------------------------------------------------
Dory danced around her home amid the kelp forest, dolling up the makeshift mannequin she was creating. Two blue flying fish came up to her, holding a small, banana-shaped pebble.
"Dory, Dory," they said in unison, "how's this for your statue?"
"Oh, this will be perfect!" gushed Dory, taking it from them and fixing it on the statue. "Thank you!"
"You're welcome!" said the two, pleased with themselves. However they were suddenly shooed away by Bloat.
"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, okay, move it!" He waved his fins. "We have got a face to put together, here, while it's still ingrained in her subcranium!"
"Oh, Bloat, it was such a lovely dream!" said Dory with a distant look in her eyes. "We were holding hands, and dancing…" She started to spin around again. She was quickly stopped by a small grey fish with two black stones that had a tint of red. No once noticed this small detail, however.
"And these for the eyes?" he presented the stones to Dory.
She gasped, "Black! Oh, how did you know?" She tilted them back and forth. "And they sparkle, just like his!" She set to fix them on the statue. "Okay…there we go…" She stepped back. "Yes! That's it!" She turned to Bloat.
"Alright!" said Bloat. He gathered the rest of the fish and hushed them. He turned to Dory. "Floor's yours, hon."
She cleared her throat dramatically. "Presenting: my one true love; my prince; my dream come true!" She turned the statue to show it to everyone. It wasn't very precise(Dory DID have some memory problems), All that it really had was the dorsal fin and those eyes. Still, the other fish "ooo"ed and "ahhh"ed. Suddenly, however, Dory gasped in realization. "Oh my goodness!" She searched the statue.
Bloat swam up to her. "Woah! What? What's the problem?"
She sighed. "I didn't give him any lips."
"Oh, right" said Bloat.
"Does he have to have lips?" asked a younger, green fish.
Dory laughed, "Of course!"
When you meet the someone
Who was meant for you
Before two can become one
There's something you must do
"Do you pull each others' tails?" asked one fish, pulling a girl fish's tail to demonstrate. She promptly slapped him.
"Or feed each other flakes?" guessed a pink fish, stuffing the fish next to her with flakes. He choked a bit.
Dory giggled.
No
There is something sweeter
that every true love takes
I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss
And a prince I'm hoping comes with this
That's what brings ever-aftering
So happy!
And that's the reason we need lips so much
For lips are the only things that touch
So to spend a life of endless bliss
Just find who you love through true love's kiss
She studied her statue intently. "If we're going to find the perfect pair of lips, we're going to need a lot more help." She swam to the top of the kelp forest and sang her fish-animal call.
aaaAAAaaaAAAah
aaaAAAaaaAAAah
aaaAAAaaaAAAAAAAH
The rest of the fish-animals in the forest heard and answered,
aaaAAAaaaAAAah
aaaAAAaaaAAAah
aaaAAAaaaAAAAAAAH
They flooded into her makeshift house.
She's been dreaming of a true love's kiss
And a prince she's hoping comes with this
They started a line of passing potential "lips" to Dory for approval.
That's what brings ever-aftering so happy
Dory tried a piece of coral, a small frond, even a tiny crab, but to no avail. But when she was handed something soft, squishy, and pink, she was delighted and stuck it on.
And that's the reason we need lips so much
For lips are the only things that touch
However, the pink squishy thing turned out to be a very offended sponge, whom Dory put back in the ground after apologizing to it. She then walked back to her statue and sighed.
So to spend a life of endless bliss
The other fish began to sing with her as they brought some strung-together water-lilies in the shape of a heart.
Just find who you love through true love's kiss
The fish-animals draped the heart over Dory and the statue. She sighed and wondered how long it would be before she'd see her prince again.
-----------------------------------------
At that same time, Prince Gurgle was riding on his trusty seahorse, chasing down a frogfish. He eventually tied it up in some strong algae.
"Look out below!" he shouted as the frogfish fell over with Gurgle on its back. When it fell, the Prince laughed a victorious, confident laugh.
"Amazing, Sire! Your tenth frogfish this month!" exclaimed Bubbles. "Oh I loooooove hunting frogfish!!" Bubbles tried to climb up the frogfish via its face, to no avail. "Big frogfish, little frogfish-frogfish, frogfish, frogfi-IIIIIISH!" Bubbles nearly lost his balance on the last syllable, but managed to catch himself-
And stick his fin right in the frogfish's nose.
"Sorry," he said to the frogfish as he wiped his fin.
"Oh, that's okay," said the frogfish kindly.
Gurgle pulled Bubbles up onto the frogfish's back.
"Oh, frogfish are fine to pass the time, Bubbles, but…" Gurgle looked somewhere in the distance. "But my heart longs to be joined in song!" He stood up and, of course, began to sing, dragging Nathaniel around in a circle as he did so.
I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss
And a-
Prince I'm hoping comes with this
Gurgle stopped. He hadn't sung that. That sounded like a woman.
"Do-do you hear that, Bubbles?"
"Me?" Bubbles gulped inwardly "No!!" Bubbles panicked. "I hear nothing, nothing at all, Your Highness!" He laughed nervously. He tried to sing over the girl to make it look like that was his voice.
But Gurgle was having none of it. "I must find the maiden that belongs to that sweet voice!" He rushed to get on his seahorse, despite Bubbles' frantic protests. "Ride, Destiny!" The sea horse galloped off before Bubbles could catch it.
He started to panic. "Oh no! No! No, this isn't good! All these years of frogfish chasing, trying to keep him from ever meeting a girl-Ah! The Queen!" He opened up a small compact where he kept the Queen's picture. "Oh, she's not going to like this."
Suddenly the frogfish started singing along in a very bass voice.
True love's kiss
Suddenly, an idea popped into Bubbles' head…
--------------------------------------------
Gurgle sang as he galloped towards the angelic voice.
aaaaah AAAAAAAh aaah AAAH aaah aaah
True love's kiss
Suddenly, he heard loud pounding behind him and the ground shaking beneath him. He turned to find the frogfish stepping over him and running in the direction as well.
True love's kiss
Gurgle laughed. "You shall not prevail, foul frogfish! That maiden is mine!"
----------------------------------------------
Dory sighed as she sat on a sponge and looked out at the forest.
"Hon?" said Bloat. "Do ya really think this dream boy exists?"
"Oh, Bloat," Dory sighed, turning back to the statue. "I know he's out there somewhere."
As she continued to stare at her prince dreamily, she failed to notice the huge eye at the window. All the other fish-animals did, and tried to tell her.
"I-I-I-I-I…" they all stuttered.
"I-I what?" she asked confused.
"I eat you now!" yelled the frogfish.
Dory screamed and the fish-animals scattered as two hands reached in through the windows.
"Gotcha!" said the frogfish, feeling victorious, until he saw Dory swimming through another window. The frogfish had grabbed the statue. He crushed it with his fist.
"Hey! That's cheating!" He said as she swam out of his grasp. (A/N For those of you who don't know, frogfish don't swim, but actually walk or occasionally jet propel themselves forward. They cannot swim up like other fish, so that's what I mean by out of his grasp.*little rainbow w/ "The More You Know" written on it* Ok back to the story) "I supposed to eat you now!!"
"Oh no you don't, ya big lug!" said Bloat. He blew up in the frogfish's face and one of his spines poked him in the eye.
"Owie!!" the frogfish yelled, and he batted Bloat away.
"Woooah!!" said Bloat as he drifted away.
Dory swam up more but ran into rock. She was trapped in a cave-like dead end. She turned and saw the frogfish's ugly face, grinning and smacking its lips.
Suddenly, there was a voice, somewhat in the distance.
"Fear not, fair maiden, I am here!"
The frogfish turned to see where the voice came from, and Dory took this opportunity to swim through the frogfish's legs and up onto a high rock formation.
The frogfish yelled and screamed, obviously angry, but he couldn't reach her.
She turned to see a handsome royal gramma, looking more royal than usual, on a beautiful seahorse.
"Ah, maiden! Thank goodness you're all right!"
Suddenly, she knew. This was her prince. It had to be.
"Oh my gosh," she softly exclaimed. "It's you."
"Uh, yes, it's me," said Gurgle, confused but entranced by the maiden's beauty. "And you are?"
"Dory," she smiled up at him.
"Oh, Dory!!" said Gurgle, as if her name was the greatest thing he'd ever heard in his life. He swiftly lifted her up onto his seahorse. "We shall be married in the morning!"
No prizes for what they did next:
"You're the fairest maid I've ever met
You were made-"
"To finish your duet," finished Dory. They sang together:
"And in years to come we'll reminisce"
All the fish-animals followed them as they rode toward the castle.
G: How we came to love
D: And grew and grew love
Both: Since first we knew love through True Love's Kiss!
----------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Queen Cassandra saw the couple in her magic bubble.
"So this is the little kelp forest rat who thinks she can steal my throne," she said fairly nonchalantly. But suddenly her face turned venomous, and a pillar of water sprung up around her.
"NEVER!!!!!!"
And her shadow against the water almost looked like a serpent…
Whew! By the way I'm only calling her Cassandra because I don't wanna get sued. She's really the same basic character. AAAANYwhoodle, please review and tell me watcha think! And don't n think I'm giving up on Finding Jessie-I'm writing both at the same time! (No wonder my grades are mostly C's…)
