?

[Announcer].
Fishies and gentle-fins,

?

make some noise for...

Squishella!

[crowd roaring]

Squish? Squish? Squish?

Squish!

Ah!

[Astra].
She's been swept! Grab her!

[laughs] That was amazing!

[laughs] You should
have seen your face. Ha!

What? Too soon?

Oh. I've never seen a
Street Sweeper fish before.

Does that mean we're
close to a city?

[Nautique].
Not just any city, Octokyo.

The place where Squish
and I first met.

Oh! Finally civilization!

I'm gonna hit up the
Slurp N' Surf for some ramen,

then take a billion showers.

Hold your horseshoes.

I'd like to see Octokyo as
much as the next Mermicorno,

but we need to focus on
getting Pearl Girl back.

But don't worry, Search Squad.

As long as we keep
following the Squidions' trail,

we'll be at Ika Inkblot's
lair in no time!

[gasps] The trail, it's gone!

[screaming]

Popstar Princess is performing
in Octokyo tonight?

This is the best thing that's
ever happened in the history of

? ever!

Sorry, what are
we talking about?

[upbeat rock music]

? Mermicornos! Let's unite!

? Creative forces we'll ignite!

? Magic is the key

? In the undersea

? We're gonna set
the world alight ?

Yuss!

? Mermicorno!

? Starfall!

? Mermicorno!

? Starfall!

Popstar Princess

is playing the
Clamshell Bandshell,

the most legendary
concert hall

in Octokyo.

Ooh, she's cool.

Cool? Uh,
she's only the

single greatest
artist of all time.

You know, it's
something I've heard

other fish say.

Like I don't follow,
I don't care.

[blows raspberry].
Obviously. Ha!

Astra, we just
have to go.

Have to, have to,
have to.

I can't think about
a concert right now.

That trail

was our only lead
to Pearl Girl.

Come on, Astra, think.

What would Royal
Mother Pearl do?

[Nautique].
Why don't you ask her?

Now that we're
near a city,

you can call her from
a Jelly-Phone Booth.

Meanwhile, we'll get
the tickets for anyone

who wants to see the show.

Everyone wins.

What do you say, Astra?

Okay. We'll divide and conquer.

[Squishella gasping]

Wait for me!

[Astra groaning]

[upbeat pop music]

This is gonna be amazing!

I hope she sings
"Gill-Friend".

[gasps] And "Swim It Off".

Ooh! And my favourite,

? True to you,
can't be afraid,

? you gotta say what
you're feelin'! ?

[Mermicornos cheering]

I love it!

Wow!

You're just as good
as you say you are!

[nervous laugh] I meant
that nicer than it sounded.

She's the best
singer in the ocean,

which I can say
with authority

as President of the
Squishella Fan Club.

I made a business card.

[sighs] Oh, I'd give anything
to be on that stage.

Spotlight on me,

fish screaming my name.

But for now,

I'll settle for a
front row ticket.

Move, move, move,
move, move, move.

Sold out? [gasps]

NOOOOOOO!

[Snippy].
Hey, kid.

Quite a set of
pipes you got there.

Snippy Starboard.

Glad to meet ya.

[gasps] You're the owner of
the Clamshell Bandshell.

Look, I saw you
couldn't get tickets.

How about a backstage
tour instead?

[Squishella gasping]

Uh, no, thank you.

Our friend is waiting for
us at the Slurp 'N Serve.

I-I-I'm sorry.

You're turning down a tour
of the Clamshell Bandshell

for noodles?

Oh, no, no, no,
of course not.

[nervous laughing]

Just, uh, one second, please.

What are you doing?

This could be really good
for my musical career,

as in I could
actually have one.

I know, but we promised Astra.

[Squishella].
This won't take long.

Come on.

You know this is my dream!

Oh, please?

? Please, please

Singing too beautiful.

Can't resist!

[chuckles] Okay, let's do it.

Ahhhhh!! [chuckles]

Shall we?

Then I learned to
make talismans,

lost the trail,

and now we're
stuck in Octokyo.

My oh my,
you have been busy.

So, Ika Inkblot's the one
who's been draining the stars?

Ooh, I do not like
the sound of him,

or Sawtooth,

or the Squidions!

Uh, bad vibes all around.

My guard shall patrol the
star near the Pearl Palace,

just in case any
Squidions squid on by.

In the meantime,

you and your friends continue
the search for Pearl Girl.

Where are those
friends of yours anyway?

They're lining up for a
Popstar Princess concert.

But I needed to
stay on track.

You know, it's all right
to take some time away

from a problem, Astra.

In fact, I've been
entertaining those Skele-fish

you sent by all day!

We've baked bagels,
mmm, mmm,

done some reps [grunts],

and now it's painting hour.

Just keep working on those happy
little kelp patches [chuckles].

How do you find the time?

Well, a leader always makes
time for someone in need.

Well, right now, that
someone is Pearl Girl.

Hmm. Oh, aha!

According to this book
about Mermicornos,

a talisman might help.

Says here, "Some Mermicornos
could craft talismans

"that connect distant
friends using an object

"that was significant
to their relationship."

Something significant...

[gasps] Like the gift
I made for Pearl Girl!

You're the best, Royal Mother.

Virtual hug!

Ooh, virtual hug
right back, honey.

[in unison] Ooh!

Now, who wants to limbo?

Welcome to the
Clamshell Bandshell's backstage.

Oh! That's Popstar Princess'
dressing room.

And her security guard!

Grr!

[gasps] And her snack table
stocked with her favourite,

Clam-tastic Kelp Bars!

Oh! [giggles]

[Kameko whistling]

Ha-ha, it's like you
belong here, Squishy.

Oh, I can call you Squishy,
can't I?

Actually, she hates that name.

No, except when you say it,
of course.

In fact, now that
I think about it,

it totally suits me.

Hey, is Popstar Princess here?

I'd like to get her autograph,

you know, for my niece,
who-who is also named Gwen.

[nervous chuckling]

Oh, she's not here,

but I can show you the
Clamshell Bandshell stage!

All the best and biggest acts

have stood right
where you're standing,

from Eel Sheeran

to Lana Del Crayfish.

[Squishella gasping]

[laughs] Wow, Squish.

being up there really-

The view is better over here.

[Kameko gasping]

[inhales deeply] KAMEKO!

I'm okay!

[mysterious music]

Hmmm.

What is this?

A Popstar Princess machine?

[ominous music]

Ah!

Careful there, kiddo.

Your friend was poking around
some expensive machinery.

[chuckles] Don't want any sticky
hooves gumming up the works.

Of course not.

I'm so, so sorry about that,
Snippy. [nervous laughs]

Nautique,

don't embarrass me in front of
the important business lobster!

What was that thing anyway?

Oh, just standard
concert equipment.

Does standard concert things.

It's all very standard.

It doesn't seem standard.

And that's the
end of our tour.

[Squishella].
Awwww.

Got a show to get ready for.

You can head on out
the way you came.

Ah, ah, ah, ah. Squishy,

may I speak with
you privately?

[gasping]

That was so fun!

Being in the same place
as Popstar Princess?

Breathing the same
water she breathes?

Yeah, yeah, I guess
it was all right.

It was certainly interesting.

But we should hurry up and meet
with Astra like we promised.

On that note, Snippy wants
to have a meeting with me,

so you three go ahead.

I promise I'll be there soon!

But something feels off to me.
-Uh huh. Totally.

That's hilarious. [chuckles]
Snippy did not seem to like that I found that machine.

So fun! Okay, love you,
gotta go, bye, bye, bye!

It was almost like she
was hiding something.

Okay. See you.

Ah, there she is!

Nice as your
little friends are,

you're the one I really
wanted to talk to.

[gasps] Thank you.

I've always felt I was
the most interesting one

in my friend group.

See, I've been
searching high and low tide

for the perfect opening
act for Popstar Princess,

but no one fit the bill,

until I heard you singing.

Uh, hold up!

Do you mean-

If you're interested,

I'd like you to be Popstar
Princess's official opening act,

starting tonight.

[squealing] Yes!

You'll perform every night
here at the Clamshell.

And you'll need to arrive early
to go through hair and makeup.

And then, of course, your days
will be filled with interviews,

endorsements,
other assorted promot-

Uh, wait.

That doesn't leave much
time for anything else.

Fame's a shark, kid.

Always fast, always forward.

Is that a problem?

No, no, no.

It's just I said I'd help
my friends with something

and I'd feel sort of
bad if I left them.

Oh, Squishy, Squishy, Squishy.

I see this a lot.

Sometimes friends
try to hold you back

because they're
jealous of your talent.

Nautique?

Oh, he'd never do that.

He's my best friend
slash assistant.

If he was really your
best friend, Squishy,

he'd want this for you.

No offence to them,

but they're a band,

and you were
destined to go solo.

Trust me, Squishy.

All you have to do is let
me tweak your image a little,

and I will make you
a star so bright

that sailors will
navigate by you.

Uh...

how can I say no?

Good choice, kiddo.

Now let's get you
ready for your debut.

[Kameko].
Elegant bouquet,

beautiful presentation,

and interesting use of
wakame instead of kombu.

[slurping]

I eat a lot of ramen.

Okay, here's the plan.

This was my adopt-iversary
gift for Pearl Girl.

It's a locket I made.

It represents the
connection we share,

which is why I'm going to
transform it into [drumrolls]...

a connection talisman!

Coooooooool!

How?

That's the part
I'm not sure about.

I've made a list of
things Pearl Girl and I

used to do together:

eating ice cream,

playing checkers,
riding bikes.

Maybe doing things that remind
me of my connection with her

will help me put those
feelings into the locket.

But shouldn't we
wait for Squish?

She'll be here any minute,

I hope.

We can't just sit around.

We've got business to handle.

[in gruff voice]
Talisman business.

Ha-ha. That sounded
cooler in my head.

Commence Operation

Do Stuff That Pearl Girl
And I Used To Do.

First up, eating ice cream!

[gasping]

[upbeat music]

?

?

[camera clicking]

[upbeat music continues]

[magical music]

Pearl Girl?

Pearl Girl, do you hear me?

Are we connected
through this talisman?

[magical music swells]

[deflated chords]

[groaning]

Hate to be a downer,
but I'm gonna be.

This is not working.

Perhaps we should take a little
break to look for Squishella.

But we're so close.

This locket is going
to become a talisman

and we'll hear
Pearl Girl's voice now!

Awww, fish fingers!

? Life is good!

Squish!

Bup-bup-bup-bup-bup-bup,
whoa, ha, watch it.

I just painted these hooves.

Where have you been?

I thought you'd
be here hours ago.

I've been doing something
way more important.

Snippy asked me to open
for Popstar Princess!

Eee! So cool!
-I'm not jealous.

Thank you.

I agree, I deserve it.

Now, since I'll be opening for
Popstar Princess every night,

I'm going to be too busy to
help with your little mission.

But as a token
of my affection,

I got you backstage passes!

Now you can cheer
me on at my debut!

Of course,

I won't be able to hear you
over the crowd [giggles],

but it'll be nice to
know you're there.

What? You can't just leave.

We're a team!

It's nothing personal.

Like Snippy says,

you're a band,

but I was meant to go solo.

Who cares what Snippy thinks?

She's not your friend,
I am!

And I've been
trying to tell you

there's something
weird about her.

But all you care about
is being onstage!

[scoffs] This is the thing

I want most in the
whole entire ocean.

If you were really my friend,
you'd get that.

Then I guess I'm not
really your friend.

[sobs] That's how
it's gonna be?

Fine!

I have to get to my fans
who adore my perfection!

Ow! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.

Maybe she's giving up,
but we never will!

I have one more idea
that just might work!

Please! Please be a talisman!

Oh!

[everyone sighing]

Ah!

[Snippy].
And once we've nailed down a hit single,

we can think
about giving you...

Hello? Squishy?

Focus, focus, focus.

Oh, sorry.

Forget about them, Squishy.

I'm the only one who
sees you for who you are,

a legend in the making.

I need to get
some tech ready.

[Popstar Princess].
La la, la la, la la!

Oh! Popstar Princess?

This is the greatest
moment of my life.

[clears throat] Pardon me,
Ms. Princess?

I'm Squishella.

Oh, it is such an honour
to work with you, ah!

[curious music]

[upbeat pop music]

[upbeat pop music glitching]

Wait a minute.

Popstar Princess is...

a hologram?!

[Penny].
[sighs] I guess you were bound to find out.

Hi, I'm Penny.

What is going on?

Why do you have
Popstar Princess's voice?

Oh, 'cause I am her.

Well, sort of.

When Snippy discovered me,

she said all I had to do

was let her tweak my
image and she'd make me-

"A star so bright, sailors
would navigate by me"?

She's still using
that line, huh?

I wanted to be famous,
so I said yes.

Turns out that was the tweak.

So you sing from back here?

That's absurd!

If I get to go on stage,
you should too.

Oh no, she didn't tell you.

You're not going on stage.

That is.
-What?!

Penny, we gotta record a promo
for Clam-tastic Kelp Bars.

Not again.

Why do I have to pretend I
like Clam-tastic Kelp Bars?

I hate Clam-tastic Kelp bars!

Well, audiences love them

'cause Popstar Princess
loves them.

Aha. I see you've
met the new you.

No, it can't be.

That's not me!

With your voice and
her everything else,

Squishy is gonna be a star!

Now come along.

These Clam-tastic Kelp Bars
won't sell themselves.

No, really, they won't.

Without celebrity endorsements,

they are very, very unpopular.

Stop! I am not
being a jellyfish!

You don't have a choice!

Clamshell Bandshell is mine.

I decide what goes onstage.

And guess what?
It's not shrimp.

And it's definitely not...

Uh, what-what are you anyway?

No, wait, don't tell me,
I don't really care.

Oh, don't look so
down, Squishy.

You're going to be a star.

All you have to do is
stay out of the way.

If you don't,

you'll never perform at the
Clamshell Bandshell again.

[evil laughing]

Never! [evil laughter]

This is the worst!

What's the point of
being a pop sensation

if I don't actually get
to be a pop sensation?

Hey, it's not so bad.

You still get to
perform for millions

and the crowds love you,

at least who they
think is you, ha.

Ugh.

I'd rather be loved for who
I am than for someone I'm not.

Yeah, you're right.

It's terrible.

Ugh! Why am I even
eating these?

They're so gross and sticky!

[Snippy VO].
Sticky hooves gumming up the works.

I have an idea,

but it might mean we'll
never perform here again.

Who cares?

I'm sick of sitting back here.

But, um, isn't this what
you've always wanted?

Turns out I have
something better.

Almost, almost...

There!

[Nautique sighing]

Are you okay?

I always knew Squish
would be a big star.

I just thought I would be
there when it happened.

Then you will be.

Really? [sniffs]

But what about the locket?

Right now,
you're more important.

A leader always makes
time for someone in need.

Get up, everyone!

We're going to the concert
to cheer on Squishella.

Woohoo! Good!

But we've gotta hurry before
all the good merch sells out!

Okay, fine! I'm a fan, okay?

I'm allowed to have layers!

Now, let's move!

[upbeat pop music]
[crowd cheering]

Showtime!

[grunting]

Sticky?

[dramatic chords]

Oh no!

Hello, Octokyo!

I'm Squishella
and this is Penny,

AKA the real Popstar Princess.

[crowd gasping]

We know we're not who
you expected to see,

but we'd rather show
you who we really are.

What are you doing?

You'll never sing in this
town again, Squishy.

That's not my name.

I'm Squishella!

Let's rock.

[upbeat pop music]
[crowd cheering]

? Pleasing everybody,
doing my best to fit in

? Uh huh

? It's complicated

? It can be a whirlpool,

? and sometimes
all I do is spin ?

[Squishella].
Oh yeah.

? Don't wanna fake it

? I was sinking up

How are we gonna get there
before the end of the show?

I have an idea.

? True to who you are,

? your heart starts singin'

? True to you,

? you can't be afraid,

? you gotta say
what you're feelin'!

? True to you,

? just be who you are inside

? Don't worry
about anyone else ?

[Nautique].
Squish!

? Just listen to yourself

? Then it's true
you're true to...

? You

You brats!

All of you are-

Don't you know who I am?

? Then it's true
you're true to you! ?

Yeah!

[crowd cheering]
[twinkly music]

[magical music]

[gasps] Her voice
fixed my locket!

Singing is Squishella's
Creative Force!

[crowd cheering]

So you're the real
Popstar Princess, huh?

I like this look way better!

Now, I've always
wanted to ask this.

Okay, some fish say the lyric
"fin-loose and fancy free"

is an allusion to your
relationship with Danny Dolphin.

Is that true?

Ooh! Did you see?

I have a Creative Force!

It was amazing!

And so were you.

Oh. Thank you so
much for being here,

especially after what I said.

Ugh, I'm so sorry, Nautique.

I was so desperate for
Snippy's approval,

I forgot who mattered most.

Can you ever forgive me?

You kidding?

You're talking to the President
of the Squish Fan Club.

[in unison] Awwww.

Get in here.

[magical music]

[Pearl Girl].
Astra? Is that you?

[Astra].
[gasps] Pearl Girl!

I can hear you?

Are you okay?

You look different.

Astra? Astra, help me!

Where are you?

We're coming for you!

[Dark Pearl cackling]

What's happening to you?

What? You don't
like the new look?

Too bad. I do.

Whatever's wrong, I'll fix it!

Awww. You can't!

When the stars are drained

and the ocean is
draped in shadow,

my transformation
will be complete.

And there won't be anything
you can do to stop me!

Uh...
