Yeah. I loved the part
where you said "Waverly,"

because that's my name.

-Thank you, thank you.
-[Mom] There she is.

See? Told you I knew the way.

After four wrong turns.

Mom, you're just in time,
we're playing a concert.

Watch us. Kelp, you have
to sing with me.

Singing with you is
my favorite thing
in the whole wide ocean.

[Mom] Sorry, Scallop.
But we've gotta skedaddle.

Skedaddle where?

To the tuskist.

For your first
tusk-cleaning appointment.

But I promised Cups
I was gonna high-fin her.

That's gonna take a while.

And there's Waverly.

She doesn't have a tusk.

She might feel bad if I go
to the tuskist and she can't.

Oh. That's very
thoughtful of you,

but I think
Waverly and Cups will be okay.

Uh...

Uh, Kelp, do we have that, uh,
starfish-bee game today?

Mm-mm.

Squeak, squeak.

Do I have something
I have to do with you?

Mm-mm.

The only thing you
have to do today

is go to the tuskist.

And we'd better get going.
We don't want to be late.

I won't be late.

'Cause I'm not going!

It's okay to be afraid
of something new.

I'm not afraid.
I just don't wanna go because,

because, because...

I'm scared.

Well, that's the same as afraid.

It's not fair.

None of you have tusks,

so you don't have
to go to the scary tuskist.

True, but I do know
what it's like

to be scared of something new.

Remember that time I got caught

in the current and discovered
Unicorn Land?

-Yeah.
-That was scary.

Unicorn Land isn't scary at all.

It's magnificent.

But it was scary at first,
then it was magnificent.

Maybe the tuskist will
be like that.

Okay. Let's go.

That's my brave girl.

Bye, Waverly.

Bye, Cups.

-Wanna come?
-Nah, I'll pass.

Dr. Sparkletusk cleans tusks
with, blah, seaweed.

Hello? It's slimy.

[all chuckling]

Bye, Cruz.

Uh, I think it's this way.

Greetings, Tuskingtons.

Hi, Mr. Pearly.
Hi, Mrs. Polypdopoulos.

And where are all of you
off to this fine morning?

The tuskist.

[blows raspberry]

It's Scallop's first appointment
with Dr. Sparkletusk.

Oh, I just love getting
my tusk polished.

There's nothing like the feeling
of a clean and shiny tusk.

Whoa, that sounds
pretty cool, doesn't it?

Mm-mm.

Well, we'd better get going.

-We don't wanna be late.
-I don't mind being late.

Hmm. Mm-hm.

Oh?

Dr. Sparkletusk's office
should be right around here.

Huh? How did we get back here?

Hi, Mr. Pearly.

Hi, Mrs. Polypdopoulos.
We're here again.

Oh, hello again, Tuskingtons.

Hmm.

Hey, Mom, why don't we
let Scallop lead?

She has a knack for knowing
the right way to go.

I do have a knack.

Even if I don't want to
go to the tuskist.

Uh, no. No, no. We just took
a wrong turn at the coral reef.

I've got it now. Come on, kids.

Mom, can Scallop lead now?

Greetings, Tuskingtons.

[chuckles] Well, that's funny.
Uh, I think we need to...

It's okay.

I know how you feel.

Sometimes I wish I had a tusk,

so I wouldn't get lost
in my own seaweed garden.

Psst. Let the kid take the lead.

She's the one with
the navigational tool
on her head after all.

-What's on my head?
-[Pearly] Your tusk.

It's a navigational tool.

Which means it helps
you get around.

[gasps] Is that why
I never get lost?

You betcha.

[humming]

Mom, I'll lead the way.

I do have the navigation tool
on my head after all.

[Mom] Okay.

Oh! But we've really
gotta hurry now.

Okay. I still don't want to go
to the tuskist, but follow me.

This way.

No, this way.

Mm-hm? Mm-mm.

I don't know which way.

-That's okay, sweetie.
-No, it's not.

My tusk doesn't know
where to go.

I think it's broken.

Don't worry.

We'll figure it out.

You kids wait here.

I'm gonna go ask those
sea turtles for directions.

[groans]

Mr. Pearly said that

when he gets his tusk cleaned,

it keeps him swimming
in the right direction.

So maybe your tusk isn't broken.

Maybe it just needs
to be cleaned.

That's it, Kelp.

I just need to get
my tusk cleaned.

That's my girl.

Ah. And I got directions.
So let's go.

But I'm still scared.

Hey, Scallop.

You like it
when we sing together, right?

More than anything.

Then I know just the song.

Oh!

I'm ready to give

Ah. Great. Because
it's right there.

Oh, I mean, right there.

-Ready?
-Ready.

Wait.

Okay.

I'm really ready now.

Howdy, Tuskingtinos.

And you must be my next
patient, Scallop.

How'd you know?

Because I'm the tuskist,

and I do believe
this right here is a tusk.

Oh, and it's a special one.

-[gasps] It is?
-Oh, yeah.

Did you know
not many girl narwhals

even have a tusk?

Is that why my mom
doesn't have one?

Mm-hm.

Whoa.

So my tusk is really special.

It is.

And it just needs
a little polish.

So, hop on up,
little Tuskingtino.

It's okay. I'll stay right
by your side the whole time.

Me too.

And you'll hold my fin?

I won't let it go.

And you'll hold this one, right?

Uh, what's happening?

You're all done.

[Scallop] I am?

Take a look for yourself.

Wow.

It's so shiny and sparkly.

It's so glowy.

-How'd I do?
-Great.

And it wasn't
so scary after all.

Just like the song said, Kelp.

[both] Bye, Dr. Sparkletusk.

Thank you, Dr. Sparkletusk.

I can't wait to come back.

I look forward to it.

Oh, and, Kelp,
next time it'll be your turn.

I'll make that horn sparkle.

Don't worry, I'll hold your hoof
the whole time.

What a big day for my big girl.

I'm so proud of you.

I can't wait to get home

to show Dad my new sparkly,
glowy, shiny tusk.

Hmm.

-Huh?
-[groans]

I got this, Mom.

This way.

-Hey, wait for us.
-Wait for us.
