Plot[]
Ariel and her friends are racing across the ocean when they spot creatures rushing off somewhere. Ariel and her friends follow them to see folks with their pets. Ariel asks Chantale about it, and it turns out that today is the Atlantica pet show, where anyone can bring their pets to show off their tricks. Delfino has Tica while Ronaldo has a pet sea bunny. Ariel is happy to see Delfino and Tica. Tica will do a funny flip trick Delfino taught her while Ronaldo's pet bunny will do a bouncy spin trick. Ariel, Lucia, and Fernie want to enter a pet in the show, but they don't have one.
Ursula then arrives with Ebb and Flo, and Lucia decides to enter them into the show, which Ariel supports. Ursula can't wait for the pet show, and allows Ebb and Flo to be in the pet show. Ariel and her friends are sure that they can teach Ebb and Flo new tricks. Ursula mentions Ebb and Flo's characteristics and how every pet is different. Ariel and her friends keep the facts in mind and are allowed to enter Ebb and Flo into the pet show.
They then sign up for the show and are told by Chantale that each pet gets to do one special trick for the crowd. With the show starting soon, Ariel and Fernie are about to show Ebb a trick when Delfino observes Tica doing flips and Ronaldo observes his sea bunny doing spin. Ariel decides for Ebb to do the Flip and Spin trick. However, Ebb is not doing the trick.
Meanwhile, Flo is mastering his trick, which Lucia and Flounder call the Swirly Whirly. They taught him the trick as Flo likes the kibble bits. Lucia and Flounder demonstrate how the trick is done. This gives Ariel an idea about giving Ebb a kibble bit so he can do the Flip and Spin trick. Ebb does the body wave and changes colors but doesn't spin. When he eats a few more, he still doesn't flip. Ariel finally remembers the fact about every pet being different and liking different things.
Ebb then munches on the kibble bits with Fernie stopping it. Ariel and Fernie spot Ronaldo whistling, causing his sea bunny to do his trick. Ariel and Fernie whistle in an attempt to get Ebb to do his trick, which he doesn't do. With the pet show starting now and Ebb still not ready, Ariel and Fernie decide to watch the other pets to their tricks.
Fernie then gives Ebb a belly rub, causing Ebb to do the Flip and Spin trick afterwards. Fernie does the belly rub again, and Ebb does the trick again. Ariel and Fernie conclude that Ebb really likes belly rubs. They enter Ebb into the pet show, and Ursula is proud of him and Flo. Chantale decides for the pets to do their tricks again, which they do to an ovation.
