puffing up is part of you are.

You are a puffer fish.

- Yeah, you're supposed to puffup when there's danger around.

so the bigger fishwill leave you alone.

- But I--wait,

do you really thinkthat I look "big and tough"?

- Yeah.[all laugh]

- You're big and tough,all right.

Remember, Dunk, you can de-puffwhen you calm yourself down.

The water's moving so fast.

- Hi kids!both: Oh.

- Oh, it looks like we're in

for some rough watersfor a while.

There's a storm in the distance.both: Oh.

- Well, maybe today isn'tthe best day

to explore that cave.- Mm-mm.

- Well, actually,the cave is a safe place to be

because, well, you're insideaway from the stormy weather.

So go ahead Reeftown Rangers.

- [gasps]- Feel free to explore.

- Let's do it!- [laughs]

- I like his sense of adventure.- Me too,

but, uh, I'm stillgetting used to it.

[laughs]- Well, be safe, kids,

and holler if you need anything.

I'll come by laterand check on you.

all: Bye Flo!

- [chuckles]- Oh, hey, Dunk, wait up!

- Wait, wh--- Oh--wait.

- Look.

I fit perfectly today.

[all laugh]

- Wow...oh, this is so cool!

I always wanted to hang outinside of a cave.

- Yep!- Oh, this is so neat!

- I know, right?Uh-huh.

- [gasps and laughs]Whoa!

- Welcome tothe mysterious cave!

all: Ooh!- Wow!

all: Oh!- [grunts]

- Who turned the lights out?

- Was it something I said?

- I'm sure it's fine.

- [gasps]Oh, no!

The storm must havepushed a rock

in front of that cave.- Oh!

- Yeah!It's blocking the cave entrance.

How we gonna get out?- Let's stay calm.

I'm sure we'll figure it out.

- Yeah, the only thingabout staying calm is...

[chuckles weakly]We're stuck in a cave!

- That's true,But getting nervous

isn't gonna help usget out of here.

- Well, Dunk, aren't you evena little bit worried?

- Nope.

Good old Not-Puffy-Dunk

is as coolas a sea cucumber.

all: Hmm...

- Uh, I know thissounds strange,

but I kind of miss Puffy Dunk.

- Yeah, with Puffy Dunk,at least I stayed calm

by keeping him calm.

- Well, let's all stay calmand take a look

at this rock together.- Okay.

- Are you in there,Reeftown Rangers?

[all gasp]- Its Flo!

Yeah, Flo, uh, we are in here!

- Oh my.

Ripples' papa told me he

hadn't seen her all afternoon...all: Oh.

- And so I came back hereto check.

- Oh, well, Flo,uh, can you help get us out?

- Hmm, well...

uh...

I'm gonna have to push it,

but, oh, well,

then I'll push it into you.

- Well, then, don't push it.

- Kids, you can do this.I'll coach you.

You're gonna have topush the rock from the inside.

- Oh, okay, uh, guys,I have an idea.

Um, if Dunk gets nervousand puffs up,

maybe that willpush the rock out of the way.

- Yeah!That's it!

That'll work!- What?

But I don't do that anymore.

- Oh, Dunk, please?

- Okay, I'll try.- [exhales]

- Okay, go ahead, buddy.

Get nervous and puff up!- Yeah.

- [inhales]

[grunts and exhales]

- Huh?- [inhales and grunts]

[exhales]- Any time now, pal.

- I'm trying...- [sighs]

But I'm just notfeeling nervous.

- Oh.- I'm too calm.

- Uh, Dunk, it's greatthat you're not nervous anymore,

but, uh, now I'm nervous.- Oh.

- You are?

- You?Splash, the Great Adventurer?

- Well, yeah.

I, Splash, the Great Adventurer,

I really don't like being stuckin this cave all day.

- Oh, best buddy,I'll do it for you.

- Aw.- Oh, thanks, Dunk.

- I need some help.I'm trying to think of something

that'll make me nervous.both: Uh...

- Uh, being stuck in this caveall day long!

- No, I'm not worriedabout that.

I've got my buddies here!

both: Oh...- Oh, wait!

I just thought of somethingthat'll make me nervous.

[inhales deeply]

all: Ah!

- Ah, Dunk, you did it!

- Lookout, rock.Here comes Dunk the puffer fish!

- Yeah!- All right, Dunk!

- Ah, whoo!- [laughs]

Dunk, you don't knowhow strong you really are!

- Yeah, I never thoughtI'd be so happy

to see you puff up![laughs]

- [exhales]

Maybe puffing upevery once in a while

isn't such a bad thingafter all.

- Well, I've gotta know, buddy.

What made you so nervousthat you finally puffed up?

- I just picturedhow I would feel

if I didn't havemy best buddies with me.

It would be terrible.

all: Aww.- That's nice, Dunk.

- Oh, my goodness.- [laughs]

- You did it!

Ah, you kids should beso proud of yourselves.

You really are Reeftown Rangers!

all: Ah, yes we are!- All right!

[all laughing]

Hey, hey, Dunk, Dunk, Dunk,Dunk, Dunk.

Can you--can you teach mehow to puff up?

- Yeah, me too!

- Me, three!

- Well, I'm not really sure.

You kind of just swallow bunchof water, and then puff.

- Oh, okay, let me try.Ready?

[slurping and inhaling]

- Uh...[both laugh]

- [laughs]Am I doing it?

- Maybe it's justa puffer fish thing,

but keep practicing though.

It's really funnywhen you do it!

[all laugh]- Okay I'll do it again!

[inhales]

- And now it's time to...

- If you could havean ocean superpower,

what would it be?

The power of archerfish!

[upbeat music]

[laser blasts] Archerfish have keen eyes

to spot their food above the water,

and when they see their target...

They spit super fast jets of water

to catch their food.

Imagine, the power to catch your food

by spitting at it.

The power of shark ray!

Is it a shark? Is it a ray?

You don't have to decide,

'cause it's a shark ray.

This unusual fish uses its face

to sense the electrical fields

around animals it wants to eat.

Like lobsters.

Imagine if you could sense electricity,

and find your next meal.

- I'm coming, I'm coming!

- Wait a minute,are you carrying something

under your fin?

- No, look!

- Okay, you got me.- [laughs]

But we might need it,the way Tidy's always cleaning.

- Come on, Dunk.

Tidy invited usto play with him.

- You're right, I'll leave it.- [chuckles]

I'm sure he's not gonna wannaclean all day.

Yeah!Ooh, oh, this will never do!

[grunts]

Red stays in, brown stays out.

Red stays in, brown stays...[spits]

It'll stay neater that way.[laughs]

- [chuckles]Uh, okay.

- So, what are we gonnaplay first?

Hide and seek?Follow the leader?

Huh?- Or a little,

uh, finball, perhaps?[chuckles]

If you have any, uh, pebblesaround here, that is.

- Well, well, uh,that sounds like fun,

but you know what could beeven more fun?

- What?

- Cleaning the brownand green algae

off this algae bed!

Huh? Huh?Huh?

- This bed lookspretty clean already.

- Oh, well, I should hope so.

I spent the whole morningcleaning it

before you got here.- Great!

So now that you'reall done cleaning,

we can play together, right?

- Uh, done cleaning?

Uh, I'm not really sureI know what that means.

- Er, uh, well, we thought that

since the algae bedis already clean than maybe--

- [laughs]- [chuckles weakly]

- Dear, dear Bubbles.[giggles]

See, a kelp forest keeper isnever done cleaning.

That's the best part of the job!- Uh, it is?

to keepingthe kelp forest clean!

- [giggles]It's true.

You could say a kelp forestkeeper's work is never done.

- You could say that again,Tidy.

- Wh--I've got my algae bedunder control, Chipper.

Thank you for your concern!

[chuckles]Don't mind Chipper, kids.

He always thinks his algae bedis neater.

- Because it is!- [growls]

- Uh, sorry, kids.

Garibaldi fish neighborscan be very competitive.

I'll have you know, Chipper...[all groan]

I've kept exquisite careof my al--

- Man, this is worsethan I thought.

Tidy just wantsto clean all day.

- Exactly whyI brought my pebble.

Which is exactlywhy I wish I hadn't dropped it.

Oh, no.

- Deep breaths, Dunk.

Deep breaths.

[air hissing]

- [sighs]Thanks, Bubbles.

It's just too badTidy doesn't wanna play.

- Yeah.

[gasps]Hey, I have an idea!

What if we can get Tidyto take a break from cleaning?

- Yeah!

And then when he hasa chance to relax,

he'll come backand play with us!

- Yeah![all laugh]

- So, like I was saying,

how about we spend the daycleaning the old algae bed?

Sound like fun?

- Cleaning the algae bed

does sound like fun, but...

- Have you ever gone to theother side of the kelp forest?

You know, just to see it?

- We--why, no.

Uh, My brother,Sweep, lives there, though.

- I bet he'd love itif you went to visit him.

- Oh, well, I guess there arelots of things I could do

if I weren't cleaning.[chuckles]

I could go see my brother,

or learn to swim backwards...- [laughs]

- Or--gee, anythinga fish could dream.

- Exactly!

Uh, I'm not so sureabout the whole

swimming backwards part...- [chuckles]

- But, uh, that's a good startto a wish list!

- Ah, I could makea lot of wishes.

But, no, that's impossible.

Who would stayand clean the algae?

I am the kelp forest keeper,you know,

and, uh, there's only onekelp forest keeper.

- But what if you could findthree other kelp forest keeper's

to help?- Yeah!

Then you could really keepthe kelp forest clean.

- Ooh,three kelp forest keepers?

Well, well,that would be pretty amazing,

but--but where could I findnot just one,

but--but three?

- Ahem.

- Ahem.- Ahem.

all: Huh?

- [inhales deeply]

Wait a minute!

I just had a brilliant idea!

There are three of you!- Right!

We could beyour three kelp forest keepers!

- Oh, you'd do that?But why?

- Because you've been cleaningso hard

and you need a break.

- Yeah, and, uh, maybe you'llwant to play games with us

when you get back.- Oh...

no.Uh...

[gasps]Okay, I'll do it!

I'll take a breakand go see my brother!

I'll be backbefore it gets dark.

Thank you!- Okay, that's great, Tidy!

Have a good time!

- Oh, I will.And just remember,

a clean algae bedis a tidy algae bed.

- A clean algae bedis a tidy algae bed.

[chuckles]Got it!

- He's gone!

- Ooh![both gasp]

Remember, red algae in,other colors out.

[both chuckle]- Oh, Tidy!

- Bye!

- All right, well, I guesswe better start cleaning.

- Yep, uh, but everythingis already clean.

both: Yeah.Hmm...

- [gasps]Look what I found!

- What?- A pebble!

- [laughs]- Great!

Uh, let's put it in that pile,uh, over there.

- Oh, but it'sa perfect finball pebble.

[gasps]And Tidy's gone.

- [gasps]And it is clean here.

both: Yeah.- You're up, Bubbles!

all: Finball!

- Here it comes!Whoo!

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Whoa!Finwhacked!

- Show me what you got!Come on!

Watch this one.Whoa!

Eyes closed,ladies and gentlemen.

Eyes closed.

- Oh!- [laughs]

- Yeah!

- I got it!I got it!

I didn't get it.Be right back.

[all sigh]

- Well, I don't know who won,

but I'm exhausted.

- Whoo, me too.

- Me, three.- [sighs]

[gasps]

Do you see what I see?

[both gasp]- I do, but I'm trying not to!

- Guys, this doesn't lookanything like it did

when Tidy left.- Nope.

This is what I calla serious mess.

- Tidy left usa clean algae bed,

and we were supposed to be hisjunior kelp forest keepers!

Tidy's gonna be home any second!

Uh, okay, new plan!Let's just, uh--

let's just pile everythingover here.

both: Okay.- That'll work, right?

- [laughs and sighs]Hi, everyone!

- Okay, okay.[all breathing heavily]

- This looks great.[chuckles weakly]

- I'm back from my visit

to the other sideof the kelp forest.

And you know what?It was good to get away.

- That's great, Tidy![chuckles weakly]

- Hi, yeah, welcome back!- Yeah, welcome back!

- Well, well, well, you did it!

You really did it!

Thanks for taking such good careof everything.

- No trouble at all!- Yeah.

- Really?- Oh, no.

[all chuckle weakly]- Yeah, easy-peasy.

- Well, I'm really impressedthat you kept the algae bed

so perfectly neat.- Well, oh, yeah.

No problem![rocks clattering]

Oh, no.Oh, oh, no.

Oh!

all: Oh!

- [yelping]

What a mess!

- We're sorry, Tidy.We tried.

- Yeah, but the fasterwe cleaned,

the more started rolling in.

- Yeah,we knew you'd be shocked.

- I am shocked!

I can't even rememberthe last time

I saw an algae bedthis messy!

And I love it!

all: Huh?

- There's nothing I like better

than a chanceto clean an algae bed.

- Why?- I'm a Garibaldi fish.

It's what I do.

I clean everythingbut red algae away.

- Why do you only keepthe red algae?

- Ooh.[giggles]

Well, you see,it just so happens

that female Garibaldi fishreally love red algae,

and you never knowwhen one might come along.

After all, there are lotsof fish in the sea.

One of them might bethe future Mrs. Tidy!

- Red algae for Mrs. Tidy.

Now that is somethingI did not know.

- And I didn't knowhow much I'd miss my algae bed.

So, thanks for letting mego back to my cleaning.

- Uh, you're welcome,I guess.

- Yeah, uh, glad we could help!

- Now we're going home to rest.- Yeah.

- Ah, well, come back soon!

And bring your messiest friends!

[sighs]I love to clean!

Ah, I love it!

- See you, Tidy!- Oh, bye!

Bye kids!- See ya!

- Fun day at the kelp forest.

- Yep.- Race you guys home!

[all laugh and chatter]

And now it's time to...
