"La Sirenusca" is the first segment of the thirteenth episode of Ariel. It premiered on September 30, 2024 alongside "Substitute Sebastian".
==Plot==
Lucia tells Ariel, Fernie, and Flounder a spooky story about a fish monster called La Sirenusca, who has a mermaid tail, octopus tentacles, and two shark fins. She also likes to snack on little blue and yellow morsels. Flounder notices that he is like a morsel, but Lucia states that it is not real. Ariel states that some stories are real and pretend. However, Flounder decides to hide, and tells Ariel that he was just making sure Lil Wally wasn't scared. Ariel decides for her, Fernie, and Lucia to stop telling stories for today and check out her land treasures in the Crystal Cavern. However, Flounder decides to go to the kitchen for snacks.
Eventually, Flounder sees a shadow of La Sirenusca and drops his snacks before heading to Ariel to tell her that the creature is real. Ariel is showing Fernie and Lucia her land treasures when Flounder tells her what happened regarding La Sirenusca. However, Fernie and Lucia recap that the story is pretend. Ariel decides for them to go to the open market and see if anyone else has seen the creature.
In the market, Fernie tells the others that nothing fishy has been going on around. Ariel decides for them to grab a juice at Ravi's, and Flounder decides to tell him if he's seen the monster. Fernie and Lucia decide to figure it out, and Ariel follows them to Flounder and Ravi. Flounder is then provided juice while asking Ravi if he saw a sea monster. Ravi states that the story is pretend. Flounder states that if the creature was real, someone would have seen her by now. Just then, its shadow arrives. Ariel is against it, but Fernie and Lucia state that they did see it. Ariel tells them that they only saw the shadow, and they decide to search of whatever they all think they saw, although La Sirenusca is pretend. Flounder will stay in the market, but decides to go along in case the creature tries to do something to his friends.
Ariel, Fernie, and Lucia sing about the story of La Sirenusca being pretend. Flounder then joins in, and he and Ariel find its shadow, followed by Fernie and Lucia, who track it to the Apothecary. They then go there to make sure if Ursula, who was assumed to be a target of La Sirenusca, is okay. After some searching, Ariel tells Lucia for a trapping spell, and Lucia recites it on the creature, but when they get a look at it, it is revealed to be Ursula pretending to be the creature. Ursula recaps that the story is pretend. Ariel and Flounder recap what they saw, and Ariel notices that Ursula has the same features of La Sirenusca.
Ariel notices that Ursula and her overcoat was making the shadow the whole time. Fernie and Lucia finally notice it, and Flounder states that it makes sense. Ursula is glad everyone solved the mystery of La Sirenusca. Everyone then eats plantains for their snack.
