[♪ joyful theme music playing]

Come on, Ariel,
we're almost there!

I'm coming Flounder! [giggles]

You sure are excited to go exploring
with Tantie Chantale!

So excited!
I brought my brand new...

exploring hat!

You definitely look ready
to explore!

-Hmm-hmm.
-Oh, and look!

We're here!

-There's Tantie Chantale!
-[Chantale grunting]

Hi, Tantie!

[Chantale] Hello,
my sweet fin!

And Flounder, you certainly look ready
to go exploring.

-It's the hat.
-[Chantale and Ariel laughing]

I'm glad you're here
to help me search these sands.

Today, we'll be looking around
inside this square of kelp rope.

Why are we
looking here, Tantie?

Well, yesterday I was
exploring the sand right here,

and I found something
truly clam-azing!

[Ariel and Flounder] Whoa!

It kind of looks
like a music note.

Like on Sebastian's
music sheets!

It does, doesn't it?

But I'm not sure
what it's for.

Maybe if we keep
looking around,

we can figure out what it is.

Ancient Atlanticans
were always building

such finteresting
and wonderful things.

Then let's explore!

-[grunting]
-[swishing]

[both laughing]

[gurgling]

[♪ slow instrumental
music plays]

[grunting]

[sighs] Anybody find anything?

[inhales, exhales deeply]
Nope.

Me neither. Phew!

Wait a minute... What's this?

[♪ hopeful theme
music playing]

-[rustling]
-[Flounder grunts]

[all grunting]

[Flounder] Bubbling Beardfish!

It's... It's...

What are we looking at?

Hey!

The shape reminds me
of something.

Tantie, may I see
that rock you found?

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

-[♪ soft musical chime]
-Huh?

Did you hear that?

It sounded like a little song.

[rumbling]

-Uh-oh.
-[Flounder exclaims]

-[Flounder] Huh?
-[Chantale] Um...

[Flounder] Whoa!

[Ariel echoing] It's a tunnel!

Can we go in there?
Can we, can we, can we?

Let's go explore!

-[Flounder] Whoo-hoo!
-[Ariel] Yes! Whoo!

[♪ captivating music playing]

[Ariel] Whoa!

[Flounder] Neat-o!

Ooh... Wow!

What is this place?

It's a machine!

I've read all about
these old machines

hidden all around the ocean.

Machine? What kind of machine?

Let's see what it does.

-[♪ amusing music playing]
-[grunts]

Whoa!

[♪ musical chime playing]

[gasps] There's that
little song again!

[clattering]


[Ariel] It's... It's moving!

[Flounder] This is so cool!

Wow. It's so mysterious!

Yeah, what does it do?

I'm really not sure.

But it's up to us to see.

[gasps] Ooh, will you help us figure out
this mystery, Tantie?

-Please?
-[Chantale chuckles]

Of course! Let's take
another look around.

What do you see?

[swishing]

[Ariel and Flounder]
More levers!

Can we pull those too, Tantie?

It's the only way
we'll get this old machine

to start working.

Ooh, I'll try this one!

[grunting]

[grunts, exhales]

[♪ musical chime playing]

-[creaking]
-Whoa!

[Ariel] I wonder
what this does.

[creaking, warbles]

-[all exclaiming]
-[warbles]

Ooh, a bubble ball!

[creaking, warbles]

[Ariel] It's like...
a bubble launcher!

-Oh.
-[both laughing]

Okay, bubble launcher,

that's enough bubble ball--
[screams, laughing]

-I never thought I'd say this, but...
-Whoa!

That's too many bubble ba*ls!

Whoo! We've got to
turn it off!

We've gotta-- Gah! Get to-- Whoa!
That lever!

[grunting] Yeah!

Nice one, Ariel. Ah!

Ooh! [grunts]

[boing]

-[popping]
-[chiming]

So, does that mean that
this is a bubble machine?

Something tells me this machine does more
than just make bubbles.

Who wants to try
another lever?

[both] We do!

[Chantale laughing]

How about this one?

-This looks like a good lever.
-[Ariel laughing]

Well, let's give it a pull,
and see what happens.

Your turn, Ariel!

-[creaking]
-[grunting]

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[whirring]

[Flounder] Ooh,
pretty seashells!

[Ariel] They're moving
in a big circle!

What are these
shells for, Tantie?

Hmm, I'm really not sure.

[swishing]

Uh, the shells
are moving faster...

Too fast!

-[Chantale] Hang on, everyone!
-[Ariel and Flounder] Oh, whoa!

[all cheering, laughing]

-[Ariel laughing]
-[Flounder] Whoa!

This is kind of fun!

[giggles] Yeah, but how do we
get off this ride?

Try that lever!

I think I can reach it!
[grunting]

Am I close?

[Ariel] Uh... Kinda.

I bet we can reach it
if we work together!

Everybody hold hands and fins!

[Ariel] Can you reach
the lever now, Flounder?

[Flounder] Almost!

Missed again!

[swishing]

I'll get it next time!

[grunting] Got it!

-[Chantale groans] Phew!
-[Ariel] Phew!

[all laughing]

[exhales] Okay. So that lever
over there makes bubbles,

and this lever right here
makes seashells spin around.

I think I know
what this big machine is for.

What is it?

This machine...

is a...

big bubble,
shell, spinny thing!

[laughs] Why don't we
keep exploring?

I see one more
lever over there!

Maybe that'll help us
figure this all out.

Oh, we've gotta try that one!

[Ariel] Only one more lever
left in this room.

Let's give it a pull,
and see what happens.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[Ariel and Flounder grunting]

[♪ musical chime playing]

[whirring]

-[Flounder] Whoa!
-[Ariel] Whoo!

[laughing]

[all laughing, cheering]

[Flounder] Well, this is new.

[Chantale] Hang on, kids!

[Flounder] Hanging on!
Whoa! [giggles]

[Ariel] Hanging on!
Hi, Flounder!

[chuckling]

-Hi, Tantie!
-[Chantale] Whoo-hoo!

Hi, Flounder, again!

Can anybody reach the lever,
and turn these things off?

Let me try!

Almost!

It's just a little too far!

-[rustles]
-Whoops!

[grunts] Got it!

Wait... I've got an idea!

[grunts] Yes!

[Flounder] You got it, Ariel!

I told you you were good
at pulling levers! [giggles]

Okay, so what we now know is,
one lever makes bubbles,

another one spins
the seashells,

and the last one spun us
around in these big bowls.

But, what does it
all mean, Tantie?

-What's it all for?
-Mmm-hmm.

I'm still not sure, sweet fin.

It's getting late.

This just might be a discovery we're
not gonna figure out today.

[both] Aw!

But I had fun exploring it
with you and Flounder...

all of us working together.

[gasps] All of us
working together!

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[swishing]

Jumping jellyfish, that's it!

Tantie! Flounder!

I think I know what this
big machine is for!

What? What is it?

I'll show you!

[♪ heroic music playing]

This thing
launches the bubbles...

And we have the
spinning seashells...

[thuds]

Then there are these bowls!

[♪ musical chime playing]

That's a cool sound!

Everybody pick a lever,
and we pull all three of them

at the exact same time.

-[Flounder] Yeah!
-[Chantale] Let's go! Whoo-hoo!

Everybody ready?

-Ready!
-Ready!

One, two, three!

[all grunting]

[♪ musical chime playing]

[whirring]

-[clanking]
-[warbling]

[♪ cheerful music playing]

What's happening?
Is it working?

Let's watch... and listen.

It's... it's making music!

This machine
is one big music box!

Wow!

Just listen to that song!

Such beautiful music!

You figured it out, Ariel!

[Ariel] We figured it out
together!

This song is so pretty.

I just wish everyone in Atlantica
could hear me too.

-Me too!
-[creaking]

Huh? Huh?

[clanging]

[♪ cheerful music
continues playing]

[kid] What's that?

[all cheering]

[all gasping, cheering]

[vocalizing]

Is that you playing
that music, Sebastian?

Oh, no, Your Majesty.

But it's got a nice beat,
doesn't it?

[humming]

I have to write
this music down.

[Ariel, Flounder,
Chantale laughing]

-[♪ cheerful music playing]
-[Fernie] Nature is magic.

It's going to be so much fun seeing Lucia
do magic for our friends today.

Those little fins are sure going to love
those magic tricks!

-[chuckling]
-Who doesn't? [giggling]

How about you, Fernie?
Are you excited?

Yeah! I'm extra excited
because Lucia asked me

to be her mergician
assistant today.

What does a mergician
assistant do?

I help Lucia do her magic!

I'll get all
her magical ingredients,

and carry all her magical
stuff, and things like that.

That does sound fun!

Hi, best fins!

[all] Hi Lucia!

I'm ready to be your mergician
assistant today!

Well, about that...

I actually have to
go visit my tias today,

so I'm not gonna be able
to do magic for our friends.

-[Ariel] Oh, no!
-What are we gonna do?

But they were so excited!

I really don't want to make
Jewels, Delroy, and Cal sad.

I know how much they were looking forward
to seeing some fun magic today.

It's okay, Lucia.

-[♪ musical chime]
-Hey, Fernie,

you were already gonna be
my mergician assistant,

what if you did the magic tricks
for everybody?

Me?

But, I'm not as good at magic
as you are, Lucia.

But you learned some magic
from Senorita Ursula before.

I guess that's true.

I just haven't done
any magic in a long time.

Nature is mine thing.
I love plants and animals!

Oh, Fernie, I just know
you can show our friends

some wonderful magic.

-You can do it, Fernie!
-Yeah!

-[♪ heroic music plays]
-Hmm.

Okay, I'll give it
my best try.

[Ariel, Flounder,
Fernie cheering]

You'll need these...

A magic hat,
a cauldron, a wand,

and... your own curandera bag!

Um, m-- mesi.

Oh, and there's one more
thing you'll need.

What's that?

A mergician assistant!

Ooh, ooh, ooh, I'd love to be
Fernie's mergician assistant!

Ooh, ooh, and I'd love to be
the mergician assistant's assistant!

[all laughing]

You're going to do great!

Thanks for helping
me out, best fins!

Come on, Fernie!

Or should I say,
"Fernie the Fin-tastic?"

[all laughing]

Let's paddle!

-Bye!
-Adios!

-[♪ captivating music plays]
-[gurgling]

[all laughing]

[Cal] I'm so excited
to see some magic!

-Me, too! [pops]
-[Cal giggling]

[♪ intense music playing]

-Ariel?
-Yes, Jewels?

Where's Lucia?

She couldn't make it today.

But don't worry, Fernie is going to do
some magic for you instead!

[all cheering]

[clears throat] Welcome, little fins,
to this, um...

magnificent, marvelous, uh...

magical, magic show!

[all cheering]

Oh, yeah.

-I'm Fernie.
-Fernie, the Fin-tastic!

Uh, yes,
Fernie, the Fin-tastic!

-[all cheering]
-[Cal] All right!

-[Fernie] Huh?
-[Flounder exclaims softly]

And this is my mergician
assistant, Ariel, the Awesome!

[little fins cheering]

And this is my mergician's
assistant's assistant,

fin-sational Flounder!

[little fins cheering,
laughing]

So, for my first trick...

-[clears throat] Uh...
-[Flounder sloshing]

[whispers] What's
my first trick?

[Ariel] Hm...

Um, why don't you do
the Bubble-Cabubble spell?

You've seen Lucia do that lots of times,
and it's so much fun.

Yeah, who doesn't love
bubbles or cabubbles?

Okay, I'll try it.

-[♪ amusing music playing]
-[clears throat]

For my first trick, I'm going to do
the Bubble-Cabubble.

[all] Ooh!

-Um, Bubble-Cabubble?
-[twanging]

[ascending,
descending whistle]

Uh...

Maybe say the magic words
a little louder this time?

Yeah! And when Lucia does it,
she flicks her wand.

Like this... Hoo-ah!

-Right. Thanks, friends.
-[♪ trumpet plays heroic music]

-Bubble-Cabubble!
-[twangs]

-Whoops!
-[swishing]

-[all laughing]
-[swishes]

Okay. Let's try this again.

Bubble-Cabubble!

Hmm.

-[sloshing]
-[groaning]

[all gasping]

[Fernie] Too much
Bubble-Cabubble!

Looks like Fernie needs help
from his mergician assistant!

-[Fernie] Whoa!
-[screams]

Looks like Ariel needs help from the
mergician assistant's assistant!

-[Fernie shouting]
-[Ariel] h*, h*, whoo-hoo!

[all laughing]

[Ariel] We have to stop
the bubbles!

[shouting] But, how?

-Let go of the wand!
-[swishes, whistles]

-[all gasping]
-[Ariel, Fernie exclaiming]

-[descending whistle]
-[thuds]

[all cheering]

I've never seen
a spell like that!

[laughs] Phew, what a ride!

That's definitely not how
Lucia's Bubble-Cabubble goes.

It's okay, Fernie.

Maybe try a different spell.

Yeah! There's lots of other
fun magic you can try.

You're right.
Thanks, assistants!

[gurgling]

[clears throat] All right, little fins,
gather around to see

this very special magic
that will clam-aze you!

-Fireworks!
-[all gasping]

[♪ suspenseful music plays]

Big-Bada-Boom!

Uh...

[hums in dismay]

Okay, just a little more
hot spring sauce, I think.

Hold onto your fins!

Here we go.

Big-Bada-Boom!

Uh...

[gasps]

Um, okay, maybe more fizzy?

Big-Bada-Boom!

Meow.

What was that?

Aren't fireworks
supposed to go "boom?"

Not "meow".

Maybe more tres puntas?

Big-Bada-Boom?

What's that?

Slime!

[all gasping]

Huh? [giggles]

[sighs]

Okay, maybe fireworks
weren't the right magic.

I wish I was as good at magic
as I am with nature.

I know so much more
about plants and animals.

It's okay, Fernie.

Lucia believes in you,
and so do I.

And so do I!

Okay, let's try another spell.

What should I pick?

You haven't tried
the magic hat yet.

Great idea.

That's what mergician
assistant's assistants are for.

[giggles]

Get ready for
some cuteness!

Watch in clam-aze-ment

as I pull a sea bunny
out of this hat!

[gasps]

We love sea bunnies!

Soowsh swoosh swunny,
bring me the sea bunny!

Huh?

Huh?

Let me try this again.

[clears throat]

Soowsh swoosh swunny,
bring me the sea bunny!

Oh no, not that!

No.

No, no!

Come on, bunnies,
where are you?

Nothing...

[both gasping]

Hmm...

-Whoa!
-[all gasping]

[Fernie echoing] Whoa!
Where'd everybody go?

Hello?

Fernie! Are you okay?

[Fernie] I'm okay, but I think
I'm stuck in this hat.

Fernie, Fernie!
This is very important.


Do you see any sea bunnies
down there?

[Fernie giggles]

No. No sea bunnies.

Sorry, Flounder.

Keep looking!

Don't worry, Fernie.
We'll get you out of there.

[all] Huh?

Here. You hold on to this.

Fernie, take my hand!

[Fernie] Got it!

-Uh...
-Whoa!

[straining]

I don't think I'm
strong enough.

[grunts]

[chuckles]

We can help.

Yay!

All right, one, two, three.

Pull!

[everyone straining]

-[gasps]
-[Fernie] Whoa!

[cheering]

Yes! We did it!

Ta da!

Thanks, fins.

So no sea bunnies?

No sea bunnies.

I wanted to show you fun magic
like Lucia does, but I can't.

Sorry, little fins.

Hey, Fernie, you okay?

I really wanted to do
a good job for Lucia, but

I'm just not good at magic.

I like nature.

I like to study the plants
and animals of the ocean.

The coral that lights up
with amazing colors.

The cute little sea bunnies
hopping around.

The fish that can sing
and glow and dance.

I think nature is just so,
so...

Magical?

Exactly. It is magical.

That's the kind of
magic I like.

Well, Fernie, I think
you know what to do.

Yeah!

Hey, fins!

This was fin-credible!

I think Lucia would be really happy
with what you did today.

Thanks, Ariel. I couldn't
have done it without you.

You were
a wonderful assistant!

And thanks for being
my assistant Flounder!

Wait, where is Flounder?

[Flounder] In here!

Flounder?
