==Plot==
Ariel and Flounder are heading to Lucia and Fernie when they come across a smell. Flounder recognizes it, and Ariel notices it is oodles of kelp noodles, made by King Triton. Flounder states that today is daddy-daughter dinner night, and tonight is Ariel's turn for her favorite meal for dinner. They also get to spend daddy-daughter time together. King Triton thanks Ariel for the wiffle waff as the land treasure. Ariel and Flounder go to get Lucia and Fernie to play with them until dinner's ready, but they won't go too far, as they don't want to miss daddy-daughter dinner night.
Ariel and Flounder agree that the kelp noodles will taste awesome, and Flounder can't wait for his turn. Ariel and Flounder then meet up with Fernie and Lucia, who tell them that they saw an old shipwreck filled with land treasures. It is located at the Soca Sands, which is far away. Ariel decides for them to go, although Flounder is against it and she can't miss the dinner.
They then play around the shipwreck, and Flounder mentions dinner almost being finished. Ariel decides for the others to head home. However, Ariel sees a hole in the fish, and although she wants to return home with the others, she can't resist seeing the human treasures inside. So, Lucia and Fernie decide to take a peek for her. They soon see human stuff everywhere, and Ariel and Flounder join in. They are impressed by the different things they see. Later, Ariel and Flounder decide for everyone to head back to the palace.
However, Ariel sees a treasure chest she thinks is full of human treasures. However, when she tries to open it, the shipwreck tips, trapping her inside. Lucia, Fernie, and Flounder can't open its windows, and Ariel won't get home in time for dinner. She apologizes for messing up and chasing what shimmers. Ariel sings about her father meaning more to her than any land treasure. Fernie opens the window so Ariel and the others can return home.
They then see King Triton alone at the table, and Ariel goes to him and brings him another whiffle waff. Ariel apologizes for missing the dinner, and mentions everything that happened. Triton accepts the apology, and understands how important collecting treasures is to Ariel, but nothing is more important than Ariel's time with her family, which she understands now. Besides, Ariel's greatest treasure in the whole ocean is Triton. He then gives Ariel and Flounder kelp noodles for them to eat. During this, Ariel and Flounder explain the shipwreck to Triton.
