Season 1 Episode 7 "Zac's Pool Party"

Zac was inside his pool trying to see how long he could hold his breath while Luna and Cam timed and hung out on the surface, enjoying the sun.

"Why aren't you in there with him?" Cam suddenly questioned Luna as she was sunbathing.

"I can breath underwater, I don't need to see how long I can hold my breath." Luna told him without even looking at him.

This information made Cam very shocked, for he did not know that was possible. He was opening and closing his mouth, trying to find something to say when Zac came up from the water at Luna's insistence.

"Come on, I could've lasted way longer." Zac whined, which brought Cam out of his shock. "How many minutes was that?"

Luna handed the stopwatch to Cam as she had no idea how to work it. "After 20 minutes, I kind of lost interest." Cam moved the watch back and forth for emphasis.

"I reckon I could last a whole hour without taking a breath." Zac boasted his ability while still in the pool.

"I know I could, even before I could breath underwater." Luna bragged with a smile,  which made Zac roll his eyes, but he smiled anyway.

"Hey, Zac" Evie, one of Zac's close friends, said while walking up.

"Stop her!" Zac panicky commanded. Cam jumped up to go to her while Luna followed him, as she didn't know what else to do.

"He's training." Cam excused Zac, not bothered about lying for him.

"Really?" Evie asked with a confused expression, "He hasn't been lately."

"Well, he's back into it now." Luna said, drawing Evie's attention to her.

"Who are you?" Evie asked as she had never met her before.

"Oh, right. Um, I'm Luna Santos, Rita's niece." Luna nervously told her while holding out her hand. Luna knew exactly who Evie was as she was in a lot of pictures with Zac and Cam.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Evie. How do you know Zac and Cam?" Evie questioned after shaking her hand.

"We all met on Mako when they were camping. I had just arrived with my adopted sisters when I decided I wanted to explore the island." Luna explained, using the cover story that her and Rita came up with when asked about her past.

"We probably shouldn't disturb him." Cam suddenly cut in, while grabbing her hands to lead her away, "Can I buy you a juice?"

Evie raised an eyebrow at him, "Now? I just got here."

"Can't mess up his program. Let's go." Cam dismissed while pulling her away from the mer-people.

"We need to talk!" Evie exclaimed, trying to get out of Cam's tugs.

"Later!" Zac called back to her.

Evie was not happy as Cam pulled her away from her best guy friend.

"Ohhhh! That was close!" Luna breathed out while plopping back onto her seat.

Zac just sighed and went back underwater.

Luna was back in the moon pool with Serena, Nixie, and Lyla discussing what to do about Zac.

"How are we gonna get rid of Zac's powers?" Nixie asked with a crestfallen expression.

"Nothing has worked." Luna added, still not sure who she should help in this situation.

"I still say we become his friend. We get him to trust us and then we work together to get rid of them." Lyla, once again, told them. Luna just rolled her eyes.
