And a stable girl.

So I'm going back to the stable.

(Sighs) okay.

I'll be there in a minute.

I think I'll go for a little walk.

Boy, I'd give anything

To have a dolphin of my own to race.

(Distressed squeak)

Did you hear something?

(Distressed squeak)

Sounds like a dolphin.

(Distressed squeaking)

Jumpin' jellyfish!

I think it's coming from in there!

Hello? Dolphin?

(Distressed squeak)

(Squeaks)

Hey, there.

(Distressed squeaking)

Awww, you're just a little squirt!

Why are you so scared?

(Loud bellow)

What was that?

(Gasps)

(Thwack)

Jeepers! That's one giant clam!

(Thwack)

Ahhh! (Squeaks)

Don't worry, little dolphin,

I won't let it hurt you!

Hey, giant clam!

Here's a treat for you!

Fetch!

Ungh!

(Water swishes)

Come on! Let's get out of here!

(Water swishes)

Whoa!

(Giggles)

Yaaahoo!

Hey, pablo!

Hi, uniqua.

(Gasps)

Leaping lobsters, uniqua!

Where'd ya get that thing?

I found him out in the ol' sunken ship.

Isn't he swell?

Sure he's swell,

But what are you gonna do with a such a little guy?

I'm gonna keep him.

Isn't that right, sea squirt?

(Chatters)

Sea squirt?

Yup. That's his new name!

(Chatters)

You think he can race?

I'm sure he can!

Come on!

Let's see what he can do!

Pablo: okay, let's see how fast he is.

I'm going to time him. Ready?

Ready, sea squirt?

(Squeak, squeak)

Ready!

All right then.

You go when I say three.

Ready? Three!

Uniqua: whoa!

(Water bubbles)

Huh? Go, go!

(Giggles) we already went.

All the way around the track.

(Squeaks)

Jumpin' jellyfish, he's fast!

You're telling me!

He's a racer all right.

You think tyrone'll let you keep him?

Are you kidding? Of course he will!

Tyrone: of course I will what?

Oh! Hello, there, sir.

I'd like to introduce you to my dolphin,

Sea squirt!

He certainly is small.

That's true, but you should see him go!

Do you think it would be okay

For sea squirt to stay here in your stables?

Hmm...

No.

Pablo and uniqua: no?!

My stables are for racing dolphins.

But... He is a racing dolphin!

No he isn't.

He's way too small to race.

I'm sorry, stable girl,

But your little dolphin will have to go.

Mr. Racer tyrone, sir!

Yes?

I... I challenge you to a dolphin race!

You what?

You what?!

You know you need to train

To race a dolphin.

Pablo can train me!

He can?

I can?

Yeah!

Mr. Racer tyrone, sir,

If I win, sea squirt gets to stay here!

And if I lose...

You and your dolphin have to go.

Hmm...

Okay, stable girl uniqua,

You've got yourself a deal.

I'll meet you tomorrow morning

At my race track,

And may the best dolphin win.

You're taking a mighty big chance, uniqua.

I know,

But sea squirt can do it!

(Squeaks)

Well, there's more to dolphin racing

Than just being fast.

Let's find out what else this little guy can do.

Tyrone: yee-haw! Go, blue streak!

Okay, uniqua,

Let's see how he is through the hoops.

Just take him through the first one.

But what about the other hoops?

He's too little to make it through all three.

Just stick with one for now.

Ready?

What do you say, sea squirt?

Wanna give those other hoops a try?

(Squeaks)

Ready?

Then... Go!

Uniqua: woo-hoo!

Nice! Now come on back!

Come on, boy, let's keep going!

(Squeaks)

Hey, where ya goin'?

(Water whooshes)

(Gasps)

Last one, sea squirt.

I can't watch.

Uniqua: atta boy, sea squirt. I know you can do it.

Woo-hoo!

Jumpin' jellyfish!

That is one amazing little dolphin!

Pablo: you never know what to expect in a dolphin race,

So that's why we're here, at the obstacle course.

Okay! Ready?

(Squeak)

Ready!

Then... Go!

When you hit the curves, make sure you lean in!

(Water whooshes)

Yahooo!

(Squeak)

Hmm.

Uniqua: woo-hoo! Yeah!

All right! Wee!

(Clacking sound nearby)

What's that noise?

Sea squirt: (frightened squeaks)

Uniqua: jeepers!

Calm down, sea squirt,

It's only a bunch of clams!

Whoa!

(Frightened squeak)

What happened?

Pablo and uniqua: oof! (Groan)

Tyrone: looks like your little dolphin is spooked by clams.

Pablo and uniqua: huh?

(Sad squeak)

Uniqua: maybe a little.

You know, it's not too late

For you to drop out of the race.

Blue streak: (proud snort)

No way!

Sea squirt may be scared,

But I know he can do it.

(Squeaks)

Well, all right.

You just better hope

He doesn't see any clams tomorrow.

What are we gonna do?

I don't know.

If sea squirt sees a clam during the race,

You'll lose for sure!

(Sad squeak)

Aw, don't worry, sea squirt.

I'll be with you all the way.

As your trainer,

I order you to get a good night's rest.

Tomorrow's the big race.

Morning, pablo!

Uniqua, we're in trouble.

Look at that!

Tyrone: ahh!

I see you've found the new course.

Because you challenged me to race,

I put together a very special course,

Starting with... A wall of bubbles!

Uh, we didn't train for a wall of bubbles.

Sea squirt and I can handle that.

Then we'll race up to the open air jumps.

Open air jumps?

We didn't train for that either.

Open air jumps don't worry me.

Sea squirt can do it.

(Squeaks)

Then we'll have to find our way through...

The sunken ship.

(Gasps) the sunken ship?

That doesn't sound so bad.

And the first one back here

Wins the great dolphin race!

And uniqua will get to keep sea squirt!

Only if she wins, and that's a big "if".

Uniqua, are you okay?

The sunken ship -

That's where I found sea squirt.

There's a giant clam in there.

Oh boy.

We'll never make it through!

Sure you will!

You can do it and so can sea squirt.

(Sighs) okay, trainer.

Wish us luck.

Good luck.

All right.

May the best dolphin racer win!

(Proud snort)

(Intimidated squeak)

Ready, sea squirt?

(Squeaks)

Racers, take your mark.

Get set...

Go!

Dolphins: (squeak)

Go, sea squirt, go!

(Chatters)

Wow! They're fast!

Step on it, blue streak!

Jumpin' jellyfish! They're catching up!

Uniqua: here comes the wall of bubbles, sea squirt!

Let's go!

We're in the lead!

(Water whooshes)

But not by much.

Let's go, blue streak!

Oh boy, here come those open air jumps!

Go, uniqua! Go, sea squirt!

(Water splashes)

Tyrone: h'yah! H'yah!

Uniqua: woo-hoo!

(Splashing)

Come on, sea squirt!

(Splashing)

(Gasps) they passed us!

(Splashing)

Tyrone: faster, blue streak!

I can't believe it!

Uniqua and sea squirt are in the lead!

Now if they can only make it through the sunken ship.

(Panicked squeaks)

Uniqua: (cries)

Oof!

(Scared squeaks)

Don't tell me your little dolphin's

Afraid of an old sunken ship!

No, he's afraid of what's inside!

A giant clam!

(Laughs)

How big can a clam be?

Looks like we're gonna win.

Don't listen to him, sea squirt.

I know you can do it! You can win this race!

(Anxious squeaking)

Don't worry, little fella.

I won't let that clam hurt you.

(Squeak, squeak)

Come on! Let's do it!

Tyrone: (laughs to himself)

Who ever heard of someone being afraid

Of an itty bitty little clam. (Laughs)

(Loud bellow)

Tyrone: (gasps) yikes! It's a... It's a...

Giant clam!

(Alarmed chatter)

(Clack)

Blue streak: (alarmed chatter)

Tyrone: oof!

(Gasps) good, giant clam.

Good, giant clam!

Sea squirt: (squeaks fearfully)

Jeepers, it's racer tyrone,

And blue streak,

And the giant clam!

(Clack)

Don't worry, mr. Racer tyrone, sir,

I'll help you!

Just stay right here.

(Clack)

This worked great the last time!

Ungh!

(Gasps) uh-oh...

(Chomping)

(Clack)

That didn't go so well.

No, it really didn't.

Uniqua and tyrone: aaahhhh!

(Brave squeaks)

Tyrone and uniqua: (gasps)

Oh boy.

Holy cow-fish!

I can't look.

We're gonna be clam food.

Sea squirt: (loud squeak)

Tyrone and uniqua: huh?

Tyrone: it's that little dolphin!

What's he doing?

I don't know,

But I believe in sea squirt.

(Water swooshes about)

(Brave squeak)

(Clack)

(Clack)

(Resounding squeaks)

Uniqua: you did it, sea squirt! You did it!

Hey,

Thanks for helping us out there.

(Thankful chatter)

Blue streak thanks you, too.

No problem, sir.

Pablo: yay! Uniqua and sea squirt!

You won!

Sea squirt, we did it!

(Squeaks happily)

Incredible!

I was wrong about sea squirt.

You got one great dolphin there, kid.

Does that mean I can keep him?

Not only can you keep him,

I want you all

To join my dolphin racing team!

Jeepers, sea squirt!

Now we really are dolphin racers!

(Ecstatic squeak)

(Stomach rumbles)

Nope, that was just my tummy!

I'm hungry.
