Plot[]
Ariel, Fernie, Lucia, and Flounder are playing patty clap when Flounder serves them kelp cookies. Ariel wonders what they should do next when King Triton arrives, telling them it's time for bed, and tells a reason why. As Flounder goes to sleep, Triton reminds everyone to brush their teeth before then. Once they do so, Ariel tells Flounder to not forget his lovey, as he always sleeps with it. Ariel tells everyone what a lovey is, and states that not everyone wants or needs one to sleep, unlike Ariel and Flounder. Lucia shows her lovey, which was made by her abuelita, but as for Fernie, he is missing his Dra Konfó, which is his comfort blanket he always falls asleep with. Ariel, Flounder, and Lucia know the feeling.
Fernie decides to fall asleep without his Dra Konfó, although Ariel could've told King Triton about it. Ariel, Flounder, and Lucia then go to sleep, but Fernie is having trouble doing so. He then wakes everyone up before going back to sleep and vowing to be brave. Fernie then uses Lucia's bubble spell to trap himself in a bubble, waking everyone up. Fernie then goes to brush his teeth, while Ariel goes back to sleep. Later, Fernie mentions about a story and wonders what happened after that. Ariel mentions that they ate breakfast, and Fernie wonders what it was. Lucia and Flounder then wake up, and Fernie apologizes for that, and they all return to sleep. Fernie states that he is having trouble sleeping without his Dra Konfó. He thought he would do so, but he couldn't do so, as he isn't as brave as he thought.
Ariel states that it's okay, as just because Fernie needs a lovey doesn't make him any less brave or change who he is, as he isn't ready to sleep without one. Flounder, Lucia, and Ariel support Fernie with their statements, stating that he's the bravest person they know. Fernie tells Ariel to tell King Triton to get his Dra Konfó, and she agrees. Triton then arrives with the Dra Konfó, and Fernie thanks him for that before going to sleep with the others. At morning, Triton is ready to serve everyone breakfast, but Fernie is still asleep with his Dra Konfó. So, Triton decides to keep the pancakes warm until Fernie wakes up.
