03x23 - Beach Party

[bunniefuu]

THEME SONG: 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.

[bell ringing]

RIKKI [OFFSCREEN]: So, are we
going to go to this party

tomorrow?

-Of course we are.

It's the end of school.

It could be the last time our
whole year gets together.

-Why does it have
to be a formal?

-I know.

None of us have really ever been
into that sort of thing.

-That's exactly what I told
the student council.

-And?

-They agreed.

So instead of a formal,
it's a beach party.

-Wicked.

-So you have no excuses
for not going.

-I always wanted to go.

Just not in a tie.

-OK.

Well, now it's officially
beach chic.

-Ooh, I don't know if
I have any of that.

-Are you kidding?

Your entire wardrobe's that.

-Yeah, we've survived year 12.

I think we deserve to party.

-So, what time do
I pick you up?

For the big beach party.

You're going to let me
take you, aren't you?

-Why on earth would I do that?

-I want us to be friends.

-Yeah, right.

-Well, we were together
for most of your

last years of school.

So I think there's something
right about us being

together for this.

-I don't.

-You can't go by yourself.

-Who says I am?

-What, you're going
with someone?

-It's actually none
of your business.

-Seriously, who is it?

No, seriously, it's none
of your business.

-I thought you were going to
help me with these accounts.

-Rikki's taking a
date to a party.

And I bet it's your brother.

-Good.

-No, it's not.

-What do you think
about Zane's as a

name for this place?

It works.

-So does Rikki's.

-She's moving on.

That's what going
on a date means.

-Maybe she's just going with
him to make me jealous.

-And if you're wrong?

-No.

I know Rikki.

She'll make me chase after
her for a while.

And then she'll give
in and go with me.

-I can't believe you haven't
asked Will already.

-I've been really busy
being the organizer.

Plus, I'll be singing
half the time.

It's not really fair to ask
a guy to go with me.

-Bella, this is me that
you're talking to.

-What if he says no?

-Oh, as if.

-So I should ask him?

-Hello.

Have the two of you had
the hots for each

other like a year?

Just ask him already.

WILL [OFFSCREEN]:
Zane's an idiot.

He should know by now that you
just want to be left alone.

You want me to handle it?

-No, it's all right.

I don't need you to
fix this for me.

-Well, if it's just about being
friends, he shouldn't be

asking you to the party.

-I know.

But enough about me.

What are you doing
for the party?

-There's this girl that
I'd like to ask.

But we're just friends,
so I can't.

-This girl?

Come on, Will.

Just ask Bella to the party.

-But she's a friend, and
it gets complicated.

What if she says no?

-Ask her and find out.

-That's the problem.

I'm no good at that stuff.

-Like anyone is.

So?

-So--

-Why are you looking
at me like that?

-I was hoping you
could help me.

It's kind of a girl thing.

-You're sounding really weird.

-Please.

You're one of the guys.

I can tell you stuff I can't
tell other people.

And I don't want to
mess this up.

-OK.

Well, what is it?

-I need to practice
asking her out.

-All right.

You can never, ever tell
anyone I did this.

OK?

-OK.

-Hi, will.

I'm really looking forward
to the party.

-Yeah, me too.

And I was wondering if you'd
like to go with me.

-You sound really nervous
about asking.

You have to convince me.

How do I know you really care?

WILL [OFFSCREEN]: I'm nervous
because I like you so much.

I mean, really like.

I don't want to wreck our
friendship, but I want to be

more than just friends.

So I'd like you to come to the
party with me as, you know,

boyfriend and girlfriend.

RIKKI [OFFSCREEN]: Of
course I'll go.

-Thanks.

[sigh]

-OK.

That was good.

-Yeah.

-I'm going to--

I'm going to leave for a puke.

-Kim, did someone ring
the doorbell?

-No.

-This was addressed to me, and
it was just sitting outside.

-So open it.

-I don't know.

Something just left
like that-- it--

it could be anything.

-Is it ticking?

-[snorts]

-It's a telescope!

Aw, it must be from Lewis.

-It's the world's most
dweebiest present.

So who else?

-Aw.

Lewis says it's not from him.

-Who else would want to send
you something like that?

-Just leaving it on my doorstep

without a note is weird.

And I don't know anyone
that weird.

-Everyone that you
know is weird.

-Nate.

-Call him and find out.

-I don't think I even
want to know.

[keyboard playing]

-Everything OK?

-Yeah, sure.

-Really?

It doesn't look like it to me.

-I don't really want to
talk about it, OK?

-Whatever you say.

-All set for the party?

-Yup.

-About that, as far as going and
everything, I was thinking

of asking someone.

-Yeah.

Me too, actually.

Can you wait one second?

Hey.

The party-- you're
coming with me.

-What?

OK.

Yes!

The Nate-meister
strikes again.

What did I tell you?

-You know what?

I think you should
ask someone too.

-Hey, babes.

We're going to make
some sweet sounds.

[SINGING] It's going to
be OK 'cause today's

going to be our day.

-I never knew she
even liked him.

-I tried to warn you she
wasn't right for you.

-It still feels wrong,
so wrong.

-If you really care
about her, you

should respect her decision.

You need to let go.

You should go to the party
with someone else.

-Yeah, right.

-Seriously.

You know lots of other girls.

-There's no one like her.

-Oh?

What about Rikki?

-She's just a friend.

-Who's still pretty down about
Zane as far as I can see.

I think she'd really like
someone to go with.

-Since when are you
worried about her?

-I'm worried about you.

I think you could really do with
a friend right now, and

so could she.

So why can't the both of you
go to a party together?

Unless you're worried about
making Bella jealous, which

she deserves to be.

-Hey, Babe.

-Babe?

Really?

What are you doing here, Nate?

-I told him how you think he's
your secret admirer?

-You what?

-Hey, chill.

You're not the only chick
with a crush on me.

And there was no need for the
whole crazy telescope story.

If you really wanted to date
the Nate, all you had to do

was ask me to the party
like Bella did.

-Bella didn't ask you
to the party.

-Don't you worry your
pretty little head.

There's plenty of Nate
to go around.

In fact, I've got a couple of
hours free before I have to

pick her up.

Until then, this fine young
thing is all yours.

-Nate, get out.

-What?

-Now.

-Oh, OK.

OK.

I get it.

You're jealous.

That's cool.

I'll let myself out.

-She's going with Nate?

-I guess I missed my chance.

What do you think about
you and me?

-Going together?

-As friends.

We are friends, aren't we?

-Oh, well I mean,
you'll be there.

And I'll be there.

Sure, why not?

-Thanks.

-You OK?

-Yeah.

I'll be all right.

-She's with Will?

I knew it.

-Maybe it's time for
you to move on too.

And the first step is to get
her name off this place.

You should start by taking
the sign down.

-Yeah, maybe.

-Everyone's going to
see her with Will.

You keep her name on your cafe,
how pathetic is that

going to look?

I'll take care of it.

-What happened to asking Will?

-He was already going
with someone else.

-Ah, I'm sorry, Bella.

-It's Rikki.

-Rikki?

No way.

-I heard him ask, and
I heard her accept.

Do you think I'd be going with
Nate if there was any chance

of going with Will?

He just--

he wants to go with her.

And that's all there is to it.

-Well, then I think you should
give her a call,

have a talk with her.

-Oh, no.

I don't want to know
the details.

It's none of my business.

-Well, then I will.

I'll get back to you.

Bye.

WOMAN [ON PHONE]: The phone you
have called is switched

off or unavailable.

-Oh, come on, Rikki.

Turn it on.

[knocking on door]

-What do you want?

-There's someone here
to see you.

-Who?

-Your secret admirer.

-Look, I've told you
once before.

I'm not going--

hi, Ryan.

-Uh, hey.

-Sorry about before.

I didn't think it was you.

-No, it's my fault.

I just thought it'd be
fun, doing the whole

secret admirer thing.

-The telescope.

-Yes.

Sorry, was I being
too mysterious?

-No.

Yes, you were.

-Well, I just thought, you know,
that rocket you'd showed

me had similarities
to moon rocks.

You know, I thought
moon, telescope.

It was just my way of
saying, remember me?

-Who could forget you?

-Uh, look, well, thank you,
Ryan, for he telescope.

But, um, if you're here
about the rock--

-Oh, no, no, no.

I just, you know, felt I haven't
seen you in a while.

And I would like to do
some more tests.

So Sam tells me you're having
an end of year party today?

Who's the lucky guy?

-Uh, no one.

My boyfriend, Lewis-- he's, um,
overseas at the moment.

-Ah, that's a shame.

-Yeah.

I'm OK with it now.

-Lewis is a very lucky guy.

-Thank you, Ryan.

See you.

-OK.

-Lewis.

Lewis.

-Lewis.

-You're just sad.

-How's it going?

-Busy.

See, I told you.

-There they are.

It can't be how it looks.

Come on.

-No.

-Come on, let's start.

-Bella and Nate.

-You and Will.

-We're only here together
because we're friends.

We have no one else
to go with.

-Bella wanted to go
with Will, Rikki.

-She decided to go with Nate
before he even had the chance

to ask her.

-No, she didn't.

She overheard him asking
you first.

[music playing]

-[SINGING] Pretty baby, don't
you feel so right now?

Pretty baby--

-Oh, no, no, no, no.

He was practicing
how to ask her.

-What?

-[SINGING] Now we're
living 'cause it's

school's out, baby.

Come on, baby--

-But he-- he still came
with you anyway.

-You think he may have meant
it seriously, him and me?

No way.

-[SINGING] Don't go looking
for another kind of honey.

Don't go looking.

Now you're here with me.

-There's no possibility that
he's interested in you at all?

BELLA [OFFSCREEN]: [SINGING] If
you're looking for an extra

kind of reason.

-Hey, Cleo.

Uh, Rikki, do you
want to dance?

-I thought you didn't
like dancing.

-It depends on who it's with.

Come on.

-[SINGING] You know
I feel so special.

Every time you look.

Every time you look.

Every time you look, you
know I feel so special.

-You're a really great guy.

-And you're a great girl.

-[SINGING] Pretty baby, don't
you feel so right now?

-What I need right now is,
um, well, a friend.

-Yeah, me too.

That's why I'm so glad you
could come with me today.

-You don't have a crush on
me or anything, do you?

-You?

No.

Why?

-I think there's been a little
misunderstanding.

-What are you doing?

What?

-[SINGING] Now we're living
'cause it's schools out,

honey.

-With Rikki.

-[SINGING] Pretty baby, don't
you feel so right now?

-So much for nothing
going on then.

-Nothing is going on, not that
it's any of your business

anyway.

-Well, I'm making
it my business.

-Back off, both of you.

-What are you on about?

-You and Rikki.

-What?

-You've been after her
the whole time.

-No, I haven't.

I've been after her.

-Me?

-Yeah.

-No way, Will.

Bella came with me.

Hey, what are you doing?

-Bella.

-Looks like I'm free
after all.

-Could you have made a bigger
fool out of yourself?

-Bella!

Bella!

-Here.

-Bella.

-Wait, no, no, no.

Just wait.

-I nearly blew it with you
because I waited too long.

I am never doing that again.

-There's nothing going on
between you and Rikki?

-No.

You're the one I want
to be with.

You always were.

-And you're the one
I want to be with.

-Good timing.

They've just finished.

Wait till you see the new
sign I've ordered.

-What happened with Will?

-What?

-Well, it's just that you
said he and Rikki

were seeing each other.

How come he ended
up with Bella?

-No, that's history.

-Really?

Because he seemed pretty
interested

in her at the party.

-You went?

-Yeah, I did.

-[sigh]

I guess I must have
got it wrong.

-Well, it's not the only
thing you got wrong.

The name of this place
is Rikki's.

-OK.

So maybe she's not with Will.

But she's definitely moved on.

-Well, this cafe hasn't.

-Well, what's that going
to say to people?

-That I own a cafe
called Rikki's.

The sign goes back up now.

-Put it back up.

-So it's actually official?

You two are together?

-We're together.

-Now, is this you and Will
or you and Nate?

-I'm sorry.

I should have spoken
to you sooner.

-The important thing is
to never let a guy

come between us again.

-Never.

-From now on, it's just
the three of us.

-So what are we going
to do today?

-The three of us.

-Uh, well, I kind of told
Will I'd see him.

-Oh.

Well, I guess, you'll just
have to do that then.

-Go on.

We'll be fine.

-You are too easy to fool.

[laughing]

-Go on, have fun.

-Just for that, I will.

-Hey, just remember one thing.

I feel really jealous.

[laughing]

THEME SONG: We've got to stick
together 'cause the best

things come in threes.

I want it to last forever, all
the magic and fun at sea.

So come on, this is
our adventure.

There's no telling
where we'll go.

But all I want is just to
live amongst the H2O!

'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.

Come along, it just
gets better.

So much to do and just so little
time 'cause it all

depends on whether you want to
leave the land above behind.

'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.
