Plot[]
Ariel and her friends come across Ravi, who is having his birthday today. However, Ravi is sad because Navi isn't here yet. Ariel states that she is coming soon, as she never misses one of Ravi's birthday parties. Also, every year, Navi makes him her famous sponge cake, his favorite dessert ever. Ravi is worried as Navi never swims in late to anything. Ariel assumes that there should be a reason Navi isn't there yet. Fernie would never miss his best friend's birthday, and the same goes for Lucia, unless Ursula was having a magic competition, but Lucia states that friends always come first. Ariel tells Fernie and Lucia to cheer Ravi up while she and Flounder look for Navi.
Ariel and Flounder come across Navi, who wasn't invited to Ravi birthday party. She mentions that Ravi sends her an invitation every year. Navi assumes that she's not his best friend anymore. Ariel and Flounder assume that there has to be a reason for that, and decide for Navi to come along to the party to talk to Ravi and maybe find out what happened to her invitation. Ariel and Flounder also promise fun activities, and Navi decides to go to the party.
Meanwhile, Fernie and Lucia are playing ball when Ariel and Flounder arrive with Navi. Ravi wonders why she didn't bring the sponge cake, and then swims away. Ariel states that Navi didn't make the cake because she didn't think she was invited to the party. Ravi assumes he sent Navi an invitation, and after Ariel suggests talking to Navi, Ravi assumes she doesn't want to be his best friend anymore. Ariel wonders what needs to be done, and Flounder sees what's happening. Ariel then decides for her friends to do the activities Ravi and Navi wanted to do together, and they'll forget they're mad at each other and start talking again.
First, Flounder shares his knock-knock jokes, and Ravi and Navi join in briefly before going apart. Then, Ravi and Navi bounce in a playhouse with the others. It looks like they're having fun, but when they bump into each other, they leave again. The next activity is Musical Chairs. It ends with Ravi and Navi sitting on the chair at the same time, and they leave again. Lucia tells Ariel that she's a good friend for trying to get Ravi and Navi to talk. Ariel thanks her, Flounder, and Lucia, as their nice words are making her feel better. This gives Ariel an idea: she decides to get Ravi and Navi to get better by getting them to say something nice about each other.
Ariel and her friends decide to play a game about saying something nice about each other, with Ravi and Navi joining in. Ravi tells Navi that she makes the best sponge cake, and they tell more facts about what they like about each other. Ravi and Navi apologize to each other. Ravi states that he did send Navi an invitation, as he'll always want her at his birthday party because she's his best friend. Ravi thanks Ariel and her friends for getting him and Navi to talk to each other. Later at the party, Navi arrives with the sponge cake, and Ravi knocks his party hat off, which contained Navi's invitation all along. Ravi assumes that he forgot to mail it, as his party hat is where he keeps all of his really important things. Navi then wishes Ravi a happy birthday.
