Hi everybody! (Hi Dr. Nick!) So this is my first Disney fan fic ever, I'm a huge fan of the movies, and I have done fan fics before, but just not of Disney. I figured hey, why not start off with a lesbian Disney fan fiction? That will go over great!
Actually, I know Disney fans are usually very accepting of this, so I'm not worried about your reaction. Unless you do want to kill me, but whatever. But here's the thing, this isn't because I wanted to start with something out there that may or may not have been done before, probably has but I'm not going to look. I really just had this idea in my mind for awhile and wanted to get it down on paper.
So... I guess to actually get to something to do with the story, this is about Melody, Ariel's daughter. Four years after her first movie, so she's sixteen. Got it? Yay! By the way, if anyone is still reading this and wants a kudos in an upcoming chapter, put the words "Creepy Steeple" into your review. Thanks!
Melody's POV
It was hard to believe that I had spent twelve years not knowing I was a mermaid. Twelve years of staring out into the ocean, thinking merpeople were just fish tales, I would always be land borne and continue to be the awkward princess.
Now I swam through the water like a fish, moving with the waves, embracing just being a part of the sea. The once cold, forbidden ocean was now my home in a sense, the place I felt most comfortable.
The wall was taken down after Morgana was destroyed, land and sea were once again reunited. I was mainly on land, my mom and dad wanted me to stay there during the night, and when I was learning. But whenever I had free time I could go into the ocean, get transformed into a mermaid and just swim until I was exhausted.
That was my perfect life for four years, so easy, so carefree.
Then boys entered the picture.
To be specific, every boy in the entire world seemed to enter the picture. All wanting to be "involved" with me. Actually, it wasn't me they were particularly interested in, it was the thought of being with a princess. At first I didn't mind it, I actually really liked the attention. Then it got to the point where I was sick of it and just wanted to get away. Even the ocean seemed to be swimming with mermen lately. It was hard to catch a break.
Early Saturday morning, before the sun was fully in the sky, I ran outside and went over to the water, digging my toes into the sand and letting the waves hit my ankles. I took out the amulet my grandpa gave me, letting me transform into a mermaid when I hit the ocean. Submerged in water completely.
I took off my pants and shirt and went into the water, being just a human at the moment I could feel the ice cold water send shivers through me. Whenever I went in the water I always wore a large piece of red cloth around my torso, covering myself. I felt weird if I wore a shell bra, or even a bikini. I wasn't comfortable in it, plus it helped my dad to know that his little princess wasn't swimming around half naked in the water.
I submerged in the cold water and waited a few seconds for the transformation. My legs felt like they bound together as my lower half formed the red tail I was so used to seeing. Transformation got easier over time, something that felt super weird the first few times.
Once I had totally transformed, I dashed into the depths of the ocean. I wanted to get far from the shore, but also wanted to stay somewhat far from Atlantica. I knew my parents didn't want me wandering too far, but I didn't really want to be seen.
My mind began to wander as I swam, about where my life was even going. I knew that I would have to get married eventually, sooner rather than later. My mom got married very young, so I was probably expected to do the same. Even though she constantly said that I could wait as long as I needed, I knew she was expecting me to be married probably by the time I was twenty. Pregnant by twenty one.
I didn't want to get married though. Not yet. I wanted to live my life by myself, experience everything I possibly could and then settle down when the time was right. I didn't want to get married just because my body said I was ready to have children, or because royalty is supposed to get married young. I still had a lot of maturing to do.
Physically I was like any other teenage girl. I had grown a little bit, but I was kind of short for my age. My long black hair stayed straight, but it was often kept in a loose pony tail. The rest of my body developed like any other girl, my chest got bigger, I lost my baby weight. I was still uncomfortable about it all though.
When I finally stopped swimming I sat by a rock. On one side there were no barnacles, so I leaned against there.
"Why does everything have to be so complicated?" I mumble to myself, shutting my eyes. It was nice to get away, relax. When I could relax that is.
I stayed silent, just letting the sounds of the waves and the fish fill the air. The area was pretty abandoned, but abandoned in the ocean was still usually full of life. But just fish, occasional octopus or squid.
A few minutes passed before I heard the singing. It was a mermaid obviously, the female voice and ability to sing under water were the giveaways. I wasn't expecting to hear anyone though, not this far from Atlantica.
I swam out from behind the rock and looked around. I saw nothing at first, so swam towards the singing.
That was when I saw her.
She was a mermaid with a bright pink tail. She sung softly to herself as she combed out her curly brown hair, staring out at nothing. She wore a green shell bra and nothing else. Common for mermaids.
I was a small distance away, but she apparently heard me and stopped singing, turning around. She was a lot younger than I imagined, my age. She had brown eyes to match her hair.
"Hi." She smiles lightly.
"Oh, hi... Sorry, I didn't mean to intrude." I say and she smiles and swims over to me.
"No problem... You're princess Melody, right?" She asks and I nod.
"Yeah." I smile lightly, most people being able to recognize me.
"Well I'm Lila." She says. "People don't usually come around here, sorry if I'm a bit... Confused."
"I'm sorry, is this your home?" I ask and start to back off and she shakes her head.
"No, I live in Atlantica. I just come here to get away." She seemed nice enough, and it was nice to meet a girl for once. Not a boy. "Do you come here often?"
I shake my head. "No, never have before." I admit and she smiles brightly.
"Well you should come back some time princess. It would be cool to have someone in the royal family not thinking I'm totally weird." She laughs lightly and I smile.
"What do you mean?" I ask and she shrugs.
"People think I'm weird because I don't talk a lot. To be honest, there's no one worth talking to." She shrugs.
"You're talking to me."
She smirks lightly. "Well then, what does that say about you princess?" She looks up in the sky, the sun blaring by now. "Come by tomorrow, maybe we can actually get to know each other."
"You have to go?" I ask and she nods.
"Parents think I'm in bed right now." She laughs. "I'm here every morning. Whenever you want to talk."
I nod. "Okay, bye." I smile and she nods.
"See you." She says and swims off.
It was an interaction I had everyday, meeting someone new, them being polite. Usually it ended differently. No one was ever as casual, as nice. Most people were afraid to leave.
It was nice to be treated as normal for once.
End of chapter one! Most chapters will be longer, but this is the first. So... There. Please read and review! Thanks!
