[Ariel] The Singing Dolphin.

We sound fin-tastic!

I can't wait to play the song

at the Splash-A-Palooza!

The Marketplace is going to be jamming.

Jamming?

Yeah, you know,
it's going to be so cool.

Especially after we play
our new song today.

Right, Ariel?

Ariel, where did you go?

[Ariel] Hmm.

Well, I think our song
is missing something.

Well, if you think
we're missing some cool dance moves,

I got us covered with
The Flounder Flip Flex.

Watch me.

[exclaiming]

[laughing]

-Cool dance move.
-Love the flip.

Nice, Flounder.

But I was thinking the song
needs something more like...

-Uh...
-[Fernie and Lucia] Hmm?

Uh, um...

Ah-ha! This.

My tibble-tuber.

This human thing
is just what the song needs.

Listen.

[♪ tibble-tuber playing]

-Nice.
-Bravo!

That tibble-tuber really makes
a high-pitched sound.

It sure does.

And I think the song
will sound much better with it.

Listen to this.

-[♪ tibble-tuber playing]
-Whoa!

-That sounded amazing.
-That's the sound we need.

[chuckles]

Now, let's play the song again
with the tibble-tuber.

[♪ music playing]

-I love it, Ariel.
-Me, too.

It's perfect for the Splash-A-Palooza.

-[dolphin squeals]
-Hey, look.

-[dolphin clicking]
-[Ariel] He likes our song.

[Flounder exclaiming]

Whoo-hoo! [giggles]

And my dance moves.

I sure do.

Hi, there. I'm Delfino.

Hi, Delfino.

I'm Ariel.
And these are my friends.

-Flounder, Lucia and Fernie.
-Hello.

-Hola.
-Bonjour.

I love music so, so much,
and your band is so, so good.

[Delfino clicks]

I was just wondering, uh...

Oh, never mind.

You probably won't.

But maybe...

What is it?

I was wondering if I could,
sort of, maybe, you know...

No, forget it.

It's okay.

What would you like to ask?

Can I play in your band?

I've always wanted to play
in the Splash-A-Palooza.

It's always been my dream.

-Yeah.
-Uh-huh.

Of course you can play with us.

[Delfino squealing]

Whoa! What a fun squeal.

[Delfino squeals]

That's my squealy laugh.

A dolphin squeal
is a very loud and high-pitched sound.

Ooh! You sure know your facts.

I might know a fact or two.

So, do you sing, dance,
play an instrument?

Um, I'm not sure.

I was so excited
to be part of your band,

I didn't really think
about what I could do.

Don't you worry.

If your dream is to play
in the Splash-A-Palooza,

then we'll find
something clam-amazing

for you to do in our band.

Yeah. Let's practice some more

and figure out what Delfino's good at.

Great idea, Lucia.

[Delfino squealing]

First, let's hear you sing.

Ariel will demonstrate.

[♪ vocalizing]

That sounds so beautiful, Ariel.

Thank you. [chuckles] Now, you try.

I don't know.

You can do it, Delfino.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

[♪ tibble-tuber plays]

[♪ vocalizes out of tune]

[Delfino clears throat]

[screaming]

[Flounder] Whoa!

Um, Delfino?

[clears throat] How'd I do?

-[objects shattering]
-[Delfino gasps]

Oh.

Oops. I'm sorry.

Um, maybe singing isn't my thing.

Maybe it isn't, but that's okay.

We'll find something else
for you to do in the band. You'll see.

Ooh, ooh. I have an idea we can try.

Maybe you can play
this pandereta, Delfino.

I'll play with it!

Whee! [laughing]

That's not quite how it works, Flounder.

Here. Let me show you, Delfino.

[laughing] That's so, so cool, Lucia.

Here. Now you try it.

[taps pandereta]

Like that?

Yeah, just a little harder.

[Delfino taps pandereta
and squeals happily]

[Lucia] That's it.

[♪ music playing]

[Delfino squealing and clicking]

-[thudding]
-[all exclaim]

Um, I think it's stuck.

I'm so sorry, Lucia.

It's okay.
Do you need help getting it off?

Nope. I got it.

-Hang on, Delfino.
-Let us help you.

[Fernie] Got it. Whoo!

Whoa!

[thudding]

Maybe the pandereta
is not your thing either.

[Delfino chuckles awkwardly]

Well, we know
Delfino isn't a singer.

And he can't play the pandereta.

[Delfino squealing in sadness]

[Ariel] Oh, no, he's getting sad.

Friends, we told him that we'd help him
figure out what he's good at.

There has to be something
Delfino can do in our band.

Well, we'd better figure it out soon.

-It's almost time for Splash-A-Palooza.
-Hmm.

Hmm.

Well, we have to keep thinking.

[chuckles] Hey, I know.

Delfino.

Maybe you can play my tibble-tuber.

[♪ tibble-tuber playing]

Wowsie!

That tubble-top,
I mean, teeble-tub.

I mean, that human thing
sounds so, so cool.

It has a high-pitched sound
that really makes our song sound special.

-[Lucia and Fernie] Mmm-hmm.
-Wanna try it?

Um, I don't know.

Do you think I can?

Oh, yes!

This could definitely be--

My clam-azing thing to do in the band?

You got it.

[inhales deeply]

Well, you don't have to blow that hard.

Whee!

There goes Flounder.

[exclaiming]

[gasps] Uh-oh.

[Flounder laughing]

[Delfino squeals]

Looks like your tubble-taber
is not my thing either.

[Delfino sighs]

Wait, Delfino,
you can't give up now.

You said your dream is
to play at Splash-A-Palooza.

Oh, it's okay, Ariel.

Thank you all for trying to help me
find something to do in the band.

But maybe I don't belong
in the band after all.

I'm not good at anything.

Oh, no. Don't say that, Delfino.

Everyone's good at something.

It's okay.

I'll still cheer for you
from the audience.

[sighs]

Ariel, the Splash-A-Palooza
is about to start.

We have to get to the Marketplace,

or we won't have time
to perform our song.

Come on.

[sighs] All right.

There's Delfino.

[Delfino squealing]

[Ariel] Hmm.

If only there was a way
he could be in our band.

Well, we'll give him
a super fantastic show.

-Okay, Ariel?
-You're right.

Let's do this song for Delfino.

-[tibble-tuber shatters]
-[gasping]

Oh, no!

[gasps] Oh, no!

-Your tibble-tuber broke.
-Oh.

And that's what made
our song so special.

[Delfino squealing]

What's going on?
Why aren't you playing yet?

Our tibble-tuber broke.

[squeals in shock]

And we just don't know
where we're going to find

another high-pitched
squealy sound for our song.

Oh, no!

[squealing]

[gasps] Oops. Sorry.

Don't be sorry.

I love your squeal!

-Yeah, it's so high pitched.
-And squealy.

High pitched and squealy?

[gasps]

Oh, jumping jellyfish,
that's it! [chuckles]

That's the sound we need for our song.

You think my silly squealy sounds
are needed for your song?

They're not silly at all, Delfino.

Your squealy sounds are a part of you,
a part of your voice.

And every voice has a purpose.

So we need you.
Right, everyone?

-Yeah.
-We sure do.

Whoo-hoo! Delfino!

Will you join our band
for the Splash-A-Palooza?

I get to make my dream come true?

Only if you say yes.

[squeals and clicks happily]

[Ariel] Happy Patty Clap.

[both chanting]
Patty clap, patty clap.

Throw your hands up.

Do a little spin and double high fin.

Bravo!

That that was a fin-tastic
clap game routine.

Thanks.

We call it the Patty Clap, Clap.

You should compete
in the Clap Game Competition today.

Oh, we're not ready to compete yet.

But if you thought that was good,

you should Alanna
and Ayanna's hand clap.

They win every year.

-I want to see it.
-Me, too.

All right, let's go check them out.

-[Alanna] Hey, Ariel.
-And friends.

Hey, Alanna, hey, Ayanna.

Can Fernie and Lucia see your clap game
for the competition today?

Shall we show them our Happy?

Happy Flip Clap routine?

[both laughing]

[both chanting] Clap it down, clap it up,
clap it down really low.

Do do a little shimmy
and go with the flow.

Clap it down, spin around, give us a slip.

Twist your tail around
and give a happy flip.

-Fin-tastic.
-Incredible.

I told you, they're the best.

Aw. Thanks, Ariel. It takes--

-[Ayanna] A lot of practice.
-[mirror snaps]

-[gasping]
-Ouch!

Ooh, Ayanna. Are you okay?

Ah. My finger got caught
in the clamshell mirror.

-Ouch.
-Can you still clap?

Let's see.

[winces]

Ow, I'm sorry, Alanna.

I won't be able to compete like this.

Aw, sis.

Is there anything I can do to help?

[Alanna] Hmm.

Hmm. What if you take Ayanna's place
in the competition?

Oh, that's a great idea!

Ariel, you've seen us
do this routine so many times.

You'll be great at it.

I...

Uh, one sec.

What's wrong, Ariel?

Don't you wanna do
the clap game with Alanna?

More than anything. But I can't.

Alanna and Ayanna are twins.

They do everything the same.

I mean, they even finish
each other's sentences.

I think maybe I need some...

Ice for your thumb?

See?

You'll do great with Alanna, Ariel.

-You're very good at clap games.
-Yeah.

-Uh...
-And we always finish each other's...

Huh? Huh?

[Ariel] Hmm?

[Flounder grunts]

Sentences.

[all laughing]

They do need your help, Ariel.

[exhales deeply] Okay.

I'm in.

I'll do the competition with Alanna.

Yes!

Thank you, Ariel.

This is going to be fun. You'll see.

I know you'll do great,
taking my place in the competition.

I'll sure try my best.

Let's get some ice on that thumb.

It'll make it feel better.

Okay. My sisters are counting on me

to do great in the competition,

so I better do this routine
exactly like Ayanna does it.

You got this!

[chuckles] Flounder makes
a great cheerleader,

I'm the cheerleader!

Are you ready to practice
the Happy Flip Clap?

I sure am.

Okay, here's the first part.

We clap it down.

And then we clap it up.

That's right, Ariel.

[chuckles]

Then we clap it down low by doing a chain.

Then we shimmy and fan our tails.

See? Easy, right?

Ready to try it all together
at the right pace?

Mmm-hmm.

[both chanting] Clap it down, clap it up.

-Clap it--
-Clap it really down low.

[Ariel] Whoa!

Whoa. Sorry.

Sorry. Can we try it again?

-Of course.
-[Flounder] Whoo-hoo!

Ariel, Ariel! Whoo-hoo!

Go, Ariel!

[both chanting] Clap it down, clap it up,
clap it really down low.

Do a little shimmy and go with the flow.

[Ariel grunts]

-Oh, sorry.
-That's okay, Ariel.

Do you want to slow down the routine
to make it easier?

No, no.
We don't have to slow it down.

Let's try it again.

-[Fernie] Hey, Ariel.
-Hey, Ariel.

-[Ariel] Hey, friends.
-Hey, everyone.

Let's take a water break.

Oh, no.

We just got started.

And I'm already doing
the routine all wrong.

I loved your shimmy.

Me, too. [chuckles]

Thanks, Lucia.

But seeing them do the routine

is way different from actually doing it.

Well, like you said, you just got started.

-Just keep trying.
-[Flounder] Mmm-hmm.

You're right, Fernie.

I'll keep trying to do the routine

just like my sisters do it.

They're amazing together.

And they're counting on me
to be great like them.

What if you go faster?

Loosen your shoulders like this.

-Uh-oh.
-[Flounder crashes]

-[Fernie winces]
-[Flounder grunting]

That's it. I'll speed things up.

[Alanna] All right. This part is easy.

It's just two claps, a spin and a slide.

First we clap it down,
then we spin around.

Then we do a hand slide.

Okay. Got it.

Let's put it all together.

Clap it down, spin around.

-[Ariel] Spin around
-Whoa!

[Ariel] Whoa!

I think I got it.

Um, Ariel?

-Huh?
-I'm over here, Ariel.

Oh. [chuckles awkwardly]

Sorry.

Why don't we change up the routine?

We can make it a little easier.

No, no, no. I've got it.
Let's just try it again.

Okay, let's get in position.

Yes!

All right. Time for the big finish.

We call this the Happy Flip.

[Ariel gasps]

Ready to try it?

-Let's do it!
-Yeah!

[Alanna chuckles]

[Ariel grunting]

[crashes]

[chuckles awkwardly]

Whoa!

[Ariel grunting]

I'm not sure this is working.

We really can change up the routine.

[grunts] No, Alanna.

I already know the routine.
It's just this last part.

I'll keep trying to land it.

Okay.

Well, I'm going to check on Ayanna.

I'll see you at the competition.

[grunts]

Whoa!

[sighs]

Are you sure you don't wanna
change the routine?

Alanna seems okay with it.

Yeah. Try one you already know.

Ooh! How about you do our
Patty Clap, Clap routine with Alanna?

That's a great idea.

No, I really want to do this routine,
like my sisters do.

They're counting on me.

Gotta keep trying.

[grunting]

[Ariel thuds]

-[Flounder] Oh.
-She's gonna need a lot more practice.

[Ariel grunts]

It's not too late to change up the routine
if you're worried about it.

What? I'm not worried.
Who's worried?

In fact, I'm ready.
I'm more ready than ready.

Look how ready I am!

Clap it down, clap it up,
clap it really--

-Ariel, what?
-[grunts]

Whoa!

That's your angry tail shimmer.

Why are you so upset?

[Ariel sighs]

I'm sorry for tearing your bib.

I wanted to show you
that I could do the Happy Flip Clap

just like you do with Ayanna, but I can't.

[sighs]

Ariel, I know you wanted
to do the routine like Ayanna,

but I never expected you
to be just like her.

-You didn't?
-No!

Ayanna and I practiced
the Happy Flip Clap lots of times.

You and I only practiced it for one day.

I know you would have been
just as good as us

if we had more time to practice.

That's why I asked you
if you want to change up the routine.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I should have said yes.

We still have a little bit of time

before they call us to compete.

Maybe we can come up
with our own routine by then.

What do you think?

[Ariel] Hmm.

Hey, what if we did some of the moves

from the Patty Clap, Clap routine
that I do with Flounder?

Oh, yeah, that's a fun routine.

Jumping jellyfish!

That's it!

We can add all the parts
I do know from your Happy Flip Clap.

That way, we can make a routine
that's yours and mine.

I love that, Ariel!

Let's do it.

[audience cheering and applauding]

We call this routine
the Happy Patty Clap.

-Whoo!
-Whoo-hoo!

[both chanting]
Patty clap, patty clap, double high fin.

Do a little shimmy and give us a spin.

Patty clap, patty clap, patty clap slip.

Do a little shimmy and give a happy flip.

[audience cheering]

-Yay!
-Whoo-hoo! Yay!

That was fin-tastic.

I'm so glad you were able
to step in, Ariel.

And look, my thumb's doing better.

That's great, Ayanna.

And I couldn't have done it

without all of you cheering me on.

You did great out there.

Now will you show us
the Happy Patty Clap?

Absolutely.

[both chanting]
Patty clap, patty clap, double high fin.
