No one's better at capture the conch than me.

Watch this.

- No, i do.

I got ya, fluke.

You sure about that, oona? Ha! Capture the conch.

I win again.

- Nice move.

- You're so fast, fluke.

Lookin' good, fluke.

I don't know how you do it.

It just comes naturally.

Hey, you guys, why'd the octopus cross the reef? To get to the other tide.

( all laughing ) Oh, fluke, you cr*ck me up.

Who wants to watch me juggle sea urchins? - I do.

- Me, too.

- It's the floating palace.

- The floating what? Princess sofia's ship.

She's back! Sofia's back? Wait for me, oona.

It sure feels good to be back at merroway cove.

It's too bad mr.

Cedric didn't want to come this time.

He said he couldn't think of a more monstrous vacation, Whatever that means.

Oh, this is so relaxing.

Last one in is a rotten fish egg.

James, you got my bathing suit all wet.

Isn't that what it's for? That is the last thing it's for.

Your beverage and sun spectacles, princess amber.

Wonderful, baileywick.

Thank you.

It's so nice of the mermaids to let us visit - Whenever we want.

- It sure is.

Perhaps we should do something to show our appreciation.

Like sending a thank-you note.

- Or throwing them a party tonight.

- Great idea, mom.

Ooh, i'll wear my finest beach gown.

There's just one problem, your majesties.

How do we invite the mer-people? Good point.

None of us can really dive all the way down there - To tell them.

- I can.

I mean, uh, I can go try to find my mermaid friend oona.

She comes up to the surface a lot.

She can tell everyone.

Or we can tie an invitation to our anchor And drop it over their castle.

Let's try sofia's plan.

Great.

I'll go look for her at the beach.

Tell oona the party will start at sunset.

Okay, mom.

Oona! Sofia! I'm so glad you're back.

- Me, too.

- Me, three.

Guess what, guys.

My family's throwing a party at sunset - For all the mermaids.

- Fun.

Oh, i can't wait to tell everyone.

Can you guys spread the word about the party? Yeah, sure.

Ah-ah-ah-ah.

Let me handle this.

The sea pony express is at your service, my lady.

All right, sea-ponies.

Tell queen emmaline and all the mer-folks in merroway cove, Sofia's family is throwing a party at sunset By the floating palace, and everyone's invited! Go! Well, that takes care of that.

Let's go find my friends, sofia.

They didn't get to meet you last time.

- Okay.

- This way.

Whoa.

Wait for me.

Hey, everyone.

Look who's here.

Princess sofia.

- Good to meet you.

- You, too.

We've heard so much about you, sofia.

What's it like being able to turn into a mermaid? Can you switch back and forth any time you want? What's it like having legs? What's it like living on land? It's much dryer up there.

Excuse me.

Is anyone going to introduce me? Oh, sorry.

This is fluke.

And you are? Sofia.

Nice to meet you.

It always is.

Now, if you don't mind, I have some sea urchins to juggle.

Oh, i forgot to tell you all the best part.

Sofia's family's throwing a beach party tonight, And we're all invited.

No way! I'm so excited.

Ooh, what's your family like, sofia? Are they all human? What else would they be? I don't get it, slim.

What makes her so special? Probably being human, if i had to guess.

Well, i don't see what's so special about that.

It's not special at all, fluke.

How dare they pay attention to her and not you? Oh, it really blows my bubbles.

That's really super of your parents To throw a party for us.

Maybe we should do something for them in return.

We could give them a gift.

Or we could play a song for them.

- We have a band.

- You do? That sounds like a terrific gift.

Hey, let's play one of our songs for sofia.

- Do you wanna hear one? - Sure.

We'll get the instruments.

A song? What kind of gift is that? I could do much better.

So much better.

So what are you gonna get? Oh, um I know.

I'll get the pearl out of that giant clam.

Now that's a gift fit for a king and queen.

You'll be the star fish of the party.

Okay, guys, a-one, a-two, A-one, two, three, four.

( playing lively tune ) when it's your turn to do your thing you gotta be a smash dive right in with both your fins and make a big splash the spotlight's shining on you but there's nothing to be afraid of just swim right up and show 'em what you're made of it's your moment to shine and you're gonna ace it your moment to shine you better embrace it i know you're gonna be just fine this is your moment to shine So, fluke, how are you planning to get the pearl Without that giant clam chomping you? Come on.

With my blazing speed, That clam has no chance.

Ow! My tail! your moment to shine so you better embrace it Guys, fluke needs help.

What's wrong? - Fluke! - I can't get out.

You guys, help me open the clam.

It's no use.

It won't budge.

Hm.

Oh! Let me try this.

Oh! Great thinking, sofia.

You saved him.

Look at that, slim.

She could do anything and they'd love her.

Are you okay, fluke? I didn't really need your help, you know.

Oh, well, it seemed like you did.

Oh, my horn! Oh, i'm sorry, flip.

It was the only way to pry that clam open.

I know.

It's okay.

What were you thinking, fluke, Swimming so close to that giant clam? I was trying to get a better gift For sofia's family than some silly song.

Well, with no mantacorn horn, Our band can't play for them now.

Yeah, the horn really defines their sound.

What's a mantacorn? You've never seen a mantacorn? Oh, it's a big, scary manta ray With a really sharp horn sticking out of its forehead.

Mantacorns shed their horns every year and grow new ones, But they keep the old ones in a special cave like treasure.

We were lucky to have this one.

I know where we can get another one.

- In the mantacorn's cave.

- No! We can't go in there, fluke.

I've heard whoever swims into that cave Doesn't swim out.

That mantacorn's old and sleeps all the time.

I'll swim in and grab one of his old horns Before he even wakes up.

That doesn't sound like a good idea.

Not if you're slow, But if you're quick like me, It's no problem.

Back in a flash.

I'm worried about fluke.

He could really get hurt.

Then we can't let him do it.

You're right, sofia.

We should stop him.

I agree 100%.

You should stop him.

Come on, sven.

We'll be back.

Where's fluke? He already went inside.

We should go in after him.

But we might wake up the mantacorn.

I concur.

The best course of action Is to stay right here where it's perfectly safe.

Look out! We're trapped.

What are we gonna do? What are we gonna do? Sofia: Let's get out of sight.

- I'm done for.

- Sven, get it together.

- It'll be okay.

- No, it won't.

Sea horses are a mantacorn's favorite food.

He's right.

They can eat like a whole herd In one sitting.

I'm like a floating pink soufflé.

Maybe there's another way out of here.

I'll take a look.

Fluke.

Over here.

What are you doing here? I said i'd get the horn.

We came to stop you before you get hurt.

I'm fine.

Just get outta here.

We can't, fluke.

The entrance is blocked.

Look.

( snoring ) Don't worry about it.

I'll figure out To get us out after i find the stash of old horns.

There's no time for that.

Sh! You'll wake the mantacorn.

Look.

I think we can sneak past him now.

Not until i find a mantacorn horn.

Whoa, look.

There's one.

- I'm gonna get it.

- No way.

You'll wake him up for sure.

Let's just go.

Oona's right.

Everyone follow me.

Follow you? I'm the leader of this pack.

Fluke! - Fluke! - ( screams ) What's this? Horn thieves.

This way.

Get back here.

Sven: Swim for your lives! Argh! I'll skewer ya.

You don't really wanna eat me.

I'm bony, kinda fishy.

Way past my "eat by" date.

I don't wanna be a sven-kabob! Argh.

Where'd ya go? Fluke, why did you try to take that horn? We could've gotten away.

Ah, don't sweat it, princess.

I've got it all under control.

Here's the plan.

I'll swim out there And get the mantacorn to chase me.

Then you can all sneak out while he's busy with me.

- Oona: That's way too risky.

- ( gasps ) Risk is my middle name.

- I thought it was clarence.

- Sh! Nobody pilfers me precious horns.

I don't want you to get hurt, fluke.

We need to stick together so we can all get out of here.

Okay, fine.

There's gotta be a back tunnel that leads out of the caves.

We just have to find it.

Follow me, everyone.

No way, fluke.

We would've already gotten out If you hadn't tried to get that mantacorn horn.

I'm not following you anywhere.

I guess you'd rather follow the princess.

Well, go on, sofia.

Be everyone's hero, Just like before.

When i find the cave robbers Is that why you tried to take the horn, Because everyone started paying attention to me instead of you? Well, i, uh Fluke.

All right, yes.

I mean, everyone looked up to me Until you showed up.

I thought if i got the horn, i'd be the hero.

Fluke, it doesn't matter who leads the way, As long as we all make it out all right.

I guess you're right.

Good, because i think we should find that back tunnel.

Lead the way, sofia.

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

Come on.

This way.

There you are.

You sneak thieves.

Oona: Hurry, sofia! Come on.

Sofia: I'm trying.

Sven: He's gaining on us.

I'm too young to be lunch.

- Fluke: Keep going! - There's nowhere to swim.

- Oona: Hurry, sofia.

- I can't go any faster.

Come on! Come on! In here, sofia.

( gasps ) there's the way out.

Wait.

We should go this way.

There's too much seaweed.

I know.

I have a plan.

You're not just doing this to show off, are you? No.

It's the only way we'll get away.

You've gotta trust me.

Don't be takin' me horns.

I'll skewer ya! I don't care where we go as long as we go now! Okay, i say we go fluke's way.

- Follow me, guys.

- Okay.

- Whoa! - Why are you stopping? There they are.

The entire stash of mantacorn horns.

Fluke.

( growling ) We have to go.

Get back here.

Fluke: Come on.

He's too fast.

Everyone grab onto me.

Hold on.

I told you, fluke, there's too much seaweed.

Just swim through it.

Through here.

There you are.

We were worried.

Blasted seaweed! Ya fish-tailed hornswogglers.

Mantacorn! Don't worry, flip.

He can't get us.

He's stuck in the seaweed.

That was your plan? Yep.

So we're safe? We're safe.

Thanks, fluke.

You're our hero.

- I am? - You are.

You saved all of us.

Good thinking, fluke, getting him stuck in that seaweed.

Argh.

You little mer-monsters.

What did i ever do to you? You tried to skewer us.

I was just mindin' my own business, Takin' a nap.

And you tried to steal me horn.

Now look at me.

We can't just leave him like that.

Sure, we can.

Probably better that way.

I'm going to help him.

Me, too.

I'm comin'.

I'm just gonna hang back here, or flee.

Sofia: This is really tangled.

There you go, sir.

( stretches ) That's much better.

We're really sorry about all this, mr.

Mantacorn.

We just needed a new horn for my friends' band.

Well, you coulda just asked me.

I'm happy to lend you a horn.

I love music.

- You do? - Of course.

Now, what kind of horn do you need? I've got a bunch of tenors, a few altos.

Can you play me a tune? I really love surf music and new wave, too.

Although i am partial to old wave.

Sven: Ah, here he comes again! Don't eat me! It's okay, little guy.

Mantacorns don't eat sea horses.

That's just an old mer-wives' tale.

Really? What do they eat? Puffer fish.

Where is everyone? Oh, please don't tell me I got all dressed up for nothing.

Maybe sofia couldn't find oona, And the mer-people don't know about the party.

Look on the bright side.

More food for us.

Let's give them a little more time, shall we? Huh.

Something's happening.

Miranda: Here they come! Welcome, everyone.

But where is sofia? Mom, dad.

I guess you found oona.

Uh-huh, and we have a special surprise for everyone.

- What's that? - A little performance, Just for us.

Okay, g*ng.
