"Return to Merroway Cove"
Slip the line through, and...
unhh-- Arggh!
Hey, Dad.
What are you up to?
Ahh! I am going
to do a little fishing.
It's supposed to be
very relaxing.
Hmm. What about you, Sofia?
- I'm going to meet Oona.
- Well, have fun.
But be back in time
for the Water Show.
It was so nice
of Queen Emmaline
to invite us.
I wouldn't miss it.
Have fun fishing.
Ha ha! I will.
If I can just...
get started.
Ohh! Arrgh!
[conch horn blows]
- That was amazing!
- [all] Sofia?
Princess Sofia?
Hi there!
Hi, Sven! Hi, everybody!
I can't believe
that was only a rehearsal.
And the real show's
gonna be even bigger!
Did you like my fountain,
Sofia?
Mother is teaching me
how to use the Current Conch.
It was beautiful, Cora.
I bet you didn't even notice
my tiny little boring waves.
I thought they looked great!
This Mermaid Comb
can do all kinds
of amazing things
with water,
but I'm barely allowed
to do anything with it.
Oona, I'll teach you in time.
Can't I do something fun
for the show?
Like a Water Bridge?
Or maybe a tiny
little Sea Twister?
Oh, you're way
too young for that.
I told you I'll teach you
more skills when you're ready.
But Mom, I'm ready now.
Ahh. Now, Sofia,
if you will excuse me,
Sven, I need you to run
some more errands.
[Sven]
Yes, Your Highness.
Don't worry, Oona.
My big fountain
may be the star of the show,
but your little waves
are adorable.
Your fountain
isn't that big.
Hmph!
- Oona?
- Don't worry,
she'll be okay.
She just needs
to cool off a little.
It's not fair!
My mom and Cora treat me
like I'm a little kid!
Well, I have the Mermaid Comb.
I can do a lot
more than they think.

Yes! I did it!
Uh, wait. Sea Twister--
Stop! Stop!
Not the Seaweed Garden!
Arggh! Look out
for that school of fish!
Oh, no!
I can't let Mom see this!
Wait!
No, no, no.
I have to stop it.
[conch horn blowing]
Oona's been gone a while.
Oh, she's fine.
She just gets like this
sometimes.
I'm going to
go check on her, Cora.
See you at the show.
Oona?
Oo-na!
Oona? Oona!
Are you hiding?
- Whoa!
- Aah!
Did I getcha?
Are ya scared?
You're scared, aren't ya?
[laughing]
[gasps]
Hey! Whatcha doin'?
I think the better question is:
What are you doing?
I wasn't doin' nothin'.
No? You weren't trying
to scare anyone?
Nah. I'm a sweetheart.
Everybody loves me.
I got a charming
personality. Ask her.
- Are you all right?
- I'm fine.
He just startled me.
Look, I'm a scare-acuda.
It's what I do.
What do you want from me?
That's an Enchantlet--
you're a Protector!
I am indeed.
My name's Nerissa,
and this is Rhona.
- [Rhona] Hello.
- And who might you be,
young lady?
- Uh, can I go?
- Hush!
- I'm Sofia.
- Why did you go
in that cave?
Every mermaid knows
not to go in a cave
like that.
I'm not really a mermaid.
Wait. Princess Sofia?
As in Chrysta's-
Protector-Trainee Sofia?
That's me.
So you know Chrysta?
Know her? I was in training
at the same time as Chrysta.
We had more fun
than a school of monkey fish.
I like monkey fish.
They scare easy.
Excuse me.
Ahem!
Scare-acuda's agreed to stay
in the north end of the Cove?
- Yeah, but--
- Are you in the north end
of the Cove?
- No, but--
- Then where do you need to go?
- North?
- That's right.
You can go now.
But if I see you here again...
I'm goin', I'm goin'.
These mermaids. Can't
scare anyone anymore.
Everyone's so sensitive
all the time...
So what brings you
to Merroway Cove, Sofia?
I'm visiting a friend.
Why are you here?
Are you on
a Protector mission?
I am. To find
one of the Wicked Nine
and take it to
the Mystic Isles
for safekeeping.
One of the Wicked Nine?
Which one?
Ursula's Magic Shell Necklace.
It's been hidden
in the Kelp Forest here
for years.
The one she captured
Ariel's voice in?
Exactly. So I really
should be on my way.
Good-bye, Sofia.
I'm sure we'll meet again.
- Come on, Rhona.
- I hope so! Bye!
Oona! There you are.
- Oh! Hi, Sofia!
- Are you okay?
I'm fine. Really.
Have you seen maybe
a tiny little Sea Twister...
kind of swirling by
around here?
It's kind of like
an underwater tornado?
But it's no big deal.
[nervous laugh]
Forget it.
No big deal?
Oona, what happened?
Remember how I said
the Mermaid Comb
could make all kinds of things
with water?
- Yeah?
- Well...
I tried a new skill with it.
Oh, no.
I made a little Sea Twister,
and it kind of got away from me?
Oona!
Let's tell your mom.
She'll know what to do.
Oh, we don't
want to do that.
I know what to do. I'm sure
I can make it disappear.
Maybe you can
help me catch it?
- [Sven panting]
- Sven! What's wrong?
We have a Sea Twister!
It's okay.
We know about that.
What?! Did it come by here
already?
No. We know because...
I made it.
Oona, how could you do
such a thing!
Sven, that's not important
right now.
What's important
is that we stop it.
Well, we have to tell the Queen!
She'll know what to do.
No! We don't need Mom!
We can stop the Twister
ourselves.
I hope by "we"
you mean you,
because I do not know
how to stop a Sea Twister.
Maybe he's right, Oona.
What if it's too big for you?
That's why I'm asking
for you to help me.
And if it's too big for us,
then I'll tell my mom. Okay?
Okay. So, how do we find it?
The Twister was last seen
moving toward the Kelp Forest.
[gasps] Nerissa was heading
to the Kelp Forest.
Come on!
[Sofia gasps]
Look at the Kelp Forest!
The Twister's already
been through here!
[Crab]
Excuse me! Mermaids!
Down here!
Would ya mind?
Can I get a little help?
Here you go, little guy.
Thank you!
There sure is a lot of damage.
[Sven] And the longer
we wait to get your mom,
the more damage it's going to--
[octopus]
Look out below!!!
Look out!
[octopus panting]
Sorry! Sorry, everyone!
Are you okay?
I got caught up
in a Sea Twister.
Can you believe it?
Was it ginormous?
I didn't see it
all that well.
I was swimming along,
and then everything was swoosh,
ker-blam, splat! What?!
Crash! Is that an anchor?
Yes, it is! Kapowee!
And here I am.
Here you go.
That should do it.
Thank you so much.
Ahhh!
I would have been
in real trouble,
but out of nowhere
this super-strong mermaid
came and saved me.
- Nerissa!
- Didn't catch her name,
but she pulled me
away from the Twister.
- Whoa!
- "Whoa" is right!
She got me out of danger,
but then she got caught
in the Twister.
I tried to grab her,
but I only got
this bracelet thingy.
That's her Enchantlet!
Where did you last see her?
At the shipwreck.
What shipwreck?
Not your shipwreck?
Uh, no. Mine is on
the other side of the forest.
He must mean
the Stormy Shipwreck!
That's right!
It's back thataway!
Come on!
We have to try
to help Nerissa!
Maybe this is a good time
to tell your mother?
Hello? Wait up!
[Sofia] Look! Over there!
Sofia! You are a sight
for sore eyes.
Are you all right?
Yes, yes. I'm just stuck here.
What can we do?
This mast is very heavy.
I don't think
your Enchantlet can lift it.
Maybe if I Bond
our Enchantlets together
they'd be strong enough?
Great thinking, Sofia,
but unfortunately
I lost my--
Enchantlet!
This friendly octopus
found it.
I'm Octavio!
Remember me?
Yes, I do.
Octavio, thank you.
You'll need this.
Do you know how to do the Bond?
I think so.
Chrysta taught me.
Ready, Nerissa?
- Ready.
- All right.
One, two, three!
[Sven] Wow!
- [mast creaking]
- [Sofia grunting]
Oh!
Whoa!
Ahh! Handled like
a true Protector, Sofia.
- [Sven] Who knew?
- [Sofia] Thanks.
Did you find
Ursula's necklace?
I did. It was in a chest
buried under that shipwreck.
Unfortunately, the Sea Twister
took the chest with it!
Then we have to catch up
to that Twister.
And get that necklace back.
Can I lend
a tentacle?
I got eight!
Thanks for all your help,
Octavio,
you've been so brave.
But I think you'd better
go home now.
I guess you're right.
If my mom hears about this,
she'll be like,
"Octavio? A Twister? What?!
"Wipe your tentacles!
Eat your seaweed!
Go to bed!"
Bye, you guys.
Bye, Octavio. Thank you!
I'm going too.
I've gotta make this right.
Oona, wait!
Oona!!!
[Sven] Oona!
Get away from that thing!
I'm okay, Sven!
I'm not too close!
Look! Here's the chest!
Why isn't it
spinning like crazy?
It must be in
the eye of the Twister.
It's a place in
the center of the Twister
where the water's calmer.
So, how do we get
the chest out of there?
I'll take care of it!
Sea Twister!
I command you to go!!!
No! Not "grow!" I said "go!"
Go! Go! Go!
[grunting]
[Oona screams]
- [Sven whimpering]
- [Sofia grunting]
Whoa! Whoa!
- Sofia!
- Sven!
Can't swim out!
- Must swim in!
- [Sven] In?!
Look! There's the chest!
Good. We have Ursula's necklace.
Okay, great.
But how do we
get out of here?
What are we gonna do?
I have an idea.
I just hope Sofia
figures out what I'm doing.
What are you doing?
What is that?
The Bond! Of course!
Hold on tight, Sven.
Gotcha!
Look! The Twister
is moving toward the Palace!
Oh, no! Everyone is
gathering there
to get ready for
the Water Show!
Oona, you know
what you have to do.
Ohh. I tried
to make it right,
but that turned out awful!
And I don't know how to fix it.
Uhhh! I have to go get my mom.
I should have done it sooner.
Sofia and I will try
to slow the Twister down.
Swim like an arrow fish, Oona!
Find the Queen!
Now, let's see
what we can do.
Cora! I'm looking for Mom.
Oh. She's not here.
She's helping
set up the show.
- Why?
- Because I need her!
Uh-oh. What did you do?
Nothing. This is
between me and Mom.
- Is she in the Cove?
- Oona, tell me
what's going on.
I--I can't.
There's a Sea Twister!
- Sven!
- A Sea Twister?!
That's why we need Mom.
It's coming straight
for the Palace!
Where did a Sea Twister
come from?
I...kind of...made it?
- You what?!
- I was trying
to rehearse a new skill
for the show tonight.
No, you were trying
to do something
you shouldn't have.
[sighs] I know.
And if I could take it back,
I would.
I just wanted to do something
amazing for the show. Like you.
Ya know, maybe
we don't need Mom.
What?!
I know how to use the Trident.
- Mostly.
- Mostly?
At least I've seen Mom use it,
and this way we wouldn't have to
tell her what you did,
- would we?
- No. We wouldn't.
Oona,
this is a bad idea!
She's doing the same thing
with the Trident
that you did with the Comb!
Sven always worries.
It's true, I do.
But this is still
a bad idea,
and I'm not going
to be a part of it!
Cora, can you really
handle the Trident?
Of course I can.
With...unh..a little help.
Oh! We have to hurry!
[Sofia] Nerissa,
let's pull those big rocks down
and block the Twister!
Oh, no! Now it's headed
straight for the Palace!
[both gasp]
Hold it up!
I'm doing
the best I can!
Queen Emmaline!
Whew! I'm glad
to see you again,
Queen Emmaline.
And I'm glad to see you
in one piece!
You got here just in time.
Thanks for getting your mom
so fast.
She didn't get me--
Sven did.
Yeah, I did.
If you'll excuse me,
Your Highness,
I must take this
to the Mystic Isles
right away.
Go. With our gratitude.
Sofia, I wouldn't have
Ursula's necklace
if it weren't for you.
You're going to make
a wonderful Protector.
Until next time.
Come on, Rhona,
let's go.
Bye, Nerissa!
Why didn't you come
get me right away?
I thought I could control
the Trident.
Ohh, Cora!
You must never touch the Trident
without my permission.
Is that understood?
Yes. I'm sorry,
Mother.
Mom, it wasn't Cora.
It was me.
What do you mean?
I made the Sea Twister.
What?
Why would you do that?
I wanted to do
a special skill
for the show tonight.
Something just as amazing
as Cora's.
You said you'd teach me
when I was older,
but I wanted to try it now.
I'm sorry.
Please don't blame Cora.
You should have
known better-- both of you.
I'm afraid you're both
confined to the Palace.
Does this mean
we can't be in the show tonight?
Well, since you told the truth
and owned up to your mistakes,
I suppose you could
start being confined
to the Palace...
tomorrow.
- Really?
- Yes!
As long as you make sure
this never happens again.
- We promise.
Thank you, Mom.
- Thank you, Mom!
Good. Oh! Now it's almost
time for the show.
We don't want to keep
our guests waiting.
Do we, Sofia?
That's right.
Oh, wait.
I'm one of your guests.
Uh, hmm.
- Where's Sofia?
- Right here, Dad.
How was your fishing?
Did you catch anything?
Ha ha! Yes!
A nice, long nap.
[fanfare plays]
Oh, the show is about to start.
I'm glad you didn't miss
the excitement.
We wouldn't want that.
[music playing]
Beautiful!
