Zac was swimming near Mako excitedly looking for Luna, unaware of the prospected mermaid swimming behind him, intended on finally scaring him.
The merman was about to turn the corner when she grabbed his tail.
Zac jumped away quickly turning around to see who or what grabbed him. He had his fist up and clenched, preparing to fight back. He immediately looses his stance when hears Luna's booming laugh, which he can't help smile at.
After Luna stopped laughing, they started to play around with each other.
They both went their separate ways after 30 minutes, both having places they need to go. With Zac going to hang out with Cam and Luna meeting up with the girls at Rita's.

When Luna went down into the storage grotto, she had only caught some of what Nixie dolphin spoke to Lyla.
She let out a booming laugh, it was obvious Nixie was still being bitter to Lyla. Lyla looked over to Luna with confusion on her face.
"Were you just talking about me?" She asked venomously when she turned back to Nixie.
Nixie just shrugged at her, trying to get a response out of her.
"Do you really think that making friends with Zac will work?" Serena asked, putting the conversation back on track. The question caused Luna to tense up, her not feeling comfortable with them trying to lie to Zac. Though Luna knows that Zac already knows what they are planning to do.
"It's worth a shot." Lyla answered, sending a pointed look to Luna, as she already knew of their friendship. "And Luna can help us, as she is already friends with the enemy."
Nixie, Luna, and Serena seemed shocked, though Luna for the fact that she knew they were friends in the first place.
"It's about his feeding time at the cafe." Lyla informed as she was walking up the stairs preparing to put her plan in action.
———
They arrived at the cafe with Serena immediately heading over to David while the others look for a table with a good view point of Zac.
Luna just wanted for all of this to be over with. If the pod didn't want her, she didn't want them either.
Serena came back and they started looking at Zac and Cam, trying to find a way to become friends with them.
"This is the perfect time. They're happiest when they're feeding." Lyla said quite creepily. Luna had to hold in a laugh, she decided that she was going to sit back and enjoy how embarrassing they were going to be.
"I don't know. They look pretty distracted." Serena tried to convince since she didn't think that their plan was good.
"I'm telling you, this will be easy." Lyla reaffirmed. When she said this Nixie just looked at her like she was crazy.
"You can't just walk up to them."
"Not more about these land people rules, please." Lyla almost begged. It seemed like Nixie was finally starting to get over her grudge against Lyla.
"I have studied them for a very long time. The ritual stays the same." She drawled out slowly, trying to get it through her head. "Look at me."
"First, you make eye contact." Nixie coached them, making her eyes widen to emphasize her point.
"And then you smile." she added on to her wide eyes with a smile.
"And then you just ask them about themselves and talk about something that you both have in common." Nixie concluded with her explanation of how to make friends with land people.
