Chapter Thirty Eight: Back to Atlantica Part One

The full moon was high in the sky above the ocean as Ariel jumped out of the water over and over before she stopped, looking at the moon she smiled. "Ah, the night sky is so beautiful right after a storm….," she said before she noticed a plank of wood floating in the water, she then turned to see a man with black hair and also wearing a white shirt holding onto a board of wood. Ariel gasped and swam towards the stranded man. A few minutes later, Ariel was on the beach with the man unconscious beside her and she began to sing. "What would I give to live where you are…What would I pay to stay here beside you…What would I do to see you smiling at me…Where would we walk, where would we run if we could stay all day in the sun…Just you and me, and I could be part of your world…." She sang as the man awoke and looked into Ariel's eyes making her gasp and swim off before he could act. The man stood up slowly and walked to the edge of the water.

"The girl who rescued me…Her voice…," he said not seeing two eels which were observing him from the water. Meanwhile under the sea Sora, Daisuke, Veemon, Donald and Goofy appeared in a flash of light now in their underwater forms.

"Oh boy under the sea again!" Donald quacked happily.

"Wahoo!" Veemon cheered swimming around.

"You gotta be kidding me," Daisuke said making Sora look over at her to see her chest was barely contained by two seashells causing him to go rocketing back with a massive nosebleed turning the surrounding sea red with blood.

"For crying out loud," Veemon said shaking his head while Goofy and Donald were also ashamed and embarrassed while Daisuke was entertained by Sora's new reaction as Ariel, Sebastian and Flounder swam over.

"Daisuke, Donald, Goofy, Veemon….and uh Sora?" Ariel asked noticing Sora had a goofy smile on his face and his eyes had turned to x's and he began to float to the surface of the sea but Ariel swam up and brought him down and gently shook him several times before Donald swam over to them.

"Move!" Donald quacked as he slammed his staff down on Sora's head waking him up and he shouted.

"Ow! What was that for!?" he asked Donald holding his head as a bump formed and Donald laughed at him.

"It's good to see you again Ariel," Daisuke greeted swimming over to Ariel.

"It's good to see you again too," Ariel replied. "Hope you guys remembered how to swim,"

"Well I sure do, but the others….well…" Daisuke said looking over to see Sora struggling to swim in his new body again. "Better remember fast Sora," she told him with a giggle and Sora pouted.

"I always am amazed how we can move up and down in this world," Veemon said and to prove his point he swam up and then dived straight down.

"This is much better," Sora said once he got the hand of swimming once again.

"How could you have forgot how to swim, what have you been doing?" Ariel asked.

"We've been asleep," Daisuke answered.

"Asleep? That must have been some nap," Ariel replied.

"Tell me about it," Daisuke said.

"Now then, what brings you five into the sea, is something going on?" asked Sebastian.

"Kind of," Sora answered.

"But everything is so peaceful," Goofy said.

"Oh, everything's fine….as long as Daddy's in a good mood," Ariel explained.

"Hey, we got us a concert very soon. Why don't you sing in my musical extravaganza?" Sebastian asked before swimming over to Daisuke and whispering. "Please say yes! Ariel's been acting strange lately. But she might settle down and practice if you're there, too."

"Well, I'll give it a shot," Daisuke replied.

"Excellent! Now then, I'll teach you everything you need," Sebastian said happily.

"What do I have to do?" Daisuke asked.

"It's easy!" Sebastian answered swimming off and he stood on a platform of stone. "All you gotta do is feel de rhythm! Hear de beat and put a little shake in it!" he told Daisuke who swam over.

"if I do that I might break this and give Sora a heart attack," she said pointing to her seashell bra and then at Sora.

"Ready? Let's go!" Sebastian said as music began to play and Daisuke began to move to the beat and she flipped backwards and twirled through the water. "That's the way. Okay, Donald. Your turn. You do just like Daisuke then she see what you got," he told Donald who also began dancing and he back flipped. "That's it! Goofy, Veemon, Sora. It's you, now. You think you can do better?" he asked them, Sora, Goofy and Veemon began to dance and they all flipped through the water. "Excellent, now all you have to do is to keep in beat with Ariel, remember to feel the beat," Sebastian said as Ariel and Daisuke began to dance and both swam around each other and posed. "That's it you got it. That's all there is to it,"

"I don't know," Goofy said.

"Anytime you just wanna sing in a music masterpiece, you just come see me," Sebastian replied.

"Alright. I'm ready to give it a go," Daisuke said.

"Terrific!" Sebastian said and soon Daisuke and Ariel were standing atop a large open clam. "Break a fin," Sebastian said as the various sea animals began to play music.

"Swim this way, we'll dance and we'll play now. It's very easy, come on in. just take a chance and shake a fin," Daisuke and Ariel sang in harmony.

"You can do it, just feel the music," Sebastian encouraged.

"Don't be shy, let the music inside. And dance, dance, dance!" Ariel and Daisuke sang. "Swim this way, we'll dance and we'll play. It's very easy, come on in. Just take a chance and shake a fin," they sang as Ariel took Daisuke's hand and swam up.

"Watch the stage, now! How exciting!" Sebastian said as Ariel and Daisuke swam around a spinning clam.

"See the sigh? Can you reach it in time, and tap, tap, tap?" Ariel and Daisuke sang as Daisuke hit the clam with her Keyblade making it open up.

"Yeah! That's it man!" Sebastian cheered.

"Swim this way, we'll dance and we'll play now. It's very easy, come on in. Just take a chance and shake a fin," Daisuke and Ariel sang as six dolphins swam towards them and then swam up and spun around and split.

"And if you can't reach the top use magic!" Sebastian shouted.

"It's all the same, if you've got steady aim. Just zap, zap, zap! Ariel and Daisuke sang as Daisuke fired blasts of magic at some crystals in the ceiling making them light up.

"There, you got the rhythm now!" Sebastian cheered.

"Swim this way, we'll dance and we'll play now. It's very easy, come on in. Just take a chance and shake a fin," Daisuke and Ariel sang as the others began to dance.

"It's not over yet, keep it up, you can do it!" Sebastian encouraged.

"Swim this way, we'll dance and we'll play now. It's very easy, come on in. Just take a chance and shake a fin," Daisuke and Ariel sang again.

"Now what about the bubbles?" Sebastian asked.

"Just a touch, cause it won't take too much, to pop, pop, pop!" Ariel and Daisuke sang as Daisuke bust the nearby large bubbles.

"On to the next one!" Sebastian shouted.

"Swim this way, we'll dance and we'll play now. It's very easy, come on in. Just take a chance and shake a fin," Ariel and Daisuke sang.

"Here comes the drum solo, give him the signal," Sebastian said.

"Count him in so he'll know to begin, to drum, drum, drum," Daisuke and Ariel sang as the Octopus by the drums began to drum.

"Now the cues are all up to you," Sebastian said.

"Swim this way, we'll dance and we'll play now. It's very easy, come on in. Just take a chance and shake a fin," Ariel and Daisuke sang as they swam towards each other and they dived down to the large clam on the stage.

"Here's your big moment! Make them cheer!" Sebastian said happily as Daisuke and Ariel dance around each other.

"Don't dilly dally, it's your big finale. Sha-la-la!" Ariel and Daisuke sang before posing.

"You made a big splash, fantastic!" Sebastian cheered jumping onto the musical notes.

"Swim this way, we'll dance and we'll play now. It's very easy, come on in. Just take a chance and shake a fin," Daisuke, Ariel, Sora, Donald, Veemon and Goofy sang.

"Swim along, just join in the song. A musical for everyone to have a lot of finny fun." Ariel sang as they all posed to end the song.

"Daisuke you were amazing," Ariel said making Daisuke blush and smile.

"Hey! I wanna sing more lines!" Donald quacked making Ariel giggle before she frowned and swam off as King Triton swam over.

"Your majesty we have visitors," Sebastian said.

"King Triton," Sora said.

"I certainly hope there hasn't been a need to use that Keyblade of yours," King Triton said.

"Nope. Everything's fine. Not a heartless in sight," Sora replied.

"Your majesty, our guests, they wanna sing in the musical," Sebastian told the king who nodded.

"Well, that sounds like a splendid idea," he said before swimming over to Sora and the others. "You see, I'm afraid Ariel's still infatuated with the human world. A busy rehearsal schedule might just be the thing she needs to stop thinking about life up on the surface," he whispered and Sora and Daisuke looked over at Ariel who was looking away from them.

Meanwhile back on dry land, the man that Ariel had rescued was standing on the beach and was looking out to the ocean when he heard Ariel singing. "Swim along, just join in the song. A musical festival for everyone to have a lot of finny fun,"

"That's the voice I heard! I'm sure of it!" he said walking into the water. "Hello!? Where are you hiding?" he shouted. "I know you're the girl who saved me. Please, come out so I can thank you," he shouted but he got no reply. Meanwhile down below in the sea, Ariel was floating in the water silent.

"Ariel?" Sebastian asked as he swam over to her but he got no reply and he turned away. "That girl's acting strange again. Probably been flitting around on the surface…Ohhh, the Sea King's gonna have my claws for this," he mumbled as Daisuke swam over.

"Come on Ariel, we need to keep rehearsing," she told Ariel who turned to her.

"I'm sorry, but I don't feel like it," Ariel replied before she swam off.

"No! Ariel!" Sebastian shouted as Flounder swam over.

"I've got an idea, Sebastian," he said before swimming of. "I know how to cheer Ariel up, come on follow me," he said swimming off.

"Come on, let's follow him and see what he is talking about," Daisuke said and the others nodded and they swam after Flounder.
