-[beeping]

-[keyboard clacks]

Uh, how about here?

The currents are too warm

for the magic oysters to survive.

Dinnertime, my ocean buds.

My favorite part of the day.

Go, we've got this.

[giggles] Tyler, wait for me!

[laughs] Oh! How cute.

He's ticklish.

You're going to be the sparkliest

turtle in the whole sea.

-Oh!

-[animals honk]

[they laugh]

So, this is where you've been hiding,

my mermaid princess.

[growls softly]

[laughs malevolently]

[grunts]

[grunts]

[sighs]

I know this cursed magic.

Captain John Silver, my enemy.

You may be long dead, but the hex

you put on your precious Pirates' Cove

protects it from me still.

Spell or no spell, Merlinda.

We will meet soon. [laughs]

[grunts] Huh?

Merlinda? You okay?

Yeah.

I just had a funny feeling for a minute.

[gasps]

[Sasha yelps]

It's got me! Help! Help!

[sighs with relief]

Ugh.

Huh?

[twinkling]

I think I see a pearl.

Oh, I think it is! A pearl!

[strains]

[sighs]

[groans]

Almost.

[sighs] There's always next time, right?

We'll keep looking.

We've found six oyster beds now,

but no pearls.

I bet all this pollution

has something to do with it.

Not even a magical oyster

can eat a pair of sunglasses.

We'll work with Celia

to find another pearl bed.

We can go out again tomorrow morning.

Yeah. She did say she had

some new ideas where to look.

The Sun's up. Tyler and Celia

are probably heading to school.

We can meet them there.

Hey, everyone. Any luck?

Uh-uh.

Well, I found more possible

oyster bed locations.

Hey, you'll find one tomorrow.

I know it.

I hope so.

Well, I have something

that'll cheer you up.

[grunts] Classes are canceled!

Tyler, what are you doing?

The whole school is going to the amusement

park because today is

[all] John Silver Day.

Exactly! The good pirate

who founded Morton Bay.

-Resident of our very own Pirates' Cove.

-Really?

Did he say pirates?

He said amusement park,

whatever that is.

-It sounds like fun.

-[Fred] Oh, you bet it's fun.

It's been closed to the public

while my dad revamps it.

So we'll have the whole place

to ourselves.

[Sasha] The whole place to ourselves!

Oh, Sasha!

-Hold on. This means we can sneak off.

-What?

Get back in the water

and keep looking for pearls.

-[Sasha yelps]

-That is a plan.

Yes. Uh, what's the plan?

-Let's go, girls.

-[Sasha] Right behind you.

What about the amusement park?

[teacher] Students?

I believe the bus is this way.

-Oh, so close.

-[groans]

Hey, sparring partner. I didn't know

you were into amusement parks.

I'm not.

-Uh, Nerissa.

-Merlinda, it's okay.

You could use a little time

to unwind and have some fun.

-Hey!

-[tires screech]

Tracy. Seriously?

Seriously amazing! [gasps]

Oh, I was in such a hurry

to offer you a ride.

Just you, Tyler.

-No, thanks.

-Um, Tracy?

If Tyler doesn't want to sit

in all that shininess, I will.

Yeah no.

[gasps]

-What is with your sister lately?

-Uh?

She will not leave me alone.

Okay, class, keep it moving.

[engine rumbles]

[indistinct chatter]

[girl] That one. That one.

-The shark!

-There you go.

[girl giggles]

Look, Mommy! I'm a shark!

Yay, I'm a shark! [laughs]

[gasps]

[grunts]

Hm.

Ah!

[faint sizzling]

Ah.

[groans]

[Alex clears throat]

Forgive the intrusion, Your Majesty.

I was hoping to speak with you

about the princess.

It was my fault

that she got through the portal.

I'm very much aware of that.

I have a plan to find her

and bring her home.

If only that were possible.

Part of our training, sire,

included time in the lab examining

this captured sea monster specimen.

I'm going to use it as a disguise.

Hm.

[brakes squeak]

This place is a dream!

[laughs]

Oh. Oh!

"You are here."

[gasps] You guys, we are here.

[laughs]

I want to ride the roller coaster.

I want to ride the tilt-a-whirl.

Ooh, I want to ride the scrambler.

That's a lot.

Where do you want to start?

[barks]

I agree, Beau Jr., the Ferris wheel it is.

[sighs] I just wish we could be

out looking for pearls.

Uh, you know what?

I think I'll stick

to solid ground for now.

-Sasha I'm with you.

-[Fred grunts]

[giggles]

Secret mermaid handshake!

Whoo-whoo!

-[trills tongue]

-[Fred] Me too!

Uh, if that's okay.

Yay! I'm going to make our best

HeyYou reels ever!

You're not afraid of heights?

We might have to ride some of these

a lot to get the footage I need.

I'll be fine. I've never actually

been on any of these rides.

-How rough can they be?

-Awesome!

Bye, guys.

Uh, wait for me.

-So, ready for a good time?

-I guess.

If by "good time" you mean sneaking off

so we can get back to searching

for our next magic oyster bed,

then yes, we are ready.

Listen, you work so hard

looking for pearls,

it's important to relax

once in a while.

Give me a chance to show you some

fun. Come on, you'll love it, I promise.

I'll catch up with you guys later.

Come on. There's got to be something fun

to do around here.

Oh my gosh, the Gluttonous Octopus!

Four hits and the prize is yours.

I'm sorry, Tyler,

I keep thinking about

The pearls, I know.

Which is why we need to win this guy.

His sonar could help your search.

That's a stuffed dolphin.

Shh. He can hear you.

[chuckles]

Those are yours. You can win dolphins

unless I win them first.

Mm. Oh, really?

Then let the games begin.

You're never going

to get your hands on that.

Okay, we'll see about that.

-[yawns]

-[bell clangs]

Here goes.

-Ten points!

-Hm.

[grunts]

[laughs]

-20 points.

-Merlinda. Focus.

[grunts]

-Yes!

-[Tyler] Keep going. [grunts]

-Huh.

-Last one.

[beeping]

Game over.

[laughs] That's not fair. You cheated!

Princess, may I present

your mighty new steed?

You may. [laughs]

-Hmm.

-Hey, Nerissa.

[Nerissa grunts]

[growls]

Nice to see you, too.

[Sasha] Live from Pirates' Cove

Amusement park.

It's Sasha, Celia, and Fred,

conquerors of all that

spin, whip and twirl.

And sitting still.

We're good at that, too.

[Celia and Fred groan]

You okay, Celia?

-[groans]

-Was it that fifth time

-on the roller coaster?

-[gags]

Just take some deep,

cleansing breaths.

We still have, like,

all day to hit the tilt-a-whirl.

Huh? [groans]

-[Sasha] Aw! Look!

-[Tyler honks]

Is there anything more romantic

than a boy pretending to be a seal

for the mermaid he loves?

Ow!

Um, sorry, but your balloon

just poked me in the eye.

Whatever.

[groans]

Celia, just so you know,

if you lose your lunch at my dad's park,

you're banned for life.

What? You can't do that.

I can do whatever I want. I'm Tracy.

[groans]

-Later, losers.

-Yeah, what she said.

[they laugh]

-[Tyler laughs]

-Uh!

[they laugh]

Can you believe that Merlinda girl

all over my boyfriend?

Well, I'm gonna fix that.

All right. Go long.

-Hey!

-Sorry, bro.

Dude, that arm of yours is slick.

[grunts]

[they laugh]

Seriously, bro.

-Huh?

-[Sean] Monsters!

I knew there were monsters. [yells]

[they laugh]

Hey, check it out.

Maybe the Haunted Swamp ride

was too scary for him.

-[they laugh]

-Yeah.

Oh, it looks like it's closed for repairs.

It'll be empty.

Even better.

This will be awesome.

[makes spooky noise]

-Real spooky.

-Mommy!

[they laugh]

-[grunts]

-[bell chimes]

[beeping]

[Nerissa grunts]

Hi-yah!

-[beeping]

-[grunts]

-[beeping]

-[grunts]

-[beeping]

-[prize alarm]

Woo-hoo!

[laughs]

Tyler, I'm so glad I found you.

[groans]

-Tracy. [sighing] What is it now?

-It's your sister.

She got real sick on a ride

and needs to go home.

-Where is she?

-[scoffs] She's asking for you, Tyler.

No one else.

-She's so embarrassed.

-Hm.

Well, uh

-Go. She's family.

-Uh. All right.

-I'll catch up with you later.

-Great. Come on.

[yelps]

-[girls laugh]

-Huh?

-Cheese.

-[shutter clicks]

[Merlinda] Wait! Celia!

Are you okay?

Yeah. We're fine.

[Merlinda] I thought you were sick.

-[Celia] Who told you that?

-Hm.

[chuckles] Mm-mm.

Celia got sick in the tunnel of love?

Actually, that tracks.

Just sit. Mm.

Your sister is right inside.

Trust me.

[they shudder]

Whoa!

Ooh! Spooky.

[nervously] Oh.

-[skeleton laughs]

-[Chris yelps]

[Chris laughs]

[phone rings]

Hunter. Check this out.

Me and the guys snuck

into the Haunted Swamp ride.

[skeleton laughs]

[chuckles] You're missing out, man.

This ride is lit.

[low growling]

[roars]

We're giving ourselves

a little behind the scenes tour.

-Oh, look at this.

-Huh?

They got all kinds of sick

animatronics down here.

[gasps] Sea monsters.

Guys, Chris and the jocks

stumbled in to sea monsters.

-They're in big trouble.

-Don't worry, Celia, we'll help them.

Huh?

Hunter? Where did Chris say he was?

The Haunted Swamp ride.

Um We're thirsty.

Why don't you grab us something to drink?

Okay.

-Let's move.

-Hm.

-So where's my sister?

-Shush, shush, shush.

-Isn't this nice?

-Uh, Tracy, do you mind?

[Tracy groans]

You know we're not

boyfriend/girlfriend, right?

[laughs] You're so funny.

You know, that Merlinda

is no good for you.

Uh-huh.

The other day, she came to school

with seaweed in her hair.

She sure did.

You need someone who appreciates

your dreamy Tyler-ness.

[groans]

[grunts]

[phone vibrates]

[phone rings out]

[Celia] Come on, Tyler, answer! Answer!

[they pant]

No answer.

[Fred] The Haunted Swamp ride

is closed for renovations.

No one should be in there.

It's not safe.

[barks]

Uh, sorry, Beau Jr.

Your cotton candy will have to wait.

[sad bark]

We're going in.

Uh, should I come, too?

Uh, you should go rescue Tyler

from your sister.

Beau Jr. can sniff him out.

Go, Beau, find Tyler.

Right behind you, Beau Jr.

-Okay, ready?

-There you are, guys.

I've been looking all over for you.

I got your drinks.

-[gasps] Yummy, yummy.

-All right.

I got a pumpkin shake

with double caramel and

[yells]

[shudders]

[all exclaim]

Well, we can't have him fighting

monsters with us, can we?

-[Sasha] Uh

-He's tough. He'll be fine.

I think she likes you.

[chuckles weakly]

[roars]

Watch this. [grunts]

[snarls]

Did you see that?

[grunts]

[sea monster growls]

Hey, guys,

I'm getting kind of freaked out.

I'm beginning to think this ride

is seriously malfunctioning.

[sea monsters growl]

[whimpers]

We have to save them.

But, Merlinda, we can't let the humans

see us using our powers.

We can't trust them. No offense, Celia.

None taken, I guess.

We just have to be careful

and stay out of sight.

-Hm. A stealth operation, I like it.

-Let's do it.

Pearl power!

I am strong I stay true

I feel the pearl the miracle ♪

I have the power ♪

Pearl ♪

You got the power to love ♪

You got the strength to be tough ♪

You got the magic

When the pearl's by your side ♪

Under the moon down below ♪

Mermaids will shine and glow ♪

Strong as the ocean's spirit

We unite ♪

[whimpering]

[growls]

[roars]

[all whimper]

[growling]

[groans]

[laughs]

[chuckles]

I'm starting to think Celia isn't here.

And I shouldn't be either.

Tyler, any boy would k*ll

to be sitting where you are.

Celia's not sick, is she?

You, on the other hand

[barks]

Oh! Uh, Tracy.

Could you close your eyes for just a sec?

Oh, Tyler.

Mm

Mm. [makes kissy noises]

[groans]

Oh!

[Tyler grunts]

Hm?

Tyler?

Tyler!

Uh! Uh!

[Tracy shouts] Tyler!

Hm?

Huh?

Glad you could join us.

Did you and Tracy have fun?

-She totally tricked me.

-Later.

We gotta help them.

Hurry! Climb up!

Let's go.

[they grunt]

[growling]

-Fred, get Chris and the guys out of here.

-Mm-hm.

Um, this way, guys.

It's safe to come out.

Come on, let's go.

[they gasp]

[they scream]

[grunts]

[Barbarossa chuckles]

So, you are what all the fuss is about,

Princess.

Barbarossa. You are the reason

my people are in danger.

And why my father is risking his life

to charge the pearls.

I'm a pirate of many talents.

[yells] Get her!

[roaring]

Waterspout!

Ha!

-Merlinda!

-No!

Yah!

Uh?

[laughs]

Electro expl*si*n!

[roaring]

[grunting]

[laughs]

-[gasps]

-[Barbarossa grunts]

What now, Princess?

You know you can't call

for your mother.

[roars]

[snarls]

[snarls]

-Here goes!

-[roars]

Ten points.

Twenty!

[roars]

-[Tyler] Thirty, 40.

-[laughs]

[Tyler] Fifty, 60, 70.

[roars]

[grunts]

[chuckles]

Now then, I'll collect my prize.

Go, girls.

[grunts]

[grunts]

Let's get out of here!

The whole building is coming down.

Don't fret, Princess!

We will meet again soon!

I promise.

[rumbling]

-[yells]

-Celia, watch out!

[grunting]

Come on, move!

Hurry!

[whimpers]

-Thanks, Celia.

-You really saved our butts.

If you didn't drop that net,

we'd be toast.

Bruh, that ride

definitely needs to be fixed.

Yeah, I was legit freaked.

Those monsters were like, full on real.

[nervous laughter]

[laughs] Yeah! Animatronics have come

a long way since we were kids, right?

-Mm.

-Bring my daughter home to me.

I promise, Your Highness,

I will bring her back.

Hm.

[clanking]

[whooshing]

[barks]

Go, Beau, fetch!

[groans happily]

-[Beau Jr. Barks]

-[gasps]

[barks]

Yay!

Who's the smartest boy? Huh?

Uh, Merlinda.

You know, seeing Barbarossa here in

person, it somehow got a lot more real.

And he seems

to have his sights set on you.

-[grunts]

-Oh!

Merlinda, we won't let anything

happen to you.

-You've got us.

-Yeah, you've got us.

Also Dolphy.

And he's definitely ready to head bonk

some sea monsters, right, Dolphy?

Mermaids swim together

-[all] forever.

-[they laugh]
