Jessica's Point of View
I woke up when I felt something graze my arm. I opened my eyes to see Ariel slip out. I was curious, so I followed her. When she got to the dungeon, I knew what she was doing. She glanced around and finally saw me. "Jess, are you following me? I was just..." Ariel trailed off, clearly trying to think of an excuse.
"It's okay. We're in this together. From now on, I've got your back," I replied. Ariel nodded, and we swam to the cell holding The Catfish Club's band. Ariel picked up a large rock along the way, and she bashed the lock on the door, which broke off.
"Ariel? Jessica?" Sebastian gasped.
"Come on. Let's go," Ariel urged while opening the cell.
"I'm with her," The turtle commented.
"If we run away from Atlantica, it will break your father's heart," Sebastian tried.
"I'm sorry. I just can't live here," Ariel sighed.
"Enough is enough," I added.
"Yeah, let's go," The octopus piped up.
Sebastian closed the cell door. "Listen, I will not be responsible for taking you away from your family."
Ariel opened the cell door again. "I'm leaving! With or without you."
Sebastian shut the door, and in the process, accidentally slipped through the bars, so he was outside the jail. "Nobody's leaving!"
"Except you," Namiko scoffed.
"Look, Sebastian, without music, this place just isn't home," Ariel explained.
"You know she ain't lying," The turtle pointed out.
"Ain't no comeback to that," The stingray agreed.
"You got that right," The octopus grumbled. Sebastian began to ponder. He suddenly screamed with joy.
"Are you okay?" Ariel shuddered.
"Ariel, you're right! Without music, this place just isn't home. I know just where to go!" Sebastian exclaimed. The others rushed out of the cell, and we worked on escaping Atlantica.
