Okay, guys I know I've been doing the most lately but I had an amazing idea. You really have to invisialize it, to see it but ehre it is :)

Picture this -

The film starts with a view over the Huntington beach in California, music and fan clapping is heard. Then we go to the boardwalk and pier on the beach and it's some sort of carnival and a band is playing! People are cheering and clapping, chanting "Rebels! Rebels! Rebels!" in an excited tone. Three singers are in boy band, similar to (Jonas Brothers or Emblem 3) named the 'Socal Rebels'. Lead singer and guitarist, Jason Carter; Drummer and singer, Wes; and base player, pianist and singer Charlie. The group enters the scene to the cheering fans, and Jason gets on the mic and says "You guys ready to rock out with us?" followed by a roar of cheers from the fans.

the scene then immediately transitions out in the water, a girl (Marina) emerges from under the water, far out on the beach and says "oo they're starting" and smiles and dives into the water to get closer, but when she dives in head first a mermaid tale is scene going into the water (she is a mermaid)

back on the beach, the band starts performing "Sunset Blvd" by Emblem3 (I love this song and you guys should go check it out, i think it really fits the movie), anyway it's similar to the scene in hannah montana the movie when she performs lets get crazy similar set up and beach scenes ya know (see here). Meanwhile in the audience there's a boy who goes to school with the three boys and is kind of against them and dislikes them, named Eli. Another girl named Leah is in the audience is cheering happily.

Marina is in the ocean and is smiling and enjpoying herself (so after the 3 minute song performance) everyone is cheering and clapping and Jason says "thank you so much everybody!" and the guys come up on his shoulder and Wes says "and if you like that don't forget to come see us in a couple weeks at the hot summer jam contest!" the audience then cheers again. Leah is Jason's best friend.

Marina goes back to see her parents king neptune and the queen who use to be a human and askes her mother what it's like to be human. Her mother tells her tales. (im going to try to wrap things up so you guys dont have to read that much)

basically long story short. Jason and his band are best friends and have been for a while, but Jason writes all the songs, but he coems down with writers block, one night he goes out for a swim and the tides come in and he enarly drowns but Marina saves him. She spots out Leah on the beach who went to check on Jason. when he wakes up they promise to keep the secret that mermaids exist. this however gives him a new inspiration. When Marina returns she askes her parents for special permission to become human. When she first goes back to the beach at night she transforms into a human girl, but Eli thinks he sees this and is vry supicisions. She still maintains her mermaid abilites like being able to manipulate water, freeze water and boil it (similar to H20 lol), but her and Jason start hanging out and getting along with Leah supporting them and helping keep her secret. She turns back into a mermaid every night of the full moon. The band mates then begin to pressure Jason that he is spending to much time with the girl and not focusing on the band. after a lot of hanging out, Marina over hears Jason and his friends talking, Charlie says "you care more about some dumb girl than the hot summer jam?!" and he replies "no i dont" she then cries and goes abck to the ocean and doesn't return for a while, but when she does Eli see's her. Going back to the ocean she sings "Not like the Movies" by Katy Perry. amazing song. He then waits for her one day at the bach and he swims into the ocean to find her and almost drowns again due to strong waves, she helps him and he apologies and she agrees to see him perform. Before there band performance he sings a special song to her to not only apologize but to show his real feelings for her, "". Right before the final performance, Eli takes the mic from them and yells "Jason is dating a mermaid" while Marina and Leah are in the audience. He pours water on her and she transforms. basically everyone is amazed and shocked and everything, the other two guys give a big speech, apologzing to Jason and Marina and saying let them be, and not to call any police or news team or scientist, she is still human, everyone promises to keep her secret and the band performs another big hit song, and at tht end Jason aND THE GUYS HUG AND everthing is cool. later the sun is about to set, Jason and Marina are talking on the beach...

Jason: Do ou really have to go?

Marina: I don't have too, but I do. "she breaks their eye contact and looks out into the ocean while Jason is still looking at her)

Jason: WHy?

Marina: Cause that's my home, the same reason you stay here,

Jason: Will you ever come visit me again?

Marina: I would love too. .. . (smiles) but?

Jason: But what?

Marina: (looks down and then back up) but i think things need to settle down first, maybe one day we can be ya know?

Jason: but not now

Marina: Im sorry

Jason: don be, but im really going to miss you

(MARINA starts to tear up)

(they kiss) and she stands up and goes to the water as the beach water hits her feet a light starts to glimmer and she transforms into a mermaid

they wave bye and she leaves (i tried to rush it but it would be more romantic than that)

Wes, Charlie and Leah come up behind him.

Leah: it's gonna suck not having another girl around to talk too.

Charlie: (pats Jason on the bacK)

Wes: you gonna be okay

Jason: yeah ill be fine. . . . . but we still gotta start writing new music for our next gig

everyone cheers etc and it ends. I really am pressed for time, i couldn't break down the movie the way i wanted too but yeah)
