It was a bright sunny day and there was no finer day to be at sea for the waves were calm and the swells were almost nonexistent. A ship sailed through the seas with long masts and large white sails being pushed by the wind. The sailors aboard the ship walked about the deck doing their duties, carrying crates or barrels or helping to navigate. One in particular with long gold hair, adorning silver armor walked across the deck and leaned up on the bulkhead to look out at the calm seas. He closed his eyes peacefully as the wind blew through his hair.

"John" a voice called out from behind to get his attention and he turned around to see who it was.

"Thomas" John smiled "what is it?"

"Nothing, it's just.. I was wondering what you were doing"

John then turned back around to look out into the sea "Just looking out into the sea"

"I didn't know you had watch now" Thomas said as he walked over to John's right side

"I don't." John admitted "But everything's just so calm and clear right now. It's hard to try and not take it all in"

"A strong wind and a light seas" Lon said as he came to John's left side and smacked him on the back "King Triton's probably in a good mood" he said as Ben came over to them

"I can't imagine why?" John said sarcastically as he looked at the lookout's station aloft.

"And what's going on here?" a voice called from behind them. The four men turned around to see another man looking them down with a raised brow.

"That's a good question" John said standing back up straight "Come on men, we've got work to do" he said clapping his hands as Ben, Lon and Thomas ran off. John then turned to the man before him "That means you too prince" he said walking up to him.

"You know" Eric pondered as he rubbed his chin "I don't think princes have to take orders from captains" he smiled slyly

"Well on this ship they do" John responded with his own sly smile

"Eric! Eric!" another voice called out. They both turned to see Grimsby caught in-between many of the sailors as they walked by. He ducked under Ben and Lon who were moving a large plank and then jumped back as Thomas rolled a barrel by. Amongst all the coordination he tripped over himself but Eric and John were there to catch him.

"Easy there Grim" Eric laughed as he helped him up "What seems to be the problem"

"Not a thing sir" Grimsby said brushing himself off "Just a strange feeling dwelling inside me"

"Sounds like you're a little seasick" John said "Come on let's get you over the side so we don't have a mess" he said as he headed Grim towards the side of the ship and he held his head over "Well he's certainly a fine edition to the crew" John said with his arms crossed as he turned to Eric

"Yeah well –"Eric was cut off as someone else called to them frantically

"John!" Thomas called "The sails have come undone!" he pointed up. John and Eric looked up above them to see that one of the sails shot open and unleashed itself into the wind.

"What should we do?!" Thomas cried out as the sail flailed in the wind.

"Helmsman steady on your course!" John called "The seas calm so this shouldn't be too much of a problem. All we have to do is tie that sail back up. But how did it come undone?" he asked as he and Eric turned to each other.

"Incoming!" a voice called out. Everyone then snapped their heads up as one of the lines from high up on the mast swung out and around the ship and it was visibly clear that someone was holding onto it.

"Here she comes! Look out!" the crew members shouted out "Stop her grab her!" others yelled concerned. They all made attempts to grab it but the rope and the person on it as it swung past all of them but they barley missed it. Ben and Lon knocked into each other and Thomas tripped as the rope and the person on it swung passed them.

"I got her!" Eric said as he jumped up grabbed the rope halting its advance. Eric and everyone else let out a relieved sigh while the woman on the rope just giggled and fell into Eric's arms.

"Eric!" Ariel said cheerfully as she fell into his arms "Did you see me?"

"Yes, yes I saw you, the whole ship saw you. What were you thinking? You could've been hurt" " Eric said as he walked off still holding onto her.

"Well" John said running his hand through his hair as Eric walked off with Ariel "That ended well, but now where is-

"John" a woman's face came upside down in front of John

"Pocahontas" he said her name aloud before she flipped around and stood before him "What were you doing up there?"

"Getting a better look" John let out a chuckle

"And we thought having Tarzan on here was a handful"

"So Ariel and I were talking" Pocahontas began to tell him as they walked off together and John put his arm around her.

"Really? I thought you were swinging from the mast" he said sarcastically "About what?" he asked as they ascended the stairs towards the helm.

"She was telling me all about how her father was meeting with the Atlantians again"

"Well I'd imagine they'd have a lot to talk about" John said as they walked past the helm and towards the back of the ship where Eric and Ariel were standing and looking out into the sea. John and Pocahontas walked up to stand next to them. Ariel turned over to see it was them and her smile grew wider as they all turned out to sea and looked together.

"I can't believe you're father really own all this" Pocahontas said to Ariel as they looked down at the water.

"Well he is the king of the seas" Ariel smiled

"Just don't go to Mt. Olympus and tell Poseidon that" Eric said "You can never tell what'll happen when those two get together"

"Still" John chimed in "You had a pretty care free life down there. Music, celebrations, I can't imagine any good reasons to give that up" he said looking at Eric who held Ariel's hand "but I can't think of any bad ones either" John winked as Pocahontas wrapped her arms around him "After all the worst thing at sea you have to worry about is-"

"Ship! two points off the port bow!" the lookout in the crow's nest. Everyone snapped their heads around to look and on the deck below everyone was in a commotion about it.

"John! Eric!" Thomas shouted as he ran up to meet them "a ship's been spotted!"

"Calm down Thomas, what's the problem?" Eric asked

"There's a ship out there sir" Thomas panted

"So what's wrong with that?"

"She's got black sails" Thomas told them.
