Being Natasha Paradise Cafe

What if I can't work my powers?

What if I can't beat Ragnar and he destroys the island?

Well, that would be bad, wouldn't it.

Aaaargh!

No-o-o-o-o!

No-o-o-o-o-o!

How did you know you could do that blast thing?

I didn't. When the moment came it just happened.

MUSIC

You're the Sea Born, a fish magnate. Surely that's got to be cheating?

Hi. Nice catch!

-No way!

-Then again, I'm the Robbster, a babe magnate!

I guess that makes us even, buddy. Ha ha!

-What d'ya reckon?

-Excellent.

-Awesome!

I'm making some flyers to hand out on the beach.

This party's going to rock.

And no more pollution.

-No more sea ghosts.

-Just surf, sun and babelicious babes.

Ow! All right!

This is the best summer ever.

-Oh!

-Whoa!

-That was almost a calamity.

It could have hurt me, I mean.

Might be paradise, Natasha, but the island isn't without its hazards.

I'll have to be more careful won't I.

Oops!

Are you OK?

I've been told I'm accident prone.

-Ooh!

-Is that right?

Not a great look for an on-the-spot reporter.

That is, if I ever get to be one.

I always thought you'd be a marine biologist like your father.

-I know that's what he wants...

-You're a straight A science student.

-You can make the news not just report it.

-Or I could do both.

It's not enough, we need more.

There's a bunch of party stuff at the hotel, I can get some.

Great. I'll finish the flyers.

Toodloo kangaroos.

-Where's everybody going?

-Hotel. Party stuff.

-Upstairs. Flyers.

-Beach. Waves.

But who's going to run the cafe?

Me? No way, I've got stuff on today.

Important stuff. You think I've got time to stay here and look after...

All right. If it'll help you guys out.

She passed the water test, mate. She's not a sea ghost.

-The ghosts have gone. It's been weeks.

-The lagoon's running clear.

-You whipped Ragnar's butt.

-I did, didn't I?

Man, that was sweet.

Huah!

Argh!

That was totally awesome.

Are you saying the pollution stopped three weeks ago?

Soon as I sealed the rift.

So there won't be much work to do? I'll have time to find a story?

Can't think what it'll be about. Chloe!

-Hi.

-Chloe, this is Natasha.

She's spending the summer here as my lab assistant.

-Hi, Natasha.

-Hi, Chloe.

Is something wrong with your hand?

No! I just like to keep it out of the sun.

-I'm sure you'll love it here.

-Me too.

I've just got to watch out for falling...

Oh!

..coconuts.

Ooh! Right, better get you cleaned up then.

Oh, that's a mistake you don't want to make.

A little rave.

Starts around five. Only if you want.

Oh? You do want? Super.

Oh, don't say super.

Great!

Maybe we could, er...hang out?

One date for later coming right up.

Er...

Erm...

Super!

You choked! The Robbster never chokes.

Get it together. You need to make the most of the ghost-free summer.

Hi, there!

Oh, sorry. For a moment I thought you were a gho...

..a cloth! You need a cloth.

-You're all red.

-A bit. It's so hot.

If I could only drink some of that water.

Robbo, this is Natasha.

Right. You're staying for summer to help Dad.

-Among other things.

-Natasha's looking for a scoop.

A big story to get her into journalism school.

She thinks she'll find it here!

Not on this little coral island, it's always quiet.

Awesomely quiet.

Except Megan's planned a party to celebrate a summer free of ghos...

COUGHS

Free of darn pollution. How good is your timing, Natasha?

Spectacular.

Chloe?

That better be you.

-Listen, we're having a party...

-Megan.

What is it?

You know how I betrayed Ragnar?

I SO love you for that.

Before he was defeated, he took his revenge.

Look.

My ghost form's returning and there's nothing I can do to stop it.

I have to go back to the sea.

Today.

Forever.

This is goodbye, Megan.

No! No. Tai's the Sea Born.

He defeated Ragnar. He can help you too.

I'll text him. Don't go anywhere.

He said he's on his way.

Guys, this is Natasha.

Oh, right. I'm Megan. Hi.

Hi. Hi again.

-How's the hand?

-Still keeping it out of the sun.

Robbo, why don't you take Natasha up to her room.

Like, now.

You're going to love it here, Natasha. It's so relaxing.

How bad is it?

If ever we needed the amazing Sea Born.

-He's right here.

-You really are my only hope, Tai.

-You do your thing, I'll keep watch.

-Hi?

Sorry, party prep under way. Come back soon, thanks.

Sea spirits, hear me.

I'm the Sea Born.

Let our friend, Chloe, keep her human form.

I've lost my powers.

They've gone.

Your dad told me about the device, how it stopped the pollution.

Yep. Dad's pretty smart. That's probably where I get it from.

Must be frustrating for him, though.

Not knowing what the toxin was.

-Some things you're just not meant to know.

-Why not?

Er...

Oh! Ooh!

You all right?

Chairs. They see me coming.

So, why isn't your dad meant to know about the toxin?

I don't even know why I said that.

Do you want to go diving tomorrow?

Can I see the device?

We check it every day, make sure the green light's on.

-That means it's doing its job.

-Keeping the pollution contained?

And the rift sealed so nothing comes out.

'Nothing' being..?

Er...customers.

TROPICAL MUSIC

What do you mean I have to hire the staff? I'm your daughter.

And your mother is trying to run a business.

-Can't you take it out of my allowance?

-What allowance?

Time's are tough, darling. Look around.

SNORES

But the lagoon is finally clear again. This place is a paradise.

Word is obviously taking time to leak out.

I've had to fire the waiters, the cleaners, I've had to fire George.

But George is the best chef ever!

He knows just how I like things.

Don't give me the face!

You're not the one who's had to fire her manicurist.

We all have to make sacrifices. Now, give me twenty five dollars.

Can't I owe you? The party's in five hours.

That gives you the right amount of time

to scrub the floors and clean the loos.

I know you're tying to help but I can't wear these all the time.

You want people to see you're going ghostal? They'll freak.

They won't if they see me like this?

The more skin we cover,

the more time we buy for Tai to find his powers.

What if I'm like a battery?

Fighting Ragnar used up all my powers and now I'm flat?

-I need a recharge.

-How?

# Nice face, I think I like you...#

OK, mate. Just calm down, turn on the old Robbo charm

and dazzle her with your X factor.

She'll be like -

"Me? Go to the party with you?

"I'd love to."

Robbo-tastic!

He's the Sea Born. Where else would he go to recharge?

Argh!

What is it? The sea? You can feel its awesome power?

Argh! You could say that! Argh!

Argh! Argh!

You might have noticed there's a party here later. Heaps of fun.

Thought you might want to be my date.

Or not.

SCREAMS

Sorry.

Er...sorry. Sorry.

You asked her out, didn't you?

You have no idea how hard I had to work for this stuff.

I actually had to clean toilets. Mum's been on a firing rampage.

Pollution may be gone but so has nearly all of our guests.

They'll be back when they realise that stinky gunk's history.

I hope so. Scrubbing loos is way worse than dealing with sea...

..ghosts!

Sorry. I thought...

Abi, Natasha, Dad's new lab assistant.

Right. Hi.

Erm...why is my body on fire?

-Oh, yeah. The smoothie's got all this chilli.

-Help!

SIGHS WITH RELIEF

Maybe I'm not the Sea Born any more. Maybe I'm just plain old Tai.

No.

It's what I always knew. Ragnar's curse can't be undone.

But that doesn't mean you've lost your powers.

When you need them, they'll be there.

They're in you, Tai.

They're on you.

They are you.

Oh, no you don't.

BUZZES AND CRACKLES

BUZZES AND CRACKLES

DISTANT LAUGHTER ECHOES

Are you sure you'll be OK?

Ragnar's gone.

It'll all be OK.

Let's make a deal.

I promise to have fun with ghost friends,

if you promise to have fun with your friends on the island.

Every day.

OK?

OK.

I love you.

I love you, too.

'Starts in less than an hour.'

There'll be heaps of food, music and dancing. You like to dance?

-Mhm.

-Me too.

Alright, alright...

See you round. Like a doughnut!

"Like a doughnut."

No way.

The world's gone topsy-turvy, Abs.

Up is down,

shirts are short.

My babe magnet's lost its pull.

My charm, my allure,

my Robbo-ness, gone.

On the plus side, some girls actually like try-hards!

Really?

I'm kidding.

You're not a try-hard...mostly.

I mean, if those girls aren't interested, it's their loss. Right?

Erm...

Just stand by me. At least you won't look like a loser.

Hey, Megan.

Just doing some research for your dad. Busy, busy.

Where's Chloe?

She's... Erm, gone.

Where?

Home.

To...?

Where she lives.

Somewhere cold?

Only I noticed she was wearing all that winter stuff before

on the beach.

Erm... Yeah, she needed to acclimatise.

She's Icelandic. From Iceland.

An Icelander.

With a story to tell, I bet. Just wish I'd heard it.

Yeah.

Maybe it needs to be out of the cup first, so you can freeze it mid-air.

Ready? Go.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Don't worry. Inopportune things always happen to me.

Just part of being Natasha.

-It's five o'clock.

-Party time!

MUSIC PLAYS

You don't need a date to have fun at a party, bro.

There's more important things in life than girls.

BOTH: Nah!

Let's mingle.

-Don't forget the food. You need to hand it round.

-Uh?

-And the smoothies? The ones we're famous for?

-I thought you...

Nuh-uh. I promised Chloe I'd have fun every day

-and you know what I'm like with promises.

-But...

-See ya!

-What just happened?

-Your little sister took a walk all over you!

Get us some chips and dip, eh, waiter boy?

This party is way too slow. I've got a plan to get it poppin'.

Tai, pass around some food.

Cupcake?

Trust me. This is just what you need to get your juju back.

-It's mojo.

-Whatever.

OK, guys, listen up. So we're all here to celebrate summer

-and what a summer!

-CHEERING

-No more pollution,

-CHEERING

no more annoying sea gho...

Gulls. Seagulls.

Gone from the cafe!

Such a nuisance. Always smacking into things.

So to celebrate, we're making history. Dance history.

You know the Moonwalk, the Macarena and the Hustle,

but there's a new dance in town, the Smoothie!

-See? I told you. You're juju's back in business.

-It's mojo.

Come on, Natasha. Yeah!

The device is broken. Pollution's back.

And...focus.

Stop! SMASHING SOUND

-It froze till you were out of the way.

-I think it did.

The seal's broken, anything can happen. We have to be ready.

ALL: Argh!
