This idea was floating in my head pretty much since 358/2 Days came out. I recently did a playthrough of the game, and remembered that the only thing that I didn't like about it was that only characters named Roxas get a backstory. Ah, well. This is just something I liked to think about. I know other people have thought of this, but this is my take on it. I hope somebody likes it, despite how short it's going to be(like nine chapters at most). I just have a feeling some game is going to come out, and RUIN this fanfic, but I DON'T CARE. I've already written this thing out, except the ending. Anyway, sorry for the longish A/N, hope you enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Kingdom Hearts OR The Little Mermaid! They belong to Square-Enix and Disney. I just own my own thoughts.

The palace was quickly filling up as the citizens of Atlantica swam to find spots. Myde floated inside a nearby cave, waiting for the concert to start. He was a little bit nervous, playing in front of so many people. It wasn't even his decision to open for the main act. It was all her idea. He grasped the strap that held his sitar tightly, waiting for his cue. The place was full, with merfolk and all sorts of other creatures that resided in the sea. A servant announced the arrival of King Triton. The room echoed with cheers and clapping as he road in with his most loyal servant, Sebastian.

Myde released the strap to his sitar, to clap as the king appeared. Sebastian took his place in front of the band, and looked over to where Myde was. He waved his claw at him, motioning him to take the stage. Myde swallowed his stomach back in place and swam slowly, taking the spot in front of Sebastian.

"You're gonna do fine," he encouraged. Myde inhaled as he flipped the sitar into playing position.

"Before we start the main act," Triton bellowed to the audience, "we'll open with a song from Myde. For those unaware, he is a very good friend of my youngest daughter."

The audience applauded as Myde looked on to them. He exhaled, and looked up at the king, who gave him a reassuring smile. Myde smirked and bowed at him, implying thanks.

"Whenever you're ready, Myde," Triton stated.

Myde nodded and began strumming the strings of his sitar with his shaky fingers. A bit slow at first, but they sped up, as his left hand rushed up and down the neck of his instrument. His eyes were shut, until he opened them to improvise a dance. Bubbles flew up from his tail as he swayed back and forth, gently. Eventually, he began doing a few flips and corkscrews, still playing his melody with grace.

Myde loved the sitar. He loved music, and he loved to write music. When he first got the sitar, he practiced nonstop. It was something he always kept with him, strapped to his back. He just loved the sound it made, and the feeling was amplified when it was accompanied with her voice.

Myde ended the song, and took in another deep breath. The audience roared with excitement, to which he smiled to. He looked to Sebastian who was nodding his head and smiling, and even Triton was clapping. Myde took a deep bow to the audience and swam off the stage. Now it was time for the main act. Myde chose a place where he knew he could have a great view.

Sebastian now held a conductor's wand and held it up, signaling that the band would be playing soon. When the music started, the daughters of Triton began singing and dancing to the tune. The flipping and spinning caused bubbles to fly everywhere. One, two, three, four, five, six... She had yet to appear. Myde closed his eyes, ready to have her voice grace his ears...but instead, there were gasps from all of the girls. The audience were stunned and the band stopped playing. Myde dropped his jaw in shock.

'She forgot?' Myde wasn't sure how she'd forget a day like this, but he had an idea of where she was. As he swam away, he heard the booming voice of the king.

"Ariel!"

Myde swam up high enough to where he could see the sky out of the water. It was higher than he really cared to swim, but he knew she'd be here. He floated on his back, flipping his tail up and down, scanning his eyes along the surface of the water for any trace of her. After swimming for some minutes, he found her aqua green tail poking below the surface, and her red hair floating on top of the water. Myde swam up, and grabbed her by the fins, pulling her under the water.

"I thought I'd find you here, Ariel," Myde smirked at her.

"Myde!" Ariel exclaimed in surprise. "I wasn't—I mean.."

"Yeah, yeah," he said to her. "Ariel, you know you shouldn't come up here. It's dangerous! You coulda been seen!"

"Oh, don't scold me, Myde. You sound like my father," she blurted. "Besides, there's no one out here but me."

"Ugh, fine," Myde sighed. "What were you even doin' up here, anyways?"

"Treasure hunting, of course!" she said excitedly, holding out a bag. "Wanna see?"

Myde shrugged, and reached inside the bag. There wasn't much inside, so he felt around.

"Ouch!" he yelped, pulling out a small, silver thing that almost resembled the Trident. "It's just human junk, Ariel. I don't know what you see in this stuff." He dropped the painful object back in the bag.

"Well, I think it's interesting," she admitted. "I think the entire surface world is just fascinating!"

"Wow, when'd you become so morbid?" Myde joked. "They eat fish and I've heard that some even kill each other! Does that sound very fascinating to you?"

"Well, no. But it can't be all bad," she said. "Be honest, have you ever wondered was it was like to walk on land?"

"Well," Myde sighed in defeat. He knew he couldn't lie to her, "yeah, I have. I will admit, despite the stories I've heard, I'd like to see what it's like up there. Even if it's just for a day."

"Ha ha! I knew it," she said, a huge grin spreading on her face. "Then do you want to come treasure hunting with me tomorrow? It'll be fun, I promise!"

"Uh, well," Myde thought for a moment, "it..couldn't hurt, I guess.."

"Alright!" Ariel said, swimming to wrap her friend in her arms.

"Yeah," he muttered wrapping an arm around her, "tomorrow, we don't have any plans." He emphasized. Ariel pulled away from him, eying her friend, until her eyes shot wide open.

"Oh no! The concert! I completely forgot!" she spat, grasping her hair. "Daddy's gonna kill me!" Ariel quickly sped down near the ocean's floor.

"Hey, Ariel, wait up!"

Well? How is it so far? I'd love to hear from you. Please review. Remember, I have got this entire thing written out, and more reviews = faster updates! Even if I don't get any, I'll still update, just very slowly. :B

ALSO, if you want an idea of how the song at the beginning is supposed to sound, do a YouTube search of "Ephemeral Phantasia Eternal Love." It should be the first video. It's a really great song!
