[Astra VO]. I'm supposed to tell you

about when I came to the Pearl Kingdom.

It was the same night as the Starfall,

when those stars went all crashy-go-splashy.

But I don't remember the stars falling.

The first thing I remember of my whole life is being lost.

This way?

Uh, or this way?

Ugh. Ah!

Oof!

[laughing]

[Astra gasping]

[giggling]

Uh, hello, random alone baby.

Do you know where I should go?

Oh.

[giggling]

You silly baby, that's my heart.

[growling]

[baby crying]

It's okay baby. I'll protect you,

somehow.

[Astra gulping]

Hide!

[baby whimpering]

? We're fine, baby

? No reason to cry

? Only problem is we're lost in the huge ocean,

? and we don't know where we are

? or where we're going,

? and we're all alone

except for maybe big, scary monsters.

Ah!

What should we do?

[scary suspenseful music]

Ah! [gulping]

[upbeat rock music]

? Mermicorno! ?

? Starfall! ?

? Mermicorno! ?

? Starfall! ?

[Astra VO]. Luckily, help was on the way.

Royal Mother Pearl

was at the Pearl Kingdom,

queening to the max.

For my next decree,

we shall distribute the smoothie surplus

to the sea-tizens.

Then, ask the royal shoemaker

to look into clogs.

Clogs are purportedly in this season.

Eh? Oh!

[Astra VO]. Royal Mother Pearl

was like...

Sweet iridescence!

What's going on with my magic pearl talisman?

[Astra VO]. The glow

was leading her somewhere.

Ugh. The things that end up in my ocean:

cola cans,

sunken treasure chests,

mysterious fallen stars.

[bright music]

All right. All right.

Off we go.

[Astra VO]. Everyone says

you should follow your heart.

But I say it's better to follow a magic pearl!

Over here.

[screaming]

[grunting]

Grrrr! Stay back you big, scary, shiny lady.

Well, hello.

I'm Royal Mother Pearl.

You may recognize me from my face on money.

[jubilant music]

Huh?

Huh. Not a local then.

We are several days' swim from any kingdom but my own.

You must be far from home and...

who are you?

I'm, um...

I couldn't remember anything.

Not even my name.

Well, maybe this will be easier.

Who is she?

[Astra]. Oh,

that's who I came here with.

She's, ah, ooh, ah, it's on the tip of my tongue.

Oh, mmm....

[dreamy music]

"She is Pearl Girl.

"Your hearts are forever linked.

"It's your destiny to protect her."

Those words just crashed into my brain.

[gasps] Maybe I can shake some more outta there.

Oh. Nothing.

We'll be lost forever.

My pearl's magic knew what was needed tonight.

Really? -Of course!

Earlier, it knew I was craving pizza

and magically whipped up a slice of pineapple surprise. Mmm.

Ooh, that's impressive.

Then, it led me to you.

You two can make my kingdom your home.

As long as you're in the Pearl Kingdom,

you'll never be lost again.

[Pearl Girl cooing]

Oh, that sounds swell.

Thanks, big, scary, shiny lady.

Come along! If we hurry,

there might still be bagels left in the palace break room.

Carbs, am I right? Mmm, mmm, mmm.

[ominous music]

[soft growling]

[Pearl Girl cooing]

I adopt these two as citizens of the Pearl Kingdom.

Oh, Barb, Barb, Barb, Barb,

can I also decree that this day shall be celebrated

as their adopt-iversary?

Well, you're the Queen, so yes, ya can.

You can do anything.

Okay, I'll go file this.

Oh, well I wish Pearl Girl could tell us more,

but I'm not fluent in baby.

Do you remember anything?

Perhaps seeing yourself will help you remember who you are.

I'm...

I'm...hmm.

What even am I?

Hmm. Wings, mermaid tail, horn.

[sniffs] Oh, smells like rainbow sprinkles!

[sniffing] Mmm.

Ugh.

Well, clutch my pearls!

You're a Mermicorno!

There's a Mermicorno Kingdom?

Fancy!

Oh, it's one of the most beautiful kingdoms in the sea.

Or it was.

It was believed to be here,

past the Creepy Kelp Forest

over the Missing Trench,

beyond the Fishbone Fields,

far from the Pearl Kingdom.

But it disappeared.

And no one has seen a Mermicorno for a thousand years!

Until me!

[gasps] That earns another star on my good luck chart!

I didn't have a clue who I was.

But since she found me the night of the Starfall,

Royal Mother Pearl

said I could be called a name that means star.

[Pearl Girl]. Astra!

[Astra VO]. So that's what everybody,

including that little cutie Pearl Girl,

has been calling me for the last two years.

[giggling]

[Pearl Girl]. Boop!

Wanna see!

Who am I?

Astra!

Sister.

Sister and bearer of tickle hooves!

[squealing and giggling]

[Astra VO]. Since then,

Pearl Girl and I have been inseparable.

Look, it says here

"that Mermicornos were known for their magical abilities,

which was called the 'Creative Force'".

Let me try.

Poof!

Pow!

Tail power!

Nope, no Creative Force.

Poof!

Pow!

Tail power!

What?

When did you get powers?

[magical music]

[gasps] Pearl Girl?

Where are you?

Hide-and-seek! [giggling]

Oh, thank horns.

I never remembered anything else about my past,

but what I know for sure is

the Pearl Kingdom is the best place ever!

[Pearl Girl]. You and me.

You and me. You and me.

You and me.

Yup, together forever, for always.

Right behind ya!

Higher!

[giggling]

Higher!

There may some scary things out there,

but we'll never be lost again.

as long as we're together in the Pearl Kingdom!

And that's our adopt-iversary story!

We celebrate every year

because the Queen could decree that.

And it's super easy to remember

because it was the same day

that those stars showed up everywhere.

Anyway, before the gift exchange,

singing the adopt-iversary anthem it's...

Pearl Girl!

[crowd gasping] [dramatic music]

[Astra]. Where is she?

[dramatic suspenseful music]

[Astra gasping]

Pearl Girl? Pearl Girl!

Oh! [exhales]

Pearl Girl? Pearl?

Pearl Girl? Huh?

[grunting]

[tense dramatic music]

[Royal Mother Pearl]. Pearl Girl?

Any sign of her?

Ooh! Uh, not yet.

But Pearl Girl is magical and she always comes home.

She's probably just zipping, blipping, and bopping around.

[Astra groans]

Oh, I'm sure she'll be back soon.

"Friends can be found by following your heart.

"The key to following your heart is knowing who you are."

Oh.

How am I supposed to know that

when I can't remember anything about me?

[Gwen]. Oof!

[gasping]

Hey.

[suspicious music]

Ah! -Ooh!

A thief?

Drop that! That is not yours!

It's a misunderstanding!

Uh, I thought it was, uh, a part of the party gift bag. Yeah.

Unicorn horn,

mermaid tail, wings.

[sniffing]

Smells like rainbow sprinkles and, whoa,

cheese?

But definitely rainbow sprinkles.

[gasps] You're a Mermicorno!

Oh, I've been dreaming of meeting a Mermicorno

to be my best friend forever!

Back those wings up.

I'm nobody's best friend.

Hmph! Especially not some pearl princess.

Princess? Me?

No, no, no, no. No way.

But the important question is,

have you seen Pearl Girl?

She's about this tall,

shiny, great singing voice.

She's been missing about

three hours.

That's not so long, right?

Not long at all.

Well, smell ya later, smelt smeller. [chuckles]

Smelt smeller?

Ooh! You-you-you get back here, you, uh, uh, rule-breaker!

[both grunting]

Pearl Girl?

Are you in there?

[both grunting]

Another Mermicorno?

Royal Mother! I caught a thief!

She was trying to steal that shield.

Maybe she took Pearl Girl too!

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold your horseshoes!

I'm a lone Mermicorno, okay.

I've got no family,

no friends,

definitely no pearl kids.

Though, uh, I'm sorry to hear she's not around.

Heard the kid had a great singing voice.

"She is Pearl Girl.

"Your hearts are forever linked.

"It is your destiny to protect her."

That's all I knew for sure!

But I lost her.

Oh, dear Astra,

none of this is your fault.

I'm sure we'll find Pearl Girl.

After all,

the Pearl Kingdom has been 1,200,003 years

without incident.

But what if Pearl Girl's magic took her beyond the pearl gates

to the Creepy Kelp Forest,

or the Missing Trench,

or the Fishbone Fields?

What if she's in trouble?

I have to do something.

I'll go out there to look for her.

You stay here in case she comes back.

But, but Astra!

I'll need my bag and some supplies.

I should hit the ol' current too.

[Gwen humming]

Oof!

I think not!

In the Pearl Kingdom,

we serve our justice hot,

and occasionally with a side of ice cream. Mm-mm.

So I sentence you, uh, what's your name?

Last name Stinkfin, first name Ima.

I sentence you, Ima Stinkfin-

[Gwen laughing] [cool rock music]

Name's Gwen.

Just get it over with.

I sentence you, Gwen...

[gulping]

To being my student!

Huh?

I'll teach you how to be generous,

perform random acts of kindness,

and most importantly, never steal.

For our first lesson,

you'll join me in the search.

Oh Pearl Girl?

If this is some sort of hide-and-seek game,

I'm not having fun.

Perhaps we can play bocce ball,

uh, or, uh, croquet instead!

Yes!

Pearl Girl?!

Ugh! Um, ditto.

If Pearl Girl gets back before me,

can you yell really loud so I hear you

before I get too far away?

I'll yell my loudest.

[thunder rumbling]

Save travels, Astra.

Yo, Your, uh, Royal Highness-ess-ness,

uh, I think it would be in the spirit of that kindness junk

you were yapping about

if I help this one on her big day out.

Oh, yes!

Learning so well already, Gwen.

But that's up to Astra.

What do you say, Canasta?

It's Astra!

And it would be nice to have an extra set of eyes

to look for Pearl Girl.

But you have to follow my lead.

If only I knew where we were supposed to go.

Ooh! I know what will help.

Wait here.

Better be snacks.

I'm starving.

Got snacks in that bag?

Hey! Hmph.

[sniffs] Ooh, is this candy?

Or is it something boring?

[Astra grunting] [Gwen chuckling]

[funky music] [both grunting]

Ah! [Gwen chuckling]

That's the gift I made for Pearl Girl.

Homemade? Ugh.

Super boring.

Astra, I'm trusting you with my most precious pearl.

If you truly need help, ask the pearl.

But use its magic wisely.

You wouldn't wanna drain all its power.

Then it would be useless.

You know, pretty, but useless.

Thank you.

Come on, Gwen.

I will continue leading the search here.

PEARL GIRL?

[sad music]

I haven't left the palace grounds since I got here.

Leaving's easy.

Just one hoof in front of the other.

I'd think a great fearless leader such as yourself

would know that, Astronaut.

It's still Astra.

And if you don't like me,

you don't have to come with me.

Ha! No way I'm going back to goodness school.

Besides, us going out here could be all right.

"All right," like we could become friends?

What? No! No, no, no

Fr-frie-frie-frie-

ugh, nah, nah, nah, you know, not that thing.

Uh, I just meant all right like, uh, I could stretch my fins,

get in a little cardio,

you know, run away from that Pearl Palace

and never look back.

[thunder clapping] Get up, Gwen. We need to go.

Um, but which way?

I don't wanna use too much magic,

but maybe a little hint of which way we should go?

[magical music]

Come on! This way!

[bright music]

[thunder clapping]

Hi. Have you seen my dad?

His fishing boat was supposed to be back this morning but-

[thunder clapping]

Okay. Thanks!

I'll just wait for him here while I eat lunch.

[spooky music]

Dad?

Dad! I'm coming for you!

[Astra]. So you don't remember anything

from before the Starfall either?

Nope.

Can I ask you a personal question?

Nope.

Why'd you come to the Pearl Palace?

Did you follow your heart?

Nope!

I followed my stomach

to that all-you-can-eat cake buffet.

[Astra laughing]

Ah, you got a little something on your face.

Strange. Where did that come from?

[mysterious music]

[ominous music]

Huh? [gasps]

Shark!

I have to help.

Astra!

Hey! Grrr!

Here we go.

[shudders] Ugh. Astra!

[moans]

[chuckles]

Grrr!

Back off, uh, guppy gills!

What's it to you, minnow?

Uh, the little white one is an acquaintance of mine.

You say acquaintance, I say dinner.

[Gwen gasping]

Astra! Watch out!

Here. Here.

We'll lose the shark in here.

[suspenseful music]

[evil chuckling]

[panting] [suspenseful music]

Where'd you go, minnows?

[gasping]

[sniffs] Mmm.

Rainbow sprinkles. [chuckles]

Ha ha.

I'll protect you.

Just this one last time.

Please help.

Huh?

[magical music]

?

Huh?

[Gwen]. Hey, spike face!

Stay away from my friend!

[tense dramatic music]

Huh? Whoa whoa!

[twinkling music]

?

What did I do? -What did you do?

[bright music]

Hello, Mermicornos!

Thank you!

I'm Kameko.

Thought I had it under control there,

but I needed a helping hand,

er, fin, or hoof, or wing?

All of the above?

[sniffs] Anyone else smell rainbow sprinkles?

Ah, hi.

Ah, you speak fish?

No, you speak human, silly.

Whoa, my legs feel funny.

Huh? [giggling]

I'm a mermaid!

Satsumaimo!

I'm a uni-fish-girl-icorn.

No, wait, a mer-uni-maid?

A mermaid-icorno?

Yeah, nailed it!

[Kameko giggling]

Ugh. Couldn't you have saved someone less peppy?

[gasps] Oh no.

No. No, no, no, no, no, no.

Did I use all of the magic?

Yeah, I'm-I'm getting zippo on the magic-o.

But, uh, on the bright side,

now I can do this!

[bright music]

Question! Why do you use that pearl to transform me

instead of using your Creative Force?

You know, your Mermicorno powers?

Uh, yeah, I don't have any powers.

No way. No way. Uh-uh. Not me.

But what about the stories my dad told me about you?

I mean, I think it was you.

Aren't you...

Last name's Stinkfin.

Ignore her. She's Gwen.

Yeah! Gwen!

The best, best friend!

Uh-uh-uh, no, no, no, no.

You must have held your breath too long, kid.

Because I am nobody's best friend.

[echoing] Best friend. Best friend.

[dreamy music]

We'll always be best friends.

Love you to the moon!

And back!

We followed our hearts and now we must protect Earth.

[Gwen]. Hello? Ocean to Astra!

Oh great.

Our fearless leader broke.

How do we turn her off and on again?

Woo! [gasps]

I remembered something!

Something from before!

You were there, Gwen.

And you were, um, nice.

Ah ha! That shark must have knocked your horn loose,

'cause I don't do nice.

I'm an ice-cold Mermicorno.

[Kameko]. Oh right!

Mermicornos lost their memories when those stars fell.

What else do you know about us?

Not much.

My dad's the real expert.

I'd take you to him, but he's missing.

Lost at sea.

Oh, that's awful.

I'm sorry, Kameko.

Yeah, well, my condolences land-toes.

But, uh, if you can't help us,

we gotta get back to our thing.

Gwen's right.

We have to find Pearl Girl.

Maybe I could come with you?

I don't have even a tiny clue of where I am,

and maybe my dad is wherever you're going.

Of course you can come with us, Kameko!

So, Pearl was leading us this way.

Or was it that way?

We're lost!

And the pearl's drained.

Oh!

There there.

Uh, uh, didn't ya say your heart was linked to the pearl kid?

So, I don't know,

uh, follow your heart?

But that book said I have to know who I am

to follow my heart and, uh,

I don't remember anything about myself.

I don't have to remember much

to know that you're really helpful.

You mermaid-icorno-ed me!

Okay. [sighs]

I know I'm helpful.

[Gwen]. Oh, I got one!

You don't get sarcasm.

No, I don't like sarcasm.

That's different. [gasps]

It's working! What else?

Um, I was scared to leave,

but I did because Pearl Girl needs me

and it's my destiny to protect her.

I guess that makes me courageous?

Huh?

[Gwen gasping]

[magical music]

Ha! Ha! This way!

Eeee!

How about me?

You think I should go with these two?

All right. All right.

But stop it with the glowing, okay?

It's embarrassing.

[Kameko]. Exciting!

Mermicorno and Kameko ocean adventure ahoy!

[eerie music]

[panting] Ika!

Whoa, I mean, your High Darkness.

Sorry. Sorry.

You know, just a, just a long swim.

Where's the child, Sawtooth?

Well, uh, you see,

I used your ink, just like you said,

and it lured the girl into the water.

And I almost had her

but these two Mermicornos got her first and, oh-

[Ika]. Wait.

The daughter of the turtle is with two Mermicornos?

Uh, yes.

Oh, so much magic power we can harness.

[Ika chuckling]

It's time for the next phase, Pearl Girl.

Call me the Dark Pearl.

[sinister laughing] [ominous music swells]
