"Substitute Sebastian" is the second segment of the thirteenth episode of Ariel. It premiered on September 30, 2024 alongside "La Sirenusca".
==Plot==
Ariel, Fernie, Lucia, and Flounder are practicing their instruments in music class, taught by Sebastian, who likes the performance. So, they decide to jam out, or play whatever we want, but Sebastian tells them that that's not what they'll be doing, as he wants them to play the song they performed previously again, as he liked it so much. Ariel, Fernie, and Lucia state what they'll be doing before performing. Sebastian warns them that they are not allowed during music class. He states that the rules are there to help their music get better. Ariel and the others play the song again.
Later, they tell King Triton how the class went. Ariel tells them that Sebastian is a great music teacher, but he has so many rules. Ariel, Fernie, Lucia, and Flounder wish what it's like to have a different teacher for a day. At music class, Triton states that Sebastian was called away on important royal business, so his cousin, Henrick, will be the teacher today. He tells Ariel and her friends to play whatever they like, although Sebastian doesn't let them do that. They do so, and Henrick likes it. He tells them to jam out, but to something new, and five new jam out songs.
Ariel states that Henrick has one rule, but Sebastian has more. Also, she and her friends like to jam out, so they make up some songs and play whatever they want. They make up four songs, but have difficulty on the last one. Lucia states that it isn't fun anymore. Henrick states that he has a few more rules, some of them being to play five new songs every day, clean the band stand while practicing their singing, and not forget the other rules.
Ariel and her friends are tired and are glad the class is over. They tell King Triton how their class went, and he states that Henrick will be the music teacher permanently, as Sebastian won't be coming back. Triton reminds Ariel what it would be like to have a new music teacher for a day, and states that it'll be fun. The others are sad that Sebastian's not coming back. Ariel thought having a different music teacher would help music class be better, but what matters is Sebastian is their music teacher and they miss him. So, Ariel and her friends play a song about how great Sebastian is as a music teacher.
Afterwards, they hear Henrick crying, as he loved their song. He then drops his moustache, revealing himself to be Sebastian all along. Ariel is glad everything is all right, and realizes that he has rules to make sure their music will get better, and they will follow them from now on. King Triton is happy they all realizes what Sebastian means to them. Sebastian has one more rule to share: he will never leave Ariel and her friends again. Ariel and her friends play the song about how great Sebastian is again.
