Plot[]
Ariel, Fernie, Lucia, and Flounder have a lot of human stuff, and Ariel shows what she got. They then see Remy circling the crystal cavern without Sanka the shark, as they're always together because remora fish always travel on the backs of their other fish friends. They then talk to him, and he states that he's lost. Sanka states that whenever Remy is lost, he has to stop in a safe spot and swim in place, and then the shark comes to find him. After Ariel and Flounder mention it, Sanka decides to see the crystal cavern while Lucia stays out and watches for Sanka and Fernie goes to the market to ask if anyone's seen him.
Remy likes the idea, and Ariel and Flounder show him the crystal cavern, which he likes. Ariel shows her land treasure to Remy, as well as her doll, Naeema. As Remy looks around the cavern, Ariel checks on Lucia, who is still working on the bubble cabubble spell while waiting for Sanka to return. When Ariel returns to the crystal cavern, she finds it a mess, which was caused by Remy. Flounder tells Ariel that Remy is not being a very good houseguest. After Ariel puts Naeema in a safe place, she decides to give Remy a snack.
Flounder then serves sea butter and algae jelly sandwiches. Remy thanks him for that, but he leaves crumbs everywhere and makes more of a mess. Ariel assumes that he's very excited about all of their stuff. Ariel then decides to check in with Lucia, who is still having trouble with the bubble spell, and tells her about what Remy is doing. Lucia notices what's happening, and Ariel decides to check on Fernie to see if he found Sanka.
Ariel sees Fernie, who states that no one knows where Sanka is. She tells him about Remy being a bad houseguest due to the mess he's making in the crystal cavern. Ariel sees what's happening, and Flounder tells her that Remy decided to have his friends over for a party in the crystal cavern without asking. As Remy continues his moves, he breaks Ariel's land treasure. She is sad about it, and apologizes for letting Remy swimming around the crystal cavern doing whatever he wanted. Ariel states that if she told Remy to be a good houseguest, her land treasure wouldn't be broken and the crystal cavern wouldn't have been a big mess.
Ariel then decides to talk to Remy, as she is the one who invited him to stay in the cavern. She finds him on top of a shipwreck and mentions the different messes Remy made. Ariel states that her friends love having friends come over, as long as they are good houseguests. This gives Ariel an idea: she tells Remy what a houseguest is and does. Remy apologizes for not being a good houseguest. Remy then returns, along with Sanka, who is delighted to see Remy again. Sanka thanks Ariel and her friends for looking out for him. Before leaving, Remy cleans up the mess in the cavern, including putting together Ariel's land treasure. Remy can come to the crystal cavern again if he promises to be a good houseguest next time, and Ariel and her friends agree. Remy and Sanka then leave.
