What Is This Feeling?

Summary: Due to Noelle's abduction, Karen and Lina have never exactly been two peas in a pod. In fact, it's even appropriate to say they hate each other. And what's a better way to express those feelings than through a song from the hit Broadway musical Wicked?

A/N: I feel bad for not posting any new stories for nearly a year. So here's a short little songfic-ish type thing. I didn't exactly put my entire heart and soul into this particular fanfic, in fact you can even say I just basically slapped it down, but nevertheless... no flames! And yes, even though Karen did act a whole lot like Elphaba during the first season, Lina is probably the farthest thing away from Galinda. Ever. So we'll have to do a little improv on Lina's part.

For those of you who haven't seen Wicked... oh go ahead, read it anyway!

Disclaimer: I don't own Mermaid Melody or Wicked. But if I did own either... or both... mmmmm... mooooooooo-laaahhh...!

Lina: (spoken) Dearest King and Queen of the Northern Atlantic Ocean...

Karen: (spoken) My dear father...

BOTH: There's been some confusion over a cruel abduction...

Karen: (spoken) But of course, I'll get to the bottom of it.

Lina: But of course, I'll rise above it...!

BOTH: For I know that's how you'd want me to respond. Yes, there's been some confusion. For you see, the person I'm mad at is...

Lina: Unusually and exceedingly peculiar, and altogether quite impossible to describe...

Karen: (spoken) Responsible for the abduction.

Lina: What is this feeling, so sudden and new?

Karen: I felt it the moment I laid eyes on you!

Lina: My pulse is rushing...

Karen: My head is reeling...

Lina: My face is flushing!

BOTH: Oh, what is this feeling? Fervid as a flame... Does it have a name...? Yes...! Loathing. Unadulterated loathing.

Lina: For your face.

Karen: Your voice.

Lina: Your clothing!

BOTH: Let's just say... I loathe it all! Ev'ry little trait, however small, makes my very flesh begin to crawl. With simple utter loathing, there's a strange exhilaration! In such total detestation! It's so pure and strong! Though I do admit it came on fast, Still I do believe that it can last. And I will be loathing, loathing you my whole... life... long!

Luchia and Hanon: Dearest Lina, you are just too good! How do you stand it, I don't think I could! She's a terror, she's a Tartar! We don't mean to show a bias, but Lina, you're a martyr!

Lina: Well, these things are sent to try us!

Luchia and Hanon: Oh, poor Lina, forced to vocalize, with someone so undignified! We both just want to tell you, we're on your side! We share your...

Lina and Karen, Luchia and Hanon:
What is this feeling Loathing
So sudden and new? Unadulterated loathing
I felt the moment For her face, her voice
I laid eyes on you Her clothing
My pulse is rushing Let's just say...
My head is reeling We loathe it all!
Oh, what is this feeling? Ev'ry little trait
Does it have a name? Makes our very flesh
Yes! Begin to crawl.
Ahhh... Ahhh...

ALL: Loathing!

Lina and Karen, Luchia and Hanon:
There's a strange exhilaration Loathing
In such total detestation Loathing
So pure, so strong...! Loathing

Luchia and Hanon: So strong!

Lina and Karen: Though I do admit it came on fast, still I do believe that it can last!

Lina and Karen, Luchia and Hanon:
And I will be loathing... Loathing
For forever loathing... Loathing
Truly deeply loathing... Loathing
you my whole... Loathing
life... long! Unadulterated loathing!

Karen: Boo!

Lina: Shut up...
