How are they going to live without each other? After a terrible storm leaves a mermaid stranded in the pool of Claire's family's beachfront hotel, the girls help her. Aquamarine tells them that she will grant them one wish if they help her find a boy. Her father will allow her to stay on land for a few days before she has to return to the sea. Both Claire and Hailey have always had a crush on the local lifeguard, Raymond, and when Aquamarine sees him she is smitten.
