Thanks for reading. Imagine Ariana like she is above, with Ariel's tale but a different bra as it will be like the one above. Without further Ado my story.
Background chorus
I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue
And it's heave to the starboard, heave ho
Look out lad, a mermaid be waiting for you
In the mysterious fathoms below
Form whence wayward westerlies blow
Where Triton is king and his merpeople sing
In the mysterious fathoms below.
A yacht entitled The S. came slicing through the waves.
"You were right Tony, this is just what I needed. Wind in my hair, salt in the sail. Great day to be out at sea." Steve said as he inhaled the salty air.
"Oh yeah, so great." Bruce commented looking a little queasy.
"Told ya so, capsicle. This is your 11 month anniversary of getting out of the ice after all, so we can check yachting in The Manhattan Ocean off the bucket list."
All of a sudden a huge wave crashed onto the deck making a small puddle of water. "Well that happened." Natasha commented.
"Perhaps it's King Triton. On Asgard there are legends of him and his merpeople residing in the Midgard Ocean." Thor said
"King Triton, who's that?" Steve asked
"Well my friend, he's the king of the merpeople. I thought everyone knew that." Thor said confused.
Clint just laughed. "Merpeople, guys don't believe a word this guy says."
"I'm telling you, it's the truth." Thor said as he reached overboard, grabbed a fish from the ocean and threw it at Clint. It slapped him in the face a couple times before diving back into the water.
Background chorus
In the mysterious fathoms below
The fish flew off the boat and dove down as fast as he could. Once he knew he was safe, he left out a sigh of relief. He began to swim deeper past some whales and other ocean life towards a ledge.
Then, suddenly a merman swam over the ledge and more merpeople swam with him into a tunnel. The opening of the tunnel was glowing bright glow.
At the end of a tunnel was the golden city of Atlantica. The merpeople swam to the throne room where a special performance was about to begin.
Merman in gold armor uniforms blew trumpets and a orange seahorse with a pink collar swam up and cleared his throat.
"Presenting his Royal Highness, King Triton!"
Two dolphins swam out pulling a chariot with a merman inside. He had a grey beard, a golden crown, and a golden triton in his hand which was glowing. The seahorse popped up again. "And introducing the Royal Court Composer, Horatio Thelonious Ignacious Crustaceous Sebastian!"
Another, smaller chariot pulled by two fish came out with a small red crab inside. He waved at the people as they applauded.
Sebastian came up next to King Triton with a smile. "I'm really looking forward to this performance, Sebastian." He said with a smile as they continued to go forward in their chariots.
"Oh you flatter me Your Highness. Your daughters will be extraordinary." The crab said.
"Why yes. I'm especially looking forward to Ariel's performance." The king said with a smirk. "Why yes, she has the most beautiful voice." Sebastian said with pride. He then looked down in annoyance. "If only she would commit herself."
He hoped down onto the stage and tapped his conductor stick on his music stand and the music started.
Ah, we are the daughters of Triton,
great father who loves us and named us well
Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Attina, Adella, Alana, and Ariel
In concert we hope to enlighten
the hearts of the merfolk with music's swell
Aquata...
Andrina...
Arista...
Atina...
Adella...
Allana...
And then there is the youngest in her musical debut
Our seventh little sister
we're presenting her to you
to sing a song Sebastian wrote
Her voice is like a bell
She's our sister, Ariel!
When the shell opened Ariel was nowhere to be found and Sebastian froze. Triton's staff glowed a bright gold and his face turned a bright red. "ARIEL!"
In another part of the ocean, Ariel had swam up to a sunken shipwreck. "Ariel, wait for me." a small fish called out to her. "Flounder, hurry up." Ariel called back to him. "You know I can't swim that fast." Flounder painting a little. Eventually he came up next to her.
"There it is. Isn't it fantastic." She said pointing to the wreck. "Yeah...sure...it-it's great. Now let's get outta here." Flounder said panting. "You're not getting cold fins, now are you?" Ariel said smirking at him.
"Who, me? No way. It's just, it, err . . . it looks - damp in there. Yeah. And I think I may be coming down with something. Yeah, I got this cough." Flounder then faked a cough.
"All right. I'm going inside. You can just stay here and - watch for sharks." Ariel said smiling at him. She then began to swim to the shipwreck and Flounder understood the gravity of what she said.
"O.K. Yeah - you go. I'll stay and - what? Sharks! Ariel!" Flounder then swam rapidly towards the porthole his friend had just slipped through but he got stuck in it's frame. "Ariel . . . I can't . . . I mean- Ariel help!" he said struggling.
Ariel then came up to him laughing. "Oh, Flounder." She then grabbed his fins and started pulling him. "Ariel, do you really think there might be sharks around here?" Flounder whispered. "Flounder, don't be such a guppy. " she said looking back at him.
Unbeknownst to them the object of their fear had just passed outside.
"I'm not a guppy." he said as he came out of the porthole. "This is great - I mean, I really love this. Excitement, adventure, danger lurking around every corner- YAAAAHHHHHHHH! Ariel!" Flounder screamed as he saw a skull and crashed into a pillar causing a cave in. He then swam frantically and knocked into Ariel.
"Oh, are you okay?" she asked him concerned. "Yeah sure, no problem, I'm okay . . ." he said. They kept swimming around when Ariel saw a fork. "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Have you ever seen anything so wonderful in your entire life?" she said picking it up.
"Wow, cool! But, err, what is it?"
"I don't know. But I bet Scuttle will." she said as she placed the fork in her bag
A little thud was heard.
"What was that? Did you hear something?" Flounder then looked around. Ariel had found a smoking pipe and was distracted.
"Hmm, I wonder what this one is?"
"Ariel . ." Flounder said trying to get her attention.
She looked at him with skepticism in her eyes. "Flounder, will you relax. Nothing is going to happen."
All of a sudden, a shark broke through a window. "AAHHHH! Run! Run! We're gonna die!" The shark was chasing them all around when Ariel's bag got hung up and she went back for it. The shark almost got them in that moment. They then headed for the porthole. "Oh No!"
They crashed through it and went spinning. Flounder had lost awareness but Ariel swam through a ships iron ring, grabbed him, and trapped the shark in the process.
Flounder swam back up to him and scoffed. "You big bully. THBBBT . . ." The shark then snapped at him and Flounder yipped while swimming away.
Ariel looked back at him, laughing. "Flounder, you really are a guppy."
"I am not." he defended.
On the surface, Scuttle was on his island humming and looking through his telescope. "Scuttle! Ariel called as soon as she broke the surface.
"Whoa! Mermaid off the port bow! Ariel, how you doin' kid?" He shouted looking through the telescope backwards. He then Lowered the telescope and saw Ariel at wing's length. "Whoa, what a swim!" he commented.
"Scuttle - look what we found." Ariel said excitedly as she reached into her bag and pulled out her items. "Yeah - we were in this sunken ship - it was really creepy." Flounder said.
"Human stuff, huh? Hey, lemme see." He then picked up the fork. "Look at this. Wow - this is special - this is very, very unusual."
"What? What is it?" Ariel asked curiously coming closer to him.
"It's a dinglehopper! Humans use these little babies . . . to straighten their hair out. See - just a little twirl here an' a yank there and - voila! You got an aesthetically pleasing configuration of hair that humans go nuts over!" Scuttle explained as he styled his feathers with the fork.
"A dinglehopper!" Ariel repeated mistified. "What about that one?" Flounder asked pointing his fin at the arrow.
Scuttle picked up the arrow. "Ah - this I haven't seen in years. This is wonderful! A pointed, extra long - shootrow."
"Oohhh." Flounder and Ariel gazed at the arrow or in there case a shootrow. "Now, the shootrow dates back to prehistoric times, when humans used to sit around, and stare at each other all day. Got very boring. So, they invented the shootrow to make fine music. Allow me."
He then took a brush from his stash and ran it up and down the bristles hardly until the arrow snapped and an end of it hit scuttle in the head.
Ariel then came to a realization."Music? Oh, the concert! Oh my gosh, my father's gonna kill me!"
Flounder looked up at her in shock. "The concert was today?"
"Uh, I'm sorry, I've gotta go. Thank you Scuttle. " She said waving before diving back under the waves with Flounder. "Anytime sweetie, anytime." Scuttle replied waving. Little did they know that two eels and their boss were watching the conversation and then the pairs swim back to the castle transpire.
"Yes, hurry home, princess. We wouldn't want to miss old daddy's celebration, now, would we?" Ursula said back in her cave.
"Huh! Celebration indeed. Bah! In MY day, we had fantastical feasts when I lived in the palace. And now, look at me - wasted away to practically nothing - banished and exiled and practically starving, while he and his flimsy fish-folk celebrate. Well, I'll give 'em something to celebrate soon enough. Flotsam! Jetsam! I want you to keep an extra close watch on this pretty little daughter of his. She may be the key to not only Triton's undoing, but the hero's of land, The Avengers to. When you think about it, why only rule the sea when I can rule the land...also."
First chapter finished! Comment please but know flames and why do you think I changed the Smoking Pipe or snarfblat out for a shootrow or "Arrow." Also give me ideas for future chapters.
