Meanwhile, with the kids, Melody was having a whole lot of fun being a mermaid.
"What a totally cool feeling!" Melody beamed.
"I am swimming!" Felicity added. "I am swimming!"
The Fudo siblings smiled at their cousins. Melody giggled as she floated on her back before bumping her head into something, or rather, someone. A big seal turned around to see her before a few pups came out.
"Oh, excuse me... Sorry, ma'am..." Melody smiled sheepishly. She soon swam from the mother seal as her babies were looking at the mer-kids.
"Okay, get a grip, get a hang of this flipper, It's like slipping two feet into one big huge slipper, This way is left which way is right, Oh, now I'll be circling in in circles all night~" She sang to herself while the seal family seemed to watch her.
The seal puppies watched her and one of them got dizzy.
"Oh, so this is forward, no problem." Melody then said to herself. She soon went underwater as she saw Felicity using her tail fin like feet on the ocean floor.
"I can't believe I can do this and more, to swim in the sea like I walk on the shore~" Felicity sang with a smile.
"Out of our shell, not closed up like a clam~" Melody and Felicity sang as a clam closed. "Look, sea this, we here are~"
Narwhals were swimming through the rushing waters a lot like dolphins normally would until the girls joined them.
"For a moment all of me, Is alive and at home in the sea~" Felicity sang.
"I'm swirling and twirling, so graceful and grand, Not stubbing my toes getting stuck in the sand~" Melody added.
"For a moment, life is cool, we're a splash in the world's biggest pool, this is more than our thoughts ever thought it could be~" Melody and Felicity sang as they giggled. "For a moment, just a moment lucky we~"
"If only for one moment, I have shared with you all I know~," Ariel sang as she seemed to be in her old grotto. "The sea wouldn't be a mystery, Oh, why did you have to go?~"
Cherry and Mo looked around as they hadn't seen it before unlike Atticus since he was Ariel's cousin. After they left the grotto, they continued their search.
"Everything's newer, and brighter and bluer, And truer to life than before, Watch me soar~" Felicity sang and Akito, Estelle, and Vincent looked very happy for her.
"For a moment I can shine, Got a grin and a fin, it works fine~," Melody sang while swimming beside a whale. "My fingers are wrinkly, I really don't care, If all my curls are curled out of my hair~" She soon swam up to the top of the whale. "For a moment I can feel, All the dreams I've been dreaming are real~," She continued to sing as she held onto her locket. "Wish my mother could hear it, the sea is my song, For a moment, just a moment, I belong~"
"I will find you my darling, And the moment that I do, I'll hold you close, my Melody, And sing the song of the sea with you~" Ariel sang as they swam around to look for Melody and the others.
"For a moment, just a moment, I belong~" Melody sang as she was still on top of the whale.
Felicity soon did a flip after jumping into the ocean. Akito, Estelle, and Vincent then held out random score cards. The kids soon swam back to Morgana. Felicity and Melody came to Morgana and hugged her, much to her surprise.
"Oh, thank you!" Melody beamed. "Thank you so much!"
"Merci beaucop!" Felicity added. "This is the funnest time I have ever had!"
Morgana smiled before looking emotionally devastated.
"What's wrong?" Estelle frowned.
"Oh, I knew this would happen," Morgana pouted. "One taste, and you're hooked."
Undertow wiped his eyes with a tissue and handed it to her.
"Oh, Undertow, I'm such a failure, such a..." Morgana pouted and then wiped her eyes and blew her nose. "Oh, my precious, there wasn't enough potion for this to be a forever spell."
"Please, I don't want to go back to being an ordinary girl," Melody pouted to Morgana. "Isn't there some way I can stay a mermaid?"
"Me too, me too?" Felicity added.
"Oh, I'm afraid there's absolutely no possible way," Morgana replied before thinking about it for a little bit. "Well, there is one way. No. What am I thinking? It's far too dangerous."
"What is it?" Estelle asked. "What's too dangerous?"
"Well, I could make the spell last longer if I had my magic trident," Morgana replied before making a random shape. "Oh, but it was stolen years ago by a deranged kleptomaniac, and there's no one to get it back for me."
"What if we did?" Vincent asked.
"You would do that for me?" Morgana smiled.
"If we did, would you make me a mermaid?" Melody replied. "Forever?"
"Maybe longer if you'd like," Morgana chuckled before taking out a map of Atlantica. "Now, here is where the scoundrel lives!"
"Atlantica?" The kids smiled.
"You mean, it's not just an old fish tale?" Melody asked. "It really exists?!"
"Of course it exists, dear, who ever told you otherwise?" Morgana coaxed.
"My... Mother..." Melody frowned.
"Well, I'm sure she didn't mean to be cruel and deceitful." Morgana soothed.
Akito, Estelle, Vincent, and Felicity didn't think their Aunt Ariel was being cruel or deceitful.
"Okay, we'll bring back your trident," Melody promised before swimming off with the tablet. "You can count on us!"
"Let's go!" Felicity smiled.
Akito glanced to Morgana before going with the others.
"Now if we follow the map, we should be there in no time." Estelle smiled at Melody.
"You're right." Melody smiled back.
They were soon on the back of the whale while looking over the map Morgana gave them.
"Hmm, let's see..." Melody said as she examined the map. "South to Two Circles Pass, then, uh, north to... No, no, um, east... To, uh, hmm..."
The whale swam against some seaweed and soon sniffled.
"Allergies..." Vincent noticed before panicking. "SHE'S GONNA BLOW!"
The whale soon sneezed which sent the kids flying, and where as they landed on an ice slope. The map shattered which was bad news for them.
"Our map! It's ruined!" Melody pouted. "Now how are we gonna find our way to Atlantica?"
"HELP!" A voice called out.
"Did someone call for help?" Akito asked, sounding like a superhero in old-time cartoons.
"It sounded like it came from that direction." Felicity said while pointing to where the voice called out.
They looked over and they saw a female penguin who seemed to be in distress.
"Someone, please! Help!" The female penguin frowned down below. "Oh! Oh, hold on, sweetie! We'll save you!"
"Heeelp!" A penguin chick cried out as she was on an ice patch and a shark passed by in the water. "Mama! Hurry!"
"Should we help?" Felicity whispered to the others.
"Who else will?" Akito narrowed his eyes. "Never turn down a call from danger!"
"Oi..." Vincent whispered about Akito's over enthusiasm. "You're not in the Justice League!"
"Maybe someday, I will be..." Akito smiled. "Don't worry, Penguins, I'm coming!"
There was then singing heard and they all looked around before seeing another penguin with a walrus.
"Looks like those two are coming to save the day." Vincent said.
"A walrus in a penguin family?" Estelle wondered.
"Mightier than a hurricane! Braver than a killer whale!" The penguin announced until he flung against a glacier and fell into the snow with it, but used it as a sword. "Faster than a moray eel! It's the fearless adventurers-"
"Slash explorers!" The walrus added.
"Titanic Tip and his trusty sidekick, Dash!" The penguin concluded as he came to the penguin mother, holding other penguins to get her baby back.
"Oh, no..." One of the penguins complained.
"Not them." Another penguin added.
The walrus soon climbed down which made the penguins very nervous and concerned.
"We're finally gonna be heroes for real!" The penguin beamed.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Estelle said.
"You too, huh?" Akito replied.
The mother penguin struggled with carrying the extra penguins including the walrus as they tried to save her baby to look like heroes. They began to swing over to the baby while noticing the shark fin.
"I should do something." Akito sighed.
The penguin and walrus soon panicked and climbed up the penguin chain while the baby was impatiently left behind. The mother penguin soon let go and the penguins piled up on the ice and the walrus fell with them, which catapulted the penguin baby into the air, but she was soon safe back in her mother's flippers.
"That's one way to rescue a baby." Vincent said.
"I'm just glad the baby is safe." Estelle smiled to her brothers.
The other penguins were soon squished from the walrus and they turned the other way around and soon, a hammerhead shark came for them and slammed on the ice which sent the other penguins flying in the air, and they all got stuck into the snowy cliff.
"Well, that wasn't so bad." Tip muffled.
"He's right." Vincent shrugged.
Suddenly, the cliff began to break and it soon crashed down into the water, making the penguins scream. The shark growled before looking up only to get smashed by the ice as they all splashed in the water. The penguin mother and her baby came out together and soon embraced each other since they were both safe.
"Well, that just happened." Estelle said.
"Another plan perfectly executed." Tip smirked with Dash.
"He calls that a perfect plan?" Akito deadpanned.
"What about your plan to sneak the cookie jar into our playpen when we were little?" Estelle smirked.
"Touche." Akito groaned.
"What did you think you were doing?!" The mother penguin glared with the others in the colony.
"We were just trying to be heroes." Dash pouted.
"You call abandoning my baby heroic?!" The mother penguin scoffed. "You two boys almost got us all killed!"
The other penguins soon mocked Tip and Dash, finding them useless. The kids found that to be mean.
"Go ahead, laugh your stinkin' tuxedos off!" Tip glared as he left with Dash before looking sad. "We'll show you... Someday."
Dash soon followed after him.
"Uh, excuse us?" Melody spoke up which startled the duo.
"Don't be scared, we won't hurt you." Estelle assured.
"Scared?" Tip scoffed. "Who said anything about being scared? Don't you know an evasive maneuver when you see one?"
This made the kids giggle to him.
"Hi, I'm Melody!" Melody smiled to Tip and Dash.
"And we're her cousins: Akito, Estelle, Vincent, Fudo and Felicity Forte." Akito introduced.
"This here's Tip, and I'm Dash." The walrus smiled.
"Excuse me, Mr. I-Spill-My-Guts-To-Total-Strangers," Tip glared at him. "You just blew our cover!"
"I was just trying to be friendly." Dash pouted.
"Uh, guys?" Estelle spoke up.
"We really need to get going, so if you could just tell us how-" Felicity added.
"Aww, see?" Dash pouted. "Now they're gonna leave, and it's all your fault!"
"My fault?!" Tip gasped. "T-T-They're probably just allergic to blubber!"
"Are they actually going to argue?" Estelle asked Akito.
"Yeah? Well, maybe they don't like BIRDS THAT CAN'T FLY!" Dash retorted to Tip.
"Yep." Akito replied.
"Guys!" Melody called out.
"Yeah, well, you can't fly either!" Tip glared at Dash.
"GUYS!" The kids yelled.
"Yeah? You walk funny!" Dash glared.
"Yeah? Well, you can't-" Tip glared back.
"GUYS!" The kids tried again.
Tip and Dash soon stopped and looked at them.
"Do any of you know how to get to Atlantica?" Melody asked. "We don't have much time."
"Why do you have to get to Atlantica?" Dash wondered.
"We need to get something back that was stolen from a friend." Estelle said.
"If we don't... I'll turn back into..." Melody frowned softly, looking at her tail fin as she backed up.
"A what?" Dash wondered. "Turn back into a what?"
"A child who cannot swim..." Felicity pouted sadly.
Tip gasped before glaring. "I knew there was something unfishy about you!" He then turned around to abandon them. "Tough break, kids! Drop us a line, tell us how it all worked out!"
"We'll take you." Dash smiled at the kids.
"You will?!" Melody smiled back.
"We will?" Tip added.
"They're some kids in distress, it's our big chance!" Dash whispered firmly.
Tip looked to his best friend before looking at the kids. Melody and Felicity looked quite hopeful.
"Ooh, oh, boy, I can't believe I'm doing this," Tip sighed to himself. "Somebody stop me! Alright then, we're in."
Dash smiled and jumped into the water.
"On to Atlantica!" Tip proclaimed before jumping on Dash's back.
Estelle began to do an Amazon battle cry. Akito and Vincent chuckled to that as they got ready. Melody and the others then swam after their new friends to begin their journey.
"Atlantica, here we come!" The Fudo siblings smiled.
They swam off with Tip and Dash.
"Taming the tides, swarming the seas~," Tip began to sing as he came into the water, making karate moves against a goldfish until a barracuda came behind him and scared him away. "Beware, barracudas drop to your knees, Defending our friends and anemones, As big as a whale~"
"And a much smaller tail." Estelle giggled slightly.
"Facing the foe with our fearless flukes, Daring the dastards to put up their dukes, Great globs of gore we'll storm the shore, And seek the unknown~" Tip sang, passing various fish as he hopped into the surface and used a jellyfish as a parachute.
"Then can we go home?" Dash asked.
They were soon seen riding a wave.
"Titanic Tip and Daring Dash, Adventurers/Explorers, Titanic Tip and Daring Dash, Adventurers slash explorers~," Tip and Dash sang together. "Our gallant quest to do our best, And smile for our adorers, We'll save the day, And make a splash, Titanic Tip and Daring Dash~"
Melody and the others soon giggled as they began to have a lot of fun with Tip and Dash.
'This sure is fun.' Felicity thought to herself.
"We'll clobber those crabs with their clammy claws~" Tip sang as he sword-fought with a crab as they ended up on a sunken pirate ship.
"We'll shatter those sharks with their savage jaws~" Dash added as he looked through binoculars.
"The battle is fierce!" Tip yelped as a treasure chest ran down the deck, bringing the ship down.
"And mercifully brief!" Dash added, holding onto the ship mast.
The ship soon sank and where the treasure from inside it soon dumped out.
"The conquering heroes return as Kings of the Reef~" The cousins sang together.
"We'll dine with the best dressed with a flair, Climb every mountain because it's there, Come on, follow me, We'll make history~" Tip sang as he and Dash sat at a table together, dressed like aristocrats. Tip soon treated the table blanket as a cape. "To courage us." The penguin them smiled.
"The trident." Melody smiled back.
"Or bust." Dash added.
"Titanic Tip and Daring Dash, Adventurers/Explorers, Titanic Tip and Daring Dash, Adventurers/Explorers~" They all sang together.
"We'll save the day~" Tip smiled.
"And make a splash!" Dash added.
Everyone then said their names, but Dash called himself 'Daring Dash'.
"All for seven and seven for one~," Everyone sang as they soon came up to the underwater kingdom. "Atlantica, here we come~"
"There it is." Estelle smiled.
"I knew it! It's real!" Melody gasped. "Atlantica!"
"Let's start looking." Akito smiled.
The others nodded as they swam into Atlantica to find the trident for Morgana.
