Plot
Template:Spoiler Emma, Cleo and Rikki are sixteen year old girls growing up on the sun-drenched beaches of the Gold Coast. Emma's confident and athletic, Cleo is slightly insecure and akward. Rikki is 'different' - the new girl - aloof and smart.
Because of Rikki, the girls find themselves stranded at sea on day, flaoting towards the mysterious Mako Island. The three urban girls finds themselves exploring the eerie jungle covored island before becoming trapped in an ancient cavern under a volcano. Discovering a underwater channel, they decide to swim to safety. As they enter the pool, the light from a full moon illuminates the water, creating a mysterious glow.
Emma, Cleo and Rikki get off the island as fast as they can and back to "nornal" life. One by one however the girls discover life is never going to be normal again.
It's Emma who discovers it first when she goes for a morning training swim alone - contact with water makes her grow a fish tail! The others find exactly the same ting; Cleo - in the bath, Rikki - hit by a garden sprinkler. It seems if water touches them, they have seconds to dry off before long, elegant tails appear! They're mermaids!
But the surprises aren't over. As the girls experiment they find they've got extraordinary, magical powers over H2o. Emma can freeze water. Cleo can turn a drop into a bucketful and mould it into any shape. And Rikki can boil water with a gesture.
Everyday situation have now turned tricky. The morning shower - the swimming sports - rainstorms, all create profound problems. However together with their loyal friend Lewis, the girls resolve to resume their normal teenage lives. But it's hard to be normal when you're a part time mermaid!
