[Kameko panting] [upbeat playful music]

[Kameko]. Beep, beep!

Coming through!

Ah!

[Kameko panting]

Kameko, watch out!

[Kameko gasps]

Ah!

Oops. Sorry.

[Royal Mother Pearl]. Oh, not to worry.

My Royal Advisor, Barb is a wizard with Barnacle glue!

[sighs]

I'll take it from here, Kameko.

Oh, here we go.

[Royal Mother Pearl]. Take your time next time, hmm?

[Astra]. Welcome to the Pearl Palace!

I know the ocean's been scary lately,

but you'll be safe here.

Gwen will be happy to help you with your bags.

[upbeat music]

Let's roll!

[upbeat music continues]

Okay! I think that's the last Sea-tizen who wanted to move in.

Nautique, catch!

Good work, Mermis!

Word of your Protection Talisman must be getting around, Astra.

Like a hundred new Sea-tizens moved in this morning.

Good for them,

bad for the buffet line.

Ooof!

But at least the statue

will protect them from Dark Pearl and her powers!

Too bad it can't protect the luggage.

[playful music]

I just want to get going already!

Now that the Sea-tizens are moved in,

you three can start Operation:

find the Mermicorno Kingdom.

And me and Nautique can start Operation:

Find My Dad And Give Him A Zillion Hugs

And Never Be Separated Again Ever!

You might wanna come up with a shorter code name.

Kameko's right.

It's time for us to get going.

Let's see...

Revealer so we can find the door to the Mermi Kingdom,

trail mix in case we get snacky.

Oh, I made Shell-phones so we can stay in touch!

Royal Mother Pearl has one too,

in case she needs to reach us.

Call anytime.

I guess that means we're really ready to head out.

Goodbye, Kameko and Nautique!

And good luck!

I know you're gonna find your dad.

This is the first time we've been apart

since we met, Nautique!

I'm not gonna cry.

Not gonna cry...

[Squishella sputtering]

[loud sobbing]

Okay, okay, let's keep this moving

to the Mermicorno Kingdom!

Bye! Careful! - We'll miss you!

[squeals] Okay, Nautique, let's go find my dad!

I still can't believe Ika told me he was a turtle!

Hey, where do you think turtle-dads hang out anyway?

That's precisely the question.

And we'll need to do lots of research to find the answer.

Waa! Research?

[gasps] No!

[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!

Nooooooo!

Kameko?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Kameko! Kameko!

What?

Breathe.

[inhale and exhale deeply]

What do you mean

we have to do research?

I was already waiting forever

for the quakes to stop

and now research is gonna take

even more forever!

That's, that's double forever!

I'm sorry, Kameko.

But all we know is that right now,

your dad's in the form of a turtle.

That isn't much to go on.

We need to look up migratory patterns,

turtle habitats,

maybe even shapeshifters.

Otherwise,

we'll just be swimming around aimlessly.

I know it's hard to be patient,

but rushing will only cause problems.

[Trench Keeper]. [clears throat] Hello there!

Is the palace still accepting Sea-tizens?

These wretched quakes have made an absolute

sty of our trench. Ah!

Craig, look!

It's one of those fishy-horses

and the girl-fishy.

[gasps] We don't need stinky research.

We have the Trench Keeper.

He can read the tides to find my dad,

just like he did for Pearl Girl!

Hi, Trenchy! I'll take your bags.

Let's go, let's go!

[clattering]

Oops. Barb?

I need some glue. Haha.

A long time ago, I asked you if you could find my dad,

only I asked you to find a man named Reed.

And it turns out he's also a turtle.

Long story.

Could you help me out?

[laughing]

Can I?

I'd be delighted to use my gifts for you.

You connected me with my bestie.

Now let's see what the tides say.

Tides! I call upon your power to find one who is lost

a turtle by the name of Reed!

Hidden from the ocean,

deep within a lagoon,

your father awaits.

But only by using your Turtle Force

will you unlock the path.

Turtle Force?

You mean powers?

[gasps] Nautique, I have powers!

I love my powers!

What are my powers?

All turtles have a force inside

that guides them where they need to go.

Things of importance will glow,

helping you to find them.

I learned this from that turtle at Checkers Club.

Remember, Brian?

[Hat Hoarder grunts]

[giggles] This is amazing!

How do I turn my Turtle Force on?

Is, is there a button?

Like all good things,

it will take patience to unlock your new gift,

You must learn to quiet your mind.

First, close your eyes.

Imagine putting all distractions in a box.

Then take a deep breath,

think about the Sea-tizen you want to find,

and wait for the image to become completely clear.

Wow!

Thanks so much, Mr. Keeper!

I'm gonna wait so hard

that the Turtle Force turns on right away!

Uh, you may have missed the point!

Okay, imagine putting distractions in a box.

Take a deep breath, and close my eyes.

Then think about my dad,

and wait for the image to become completely clear.

[Royal Mother Pearl]. I whipped up a batch of my ocean-famous cookies.

Who wants one?

Someone play with me!

Eh! Anyone want to hold a baby slug?

They're extra cuddly!

[muted pop music]

[soft whistling]

Who wants one?

I whipped up a batch of my-

Someone play with me. [echoes]

Anyone want to hold a baby slug? [echoes]

? Ooh, ooh, ooh, you can't be afraid ?

Agh! This is impossible!

Why does everything take so much time?!

[loud rumbling] [tense dramatic music]

Akk!

This isn't Octokyo!

I knew we should've taken the SeaSprinter!

I don't know why Sea-tizens use the vent system.

I don't care how fast it gets you around the ocean,

it's dangerous.

Kameko? I brought snacks!

It's easier to concentrate with snacks.

Oh, there you are!

How's the Turtle Force coming along?

I don't need a Turtle Force.

I'll just check every single lagoon until I find my dad!

[Nautique]. Um, I admire the initiative,

but swimming to all those lagoons is gonna take forever.

Not if we take the vents!

Whoa, whoa!

Taking the vent system is not a good idea.

I know they seem faster,

but they stop and start without notice

and spit you out in unpredictable places.

Plus, if I learned anything from my days as a ramen courier,

it's that it's best not to rush these things.

[gasps] You were a ramen courier? When?

After the Starfall,

back when Squish and I lived in Octokyo.

[dreamy rhythmic music]

[Nautique]. We needed a place to stay.

That's when we met the Ramen Chef.

He let us stay with him

in exchange for doing his deliveries.

But delivering ramen took a lot of time,

and I always felt like I was missing out on fun things.

[crowd cheering] [rhythmic music continues]

[snipping] [snail gasping]

[Nautique]. Until one day there was something I couldn't miss.

[gasps] The Clamshell Bandshell

is hosting a one-night-only reading and book signing

with Mae Jellyfish!

Oh, she's my favorite author-slash-scientist.

Her work on centrifugal force is sublime.

That's the force created by something as it spins.

Oh, you don't have to tell me.

I love cinnamon bun force.

The reading starts in an hour.

We have to drop off our delivery hats

and hurry back here to get tickets!

But one more job was waiting,

to 49 Sand Dollar Street on the other end of town.

With the reading in an hour,

what was I to do?

Quit your job and learn not to wait

to do the things you want.

Good lesson. Thanks, Nautique.

Uh, but, but, that, that, that's not what happened at all!

[soft dramatic music]

Woohoo!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

[Kameko]. This is so awesome!

We're gonna get to a lagoon in no time!

Not if we get smushed first!

Ah! Garbage clog!

[in unison] Ahhhhh!

[in unison] Ahhhhhh!

Get away from the garbage!

[Kameko panting]

[magical music]

[both sighing]

Oh, that was close!

[both giggling]

[both laughing]

[both sighing]

Hey, we're not moving.

Does that mean this is our stop?

This isn't our stop. The vents have stopped.

We're stuck!

But we can't be stuck!

I've got lagoons to search!

Nothing we can do while the current's not flowing.

The important thing is, is that we don't-

We gotta get outta here!

[sighs] Panic.

[pants] Is there an opening here?

How about here?

Ah, ah.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

We need to slow down and think of a solution.

Why don't you try activating your Turtle Force

so we can find a way out?

No time to think!

Only to dig! [grunts]

[groans] Why won't you dig better?

[Kameko grunting]

Ah!

[Nautique groaning]

Ah! We're trapped in a stinky garbage tunnel forever!

Kameko! Breathe.

[takes deep breath]

Ahhhh.

[Kameko sputtering]

Rushing around won't help us.

I say we swim until we find the nearest vent opening.

Then we can figure out where we are in the ocean,

and go from there.

Ugh. But that'll take ages.

It'll be okay.

To pass the time,

I'll keep telling you my story.

So I grab the order of ramen and I swam out of the Slurp N' Surf

as fast as I could!

We only have an hour until the reading starts,

so we have to deliver this ramen fast!

Let's take the bus then.

It goes all the way across Octokyo.

[Nautique]. That tired old shell?

It'll take ages!

We'll just have to swim as fast as we can.

[laughs] Yeah, no.

Swimming fast doesn't really match the Squishella brand.

Okay, then we'll take a shortcut.

I'm pretty sure that alleyway

goes straight to Swordfish and 3rd.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Alleyways definitely do not match the Squishella brand.

Come on. It will be fine.

Ugh. The things I do for you.

[upbeat pop music]

[yelling] [clattering]

[both groaning]

So that's where all the ratfish come from.

They were so bite-y!

At least we made it to...

wait.

[panting]

Hey! This isn't Swordfish and 3rd!

Where are we?

I'm not sure.

I've never been to this part of Octokyo before.

But we're closer than we were, uh, p-probably.

Well, I don't think we should keep swimming around

without knowing where we are!

You know my motto.

[in unison] Only move when you have to.

[chuckles] So let's find a Jellyphone booth

and call the Ramen Chef.

He can point us in the right direction.

Do you have any coins on you?

Uh, no, ooh,

but I do have this weird book I woke up with after the Starfall.

We could pawn it in this pawn shop!

[chuckles] Not like I'm ever gonna use this for anything

That'll take too long.

If we can find a landmark,

I can figure out where we are,

like Octokyo Tower or

Alvin Angelfish Dance Centre.

[muted cheering]

[gasps] Or the Clamshell Bandshell!

That cheering must be for Mae Jellyfish!

Hurry, Squish!

Maybe I can catch a glimpse of her on her way into the reading.

[upbeat music]

Nautique, this is Kelp Bar Stadium.

Oops, I forgot there was a basket-bubble game today.

We have to get outta here.

Basket-bubble fans are bonkers!

[cheering] [screaming]

[sputters] Squish and I tried to get out of there,

but those bubble-ball fans had one very strong wave.

[gasps] That's it! A wave!

We could use your Dragon Wave

to get the vents moving again!

Mmm. Mm-mm.

My Dragon Wave could get us moving,

but these vents twist and turn so much,

who knows where we'd end up.

We're better off finding a vent opening.

Now, where was I?

We only have one hour left 'til the reading starts,

so we have to deliver this ramen fast!

[Kameko]. We did this part already!

[Nautique]. Oh. [chuckles] Sorry.

[fast forwarding sounds]

[crowd cheering]

Ah!

[Nautique sputtering]

Oops. Pardon us.

We're actually not a part of this!

[crowd cheering]

[dramatic chords]

Ugh! Who do those sports fans think they are?

I am future celebrity Squishella,

and I will not be jostled!

Excuse me,

do you have the time?

Certainly. - Thank you!

[gasps] Mae Jellyfish is gonna take the stage in 30 minutes,

and we're not even close to finishing our delivery.

Mmm. We have to find a way to go faster.

[gasps] Popstar Princess!

[gasps] Scooters!

What? Oh yeah, I mean, that too.

Squishella, you're brilliant!

We'll be able to zoom across town!

Really the credit belongs to Popstar Princess.

Mm, but I'll take the credit too.

[upbeat music] [scooter revving]

[scooter sputtering]

[chuckles] Now this is traveling in style.

Yeah!

We'll be there in no time,

as long as I can, oh, keep my balance!

[in unison] Ah!

[in unison] Ah!

[in unison] Whoa!

[in unison] Whoa!

[regal music]

[in unison] Whoa!

[in unison] Grrrrrr!

[Squishella]. [gasps] Look out!

[in unison] Ahhhhhh!

[both sputtering]

A whirlpool?

For the record,

I prefer not to be shaken or stirred!

Don't worry!

Thanks to Mae Jellyfish,

I know all about centrifugal force!

No, no, no, don't mention cinnamon buns.

I'm getting queasy.

We just have to wait for the whirlpool's current to change,

and then we swim for it!

[Nautique sputtering]

Now!

Ah!

[nervous laughing] Swim for our lives?

Yes, please.

The fish were furious with us,

but we found a way to evade them.

[angry yelling]

Ugh. You mark my words, Nautique.

That's the closest I will ever get to the Octokyo sewers.

Sand Dollar Street.

We're almost there!

We can still do this!

45, 47. 49!

This is it!

We made it!

And with just enough time to make it to the reading.

Uh, is that a hole in the bag?

Our ramen delivery!

It's ramen-less!

That pufferfish we bumped into must have punctured the bag!

Isn't that-

The bus we didn't take? Yeah.

[groans] So we would've arrived at the exact same time

and the ramen would be safe and sound?

Oh!

I explained what happened to the Ramen Chef.

He was nice about it,

but I had to deliver a replacement ramen,

and I missed Mae Jellyfish's reading.

If I'd been patient, maybe I would've made it.

Okay, I get it. Be patient.

[sighs] Maybe I should try activating

my Turtle Force again.

Imagine putting distractions in a box.

Take a deep breath and close my eyes.

Then think about my dad

and wait for the image to become completely clear.

[breathes deeply]

I saw something!

You did? - Definitely!

Well, probably.

Now we can use your Dragon Wave to get out of here!

My Turtle Force will guide us the right way.

Are you sure you waited long enough?

Yes! Let's go!

Okay.

If you're really sure,

then let's get this current moving!

[upbeat magical music]

Okay, Kameko,

what does your Turtle Force say?

Put the distractions in a box.

Take a deep breath...

[inhales deeply]

[magical music]

Huh? Where'd the glow go?

Turtle Force on! Activate!

There's a fork!

Grab my hoof!

[suspenseful music]

Wait! Come back! Nautique! - Ahhhhh!

Nautique!

Hey, current! Let me go!

[sighs] Finally.

But Nautique!

[pants] Where are you?

[Kameko panting]

[Kameko sighing]

Oh, Nautique was right.

I rushed it,

and now we're both lost.

How am I ever gonna find him?

[sighs] My Turtle Force will guide me.

Take distractions and put them in a box.

Take a deep breath and close my eyes.

Then think about Nautique,

and wait for the image to become completely clear.

I'm gonna find you, Nautique.

[breathes deeply]

Ah.

Blah! Gross!

Come on, Turtle Force, you can do it!

[breathes deeply]

[soft mystical music]

?

Ooh, I think I feel something.

Be patient, Kameko.

Don't lose it.

[playful music]

[ethereal music]

?

[gasps] Whoa!

So this is Turtle Force!

Oh yeah, uh-huh, I did it.

I found my Turtle Force,

'cause I was patient and waited.

[Kameko laughing]

Ah! Right.

[sighs] Now, let's see if I can use this

to find someone important to me.

Nautique, where are you?

[Nautique distantly yelling]

Hmm.

[Nautique]. Kameko!

There you are!

I'm coming!

Hang on! I'm on my way!

[upbeat music]

Water!

Why are you going so fast?

[gasps] Probably 'cause of the massive whirlpool.

Whoa!

[in unison] Ah!

[gasps] Nautique! You're in a whirlpool!

I know! How did you find me?

Turtle Force!

Hold out your hooves!

I'm not losing you again!

Gotcha!

[in unison] Ah!

[gasps] I'm so proud of you,

and, separately, terrified!

We've gotta get out of here.

We have to-

Do what Mae Jellyfish said.

We wait for the whirlpool to change directions,

then we swim for it!

Exactly. Wait for it.

Wait for it.

Wait for it.

[in unison] Now!

[magical music]

[in unison] Ahhhh! Ahhhhhh!

[in unison] Ahhhhhhhh!

[in unison] Ahhhhhh!

[Royal Mother Pearl]. Cookie? Anyone for a cookie?

[Sea-tizen gasping]

Cookie?

[in unison] Ahhhhh!

[clattering]

We did it! [chuckles] - Woohoo! [giggles]

I'm so sorry, Nautique.

I shouldn't have rushed us.

No, I'm sorry.

Look, we're all the way back at the Pearl Palace.

We went all that way for nothing.

That's okay.

We might have gone in a circle,

but it wasn't wasted time.

I finally have my own powers!

[breathes deeply]

[mystical music]

Dad, where are you? [gasps]

I know where to find my dad.

Well, let's get going!

Which way?

Nuh-uh! Nautique, breathe.

We don't have to rush.

This might take some time,

but I'm cool with that.

Plus, we've got plenty of snacks for the road.

Thanks, Royal Fancy Lady Ma'am!

We're off to find my dad!

Slowly.

[upbeat music continues]

Ta-ta! Good luck!

[loud chomping]

Slow doesn't apply to cookies.

[both laughing]
