[Ariel] "Petting Zoo Day."

[Fernie] I'm so happy
for Petting Zoo Day

I wonder what cute animals
we'll get to pet today?

[giggles] Who knows?

But my Tantie Chantale
always puts together the best Petting Zoos

That's true!

I'm so excited
to pet some sea bunnies.

I've been practicing
on this rock.

I think petting
the real sea bunnies

is gonna be a lot better.

[Ariel, Fernie
and Lucia giggle]

Good thing Senorita Chantale
asked us to help out.

We should hurry
before we're too late.

Come on friends, let's paddle.

[♪ cheerful music playing]

-[Ariel] Hi, Tantie.
-[Lucia] Hola.

Bonjour.

Hi, Ms. Chantale Ma'am.

Hey, kids.

Thank you so much for volunteering
to help out with the Petting Zoo today.

Happy to help.

I've been doing
a lot of practicing.

Ooh, nice petting, Flounder.

But how about I show you
the real animals instead?

Follow me.

Here's what I need
your help with.

Make sure the younger kids
don't get too excited around the animals.

But I always get excited
around animals.

What's wrong with that?

Because, sometimes
younger kids can get too excited.

Right, Tantie?

That's right, Ariel.

And they don't mean
to do anything wrong,

but sometimes

they can get a bit
too rough with the animals

or too loud,
which can startle them.

That doesn't sound good.

It sure doesn't, Lucia.

So, it's up to us
to teach the younger kids

how to be gentle

and to use quiet words.

-Got it?
-[all] Got it!

[shushes]

[all whisper] Got it.

Sea-sational!

Now, let me show you
all the animals.

[barking]

The best way
to be gentle with dogfish

is by holding your
hand out first,

so they know you're friendly.

-Here, Coqui.
-[barking continues in distance]

[sniffs and pants]

Dogfish are so fin-tastic.

-[giggles]
-[Coqui barks]

They are.

Now, let's move along
to the catfish section.

Now, the best way
to be gentle with catfish

is to use kind hands.

What does it mean
"to use kind hands" Senorita Chantale?

Good question, Lucia.

It means you
pet them gently, like this.

And if you're doing
a good job at petting them,

-they'll purr.
-[purrs]

Aw, how cute.

Ms. Chantale
petting zoo expert Ma'am,

are we gonna go check out
the sea bunnies next?

[giggles]

Would you like to check out
the sea bunnies next, Flounder?

Yes. I've been petting
this rock all morning.

I'm so ready to pet
the real cutie itty-bitty sea bunnies now.

Okay, Flounder. [chuckles]

We won't keep you
waiting any longer.

Yeah! [in sing-song voice]
♪ I'm gonna pet a sea bunny. ♪

-♪ I'm gonna pet a sea bunny. ♪
-[all giggle]

-[dogfish barking]
-[sea bunnies squeaking]

-And here they are. The sea bunnies.
-Sea bunnies!

-[squeals]
-[gasps]

[trembling]

[gasps]

Uh, why are the sea bunnies
doing that?

[shushes softly]

Everything is okay.

Now, Flounder.

The best way to be gentle
with sea bunnies

is to use soft,
quiet words around them

so they don't get scared.

So, let's try not
to squeal anymore, okay?

Got it, Ms. Chantale Ma'am.

-And try not to be so cute, sea bunnies.
-[squeaks]

Okay, time to pick
our sections.

Ooh, can I be in charge
of the dogfish section?

You got it.

Ooh, I'll take
the catfish section.

Sure thing, Lucia.

Now, do I even need to ask
about the sea bunnies?

-Ooh, oh, oh, oh.
-[Ariel, Fernie, and Lucia giggle]

Okay, Flounder.

You can be in charge
of the sea bunny section.

-Just remember what I told you.
-Uh-huh.

I'll remember,
Ms. Chantale Ma'am.

[chuckles] Great.

Now that everyone
has their sections,

we're ready to open
the petting zoo.

What about me?
What section should I go to, Tantie?

Oh, I didn't forget
about you, Ariel.

You'll be at the front gate
welcoming the younger kids.

Then you can check in
on how everybody else is doing.

How's that sound?

That sounds clam-azing.

Sea-sational.

You can use this clipboard
to check off each section.

It'll be a piece of kelp cake.

Okay, now we can
open the Petting Zoo.

Ariel, care to open the gate?

Mmm-hmm.

Hello. Welcome
to the Petting Zoo.

-[Bembe] Whoo-hoo!
-[Jewels squeals]

Yay!

I'm so excited.

-Hey, everyone.
-[all gasp]

So happy you're here,

but in order not
to startle the animals,

we need to be
gentle with them,

and being gentle also means
using soft, quiet words,

like this.

[Bembe, Jewels,
and Remy softly] Okay.

Great job, Ariel, reminding
the younger kids how to be gentle.

Thanks, Tantie.

Since you've got this,

I'll be over
at the eels section.

Just make sure to check in
on your friends at their sections, okay?

I'm on it.

Okay, time to check in
on my friends.

Hmm.

I think I'll go over
to the dogfish section first,

and see how Fernie's doing.

Welcome, everyone.

-[barking]
-Meet our dogfish,

Shaggy, Irie, and Coqui.

-[Mer-kids] Yay!
-They're so cute. I love puppies.

[Fernie] They're very friendly
and love to be pet.

But remember,
it's very important

to gently hold out
your hand, or fin, first.

-[barks]
-Like this.

[sniffs and pants]

That way they know
you're friendly.

-Here Bembe...
-[barks]

...why don't you try
and hold your fin out to Irie?

[barks]

Okay.

[sniffs]

I did it!

Great job, Fernie. [scribbles]

Now to check in on Lucia.

I bet she's doing a fin-tastic job
demonstrating how to pet a catfish

-[Mer-kids squealing]
-Hey, everybody.

Meet our catfish,

-Jade, Mona and Cobby.
-[both meow]

They're super soft,

and when you
pet them just right...

[purrs]

...they purr.

Ooh, I want to try.

-[meows]
-[gasps]

Uh...

-[gasps]
-Oh, careful, Remy.

Remember to be gentle

when petting an animal.

What did
Senorita Chantale say?

That's right. We need
to use kind hands and not pet too fast.

[meows]

-Whoa.
-[purrs]

-She's purring.
-[Lucia giggles]

Hey. Nice save, Lucia.

Phew. Thanks, Ariel.

Everything is going
so well. [scribbles]

Now, it's time to check on Flounder
at the sea bunny section

I'm sure he's got it
all under control.

[squeaking]

The sea bunnies are cute,
but don't squeal.

Uh, Flounder?

[♪ tense music playing]

You can't squeal.

[grunting]

-Don't... do it.
-[exclaims]

-But look at their cute eyes.
-[squeaks]

[struggling]

Flounder, remember
what Tantie Chantale said?

I'm trying.

-And look at their little ears.
-[struggles]

Flounder, whatever you do,
don't squeal.

[gags]

[♪ music intensifies]

-[loud squeal]
-[gasps]

[squeaking]

Oh.

I'm sorry, Ariel.

I couldn't hold it in.

They were just too cute.

It was the ears that did it.

-[♪ solemn music playing]
-[sighs] From now on

I'll just pet the rock.

-[sniffles and sobs]
-[Ariel] Oh, don't cry.

We'll bring those
sea bunnies home.

Ariel, what's
the sea-mergency?

The sea bunnies got out
of their pen, Tantie.

But don't worry,
I've got a plan.

[♪ compelling music playing]

It's okay, Flounder.

You made a mistake.

We can still fix it.

But...

but how?

By going on a sea bunny
scavenger hunt.

What do you say?

I say...

let's do it!

[Ariel] Let's split up
and look for those five sea bunnies.

We can bring them here back to this basket
after we've calmed them down.

Got it.

To find a sea bunny,

you've gotta act
like a sea bunny.

Boing. Boing. Boing. Boing.

Excuse me, have you seen
any sea bunnies around here?

-[squeaks]
-Little, cute...

Huh?

Hmm.

[softly] I found you.
[chuckles]

[coos and squeaks]

-Have you seen a sea bunny around here?
-[squeaking]

Huh?

[♪ upbeat music playing]

-[squeaking]
-[grunting]

-[pops]
-Gotcha.

I'm not squealing
at your cuteness this time.

-Huh?
-[giggling]

[giggles]

[sea bunny squeaking
in distance]

I'll grab the one
by the statue's tail.

And I'll grab the one bouncing
on Mr. Statue King Triton Sir's head.

-[both] Gently, of course.
-[Ariel giggles]

[squeaks]

[giggles]

[Flounder] Don't worry,
little sea bunny.

[shushes]

I've got you,

safe and sound.

Great job, Flounder.

-[♪ cheerful music playing]
-Thanks, Ariel.

We did it.

-[giggles]
-[sea bunnies squeaking]

Come on.

Let's get these sea bunnies
back where they belong.

Who wants to see
a basket of bunnies?

[Mer-kids] Yeah, I do,
I do, I do.

[Jewels] Sea bunnies.

-[squeaks]
-[shushes]

[softly] Remember?
We have to be quiet.

[softly] I wanna try it.

-[squeaks]
-[softly] It's okay, little sea bunnies.

-[squeaking]
-You're home now.

[chuckles]

[Chantale] Ariel, Flounder,

how did you catch
all the sea bunnies?

By being gentle and quiet.

[giggles]

The sea bunny section
is officially open... again

[shushes]

A check for Flounder
for no longer squealing.

And a check for Ariel

for a job well done.

Thanks, Tantie. [chuckles]

Now it's my turn
to do something

I've wanted to do all day.

[giggles] And what's that?

Pet the animals. [giggles]

[Ariel] "New Squid in Town."

I'm so excited we're getting
to the playground early, Fernie.

Me too, Lucia.

The line for the swing
can get very long.

It is a good swing.

[new kid giggles]

[new kid] Whee! [giggles]

-[Lucia] Oh, my fins.
-[new kid] Whee!

There's no line
and just one kid

-swinging on the swing.
-[new kid] Whee!

-That means we're next.
-[laughs]

[both in sing-song voice]
We're gonna be swinging in no time.

-I hope Ariel and Flounder get here soon.
-Mmm-hmm.

[Ariel humming]

[Flounder exclaiming]

Flounder, remember
that thing

we were supposed
to be doing together?

Was it play hide and seek?

-Do a clap game?
-Mmm-mmm.

Sing a song?

[giggles] No. I'll give
you a hint.

[whispers] We were
picking up our toys

so we can meet up
with Fernie and Lucia at the park.

[gasps] Oh, right.

But Lil Wally wanted
to go for a spin, first.

[both giggle]

And now, it's nap time
for you, Mister.

[kisses and pats]

Okay, I'm ready to paddle.
Are you?

Yep, it's paddle time.

[new kid laughing
and exclaiming]

-Hi, Lucia.
-Hola.

-Hi, Fernie. [chuckles]
-Bonjour.

-[new kid] Yippee!
-[Ariel] Wow.

I've never seen a line so long

to play on the swing.

That's because there's
a kid on the swing...

And he's not letting
any of us have a turn.

Yeah! Woo-hoo!

Yippee!

Whee!

[Flounder] I've never
seen him before.

He must be a new kid
at the playground.

-And he's a very young kid.
-[new kid giggles]

Maybe he doesn't know
the playground rules.

Did you try going up
and talking to him?

No, we didn't.

Well, Ariel taught me that the best way
to make friends with somebody

is just swim right up,
and use your voice and talk to them.

Right, Ariel?

That's right, Flounder.

I'll go talk to him.

Yippee! [giggles]

-Uh, excuse me.
-[new kid] Whoo-hoo.

Hello?

-[exclaims and giggles]
-I'm Ariel.

Look at my cool flip.

Whee!

I'm having so much fun.

Wow, he really loves
that swing.

-Yeah, but so does everyone else.
-Mmm-hmm.

What are we gonna do, Ariel?

Hmm...

Well, maybe he couldn't
hear me since he was having so much fun.

Let me try again.

-Hi, there.
-[giggling]

Could we use...

I'm trying...

to talk to...

you.

[sighs] Flounder's right.

The new kid really
does love that swing.

[Fernie] Doesn't look like
it will get a turn

anytime soon.

How about we go play
on the slide instead?

Yes. No one's
on it right now.

So we'll each take turns.

Fin-tastic! Let's go.

The slide is also
my favorite. [giggles]

Oh.

Can I go first?

Sure. Then we'll go next.

Great. We finally get to play.

-Yippee!
-[screams]

Whoo-hoo!

Bubbling beardfish!

-How did he get here so fast?
-Uh...

Hey, he cut
in front of Flounder.

That's not nice.

[new kid] Whee!

[giggling]

There has to be a good reason
he's acting this way.

Whee! [giggles]

I'm going to try
talking to him.

-Hi there, uh, new kid?
-Whoo-hoo!

-We were wondering...
-Whee!

Wee! I'm having

-so much fun.
-If you wouldn't mind...

-[new kid] Whoo-hoo!
-Uh...

-Hi.
-Whoo!

Now I'm going up.

-Excuse me. Huh?
-Now I'm going back down.

-Hello?
-Up. Down.

-Could we... use... Hi, there.
-Up. [giggles]

Ariel tried using
her voice again, but it didn't work.

Phew.

Looks like we won't get a turn
on the slide, either.

-[new kid giggling]
-[catching breath] Okay.

[exhales] How about we play
something else?

[new kid] Yippee!

We could... Nah.

-Or we could...
-[all sigh]

What if we...

-Hmm.
-Hint, hint, hint.

[all] How about fin-ball!

[♪ cheerful music playing]

Whoo-hoo. Fin-ball.

Okay, everybody do
their coolest fin-ball kick.

You wanna go first, Flounder?

Yeah. Check it out.

I call this fin-ball kick
the Flounder Grounder. [chuckles]

Nice one, Flounder.

I'm gonna call this one,
the Fin Spin.

-Whoo.
-So cool.

[Ariel] Yeah.

[giggles]

Coming your way, Fernie.

-I got it, I got it.
-[new kid] I got it.

Whoa, whoa.

Whoa. I thought I had it.

He's taking over again.

-Got it.
-Oh.

-Got that one, too.
-Hey.

[new kid giggling]

Look at me go.
I'm so much fun.

Ha-ha. Whoo-hoo! Ha-ha.

Well, that didn't
work, either.

There's got to be
something we can play.

Yeah, something where
the new kid can't take over.

[Lucia] I know.

How about we play jump rope?

Great idea.

Okay. Lucia and I will spin the rope
and you two can jump first.

[Flounder] Fin-tastic!

I wanna play jump rope.

[giggles]

[Flounder] Huh?

Wha... Uh...

[sighs]

-[new kid] Whee!
-And now he's back on the swing.

What should we do now, Ariel?

You tried to talk
to him so many times,

but it just didn't work.

I really did try.

-[new kid giggling]
-[sighs]

-Maybe we should just go.
-Whoo-hoo!

I guess he really doesn't
want to make new friends.

Wait!

-[all] Huh?
-[new kid] I do want to make new friends.

[all] You do?

Yes, I do.

Don't you wanna be friends

with me?

[Ariel and Flounder] Uh.

[Lucia and Fernie] Hmm.

[♪ moody music playing]

Of course, we do.

What makes you think
we don't want to be your friend?

Because I've been trying to be friends
with you the whole time.

[all] You have?

Yes. [sniffles]

Uh, how exactly have you been
trying to be our friend?

Yeah, what she said.

Well, every time
you came up to me,

I started to do cool tricks.

Those were
some really cool tricks.

Thanks.

That's why I showed you
my cool flips on the swing,

and how fast I could slide,
and how high I could jump.

I wanted to show you
how much fun I am to play with,

so that you'd all want
to be friends with me.

Jumping jellyfish, that's it!

Now it all makes sense.

[all] It does?

[chuckles] Yeah.

He wasn't trying to be mean

or not share the playground.

He's just young and thought

this was the best way
to make new friends.

Is that right?

Yes. I really was trying
to make new friends.

You all seem
so friendly and nice.

[both chuckle] Oh, I get it.

Oh.

I don't.

Well, Flounder,

sometimes kids don't know
how to make new friends.

So, instead of just
asking to be friends,

they just do things
to get your attention.

But you didn't have to do all of that
to make friends with us.

All you need to do
to make friends with somebody,

is just use your voice
and talk to them.

Really?

Uh-huh. Ariel's been trying to talk
and make friends with you this whole time.

By using your voice?

It's the best way
to make a new friend.

Let me show you.

We love making friends.

Totally tails we do.

But you have
to do one thing for us.

What is it?

Please tell us your name.

[giggles] Oh, yeah.

We can't call you the new kid
