(energetic music)

- [Brooke] Since Mike and I agreed

to put our relationship on hold, life couldn't be better.

Things are going well at school.

I'm surfing better than ever.

It's like a boyfriend you have

when you don't have a boyfriend.

It's the perfect setup.

- There's only one thing to do

after an awesome surf and that's eat.

Who's coming to the cafe?

- [Cory] Me, I'm starving.

- [Amy] I could m*rder a burger.

- And a milkshake.

Don't forget the milkshake.

- You coming?

- No, I think I'll stay at home.

I got a bit of homework to catch up on.

- Okay.

See you later.

- See you.

- [Brooke] Sometimes it's not easy giving each other space

but in the end I know it's the right thing for both of us.

- If things are going so well, why do I feel this way?

- What way?

- Like somethings not quite right?

- It would help if you were a bit more specific.

- Okay. Me and Mike.

It feels like something is missing.

- You've got everything just the way you want it.

Haven't you?

So then what's the problem?

- You're right.

There isn't one.

(slow guitar music)

- Okay guys, everyone in here for a sec.

Listen up.

The local surf club is having a fundraiser next weekend.

- I'm in.

- You haven't even heard what they want you to do yet.

- True. But I'm guessing it involves surfing.

- Well, you'd be right.

They're having a mixed doubles event.

- How does that work?

- Well you pair up, boy, girl, tag-team.

Most points wins.

But the points don't go to your overall assessment.

It's just a nice family day and --

- Good PR.

- Good PR.

So what do you think?

- We're up for it.

- Yeah sure.

- Rach, you and me, what do you reckon?

- Hey, trying to steal my girlfriend are you?

- Mate, it's a mixed doubles event.

Okay? Not a couples come on downie.

Rach?

- Okay, you're on.

- That leaves you and me then Brooke.

- Sure. I'm cool with that.

- Good, I'll let them know.

- You know, this might not count for assessment,

but we can make it interesting.

- Enlighten us, Cory.

- Whichever team wins gets two weeks off household duties.

- Mhm.

- So about this bet, what chores are we talking about?

- The usual, cooking, cleaning, washing.

- I'm not washing your socks, man.

- [Corey] Better get used to it after Saturday.

- In your dreams, you have no hope.

- Sorry guys, the best team is gonna win,

and that's clearly me and Rach.

- Hasn't got much faith in you, has he?

- I can handle it.

- Two whole weeks of no housework.

Bring it on.

- [Mike] Alright let's go.

- Wait up, I'll get my joggers,

I'll come with you.

- Uh, no, sorry, no way.

- What do you mean?

- Nothing personal, team run, talking tactics.

- Tactics?

- Yeah, for the fundraiser, remember?

- Oh, yeah, how could I forget?

- C'mon partner.

- [Brooke] Partner?

Rachel and Mike?

- See ya!

- [Brooke] Get a grip girl, it's only a competition.

A bit fun. That's all.

- Ready, go!

- [Brooke] But around here, we know that all competition

should be taken seriously.

Even when it involves your best friend.

And your non-boyfriend.

- Hey, land of the living dead?

- What?

- You are doing a great impersonation

of a zombie there, Brooke.

- Do you ever talk to yourself?

- Why? Has someone said something?

- Just wondering, that's all.

- Wait, sure, when no one's home,

I might have a bit of a one way conversation

but sometimes it's very intelligent.

- Wish I could say the same.

Not looking forward to the test?

- No, geography always gets me.

I mean, how much can you say about alluvial soil.

- So, how's it going with Mike?

- We're working on some things.

- Things? What sort of things?

- Sorry, that would be giving away secrets.

But what I can tell you is,

Mike is so cool.

I think I'm in love.

- Excuse me?

- I said we're going to whip your butts.

C'mon, we'll be late for class.

- [Brooke] Earth to Brooke, you're losing it again.

C'mon girl.

(slow, expressive guitar)

- Hey, Eric?

- Yeah?

- What do you want on your pizza?

- I just like it simple mate.

Ham, pineapple, mushroom.

- Ham?

- Did I say ham?

- In Naples, pizza is tomato and basil.

- Yeah, that's a pizza base, not the pizza.

- Brooke, back me up here.

- I can't say I'm fast.

- Are we finishing this game or what?

- Corey?

Do you want to talk tactics

for the surf competition tomorrow?

- What for?

Firstly, I've got it all worked out.

Secondly, best team is gonna win.

And thirdly, there is no thirdly.

- Are we gonna finish this game or what?

- Did I just say that?

- Yeah, but let's get a new one.

- C'mon man, it's your shot.

- Hey, Rach, try this.

Careful, it's hot.

- They're flirting.

In the open.

In front of everyone.

- They're making pizza.

Big deal.

- It is a big deal.

Cooking together is like step number one

on the road to going out.

- So what?

Didn't you call it off with Mike?

- Put on hold.

- Boyfriend on hold?

What does that mean exactly?

- It means what it means.

For the time being we're not seeing each other

but we might again in the future.

- Exactly.

So for the time being,

Mike's a single guy right?

- I guess so.

- Free to see whoever he wants.

- Yes.

No.

- Well, which is it?

- Shut up, will you?

(splash)

- Hi!

I thought I'd save you a piece.

Those boys can put it away.

- Thanks.

I'm not really hungry.

- You sure?

It's pretty good.

- Thanks.

- Are you okay?

You seem, I don't know, a bit down?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

Couldn't be better.

- That's good to hear.

You know what it's like with your friends sometimes,

you worry.

- Yeah, I guess you do.

- I've been meaning to say,

you've been surfing really well lately.

- Thanks.

- I was watching you today.

It was awesome.

- Just one of those days, that's all.

- No, I know how hard you've been training,

and it shows.

If anyone deserves success, it's you.

- What was I thinking?

Rachel's my best friend.

There's no way she could ever be interested in Mike.

- What?

- Oh, I was just thinking you and I should go down

to the video shop

get a chick flick, have a girls night in.

What do you think?

- Would love to, but I'm meeting Mike down in the gym.

He want's us to be pumped for tomorrow.

We've still got a bet to win, remember?

(upbeat pop)

- Okay guys, they'll call you up soon.

You'll be surfing against three couples from other clubs

just keep in mind, you have minutes

to catch the best six waves.

That's three to the guys, three to the girls.

- No worries.

- Remember, this is for fun.

So enjoy yourselves.

- Not a chance.

We're out here to win.

- You bet, fair enough.

Just don't k*ll each other in the process, alright?

- So are you sure you know how it works?

- Yeah.

- When you ride a wave you want scored,

you put your hand up in the air to let the judges know.

- And then you go like crazy and tag your partner

on the beach.

- Simple.

- It sounds easy,

but there's a lot more to it than you think.

It's about time management, working as a team.

One small mistake and you can scrub totally.

- Don't listen to him.

He's trying to put you off.

- Is it working?

Don't stay out there too long.

You'll be squeezed for time.

- [Brooke] Oh that's good.

Mike couldn't possibly do that for himself.

- How you feeling?

Ready to take on the world?

Brooke?

- Sorry, did you say something?

- Okay, I've done some calculations.

There's about seconds between the swells

and the waves coming in sets of three.

The second wave is the one to go for.

The first one will be too full.

The second wave will be a lot more hollow.

- [Brooke] What's she whispering to him?

- I really like you Mike.

- First wave out just grab any

half-decent wave and catch it in.

Then you can spend more time on your second wave.

Got it?

- Got it.

Corey, I really, really want to win this.

- I with you.

Two weeks off housework?

Sounds good.

- [Announcer] Contestants, take your positions.

- Hey, I bought you some rubber gloves by the way.

- What?

- For when you do the dishes.

- Dream on.

- You'll need 'em both.

Watch me and wait.

- Go Cory! - Go Mike! C'mon Mike!

- C'mon Eric.

- You can do it!

(happy pop)

C'mon Mike!

- Good job, Corey.

- Go Eric, that's it!

Yes!

- They made good time.

- Getting worried?

- I knew.

- Hey, you're supposed to tag on the shore,

not in the water.

- I'm not that far in.

It's hardly cheating.

- Rules are rules Rachel.

- Running scared are we?

- Go Rach.

- Nice ride.

- Thanks.

- C'mon Cory.

Finally.

- All yours.

- Well done, mate.

- Brookes really down for it.

You wouldn't think it's just for fun.

- It's not.

There's a house bet going.

Winner gets to blunch for two weeks.

- Right.

(cheers)

- Great surf guys.

- Who's winning?

- Too close to call.

(upbeat guitar)

- C'mon, Corey, move it.

- It's up to you now, partner.

- That's a way!

Yeah!

Yes, guess who's winning boys?

- Not for long.

Brooke and Rachel can both still nail you.

- No way mate, the clocks against them.

- Eh, garbage.

(horn sounds)

- One minute to go.

- C'mon Rach!

- Brooke or Rachel?

Good ride from either of them, it's their win.

- They'll both have to go for it.

There's no time left.

- C'mon, c'mon, c'mon Rachel.

You can do it.

- C'mon Brooke.

Any wave, just do it.

- I don't believe it.

Brooke dropped in on Rachel.

- Sure looks like it.

- Which makes us the winners.

I'm sorry boys.

I guess the best team won, aye.

- I don't get it.

How could they stop upsurf battling?

- What was that about?

- What was what?

- You dropped in on me.

- Excuse me, it was an open wave.

You knew I was going for it.

- I was there first and you hassled me out of the way.

- Don't like it when it happens to you?

Do you?

- What are you talking about? - Brooke.

- You know exactly what I mean.

- What?

- Brooke.

What's going on?

What happened out there?

- Forget it.

- Okay, I guess she's not that happy about doing the dishes.

- I'll go talk to her.

- Wait.

This is between Brooke and me.

- What is?

- I have no idea, but I'm gonna find out.

- Brooke! Brooke.

Alright, we're on our own.

Now do you want to tell me what's really going on?

- As if you don't know?

- I don't, that's why I'm asking.

- It's obvious.

- Not to me.

- You want me to say it?

Fine.

I'll say it.

You and Mike.

- Me and Mike?

- Please, the innocent act doesn't wash with me.

- It's not an act, I am innocent.

I don't know what you're talking about.

- Just forget it.

(somber guitar)

- Mhm, five A.

- Hit.

- Who wants to switch rooms with me?

- We're quite happy with the way things are.

- Please, it's important.

I wouldn't ask if I didn't have to.

- Brooke, are you sure you want to do this?

Is this about what happened in the surf today?

- It's not about that.

- So what is it about then?

- Rachel and I,

we just can't share anymore.

- Why not?

- It's personal.

- Might help to talk about it.

- I can't.

- Please.

- I'll toss you for it.

- It's okay.

I'll swap.

- Thank you.

- Boys, looks like the girls are swapping roommates.

- Just because Brooke dropped in?

- Well, unless there's something else to it.

- What's going on Mike?

- I'm just as confused as you guys.

- Well, it must be pretty serious

if they're swapping rooms over it.

- Where are you going?

- Brooke's not like this.

Somethings wrong.

- I hope they sort it out.

Otherwise the rest of the year is looking pretty unfunny.

(light upbeat strings)

- Want a hand?

- No I'm fine.

- Brooke?

- Look, I said I'm fine okay?

I don't need your help.

- What were you thinking?

- I don't wanna talk about it.

- Just be very sure about what you're doing, okay?

'Cause once you go through with this,

there will be no turning back.

- Hey.

What's going on with Brooke?

Did you talk to her?

- I did, but it doesn't make any sense.

I think she thinks,

you and I are --

- You and me?

- I said it didn't make sense.

- Why does she think that?

Because of the stupid comp?

- I don't know.

But it's not fair.

We haven't done anything.

Besides, what sort of a friend would that make me?

- [Mike] Hey.

- Hey.

- You know there was never anything going on

between me and Rachel.

- I know.

I thought that this was what I wanted.

I thought that if we broke up.

I'd be able to concentrate on being here.

You know, making the most of it.

- Is it working?

- No.

It's a complete disaster.

Instead of thinking about surfing and school,

all I think about is you.

- Really?

- Yes. More than ever before.

It's driving me insane.

I don't know what to do.

- Then how about we get back together again?

Why not?

- Because of all the reasons we said before.

- Remind me.

I forget easily.

- What if I wanted to spend more time training

than hanging out with you?

- Then you'd say, Mike,

I want to spend more time training,

- What if I needed to do a school assignment

and I couldn't go out on the weekend?

- Then I'd leave you alone to do it.

- You wouldn't be annoyed?

- Believe it or not, I have school work too, you know.

- You make it sound so simple.

- It is.

We just have to be honest with each other.

No more games.

- You really think it can work?

- I always have.

I just needed you to see it too.

- Rach.

- Amy, what are you doing?

- Moving my stuff in.

- Oh, yeah, right.

- Is there a problem?

- The problem is, I've been acting like a three year old

you and everyone else here have had to wear it.

I'm really sorry.

- Apology accepted.

- Thanks.

And uh, you don't have to move any more.

- So, now, you want me to pack up all my stuff,

and move it back into my old room,

which I didn't want to move out of in the first place?

- That about covers it.

- Cool.

- Except I'll do all the packing and moving for you.

- It's okay.

- No, it's not.

It's the least I could do after stopping you around.

- Brooke, forget it.

It's good to have things back to normal.

- Actually, they're not quite there yet.

Have you seen Rachel?

Funny isn't it?

How things can get really, really mixed up some times.

- I don't think it's funny Brooke.

You accused me of stealing Mike from you.

- I'm so sorry Rach, I don't know what came over me.

It's like I was obsessed.

The green-eyed monster got a hold of me

and I couldn't think straight.

- There was nothing to be jealous of.

- I know that now.

- You got it so wrong.

- I know that too.

I'm sorry.

Friends?

Please.

Please.

- You owe me for this.

- Big time, forever and ever and ever.

- Okay, enough, it's getting embarrassing.

Anyway, I think you should know.

I think Mike's really boring.

All he ever talks about is you.

- Yeah, he is boring, isn't he?

- Well, I'm glad you all agree the best team won.

- By default.

- We'll take it any way it comes.

- And as current champions,

we'd like to express our sincerest regrets

that we will not able to help with the cooking,

or doing the dishes.

- Or anything else, for the next two weeks.

- No problem.

Tonight, we're ordering in pizza.

- No need for plates, you can eat it with your hands.

- But what happens tomorrow morning

when we want a bowl of cereal?

- I'll think of something.

- Maybe we can eat it straight from the box.

- Now you're thinking.

- [Brooke] So, here I am.

Schools good, surfs great.

And my boyfriend's --

- Coming?

- Do you ever talk to yourself?

- Who doesn't?

- [Brooke] Perfect.
