Nan hasn't gone yet.

Um, maybe you can say somethingencouraging to her?

- Uh, go ahead, Nan.You can do it.

- Ah, uh...maybe one more thing.

- Um...

I know you're really littleand this slide is big,

but you're a tough, bravenanoplankton, right?

- Aw, that was nice of him.

[all chattering]

- Wait, nope.Right down there.

- Oh, down there.Oh, okay.

- Where?- What?

- Oh, wait, right here!

No, she was, really.

- I think I see her.Argh!

- Oh, gosh, Nan,

they keep swimmingin the wrong direction.

Isn't that funny?

- I'm not--this is impossible!

- Uh, hide and seek?

Are--are you sure about this?

- Why not?It's Nan's favorite game.

- Okay, we'll try.

- Did you hear that, Nan?- Yeah.

[giggling]

Well, we found everyone--

except Nan.

- Yeah.- Where could she be?

- I don't know.Uh... [gasps]

Hey, there she is!

- [laughing]She's not there.

[together] Oh. Uh...

- Let's see, uh...

oh, there she is!

- Ah, nope.

- Okay, uh, well, uh,then... [gasps]

There she is!

- Oh!- [laughing]

Silly, she's right here.

- Wha--?- Oh.

- Has she been therethe whole time?

- You betcha.

- [sighs] I just don't get it.

Playing with nanoplanktonis hard.

- Mm-hmm.

- Hey, maybe Flo willhelp us understand.

Let's go find her.- Oh, okay.

- Okay.- Come on, Nan.

- Flo?

- This is where we cometo find Flo.

- Ah, well, she's got to bearound here somewhere,

- Flo?- Uh, Flo?

- Oh, there she is.

- Oh.- Oh, hi, Flo.

- Hi, Flo.- Hi, kids.

[together] Hi, Flo!- What can I do for you?

- Well, I was hoping you canhelp everyone understand

about my friend Nan.

She's a nanoplankton,and no one can see her.

- Ah, yes, that canbe a challenge.

- Well, were kind of wondering,

uh, is she real,or is she pretend?

- Ha!

Not only is Nan real,

but nanoplanktonis all around us.

There is a whole world inevery drop of water, in fact.

- And why can't wesee them, again?

- It's because we'reso much bigger.

Now, if we wereto shrink ourselves

really, really tiny,

we could see nanoplankton,

and all kinds of tinycreatures and plants,

all around us.

- That's hard to imagine.

- Imagining other creatures

and how they might feelis very important.

And that's what Bubbles is doingby being friends with Nan.

- Wow, I neverthought of it that way.

- Friendship isn'tabout size, anyway.

Right, guys?

[together] Right.

- A friend is a friend no matterhow big or how small.

- Yeah![all laughing and cheering]

[together] Reeftown Rangersreporting for fun!

- [laughing] Well, hey there,Reeftown Rangers.

[together] Uh...

- Is everything okay, Tidy?

You're awfully happy to see us.

- Ha, ha!Of course!

Welcoming you to the kelpforest, that's it.

- Uh, yes, but usuallyyou remind us

to wipe our fins first.

- And to keep our pebblesand shells off the algae bed.

- Yeah, and to have a tidy day.

- Well, today I have somethingelse on my mind!

Well, since you're all burstingto know, I'll tell you.

I've decided thatI'm ready to find...

Mrs. Tidy.

- Oh.- Mrs. Tidy?

- Yeah, that's right!

- Well, who's Mrs. Tidy?

- Well, uh, I don't know yet.

But, uh, that's exactly whatwe're gonna find out.

- When is she coming?

- Well, you don't justfind Mrs. Tidy

under any kelp leafin the forest.

You have to get everything readyfirst and hope she finds you

- Oh, well, how doyou get ready?

- Well, lots of ways.

Take this algae bed,for instance.

Have you guys ever wonderedwhy I keep it so clean

and tend to all this red algae?

- Well, we thought maybe youreally, really, really

liked to clean.

- Yeah, and you really, really,really like red algae.

- [chuckling]Well, good guesses, kids.

But there's another reason.

It's to create a place fora female garibaldi fish.

- But Tidy, why dofemale garibaldi fish

like these things?

- Yeah.

- Well, it has to dowith the way Mrs. Tidy

will want her nest to look,

so she'll want to lay eggs thereone day.

- How will you find her?

- Mm, there's no easy answer.

We're gonna need some hope,

some faith,

and some of these moves.

Watch this!

Whoa-ho!

[together] Ooh, wow!

- Yeah!

- Why are you swimminglike that?

- Oh, you mean these moves?

Well, that's how I signal to thefuture Mrs. Tidy that I'm here.

- So she's gonna see you?

- That's the idea.

- But what if she'stoo far away?

[gasps] What if shecan't see the algae bed?

- Well, then I guess I'll just

have to keep swimminglike this forever.

[all gasp]

- Ha, ha!

I'm kidding,I'm kidding.

[laughter]

- Oh boy, you got usthere, Tidy.

- She'll find me.

I hope...

- Aw, we haveto help Tidy.

- He'll be okay.

He has a plan, remember?

- But his plan is justto clean the algae bed

and swim like that.

If he doesn't find Mrs. Tidy,

he'll be doing all thatcleaning for nothing.

- That's true.

He does clean a lot.

What do you think we should do?

- Hmm.

Uh... [gasps]Here's the plan:

we're gonna helplook for Mrs. Tidy.

[together] Huh?- Uh?

But how?

- Yeah, we don't knowanything about her.

- Well, we do know a bit.

We know Mrs. Tidy is someonewho likes clean algae beds.

- Right, and, uh, red algae.

- Oh, and orange fishwho swim like that.

- Uh... uh.

You're right!

We do know whatwe're looking for.

- Yeah, and after all,

don't they always say,

there's plenty of fishin the sea?

[laughter]all: Yeah!

- Oh, kids, that is sonice of you to want to help,

but not just any fishcan be Mrs. Tidy.

- Hey, I have an idea.

I know just whereto find Mrs. Tidy.

- Well, uh, okay.

- [chuckles]

- Okay, Bubbles,what's your great idea?

- Someone who understandshard work, like Tidy.

- Mm-hmm.- Good. That's important.

- And--oh, and thisis a big one--

someone who understands cleaningas much as Tidy.

- Yeah.- And who would that be?

- Ta-da!

Eh?

- Hey, kids! [laughs]

[together] Chompy?

- Chompy?I never thought of that.

- Well, sure.What does Chompy do all day?

- Uh, chomp Coral?

Wait a minute.I think I see it.

She's not just chomping it,she's cleaning it.

- Wow, you're right!- Yeah.

Chompy is cleaning the algaeoff the coral.

- Plus that whole cool thingwhere she makes sand.

[together] Uh...

- Okay, maybe we won'ttalk about that.

- [chuckling]But what we should do

is make sure Tidy meets Chompy.

- Um, so will you come tothe kelp forest with us, Chompy?

- Kelp forest?

Oh, I've never been.

Sure, I'll go.

Is there coral there?

-I don't think so.

- Hmm.

Well, I better packa picnic, then.

It's always good to be prepared.[laughs]

- Wow, she soundslike Tidy already.

[both laughing]

- Well, you certainlyare the most colorful

parrotfish I've ever seen.

- And you're the first garibaldiI've ever met.

- Oh, this is going good.

- Yeah, it's going great!

- I knew it.

- Well, uh, so, uh,

do you like red algae?

- Oh, uh...

I don't know.

Does it taste the same as green?

- Uh...- Oh, that's okay.

I brought my ownsnack anyway.

I put it over here.

[munching]

- Uh, what, uh--what is that?[chuckling]

- Oh, it's coral.Do you want some?

- Oh, no, no, no, no, no.I'm good.

[laughs nervously]- [munching]

[gulps]

Oh, is something wrong, Tidy?

- Hm? Oh, no, not at all.

Uh, are you, uh,

almost done, um, chewingthat coral to bits?

- Oh, sure.One last bite.

- Oh, good. [laughs]

[chomping]- Ah, oh boy.

Ah, yeah--[shrieks]

Ohh! [stammering]

What is that?

- Oh, oh, that's howI make the sand.

It's what I do.

- Wha--you do that?

Uh, d-do you meanthere's gonna be

more sand like thataround here?

- Oh, of course.

Parrotfish make most of the sandin the whole ocean.

- Ah, well, that isa wonderful skill, Chompy,

and--and I do appreciate it,but, uh--

- Actually...

both: I'm afraid we might notbe a good match.

Oh!

[both laughing]

- Well, it was greatmeeting you, Tidy.

- Oh, you too, Chompy.

Well, come backand visit anytime.

- Oh, will do.

[laughing]

Oh! [chomping]

Hope you findyour Mrs. Tidy!

- Thank you![laughing]

[exhales]

- Well, what's next?

- Yeah, I don't know.

[sighs] Well, you guys,

it's not like we didn't try.

- Yep, we tried.

- Tidy said to waitand have faith.

- Yep, maybe that'sall we can do.

- Yeah.

[soft dramatic music]

- [sighs] Well...

- You're so beautiful.- Oh, Tidy.

- Hey! Do you see what I see?

- It's just so neat around here.

Every little speck is--

- Oh, I'm so gladyou appreciate it.

I've been working very hard.- Sure I do.

- Who's that?

Wha--how did he find her?

- Oh, hey, kids.

I'd like you to meetMrs. Tidy.

It's because I justlove to clean.

[both laughing]

- Neat and Tidy?

- How did you twofind each other?

- I was just swimming by,

looking for the cleanestalgae bed around,

when I saw this one heremaking all these moves,

she started cleaningright along beside me.

[both laughing]
