[camera shutter sounds]

[shutter continues clicking]

[heavy door knocking]

Okay, so the big, dramatic

"dun dun duun!"
was just in my head.

But it was totally appropriate
for the moment.

There was some serious
drama going on.

I was solving a real mystery,
in a hotel,

dressed like a mermaid,
and... yeah,

maybe I'd better explain
a few things first.

[fast forward]

-[toy squeaks]
-You sure you brought it home
from the sleepover?

-[grunts]
-A flamingo tote bag
is sort of hard to forget.

-[toy elephant trumpets]
-[Skipper]: Barbie!
Your friends are here!

[sniffs] Eww!
It smells like old socks.

-And not the good
"old sock smell".
-[sighs]

I don't wanna go on vacation
with a suitcase

that smells like the wrong kind
of old socks.

It's not really a vacation.
Dad's going for work.

Barbie will be
at the mermaid convention.

You and Skipper will probably
hang out at the pool.

[-sniffs]
-What am I gonna do?

It's an awesome resort!

I'm sure you'll think
of something.

[Stacie]: Hmm.

Oh, my gosh, oh, my gosh!
Stacey, quick!

-You gotta see this!
-Did you find the tote?

Better.
I just got a video message!

-From Honey!
-No way.

♪ Chelsea is sweet when
she gives me a treat ♪

-[howls]
-I knew it!

Honey has a whole
secret life going on.

Ohh!
-[Barbie giggling]

Wait. I know that giggle.

Ha-ha! Gotcha.

The old "fake paws
and peanut butter
in the puppy's mouth" trick.

-Grr.
-Just try toppin' that, Chels.

Oh, it's on!

[gasps]

Found it!

[Skipper]: Have you seen Barbie?

Her yoga group
is starting without her,

and Renee's already tied
herself into a pretzel.

Ooh. Can I borrow
that flamingo tote?

-It's perfect for taking
my stuff to the pool!
-But...!

-Ugh.
-[gasps]

[sighs]

[Barbie]: And, chair pose...

Nikki's gonna miss
the entire workout.

...into half-moon pose.

I thought this
was crescent moon.

More like cracked-in-half-moon.

-[thuds]
-Ow!

Sprouting tree!

It was so nice of you to fit
in one more class

before your trip, Barbie.

You must be really excited.

Yeah, a mermaid convention.

On the same tropical island
at the same time

as your dad's
documentary festival!

-How lucky is that?
-The luck of the Roberts'!

It did work out pretty well.

I just wish
all of you could come, too.

Wow, wow, wow! It's happening,
it's actually happening!

[puppies whine]

Nikki? What's going on?

I'm really going!
We all are!

-I can't believe I won!
-You won what?

-Who's going where?
-All of us!

-The mermaid convention!
-[gasps]

When Barbie told me
she was going,

I entered an online contest
and I won!

Four tickets.
Airplane, hotel, everything!

-[happy scream]
-No way!

You gotta be kidding me!
So awesome!

Now we can all go together!

This calls for a celebration.

-Yeah!
-Whoo-hoo!

All right!

Hmm.

-Oof!
-[dog yelps]

Oh man, this is gonna
be amazing!

Yeah!

What flavor smoothie
would a mermaid drink?

Check the website.
Maybe there's a recipe.

[loud whirring]

Hmm.

[gasps]

[giggles]

Look at all the cool things
we get to do!

There's even a mermaid
royal wedding!

[both sigh together]

[both] So romantic!

[suspicious giggle]

-Don't forget the best part.
-What?

A mermaid fashion show!

Fairuza Ukwani herself
is gonna judge!

[giggles]

Who is Fairuza Ukwani?

Only the hottest swimwear
designer in the world?

She came up with this whole
idea for the MerCon.

She's my idol!

What I wouldn't do
to work with her.

Nikki! You should show
her your designs.

You think? How?

We'll enter the fashion show.

-Yeah!
-Awesome!

You can make mermaid
costumes for all of us,

then she'll see
how amazing you are!

Wow. You guys
would do that for me?

-Yeah!
-Of course?

-Claro.
-Okay. I'll get designing!

Yes!

First, a toast.

To mermaids!

[all] To mermaids!

Hang on.
What's this?

Huh. Some pretty strange looking
seaweed.

[Chelsea giggles]

Wait a minute.

Hmm.

Nice try, Chelsea.

Sock is not a flavor
anyone wants.

Hey. That better not be my sock!

[all laugh]

Grr.

Hmm.

Okay. This one's done.
How's your pocket, Daisy?

Super snug! None of those fish
food flakes are getting out

until we're ready to throw them
at the mermaid royal wedding.

[both sigh]

[both] So romantic!

[chuckles]

Is this all right?
Is it great? I don't know.

It has to be amazing.
Is this amazing?

-It's more than amazing, Nikki.
-Okay, good.

'Cause it has to be more
than amazing.

It's my big finale.

I still think it's missing
something around the neckline.

Hmm... Oh! Hey!

My mom has this gorgeous
necklace that would be perfect!

I'll see if we can borrow it.

Really?
Thanks!

Oh, uh, can someone hand me
the pink glitter?

Uh-huh.

Hmm... Pretty light.

Chelsea!

I have literally no idea
what you're talking about.

Then, would you mind opening
this for us?

Me? Of course not!

-Great!
-[gasps]

I mean, it's just a jar.

You sure about that?

[surprised yell]

[Mom] Skipper!
Stacey! Chelsea!

We leave in ten minutes,
with or without you!

I swear it's easier to deploy
a whole army

than get the Roberts' family
out the door and on a plane.

Okay.
Do we have everything?

Now I do. Ta-daa!

Neck pillow!
I almost forgot mine.

-Hey!
-Hola!

-Hi!
-Hi, mermaids!

Put your stuff
in the camper...

Oh, and Nikki,

here's my necklace Barbie said
you wanted to borrow.

[gasps]
It's beautiful, Mrs. Roberts!

Thank you so much.

I'm counting on you to
take extra good care of it.

It's very special to me.

I will.

Now, where did I
leave that neck pillow?

[puppies growling]

-Huh?
-[barking]

-Shh.
-Hey, uh, you need some
help there, Chels?

I don't smell anything!

Ugh! I do.

I thought we agreed,
no dirty socks.

It's not me.
I only packed washed ones.

I do believe someone's
got a backpack full of...

-limburger cheese!
-[all] Eww!

But I sprayed it with perfume
so you wouldn't...

-I mean...
-[all laughing]

Hey, guys! You look like you're
ready to go.

Just about.
Everyone, into the camper!

-Vamos!
-We're outta here!

-Let's go.
-Yeah!

-Shotgun!
-Mom!

[barking]

Thanks for watching the pups!

Oh, and you might want to
put this in the refrigerator.

Okay... [sniffs]

Ugh! [gags]

Oh, boy. Whoa!

Aw, don't feel bad, Chels.

You know Barbie has
prank-sensing superpowers.

Yeah, maybe you should give up.
Or at least call a truce.

It's vacation!

Yeah! Vacation!

No one would ever expect
a prank there.

Yep. Chelsea was right.

None of us expected what was
about to happen,

least of all her.

One thing was for sure:

we were headed for
an unforgettable vacation

of epic proportions.

♪♪♪

[Renee]: I love vacation!
Whoo!

Ooh, so many movie choices.

They even have satellite TV!

Ooh! Ooh!
Every episode ever made of
Heartthrob Teen Couples!

Haven't you already
seen all of those?

Not on an airplane!

-[Nikki sighs]
-[Barbie]: You okay?

[Nikki]: Yeah. Just worried
my show-stopping,

grand finale mermaid gown
still isn't perfect.

It's perfectly you.

If Fairuza Ukwani
doesn't love it,

she has no taste!

Thanks, Barbie.

You're always so calm
and confident.

You really know
how to inspire me.

It's because I believe
in you!

We're gonna give that convention
a show to end all shows.

[Skipper]: What are you gonna do
when we get there?

Eat. Surf. Eat.

So basically, you're going
miles to do exactly

what you'd do at home.

Yup!
What about you, Chels?

Think of something fun
to do yet?

I'm working on it.

Mini pretzels!?

I love vacation!

[tropical music]

[happy gasp]
This is gorgeous!

And huge!

Whoa...

-Whoa!
-[clattering]

Oops. Sorry.

What is all this, anyway?

Every photojournalist travels
with her binoculars,

flash equipment, video camera,
tripod and extra lenses.

Whoa. Since when are you
a photojournalist?

Since Nikki won this trip. What
better way to document it?

[gasps] Wow!

Look at all those mermaids
down there!

We even have one in our room.

"Welcome to the mermaid
convention,

with our compliments."

-Oh, yeah! Free fruit.
-[giggles]

Let's get changed!
I wanna hit the pool.

I hate to be this person,

but we have to be down
on the stage in minutes.

It's our assigned
rehearsal time.

-Oh, sure.
-Right! No prob.

-Thank you!
-[Barbie]: Hey!

Why don't you put
on your costume, Nikki,

to make sure it works
on the stage.

Good idea.
I'll meet you guys down there.

They taste so much better
when they're free!

-Nice!
-I get that bed!

Ha!

You girls get settled.

We need to check
on the helicopter

to the documentary festival.

See ya.

Admit it, Chels.
This is pretty sweet.

Yeah.
It has potential.

You think Barbie's room
is exactly the same?

Okay. Teresa here, me here.

Yeah. Yeah,
this will work great.

-Wow!
-Amazing!

[giggles] Nikki,
you look fabulous!

Thanks!

Whoa.

Little tight.

Good thing you suggested
I practice!

Everybody, take your positions!

Okay, Daisy.
Hit it.

[dance music]

-Whoa!
-Oh no!

Whoa!

[crash, splatter]

[Barbie]: Nikki! You okay?

[Renee]: Mermaid down!
Mermaid down!

Oh, Nikki.
I'm so, so sorry.

This was my fault.

I was the one who suggested
you wear your costume

-for the rehearsal.
-It's okay, Barbie.

Better to humiliate myself now
than in front of Fairuza Ukwani

and the entire convention.

I'll just withdraw
from the fashion show

and hide in the room
until it's over.

You will do no such thing.

We've still got the whole
afternoon to fix it!

Yeah, Teresa's right.

We didn't come all this way
to quit now!

When else would you get to show
off in front of your idol

at a mermaid convention?

Unless you won the fashion show,

then you'd be a part
of next year, too.

But no way that'll happen now
unless there's a miracle and...

No time like the present?

I think what we're saying is:

We won't give up, if you won't.

Okay.
I'll start sewing.

But where are we gonna find
more shells and sequins?

Uh, hello!
We're at a mermaid convention.

Right!

What are we waiting for?

Okay. The helicopter leaves
at half past.

Let's check on the girls
one more time.

They'll be fine, Margaret.

Barbie's room is
right next door.

And, we'll only be
a couple of hours.

How much trouble could
they possibly get into?

Hmm. As I suspected.

The thefts are escalatin'.

We have a serious problem
on our hands.

Am I just fooling myself,

or does this mermaid tail

actually look more fabulous
than before?

See? Bad luck can be
a good thing.

Don't jinx it.

[door beeps]

-Hola!
-Hi, guys!

Wait for it...

These are great!
Where did you get them?

Sally's Sundries.

She sells seashells
by the seashore.

Try saying that
three times fast.

She sells sheesh...
Seashells, she... She sho...

Ah, I just had
to get the glitter.

And here's more glue!

Thanks!
This stuff's perfect.

Okay, where do we start?

Oh, you guys have
done enough!

Go enjoy the con.

I'll stay here with Nikki
till she's done.

Well, there might still
be time to catch the mermaid
royal wedding!

[all] So romantic!

[laughs] Go!

Nikki and I will be down as soon
as she's done.

-Awesome!
-Thanks, Barbie.

Fantastico!

-Yes!
-[cheering]

Now, girls. Stay safe.

And remember, only use the pool
when the lifeguard is on duty.

No running on the deck.
Don't talk to strangers.

Pretty much the same rules
as at home, Mom.

We've got this.

Okay, okay. I know.

There are three
screenings tonight, so we
won't be back till late.

-Do you have your room keys?
-[both] Yes!

Great.

Oh, the spare to Barbie's room
is on the desk there.

-Just in case.
-Okay. Let's go!

Happy judging!

Call us if there's a problem!

But our phones will be turned
off during the screening,

so we won't answer right away.

So, try not to have
any problems!

We won't!

-[Mom and Dad] Bye!
-Wait!

[both panicked] What?

-I'm hungry.
-[Dad]: You can order
room service.

-[both] Yes!
-But be reasonable, okay?

Try to limit it to one entrée
and one dessert each.

Awesome.
I'll get the menu.

Whew, I thought they'd
never leave.

Okay. Time to get to work.

Work?
What are you talking about?

I have a plan.
A great plan.

Better than room service?

Way better.

Enough with the build-up.
Spill!

This is the perfect place
to prank Barbie.

She'll never expect it here.

That is kinda genius!

Okay.
Let's hear the deets.

Okay.
The first thing we do is...

Hmm.

[phone rings]

-Hey!
-[Daisy]: Hi.

[sobbing] Just... checking in.

-Hi?
-How's the con?

[sniffs] Awesome.

Then why are you crying?

I just always cry in underwater
weddings.

Renee filmed everything,
so you can see it later!

Teresa and I just got so caught
up when King Neptune said:

"I promise to love you until
the oceans run dry!"

[cries] We lost it!

And then, we totally forgot
to throw our fish food flakes.

Oh, and by the way.
King Neptune? Serious beard.

Check it out.

[both] Whoa.

That's not a beard!
It's a chin...chilla!

[laughs]

Good one.

You guys should come down
for the free buffet!

It's our last chance to eat
before the show tonight.

Where are you guys down there?
Wave to me.

We'll be right down.
Save us a place in line!

-Mira!
-Whoo!

Hey!

That's weird.

Quick, throw me the phone.

Here, here ya...

Huh?

[grunts] Hmm.

Ah!

There's more glue on you
than on my mermaid tail.

[grunts]

[Barbie]: I'm okay!

[scoffs] It's gone!

That was so bizarre.

What did you see?

I don't know, it looked like
a space alien.

Or, maybe it was a toddler
running around?

At first it was inside
the housekeeper's cart,

but then it popped
out and snuck off.

Okay.
I'm thinking low blood sugar.

-Let's hit up that buffet.
-Okay.

[giggles]

You've outdone yourself, Chels.

Moving everything
from our room into here,

and everything of
theirs into our room?

What kind of evil mastermind
comes up with an idea like that?

This was exhausting,
but totally worth it.

I can't wait to see
Barbie's face.

She'll walk in, think she's
in the wrong room,

and she'll be like,
"What? Where am I?

What's going on?"

Then I'll jump out
and say "Gotcha!"

The happiest words
in the English language.

Okay, okay,
Dr. Prankenstein.

Let's get this done
before room service shows up.

Yeah, getting caught
would sorta spoil the moment.

[chuckles]

-[knocking on door]
-[man]: Housekeeping?

[door beeps]

[monkey chatters]

[door beeps]

Okay, this should be
the last trip.

Good thing. I am so hungry,

I could eat everything
on the room service menu.

I could even eat the menu!

-[laughs]
-Ooh!

We almost missed it.

Whoop, pair of shoes
under the bed!

Oh, Barbie's weird
face mask stuff.

Mission accomplished!

Pretty sweet, Chels.
They'll walk in and go,

"How did we get
in Mom and Dad's room?"

[giggles]

You are the official
princess of pranks!

-Yes!
-[knocking]

Oh, man!
The food's here!

Brilliant.

-[door beeps]
-[gasps]

We got 'em.
Caught 'em red handed.

Dun-dun-duuun!
