Chapter 14: Reunited at Last
Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter. Sorry about the wait I got a little caught up in my other stories. I hope you like what I have planned. I put in one of my favorite bits from the movie. Please Review and Enjoy.
On the beach, Leo and Stitch were watching Ruby and her hula class rehearse for their big dance recital.
"Am I too late?" Leo looks to see Pleakley in his wig and dress run over. "My little Ruby's big moment is coming." Pleakley said taking a photo.
"Wow Pleakley, you're taking to the role of our Aunt." Leo cringed.
"I know don't I look gorgeous?" Pleakley asks.
"Well…" Leo cringed as Stitch stuck his tongue out grossed out.
"Hmph beauty is the eye of the beholder." Pleakley scoffs as Leo and Stitch look at each other with weird expressions on their faces. "Ooh there's Ruby, it's her turn." Pleakley said excited.
"Choota." Stitch said.
"Yeah, just our luck." Leo agrees as they both sat down at a table and had a glass of water. "Hey Stitch can I tell you something? But you have to keep it a secret. Don't tell mom, Ruby, Pleakey, Jumba or even Red."
Stitch pauses for a second before nodding.
"Yesterday I swear, I thought I saw her when I was in the water. Her voice, it was still as amazing as I remember." Leo said as Stitch turned his confused before remembering seeing Ariel briefly before she threw a starfish at him.
"Hmm." Stitch said pausing to think.
Little did both of them know in a small lagoon nearby Attina and Ariel were laying against the rocks as Sebastian and Flounder were exhausted from carrying both girls to the surface.
Turning around Ariel looks down and gasps seeing that it worked. She had human legs instead of fins causing a big smile to appear on her face.
Looking at Attina, she shook her sister softly. "Ugh what is it Ariel?" Attina groans when Ariel sees she had legs too. "No way, it worked." Attina said blown away.
Ariel looks at Attina confused at how this happened and why she still has her voice.
"Attina how did you get tied into this?" Sebastian asks.
"I guess when I swam in to help Ariel I got caught up in the spell but since I didn't sign the contract I didn't lose my voice." Attina realized.
"Wow so does that mean Attina also has to get Leo to fall in love with her too?" Flounder asks as both girls wobble trying to get used to their new legs.
"What?!" Attina said slipping and falling into the water. Groaning she looks to see Athena's mirror on the rocks. "Phew at least we still have this."
"Oh great we have a mirror, but look! You two have legs! Human legs! My nerves are shot! This is a catastrophe! What would your father say? I'll tell you what her father say, he'd kill himself a crab!" Sebastian panics grabbing Flounder. "I'm gonna march meself straight home right now."
"Sebastian no!" Attina said as Ariel grabbed him and shook her head.
"Don't you shake your head at me, young lady. Maybe there's still time. We can use Athena's mirror to give you back your fins and if we can get that witch to give you back your voice you could go home with all the normal fish and just be…" Sebastian stopped when he saw the look of sadness on Ariel's face. "Just be miserable for the rest of your life."
"Don't worry Ariel, I'll help you." Attina said.
"Me too." Sebastian sighs. "How are we gonna find Leo?"
Ariel looks around and they noticed the Hula recital giving her an idea.
After finally getting the hang of their new legs Ariel and Attina snuck over and put on hula tops and grass skirts.
"Alright girls get ready." Moses said as Ruby, Myrtle and her gang walked on stage when he noticed Attina and Ariel. "Ah there you are."
"Huh? Us?" Attina asks pointing to them.
"I thought you weren't coming for another hour, this is great." Moses said as they walked up on stage.
"Ooh who are those new hula ladies?" Pleakley asks getting Stitch's attention as he looked up and his eyes widen seeing Ariel behind Ruby and her class.
"Goocha! Goocha Leo!" Stitch said before looking in Leo's direction and running to get him.
As the music started Ariel and Attina looked to the little girls in front of them and tried to mimic their movements when Sebastian tried to avoid getting crushed as he scuttled on stage. Lifting her foot up Ariel misses him but ends up nudging Ruby causing her to knock into Myrtle and her friends.
"Oh way to screw up again Ruby." Myrtle groans.
"Hey it wasn't my fault." Ruby said.
"Please it's always your fault." Myrtle said.
"Yeah." All of Myrtle's friends said.
Attina looks at them ganging on the little girl for no reason and the protective sister in her walked over and walked up to her.
"Hey you shouldn't just blame others for no reason." Attina said.
"Except when it's this weirdo." Myrtle glares.
"Werido huh? Hmm well is it weird that your outfit smells like seaweed?" Attina asks.
"Seaweed?" Myrtle asks sniffing around. "No it doesn't."
"See not nice to blame others for things, but to show you I'm reasonable here's a little something as an apology." Attina said holding out her hands to reveal she was covering something.
Myrtle looks at it excited when suddenly she opens it to reveal Sebastian and almost instantly Myrtle screamed before stepping on some real seaweed and falling on it.
Looking up at Attina, Ruby was in awe as Attina walked up tp her.
"Hey are you alright?" Attina asks.
"Are you single?" Ruby asks.
"Oh my." Attina said surprised by this.
"Not for me, for my brother." Ruby said.
"Who's your brother?" Attina asks when Stitch backstage and stopped in front of Ariel.
"Bark. Bark." He said.
"Stitch what is going on with you?" Ariel turns and almost instantly she comes face to face with Leo causing both of them to look at each other in shock. "A-Ariel?"
Ariel smiles and spoke as if to say yes but no voice came out.
"What's wrong?" Leo asks.
"She can't speak." Attina said getting his attention.
"Attina? You too. I see you've met my sister." Leo said.
"Wait, this is the little sister you told me about?" Attina asks.
"Leo you know them?" Ruby asks.
"Ruby this is Attina and this is Ariel." Leo introduced and almost immediately Ruby squealed hearing Ariel's name.
"What's going on?" Attina said covering her ears.
"She's just excited. What are you two doing here?" Leo asks when he noticed the mirror strapped to Attina.
"Call it a visit." Attina said.
'Wow for Arista and Aquata and now these two? Are the other three coming next?' Leo thought.
"You have two have to come over I want to hear everything." Ruby said.
"Hold it. Hold everything." Pleakley said walking over. "You two do not honestly expect me to let you walk around dressed like that do you?"
Both Ariel and Attina looked at each other confused.
At Leo's house, Pleakley in his room sewing something for Attina and Ariel while Ruby, Jumba, Red and Naia sat with Leo in the living room.
"So we finally get to meet the famous Ariel." Naia said.
"Her sister Attina was pretty neat too." Ruby said.
"When did my son become so popular? And where did such a big family come from?" Naia asks.
"It's like they just come out of the water or something." Jumba said.
"You have no idea." Leo mumbles.
In the room, Sebastian was trying to find a good place to hide when he ended up walking right into Red.
Looking down the robot scanned him. "Loose crustacean in the house." A vacuum opens up causing Sebastian to scream as he was sucked up before shot into a water tank. "Crustacean safely returned to its proper tank."
"I wouldn't call that safely." Sebastian groans as he climbed out but ended up slipping and landing in Naia's purse as Pleakley walks out.
"Attention everyone." Pleakley said getting their attention. "I give you our lovely guests for the evening."
Walking out Leo sees Ariel walk in wearing a purple t-shirt and green shorts. (Google Ariel Wreck It Ralph outfit)
"Wow, you look amazing." Leo said causing Ariel to giggle softly at the compliment when Attina walks out wearing an orange shirt, with mahogany shorts.
"I tried to get the headpiece out but she just wouldn't say no." Pleakley said.
"Sorry, kinda attached to this." Attina admits.
"I like it." Ruby smiles.
"So Ariel how did you and my son meet?" Naia asks.
Ariel wanted to say how but couldn't. Pausing to think she mimed instruments.
"Uh trumpets? No uh Piano? Music." Ruby guesses causing Ariel to nod before she danced a little.
"You two met at a place where there was music and dancing." Naia realized as Ariel nods and smiles.
"Wow I didn't know you could dance." Ruby teases causing him to chuckle nervously.
"Would you two like to join us for dinner?" Naia asks.
"We'd love to." Attina said.
"You go, Jumba wants to stay and use this peace and quiet." Jumba said walking to bed.
"Would you two mind making sure he doesn't blow the house up?" Naia asks.
"Affirmative." Red nods.
"Sure Naia." Pleakley said.
As Sebastian tried to get out of the purse, Naia walked over and grabbed it taking him along with them.
At a very nice seafood restaurant they the 5 of them walk in.
"Oh man I love this place." Ruby smiles as they sit down.
"My father took my mother here when they were dating and they just fell in love with the place." Leo smiles.
"Aw how sweet." Attina said as Ariel sat down next Leo and Sebastian fell out of Naia's bag.
"Ugh that was horrible." Sebastian said scurrying out from underneath the table when a foot came by and kicked him into the kitchen.
"Oh my goodness, Naia is that you?" The kicker said.
Looking up we see a woman with black hair, a bun and an apron. This was Carlotta.
"Carlotta, long time no see." Naia smiles hugging her old friend.
"Hi." Ruby and Leo wave.
"Ruby? Leonard? Look at you two, you're so big." Carlotta smiles hugging them.
"Hey cut it out." Leo said when she noticed Attina and Ariel.
"And who are these two lovely ladies?" Carlotta asks.
"This is Attina and her sister Ariel, they'll be staying with us for a while." Naia said as Ruby tapped Carlotta's shoulder and leaned in.
"I think Leo has a crush." She whispers causing Carlotta to giggle.
"Just like his father. Well let me see if I can get you all something tasty." Carlotta said walking to get them some bread.
Ariel looks to the table and when she saw a fork and when she picked it up was totally confused what to do with it.
Looking over Leo saw Ariel run the fork through her hair like a comb and instantly he laughed as he tapped her shoulder.
"You use it like this." Leo said using the fork to pick up a piece of bread and when Ariel mimicked him she at the bread causing Leo to smile and laugh.
"Leonard I haven't seen you smile like that in a long time." Carlotta said walking over.
"Yeah lately he's just been so happy." Ruby said.
"So Carlotta any recommendations?" Naia asks.
"Oh Chef Louis is making his specialty, stuffed crab." Carlotta said as Ariel and Attina pause hearing that.
In the kitchen, Sebastian groans as he looks up and gasps to see so many fish themed dishes. Including stuffed crabs when he suddenly heard a humming and saw a French chef with a big hat and an even bigger mustache. This was Chef Louis.
(Play Les Poissons)
Les poissons, les poisons
How I love les poisons
Love to chop and to serve little fish
First I cut of their heads
Zen I pull out their bones
Ah mais oui, ça see'est toujours delish
Les poissons, les poisons
Hee hee hee, haw haw haw
With the cleaver I hack them in two
I pull out what's inside
And I serve it up fried
God, I love little fishes, don't you?
Here's something for tempting the palate
Prepared in the classic technique
First you pound the fish flat with a mallet
Then you slash through the skin
Give the the belly a slice
Then you rub some salt in
'Cause that makes it taste nice
Seeing all this Sebastian was horrified and scarred beyond belief, but as he tried to sneak away Chef Louis noticed him on the counter.
Zut alors! I have missed one
Sacre bleu, what is zis?
How on earth could I miss
Such a sweet, little succulent crab?
Quelle dommage! What a loss
Here we go, in the sauce
And some flour, I think just a dab
Then I stuff you with bread
It don't hurt, 'cause you're dead
And you're certainly lucky, you are
'Cause it's gonna be hot
In my big silver pot
Tout à l'heure, mon poisson!
Au revoir!
Louis tried to throw Sebastian into a pot but Sebastian avoids it and lands back on the counter getting his attention.
"What is this?" Louis asks as Sebastian pinched his nose causing him to scream in pain.
Landing on a pot, Louis tries to grab the little crab only for him to get burned by the stove and scream in pain as Sebastian drops the pot on his foot.
Growling in anger Louis grabs multiple knives and threw them at Sebastian who runs under a table avoiding it.
Taking out a huge cleaver, Louis cuts the table in half only for Seabstian to run past him and towards where they kept all their dishes.
Roaring in anger Louis screamed as he leaped at Sebastian with a mallot.
In the restaurant, everyone was enjoying themselves when they heard a loud crashing and smashing noise startling them.
"What was that?" Leo asks.
"I better go see what Louis is up to." Carlotta said running to the kitchen where they saw everything was destroyed.
"Come out here pipsqueak! Fight like a man!" Louis yells.
"Louis!" Carlotta yells getting his attention. "What is going on here?"
"I-I-I uh…I'm sorry madame." Louis said as she took the dishes towards the table.
"You know Leo since these two are gonna be here why don't you show them around the island." Naia suggests.
"Are you sure? What about Ruby's Hula class? The big recital is coming up." Leo said.
"Actually you think I could go with your sister? I kinda like this hula thing she does." Attina said.
"Really? Thanks." Ruby smiles.
"Yeah thanks Attina, that means a lot." Leo said as Carlotta placed the dishes down but when Ariel looks down at Naia's plate she saw Sebastian was hiding there.
Acting quickly she gestures for the crab to scuttle over.
"Well you two are making quite an impression. We better eat before this crab scuttles off my plate." Naia said putting her fork down only to see nothing was there.
That night at Leo's house, Ariel and Attina were in the guest room as Sebastian was groaning in pain.
"This has got to be without a doubt the single most humiliating day of my life." Sebastian said picking lettuce off him. "I hope you appreciate what I go through for you, young lady."
"At least you didn't get eaten." Attina said when she looked out the window and sees Ruby practicing Hula.
Looking over Ariel smirks at her.
"What? Ruby's a nice little girl. I forgot what it was like to hang out with a kid sister." Attina admits.
Ariel rolls her eyes saying if you say so.
She was about to walk to the bed when she heard a familiar music.
Popping her head out she looks across the hall to see Leo listening to the music box causing her to smile widely that he kept it.
"Alright we need a plan to get that boy to kiss you. Tomorrow you need to look your best and really make sure Leo falls for you." Sebastian said as Ariel lays down in bed.
"Sebastian I don't think you'll have to worry about that." Attina smirks picking up her mom's mirror and looking at her reflection.
"Something on your mind?" Sebastian asks as Ariel fell asleep.
"It's just so much our lives have changed because Leo ended up finding this mirror. Makes you wonder how he ended up with this in the first place." Attina said.
"It's a mystery, but maybe it was for the best he was the one to find it." Sebastian smiles.
"Yeah maybe you're right." Attina agrees before turning off the light and going to bed.
In Atlantica, Triton had discovered that Ariel, Attina and Sebastian were nowhere to be found after his outburst and he had sent out a search party to find them.
In palace, Triton and his daughters met up in the throne room when a seahorse swam in.
"Any sign of them?' Triton asks.
"No your majesty. We've searched everywhere. We found no trace of your daughters or Sebastian." He said.
"Keep looking, leave no shell unturned, no coral unexplored, we cannot stop until they are safe at home." Triton orders.
"Yes sire." The seahorse said before swimming away.
"Daddy." Alana said as Triton sat down.
"I'm sorry." Aquata said.
"No…it's all my fault. I messed up again. I wish…I wish that human boy was here right now." Triton admits surprising them.
"Leo? Why?" Arista asks.
"To knock some sense into me again. In all my years as King he was the only living creature to talk to me like that. Part of me was outraged by that, but most of me respected him for saying what needed to be said." Triton said.
"The only other person to talk you like was Ariel." Adella said surprising him.
"I just…didn't want to lose her." Triton admits.
"Daddy, no matter what happens we'll always be your daughters and that goes for Ariel and Attina. We'll find them." Arista said causing Triton to smile softly.
"Leo had a word for family, what was it again?" Triton asks.
"Ohana." Alana said when suddenly something swam over them.
Looking up they saw a Hunter Shark swimming towards them before stopping in front of Triton.
"Yes, can I help you?" Triton asks as the shark drops something that was in its teeth into Triton's hands causing him to gasp. "I don't believe it."
"What is it daddy?" Andrina asks as Triton lifts it up to reveal a crown.
"This was your mother's crown." Triton declares surprising them.
"Mom." They all said.
"Please do you know where my daughters are?" Triton asks as the shark swam up and gestured for them to follow.
