Yes! It is finally here! Thank you to those who voted. :) The story will be kinda like the movie, but I might change some parts to make it shorter/more interesting. I hope you don't hurt me if I made a character one who would seem to have been someone else (ex. Atobe as Scuttle), if that made sense…Anyway, here is part 1!

--

The stage was set, the audience seated, and the orchestra ready. This was going to be Gakuto's greatest masterpiece yet. As he scuttled to his music stand, he looked up to see King Atobe arriving in his dolphin pulled chariot. Gakuto had composed this musical at King Atobe's request. He had wanted it to be a time when he could show off his child's amazing singing voice. He also thought it would good to show off some of his child's friends, so the ocean could see he was full of good will.

Anyway, the lights were dimmed and Gakuto tapped his director's baton on the stand. With a nod from the king, he began the musical. The curtain rose to the sound of cheerful music. The stage revealed 4 giant clam shells- 3 below one that was elevated higher than the others.

The first clam shell of the 3 opened to show two mermaids, I mean mermen, who both had caps, the second showed two mermen with blonde hair, and the third had two with glasses.

They began to dance and sing about how great King Atobe was for letting them sing, and how he cared for them along with his own child. Gakuto smiled knowing the king must be happy with his lyrics. Then came the big moment in the song where they each sang their name, all leading up to the last clam showing the king's child.

"I'm Ryoma."

"I'm Sanada."

"I'm Rin."

"I'm Tachibana."

"I'm Hiroshi."

"I'm Inui."

-Singing together- "And then there is the youngest in his musical debut. Our silent little friend, now we're presenting him to you. To sing a song Gakuto wrote; his voice is like a bell."

King Atobe smiled; he had waited for this moment.

"He's our dear friend…"

-Insert Huge Gasp Here-

The whole audience gasped at the sight on stage. The last clam shell opened, but no one was inside! Gakuto screamed; the king was going to kill him!

King Atobe was in rage.

"CHOUTAROU!!" he yelled.

Somewhere Away from the Musical

A young merman with silver hair was swimming through the ocean. He hummed to himself as he looked for various treasures that had fallen from the human world above. It was his dream to one day visit it. Behind him his good friend Jirou swam in a dream like state. He was an unusual fish, for he slept without having to swim (which fish can't/don't do), and he was always asleep. That was probably why Choutarou picked him as a friend; he could talk to him about anything or share is secrets and he wouldn't remember since he was asleep!

"Nnn…Choutarou I'm sleepy…can't we go?"

"No, not yet! The ship is around here somewhere."

Soon they came to an old sunken ship. Choutarou loved looking at the remains of what used to float above him; how they carried humans and their belongings.

"Sweet!!" Jirou squealed. He was fully awake now that something had caught his attention.

They swam into the ship and looked around. Choutarou was very happy; he saw so many amazing things onboard. He picked up a fork and twirled it in front of him.

"Wow! I wonder what this is used for?"

Jirou had found something shiny near a huge window on the back of the ship. As he was admiring it for its shiny beauty, all of a sudden a shark broke through the glass.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!!" he screamed swimming away.

Choutarou looked up to see both Jirou and a shark swimming towards him. He sighed; there were too many sharks in the areas he liked to explore in. Grabbing Jirou, he swam as fast as he could around the ship. Eventually the shark got stuck on some part of the ship and left them to get away.

Choutarou swam towards to surface of the sea and poked his head out. The coast was clear. He swam over to a nearby rock where his seagull friend lived. He knew everything about the human world since he spent so much time on it.

"Long time no see!" Choutarou yelled.

"Well if it isn't little Jirou and Choutarou!"

"I brought something new today," he exclaimed holding up the fork.

"Oooooo…lucky!"

Sengoku the seagull took it from Choutarou's hand and examined it.

"Do you know what it is?" Choutarou asked.

"Yup! It's a hair straightening device! How lucky!" Sengoku said, running the fork through his feathers.

"Awesome!" Jirou added.

"Hmmm…my hair's too short to use it…" Choutarou said disappointed.

Sengoku picked up a pipe Choutarou had found.

"And this here's a snuugle horn! You blow through this part and it makes noise!" Sengoku demonstrated blowing into it. "It's great for music and concerts…"

"AHH! The concert!" Choutarou cut him off. "Ugg I forgot that was today!!"

"It was?" Jirou asked.

"I'm sorry Sengoku, but I have to go! Daddy's gunna kill me!!" Choutarou quickly packed up his treasures and swam as fast as he could back to the palace.

Well that was the beginning. I would have added more, but I wouldn't have been able to stop. XD But I'll add the second part really soon! Hope you enjoyed this chapter!

Oh, in case you've never seen the Little Mermaid, Gakuto is supposed to be a crab (Sebastian). I didn't know what else to make him…
