Role in series
"Welcome to the Bikini Bottom Triangle"
The mermaids are first seen stealing in Bikini Bottom from their singing. Their reason for stealing the objects is so they can find something "cool" to wear. Template:Data:Links is revealed to have a crush on the mermaids but they are somewhat confused seeing Patrick when he wants to hang out with them.
Later on, they reject him by throwing him onto Template:Data:Links for annoying them. They are then confused by Template:Data:Links's rants of wanting to go to the mall and asks her what a mall is before getting excited over her explanation of it. They then decide to go with her to see it for themselves and sing their song backwards, after Template:Data:Links suggests it. Doing so returns the enormous pile of the stolen objects back to Bikini Bottom.
Once the items are back, they become friends with Pearl and go to the mall with her.
