in the kingdom of Merlandia.

- Cool!

Wait, what's a finceañera?

- It's my sister Anani's
special birthday.

It's like a quinceañera

when human girls
celebrate turning 15.

Except she's turning 300.

both: 300?

- Yeah,
when a mer-person turns 300,

they officially
become an adult.

And we throw a big party.

[somber music]

- What's wrong, Lorelai?

You love parties.

- I do.

It's just that
as Anani's sister,

I know I'll have to lead
the traditional dance

called the twirlpool,
which every mermaid knows.

And I'm terrible at it.

- What?
You're Lorelai.

You're not terrible
at anything.

- Well, I've never been
like the other mermaids.

They always thought
I was weird.

through the entire city center

and ends in the town square.

- What's that?

- Those are the Growers.

They make our food.

[upbeat tropical music]

When a mer-person comes of age,

they get to choose
between four jobs:

Grower, Builder, Seller,
or Speaker.

- So your sister Anani
will be choosing her job?

- Exactly.

After the dance, she'll make
a formal announcement.

Those are the Builders.

They are responsible for all
the buildings in Merlandia

and for painting
our colorful homes.

And those are the Sellers.

They have anything
and everything

you could ever look for.

- Slow your seahorses,
Lorelai.

I'm drawing as fast as I can.

And that's our town hall

where the speakers uphold
the values and beliefs

of the mer-people.

- Whoa.

What's that?

- The Scepter of the Seas.

It's our most
prized possession.

It releases a force so powerful
it keeps the whole city safe.

Without it, we'd need an army
to protect us.

- Wow.

All that power
in one little stick?

- No!

The scepter of the Seas
is far more powerful

than any ordinary stick.

In the wrong hands,
it would be very, very bad.

- Ooh.

- Now, what have I missed?

[mer-people whispering]

[soft dramatic music]

I knew this would happen.
Look at them.

They're all staring at me.

I told you they think
I'm weird.

[mer-people whispering]

- They're not looking at you.

They're looking at Tomás and I.

- Do I have something
on my face?

- No, primo, at our legs.

both: Ooh.

- Whoa.
- See, Lorelai?

We're the weird ones here.
Not you.
