The Little Mermaid
Chapter III
Musical or Not!
"Vexen!" Roxas called to a golden seagull sitting upon a rock island absolutely in the dead middle of no where.
"Whoa! Merman's Off The Port Bow! Roxas, Demyx how are you doing kids?" Vexen shouted since he thought the two mermen were far away from him. He then lowered the telescope he was looking through only to see Roxas's face inches from the tip of his beak.
"Whoa, what a swim."
"Vexen, look what we found." Roxas only replied joyfully as he pulled his bag off his shoulder and passed it to his friend.
"Yeah, we were in this sunken ship and it was really creepy…" Demyx tried to explain but was cut off.
"Human stuff, huh? Hey, let me see." Vexen said happily as he dropped an anchor to the bottom rock below and fell since the rope was caught on his leg. He quickly recovered though as he got up and stepped on Demyx's mullet then began rummaging through the bag.
"Oh! Oh! Look at this. Wow. This is special. This is very, very unusual." The golden seagull commented as he pulled out the metal prong object and rubbed the back of his neck.
"What? What is it?" Roxas asked happily and now even more curious.
"It's a dinglehopper. Humans use these little babies to straighten their hair out." Vexen explained before sticking the metal object in his hair.
"See? Just a little twirl here and a yank there and violee…Ya got an aesthetically pleasing configuration of hair that humans go nuts over." He added as his hair was nothing but a bunch of gravity defying feathers that looked like a mop. He even ran his wing under it to make it stand up just a little higher.
"A dinglehopper." Roxas said with a smile as he took the new named object in his hand.
"What about that one?" Demyx asked as he pointed to the second treasure. Vexen picked it up and smiled widely.
"Ah! This I haven't seen in years. This is wonderful! A banded, bulbous snarfblatt." Vexen stated as he held it up to the kids.
"Oh."
"Now the snarfblatt goes back to prehistorically times when humans used to sit around and stare at each other all day. Got very boring." The seagull commented and pulled away from Roxas's face after getting only millimeters from his nose.
"So, they invented this snarfblatt to make fine music. Allow me." With that he blew into the small hole and his cheeks turned red as from the other hole came foam and seaweed.
"Music!" Roxas groaned suddenly.
"It's stuck!" Vexen coughed.
"Oh, the concert! Oh my gosh! My dad is gonna kill me!"
"The concert was today?" Demyx gasped as he brought his hands to his cheeks.
"Maybe you could make a little planter out of it." Vexen said curiously before the snarfblatt was snatched out of his hands.
"I'm sorry. We gotta go. Thank you Vexen." Roxas said before he stuffed the stuff back in his bag. He and Demyx then dived down under the ocean surface and straight in the direction of home.
Little did they know that two eels, one a pinkish color and the other a brownish, were watching them, with one of their eyes glowing.
In a cave, far from the two merteens, a lone sea witched gazed at her bubble, watching them swim for life itself.
"Yes, hurry home, Prince. We wouldn't want to miss old Daddy's celebration, now, would we?" Larxene's deep voice sneered as she reached for a shrimp and took it by her nails.
"Ha! Celebration, indeed. Oh, bah! In my day, we had fantastical feasts, when I lived in the palace." She hissed as she then threw the shrimp in her mouth and only chewed twice before swallowing.
"And now look at me. Wasted away to practically nothing. Banished and exiled and practically starving, while he and his flimsy fish folk celebrate." She then slipped from her large shell chair revealing her black long tentacles and golden yellow hair, that was slicked back with only two strands sticking up.
"Well, I'll give 'em something to celebrate soon enough. Leaxeus! Marluxia! I want you to keep an extra close watch on this pretty little son of his. He may be the key to Xemnas's undoing." Her eyes then glowed bright yellow as her tentacles wrapped around her and her smile went wide across her face.
