So I decided, against the other three hundred people doing this, to write a little mermaid fanfic. As of right now, I'm thinking about making this a one-shot, but if you people want me to continue, I shall! But I've been in a Disney-licious mood lately, most because I'M GOING! : D! yay! And also, who DOESN'T like the Princess movies? I mean, really? Come on now, you can't hide it! *evil laugh for good measure* Without further ado, cue the sisters, start the plot, let the story commence! Reviews are always a delight, as always. Show your writers that you care!

I'm breaking my back

Just to know your name

Seventeen tracks

And I've had it with this game

-Somebody Told Me

The Killers

The day had just begun. The sea was peaceful and calm, and in Triton's palace, seven daughters slept, blankets tucked around shoulders, stomachs rising and falling with the tide. Their heads were buried into their seaweed and algae pillows, and Aquata had a little stuffed seahorse hugged to her left cheek. Like clockwork, Attina sat up in her bed, and began to sing.

Well Good Morning!

Good morning!

It's finally time to get up!

The other sisters began to wake:

Aquata! That's my name, and I'll say it with pride!

Attina! That's my name, and I'll try not to chide!

Artista! That's my name, and one day I'll be famous!

Andrina! That's my name, and I'm marrying Seamus! [swoon]

Adella! That's my name, and I love all my sisters!

Alana! That's my name, and I love all the misters!

And our youngest baby sister, we introduce with joy!

Her name is…

Ariel's six sisters sat up in their beds, singing their morning song. This is how they liked to wake up, singing and doing very, very carefully choreographed tail swirled and shoulder shakes. They belted out their tunes and batted their eyelashes.

All this stopped, when they turned to look at their baby sister, who was sleeping. Still. The cleared their throat and looked at her. Once again, she ruined their perfectly prearranged plans. It was very frustrating! They weren't sure if she was frustrated with a small part, or couldn't remember when to in. Sadly, they were beginning to realize that Ariel just didn't care. Attina swum over and shook her baby sister's shoulder.

"Mmmm…go away…"Ariel mumbled and turned over, clutching her pillow.

"Oh, no! Ariel, you wake up! Now!" Attina said.

"Ariel…" Artista whined. "You ruined our song…again."

"What time is it?" Ariel mumbled, ignoring Artista. The little redhead looked out the window. Once she spotted the sunlight beams shining down, she jumped out of bed and swam out of the room and down, down, out of the palace.

"If she forgets my engagement ball…" Andrina said. "I do something to her. I don't know what I'll do, but something."

"Don't worry Andrina!" Alana chirped. "Ariel may be forgetful, but that's just rude. As if you haven't reminded her hundreds of times!"

"Alana, that girl could forget something nailed to her forehead." Andrina shook her head and swam off to the bathroom.

The next twelve hours would be prep. The ball was scheduled for six, and Andrina had to make sure no one would ever, ever forget this night.

…

One thing Seamus would never understand is Andrina's complete and total devotion to keeping him sheltered from her littlest sister. Hundreds of times, he had met her father, her other five sisters, but never….Annie? Andrea? Abby? He couldn't even remember her name!

Did she doubt that he really loved her? Or worse, was there something wrong with her sister? Did she have a mental disorder or freaky behavior? Seamus tried to believe this for the longest time, but he felt that Andrina would have explained everything, had it been as simple as that. This was not an all-encompassing problem, he was still able to function as normal, and Andrina did not notice anything different. Which was good, for she did have quite a tendency to nag.

It was only two hours until the engagement ball, and Seamus was nervous beyond belief. At first he thought it was just usual jitters, but then he began to wonder, what if it wasn't? What if he wasn't ready to get married? What if Andrina just wasn't the one? These thoughts naturally spun him into worse and worse confusion.

Eventually he realized he just had to go for a swim. He grabbed a time-keeper so he wouldn't be late to the ball and headed out of his house, hoping with each swimming stroke that his heart wouldn't give out later.

…

"See Flounder, I told you we hadn't seen this one before!" Ariel sighed. She did a flip and rested on the floorboards of the Mercury King.

"Did you hear something?" Flounder asked, freezing in place, eyes going wide. "Wh-wh-what if it's a shark? Just like last time?"

"Oh Flounder, you're such a guppy! What are the odds of that happening again?" Ariel sighed.

There was a bump underneath the floorboards and the two heard a muffled "ouch!" Flounder swam into Ariel's arms and Ariel began to look around for a way out.

"Ariel! There's someone here!" Flounder whispered.

"Shh…I know, I know! How do we get out? The exit is down there!" Ariel panicked, swiveling her head around.

The two friends tried to peek around the stairs, trying to see if it was friend or foe. They were praying for a friend, but the outlook was not so good. Ariel swam forward tentatively, Flounder just hid behind her. Ariel's heart was pounding, she jumped at every shadow. She felt something-somefish- behind her. Her heart sped up, she felt as if she was going to cry. She took a few deep breaths, turned around, and screamed.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? Oh my gosh!" the merman asked her.

"Me? What are YOU doing here? You nearly scared me out of my wits!" Ariel yelled: her fear replaced with anger. "Explain yourself!"

"Ok, ok!" the merman said. He pushed back his wavy black hair and looked up. He had green eyes. Ariel didn't notice. "Well I'm getting married, to-to Princess Andrina, and-"

"Wait, wait!" Ariel said, holding up a hand. "You're marrying my sister? You're Seamus, aren't you?"

"Oh my God! You must be Ariel!" Seamus grabbed her hands, but instantly dropped them. His hands felt…different when he held hers. He settled for looking into her eyes. Her gorgeous, big blue eyes. No, he had to stop thinking like this!

"Yes, I am! I've- I've never met you before!"

"I know!" Seamus proclaimed, feeling happier than ever before. "I can't believe I've met you!"

By chance, Seamus took a peek at his time-keeper, at saw that he was already late for his own engagement ball! "Oh gosh, I have to go! It's time for the – the engagement ball!"

"Oh no!" Ariel slapped a hand to her forehead. "The engagement ball! My father's gonna kill me!" She swam out of the ship, with Flounder tagging along, leaving Seamus floating there.

…

Andrina was swimming back and forth outside a seaweed curtain, her eyes filled with tears.

"Oh, where is he? I'll KILL him!" she whined.

"Don't worry! I'm sure he'll be here just before your entrance!" Alana reassured her, laying a hand on her sister's shoulder. "He's probably just trying to look the best he can for you!"

"I'm here! So sorry!" Seamus cried, swimming into the room.

"Where the hell were you?" Andrina demanded. "If I had to go out there by myself, I would never be able to show my face in public again! How could you do this to me?" Andrina shoved him against the wall.

"Andrina! Calm down!" Seamus grabbed her hands and looked into her eyes. They were brown, unlike Ariel's…

Andrina's breathing began to slow down as she began to regain control of herself. "Let's go!"

The two merpeople entered through the curtain and descended to the podium.

Andrina smiled and began, "people of Atlantica! It is my great pleasure to announce my engagement to Seamus AlGee! Seamus, forever I will love you and stand by your side. I will never not take great joy to be by your side, to be your wife."

Seamus did not even look at her the entire time she was saying this. He scanned the crowd, until he finally saw Ariel sneak in through the back door. His breath caught in his chest as he saw her in a flowing purple top, with her hair pulled back with pearls.

"Andrina." He turned to her, the realization finally reaching him. "I cannot marry you. I am sorry."

He swam off the balcony, into the back where Ariel stood. Ariel's eyes grew big and she swam away. Andrina looked off, realizing her worst fear had indeed come true.
