[laughs]

Whoo!

Oh! Uh…

[giggles]

Hey, hey!

- Oh, yeah!
- Oh, yeah!

Red Fish, Blue Fish

[Red Fish exclaims]

Mm?

Puh! [babbles]

[both giggle]

[gasps] Ooh! Nervous!

{\an8}Ooh.

{\an8}Ah! [giggles]

{\an8}Ah, ah, ah! Confident!

{\an8}- Oh? Uh…

{\an8}Oh.

{\an8}[laughing]

La-la-la-la la-la-la-la!

- Ha-ha!
- Huh? Hey, hey!

[narrator] Red Fish and Blue Fish
were swimming around.

- Oh! Uh…
- Huh?

When they suddenly noticed
a circus in town.

- Ah.
- Ooh.

[Blue Fish giggles]

- Yeah!
- Oh!

- Hi!

Huh?

{\an8}- Oh, ha-ha! Oh!

Hmm. Hey!

Shh!

{\an8}- Eeh!

{\an8}- Phew!

- [crying inside the tent]
- Oh?

- Oh?
- Huh?

[sobbing]

Aww.

[narrator] Blue asked the ringleader
if he was alright…

[sobs]

…but he said he didn't have
any performers tonight.

[sniffles]

Eesh.

- Uh…
- Mm.

Oh? Ha-ha-ha!

- [sobbing]
- [Red Fish] Ha-ha-ha.

[narrator] Red and Blue told him
they knew a few tricks.

They could perform and get in the mix.

Confident!

Ha-ha! Yay!

- Ha-ha-ha!
- Whoa!

[ringleader] Ah-ha!

[circus music playing]

[narrator] Music started playing
from inside the tents,

as the ringleader
welcomed all ladies and gents.

[narrator] He promised them drama,
excitement and action,

and directed their attention
to the very first attraction.

Mwah! Mwah! [laughs]

[narrator] It was a tightrope,
one that went higher.

Now Red and Blue
had to balance on the wire.

[grunts] Oh!

[whimpering]

Nervous.

Ha-ha-ha! Confident!

Ay-ya-cha-cha. Cha-cha!

Whee!

Uh-huh!

[swallows]

Ha-ha!

- [chuckles]
- [whimpers]

Oh, yeah!

- [whimpering]
- Hmm!

[narrator] But that wasn't it.
No, that wasn't all.

They juggle some items
and try not to fall.

[exclaiming]

Ha-ha!

Yay!

Oh, yeah!

Oh!

[cheering]

Aah!

[screams]

- Phew.

Ha-ha!

Oh?

- Woo-hoo!

Ha-ha!

{\an8}- Ah!
- Ha-ha!

- Ha-ha-ha!
- Yeah, ha ha!

[narrator] Now it was time
for trick number two.

The crowd would not believe
the trick they could do.

The ringleader tossed an apple to Red.

Ah!

[narrator] And Blue would use an arrow
to knock it off their head.

- Ah!
- [whimpering]

[drumroll]

[swallows]

[whimpering]

Nervous.

Uh…

Confident! Uh-huh!

[arrow whistles]

Huh?

Yay, yay! Huh?

Whoa! Hey!

Yeow!

[growls]

Whoa!

Whoa-whoa-whoa!

Ha-ha!

- Uh…
- Ha-ha!

[narrator] Oh, what an act.

Oh, what suspense.

But then the crowd started
to feel quite tense.

- Ha-ha-ha!
- [lion growls]

Ha-ha-ha.

Hm? Huh?

[Red Fish whimpering]

[whimpering]

[narrator] Blue jumped in
and gave a smile to boot,

because Blue Fish was confident
in the power of being cute!

[triumphant music playing]

[magical whoosh]

Huh?

Aww!

Ah!

- [lion cooing adoringly]
- [giggles]

Hee-hee.

Ah-boo-boo.

Huh? Ah!

He-he-hey!

Whoa! Whoa! Ha-ha-ha!

[narrator] It wasn't exactly
how they thought it would go,

but Red Fish and Blue Fish
made an entertaining show!

- Ha-ha!
- [crowd cheers]

[humming]

Comfortable. Hm.

Woo-hoo!

- Oh!

Whoa!

[narrator] Red Fish and Blue Fish
were camping tonight,

and they're ready
to hike to their campsite.

A-ha!

Ha-ha-ha!

[exclaiming]

[grunting] Ah!

and gave a little huff.

{\an8}[narrator] Red didn't need
to bring any of this stuff!

[grunts] Ooh.

Upstairs!

Wah!

[both laughing]

[narrator] Deep in the ocean
where sea creatures play,

Blue is dressed up like a doctor today.

[humming]

A-ha!

Oh? Uh-huh?

Mm…

Hmm… Oh!

[narrator] But while Blue was busy
playing with their toys,

they suddenly heard a very strange noise.

[humming happily]

Downstairs.
