- Breaking news:

it's Take Your Gup to Work Day.

- This just in:

I'm so excited to see your studio, Mom.

[gasps]

Are these all of your award-winning news stories?

- Yep!

This is when Baby Shark and his dad escaped from a rocket.

And here's when he saved Briny's Shop.

And, of course, this was when he pretended to be the mayor.

- Wow. Baby's in the news a lot.

- I tell ya, William, that little shark

is just plain good television.

Now, come on. Let's see the main attraction.

[ethereal music]

- [gasps] The news desk.

- Well, don't just float there; try it out.

- This is William Manta reporting.

I'm having so much fun.

- Ooh, the desk looks good on you, squiddo.

- Oh, Barb.

I can't believe I get to spend the day with the dream team.

- You said it. And the ratings don't lie.

- Without Barb I'd be sunk.

She's the best producer/camera fishy in the seven seas.

- Thanks, partner.

Say, did you tell William about our big surprise?

- What big surprise?

- You're gonna do your own news story.

- No way! You mean I'm gonna be a reporter just like you?

- That's right!

And you can't be a journalist without...

- Big reveal!

Your very own news camera.

Give it a try.

- [gasps] My own camera.

I'm so excited and so nervous.

Here goes nothing.

- [laughs] Don't worry, Angel-fishy.

You'll learn from Barb and me before you go off on your own.

Now let's go cruise for some news.

- [squeals]

The treat shop? Ooh, are you doing a story

on the new tropical chum-yum flavor?

- We are. But we're also going to dig deeper.

- Ooh! You're gonna wanna get this!

- Oh! Yeah!

- The secret to being a good reporter

is finding the heart of the story.

So, Mr. Clownfish, I understand you've got

a new tropical chum-yum flavor on your menu?

- That's right.

- Well, we all know your chum-yums are delicious,

but tell me, what's the story behind this new flavor?

- The story? Well, I guess

this tropical flavor reminds me of home.

You see, my family migrated to Carnivore Cove

when I was just a little gup.

One bite of this tropical chum-yum

takes me back to my old home waters.

- Beautiful. Thank you.

There you have it; Mr. Clownfish

traveled across the sea

to share a taste of home with you and me.

- And cut.

Oh, gets you right in the gills.

- That was amazing, Mom!

I never knew Mr. Clownfish moved from so far away.

- See? It's all about finding the heart of the story.

Now let's see what else we can dig up.

Briny, what can you tell us about this sale you're having?

- It's a whale of a sale.

I'm making extra space on my shop floor.

- Finteresting.

And what's the story behind this whale of a sale?

- Well, the truth is,

I am making room so I can have a karaoke party!

- Karaoke? - That's right. I love karaoke,

and I'm not afraid to sing it out.

♪ I love karaoke in the morning ♪

♪ I love karaoke in the night ♪

♪ I love pop songs so I sing pop songs ♪

♪ 'Cause karaoke feels so right ♪

♪ It's my karaoke song, my karaoke song ♪

♪ Please sing along to my karaoke song ♪

- There you have it. Briny the shopkeeping whale

loves karaoke from her head to her tail.

- How does she do it?

- She is just that good.

- Well, that should cover us for today.

Think you're ready to find a story of your own, William?

- Am I? I'm gonna find the best story ever!

- Well, don't do it alone. Every reporter needs backup.

- That's right.

- I got you, Rayna. - I got you, Barb.

William, you'll need a Barb of your own to help you out.

Is there any fishy you trust to do the job?

- Hmm, let me think.

- Yes! Yes! A million times yes!

Of course I'll be your Barb!

- Oh, fantastic!

Now we just need to find the perfect story

before the end of the day.

- No problem! Uh, how do we do that?

- My mom says it's all about finding the heart of a story.

- Hmm. Let's see.

Heart, heart, heart, heart, heart.

- [humming] Oh.

- Over there!

- Excuse me, Mrs. Grandma Shark.

What exciting things are going on in your garden?

- Well, I'm waiting of my sunfish flowers to bloom.

They'll be dazzling!

- What a scoop!

Let's get a close-up of these flowers.

Breaking news.

These dazzling sunfish flowers are about to bloom.

Uh, how long does this usually take?

- A few weeks. But they're worth the wait.

- Weeks? Cut! Cut!

- I guess we'll need to find something else, huh?

- Ooh! I found it! I found my treasure!

- Ooh, did you hear that, William?

My grandpa found some buried treasure.

- That sounds newsworthy to me.

Baby, get this.

Mr. Grandpa Shark, what can you tell us

about this amazing treasure you've discovered?

Is it gold, rubies, pearls?

- Better! The TV remote's been missing for a week!

Teensy must've buried it.

- [chittering]

- Sorry, William. That wasn't much of a story either.

- Yeah. We'd better find another one.

And fast. To the heart of the story!

- It's almost time.

Begin countdown.

- Look, William!

Those fishies are about to launch a rocket!

- [gasps] That'll make a great story!

We're here at the site of an undersea rocket

as these fishies prepare to launch into hydro space.

both: Three, two, one.

[bell rings]

Lunchtime!

- Uh, aren't you gonna launch that rocket?

- Sorry, our only mission

right now is to finish these submarine sandwiches.

- Engage taste buds.

- Hmm. Looks like this space launch

was more of a space lunch.

- That's okay. We just need one salty sweet scoop of a story.

- Oh, it's no use. We didn't find a story,

and I have to go give my report right now!

- How does your mom make it look so easy?

- It's like she has a super power.

Finding the heart of the story just comes so naturally to her.

[gasps] Great gulping gills!

That's it! Baby, toss me that camera.

- You found a story? What is it?

- You'll just have to tune in to find out.

- He is just that good.

- Breaking news.

[clears throat] Breaking news!

- Mom!

- Oh, there you are, angelfishy.

Ready for your report?

- Yep!

I found the best story ever!

- All right, you two, you're live in three, two, one.

- You're watching Carnivore Cove News.

I'm your host, Rayna Manta, and today

I'm joined by a special guest with a special report.

Say shello to my son, William.

- Thank you, Mom. My story is all about

one of the most fincredible fishies in town.

- Oh, sounds like quite a story.

And who might that be?

- You! [chuckles]

- Wh--what?

- Roll the tape, Barb.

My mom spends every day

looking for the best news stories in town.

No fishies would be able to share their stories

without her.

Because she cares so much about doing a good job,

she's the heart of every story in town.

[together] Aww! - How sweet.

- She's the best news fishy

in the whole wide water and this reporter's personal hero.

- Oh, angelfishy, I don't know what to say.

This is the sweetest, nicest, most amazing story ever!

Come here! Mmm!

- This is William Manta.

- And one very proud mom.

both: Signing off!

- [sniffs] Yep, that right there is plain good television.

- , ,

, .

- Blah! - [laughs]

- Boing!

If I touch the ceiling a few more times

I'll break my record.

[grunting]

- Um...

Um, Baby...

- I know what you're gonna say.

- You do? - Yeah. And you're right,

I have to bounce harder to break my record.

[grunting]

[gasps] Oh, no! My bed broke?

Heh-heh, heh-heh-heh.

Uh, I wonder how that happened.

- What was that loud noise?

- It sounded a lot like shenanigans.

- What happened to your bed?

- Looks like Baby broke more than just

his touching the ceiling record.

- I can't believe it! - I know. Shocking, right?

They just don't make beds like they used to.

- Baby, beds are for sleeping, not bouncing.

- Sorry. I guess I got carried away.

- I'm sorry too, Mrs. Shark.

I underestimated the power of my encouragement.

- Ah, well, the good news is, we can fix the bed.

- Guess you'll have to sleep with Daddy and me for now.

- You mean I get to sleep in your bed?

- Well, yeah, but just until your bed is fixed.

- Shark family sleepover!

Ahh, a perfect fit.

- So you don't miss your bed, huh?

- No way! My bed is boring. It's funner being with you two.

So what should we do first?

- What do you mean "first"?

- Baby, we usually just go to sleep.

- At a sleepover? No way!

Let's tell bedtime stories!

- Oh-h*! Will your mom and I be in the story?

- Well, of course! Mom can be the queen,

and you can be the brave knight, Sir Flossalot.

- Ah! Ha-ha!

Well, will Sir Flossalot fight sea dragons?

- No! Worse! Cavities!

[laughter]

- [yawns]

And after the stories, we can play This or That.

- What's This or That? - Well, it's where you choose

between two jaw-some made-up things.

Like, would you rather have a never-ending kelparoni pizza

or three wishes from a...

Good morning! - Huh?

- Ouch.

- Ah, wow, I slept great! How about you?

- Well, I've slept better.

- Why haven't we been doing this for my entire life?

One family, one bed. Makes sense.

[both chuckling]

- We're not sardines, Baby.

- Yeah, we can't be crammed together all the time.

- Or can we?

Ahh.

- [gasps]

- Hi, Mommy!

- Hi, Baby.

- You missed a spot.

- Thank you, Baby.

[both groaning]

- Ah!

- Ahh, sleeping in your bed is the best!

What could be better than nonstop family togetherness?

- Only sleep. Precious, precious sleep.

- Now, who's hungry? Race you to the kitchen!

[giggling]

- [groans]

- [yawns]

Ugh! Ohh!

- [grunts]

Goal! [laughs]

Wow, sleepovers with Mommy and Daddy

have really improved my game.

I bet professional finball players have sleepovers

with their parents too.

[walkie-talkie static]

- Sweet moves, Baby.

- Hey, William, sorry I couldn't hang out yesterday.

- Where have you been?

I had to play hide and hunt with my shadow.

And it's really good.

[gasps] See? It found me again.

- Well, William, I figured out a loophole,

and now I can be with my parents all the time.

I've been sleeping in their bed all week.

- I'm not following. What problem does that solve?

- You see, usually when you go to bed,

you have to leave your parents,

but--and pay attention to this next part--

what I figured out is,

maybe you don't.

Pshoo!

- Uh-huh.

- [yawns]

Hmm. - Dishes, dishes.

Doing dishes.

- I don't know. Your parents seem kind of out of it.

Maybe they're not getting enough sleep?

- Nah. I've been sleeping with them every night.

If something were keeping them awake, I would've noticed.

- Look, Baby, I get it.

I used to wanna be with my mom all the time too.

But it can be really fun to do things on your own sometimes,

you know, to be findependent.

- Yeah. That does sound fun.

But you know what else sounds fun?

Family time all the time!

Sleepover forever! [giggles]

- [sighs]

Round three?

- Mommy? Daddy? Where are you?

I got us a pajama sweater big enough to fit all three of us!

- Whew. That was a close call.

- Okay.

These sleepovers have to stop. We're way too tired.

- I don't know. Maybe we're overreacting.

Maybe Baby doesn't want to be with us all the time.

- There you are! - Ahh!

[both groaning]

- Perfect.

Fits one size too small, so we can be extra close.

I want to be with you all the time!

- What were you saying about him

not wanting to be with us all the time?

- I know it's still light out, but who's ready for bed?

- Isn't it great?

- Now you can sleep in your own room again.

- Then I guess there's no reason for me

to sleep with you anymore.

- Guess not.

- So I'll just sleep in this cold, empty bed...

alone...by myself.

- That's the idea.

Good night, Baby.

Whew.

That ought to take care of-- huh?

- Huh? - How?

- So whose turn is it to tell the bedtime story?

- Ooh, well, I was hoping to hear

about Sir Flossalot's flosstastic feats.

- [clears throat]

- I mean, we can't do bedtime stories tonight, squiddo.

- Baby Shark, we love you, but as a growing fishy,

it's important to spend time by yourself.
