it's not my best work, but I find the moon episodes always difficult because everything happens in a couple of hours. Still hope you enjoy it. I also made a little adjustment at the end. I think Zane should have stayed longer at the hospital because I had a friend who had the same thing and she stayed in for two days.

Evil moon rising

"That's it. Tonight's a full moon."

"This is making me nervous."

"It will be fine, you two just need to control yourselves a little bit better this time."

"You're not immune to it Rikki."

"I'm pretty sure I can resist the big bad moon. Even if you can't."

"I'm sure we can all resist the big bad moon. We just got to be prepared."

"Prepared? Do I smell another Emma plan coming? All we have to do is avoid the moonlight and water."

The bell rings and Cleo gets up to answer it.

"Still I would feel better if we could track down Ms Chatham. She seems to know how to deal with the moonstuff."

"If she is not talking in tongues."

Cleo comes back in followed by Zane.

"Is your dad home, I need a word?"

Cleo's dad enters the kitchen.

"You're the only one I could ask. You know this waters like the back of your hand."

"So this happened when the boat went down?"

"Something saved me. Something weird."

"You know sometimes when we get trough stressful situations we can get messed up in the head."

"No that was not it, this was real and big."

"Like a dolphin?"

"No it wasn't a dolphin." Zane shows Don the drawing of the tail. "The skin was orange and shimmery. It was strong and powerful but also…" Zane sits down. "sort of elegant."

"So… did you touch it?"

"No but if I had it would have been tough and strong and smooth and really strong."

"You have been without oxygen for a few minutes. You could have been seeing things, hallucinating."

"I wasn't seeing things."

"Zane, without proof…"

"So you don't believe me? Okay I'll prove it to you, but I need to borrow some of your equipment."

Rikki and Cleo are at Emma's making everything ready for the night.

"So where is the rest of the Brady bunch?"

"Mum and dad are taking Elliot camping."

"How did you convince them to let you alone?"

"They trust me."

"Off course."

"So Cleo did you talk to Ms Chatham?"

"No. I couldn't find her. This is a bad sign, a very bad sign. I know bad signs and this is one of them."

"Maybe. So we are on our own."

"Not quite."

"Lewis, what are you doing here?"

"Isn't that obvious. You guys want to risk it here, I'm moon proving the house."

"Lewis, I don't…"

"Just stop. Don't go all independent female on me. I spent 40 dollars at the hardware store… it's okay, you can thank me later."

With help from Nate, Zane succeeds in bringing the door from the Lorelai to the surface. It's obvious that something hard broke it. Their arrival brings a lot of people out of the juice net café. "Like I said, no dolphin could do this. This is the door from the Lorelai wreck and as you can see it is bashed in by something, something weird. There is a reward if anyone can tell me what did this… anyone?" No reactions.

Emma's house is no completely moon proved.

"There, that's everything."

"See. I should have been a tradesman. We can all sleep easy now."

"We?"

"I'm up for a girls night in. Snacks anyone?"

"Forget it Lewis. You can't stay. I promised my parents no boys."

"So this is the thanks I get? I got to say it hurts, it hurts right here."

He bangs his chest and leaves. While Cleo and Emma show Lewis the door, Rikki sits down and looks trough the books Lewis brought with him. Lewis gives Cleo one last kiss and opens the door. Rikki stops looking trough the book when she sees the moon reflection in her glass. Emma sees her staring and touches her shoulder, making Rikki jump up and cut her finger on the paper of the book. A few drops of her blood fall on the book on a pentagram.

"Rikki is everything alright?"

"Yeah sure. I just cut my finger."

"I will get you a bandage."

"I will get it myself."

Rikki gets back in the living room and notices that everyone is sweating, she looks at her glass of water where the reflection of the moon was shown in. "Do you have any ice-cream?" She opens the fridge but only sees tofu. She puts her hand in the fridge to look deeper and she accidently melts some ice. Emma notices that Rikki stopped.

"Rikki? Did you find any ice-cream?"

"No. And there is moisture in this fridge."

"It's okay Rikki."

"No it's not. We sealed of all the ventilation and it's getting really hot in here."

"I'm not feeling hot."

"Neither am I."

"Are you sure you're alright Rikki?"

"Yeah, I just got to go to the toilet."

Zane is back with Don and they are looking at a map.

"This chart covers the whole coastline."

Zane marks a point.

"Ms Chatham's boat sunk there."

"A funny thing. Not far from there a yacht disappeared in 1974. It was never seen again."

"What else can you remember?"

"Some of the older fishermen say there was a war pool in the 1940's over there."

Emma is sitting herself down on the couch when she suddenly hears someone falling. She gets back up and sees Cleo in mermaid form on the ground.

"Cleo, did you touch water?"

"No, I suddenly changed, I don't know how it happened. One minute I was eating some popcorn and the next second I'm lying here on the floor in mermaid form."

"Did you look at the moon?"

"Not that I remember. I knew something bad was going to happen, I told you so."

"It's not the time for that Cleo. I'm going to get Rikki, you stay here."

"Like I have a choice."

Emma turns around the corner when Rikki comes in through another door.

"Emma, she is in here."

"I can't stand this heat. Can't you feel it?"

"No I can't, there has got to be a reason for this. You don't think the moon…"

"No, we're sealed in so it can't get us. What happened to you?"

"I don't know, I'm a mermaid without touching water and I can't turn back."

Emma is upstairs when she smells a rotten smell coming out of the bathroom. She opens the door carefully and sees that the tap is running. "Rikki!" She walks over to the bath and closes the tap. But then she hears something behind her. She turns around carefully and there is a corpse standing there holding a knife. Emma turns around and runs to the window.

Lewis is walking up to the house, he stops in front of a solid wall. "Where is the door?" He knocks on the wall. "Hey! Hello!" He walks back out to the street to get a better look. He hears a scream coming from the house and looks up to see Emma banging against one of the upper story windows. The stones surrounding the window suddenly expand to cover it up. "Oh no." He starts running.

Emma turns back around when the lights go on from themselves. The corpse is gone. She hurries back downstairs. Before she turns the corner, she walks into a spider web.

"Oh there you are? You look awful, what happened?"

"Nothing, I just had a scary dream and now I'm covered in web."

"That's not the only thing you are covered in.

Cleo looks back at Emma and notices a tarantula on her shoulder. Emma sees what Rikki is looking at. "Uh, get it off!" Rikki brushes at it and checks her over.

"Relax, it is gone."

"Are you sure it's off?"

"Yeah."

Cleo tries to move forward but stops when she sees a red spot on the carpet. "What is this?" Cleo looks at the stain on her fingers. She smells her fingers and gets as quick as possible away from the stain. "Blood."

"What's going on in here?"

"Shh! Do you hear something? Like a squeaking noise?"

"I hear it, too. Something like..."

They all slowly look up at the ceiling. It's covered with bats. All of them scream and cover their heads as the bats suddenly drop down and fly off down the hall. Rikki walks over and picks up a bat that is laying on the floor.

"No, Rikki, don't it might be..."

"Rubber. It's made of rubber."

Emma looks around.

"What the hell is going on here?"

"It looks like we ended up in a living horror house, Cleo you're tail is gone."

Cleo looks down and notices that she is human again. Suddenly they hear a rumbling voice.

"Release me!"

They walk back into the entrance room.

"Where is the stairs?"

"Where is the door?"

"Hey, I have a neat idea: lets get out of here!"

Rikki stops Cleo by taking her arm.

"What about the full moon?"

"I'm serious, Rikki. We don't know what we're dealing with."

Emma hears something.

"My turn. Does anyone hear that?"

"As soon as we start dealing with it I'll know what it is we're dealing with. Do you hear something?"

"Like I said. Sounds like a hissing."

"It's like a 'ssss' noise?"

"I thought the word hissing kind of covered that nicely."

Rikki looks back over her shoulder.

"Emma?"

"Funny how you still haven't lost your sense of inappropriate humour."

Cleo also turns around looking right through her.

"Emma, where did you go?"

"Cleo, knock it off. Skit's over. I'm right here."

"This is so typical of her!"

"Typical?"

Rikki and Cleo leave Emma alone who figured out that she is invisible to the others.

"Rikki, something is happening."

Rikki turns back to Cleo. "Something good?" She sees that she is turning into water. "Oh, no, not good."

"I'm changing into water."

"But, but you can't! This is all my fault. I saw the moon Cleo, I saw it. I'm the reason everything is going wrong."

Emma walks up to a mirror. "There I am. I didn't go anywhere." She looks at her reflection in the mirror. "Great. Now I just have to live with the fact that no one else can see me."

"I can see you."

Emma turns around and sees once again the skeleton with the knife. She starts running.

Lewis is standing in front of the house. He is running a hand over the place where the door used to be, holding an open book in his other hand. "I'm gonna have to create a door." He closes the book and walks over to his bag. He gets up with a chainsaw in his hands.

Back at Cleo's house, Don and Zane are still busy.

"There was a shipwreck back in 1887 over there."

"There has got to be a relationship between all of this things." He looks at the map. "Hang on." He starts connecting all the dots. All the lines connect at Mako Island. "Mako Island."

Rikki is in the kitchen when suddenly all the food and drinks start to explode. "It's all my fault, I don't know how to stop this. What's happening to me? I put them all in danger." Rikki runs towards the door right when Lewis succeeds in making a hole in the wall.

She runs trough it and jumps into the water on the other side of the road. "Rikki?" Lewis enters the room and sees Cleo making gasping sounds. "Cleo?" Cleo looks at herself and notices that the water is gone. "Cleo, what's wrong?"

"Couldn't get out off the water."

"It's okay. It's okay." He pulls her into his arms "We're okay."

Cleo shakes her head.

"We're not okay. We need to get out of here."

"I'd offer my opinion but you aren't gonna hear it anyway." Lewis walks over to where Emma is rocking back and forth on the edge of a chair "Not that I have anything important to say. I might as well hang out with my new best friend, the skeleton, for all you care."

"What is wrong with you?"

Emma gets up.

"You, you heard that? You, you can see me?" Lewis and Cleo nod. "Good. Oh, God, good!"

"The house separated us. It wanted to scare us."

"But, we got away."

"No. Rikki is still alone, she ran out. What's that?" Lewis points at the pentagram in the book. Cleo takes the book from him. "I think it's Latin."

"Can you translate?"

"Release me!" They all look around but there is nothing there "Release me!"

"Lewis, give me something."

"Okay, uhm, uhm, the icon's called the Mark of Gachnar. I think this is a summoning spell for something called..."

"Gachnar?"

"Well, yes. Somehow the beginning of the spell must have been triggered. Yeah I can see some blood on this page. Uhm, Gachnar is trying to manifest itself, to come into being."

"How?"

"It feeds on fear."

"Our fears are manifesting it. We're feeding it. We need to stop."

"Release me!"

"Okay, so our fears are feeding it, if we get out of here..."

They turn around to the hole Lewis made. The walls start knocking and shaking. The walls close up.

"Alright if that's not an option, Lewis the book."

"It's presence infects the reality of the house, but it's not managed to achieve full manifestation. We can not allow this to come into being."

"But if it does we can fight it, right?"

Lewis shows them a picture in the book of a very ugly demon.

"I don't want to fight that. So, we break the spell."

"What ever we do, lets do it fast."

"I have it, I have it. Uhm, the summoning spell for Gachnar can be shut down in one of two ways. Destroying the mark of Gachnar…" Emma rips the paper out of the book and tears it up in pieces, she lets them fall to the ground. She looks over at Lewis with a proud smile. "Is not one of them and will in fact immediately bring forth the fear demon itself." Emma makes a face and looks at the mark that's beginning to glow. The floor rumbles as they all stare in horror. He comes out of the paper and looks disgusting but is only a half foot tall.

"This is Gachnar?"

"Big overture. Little show."

"I am the dark lord of nightmares!" Cleo tries not to laugh. "The bringer of terror! Tremble before me. Fear me!"

"He's so cute!"

"Tremble!"

"Be that as it may, girls, when it comes to slaying..."

"Size doesn't matter?"

Emma stomps down and squishes the fear demon.

"Now we need to get Rikki."

"By now she is probably already affected by the moon."

Suddenly the bell rings.

"Lewis can you get that?"

"Where you expecting anyone?"

"Maybe it's Rikki."

Lewis opens the door and finds Ms Chatham. She comes in and Cleo sees who it is.

"Where were you, I looked everywhere?"

"We're in trouble. It's Rikki."

Ms Chatham smiles.

"Rikki. She has the most dangerous powers of all of you. Definitely do not let her out of your sight with a full moon."

"She ran off when a demon was in the house. We think she is probably affected by now."

"Do you know where she could have gone while she is all, you know, gaga?"

"She could be… anywhere."

"Big help."

"But the only safe place is the moon pool at Mako Island."

"Excuse me but this yoda act might be working on these two, but not on me."

"Lewis."

"No it doesn't make any sense. Water and moon light brings madness and you're telling them to go to the moon pool which is a pool full of moonlight on nights like this."

"I can't explain it, I just know from personal experience."

"And we are supposed to just accept that?"

"Yes dear."

"Lewis enough. So how do we get to Mako Island without being touched by the full moon?"

Rikki is making her way trough Mako while putting things on fire by accident.

Zane is getting in his zodiac and drives off towards Mako. He quickly notices the fire on a part of Mako and decides to investigate further. He finds Rikki sitting in a circle of fire.

"Hello, what's going on? Rikki? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I'm just… I can't do this anymore."

"Can't do what?"

"This. Everything, it's too hard. No one understands."

"I exactly know how that feels. What happened here? You're a mess." He plugs something out of her hair. She turns towards him and kisses him, making him overheat.

A few hours later Emma, Cleo and Lewis also arrive Rikki.

"Rikki, what have you done to Zane? We got to get her to the moon pool."

"What? How?"

"Leave it to me. Rikki, I want you to think nice cool thoughts. Visualise them. You're an iceberg, a polar bear."

"Cleo! Rikki, we need to go to the moon pool, you'll be save there."

Emma tries to put a blanket around her, but Rikki doesn't let her.

"Don't."

"Rikki, please come with us. It's for your own good."

"I'm alone for my own good. I'm meant to be alone. It's just the way things are. Things are never going to change. Just leave me alone."

"Guys, Zane is still breathing but he is totally dehydrated. I got to get him out of here."

"Rikki, listen up, you're not alone. We're part of something that we can't stop or control. When we are going somewhere, we are going together."

The girls are in the moon pool. Emma and Cleo are holding Rikki.

"Rikki, are you okay?"

"Ms Chatham said it would take her back to normal."

"Normal is a relative term. Rikki listen to me, you've got to snap out of it, you're save now."

"Emma, the water is heating up."

"Rikki! Please Rikki, wake up."

"Rikki c'mon wake up."

"It's cooling down."

Rikki opens her eyes.

"What are we doing here?"

"What's the last thing you remember?"

"Running out of the house, bumping into Lewis and then nothing."

The girls get back to Emma's.

"We got to get the house fixed up before mum and dad…"

They turn the corner and see Emma's parents.

"I hope you got a good explanation, young lady."

"There was this… party?"

Rikki is in the hospital and knocks on Zane's door.

"C'mon. Hey sunshine."

"Sure you want to call me that?"

"Why?"

"Because it looks to me that you can't handle much sunshine right now."

"It looks bad right."

"It looks red."

"Are those for me?"

He looks at the flowers in her hand.

"Yeah, now that I think about it, they are a bit lame."

"Sit down." He moves over so she can sit next to him on the bed. "Rikki, why were you at Mako Island last night?"

"Was I?"

"Yeah, you were. And something weird happened. I mean that must have been one hell of a kiss cause I can't remember anything after it happened. Can you?"

"No."

"Good, then at least I'm not alone on that one. Now come here."

Rikki lays down next to Zane and cuddles up to him.

"Do you want to talk about last night, all the things you said."

"Can't we just leave them be, let last night be last night?"

"Okay if you want to." He gives her a kiss on her forehead. "Your wish is my command."
