A/N I saw three videos on YouTube, all by RosesnWater, who's here on FanFiction under the same name. The videos are, "Breath- Thrax/Ariel/Gaston (feat. Belle)" "Perfect Enemy- Hades/Ariel/Thrax/Belle (feat: Vanessa)" and "Everytime I Fall- Thrax/Belle/Gaston" I got her permission to write them into a fanfic.

There are three parts of this story, representing each video: Breath, Perfect Enemy, and Everytime I Fall. I think I'm gonna have fun with this :)

The plots are owned by RosesnWater; the characters, except Almira, belong to Disney and/or Warner Bros. Almira's my own character. I couldn't resist adding her :3

Devilgirl123: Thank you :)

RosesnWater: Of course XD Thank you very much :)

Breath
Chapter 2

As Ariel and Gaston talked, Thrax absentmindedly rubbed Almira's head, trying not to stare at Ariel. He had seen pretty girls in his day, but Ariel topped them all. He didn't know why; she just did.

When Gaston caught Thrax staring at his girl out of the corner of his eye for the tenth time, he scowled, "Thrax, maybe you should take your mu-hyena for a walk, hm?"

"Why? Tired of my company already?" Thrax smirked.

"Gaston, it's alright." Ariel said. "I don't mind him being here."

Thrax threw Gaston a smug look, which he ignored. "So, Ariel," The half-Daemon started. "How 'bout you tell us why you were only wearin' a ship sail an' rope?"

Gaston glared murder at him, but relaxed when Ariel nodded, "I'd be glad to. You see, I was never really a human; I was born as a mermaid."

Gaston and Thrax's eyes widened slightly; Almira's ears perked up. "Really?" Gaston asked.

Ariel nodded. "So…how're you able to walk on land?" Thrax asked. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but ain't mermaids supposed to have tails instead of legs?"

"You're correct. Let me explain...

Ariel swam around in the ocean, sighing softly. She loved the ocean, but often wondered about life on land.

Suddenly, there was a splash. Curious, Ariel swam in the direction she heard it. What she found shocked her.

It was a human; he had shoulder-length black hair, peach skin, black robes and pants, and black boots. He looked unconscious.

Pumping her aqua-green tail, Ariel swam as fast as she could to the human. Wrapping her arm around his chest, she swam to the surface and towards the shore. She pushed him onto the sand, stopping to catch her breath.

After a few minutes, she heard him groan. She watched in awe as he opened his green eyes. "Wha…what happened?"

"You fell in the ocean." Ariel explained, helping him sit up. "I pulled you out. What happened?"

"I was knocked out on the edge of a cliff. I must have fallen over the edge." He slowly smiled. "Thank you, my dear. Tell me, what is your name?"

"Ariel."

"If I may, Ariel, what is your greatest wish?"

"To be a human. I'm a mermaid, you see, but I want to know about life on land."

"I see. Well, what would you say if I told you I could grant your wish?"

Ariel raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"I mean I can grant your wish. You see, I am a sorcerer; I know magic. To thank you for saving my life, I can grant you your wish."

Ariel's face lit up. "You can?" She exclaimed.

"Yes." The sorcerer smiled. "I can. Would you like to walk on land as a human?"

She didn't even hesitate. "Oh, yes! Yes, I would!"

Chuckling, the sorcerer stood up shakily and raised his hand. His fingers began glowing blue. At the same time, Ariel was lifted into the air as her tail glowed blue. He clenched his hand, causing her tail to glow blinding-white. Then he spread his fingers; the light exploded, and Ariel was dropped into the shallow water. Once the light was gone, so was the sorcerer.

Ariel bent her tail up, but instead, to her delight, found two long legs. She stood up, smiling widely, but then realized she was only wearing her shell bra. Luckily, she found an old ship sail and rope. She wrapped the sail around her chest and waist, and tied it in place with the rope.

She began walking around. She was as wobbly as a child learning to walk, and she fell several times. But after an hour, she was able to walk while only shaking a little.

Just then, there was a loud barking. A large brown dog with wrinkles around its mouth came running. Exclaiming in fright, Ariel ran up and onto a large rock. The dog stood up on its hind legs with its paw against the rock, still barking.

"Chasseur!" A voice yelled. "Where are you? Whatcha got, boy?"

The dog named Chasseur went running back to a buff man wearing red, gold and brown, holding a large gun. His eyes widened when he saw Ariel on a rock. "Oh, I see."

Chasseur ran back to the rock, barking. "Shut it! Sit!"

The dog obediently sat down. "Good." The man nodded. "Sorry about that, Miss. Once he scents something, he's off like a bullet."

"It…it's alright." Ariel smiled shyly. She liked this man already; she thought he looked handsome. "I…my name is Ariel."

"Gaston. And, if I may ask, what are you doing in…in just that?"

"I'm new here, I haven't any clothes."

"I see." Gaston rubbed his chin, humming. "Come with me; I'll get you some clothes and a place to rest."

"Oh, you're so kind!" Ariel climbed down from the rock shakily.

"I am, aren't I?" He smiled smugly.

"So Gaston and I have been together ever since." Ariel concluded. "That was all about a week ago."

"Hmmm. Well, in all honesty, I think you look real good as a human." Thrax grinned, resting his chin on his hand.

Ariel smiled, covering her lips with her fingers as she blushed. "Aw, Thrax, you're so sweet."

Almira scoffed, rolling her eyes. Gaston gave Thrax a warning glare.

"C'mon, Gaston, I'm just bein' nice." He chuckled. "And honest."

"Gaston, lighten up." Ariel agreed. "I like him."

Thrax smiled smugly until Gaston stomped on his foot under the table. He cursed under his breath as Almira bared her teeth at the hunter.

An hour later, it was getting late. "Gaston, can you walk me back to my house?" Ariel asked.

"I wish I could, dear, but I'm busy with…um…work." Gaston shrugged.

Ariel scowled, crossing her arms. "I'll do more than walk ya," Thrax smirked.

"What do you mean?" Ariel asked.

"You'll see." He winked.

Very curious, Ariel nodded, "Alright."

"What?" Gaston exclaimed in surprise.

"Shouldn't've been so, 'busy'." Thrax mocked.

"He's right, Gaston." Ariel agreed, holding Thrax's arm. "You had your chance to take me home, and you were busy."

"Nighty-night." Thrax grinned, leading Ariel outside. Almira followed behind, giving Gaston a smirk. He grumbled about Thrax and his, "Dumb mutt."

Outside, Ariel followed Thrax to a smaller warehouse. "What is in there?" She asked.

"You'll see." Thrax said again. He pushed open the door, revealing two horses tied to posts. One was black with gray hooves, mane and tail, and red nostrils and eyes. The other was reddish-brown with a white stripe down his face, white stockings, brown eyes, and a long black mane and tail.

Ariel gasped in delight, but then asked confused, "What are they?"

"Horses." Thrax answered. "Besides walkin', they're our main means of transportation. Sometimes they pull carriages, other times we ride them."

"They're so…big!" She said, looking at the black horse.

"They have to be in order to carry us." Thrax approached the red horse. "This one's mine. Hey, Blaze," He smiled, patting the horse's neck. Blaze nickered, nudging the half-Daemon's shoulder with his nose. "This is Ariel."

Ariel reached out until her hand rested on Blaze's nose. "Oh!" She giggled. "Fuzzy. He's so beautiful!"

"Indeed." Thrax nodded, smiling. Just like you. "Let me help ya up, then I'll get on, an' we'll get to town."

"What about Almira?" She asked, stroking Blaze's snout.

"She'll run alongside. Come here beside Blaze. I just need to get his bridle an' saddle pad on."

Ariel walked around until she was beside Blaze, waiting patiently as Thrax readied the horse. "One, two three," He lifted her by her waist and onto the saddle pad on Blaze's back. "Grip his chest with yer knees an' hold onto his mane until I get on."

Ariel nodded, feeling a little nervous on the big animal. She gripped his chest with her knees, and took hold of his mane. She felt Thrax climb on and sit behind her. He reached around her and took hold of the reins. "If you start to fall, let me know."

"Ok." Ariel nodded.

Clicking his tongue, Thrax nudged Blaze forward with his knees. He walked out of the warehouse and down the road; Almira trotted alongside him.

Ariel smiled widely; it was more fun than she thought. "I'm gonna go faster. It's gonna get bouncy." Thrax warned. He clicked his tongue again and nudged Blaze with his knees, urging him into a trot.

He was right; it was bouncy. She gripped Blaze's mane and hugged his chest with her knees. It was still fun. "Faster!" She exclaimed.

Thrax grinned sneakily. "Ok, yer the boss." He kicked Blaze's flanks with his heels. "Hyah!"

Grunting, Blaze went into a full range gallop. Almira had to run as well to keep up. Ariel fell back against Thrax's chest, but still gripped with her knees and held onto Blaze's mane. She started laughing. "This is so much fun!"

Thrax just chuckled as they galloped into town. When they got close, he slowed the horse into a trot. Almira went from a run to a trot as well.

"Want to hold the reins?" Thrax asked. "'Cause I got no idea where you live."

He didn't see it, but Ariel had an unsure expression. "Um…"

"He's well-trained, so he won't run on you." He promised. "Just tug on the right rein if you want to go right, and the left if you want to go left."

"Well…ok."

Thrax slowed Blaze into a walk and dropped the reins; at the same time, Ariel picked them up, trying to imitate the way Thrax was holding them. She was a little shaky, but Blaze seemed patient. Soon, she was able to steer him well.

Finally, they came upon a building. "That's where I'm staying." She said. "Gaston says it's a hotel."

Nodding, Thrax took the reins back to bring Blaze into a halt. His claws brushed against Ariel's hands, but either she didn't notice, or she ignored it. What confused him was he felt his heart beat faster.

Once Blaze stopped, Thrax stepped down, and brought Ariel down the same way he helped her up. "Thank you, Thrax." She smiled. "I think I can see myself in."

"Yer welcome." He nodded, letting her waist go. He noticed that he had seemed reluctant to let her go.

"Don't tell Gaston this, as he may get angry, but I think you're very nice."

"Oh…thanks." He smiled.

She nodded, and started for the door. "By the way…good night." He said. It wasn't in a mocking way like it had been towards Gaston; this time, it was sincere.

Ariel paused, and turned towards him with a shy expression. "…Good night." She smiled before going inside.

Thrax remounted Blaze, and was trotting out of town when he got a sudden realization. He gasped softly as he nearly fell off on his own accord; Almira watched in confusion as his expression twisted into one of horror. "Oh my God…I think I've fallen in love with Ariel!"

Almira rolled her eyes in exasperation.

A/N Pretty good start so far :) And this chapter's quite a bit longer than the other. I try not to make chapters too short.

I like the teasing Thrax XD If he were a good guy in the OJ universe (too bad he isn't :() I think he'd be teasy; especially to Ozzy and Drix XD

The italics show how Ariel became to be a human: in the video, she saved a sorcerer, and earned her legs. I just realized I made the sorcerer look like Snape with a bit of a tan and green eyes...oops ^^;

The italics also have Ariel and Gaston meeting. I couldn't quite incorporate that in the first chapter, so I thought it'd be a good idea to put it here. I added Chasseur the bloodhound (it means "hunter" in French) because I thought it was a good way for Gaston to find Ariel. What hunter doesn't have a hunting dog? Granted bloodhounds are scenting hounds, but they're just as good.

I also like flirty Thrax, but then again, who doesn't? XD

I added in Thrax taking Ariel home on horseback because in this universe, cars weren't invented. Gaston's black horse was in Beauty and the Beast; Blaze is a quick OC. Fun Fact: a blaze, for horses, is the white stripe on their faces.

Writing about Thrax and Ariel riding the horse makes me kinda miss riding...I'm still a little nervous about riding because that's how I broke my arm. Also, my mom, younger sister and I went to a horse tournament at the 4H fair yesterday (just flag racing...or rather STICK racing XD) and one of the horses looked a little hyper and jumpy. I got a little nervous. So I'm still kinda iffy on riding again. That, and my doctor says I can't ride horses or bikes for the time being. But enough about me and my dumb problems.

I'm not sure if I like the way I wrote Thrax realizing he was in love with Ariel. It's a bit better than what I originally wrote, but I'm still not totally satisfied...maybe I'm trying too hard. I dunno.
