Disclaimer: I own nothing, except Sophie.

AN: I know some of you might think that I should have used some of Glory's minions, but I think Flotsam and Jetsam are actually some of the more sinister Disney Villain sidekicks, so I thought Darla and Dru fit that requirement better.

"What happened next, Mama Tara?" asked Sophie excitedly.

"Well, Tara didn't know it, but she and Fred were being watched.."

As Tara and Fred dove back under water and swam for home as fast as they could, Darla and Drusilla, two mervampires who had been spying on the girls, quickly dove too and hid in a nearby patch of kelp to continue their watch. They were not, as you would expect, out for a meal. They were in fact the loyal minions of Glory, the banished Hell-God of the sea who, with the help of a magical crystal ball, was watching the Princess through their eyes..

"That's right, hurry on home, Sweetie" said Glory mockingly as she watched the crystal ball inside her dark, dank, dreary cave, situated a long way from Angel's beautiful castle. Unlike the beautiful tails of the merpeople, the lower half of her body consisted of red octopus tentacles. "You wouldn't want to miss your big brother's celebration now would you?" She scoffed. "Celebration, ha! When I lived at the palace we had real celebrations, fantastic feasts almost every night! But now look at me!" The Hell-God lamented flopping into a nearby stone chairand stuffing a handful of shrimp into her mouth, thereby lessening the impact of her next statement a little, and even more so with the fact that she looked in no-way under-nourished. "Wasting away to practically nothing! It's not fair! Me banished, exiled, and starving while he and his silly little fish-folk celebrate!" Glory paused, an evil grin spreading over her face. "Well, soon that dim-witted King Angel will really have something to celebrate, and revenge will be mine!" she cackled. The Hell-God smirked as she heard her minions returning. "Darla, Drusilla!" she called, startling her minions by already knowing of their presence. Darla bumped her head on a rock as she rushed into the cave.

"Ouch!" she yelped. Dru giggled madly and Darla glared at her, before turning to Glory. "You called, Mistress?"

"Yes" said Glory seriously, glancing back at the crystal ball, in which Tara could still be viewed swimming madly back to the palace. She grinned wickedly. "I want you girls to keep an eye on Angel's precious little sister. She may be the key to his undoing.."

Once Tara arrived back at the palace, she recieved a scolding from her older brother, and, of course, the royal composer.

"Tara, I just don't know what to do with you" the King sighed.

"I'm sorry, Angel" said Tara, head bowed. "I really am. I just.. forgot."

"Because of your careless behaviour.."

"Careless and reckless behaviour!" Giles added, interrupting.

"Yes" Angel nodded, continuing, "The concert was.."

"Ruined!" cried Giles in despair. "Wrecked, completely wrecked! The entire concert was destroyed!" He threw his arms in the air. "A catastrophe! A disaster, young lady, that's what it was! This concert was supposed to be the most extinguishing work of my career, but now I am the laughing stock of the entire kingdom! I hope you're happy, you, you.. CONCERT WRECKER!"

"It wasn't her fault, sir" Fred piped up, moving out from behind her friend. The other girl hadn't spoken since she and Tara returned, and Angel and Giles turned to her as if surprised to find her there. The sudden attention made Fred nervous. "You see, there was this huge shark and it had rows and rows of really sharp teeth, and it went after us."

"That's true" Tara nodded, smiling at her friend's explanation.

"And then, then the shark was like 'grr!' and then I was like 'Ahh!', but Tara was like 'Swim for it!'" Fred continued. "And we were trying to get away from it, but we couldn't, but then the shark got stuck, but it still tried to take another snap at us, and we were like 'Whoa!' but it missed, so we escaped.." Tara smirked, trying not to laugh out loud at the other girl's version of events. Unfortunately, it was now that Fred made her big mistake. "And then there was the demon, going 'this is this' and that is that.."

"Demon?" Angel growled.

"Fred!" cried Tara, majorly annoyed. Fred just yelped, hiding behind her as King Angel glared at them.

"You went up to the surface again, didn't you?" he said angrily. "Didn't you?"

"Nothing happened.." said Tara quietly.

"Tara, how many times to we have to go through this?" yelled Angel exasperatedly. "You could have been seen by one of those.. those savages!"

"What savages?" asked Tara confused.

"Humans!" Angel shouted.

"They're not savages!"

"They're dangerous, Tara! Don't you remember what happened to Mom and Dad?"

"That was an accident.."

"I don't care!" Angel growled. "Do you think I want to see my little sister snared by some fish eater's hook?"

"I'm eighteen years old Angel, I'm not a little kid anymore!" Tara cried. "You don't get to decide what's best for me!"

"As long as you live under my ocean, you will obey my rules!" Angel yelled.

"But Angel.."

"Not another word! I am never, ever to hear of you going to the surface again, Tara" said Angel angrily. "Do I make myself clear?" Tara glared at her brother, then burst into tears, fleeing from the throne room with a concerned Fred close behind her. Angel flopped into his throne, sighing.

"Hmmph, children these days" said Giles, rolling his eyes. "Always seem to think they know better than adults. Really, give them an inch, and they'll swim all over you!"

"You don't think I was too harsh on her?" the King asked, a little worried.

"Oh, not at all Your Highness" said Giles. "Why, if Tara was my younger sibling, I'd make sure to keep a close watch on her, keep her on a short leash.."

"Short leash.." said Angel, considering.

"100 % under control" Giles nodded.

"Giles, you are absolutely right!" said Angel grinning.

"What?" said Giles, mildly surprised.

"Tara needs constant supervision" said Angel.

"Of course, constant" Giles agreed.

"Someone to watch over her, keep her out of trouble while I attend to important matters.."

"A splendid idea sir."

"I'm glad you think so Giles, because you're the man for the job!" Angel beamed.

"Of course, I.. What?" cried Giles in horror.

"This should be good" Sophie grinned.
