[Ariel] The Great Big Garden Show.

Totally tails! [gasps]

Look at all these
big, beautiful plants, Fernie.

I know!
King Triton's Great Big Garden Show

sure looks fantastic!

Everybody brought
so many plants to the show.

[sniffs]

I can't wait to see what plant
Ariel is going to bring.

Let's go find out!

Your plant looks phenomenal, Ariel!

Thanks, Flounder. I think so, too.

[Lucia] Ariel, Flounder.
Ready for the Great Big Garden Show?

We sure are.

Fernie, Lucia, meet my new plant...

Leafy.

Aw, what a cute plant.

-Leafy says hi.
-[Lucia laughs]

Nice to meet you, Leafy.

You're a healthy shade of green.

Come on, Leafy,
let's get you to the garden show

so everyone in Atlantica can see you.

The Great Big Garden Show
is a huge success, Sebastian,

and it hasn't even begun!

I guess you're not the only one
who loves gardening, Your Majesty.

[both laughing]

[Sebastian] Yeah, mon!

-[gasps] Clam-azing!
-[gasps]

Mmm... Hmm. [gasps]

Hmm.

[sighs]

Everything okay, Ariel?

Well, I was just noticing how

everyone's sea plants
are so much bigger than Leafy.

Yeah, but you've only
had Leafy for a few days.

She's still growing.

Okay, very slowly,

but she is growing.

-Excuse us, Ariel.
-Oh! Oh, sure, I'll just, uh...

Our sea plant is kinda big.

And heavy.

Mmm.

Even Alanna and Ayanna's sea plant
looks great and big next to Leafy.

[sighs] I'm not sure that
Leafy should be in the show.

Why not?

Well, I don't know,

maybe Leafy needs to be a great big plant
to be in the Great Big Garden Show.

But I like Leafy the way she is!

-Me, too.
-Yeah.

She's so cute.

-[swooshing]
-[gasps]

Señorita Ursula!

Love the magical entrance.

I knew you would, Lucia.

Bonjou, Miss Ursula!

Hello, Fernie.

-Hi, Tauntie.
-Hi, Miss Ursula, ma'am.

Whoa!

Tauntie, how did you get your
sea plant to grow so big?

All it takes is a little time,
a little water,

and a little of my plant food, of course.

But, Miss Ursula, ma'am,

plants don't have mouths to eat food.

[chuckles] You're right,
Flounder, they don't.

But just like we need food
for proper nutrition,

and to help us grow,

so do plants.

Which is why the liquid in this bottle

is called plant food.

I get it now.

Dogfish have dog food,

catfish have cat food,

and Leafy needs plant food!

Exactly!

-[laughs]
-So...

Is that plant food what you used

to make your sea plant
grow so big and great?

Oh, no.

For this plant, I used...

[snaps fingers] Magic plant food!

-Magic plant food?
-Yes!

I use it sometimes
to grow great big sea plants.

[both gasp]

Great... big...

[gasps] Jumping jellyfish! That's it!

Maybe if I use Tauntie's
magic plant food on Leafy,

I can make her greater and bigger.

Do you wanna be a great, big sea plant?

Leafy says yes!

[all laughing]

Tauntie, may I please use
your magic plant food

to make Leafy great and big?

Yes, you may.

But...

it's very important to follow
the directions on the bottle...

-Uh-huh.
-...because if you don't follow

the directions,

Leafy might grow too big, too fast,

and things can get out of control.

Now remember, follow the directions.

No ifs, ands, or halibuts.

Got it! Thank you, Tauntie.

Okay, so the directions say...

"Add one drop of magic
plant food to your plant."

Okay.

One drop.

[gasps] Oh! Did you see that?

It's a new leaf!

A new leaf for Leafy.

This magic plant food really works!

I love magic.

♪ Just one more drop
so that Leafy can grow ♪

♪ All the way to the top ♪

♪ She'll be the best in the show ♪

♪ But what would Ursula say? ♪

♪ It's okay
She'll never know ♪

♪ She said one drop a day ♪

♪ Let's just see how it goes ♪

♪ I'm sure it's okay ♪

♪ Let's add another ♪

But the bottle says...

♪ Just one more drop!
Just one more ♪

♪ Just one more drop! ♪

-No, stop!
-♪ Don't need a lot ♪

-♪ I'm not sure... ♪
-♪ Just one more drop ♪

See? I knew that was a good idea!

Whoa, Leafy is so big now!

You might need a new name.
I'll think of one.

♪ I think it's time
Leafy's ready to go ♪

♪ Let's go see her shine
at the Big Garden Show ♪

What's wrong now?

There's a tiny leaf
on the back side of the plant.

I forgot to put a drop back there.

But, Ariel, you already put
way too many drops

of magic food in your plant.

Are you sure about that?

I am. Besides, what's one more drop?

♪ I'm sure it's okay
Let's add another ♪

See?

♪ Just one more drop
Just one more ♪

♪ What's one more drop ♪

-♪ Oh, no! ♪
-♪ Think you should stop ♪

♪ Just one more
Just one more ♪

[rumbling]

Um... What's that sound?

It's Leafy! She's growing!

♪ She's growing
And she's growing ♪

♪ And she's growing
And she's growing ♪

I think I have a new name for Leafy...

Leaf-zilla!

♪ Getting bigger
Look, she's growing ♪

♪ Way too big now
She's not slowing ♪

Oh, no! Leafy's making a great, big mess!

♪ Going faster, overflowing
Taking over, she's exploding ♪

Come on! Let's try and stop her!

♪ She's not stopping
She keeps going ♪

♪ She keeps growing
She keeps growing ♪

[rumbling stops]

I think it's over.

Ah!

[gasps] Now it's over.

[sighs in relief]

[sighs]

My room is a disaster!

And now Leafy's way too big
to take to the garden show.

[sighs]

This is all my fault.

We'll help you clean up, Ariel.

Yep. Don't worry.

[sighs]

-Thanks, friends.
-[swooshing]

[all groaning]

You didn't follow the directions, did you?

No, Tauntie. I didn't.

I'm so sorry for not listening to you.

And I'm sorry for not
listening to you, too, Fernie.

And Flounder.

Thanks, Ariel. I accept your apology.

Me, too!

But I kinda like having
a treehouse in our room.

[giggles]

I just really miss how Leafy was before.

She was quite lovely.

She was. [chuckles softly]

And now I understand

why following the directions
is so important.

And if there were directions
to follow to fix all this, I would.

Come here, my little merling.

Everything will be all right.

Tauntie's here to help.

Thanks, Tauntie.

[snaps fingers]

Tauntie, is that...

Magic plant food that will turn Leafy
back to the way she was?

Yes. Yes, it is.

Would it be all right
if I used your magic plant food

to turn Leafy back to the way she was?

Are you sure you're gonna
follow the directions this time?

Yes. I will follow every
single word of it, Tauntie.

No ifs, ands, or halibuts.

[all cheering]

Very well, Ariel.

I'll be at the Great Big Garden Show
if you need anything.

Ta-ta, merlings!

Okay, Ariel.

Now, the directions say,

just add one drop.

[Ariel] Aw.

-[cork pops]
-[gasps]

Huh.

-Hmm.
-[Fernie and Flounder] Huh?

Maybe you should add one more.

-[all] Hmm?
-[Ariel giggles]

Never mind. [laughs sheepishly]

So, now what?

I don't know. We followed the directions.

-[gasps] Ariel, look!
-[Flounder gasps]

[all gasp]

[all gasp]

Oh, my fins!

Following the directions really worked!

Now she has two leaves
and one little flower bud.

And check it out!

Leafy looks just like she did
after you gave her one single drop!

Aw, how cute!

You're gonna have a flower on your leaf
just like I have one in my hair.

I'm so happy you're back, Leafy.

Let's go show you off
at the Great Big Garden Show.

This is a good spot for you, Leafy.

Hello, everyone.
Welcome to the Garden Show.

What beautiful colors!

How vibrant!

Such big leaves.

And... what's this little plant's name?

[Ariel] This is Leafy.

Mmm. Welcome to
the Great Big Garden Show, Leafy.

Thank you, Daddy.

[in deep voice] Leafy is happy to be here.

[chuckles]

It looks like you followed the directions.

Good job!

I sure did, Tauntie. Thank you.

And thank you, Leafy.

You really are my favorite plant.

And I'll keep taking care of you
so you grow great and big.

But not too big,

'cause I love you just the way you are.

Huh? [gasps]

Aw, look at her!

Aw, look at her little flower!

Aw, she's so cute!

[Flounder] The Sea Sniffles.

[sneezes]

Mmm, these pholourie snacks
are going to be fin-tastic, Flounder!

I sure hope so.

I'm making my new seaweed sauce recipe

so they'll be extra tasty!

Just need to mix up
the sauce, and... and...

-[sneezes]
-[gasps]

That was such a big sneeze, Flounder.
Are you all right?

I think so.

Just a little sniffly, that's all.

[sniffing] Huh...

[exclaims]

[sneezes]

Uh-oh, Flounder. I think
you've got the sea-sniffles.

That means it's time for you
to get some rest.

[gasps] But what about
my delicious snacks?

I've got to finish them!

I can finish them up for you,

but right now you need to get to bed.

[sneezes]

I guess Ariel was right, Lil Wally.

I do have the sniffles.

Why are my sniffles so sniffly?

-[Ariel] Because you're sick, that's why.
-Huh?

But not to worry.
I'm here to take good care of you.

Whoa. Those pholourie snacks
look clam-azing.

Thanks, Flounder. How are you feeling?

I'm feeling...

Ah... [sneezes]

Like I need a nap.

After I have a little snack.

[laughs] Sounds like a great idea.

Here. Why don't you come
snuggle in the big bed?

I get to snuggle in the big bed?

Lil Wally, too?

Lil Wally, too.

Wow! Thanks, Ariel.

Now, don't you worry,

I'll be here to take care of you
as long as you're sick.

I'll tuck you in, read you stories,
and bring more snacks.

[chomping]

Thanks for talking care of me.

You don't have to thank me.
I love taking care of you.

-[sneezes]
-[gasps] That's what best fins do.

Aw.

These turned out so tasty.

I'm glad you like them.

I'm gonna make sure
you have the coziest bed,

and the most delicious
and nutritious food.

When I'm done taking care of you,
you'll feel all better.

Now, here. Let me fluff your pillow.

How's that?

[sighs] Huh?

Lil Wally thinks one more fluff.

[laughs]

[Flounder snoring]

[yawns]

Morning, Lil Wally.

[sniffs, gasps] I'm not sneezing!

Ariel! Great news!
I feel so much better! [gasps]

Ariel?

Oh. I guess she's up early today.

Well, she's going to be
so happy I'm not sick anymore.

Oh, Ariel! I have good news!

-I...
-I love good news. What is it?

Is that... [sniffs]

Kelp-corn soup?

It sure is!

You made that for me?

Of course, I did!

And I'll keep making you food and
taking care of you until you get better.

Mmm...

So, you said you had some good news?

I, uh...

Mmm-hmm?

I, uh...

I feel, like,
a little bit better, but, uh...

-Mmm-hmm?
-I feel very sick.

[sneezes]

That's definitely good news.

I'm sure this nutritious kelp-corn soup
will make you feel even better.

Uh-huh. [slurps]

Mmm.

All right, Flounder.

I'm gonna go get started
on your afternoon snack.

But you can ring this bell
anytime you need me

and I'll come paddling.

Anytime?

Anytime. You're still sick.

Besides, I love taking care of you.

I know I'm not telling
the truth about being sick,

but I like it when Ariel takes care of me,

and she did say that she
loved to take care of me.

Plus, she got me this bell.

Okay, how about this.

I'll just pretend a little longer,

and then I'll tell her the truth...

that I'm not sick anymore.

Yeah, that's what I'll do.

[ringing bell]

I heard the bell. I'm here, Flounder.

Wow! It really works!

-Yes, Flounder?
-May I have some more soup, please?

[ringing bell]

Could you read me another story, please?

[ringing bell]

My pillow's a little flat.

Would you please fluff it?

[ringing bell]

[sighs]

Ah! Ariel's the best.

She's taken really good care of me.

[groans]

But now I should stop lying
and tell her I'm not sick anymore.

Flounder, look who came to see you!

Oh, hey, Fernie, Lucia!

-Hola!
-Bonjou, Flounder.

I bought you "get better" empanadas.

My abuelita made them just for you.

-She did?
-[in Spanish] Claro que si!

-[in English] You're sick.
-How are you feeling?

Uh, I'm feeling... [sniffles]

...a little bit better, but...

Ariel is taking really good care of me.

It's too bad you're sick, though.

We were just telling Ariel
about the big dance festival.

-Dance festival?
-Yep!

There's a dance festival
happening in the marketplace today.

There's gonna be dancing and singing...

And did I mention dancing?

Ooh, I love to dance!

Oh, no, no, hold your seahorses.

Mmm...

You can't go out dancing.

You're still sick, remember?

Oh, right, I'm still sick.

You need to keep resting.

Does that mean you won't
be able to go either, Ariel?

Oh, you have to go.

Just for a little bit. Please.

Um, Flounder...

Is it okay if I go to the festival

for just a little bit
while you take a nap?

By the time you wake up,

I'll be right here
taking care of you again.

Does that sound good?

You should go to the festival
and have fun.

I'll take a nap,

after I have an empanada or two.

[laughs] Come on, friends.
We have a dance festival to get to.

Oh, what do I do, Lil Wally?

I know I'm lying by pretending to be sick,

but I really want to go
to the dance festival.

I guess I could dance right here.

-[♪ upbeat music playing]
-[exclaims]

Oh, it's not the same.

I want to go to the dance festival

so everyone can see my cool moves!

[sighs wearily]

[gasps]

I have an idea!

If I wear a costume,
no one will know it's me!

[grunts]

Oh, yeah!

Okay, so I know I'm lying again by
pretending to be somebody else,

but I'm gonna go to the dance festival
for just a minute.

I'll do a few
of my cool dance moves. Yeah!

And then come back here before
anyone even notices I was gone.

This'll be a piece of kelp-cake.

[♪ upbeat music playing]

What's up, y'all?

This is DJ Navi,
comin' at ya with all the music.

Show me those dance moves, Atlantica! Uh!

This is the best dance festival ever!

All right, Atlantica, you got it!

Now who knows this one?

[♪ upbeat song playing]

Ooh, I do, I do!

All right!

Well, what are you waiting for?

Come on up here, Ariel!

Give it up for Ariel!

Flounder?

Huh? [gasps] Oh, no!

Flounder! Wait!

Flounder? What were you doing
at the festival?

You're sick!

-Well... I...
-Yes?

I need to tell you something.

What is it?

I... Uh... I'm feeling much better.

Well, that's great news!

What I mean is...

I lied!

You lied?

Yes, I lied!

I woke up feeling much better
this morning.

I've been pretending to be sick.

Oh.

Well... Why didn't you
tell me the truth sooner?

[sighs wearily]

It was really nice when
you were taking care of me.

You made me snacks, read me stories,

got me that bell...

I love that bell.

Aw.

So I pretended to be sick

because I wanted you to keep
taking care of me a little longer.

Thanks, Flounder,

but it's wrong to lie about being sick.

I know.

Lil Wally said the same thing.

I'm sorry.

I accept your apology.

You don't need to pretend
to be sick, Flounder.

I'll always take care of you,

because we're best fins,

and best fins take care of each other.

You're my best fin
in the whole wide ocean.

[sniffles]

Uh-oh, Ariel, I think...

[sneezes]

Yep, you got the sea sniffles.

Don't worry, I know just what to do!

[bell tinkling]

You can ring this bell
anytime you need me,

and I'll come paddling.

-Anytime?
-Anytime.

You're sick, and as your best fin,

I'll be right here
to help take care of you.

Time to get you some soup!
