The Little Ragdoll

Chapter 1

Bruce Banner after opening a black book: It all started when a ship full of sailors journeyed through the sea...

Seaguils cawed as they flew through the sky while down below a large ship was journeying through the waters on it's way back home while dolphins splashed as the swam through the water.

On the ship was Prince Fiore and his loyal butler Adam.

Sailors on the ship: I'll tell you a tale

of the bottomless blue

And it's, hey

to the starboard, heave-ho,

Look out, lad

a mermaid be waiting for you

In mysterious fathoms below

"Isn't this great? The salty sea air, the wind blowing in your face." Prince Fiore asked as Zero barked.

"A perfect day to be at sea." Prince Fiore told his faithful butler Adam who was hanging over the edge of the ship as he got sea sick.

"Oh, yes, delightful." sighed Adam before he once again got sea sick.

" A fine strong wind and a following sea. King Jack must be in a friendly type mood." one of the sailors told Prince Fiore causing him to look curiously at the sailor. "King Jack?" Prince Fiore asked curiously.

"Ruler of the Merpeople, lad. Thought every good sailor knew about him." another sailor told Prince Fiore as he threw fish out of a net.

"Humf, Merpeople. Fiore, pay no attention to this nautical nonsense." Adam told his charge as he walked down the ship's stairs and down to the bottom floor where Fiore was playing with Zero.

"But it ain't nonsense. It's the truth." the 2nd sailor told Adam as he waved a fish at him.

"I'm tellin' ya! Down in the depths of the ocean they live! Oh!" the 2nd sailor told Adam causing the butler to back up into the railing as the sailor waved the fish causing him to accidently let go of the fish who then hit Adam in the face and then went back into the water.

Sailors: In mysterious fathoms below

+Under the sea+

The little fish then breathed a sigh of relef and then swam deeper into the water, deeper then no human as ever gone before where all kinds of fish, mermaids and mermen were swimming to a shining black kingdom called Halloween Town where a wonderful concert was going to take place.

+Concert Hall, Royal Palace+

In the concert hall, merfolk and sea creatures took their seats as seahorses began to play their noses like trumpets just as a little seahorse swam up to the other seahorses.

"His Royal Highness, King Jack!" annouced the herald as King Jack rode into the room on a black shell that was being pulled by skellington dolphins causing everyone to cheer.

"And presenting the distinguished court composer, Clover!" annouced the herald as a little orange crab rode into the room on an orange shell that was being pulled by skellington goldfish.

"Whoa!" said Clover as she guided the goldfish over to King Jack.

"I'm really looking forward to this performance, Clover." King Jack told his friend.

"Your Majesty! This will be the finest concert I have ever conducted." Clover told King Jack as the king let go of the dolphin's regins causing his shell to land on a balcony.

"Your daughters, they will be spectacular!" Clover then told the king.

"Yes and especially my little Kath." King Jack told Clover.

"Yes. yes. She has the most beautiful voice. Hmm?" Clover told the king and then guided the goldfish to a podium.

"If only she'd show up for rehearsals once in a while." Clover told her self as the band began to tune up just as she reached the podium.

Clover then got out of her shell and then got her music sheets out of the shell and placed them on the podium.

Clover then floated above the podium and tapped her baton on the podium causing music to begin to play as bubble curtains opened causing three giant clams to rise from the stage.

King Jack's other daughters as the clams opened one by one: Ah, we are the daughters of Jack

Great father who loves us

and named us well

A mermaid in dark blue as she swam out of her clam: Bertha!

A mermaid in dark pink and light pink as she swam out of the clam: Ginger!

A mermaid in black and dark purple as she swam out of the clam: Lydia!

A mermaid in black and brown as she swam out of the clam: Shock!

A mermaid in black and white as she swam out of the clam: Betty!

A mermaid in dark red as she swam out of the clam: Prudence!

Bertha, Ginger, Lydia, Shock, Betty and Prudence as a giant clam rose up behind the other clams: And then there is the

youngest in her musical debut

King Jack's other daughters as they swam around the clam: Our seventh little sister

We're presenting her to you

To sing a song Clover wrote

Her voice is like a bell

King Jack's other daughters as the clam slowly opened: She's our sister Ka..

Clover and the mersisters then gasped in shock as the clam opened revealing nothing.

"Kath!" yelled King Jack angerly.

+With Kath+

Meanwhile a pretty little mermaid with red hair, white skin and green eyes in black and orange, swam through a skunken ship looking for something new.

"Kath, wait for me." yelled a little fish named Vince as he tried to catch up with his friend who rolled her eyes.

"Vince, hurry up." Kath yelled out at her friend.

"You know I can't swim that fast." a little black and green fish told Kath as he swam over to her.

"There it is." Kath happily told her friend as she pointed at a large ship.

"Isn't it fantastic?" Kath asked.

"Yeah, sure. It's great. Now let's get outta here." Vince told Kath.

"Oh! You're not getting cold fins now, are you?" Kath sighed and then asked her friend who tried to swim off causing Kath to grab his tail and then swim closer to the ship.

"Who, me? No way. It's just... It, uh... It looks damp in there. Yeah. And I think I may be coming dowm with something." Vince told his friend as he tried to think up an excuse to get them to leave the weakage.

"Yeah, I got this cough." Vince told his friend as he pretended to cough.

"All right. I'm going inside. You can just stay here and watch for sharks." Kath whispered to her friend.

"Ok." Vince whispered back as Kath swam into the ship. "Yeah, you go. I'll stay and..." Vince whispered to himself causing his eye's to widen in shock.

"What? Sharks? Kath!" yelled Vince as he swam into a port hole and ended up getting stuck.

"Kath, I can't... I mean... Kath, help!" yelled Vince causing Kath to turn around and then swim over to her friend.

"Oh, Vince." laughed Kath.

"Kath." whispered Vince causing Kath to free him.

"Do you really think there might be sharks around here?" Vince whispered nervously.

"Vince, don't be such a guppy." Kath told her friend.

"I'm not a guppy." grunted Vince as a shark swam behind him.

"This is great. I mean, I really love this. Excitement, adventure, danger lurking around every corner..." Vince told his friend nervously until he came across some old bones.

"Kath!" yelled Vince in fright as he hit a support beam causing some of the ship to fall.

"Oh, are you okay?" Kath asked the poor frighten fish worringly after he slamed right into her.

"Yeah, sure. No problem. I'm ok." said the shaking fish.

"Shh!" Kath told her friend as she swam up through the wreakage and then noticed something.

"Oh, my gosh, Oh, my gosh! Have you ever seen anything so wonderful in your entire life?" Kath asked her friend as she swam over to a strange thing.
