Aha.

Hi, Cruz.

Hmm? Pink like Cruz,

tail like Cruz,

but not acting like Cruz at all.

Maybe it's not Cruz.

It is you.

Hey, buddy.

Hi.

I couldn't tell if it was you.
Where's your usual
three-flip greeting?

Cruz,
are you playing a joke on me?

You must be.
You're funny.

I don't get it.

Me, neither.

What's wrong, Cruz?

Um...

Guess I'm just
kind of feeling off today.

-What do you mean, off?
-Mm.

-Not like myself.
-Why?

-I don't know.
-I don't like that
you're feeling off.

I know. This time,
I'll be at your service.

Cruz, we're going on a mission.

A mission?

Yep, the "get Cruz back
to feeling Cruzy" mission.

-Cool title.
-Come on.

I know the very thing
that'll help you
feel Cruzy again. Huh?

I'm not usually
the fast one, but that's okay.

We'll have you
swimming faster in no time.

Thanks. So, what's the thing?

Behold, your Whirlie Water
Obstacle Course.

Once you remember
how much fun it is
to cruise like Cruz,

you'll feel like
your old self in no time.

Okay, sure,
let's give it a whirl.

[giggles] Let's give it a whirl.

You wanna take the lead
through the seaweed maze?

No, thanks.

Oh, okay.

Let's see.

You've gotta zig.

And zag.

Then zag and zig.

Then zag, zig, zag.

That was double-flip fun, right?

Yep, double-flip.

Nice job, Kelp.

Thanks. I've been practicing.

And I had a great teacher.

[gasps]

Aha.

Maybe some belly bounces
will do the trick.

[giggling]

Boing, boing.

[moans]

Well?

I did it.

It was pretty fun.

Pretty fun
is not Cruz-level fun.

Not like the rock tube.

Whoa!

Woo-hoo!

Whoa!

[giggles]

All right. Woo-hoo!

Whoa, whoa!

Yay! Woo-hoo!

Yeah!

That was awesome.

I heard you giggle a little.

I did, a little.

-But not enough
to feel Cruzy again?
-Mm-mm.

Oof.

[both] Whoa!

Dolphins.

[both laughing]

Wow, if anyone knows
how to have fun like
a dolphin, it's other dolphins.

-Probably.
-Let's see what they're up to.

[gasps]

Look, Cruz.

The sun is shining,
the breeze is blowing,

and the dolphins
are riding the waves.

-Woo-hoo!
-Whoa, yeah!

-Wow!
-[Hollis] What's up,
water friends?

-I'm Hollis.
-And I'm Izzy Anne.

But we like to go by...

[both] The Cyclone Sisters.

Hi, Cyclone Sisters.

I'm Kelp.
This is my friend Cruz.

How are the waves today?

Totally rad.

Here comes another one now.

-You keen to have a go?
-Come on.

You should, Cruz.

The waves are rad,
and you love to surf.

This is the perfect thing
to Cruz you up.

Yeah, let's give it a go.

[both] Ready?

Crush it, Cruz.

Oops.

We'll get the next one.

Aw.

Whoa. You were so close.

And even the misses
are fun, right?

Thanks. I just don't feel
like riding the waves today.

-No worries.
-Nice to meet you both.

[sighs] Sorry, Kelp.

That's okay.
I know you're feeling off today.

Kelp, I think what
I'm actually feeling is sad.

Oh, Cruz, how come?

I'm not sure.

I can't think
of any real reason.

Oh.
I thought you were feeling off.

But if you're feeling sad,
then maybe we need
a new mission.

-Yeah?
-Yeah,
the "cheer Cruz up" mission.

And for this one,
we're gonna need reinforcements.

[laughing]

Hey, Little Flippers.
Can Cruz and I play with you?

[both] Of course.

You're just in time.
We're playing
Hide 'n' Seek Squeaks.

How do you play?

Squeaks hides, and we find him.

-[both giggling]
-Hmm.

-He's right there.
-Huh?

Squeaks, we told you.

You gotta hide.

One, two, three...

four, five.

Okay.
We're ready to play
and start having some fun.

Come on. Let's be the ones
to find Squeaks first.

Huh.

-[shouts]
-[both screaming]

Boo!

That Squeaks
sure is a good hider.

Maybe we'll never find him.

He's over there.

Squeak, squeak, squeak.

-Here we go.
-Way to go, Cruz.

Hmm.

You just won the game.

Why are you sad?

Did you wake up on
the wrong side of the clamshell?

No.

-Did you forget
to eat breakfast?
-Nope.

[Cups gibbering]

Cups wants to know
if you stubbed your fin
on the coral.

Ouchies always bring her down.

We hope you feel less sad soon.

Thanks for the game.
Catch you later.

-Cruz?
-Yeah, Kelp?

I feel like instead
of cheering you up,
I'm letting you down.

Huh? You're not.

Promise.

I've tried everything I can
think of that you usually like
in the ocean.

[gasps] In the ocean.

But I haven't tried
things you like on land.

This has got to work.

[Ollie humming]

Hey, Ollie.

Hey, Kelp. Hey, Cruz.
Just getting my groove on.

-Huh? Are you okay, Cruz?
-I'm feeling sad today.

Sorry to hear that.
Having a jam sesh
always makes me feel better.

That's a great idea.

We can play a happy tune
and do a groovy dance.

Say it with me, Cruz. Groovy.

Groovy.

I'll start us off.

Coming in on the drums.

[lily pads chiming]

Huh? That doesn't sound
like a happy song.

-What should we do?
-Play like him.

That was beautiful, Cruz.
I've never heard a song like it.

Neither have I.
That was really special.

Thanks for the jam sesh
and trying to cheer me up,

but I'm ready to go home now.

Okay, I'll go with you.

See you later, Ollie.

Bye, Kelp. Bye, Cruz.
I hope you feel better.

Kelp?

I'm sorry. I failed.
Nothing we did cheered you up.

You didn't fail.

-I feel bad for ruining our day.
-You didn't ruin our day.

You're my best friend,
no matter how you feel.
Mud or rainbows.

You looked so peaceful
when you were playing
the slow song.

It matched how I'm feeling,

which actually made me
feel a little better.

It did?

Mm-hm.

If cheering you up didn't work,
and the sad song
made you feel better...

Then I think we have
another mission.

-We do?
-Yep,
the "let Cruz feel sad" mission.

I'll stick by you
until we see it through.

You mean,
it's okay that I'm feeling sad?

Uh-huh.

Thanks for being
such a great friend.

Of course.
I'm always here for you.

This is the best
I've felt all day.
