Chapter 12: Part of Your World

Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter, now for this I'm doing my own twist on the first Little Mermaid movie and I think you'll like the twists and surprises I have in store for you all. Also I'm happy to say this story now has over 10,000 view! You guys rock! Please Review and Enjoy.

It had been a month since Leo's family had been put under Galactic protection and three aliens and a robot moved into their house.

In what used to be Leo's room, Jumba and Pleakley had set up a bunk bed while Red set up his recharge pod in a corner of the room as Stitch and Jumba were working on something on their desk.

"Screwdriver." Jumba said holding out his hand.

"Here." Stitch said handing it to Jumba.

"Blowtorch." Jumba said as Stitch handed it to him and flames shot towards whatever he was working on. "Perfect. Leo come in here!" Jumba calls out.

"What's going on Jumba?" Leo asks walking.

"626 has something he wants to give you." Jumba said as Stitch walks up to him with something hidden behind his back.

"What'cha got there?" Leo asks as Stitch reaches around and pulls out Ariel's music box all fixed and looking brand new. "My music box?" Leo said shocked.

"626 brought this to me and we fixed it up. He said that item means a lot to you." Jumba said.

"It does. Thanks buddy." Leo said hugging Stitch.

"You're welcome." Stitch smiles hugging back.

"626 said that object is very precious to you, why is that?" Jumba asks.

"It was given to me…by a girl." Leo smiles.

"Ah love. You know Evil Genius Jumba was in that once." Jumba said.

"You had a girlfriend?" Leo asks.

"Ex Wife, did not end well." Jumba shudders.

"Leo, Jumba! Breakfast!" Ruby calls out.

Heading down, the three of them saw Pleakley and Red helping Naia in the kitchen.

"Wow, you three sure are being quite the help around the house." Naia smiles as Red poured her some coffee.

"Well you are providing food, warmth and shelter after everything we've done." Red states.

"Just think of us as part of the family." Pleakley smiles giving Ruby her breakfast.

"I could get used to this." Ruby smiles.

"Me too." Leo smiles happy because for the first time he literally had nothing to worry about.

"Leo be sure to go out to the Marine Lab soon. I think some lucky fish get to go back home today." Naia said.

"Sure thing mom. Hey Stitch want to come help me?" Leo asks as Stitch nods.

"B-Bark B-Bark." Stitch said practicing being a dog.

"Getting better, try saying it in one word." Leo said.

"Bark." Stitch said as Leo gave him the thumbs up.

"Alright guys tonight's the big Luau and I want you three to try and be on your best behavior." Naia said getting the dishes.

"You all go, I have very important project to do." Jumba said.

"No more crop circles!" Naia calls out.

"Aww! All the other aliens get to make them." Jumba whines.

"I'll come, studying Earth customs is what I live for." Pleakley smiles.

At the Marine Lab, Leo was walking along the docks with a tank in his hands while Stitch was walking behind him carrying 4 tanks with ease.

"Uh Leo, is this thing gonna eat us?" A fish asks nervously.

"Don't Stitch won't bite." Leo said as they put the tanks down. "Alright guys, your time is up. You're all healed and ready to return to the ocean."

"Thanks Leo." The fish smile.

Leo picked them up tank by tank and helped the fishes into the sea across from him hiding under a nearby dock Ariel emerged from behind it and was watching the human boy.

"Leo." Ariel said happy to see him again when she saw him look to the last fish who was a little nervous.

"Hey what's wrong girl? Don't you wanna go home?" Leo asks.

"I'm scared. What if I get hurt again?" She asks.

"You'll be fine, you're going back home, you'll find someplace you belong and you'll be happier than you've ever been." Leo said

The little fish smiles as Leo lowered her in.

Seeing this kind and caring side to him Ariel let out a sigh when Stitch's ears perked up. "Gaba?" Stitch looked around and saw Ariel in the water.

"Uh hi." Ariel said nervously.

"Gootcha! Gootcha!" Stitch said startling her as she quickly dives underwater.

"Something wrong Stitch?" Leo asks as Stitch points to the water.

Leo narrows his eyes not sure what he meant but little did he know Ariel was right under the water looking up at him.

"I miss you Leo." Ariel said when Flounder came swimming in.

"Ariel! Ariel! We got trouble!" Flounder said.

"Whoa, Flounder what's the trouble?" Ariel asks.

"Sebastian's concert!" Flounder said causing her to gasp.

"Oh no I forgot!" Ariel said as they swam away as fast as they could.

Little did they know two eels were watching Ariel and Flounder swim away as each of their eyes glowed.

At an unknown location, a glowing ball that showed Ariel and Flounder swimming away was being watched by a pale-skinned woman with white hair and the lower body of an octopus, this was Ursula.

"Yes, hurry home princess. We wouldn't want to miss daddy's celebration. Ha! When I lived in the palace we had amazing feasts and now look at me. I'm wasting away. Banished, exiled, wasted away because Queen Athena thought my methods were too extreme. Well last time I checked Athena, I'm the one still alive." Ursula mocks. "And now Trition and all his merpeople are celebrating. Well I'll give them something to celebrate about. Floatsam, Jetsam!" Ursula snaps getting the eels attention. "Follow the princess. She might be the key to Triton's undoing."

At the palace, Ariel was standing in front of her father who was sitting on his throne with Sebastian next to him.

"I just don't know what we are going to do with you, young lady." Triton said.

"Daddy I'm sorry I just forgot." Ariel said.

"Because of your careless behavior—" Triton starts.

"Careless and reckless behavior!" Sebastian adds.

"The entire celebration was—"

"Ruined! That's all! Completely destroyed! This concert was to be the pinnacle of my career and instead I'm a laughing stock!" Sebastian snaps.

"I-I'm sorry." Ariel said.

"What were you doing that was so important that you forgot?" Sebastian asks.

"Well—" Ariel said with a nervous look on her face and immediately Triton noticed.

"You went to the surface again didn't you?" Triton asks. "How many times do we have to go through this? What if one of those barbarians had seen you?"

"Leo's not a barbarian!" Ariel said.

"Leo? You're still thinking about that human?" Triton asks.

"So what if I am? I'm 16 years old I'm not a child and Leo has done so much for us. It's because of his help you even allowed us to do that big celebration this year." Ariel points.

"He may be a decent human but how can you be sure other humans aren't horrible? I don't want to see my youngest daughter snared in a net." Triton said.

"Why can't I prove it to you? We could take mom's mirror and we could—"

"No! We are not to speak of you or anyone going to the surface ever again!" Triton said.

"But daddy please." Ariel begs.

"Ariel, he's a human boy and it's been almost a half a year since you last saw each other. He probably doesn't even remember you." Triton said.

"Of course, he does! He has too!" Ariel snaps before she and Flounder swam off.

Sighing Triton sits back in his throne.

"You know I'll admit it, I kinda miss that human too." Sebastian said.

"He was very unique not to mention the only being to ever stand up to me." Triton smirks. "Do you think I was too hard on her?"

"Definitely not, if Ariel was my daughter, I wouldn't have any of this swimming to the service. She would be under tight watch." Sebastian said as Triton got an idea.

"You're absolutely right Sebastian." Triton smiles.

"Absolutely." Sebastian agrees.

"Ariel needs constant supervision." Triton adds.

"Constant."

"Someone to keep watch over her and keep her out of trouble."

"All the time."

"And you are just the crab to do it." Triton said poking him in the chest.

"I am?" Sebastian gasps.

As Sebastian scuttled out of the throne room, Triton looks out the window to see Queen Athena's mirror against the statue of them together. "If you were here, you'd know how to handle her. You always did." Triton sighs.

"How do I get myself into these messes? I'm a composer, not a babysitter." Sebastian said when he notices Flounder give Ariel her bag. "What is she up to?"

Sebastian swims after Ariel and Flounder before seeing them arrive sneaky behind a giant rocks, quickly swimming in Sebastian gasps to see a cavern completely filled with human objects.

"Ariel, are you okay?" Flounder asks.

"If only I could make him understand. I mean look at Leo and where he comes from. I just don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things could be bad." Ariel said.

Look at this stuff

Isn't it neat?

Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?

Wouldn't you think I'm the girl

The girl who has ev'rything?

Look at this trove

Treasures untold

How many wonders can one cavern hold?

Lookin' around here you'd think

Sure she's got everything

I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty

I've got whozits and whatzits galore

You want thingamabobs? I got twenty

But who cares?

No big deal

I want more

I want to be where the people are

I want to see

want to see 'em dancin'

Walkin' around on those

Whad'ya call 'em? oh – feet

Flippin' your fins you don't get too far

Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'

Strollin' along down a

What's that word again? Street

Up where they walk

Up where they run

Up where they stay all day in the sun

Wanderin' free

Wish I could be

Part of that world

What would I give

If I could live

Outta these waters?

What would I pay

To spend a day

Warm on the sand?

Betcha on land

They understand

Bet they don't reprimand their daughters

Bright young women

Sick o' swimmin'

Ready to stand

And ready to know what the people know

Ask 'em my questions

And get some answers

What's a fire and why does it

What's the word? burn?

When's it my turn?

Wouldn't I love

Love to explore that shore above?

Out of the sea

Wish I could be

Part of that world

Suddenly Ariel and Flounder heard a crashing noise and saw Sebastian had fallen on an accordion and a bunch of human items were scattered around him.

"Sebastian?" Ariel gasps.

"Ariel, what are…How could you…what is all this?" Sebastian asks.

"It's just my collection." Ariel admits.

"Oh your collection…If your father knew about this!" Sebastian snaps.

"You're not gonna tell him are you?" Flounder asks.

"Please Sebastian, he'd never understand." Ariel said.

"Try me." Sebastian glares.

"I need to see Leo again Sebastian, okay. All this stuff in here it's so I can go up there since my dad will never give Leo back mom's mirror. My only option is going to him." Ariel said.

"Ariel, do you realize what you are doing? Going through all this for a human boy? Why can't you just find a boy down here?" Sebastian asks.

"Because none of them are like Leo." Ariel said causing Sebastian to growl before calming down.

"Ariel, you're under a lot of pressure. Perhaps we should get you home and—" Before Sebastian could finish Ariel heard something from the surface.

Curiosity getting the better of her, Ariel swam up with Flounder and Sebastian right behind her.

Popping her head up she saw the sun was setting on the beach as a luau was going on.

"Ariel, what is going on?" Sebastian surfaces and gasps. Jumpin' Jellyfish!"

Swimming to the docks, Ariel and Flounder hid under them as she saw humans of all shapes and sizes eating, running around, or listening to music.

"Wow." Ariel climbs up on some rocks to see. "This is amazing." Suddenly from behind her a big wave shot up as she turned around to see Stitch riding the wave and quickly she jumps into the water.

"Aloha." Stitch said.

"Hey watch it." Ariel said throwing a starfish knocking Stitch into the water before he washes ashore.

Looking in awe Stitch shook the water off his fur before crawling onto the beach where Ariel gasps to see Leo wearing swim trunks.

"There he is." Ariel smiles as she and Flounder swam to the docks to get a closer look.

"What is that thing?" Flounder asks.

"I think he's Leo's new friend." Ariel said not sure as Stitch looked to the water.

"What's wrong Stitch?" Leo asks.

"Hmm Hmm." Stitch said before drawing a mermaid in the sand causing Leo's eyes to widen as he kicks sand over it. "Aggaba! Aggaba!"

"Stitch let's just keep that between us right now." Leo said confusing him. "Just trust me on this. Come on, go get something to eat."

As Stitch walked to the table, Leo grabbed his board and paddled out to sea.

"I miss you Ariel." Leo sighs causing her to gasp happily.

"He remembers me." Ariel smiles as a large wave came in for Leo as he stood up to surf, during the first part he did great but as he got close to shore, he saw Sebastian and Flounder near the docks and his eye widen.

"Flounder? Sebastian?" Leo said as he lost his footing and slipped into the water.

Underwater, Leo tried to swim up to the surface when his leg got caught in some seaweed. Struggling to keep hold his breath Leo tried to get his leg free.

"Leo!" Ariel gasps.

Sebastian and Flounder look down and see him trying to get free as Ariel swam down behind and pulled his leg free.

Turning around Leo saw Ariel's smiling face and he gasps causing him to quickly surface for air.

"Ariel?" Leo looks around to see there was no sign of her anywhere. "Was that really her? Or I was just fooling myself." Leo asks as he made his way to shore.

Behind him Ariel smiles softly.

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

If I could be

Part of your world

On the shore, Leo met up with his family.

"So Leo, enjoying the water? Looks like 626 won that little contest." Jumba smirks.

"Uh yeah I uh just thought I saw something in the water." Leo said rubbing the back of his head.

"Anyway Leo, things have been going so well at home have you ever thought of trying to get back out there and have a social life? Make some more friends, maybe meet a girl?" Naia asks as Leo blushes.

"Mom." Leo said embarrassed.

"Ooh Leo's got a girlfriend! Leo's got a girlfriend!" Ruby mocks.

"Knock it off." Leo brushes it off. "When I meet the right girl I'll know it."

"You know Leo, in cases of many planets of the Galactic Federation sometimes the male is allowed multiple mates." Pleakley said.

"Seriously?" Leo blushes.

"Approximately that is the case for hundreds of different cultures in the Galactic Federation and a few here on Earth." Red said.

"Okay I don't need to know this." Leo said standing up.

From the rocks, Ariel watched them until the moon was high in the air and the luau ended.

"Alright we saw our old friend again, let's just forget about all this and head back. The Sea King will never know." Sebastian said.

I don't know when

I don't know how

But I know something's starting right now

Watch and you'll see

Someday I'll be

Part of your world

Little did Ariel know Floatsam and Jetsam were watching her and with their glowing eyes so did Ursula.

"Oh no, no, no, no, no this is just too easy. A mermaid going after a human, where have I seen that before?" Urusla mocks. "Imagine the look on daddy's face. Still Triton's lovesick, headstrong daughter would make a very interesting addition to my collection."

Looking down a corridor, Ursula saw many shriveled up polyps and at the end was a small gold crown on a shelf.
