The next morning soon came in the dentist's office.

"Morning. It's morning, everyone!" Peach yawned as she woke up first. "Today's the day! The sun is shining, the tank is clean and we are getting out of-" she then gasped at one of the things she just said. "The tank is clean. The tank is clean!"

"What?! How?!" Cherry panicked.

"Boss must've installed it last night while we were sleepin'." Gil said as he found some sort of device inside the tank.

"What're we gonna do?" Nemo frowned.

"What's it say, Peach?" Gil asked the starfish as she found a handbook by their tank.

Peach muffled at first since her mouth was against the glass.

"Peach, we can't understand you while your mouth is covered." Cherry told her.

Peach then plucked her face off as she began to read aloud. "'The AquaScum 2003 is an all-purpose, self-cleaning maintenance free salt water purifier that is guaranteed to even extend the life of your aquarium fish'." she then began.

"STOP IT!" Bloat panicked before he inflated upwards.

"'The AquaScum is programmed to scan your tank environment every five minutes'?" Peach continued.

"Scan?! What does that mean?!" Gurgle panicked.

Suddenly, the device turned on, and a laser scanned them all which made the purple fish nervous.

'Temperature: 82 degrees. PH balance: normal.' The device reported.

"Ooh~..." The fish oohed in amazement.

"Nice..." Peach commented.

"Ooh.. Ah.. Curse you, AquaScum!" Gurgle glared.

"That's it for the escape plan," Bloat cried out. "It's ruined!"

"Then what are we gonna do about-" Nemo was about to ask.

The waiting room door soon opened to bring in a patient.

"DARLA!" The fish panicked.

"Quick, Nemo, hide!" Cherry told the young clown fish.

Gil soon hid Nemo inside of a barrel, but it was just a false alarm.

"My nerves can't take much more of this." Gurgle sighed with the others.

"What're we gonna do when that little brat gets here?" Bloat muttered.

"I'm thinkin', I'm thinkin'." Gil replied.

"Think faster!" Cherry cried out.

"No, wait, Mr. Sherman!" Cody's voice called out, catching the fishes' attention, and where they saw what the dentist was trying to do.

Dr. Sherman was soon taking Nemo out of the tank with a net to put him in a plastic bag for his young niece. Gil soon swam down in the net next to Nemo, the others then joined in, and they swam down together which made Dr. Sherman lose control of the net as it soon fell inside of the tank with the fish.

"Whew." Cody sighed out of relief.

Nemo soon backed up only to get in a plastic bag this time.

"Nemo!" Cherry yelped.

Dr. Sherman soon took Nemo out of the tank in the bag and put him beside the tank. Cody soon secretly made his way to Nemo to help him get back to the ocean.

"Cody, what are you doing?" Dr. Sherman asked as he caught the boy.

"Erm..." Cody blinked as he felt stuck on what to say. "Uh... I..."

"Come on, Cody," Cherry whispered. "Think of something!"

"I thought Nemo could use some air?" Cody smiled nervously.

Cherry face-finned to that.

"Quit foolin' around with Darla's birthday present." Dr. Sherman told him.

"Cody, quick, just run and get Nemo to the ocean!" Cherry told him.

The door soon slammed open as a girl came to have her dental appointment.

"DARLA!" The fish tank fish panicked.

"Now, Cody, now, please!" Cherry begged.

"What about you?" Cody asked.

"Get Nemo out of here!" Cherry told him. "He belongs in the ocean! Take him home!"

"What is going on?!" Dr. Sherman asked as Cody soon ran out of the room with Nemo's bag, passing Darla at the door as she seemed to stare at him.

"Whew." Cherry sighed.

Darla soon came to the fish tank and tapped the glass which sounded like a booming loud noise to the fish.

"Augh! What is that?!" Cherry cried out.

"Too loud! Too loud for me!" Bubbles yelped.

"Twinkle, twinkle little star~" Darla sang as she tapped the glass.

"Find a happy place, find a happy place, find a happy place!" Peach told the others.

"Well, at least it can't get worse!" Cherry yelped as she was suddenly pulled out by plastic bag.

"Whoa! Hey!"

"Chumlunch!" Gil cried out for Cherry.

"Darla, your uncle will see you now~" Barbara called to the crazy little girl.

You could soon hear horror music as Darla turned her head.

"All right, let's see those pearly whites." Dr. Sherman smiled to his niece.

"RAAAH!" Darla attempted to chomp on his finger before smiling back to her uncle. "I'm a piranha. They're in the Amazon."

"And a piranha's a fish, just like your present." Dr. Sherman told her as he got her ready.

This got Darla excited as she was going to get a fish for a present. Cherry panicked as she didn't want to die like this before she remembered how a fish is found dead and decided to act like that.

"Oh, no... Poor little shelia..." Dr. Sherman frowned once he saw Cherry, thinking she had just died.

"She's dead!" Bloat cried out.

"Chumlunch!" Gil added.

"Yay! Fishy, fishy, fishy!" Darla beamed.

"Must've left your present in the car, sweetie." Dr. Sherman smiled nervously as he hid the plastic bag behind his back.

Cherry soon showed the rest of the fish that she wasn't dead, but was playing dead as she winked at them before returning to her acting.

"I'll go and get it." Dr. Sherman continued.

"She's still alive!" Gil gasped.

"She's not dead!" Peach added.

"What's happening?" Bloat asked. "Why is she playing dead?"

"She's gonna get flushed down the toilet!" Gil noticed. "She's gonna get outta here!"

"Yay!" Deb cheered.

"She's gonna get flushed!" Bloat beamed.

"What a smart kid!" Gurgle added.

They soon saw Dr. Sherman heading for the trashcan which caused them to panic.

"Oh, no, not the trash can!" Gil panicked.

"Cherry! No!" Bubbles cried out.

A familiar pelican was soon seen coming with some company in his beak.

"Hey! Hey! I found his dad!" Nigel told the fish tank fish while opening his mouth to show who he had with him.

"Where's Nemo?!" Marlin panicked. "Where is he?!"

"Is he safe, and where's Cherry?!" Atticus added.

"Dentist! Dentist!" The other fish stammered.

"What's a dentist!? What is that!?" Marlin asked before gasping as Dr. Sherman was about to throw Cherry away in the trash. "Nigel, get in there!"

"I can't go in there." Nigel told him.

"Oh, yes, you can!" Marlin replied before yanking on his tongue to make the pelican fly into the dentist's office. "Charge!"

Nigel soon let out a squawk. Darla screamed as the pelican burst in through the window.

"What the-!?" Dr. Sherman gasped. "Darla, sweetie! Look out!"

A little boy in the waiting room looked over to see what was going on, but it looked like Darla was getting dangerously hurt by the dentist which shocked him a bit, and where it got even more crazy as Nigel was flying around. This made more and more patients look concerned.

Due to being out of the ocean, Atticus appeared to be a beta which was a fighting fish as he soon flopped over. "Cherry? Cherry!" he then called out for his best friend before he soon found her in a plastic bag.

Cherry soon looked over as she thought she heard her name. The two looked to each other before yelping at their fish forms as they didn't recognize each other at first, and which was a bad sign as Darla noticed Cherry awake.

"Fishy...?" Darla asked as she grabbed the bag and began to shake it violently. "Fishy! Wake up! WAKE UP! Why are you sleeping?!"

Cherry began to scream as this was very uncomfortable for her. The fish in the fish tank soon rushed to the volcano.

"Hurry!" Peach cried out.

"Bloat!" Gil called.

Bloat soon puffed up to tilt the volcano.

"Ring of Fire!" Gil then called.

Jacques peddled his feet to the volcano and soon launched Gil out of the fish tank and onto Darla's head which caused the little girl to scream.

"What?! All of the animals have gone mad!" Dr. Sherman cried out before he soon got hit by his own mirror and fell flat on the floor.

"FISH IN MY HAIR!" Darla shrieked as she soon dropped the plastic bag with Cherry inside and it popped open.

Atticus soon attempted to flop up with Cherry, panting a bit. "Oh, Cherry, thank goodness..."

"Quick, we have to get down the pipe..." Cherry panted.

"Come with me... I'll get us back to the ocean... Where's Nemo by the way?" Atticus asked.

"C-Cody took him..." Cherry replied. "I guess you guys just missed him."

They soon got down the pipe.

"You trust me, right?" Atticus asked Cherry.

"Yeah! All drains gotta lead to the ocean, right?" Cherry replied.

"That's right." Atticus nodded.

"FISHY!" Darla cried out and the sink soon sprayed water in her face.

Cherry and Atticus yelped as they went down the pipe and were on their way into the ocean, and once they got into ocean water, they turned into merfolk again.

"Yay, I'm a mermaid again!" Cherry cheered until she glanced at herself. "...Wait."

"Much better." Atticus smiled.

"Um... Thank you for saving me." Cherry said to him.

"What are best friends for?" Atticus asked.

"Don't push it." Cherry looked away.

Atticus soon hugged her.

"Wah! You're touching me!" Cherry cried out, though he kept hugging since he was glad she was okay.

"I'm just glad you're okay." Atticus smiled.

"Okay, you can let go now..." Cherry complained. "...Stop ruining my Welcome Home Party."

The others soon swam over as Atticus then let go of her, and where they soon saw Cody reaching the ocean before he untied the plastic bag and poured all the water including Nemo into the ocean. Nemo looked over.

"Go, little buddy, be free!" Cody smiled to the young clownfish.

Nemo smiled back before hearing familiar voices one of which was his father's voice. He began to swim over and looked over to Cherry and Atticus.

"Come on, Nemo, let's get you home." Atticus smiled to the young clownfish.

"Yeah, you've had quite the adventure." Cherry said.

"Cherry? Is that you?" Nemo asked her.

"Yeah, long story, come on." Cherry replied as she and Atticus soon swam with him to go back home to Marlin.

And where they soon saw Marlin rushing over to Nemo. The father and son embraced each other once they were finally reunited.

"Nemo, are you okay?" Marlin asked. "I was so worried about you."

"Dad... I don't hate you." Nemo softly said.

"Hey, Marlin, why don't you tell Nemo something about a sea turtle?" Mo spoke up.

"Hmm... You think so?" Marlin replied.

"I'd go for it." Mo smiled.

"Alright." Marlin smiled back.

"What is it, Dad?" Nemo asked his father.

"Sea turtles? I met one!" Marlin smiled. "And he was 150 years old."

"150?" Nemo asked.

"Mm-hmm." Marlin nodded.

"'Cuz Sandy Plankton said they only live to be 100." Nemo replied.

"Sandy Plankton? Do you think I would cross the entire ocean and not know as much as Sandy Plankton!?" Marlin glanced at him for that.

And where this caused Nemo to laugh slightly as his father started going at it, acting silly at the same time.

"He was 150, not 100!" Marlin continued. "Who is this Sandy Plankton who knows everything?"
