Meanwhile with Cherry...

"Dad?" Nemo panted as he was placed in a fish tank. "Daddy?!"

"Nemo, are you alright?" Cherry asked.

"Who are you?" Nemo asked.

"It's me, Cherry," Cherry replied. "I'm a goldfish now... Don't ask, but it's gonna be okay, I'm sure we'll get out of here soon."

"Where's Dad and the others?" Nemo whimpered.

"They're back in the ocean," Cherry said. "With a new friend."

"What?" Nemo asked as he felt lost. "But where are we?"

The yellow fish soon zipped over to his toy chest and glared at Cherry and Nemo.

"He likes bubbles." The starfish told Nemo as he felt uneasy about this whole new world.

"Don't worry, Nemo, none of the fish here are going to hurt us." Cherry assured.

"Hello there, little fellas," The scuba diver, revealing to be in his dentist scrubs smiled to Nemo and Cherry before looking to a familiar blonde boy. "Beauty, aren't they? I found that guy struggling for life out on the reef and I saved him."

"They seem to be, Dr. Sherman." The boy replied.

Soon enough, female chipmunks came to also see and Cherry recognized them instantly! It was Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor.

"Girls!" Cherry called out.

"That one looks like its talking to us." Brittany pointed to the goldfish.

"Oh, Britt, don't tap the glass," Eleanor told her sister. "T-They don't like that."

"Girls, it's me, Cherry!" Cherry called out.

Eleanor seemed to stare right at the goldfish. "Cherry..." she then repeated almost like she could understand.

"What's with that fish?" Brittany asked.

"I dunno, I don't speak Fish." Jeanette shrugged.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T SPEAK FISH?!" Cherry flipped out at the Chipettes. "Learn! LEEEEARRRN!"

"Cherry?" The blonde boy asked her.

Cherry took a look at the blonde boy. "Wait, Cody, is that you?"

"Yeah," Cody smiled. "My Aunt Olivia is shadowing a dentist for a possible job for her college."

"Well, can you help me and Nemo get out of here?" Cherry asked.

"Um, we'd love to, but we're busy right now." Cody replied.

Cherry sighed as she hit her head against the tank which made a clink noise.

"I miss my dad," Nemo frowned. "Where is he?"

"Honey, your dad's probably back at the pet store." The starfish soothed almost maternally.

"I'm afraid Nemo isn't from a pet store." Cherry said.

"What's a pet store?" Nemo asked.

"If he's not from a pet store, then where did he come from?" The purple fish asked.

"The ocean." Cherry said.

"Ah, the ocean," the purple fish said before his eyes widened. "The ocean! Aaah! He hasn't been decontaminated yet! Jacques!" he then called out.

"Oui." The shrimp replied.

"Clean him!" The purple fish urged.

"Oui." The shrimp nodded as he then went to Nemo to 'clean' him.

"Ocean." The purple fish told the shrimp.

The shrimp soon spun Nemo around until he soon stopped. "Viola, he is clean!"

Cherry rolled her eyes to that, but at least it would settle down the purple fish.

"Wow, the big blue," The yellow fish said to Nemo. "What's it like?"

"Really?" Cherry asked, unimpressed.

"Um, big and blue?" Nemo replied.

"I knew it." The yellow fish pouted.

"Guys, if there's anything you need, just ask your Auntie Deb, that's me, or if I'm not around, you can always talk to my sister, Flo," The blue, black, and white fish smiled before looking to her reflection. "Hi, how are you?" she then looked back, seeming slightly crazier than Pinkie Pie which disturbed Cherry gratefully. "Don't listen to anything my sister says, she's nuts!"

"Uh-huh." Cherry said as she backed away from Deb.

The starfish muffled.

"Can't hear ya, Peach." The blow fish said to her.

The starfish then popped her face out to sound clearer. "I said we got a live one!"

"A live one?" Cherry asked.

There appeared to be a root canal going on from the dentist. Cherry winced and cringed as she hated visiting the dentist more than anything before she turned away while the others in the tank looked interested.

"I think you should cut down on the candy." Eleanor waved her finger to the patient.

"I'll try that." The patient said.

Cherry winced and grimaced each time she heard the scraping noises as she deeply hated going to the dentist.

"Oooh, he's using a Hedstrom file." The blow fish noticed.

"That's not a Hedstrom file," The purple fish retorted. "That's a K-Flex."

"What's the difference?" Cherry asked.

"I'll never know, honey." Peach sighed as the blow fish and the purple fish soon had an argument.

The blow fish soon got bloated.

"I'll go deflate him." Deb rolled her eyes before swimming after the blow fish.

"All right," Olivia told the patient. "Now go ahead and rinse."

The patient then came over the sink and spit the water into it after his root canal.

"Yuck." Cherry cringed.

"Oh, the human mouth is a disgusting place." The purple fish agreed.

Cherry glared in slight offense to that, but she didn't say anything since she was a goldfish now.

Suddenly, a figure crashed into the nearby window and it was a pelican.

"A pelican!" Cherry yelped.

"Hey, Nigel." Peach greeted.

"What did I miss?" The pelican looked around. "Am I late?"

"Root canal and it's a doozy." Peach told him.

"Root canal, huh?" Nigel asked. "Which one did he use?"

"Gator-Glidden drill." Peach told him.

"He seems to be favoring that one," Nigel replied. "Hope he doesn't get surplus sealer at the portal terminus-" He then noticed Cherry and Nemo. "Hello, who're they?"

"Uh, hi." Cherry said.

"New guys." Deb giggled.

"The dentist took them off the reef." The purple fish named Gurgle added.

"More like he kidnapped or fishnapped Nemo and, uh, me from the reef!" Cherry told them.

"Outies," Nigel replied. "From my neck of the woods, eh? Sorry if I ever took a snap at you. Fish gotta swim, birds gotta eat."

"Hey! No, no, no, no!" The dentist glared at the pelican for breaking into his office as he began to throw him out. "They not your fish; they're my fish. Come on, go! Go on, shoo!"

"They were just talking, sir." Cody pouted.

Unfortunately, the dentist still shooed the pelican out of the building.

"Oh, the picture broke." The dentist frowned as he took out a framed picture from the window.

"Who's that, Dr. Sherman?" Olivia asked as she got the next patient settled in.

"This here's Darla, she's my niece," The dentist smiled. "She's going to be eight this week."

"Uh, why is her fish dead?" Cody gulped as he saw a dead pet fish in a plastic bag in the hands on a red-haired girl with braces.

"Aw, she's a good girl, but she shook her last birthday present a little too hard." Dr. Sherman smiled innocently like Darla was just playing.

"She thought the fish was sleeping when he was actually awake!" Olivia reminded the dentist.

"Poor mate." Cody frowned about the fish in the picture.

"Hey, little fella, say hello to your new mummy," Dr. Sherman smiled to Nemo as he showed Darla's picture to him. "She'll be here Friday to pick you up. You're her present," he then shushed playfully. "It's our little secret." He soon put the picture in front of the fish tank.

"Gah!" Cherry flinched at the little girl's picture. "And I thought I had a horrible smile."

"Oh, Darla.." the blow fish named Bloat sighed.

"What?" Nemo asked. "What's wrong with her?"

"She wouldn't stop shaking the bag." Gurgle shuddered.

"She's a fish killer!" Peach added.

"I can't go with that girl!" Nemo tried to swim away. "I have to get back to my dad!"

"Nemo, calm down, you won't go with her," Cherry assured him. "AND LOOK OUT!" she then yelped.

Nemo was then sucked in through by a tube that sucked minerals out of the water. "Cherry! Help me!" he then cried out.

"Don't worry, Nemo, I'm coming!" Cherry told him as she swam up to help him out.

The other tank fish panicked for poor Nemo.

"Nobody touch him!" A sharp male voice called out.

"Who said that?" Cherry asked. She then looked to a skull figure before a new fish came out who looked very grim and serious, even moreso than Forte which gave her chills around her new gills. "Who are you?"

"Name's Gil." The fish replied.

"That fits." Cherry smirked.

He soon swam to Nemo.

"Can you help me?" Nemo whimpered.

"No," Gil replied. "You got yourself in there, you can get yourself out."

"What?!" Cherry gasped.

"Gil..." Deb spoke up.'

"I just wanna see him do it, okay?" Gil glared before looking to Nemo. "Calm down. Alternate wiggling your fins and your tail."

"I can't," Nemo frowned. "I have a bad fin."

"Never stopped me." Gil replied before swimming off to show he had scars on one side of his body.

Nemo was shocked to see that.

"Just think about what you need to do." Gil mentored Nemo.

Nemo soon began to do just that. Cherry was nervous for Nemo, but the others encouraged the young clown fish to do it on his own from Gil's advice. Nemo finally pushed himself free from the tube much to the relief of the group.

"Perfect." Gil nodded once.

"Whew." Cherry sighed out of relief.

"Yay!" The yellow fish named Bubbles cheered.

"You did it!" Gurgle added.

"Nice squirming!" Deb laughed.

Cherry was happy and relieved that Nemo got out of the tube.

"Wow, from the ocean," Peach smiled. "Just like you, Gil."

"Yeah." Gil nodded.

"I've seen that look before," Peach chuckled. "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking… Tonight, we give them a proper reception." Gil replied.

"So, you two got a name or what?" Bloat asked Nemo and Cherry.

"Nemo," The young clown fish smiled. "I'm Nemo."

"And I'm Cherry." Cherry added.
