[Ariel] "Best in Ebb
and Flow."

-[all whooping]
-[Ariel] Yeah!

[laughing]

And Fernie takes the lead.

[giggles]

[Ariel] Whoo-hoo!

Now Lucia takes the lead.

[Lucia laughs]

But here comes Flounder!

[thuds]

[Flounder laughing]

Whoa. I got you, Flounder.

Maybe we all need
to slow down.

[girl] Excuse me.

-Sorry.
-[all exclaim]

[all exclaiming]

Whoa, where is everyone
rushing off to?

Let's go see.

Huh.

I wonder what all these
folks are doing here with their pets.

Hey, let's ask
my Tauntie Chantale.

-Hi, Tauntie.
-Hi, Ariel. Hey, kids.

-Hola!
-Bonjour.

Hi, Ms. Chantale, ma'am.

What's everybody doing here?

Well, today is
the Atlantica pet show,

where anyone can
bring their pets

to show off all
the cool tricks they can do.

-Ooh.
-Wow.

-Amazing.
-[giggles]

[Tica barks]

-Okay, Tica.
-[barks]

Ooh, it looks like Delfino's
entering Tica in the pet show.

And Ronaldo has
a pet sea bunny.

[giggling]

Let's go say hi.

[Ariel] Hi, Delfino.

-Hey, Ariel.
-Hi, Tica.

[giggles]

Are you going to be in the big pet show?

-Hmm?
-[barks]

[giggles] She sure is, Ariel.

Tica is gonna do
a really fun flip trick that I taught her.

And my sea bunny's
gonna do a bouncy spin trick.

[laughing]

Right now, we're off
to go practice

our tricks a little more
before the show starts.

See you at the pet show.

Raise your fins and hands

if you're thinking
what I'm thinking.

Uh, what are we thinking?

That we want to enter
a pet in the show.

Yeah, but there's one problem.

Which is?

[all] We don't have a pet.

Oh. [chuckles]
I knew that.

-[all laugh]
-[Ursula] Here you go, Ebb.

This way, Flow.

[gasps]

Maybe we can enter
Senorita Ursula's pet eels into the show.

That's a clam-mazing idea.

Come on, let's go ask her.

[Ariel] Tauntie Ursula.
Tauntie Ursula.

Did you hear about
the big pet show?

Sure did.
I can't wait to see it.

We were thinking
we could enter Ebb and Flow in the show.

Yeah, and teach them
some tricks.

Hmm. Ebb, Flow,
what do you think?

Want to be in the pet show?

[both chittering]

[laughs] Sounds fun.

But are you sure about
teaching them tricks?

Teaching a pet new tricks
can be, well, tricky.

We're super sure,
Ms. Ursula, pet-mom, ma'am.

Well, if you really think so.

♪ Let me tell you something
about Ebb and Flow ♪

♪ If you want to teach them tricks
then you should know ♪

♪ Ebb's got a sting
Turns purple and pink ♪

♪ And Flow turns
green and yellow ♪

♪ Each one unique ♪

♪ You're gonna see ♪

♪ They've got a style
that's of their own ♪

♪ 'Cause every pet
is different ♪

♪ Just like me and you ♪

♪ And if you're nice
and patient ♪

♪ Then you'll see
what each can do ♪

Listen now.

♪ Ebb barks real low
Flow barks real high ♪

♪ Flow swims slow
Ebb is fast and sly ♪

♪ Flow likes Calypso
and Ebb likes Soca ♪

♪ They might look the same
But don't forget I told ya ♪

-♪ Every pet is different ♪
-[giggling]

♪ Just like me and you ♪

♪ And if you're nice
and patient ♪

♪ Then you'll see
what each can do ♪

So, yes.

You may enter Ebb and Flow
into the pet show.

Just remember what
I told you.

[all] Every pet is different.

[giggles] Yup, you got it.

Bye.

We're all signed up
for the pet show, Ms. Chantale.

Sea-sational.

Each pet gets to do
one special trick for the crowd.

[Ariel] Great.

Fernie and I will
teach Ebb a trick.

And Flounder and I
will teach Flow.

Fantastic. You better
get going, though.

The show is starting
very soon.

[gasps] Let's go.

[eels chitter]

Now, what kind of
fantastic trick should we teach you, Ebb?

[Delfino laughing]

-That's it, Tica.
-[barking]

Flip. [laughs]

Look, Fernie.
Tica did a cool flip.

I bet Ebb could do
a cool flip.

[Ronaldo]
Great spin, buddy.

[chuckles]

[Fernie] Or maybe Ebb
can do a bouncy spin,

like Ronaldo's sea bunny.

Why not both a flip
and a spin?

We can call it
the Flip and Spin.

-[giggles]
-Great idea, Ariel.

-High fin!
-Okay, Ebb.

Let's teach you
the Flip and Spin trick.

Just copy what we do.

First you flip.

Then you spin.

-Got it?
-[chitters]

I think that means
he's got it.

[giggles]

Okay, Ebb. Now flip.

Then spin.

Why isn't Ebb
doing the trick?

Let's keep trying.

-Spin.
-Flip.

-Spin. Spin.
-Flip. Flip.

Maybe eels aren't actually
good at learning new tricks.

[Flounder] Wow, Flow.

What a great trick.

[gasps]

-Bravo, bravo!
-Yeah, Flow!

So cool.

That was fin-omenal.

Thanks. We call it
the Swirly Whirly.

How did you teach Flow
to do that trick?

Yeah, we can't get
Ebb to follow any of our directions.

Flow really likes
these kibble bits.

Each time we
give her one,

she does a body wave
and changes color.

Then, she does
the trick.

Watch.

[munches]

[both] Swirly Whirly.

[chittering]

Great job, Flow.

Way to go, Flow.

Jumping jellyfish.
That's it.

Fernie, we just need to get
Ebb a kibble bit.

Oh, Flounder, can we use
some of your kibble bits?

You sure can.

Then, he'll do a body wave,
change colors, and?

Then he'll do the trick.

Just like Flow did.

Let's try it.

Look, Ebb.
Here's a yummy kibble bit.

-Mmm.
-It's going to work this time, Fernie.

I just know it.

He did the body wave.

And he changed colors.

He's gonna do it.

Huh, I don't get it.

[sniffs]

I think he wants
another one.

Come on, Ebb.

Flip and spin.

How about
a teenie-tiny flip?

[chittering]

Ugh. Ebb, this is
supposed to be trick time.

Not kibble time.

Fernie, I just remembered
that my Tauntie said

every pet is different.

And they like
different things, too.

We just have to try
something else.

And then maybe, just maybe,
he'll do the trick.

Okay, let's keep trying.

Come on, Ebb,
let's try something else.

-[Ebb munching]
-Huh?

[Fernie] Oh, good guppy.

Sorry, Ebb,
no more kibble for you.

[sighs in exasperation]

Okay, the kibble
didn't work.

So what should we try next
to get Ebb to do the trick?

[Ronaldo whistling]

[sea bunny exclaiming]

Hey, Ronaldo's sea bunny
does a trick when Ronaldo whistles.

Why don't we try that?

Hey, that might work.

Come on, Ebb.
Do you like whistles?

-[chitters]
-[Ariel] Okay, Ebb.

When I whistle,

we want you to flip
and spin, okay?

[whistles]
You can do it, Ebb.

[whistling]

[both whistling]

Okay. [sighs]

I don't think the whistles
are gonna work.

[sighs]

[Chantale] Get your
pets ready, Mer-kids.

The pet show is
starting right n ow.

Oh, no.
We're out of time.

Which means Ebb is not
ready for the show.

But I guess we can still
watch the other pets do their tricks.

Yeah, you're right.

Come on, Ebb.
Let's go watch Flow do her trick.

-Yes! Great job, Flow.
-Whoo-hoo.

-Go, Flow. Yeah.
-[audience cheering]

-[chitters]
-Aw, it's okay, Ebb.

You tried your best
to do the trick.

Yeah, maybe we'll
try again next time.

Who's a fin-tastic
little eel?

You are, Ebb.
Yes, you are.

-[both gasp]
-Ebb just did the Flip and Spin.

How did you get him
to do that, Fernie?

I'm not sure.

All I did was give
him a belly rub.

Well, try it again.

Give him another
belly rub.

-Let's see if he'll do the trick.
-Mmm-hmm.

Who's a fin-tastic
little eel?

You are, Ebb.
Yes, you are.

Yes! You did it, Fernie.

Tauntie Ursula was right.

Every pet is different.

We just had to find out
what Ebb really likes.

And what he
really likes is...

[both] Belly rubs!
[laughing]

Let's go. There's still
time to join the pet show.

[crowd cheering]

Wait a minute, fish-folk.

Looks like we have one
more pet trick to see.

-Come on, Ebb.
-Flip and spin.

-[whooping]
-Yeah!

[all cheering]

Wow!

I knew my babies
could do it.

I'm so proud.

Weren't those some
phenomenal pet tricks, folks?

Who wants to see that again?

[audience cheering]

[Ariel] "Me, My Shell, and I."

[both laughing]

[grunts]

[Flounder whoops, grunts]

[giggles, grunts]

Watch this.

[grunts]

[both laugh]

I love playing fin-ball
with you, Flounder.

It's a lot of fun.

So much fun.
And the best part is,

we still have the whole day
left to play together.

But first,
how about a snack?

You want fruit?
I have it.

You want a veggie snack?
I've got that, too.

[chuckles] Well, actually...

Or we could just
keep playing.

Sounds fun,
Flounder, but...

Oh, I know, we could
come up with some new knock-knock jokes.

Or we could play
our instruments.

Oh! Oh, or we could
bake a cake.

-But...
-[Flounder] Wait.

We could tell knock-knock
jokes while playing our instruments

and baking a cake.

[laughs] That's
a really fun idea.

But I was planning on
doing something else now.

Oh, like what?

I'm going to explore
the open sea by myself.

By yourself?

Yeah, I want to learn new fish facts
and write them in my notebook.

Hmm.

I'll see you later.

By himself?

But if Fernie was
having so much fun with me,

why is he leaving
to be by himself?

Hmm.

Maybe my ideas for playtime
weren't fun enough for him.

[gasps] That must be it.

Which means...

I just need to come up
with something even more fun

and more fantastic.

Yeah, that's it.

Then Fernie will definitely want
to play with me for the rest of the day.

[Ariel] Don't move, Lucia.

[sighs in relief]

You did it, Ariel.

You pulled a piece out
without toppling the tower.

[both gasp]

Oops. I'm so sorry, friends.

I'll help pick up
the shells.

[laughs] It's okay,
Flounder, we got it.

Thanks.

Why are you rushing around?

I'm trying to figure out
a really fun thing to play with Fernie.

What do you think
Fernie would like more?

Playing dress-up
or jumping rope?

Those are both
good choices.

Yeah, but Fernie
loves jump rope.

Yeah, and he's
so good at it.

Then jump rope it is.

Thanks for your help.

[Ariel] Hmm.

[giggles]

Oh, Fernie.

Hey, Flounder.
What are you doing here?

I came to play
jump rope with you,

since you love
jump rope so much.

That is true, but...

Ooh, and I even came up
with a new jump rope song on my way here.

Check it out.

♪ Little miss
trout, trout, trout ♪

♪ Wanted a spout,
spout, spout ♪

♪ But she didn't have
one, one, one ♪

♪ So she thought
she was done, done, done ♪

[laughs] Whoo-hoo!

[laughs] That's such
a fun song.

But I already had plans
to be alone for a while, remember?

Huh... are you sure?

I'm sure. I'm gonna go look
at the sea life in the trench next.

But you can teach me
the new jump rope song later, okay?

Au revoir!

[pants, groans]

If jump rope wasn't fantastic
and fun enough for Fernie,

I'll just try something else.

[sighs wearily]
Once I catch my breath.

[exclaims]

How was your play
date with Fernie?

I'm still working on it.

And I'm going to
need your help.

What are you doing with
our box of dress-up stuff?

No time to explain.
This is a play date emergency.

Let's paddle.

Okay, Flounder.

Now will you tell us
what this is about?

Yeah, why are we
playing dress-up?

I'll tell you.

Oh, good.

Just as soon as we
meet up with Fernie.

Can you cannonball us
inside the trench, please?

I'm still not comfortable
with deep dives.

Okay, hold on tight.

Cannonball!

[both laughing, whooping]

[gasps]
There he is.

Fernie!

Fernie!

Huh? Oh, hi, Flounder.
And Ariel? And Lucia?

What you doing?

I'm studying fish facts
by myself.

What are you all
doing here?

I guess we're here
to play dress-up with you and Flounder?

Oh, but Ariel...

Fernie, wait.

That's not Ariel.
She's the queen of seaweed.

[giggles]

And Lucia's not
Lucia right now.

She's a Merengue dancer
lady-ma'am. [chuckles]

Actually, I'm the
Magnifica Merengue Bailadora,

the great hero-dancer
of the sea.

Even better. [giggles]

Okay.

And I'm gonna tell you
a knock-knock joke to show you who I am.

But I know who you're
supposed to be.

-You're...
-Knock-knock.

Who is there?.

Ariel.

Ariel who?

A real little mermaid,
of course.

Can't you tell by my hair?

[laughing]

[chuckles]

Here, I brought you a hat.

Thanks, Flounder, but I don't want
to play dress-up right now.

I'm going to go look at some parrot fish
at the rainbow sea caves.

Bye, friends. Have fun.

-Bye!
-Adios.

I really thought
that would work.

What's going on, Flounder?

Yeah, why'd you have us play
dress-up with Fernie

if he doesn't even want to
right now?

Well, earlier today,

Fernie and I were having
so much fun playing fin-ball.

But then he just took off
to play all by himself.

And then I tried
to play jump rope with him,

but he didn't want
to do that, either.

And then I tried
to play dress up...

[sighs] And I even told
you and Lucia to come

so that we'd have
even more fun.

But that didn't work.

[sighs]

What if Fernie doesn't want
to be my friend anymore?

Oh, Flounder.
That can't be true.

There must be a reason
Fernie keeps going off to play by himself.

Yeah, you're one of his
best fins. He loves you.

Thanks. So if he does still
want to be friends with me,

then it must be that my play date ideas
still aren't fun and fin-tastic enough.

So, will you help me
come up with a really good play date idea?

Please?

I'll help you, Flounder.

And don't worry, we'll think
of something grandissimo-big.

Thanks, Lucia.

Ariel?

Okay. Of course, I'll help.

-Yeah!
-[both giggle]

Now, what can we do that's
even more fun and fin-tastic

than jump rope and dress-up?

Hmm.

Ooh, Fernie loves cricket.

Then let's play
some cricket.

[Fernie] Here, parrot fish.

I know how much
you love rainbows.

[parrot fish chirping]

That's it.
No need to squawk.

Nice and gentle.

[Flounder] Let's play ball!

[laughs]

Cricket?

Yeah. You love cricket.

Here. [grunts]

[parrot fish squawking]

Wait, come back.

Oops.

Flounder, why did you do that?

I thought you'd want
to play cricket.

But you scared off
all the parrot fish.

I didn't mean to do that.

I just wanted to do
something fun and fin-tastic for you.

But why?

So that you'd play with me.

Oh, Flounder.
I love playing with you.

You're one of my best fins.

But remember I told you
I was going to explore the open sea?

And that I wanted
to be by myself?

Yeah, you did.

Then I told you again when you wanted
to play jump rope with me, remember?

Yes, but I just
didn't understand

why anyone would want to play alone
instead of playing with their friends.

I still don't get it.

Flounder, don't you ever want to do
some things on your own sometimes?

No.

Hmm, are you sure?

You know, sometimes
I like to sing when I'm alone in our room.

You do?

Yeah, I do it all the time.

It's fun and it makes
me feel happy.

I never knew that.

And sometimes I like
to practice magic all by myself.

Whoa.

So isn't there anything
you like to do by yourself sometimes?

Well, I mean...

Sometimes, when I'm
trying a new recipe, I like to be alone

so I can really
focus on it.

Wait, I like being
alone, too, sometimes.

-Mmm-hmm.
-Oh, Fernie.

I get it now.

I'm sorry I followed you
around all day and ruined your alone time.

And I'm really sorry
I chased away the parrot fish.

I accept your
apology, Flounder.

I know you didn't mean to.

But I'm happy you now understand that
we all like doing stuff alone sometimes.

[chuckles]

High fin for best fins.

[all laughing]

[chuckles] So,
what should we do now?

Hmm. Oh, I have
a really good idea.

How about we go play cricket

and leave Fernie
to finish off his play date by himself?

That is a great
idea, Flounder.

And after I'm done
doing stuff alone,

can I join you all later?

-Claro que si!
-Of course.

[giggling]

That's a fantastic plan.

Have fun, Fernie.

Lucia, Flounder, let's paddle.

[chirping]

Here, parrot fish.
