"The Kite Monster."

[Flounder chuckles]

Whee!

[all cheering and laughing]

Flying our spooky-looking
kites during spooky season is so much fun!

It sure is, Ariel.

And the best part is we get to have spooky
fun all day and tell spooky stories.

-Ooh!
-Our friend Clamila

said that in other parts of the ocean,

they call their spooky season
"Halloween." And they dress up, too.

If we celebrated Halloween,
I'd dress up like Senorita Ursula!

[all] We know.

[all chuckling]

Ooh!

And speaking of spooky... Here comes
the spookiest cave in all of Atlantica.

-Yup! You know what that means, Ariel.
-I sure do.

[both breathe in deeply]

[both] Huh?

Uh...

[both exhale]

-What are you doing?
-Yeah, why'd you hold your breath

while you were crossing
the cave's entrance?

Because the Kite Monster inside the cave
would take our kites if we didn't.

-Huh?
-I've never heard of the Kite Monster.

Tell us more!

Well, the Kite Monster
is part jellyfish and part eel.

And he'll take your kite
if you don't hold your breath

while you cross by
this entrance! [echoes]

So, make sure you do.

[chuckling]
But that's so silly.

Why would you
have to hold your breath?

We don't know! But those are the rules,
if you don't want to lose your kite.

Yeah, the Kite Monster
works in mysterious ways!

You don't believe this story
do you, Lucia?

[Lucia breathes deeply]

Really, Lucia?

[exhales]

-[both cheer]
-Now it's your turn, Fernie.

But none of my fish facts books
mention a Kite Monster,

so he can't be real.

But I do remember reading that ghostfish
used to live in that cave before.

G-G-Ghosts?

They're not really ghosts,
Flounder.

That's just their name because they have
see-through, jelly-like skin.

But I read in my fish facts notebook
that they don't live here anymore.

Does it say why they don't?

Hmm...

Actually, it doesn't!

I bet the ghostfish
don't live in the cave anymore

because the Kite Monster
spooked them all away!

-[Ariel chuckles]
-You're all being very silly.

Fernie, the Kite Monster is a spooky story
Flounder and I believe in.

Yeah, and we always talk
about it during spooky season.

-It's part of our tradition.
-Mmm-hmm.

But how can the Kite Monster
be real if he's not in my fish facts book?

Fernie, you don't have to
believe in the Kite Monster.

But just because you don't believe in him,
doesn't mean he isn't real.

Yeah, and maybe
your fish facts book doesn't mention him

because the Kite Monster
wants to keep hiding.

I totally believe
in the Kite Monster now!

Come on, Fernie!
Your turn to cross.

Okay, fine. I'll cross
the cave's entrance,

but I'm not holding my breath.

[♪ tense music playing]

[all] Mm.

See? Everything's okay.
And I still have my...

[all yell]

[Fernie yelling]

The Kite Monster
took your kite!

He sucked it into the cave!

-It was totally him!
-Mmm-hmm!

-It's because you didn't hold your breath!
-[chuckles]

No, it had nothing to do
with holding my breath.

It was just a strong current that blew it
out of my hand and into the cave.

Yeah, but that Kite Monster
made that spooky current!

Yeah, monsters can do
all kinds of spooky things.

Especially during
Spooky Season!

Oh, good guppy, there is
no Kite Monster!

Come on,
let's go get my kite.

[all] Mmm.

You see, I just proved that
the Kite Monster isn't real

because my kite
is right in... Huh?

[gasps] It's not here! See?
The Kite Monster really did take it!

No, that's silly!
There is no Kite Monster!

I'm sure the kite
just got pushed farther inside the cave

by the strong current.

Come on,
let's go look for it.

Why does Fernie keep saying he's not real
when we know he is, Ariel?

Yeah, my abuelita tells me
true stories all the time,

and they're not
in fish fact books.

Okay. The Kite Monster...
what does he eat?

Does he sleep at night
or during the day?

Does he have
any other monster friends?

[squeals]

So many
great questions, Fernie!

Ariel, Flounder, tell us everything we
need to know about the Kite Monster!

Want to, Ariel?

Let's do it, Flounder!

♪ The Kite Monster is hiding somewhere
deep inside this creepy cave ♪

♪ He'll make your scales stand on end
in kind of an exciting way! ♪

♪ Sleeping upside down and swimming
backwards with a ghostly ease ♪

♪ He'll take your kite so fast
I wouldn't wish it on anemones! ♪

[all gasp]

-My kite is gone!
-Mine, too!

Oh, the Kite Monster took
them while we were singing!

I still have my kite.

That Kite Monster's not
getting it from me!

I got fins of steel!

[gasps] Whoa!

[all yelling]

Ahhh!

It's the Kite Monster's
spooky whoosh!

He really wants my kite!
But he's not getting it!

[straining]

We're with you, Flounder!

[all straining]

This is
a really strong current!

It's the Kite Monster!

[strains]

[all scream]

No!

[yelling]

Whoa!

[yelling]

Fernie!
We'll come find you!

Ahh!

[grunting]

Huh? [gasps]

-[Ariel] Fernie!
-Huh?

[Flounder]
Where are you, Fernie?

-Friends?
-[Ariel] Fernie!

I'm over here!

Fernando!

-[Flounder] Where are you?
-[gasps]

I'm here in another tunnel.
Are you all okay?

We're all okay.
We'll come find you.

Thanks, Ariel.
Just be careful.

-[shimmering]
-Huh?

Whoa! Flippity fins!

Ghostfish!

Hey, there! Oh, no!

-I'm sorry I spooked your friends.
-[giggling]

I've never seen ghostfish

-around here before.
-[giggling]

You look so cool.
Did you move back in?

[giggles]

Why aren't you talking?

-Ta-da!
-[Fernie gasps]

Our kites!

Wait a minute.
You took our kites?

-[giggles]
-That was not nice.

[sighs sadly]

-[Ariel] Fernie! Where are you?
-[Lucia] Fernando?

Hey, everyone,
I'm over here! And I found our kites!

There you are.

I sure am.

And now you get to see for yourselves
that there is no Kite Monster.

I just proved
that he isn't real.

Um, how exactly?

Just look at the ghostfish.

Where'd he go?
The ghostfish was right here.

And so were our kites!

But you said
your fish facts book

says that ghostfish
don't live in this cave anymore.

Yeah?

So if your fish facts book
says there are no ghostfish in this cave,

but now you're saying you just saw
a ghostfish... then where are they?

Yeah, because you said you only believe
what's in your fish facts book.

I'm telling you there
were ghostfish! Lots of them.

I spooked all but one away!
And he had all our kites!

You have to believe me!

Fernie, we don't want
to make you sad.

Yeah, whether or not it's in your
fish facts book, we believe you.

You do?

-Yeah.
-We sure do!

Claro que si.

[gasps] I guess
you were all right.

Just because it's not in my fish
facts book, doesn't mean it's not real.

I'm sorry for telling you
the Kite Monster isn't real.

It doesn't matter
if I believe in the story.

What matters
is that you believe.

Thanks, Fernie.

[all giggling]

Let's go home.

[gasps]
Friends, friends, look!

Our kites!

The Kite Monster
gave them back!

Gracias, Kite Monster!

So, who do you think
gave us back our kites?

I think it was my ghostfish.

And...

Well, I think
maybe it could have been, you know...

[both] Yes?

Maybe it was
my ghostfish...

Or?

The Kite Monster!

[all laughing]

Speaking of ghostfish.
Tell us about the ghostfish you saw.

Yeah. Was he nice?

He didn't say much.
Just giggled.

But all our kites were
in there with a bunch of other ones...

Ooh, ooh, ooh! What if the
ghostfish is the Kite Monster?

[all laughing]

[giggles]

[giggles]

I'm the Kite Monster.

Shh! [giggles]

[Flounder]
"The Spooky Mirror Trick."

Fun mer-fact, Lucia: in other parts
of the sea, they celebrate Halloween,

but here in Atlantica,
we celebrate...

[both] Spooky Season!

[giggling]

I love sharing spooky tricks
with my friends!

Yeah, like when we jump out
and surprise each other and say...

-Boo!
-[both exclaim]

[both laughing]

You really spooked us, Ariel.

That was a fun trick.

Boo!

[giggles]

[laughs]

Aw, Flounder.
You're so cute!

[giggles] Thanks. I know
being cute is my thing,

but was I also spooky?

[giggles]

Hmm. Well, it was
a good try, Flounder.

Yeah, you almost spooked us.

Hmm?

Fernie and I
are headed to Ravi's

to grab one of
his Spooky Season smoothies

before we meet up
at the Crystal Cavern later.

Wanna join us?

Uh, go on ahead of us.
Flounder and will meet you there.

-'Kay.
-Hasta luego.

Flounder, are you okay?

Well, my spooky trick
didn't work on Lucia and Fernie.

And I even said, "Boo!"

[giggles]

See? I'm just too cute.

[sighs]

Oh, Flounder, it's okay.

Being cute is fantastic.

Oh, that's true
most of the time.

But it's Spooky Season,
not Cute Season!

And this cute fish right here
wants to be spooky!

Hmm. Well,
maybe you just need practice.

[humming]

Ooh, how about
you spook Sebastian? He's easy to spook.

[gasps] Yeah, you're right!
It'll be a piece of kelp cake!

[Sebastian humming]

Boo!

Hmm. Very cute, Flounder.

I can't even spook Sebastian.

-Aw, Flounder.
-[screams]

[chuckles]
You spooked me, Ariel.

[sighs] I'm just gonna have to face it.
I'm just too cute to be spooky.

Well, don't give up. You just need
to find the right spooky trick.

And maybe ask the spookiest,
trickiest person you know for some help.

[giggles]

Maybe a snack at Ravi's
will help you think. Come on.

Let's go meet up
with our friends.

You go on ahead.

I'll meet you all later
at the Crystal Cavern.

Okay! I'll grab you a snack.

Where am I going to find
the right spooky trick?

Who's the spookiest,
trickiest person I know? Hmm...

I got it!
I know who that is.

Ms. Ursula Ma'am?

Where are you?
Hmm.

-Boo!
-[exclaims]

[giggles]

You got me! That was an
awesome spooky trick!

Thank you, Flounder. Spooky Season
is one of my favorite holidays!

Zim Zam trout, let me out!

Whoa! You really are
the spookiest, trickiest person I know.

Yes, yes, go on.

Well, that's why I'm here.

Will you help me find
the right spooky trick,

so I can spook
my friends today?

Hmm.

Show me your best spooky face.

Hmm... Uh...

Boo!

Go on. I'm waiting.

This is my spooky face.

[tuts]

Yeah, I see the problem!
You're too cute to be spooky!

I know, Ms. Ursula Ma'am.
It's terrible!

How am I gonna be spooky
when my cuteness gets in the way?

I know! Ms. Ursula Ma'am,
would I be able to use...

-Nope!
-I didn't even ask the question yet!

You want to use my magical spooky
mirror to trick your friends.

Yup, that was the question.

Sorry, but you can't use
my magical spooky mirror

to do that spooky
mirror trick.

Why not?

[snaps fingers]

Because only mer-gicians

who have been taught to use
Shark Level magic, can do this trick.

Hmm? Hmm!

And you are here.

You have only been taught
Guppy Level magic.

Which means, you can only
do Guppy Level magic tricks.

Like... [snaps fingers]

Bubble Cabubble!

[giggles]

-Or...
-Huh?

Spin Spin Cascadura Fin!

[giggling]

Those magic tricks
are clam-azing!

But my friends
have seen them all before.

[chuckling]

Well, it looks it's time for me to take
Ebb and Flo out for their daily swim.

Feel free to use any of the Guppy Level
magic tricks that I showed you!

I wish I could try
this Spooky Mirror trick on my friends.

I know I'd finally spook them
and they'd love it!

The spell seems so simple.
I saw Ms. Ursula Ma'am do it.

I'll just borrow
the magical mirror, spook my friends,

then bring the mirror back
before Ms. Ursula Ma'am gets back!

Yep! That's exactly
what I'll do!

Flounder! We brought you
a Spooky Smoothie Delight!

Where's Flounder?

Huh...

Where did this mirror
come from?

-Boo!
-[all exclaim]

[all] Whoa!

[all giggling]

You did it, Flounder,
you did it!

You really spooked us
this time!

That was such a fun
spooky trick!

I knew this spooky mirror
trick would work!

I finally got
to be the spooky one!

So, how are you gonna get
back out of the mirror?

Oh, that's easy.

Uh... Zim Z... uh,
Zim Zam... vroom. No.

What was it
Ms. Ursula Ma'am said?

[all] Uh...

Oh, right!

Zim Zam bass, let me pass!

Yay, I did it!

Hey! Where did everyone go?

-[Ariel] We're over here!
-Huh?

-[knocking on mirror]
-[Fernie and Lucia] In here!

Oh no! I must have done
the magic spell wrong!

And when I zapped myself
out of the mirror, I zapped you into it!

It's okay, Flounder,
we're all right.

You just have to say the right spell
and get us out of here, okay?

Okay! Just as soon
as I remember it.

But let me try this.

[all exclaim]

-Sorry! No, that didn't work.
-[all groan]

Lucia! You must know the spell
for Ursula's Spooky Mirror trick.

No, Flounder.
I don't know that spell.

I'm still a Guppy Level
mergician, like you.

The Spooky Mirror Trick
is a Shark Level magic trick

and you have
to be taught how to use it.

Flounder! [gasps]

Did Tauntie Ursula teach you
how to do a Shark Level magic trick?

Well, she didn't really
sorta kinda teach me...

[gasps] You did a Shark Level
magic trick without being taught?

And without
Senorita Ursula's permission?

Oh, my fins!

I know I shouldn't have.

It's just... I love
Spooky Season so much.

But every time I try
to spook someone,

it doesn't work, because
I'm too cute to be spooky.

[all agree]

See?

Boo!

-[all laugh]
-So cute.

You're cute, all right.

I just wanted to be spooky
for once.

And now, I made a mess
of everything.

I'm really sorry.

Oh, Flounder.

We understand not being able to spook us
during Spooky Season was making you sad.

But it doesn't make it okay for you to use

things that you haven't been
taught to use.

And now, your friends are
stuck inside a mirror.

[sighs] I know. I have
to tell Ms. Ursula Ma'am what I've done.

And she'll help me
get you out.

Come on, friends. [grunts]

Ms. Ursula Ma'am?

You're back,
my little angelfish.

And with my spooky mirror.

Yes. I'm sorry for taking your spooky
mirror without your permission.

Go on.

And I'm really sorry
that I used a Shark Level magic trick

when I shouldn't have.

Because now my friends
are stuck inside the mirror.

-Hi, Tauntie!
-Hola.

Hmm...

I know I made a big mistake
and I will never do it again.

Well, in that case...

I accept your apology.

-Zim Zam trout...
-[gasps]

Let them out!

[all cheering]

Thanks, Ms. Ursula Ma'am.

[chuckles]

Now that we're all back,
what should we do?

Spooky Season
is not over yet...

Yeah, we still have time
for a few more spooky tricks!

Is that okay, Flounder?
Or do you want to do something else?

Oh, no! I'm just going to have to be okay
with being this cute, and not spooky.

But that doesn't mean
I won't stop trying!

[all cheering]

That's the spirit, Flounder.

And I have a special
Guppy Level trick for you

that's the perfect amount
of spooky. Are you ready?

So ready!

[Sebastian humming]

Hmm? [yells]

[Flounder laughs]

It's me, Sebastian. I did a Guppy Level
Disappear-O Spell! On myself!

Good one, Flounder!
You really spooked me.

I did?

Hey, I did!

Did you hear that?
Did you hear what he said?

-[Ursula] We sure did!
-[Sebastian screams]

[all laughing]

I love Spooky Season!

-Boo!
-[all laugh]
