You've both been scheming and you're not very good at it." "Hey!" "Back off!" "I'm..." "I'm sick of this, alright?" "I've had it - with both of you." "I can tell you're worried about something." "Look, I don't want to talk about it, OK?" "It can make a difference." "Trust me." "All you've got to do is just... share with me." "I get this." "You're trying to hit on me." "Excuse me?" "Lyla, if you're trying to make some kind of move, forget it." "You've got to be kidding." "That's how it looks." "Sharing, "let's talk" - the standard come-on." "I've already got a girlfriend." "She's out of her mind!" "I wouldn't go for you if you were the last fish in the sea." "Same goes for me." "Fine by me too." "Why her?" "Why any of them?" "I'm gonna be sick." "Me too." "You're a great dancer." "Really?" "I haven't had legs for long." "Oooh, what happened?" "He's one stuck-up, fat-headed land boy and I'd rather get close to a shark." "Well, sounds like it went really well." "Can we just get out of here?" "Come on, Sirena." "I have to go." "What?" "Right now?" "Why?" "I just do." "But thanks." "I had a really fantastic time." "Me too." "Can't you just stay..." "till the end of the song?" "Yeah." "Sure." "What were you doing out here with Lyla?" "What?" "Nothing!" "Rubbish!" "Evie saw you together." "We were talking." "And the rest?" "Well, she's wrong." "I'm sick of being caught in the middle of this." "So, don't be." "What choice have I got?" "You keep away and let me front her for you over and over." "And she's right about one thing." "What?" "You HAVE changed." "Knock it off." "You used to think about other people." "Now you're totally focused on you." "That's not true!" "You were out here with another girl, getting me to cover for you." "I wasn't!" "What sort of patsy do you think I am?" "!" "No more." "You can't treat me like this." "I said I wasn't." "Alright?" "Bye." "See ya." "Bye." "Bye." "Bye." "Bye." "You're so far up yourself, you can't even see it." "Your personal bests, your superpowers..." "So that's it." "You're jealous." "Oh, yeah." "I've seen you watching me swim, wishing you were half as good." "Have a listen to yourself, mate!" "You're on one huge ego trip!" "If that's what you think, then why are you even here?" "I'm not." "I'm splitting." "Have a good party, loser." "What happened to you?" "I know this must be freaking you out." "It happened on Mako Island." "Me and Cam were camping there one night and..." "I saw this light coming from a cave and some rocks." "And I went in." "And...?" "That's all I remember." "When was this?" "It was a while ago." "It was a full moon." "There you are." "What's going on?" "Nothing." "Just chatting." "We were just thanking Zac for the party, that's all." "We're going now." "About that stuff before - don't worry." "We're good." "What did that mean?" "Dunno." "Nothing." "Are you seeing her?" "What?" "No way." "That's how it looks, Zac." "Well, you're wrong." "We've never had secrets before." "I'm not lying to you." "I really hope not." "I had a really good time." "So you keep saying." "And we did it." "Zac finally trusts us." "Well, he doesn't really have a choice." "He kind of has to." "No, he wants to." "I talked to him." "He's lonely." "He's not happy." "He needs someone to share all this with and he's got no-one else now." "Zac wants to get rid of his powers just as much as we do." "So... it kind of sounds like we got him right where we want him."
