It's a beautiful morning, but still there are people who make it ugly by making trouble.

"You shouldn't be here. You're a menace. Your mooring line broke because it's breakthrough."

Zane is shouting at an old lady who scratched his jet ski with her boat, unintentionally of course.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know."

"Wake up lady, get with it."

Emma interferes before things get more ugly.

"Zane, don't be rude. Give her the chance to speak."

"This old bag's boat broke free and hit mine. It put a scratch on my jet ski. Look."

"I said I'm sorry."

"She said she's sorry."

"That's not going to pay for the damage, is it? I bet she doesn't even have insurance. This boat shouldn't even be here. It's an embarrassment."

"Zane. You're overreacting, even for you."

"Am I? We'll see what the harbour master thinks."

With that he leaves Emma and the old lady alone.

"Don't worry, he is all talk."

"Thank you Emma." Emma looks confused when the lady says her name. "Come aboard."

-h2o-

Zane storms off furiously and without noticing he bumps into Rikki.

"Sorry, I have to go."

"Hey wait up, what's wrong?"

"Like you care."

"I wouldn't ask if I wouldn't care."

Zane stops and looks at her.

"Someone at the docks has scratched my jet ski with her boat."

"So?"

"She doesn't want to pay."

"Have you talked to the harbour master?"

"I threatened with it, but you think I should really do it?"

"What else are they for?"

"Thanks Rikki."

"You're welcome. Just one question. How does it come we always run into each other when we have problems and the other one always comes up with a solution."

"I don't know, guess we are soul mates."

He says laughing, while running back to the harbour. Rikki stays behind in thought.

-h2o-

Inside the cabin, the lady gives Emma something to drink.

"Thank you. You're her."

"That's perceptive."

"The lady Cleo always talks about."

"It's nice to be talked about."

"She never told me you lived on a boat."

"I didn't tell her I was a Capricorn either, but that's another tail." She puts an emphasis on the word tail, making it sound like tale. She smiles, while Emma looks away. "Oh, I'm sorry, I made you uncomfortable. I'm not a very good host. I didn't have any one else on board of the Lorelai for 23 years."

Their conversation is interrupted when the harbour master, followed by Zane, calls out to her.

"Oh, Mr Hendricks. Would you care for some ice tea?"

"You know why I'm here Ms Chatham. Another complaint has been received."

"People seem to complain so much this days."

"A regularity which is hard to ignore when they concern you."

"I'll take that as a compliment, you care about me, lovely."

She makes a movement to go back inside, but Zane makes her look back around.

"Are you gonna evict her or what?"

"Leave this to me. Ms Chatham, we've spoken on many occasions, the last occasions I reminded you off unpaid harbouring fees that go back five years."

"I don't recall that."

"Before that, you've been served with several requests to maintain your vessel according to regulations."

"I really must open those letters. I've been meaning to read them."

Zane interrupts once again.

"You're getting evicted lady, you're gone."

"Do you mind I'm handling this."

"Well hurry it up."

Emma decides to come to the rescue.

"Why are you doing this?"

"We've been really patient with Ms Chatham over the years, but that time has come to an end."

"You can't throw her out."

Suddenly they hear a noise and when they look around they see Ms Chatham lying on the floor.

-h2o-

Emma escorts Ms Chatham to the ambulance.

"You'll be alright. Do you want me to come to the hospital with you?"

"They want my treasure."

"Just try to rest."

"Don't let them get my treasure."

Emma stops before Zane, who is looking really guilty.

"I didn't mean to give the old beady an heart attack."

"Maybe you should tell her that."

-h2o-

Somewhere on the other side of the city, a woman and a man in wedding clothes are running from the police. The man is hurt, as there is a blood stain on his jacket.

"Oh no, Frankie they are catching up."

"Behind the container."

They sit themselves down behind it.

"Let me look." She undoes his shirt. It reveals a huge wound caused by a bullet. "It doesn't look pretty, I don't think you are going to make it."

"Don't worry, we'll find other bodies."

"Frankie, you told me that this was going to be the last time."

"Sorry Lulu, but we have to go. This body isn't holding much longer."

"Alright than."

Suddenly two shadows come out of the two bodies and float of. The woman stares down at the man in her arms.

"Who are you? Oh my god you're hurt. Help, somebody help."

-h2o-

The girls and Lewis come together at Cleo's place.

"The ambulance guy said it could have been more serious. She stopped taking her medication."

"Poor lady."

"Her name is Ms Chatham."

"Is she that real old lady that lives on her boat?"

"Yeah that's her. How do you know her?"

"No, I don't, I just heard about her. She lives on that leaky old wreck. No friends, no family, all alone."

"She is the one who seems to know all about the full moon and our powers and our tales."

"Some say she is a witch."

"And if they said she was an Easter bunny, would you believe that?"

"There was a time that I didn't believe in mermaids either."

Suddenly they are interrupted by an knock on the door. Cleo goes to open it and finds Byron.

"Hey is Emma here?"

"Sure, I call her."

-h2o-

Emma comes down the stairs and sits down besides Byron, she gives him a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey."

"Long time, no see."

"You could say that, that's why I'm here. I first went to your place, but they said you were here."

"What is wrong?"

"Nothing is, I just wanted to see my girlfriend, is that wrong?"

"Off course not."

"So are you ready for our date later this evening?"

"Oh sorry, but something has come up."

"Alright than, how about a date tomorrow morning, watching the sun go up?"

"Sure, love it."

-h2o-

Rikki is walking along with Cleo.

"Cleo, do you believe in soul mates?"

"I don't know, why?"

"Someone mentioned it to me and I was just wondering."

"Well actually, now that I think about it, I must say that I do."

"You believe in them."

"Sure, why not if mermaids and demons are real. Wait I just thought of something, why don't you go ahead, I have to get something."

-h2o-

Rikki gets to Emma, but when she arrives she notices ms Chatham.

"Don't stare, it's rude. This is ms Chatham. Ms Chatham this is…"

"You must be Rikki."

"Uh yeah."

"Ms Chatham is our houseguest. The hospital discharged her. She'll be fine if she takes her medication and takes some rest. I thought this would be a good place for that."

"Sorry, I'm late." Cleo comes in, carrying a bag, and notices Ms Chatham.

"Hello, Cleo."

"Oh, hy."

Emma's mom joins them.

"Alright, Ms Chatham if you would like to come with me, I'll show you to the spare room."

"Oh, you're very kind."

The adults leave the girls alone.

"You brought her here?"

"What could I do? The harbour master wants to move her boat from the marina. He said she can't stay there."

"But you brought her here?"

"Just for a while. We'll try to talk to the harbour master, to see if he sees some reason."

"Emma, this old lady knows about us. What if she says something to your mom or dad?"

"She won't. She is smart and I know she is discrete."

"You hope."

"Look Cleo, we're probably worrying about nothing. I mean has she ever actually said to you 'I know you're a mermaid'?"

"Not in those words, exactly. But everything she said about the full moon turned out to be true, didn't it?"

"Well we need to help the innocent, and I think she is one of them."

"Alright than."

-h2o-

Later that morning, Elliot is listening to some stories of Ms Chatham. "My husband and I bought that boat many, many, many years ago. He died, about fifteen years ago."

"You must be like a hundred years old than."

"Not quite." The girls join them too. "Still I couldn't get rid of the Lorelai. We had so many happy memories on her. Oh look Emma's back. She knows a lot about the water."

"Oh I don't think so, I don't swim competitively anymore."

"Right, not competitively. Still the Lorelai has served me well, if I had to start her, I'm sure the motor would start."

"And what if it doesn't?"

"You just have to make the water work for you, right Cleo?"

"What? Oh no, I wouldn't know."

Luckily Cleo is saved by the doorbell. Emma gets up. Ms Chatham takes Cleo's locket in her hand.

"Gracy."

-h2o-

Emma opens the door where Byron is standing with flowers.

"Ready to go?"

"Actually…"

"Don't tell me something came up again."

"Well…"

"It's always the same, whenever we have planned something, something else comes up and whenever we actually succeed in going on a date, you have to leave earlier. I just don't get it. Are you not interested in me anymore?"

"No it's not that, we just have company, so I can't leave. But tonight, no excuses, alright?"

"Sure, whatever, tonight is fine."

"Alright, see you than."

Emma wants to go back in, but Byron stops her and gives her a long kiss. Suddenly two shadows go into their bodies.

"Well Lulu, I'm liking what I see."

"Let's go."

-h2o-

Back inside, Rikki pulls Cleo aside.

"So, what did you get?"

"This, the book of water shadows."

"Wow, Lewis really did his work, with drawings and everything."

"Actually, that's my doing. Lewis is more of a computer guy, so I kept the book up to date."

"Great, so why did you get it?"

"Well, you asked me about soul mates and I remembered something."

Cleo opens the book on the page of past lives. She sees a drawing of herself, Cleo and Emma in twenties outfit.

"Cleo, this drawings are pretty good."

"You think?"

"Yeah, you really should train your talent more, you could become really, really good."

"Thanks Rikki. Alright, back to business. Here read this part, that's about soul mates."

Rikki starts reading aloud.

"Soul mates are souls that recognize other souls from previous lives. This is more common than people think because we all tend to travel in the same circle of family, friends, even enemies throughout our various lives. Hey Cleo, you said you recognised me and Emma, did you happen to recognize more souls?"

"No, I only saw Amelia and Erica, that's you and Emma."

"You don't remember anything else?"

"Wait." Cleo turns the page to show a list. "I made a list so I wouldn't forget. Let's see. First we have Cloey, Amelia and Erica, that's us three. Than Louis, I guess that was Lewis. Jacob, that was Amelia's boyfriend. I have no idea, who he is. And than Zayne, yours, I mean Erica's boyfriend. Hey Zayne, you don't think that is our Zane, do you?"

"Don't be ridiculous, like I would ever fall for Zane."

"I didn't say that you would fall for him, I was just saying that…"

"Never mind, hey where is Emma?"

"Let's ask ms Gilbert."

-h2o-

"Ms Gilbert, do you know where Emma is?"

"No idea, Byron was just here, she must have gone with him."

"But that's not like Emma, leaving Ms Chatham all alone."

Cleo and Rikki look at each other.

-h2o-

Ms Chatham sees them standing.

"Come sit with me. Where is dear Emma?"

"She is occupied."

"Oh well, I know you girls can handle it. You do trust each other, right?"

"Off course."

"Good, because friendship that is the most important thing. I appreciate what you are trying to do for me. But the burden you carry is to great to carry alone."

"Wait what burden?... Oh, that one."

"When you are different it helps if you have friends that understand. I had friends. This was long ago, we were younger. I wasn't always this old. Or maybe I was."

"When you say burden, what do you mean?"

"It got too great for me, I had to give it up."

"You can do that?"

"It's getting late. I think we should all go to bed."

"But is was just starting to get interesting."

"Good night, girls."

"See you tomorrow, ms Chatham. Hey, Emma still isn't back."

"Do you think Emma's parents would mind if would watch some TV?"

"I guess not."

Rikki turns on the TV where two robot photos are shown that look a lot like Emma and Byron.

"A robbery have been made by this duo, but they only took two rings from the store. The only thing we know so far about this two criminals are their names: Frankie and Lulu. Already a couple of stores have been stolen by different couples that claim to be Frankie and Lulu. This couples are all arrested wearing wedding clothes. They also suffer from amnesia directly after the arrest. According to police reports, they are part of a big group. They are considered dangerous. So if anyone has any information concerning this two people please call… "

"Oh no, what happened?"

"I don't know, let's find out."

"But where could they be?"

"I don't know, a wedding store maybe?"

"Why would you say that?"

"Well when I was doing research for the book, I came across an old book that handled ghosts. Ghosts come back to earth when they have unfinished business. Sometimes they posses people to get what they want. I think all of this people were possessed by the same ghosts: Frankie and Lulu."

"And their unfinished business is getting married?"

"Yeah, it is even possible they were good people."

"Well let's go the store."

"Rikki, it's too late for that, we'll have to wait till morning."

-h2o-

The next morning, Rikki and Cleo go back to Emma's house. Elliot opens the door.

"Hey Rikki, it's always a pleasure to see you."

"Hey, do you know if Emma is home?"

"Yes, I mean no, she is not home. But that old lady is also gone, I guess she went with her."

Rikki and Cleo turn away.

"You can come by anytime, Rikki."

-h2o-

"What do we do now?"

"Well we've got to help both."

"Ms Chatham is probably at the marina, why don't you go there and I'll go to the store. If you're early done, call me because I could probably use your help."

"Why do you get to do the cool stuff?"

"Because I know more about ghosts and by the way every innocent in need is interesting, Rikki."

"Yeah yeah, see you later."

-h2o-

Rikki goes to the marina where she doesn't find the Lorelai. Zane also runs into the marina as he has seen Rikki enter.

"Hey Rikki care for a ride on my… what is this?" Rikki looks over and sees a destroyed jet ski. "That old bat did this."

"Zane, you don't know that."

"Yes I do."

"Alright, if that's how she wants to play it. She doesn't know who she is messing with."

He goes over to his zodiac and gets in. "Zane." Rikki also gets in. "Well I don't want you to do anything stupid."

-h2o-

Cleo gets at the store, but by the looks of things, they already been robbed. She goes over to the nearby telephone booth. She takes the telephone book and searches churches.

"Wait, are there 23 churches in our area?"

-h2o-

Zane quickly gains in on ms Chatham, whose boat has broke down. When they are next to each other he enters the Lorelai, followed by Rikki.

"You stay away from me."

She tries to start her boat again.

"Forget it lady, don't even try it. Don't get exited. I want compensation."

"Zane, leave her alone."

"She wrecked my jet ski. I want money."

"I don't have any money."

"Don't lie to me, you've got treasure here somewhere."

"You can't have that."

"Can't I? Just watch me."

"Zane, stop, you're making her upset."

Suddenly she gasps for air, looking hurt.

"I didn't do anything, it wasn't my fault."

"I know, but she is having another heart attack, Zane there has got to be some pills down there. Go and have a look."

"Do you find anything? Come on Zane, she needs to get off the boat, she needs an hospital."

"Got it."

They get her in the zodiac and Zane starts it.

"Thanks Zane. Come on Zane, get in."

"She'll be alright. I'm staying."

"Zane, if you touch any of her things…"

"I'll catch up."

"Zane…"

"Rikki, this isn't the time to argue. Go."

Rikki gets in the boat and she soon gets to the marina, where help is waiting. She quickly turns the zodiac back around, but finds the Lorelai sinking, with Zane still in it. Without even thinking, she dives in to save him. When she gets there, the Lorelai has already sunk to the bottom and Zane is getting unconscious. Because she can't open the door in the normal way, she uses her tail. But in the process, Zane sees her tail before completely blacking out. She gets him out and takes him to Mako Island.

-h2o-

She puts him on the sand. "Oh please, don't be dead." She feels his pulse. "Thank god."

She gets back in the water to get the Zodiac. When she is back, she dries herself and Zane off, using her powers. But he still doesn't wake up.

"Zane, come on wake up. I don't want to lose you. I know I don't show it all the time, but I really like you, I do."

"Maybe you should try mouth-to-mouth-breathing."

"Oh thank god." She hugs him. "I thought you were never waking up." In a moment of passion, she kisses him.

-h2o-

Cleo is doing her fourth church already when she finally reaches Rikki.

"Where were you?"

"Helping ms Chatham."

"Well you've got to come down here, because Emma and Byron are about to get married."

-h2o-

Cleo is waiting outside when Rikki arrives.

"Well what's the plan?"

"I don't know."

"But you said you knew all this stuff about ghosts."

"Well I know we should try to help them, because vanquishing them isn't the best way to go when they are inside Byron and Emma."

"Well maybe we should give them other bodies than."

"Oh yeah, any ideas who wants to be possessed?"

"No, there own bodies. We made a spell to vanquish the electric demon, maybe we can make one to give them their bodies. Only temporarily and when they finally get married, they finish their business and can move on."

"Alright, but if I remember correctly you made the spell last time, so I think you are the one who should do it again."

"Alright, if you insist. Give me some paper and a pen."

A couple of minutes later Rikki is finished.

"Alright, what do you think of this."

She gives the paper to Cleo.

"This is actually pretty good."

"Thanks."

"This is great, I could become the bookkeeper and you the spellmaker. But what should Emma do?" "Let's first save her. Well let's see if the spell works. I think we should say it together, I mean we are more powerful together."

"Fine be me."

-h2o-

Rikki and Cleo enter the church when the marriage is about to begin.

"We would like to talk to the couple for a minute please, in private before they wed."

The priest leaves them.

"What do you think you are doing, little girl?"

"I guess you don't know who you are messing with."

"That makes two of us. Now Cleo, together."

"Frankie and Lulu, we call to thee.Those who wish to set you free.We ask that you commune with us so we may help. Move among us. Reveal yourself."

The shadows leave Emma and Byron's body and form a body of their own.

"What did you do?"

"We gave you your own bodies, so you can get married without anyone else's help."

"Thank you."

The ceremony continues and Frankie and Lulu are finally married. Right after the kiss, their souls disappears into the sky and their bodies disappear too.

-h2o-

The girls get back to Emma's house.

"So what did you tell Byron?"

"That we went on a date, had a little too much to drink and that you guys stopped us in time to save us from getting married."

"And he believes that?"

"I guess so."

They see ms Chatham sitting on the couch.

"Hey guys, I have to talk to her for a minute."

Rikki goes over and sits down next to ms Chatham.

"I've got something for you."

She hands her a box, where the same locket as Cleo has, lies in.

"My treasure. You found it."

"It wasn't easy. It's pretty dark down there by now. Sorry about the Lorelai."

She opens the locket, and shows an old picture of three mermaids.

"It was 1955. I'm the one on the left. And Julia and Gracy."

"Where are they now?"

"Gone. Thank you, this means more to me than anything."
