[Ariel] Copy Catfish.

[giggling]

Flounder, the bubbles
are tickling my nose!

I'm just so excited, Ariel.

We haven't seen your little
cousin Jewels in so long.

I know. I'm really
excited to see her, too.

I better practice
my best baby faces.

[clears throat]

[imitating baby noise]

[Ariel laughing]

-[gasps] There they are!
-[gasps]

Jewels is here!

[Jewels gasps] Ariel!

Jewels, look how big you are!

That's Jewels?

But you're not a baby anymore.

I'm five years old now.

I remember when you were
just a little guppy.

Where have the years gone?

Ariel,

that necklace is so cool!

Thanks, Jewels.

[King T] Let's all go inside.

Jewels has had a long trip.

And I could...
I mean she could use a snack.

[gasps] Did I just hear snack?

Let's paddle!

[both laughing]

[both] There goes Flounder.

[♪ lively music playing]

Where did Jewels go?

Here I am!

Look!

My necklace
is just like yours, Ariel.

Isn't it so cool?

It sure is.

I love it.

[slurping]

Look, Alanna, Ayanna,

she's doing
everything I'm doing.

[both chuckling]

Oh, Daddy, I found a fantastic
new land treasure yesterday.

Really? Well, that's great, Ariel.

[gasps] I found a land treasure, too.

You found a land treasure?

Yes! I love land treasures!

Do you know
what a land treasure is?

No.

But if you love 'em,
then I love 'em.

Um, have you noticed
that Jewels keeps copying me?

Yep.

I thought it was sweet at first,

but now...

Not so much.

Oh, we ate all the sea grapes.

We'll bring
some more from the kitchen.

Maybe she needs
to find her own thing.

Like you have
your land treasures.

Her own thing?
Well, what do you mean?

Well, when I was really little
like Jewels,

I didn't know what I liked either

and copied everyone but...

Go on.

But when I started to try new things,

I started to figure out

what I liked to do
and stopped copying everyone.

So...

So maybe If we help
Jewels figure out what she likes to do,

she'll stop copying what I'm doing.

It's worth a try.

That's a great idea, Flounder.

Let's do it!

Welcome to the Crystal Cavern.

Welcome to the Crystal Cavern.

I sure feel welcomed.

Fernie, Lucia, meet Jewels.

Hello, Jewels.

I like your necklace.

Thanks.

It's just like Ariel's.

[gasps]

What are all these things?

These are my land treasures.

It's human stuff.

Human stuff.

These are the things I love!

Just like Ariel.

Jewels is so sweet.

She sure just wants to be
just like you, Ariel.

Jewels is sweet,
but she's copying everything that I do.

So how about we help her find something
that she likes to do instead?

Yes! Maybe she'll like magic.

Hey, Jewels, have you ever
done magic before?

Nope. Do you think
I'll like it?

Jewels, you're gonna love it.

Ooh, this might work.

This potion gives you sparkles.

This one makes you invisible.

This one makes you grow.

And this potion changes
the color of anything.

[gasps]

[giggles]

[giggles]

[Jewels] Ooh!

That might be very... colorful.

Say, "Color, color, no more duller."

Color, color, no more duller.

[gasps] Abra-clamazing.

You made your hair red,
just like Ariel's.

[gasps] Hmm.

[giggles]

[whispers] Well, that didn't work.

Now she's starting
to look like you, too.

Oh, Flounder,
what am I gonna do?

I don't want her
to keep copying me.

Well, I'm all out of ideas.

Maybe we can try something else.

Hey, Fernie,

I think I know someone else

who would really like fish facts, too.

Yeah.

Hey, Jewels, do you want
to learn some fish facts?

Uh, okay.

This could be
what Jewels really likes.

Fins crossed.

I'm studying sea sponges
at the moment.

Did you know
that not all sea sponges are small?

Look, There are giant barrel sponges
that are as big as we are,

-and... Huh?
-Ooh! I have a notebook, too.

Wanna see?

An Ariel Mer-facts notebook?

Isn't it neat?
Let me show you.

Did you know that Ariel
loves to sing?

She has long and pretty red hair.

Her tail is sparkly...

Technically, it's more of a shimmer.

And she loves human stuff.

Isn't she so cool?

Those are some very accurate
murfacts, Jewels.

[sighs] First,
she does everything I do,

then she makes herself
look like me.

And now she knows
everything about me.

There has to be something
Jewels likes besides me.

We just haven't found it yet.

I think it's time for Jewels
to try everything under the sea.

[chorus] ♪ Yeah, yeah, yeah ♪

♪ Yeah, yeah, yeah ♪

♪ Hey ya, hey ya ♪

♪ You're gonna
love the feeling ♪

♪ When you find your own thing ♪

♪ Find your own thing ♪

♪ Hey ya, hey ya ♪

[sighs]

Don't you like
my cricket bat spin, Ariel?

It's just like yours.

Jewels, the bat span is my thing.

I'm trying to help you find your thing.

But my thing is your thing.

If you like something,
I like it, too.

But you need to find something
that you like, not just what I like.

How come?

So you'll stop copying me!

Oh...

Oh, no...

Jewels, come back!
I'm sorry!

[both giggling]

Alanna, Ayanna,
have you seen Jewels?

Yes. She's outside in the garden.

Is she okay?

She looks a little sad.

You do, too.

What's going on, sis?

I feel terrible.

Jewels was copying me
and it was bothering me a lot,

and I got annoyed
and I told her to stop copying me.

[both] Oh...

I was just trying to help Jewels
find something that she likes to do.

But I really hurt her feelings,

and I don't know
how to make things better.

You know, Ariel, you did the exact
same thing to us when you were little.

-I did?
-Yeah.

You copied everything we did.

But then as you got bigger, you started
to find things you liked to do.

Like looking for land treasures.

Jewels will stop copying you
when she's ready.

But for now, just enjoy that
Jewels wants to copy you.

That just means
she thinks you're awesome.

-[chuckles]
-Just like you thought

we were awesome when you copied us.

I still think my sisters are awesome.

Aw, you're awesome, too, lil' sis.

[all laughing]

Jewels?

Uh-huh?

I'm really sorry
for hurting your feelings

and saying
you should stop copying me.

That's okay. I'm sorry
for copying you so much.

But I couldn't help it.

You're just so cool.

And you're so cool, too.

I am?

Yes.

And if copying me
makes you happy,

then you can copy me
whenever you want.

Really?

-Really.
-[giggles]

[gasps]

Jumping jellyfish!

That's it!

Come on! I have an idea!

-Ooh!
-[gasps]

What do you think?

For me?

Yep.

I love, love, love it!

It's so cool!

Yeah. And we're gonna be
as cool as Ayanna and Alanna.

[both giggling]

[both] Twinsies!

[both laughing]


[Sebastian] Happy Crabby Day!

Let's see.

Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.

Coral decorations. Check.

-Bubba balloons. [exclaims]
-[pops]

Check.

Wow.

Look at him go.

Yeah.

Sebastian's been working
so hard planning this party.

Well, of course, I'm working hard!

Today is the annual
Coral Celebration party,

and everything at the palace
must be perfect.

Mmm.

No.

Mmm. No.

No.

Daddy, Sebastian does so much
for us around the palace.

And he never stops to take a break.

I think some quiet time
might be good for him.

Yes, he deserves a break to relax.

[groans] No.

No.

No.

[sighs] No.

Sebastian, thank you so much
for all your hard work

-getting things ready for the party.
-Hmm!

I'm certain the annual
Coral Celebration

is going to be well,
as the kids say,

clamazing!

Thank you, Your Majesty.

But it might be time
that you took a break to relax.

[exclaims] A break?

To relax?

[grunting]

I don't have time to relax!

How could you say
such a thing, Your Highness?

Sebastian.

[grumbles]

But I don't even know
what it means to relax.

Relaxing is easy.

Sometimes when I relax,
I have some quiet time.

Or I'll take a nap.

I always feel a whole lot better
when I take a break.

Yeah, If you took a break,

maybe you wouldn't be so jumpy.

Jumpy? Who's jumpy?

I'm not jumpy.

-Who's jumpy?
-[exclaims]

What's happening?

Sebastian is jumpy
and he needs to take a break.

I can't take a break!

If I don't do all the party planning,
who will?

We can pitch in and finish
planning the party, Sebastian.

Yeah. Fernie and I can totally handle
everything on your clipboard thingy.

Hmm.

See? There you go.

The party will be just fine.

Now you can go relax.

Me? Relax?

It'll be so good for you.

There has to be something
we can do to change your mind.

I might have an idea.

[trumpeting]

[all cheering]

Merpeople and sea creatures
of Atlantica.

I think that the crabs of Atlantica
need a day of appreciation.

[all cheering]

So...

as king of Atlantica,

I officially declare that today will be

Happy Crabby Day.

-[gasps]
-[crowd cheering]

Which means all crabs
must take the day off.

-[crab cheers]
-[gasps]

[cheering]

-Does this mean that...
-Yes.

-That I have to...
-Yes.

-But I have to...
-Uh-uh-uh.

The king has spoken, Sebastian,
which means you've gotta do it.

Now go on.

Okay. Okay, Your Majesty.

I'll take a break to relax.

But how?

Come on, Sebastian.

I'll show you.

[Ariel sighs in relief]

Whenever I've had a long day
exploring the ocean,

the Crystal Cavern is one of
my favorite places to come and relax.

Mine, too.

With all the beautiful crystals,
in their calming colors of purple,

blue and green.

[sighs]

It's so peaceful and relaxing,

-don't you think, Sebastian?
-[utensils clanging]

Hmm? [grumbles]

-Sebastian!
-Hmm?

You're organizing!

So I am. [chuckles nervously]

Here. Let us show you how to relax.

Why don't you try this
crab sized hammock?

Doesn't it look relaxing?

If you say so.

Now what do I do?

You just lie back,

relax, and breathe.

[exhaling]

[breathing deeply]

Breathe. Okay. I can do that.

[panting]

Okay, then.
Wow. Do I feel relaxed!

Anyhoo, I'd better get back and see
how things are going for the big party.

Fernie and Lucia
will take care of the party.

We are going
to go try something else.

There's got to be something around here
that can help Sebastian relax.

Oh, that would make such a lovely
table decoration for the party.

Oh! That would, too!

I do hope Lucia and Fernie

don't forget to set out
the rest of the decorations.

Sebastian,

just look around
at all the crabs in the market,

-enjoying their Happy Crabby day off.
-[chittering excitedly]

[chuckles]

[sighs in relief]

Hmm. You know what might help me
to relax?

-[both] What?
-Some more work!

Oh, no!

Come on, man,

I need something
for these claws to do.

I don't know, Ariel.

I'm starting to think Sebastian
may be unrelaxable.

-[♪ music playing in the background]
-[gasps]

That's it. Music may be just
the thing Sebastian needs.

Flounder, will you please
go get my guitar?

Sure thing, Ariel.

Thanks, Flounder.

Hi, Alanna, Ayanna.

Will you play a song with me?

-Sure. Ariel.
-What do you have in mind?

Something slow, calm

and most importantly, relaxing.

Follow my lead.

He used music to trick us,
didn't he?

Oh, that was definitely a trick.

Look, there he is!

[Sebastian chuckling]

[gasps]

-[Ariel] Sebastian!
-Hmm?

Stack them this way.

There. Organized.

-There he is!
-Gotta go. [yelps]

-Sebastian, wait!
-Huh?

Okay, okay. You caught me.

I really shouldn't have stopped
to organize those juice glasses.

Sebastian, you're supposed
to be relaxing.

Do you feel relaxed?

[panting]

No.

I'm sorry, Ariel, I tried.

But there's just no way
I'll ever be able to relax

as long as the annual
Coral Celebration party is happening.

If I'm not there to plan every detail,
it will be a disaster!

I understand, Sebastian.

We thought helping you relax
would make you feel better.

But if you really want to check in
on how the party's coming along,

then let's go back
to the palace.

Oh, thank you for understanding, Ariel.

[giggles]

Don't worry, everyone!

I am here to save the party!

Huh?

Something wrong, Sebastian?

The party that I was coming to save...

Does it need saving at all?

Sebastian, we're happy to report

that the annual Coral
Celebration Party planning is complete.

Look, we each got our own
clipboard thingies.

You all pitched in
to help little old me?

I am so happy.

I must admit,

this is the best party planning
that I didn't plan myself.

[chuckles]

You were right all along, Ariel.

Everyone did pitch in
to help me during my day off.

I guess it is okay
to take time to relax.

-Yep.
-Even if you didn't relax very much.

I promise, I've learned my lesson.

Do you think maybe
we can try doing

Happy Crabby Day
one more time?

[Ariel chuckles]

[slurping]

[sighs in relief]

Now this is relaxing.

Why don't we do this more often?
