Chapter 15: Kiss the Girl
Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter. Now this chapter is gonna finally explain a question all of you have been wondering for a while. I hope you like what I have planned. Please Review and Enjoy.
The next morning, Attina was with Ruby in her room brushing her hair.
"Wow, you're really good at this." Ruby said.
"Lots of practice helping my sisters. Besides Ariel I have 5 others and I'm the oldest." Attina said.
"Wow, big family. I bet you have lots of fun together." Ruby said impressed.
"We have our ups and downs. I bet you and Leo have had lots of fun." Attina said.
"Yeah Leo's the best brother I could ask for. So how did you meet him?" Ruby asks.
"There was a little trouble at my house and Leo came and knocked some sense into my father." Attina said causing Ruby to giggle.
"I know what that means. Leo must've been angry." Ruby smiles.
"Totally. Not many people have the courage to stand up to our father. Most people can be afraid of him at times." Attina admits.
"Sounds like my brother. I would love to see your family sometime." Ruby said.
"Uh I'm not sure if that would go well." Attina cringed before she finished brushing. "All done."
Ruby turns to the mirror and looks at herself. "Wow, I look amazing."
"It's no big deal really I just—" Before Attina could finish Ruby gave her a small hug.
"Come on, let's get ready for Hula." Ruby said leading Attina out.
Meanwhile in town, Leo was showing Ariel around and boy was she loving everything he was showing her.
At a small café, Ariel and Sebastian sat down as Leo walked over with 2 mugs.
"Here try this. It's called Hot Chocolate." Leo said as Ariel looks at the brown liquid with marshmallows and whipped cream.
Ariel looks at it curiously before taking a sip before sticking her tongue out and fanning herself because it was so hot causing Leo to laugh.
"It's got "Hot" in its name for a reason." Leo said as he blew softly on his before sipping his.
Ariel looks at him and mimics him blowing on her drink before taking another sip and smiling.
Lifting her head up Leo saw some whipped cream on her nose.
Peeking his head out Sebastian saw Leo wiping Ariel's nose causing her to giggle.
Next they went to went on a small nature walk and Leo had his hands over Ariel's eyes.
"Alright just hang on and…okay open them." Leo said taking his hands off.
Opening her eyes, Ariel looks in awe at the beautiful view of the rocky cliffs by the ocean as the sun was right over it.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" Leo asks as Ariel nods.
Looking down Ariel saw Flounder in the water below them smiling and nodding his head happy for them.
As the day came to an end, Leo had taken Ariel out to the water.
Peeking his head out of the water, Flounder saw Leo in his swim trunks while Ariel was wearing a purple bikini set.
As the two of them got on a surfboard he paddled out to water and the two of them watched the sunset.
"What is going on? What are they doing?" Flounder asks as Sebastian swam over.
"All day they've been together and not once has that boy tried to kiss her." Sebastian said.
"But the day is almost over." Flounder said.
"Ugh if you want something done right. You gotta do it yourself." Sebastian said swimming underwater and grabbing a piece of long seaweed to use as a conductor's rod before swimming up to some turtles and octopi. "First we got to create, the mood."
(Play Kiss the Girl)
Percussion
Strings
Winds
Words
There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl
"What was that?" Leo asks but Ariel shrugs seeing Sebastian was up to something.
Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
It's possible she wants you, too
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl
Sing with me now
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
My, oh, my
Look at the boy too shy
He ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Ain't that sad
Ain't it shame, too bad
You gonna miss the girl
As the sun setted the moonlight shined down on both of them and Leo couldn't take his eyes off Ariel.
Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it soon
No time will be better
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl
As if on cue all the sealife around them danced around making the mood as romantic as possible including fireflies flying in around them.
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don't be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You wanna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Float along
Listen to the song
The song say kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Music play
Do what the music say
You wanna kiss the girl
Slowly, Leo and Ariel moved closer towards each other and all of them smiled as their heads moved and they were about to kiss.
You've got to kiss the girl
Why don't you kiss the girl
You gotta kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl
(Song End)
However right as their lips were about to touch something hit the surfboard knocking Leo and Ariel into the water.
"Ariel." Leo gasps as she clung to the board. "Hang on I've got you."
Sebastian facepalms seeing their moment was ruined.
Little did they know Floatsam and Jetsam were swimming away laughing because they were the culprits.
At her cave, Ursula was watching the whole thing.
"Good work boys. That was a close one, too close. The little tramp, she's better than I thought. She's as annoying as her mother was. It's time Ursula took matters into her own tentacles." Ursula said grabbing a set of ingredients.
Swimming over to her cauldron Ursula threw them in creating an orange light.
"Triton's daughter will be mine! And then I'll make him and the rest of his family writhe. I'll see him wriggle like a worm on a hook." Ursula laughs as the light transformed her into a human girl.
On the outskirts of her cave, the Hunter Shark was leading Triton and his daughters to it when an orange light shot out of cave and towards the surface.
"What was that?" Adella asks.
"I don't know but if Ariel and Attina are here we better move fast." Arista said.
"No kidding." Andrina said as the Hunter Shark swam in through the hole.
"Girls get behind me." Triton said as he swam in and they saw the remains of Ursula's cave.
"Did someone live here?" Arista asks.
"If so what?" Aquata asks when Triton noticed all the strange vials and beakers.
"Ursula." Triton realized when he saw the shark gesturing to Queen Athena's crown. "What do I do?"
Swimming over the shark dropped the crown in the cauldron and instantly Triton figured out what he was saying.
Aiming his trident at the crown he fired a blast into it and suddenly the crown glowed brightly as the shark started to glow green in response to it and in the center of it a bubble appeared.
"What's going on?" Alana asks.
"I think I can explain that." A voice said.
Looking to the Hunter Shark the trident reacted to it and from the spirit of Kai Rivers appeared. "Hello there."
"A human?" Alana gasps.
"Well I used to be." Kai said when Aquata and Arista gasp remembering him from the photo at Leo's house.
"Wait, you're Leo's dad." Aquata said.
"That was you who saved him from Marina." Arista realized.
"Guilty as charged." Kai said.
"That's very interesting but why are you a shark?" Andrina asks.
"The Hawaiians believe that when we die our spirits go to the see. Nice to know I didn't end up as a little guppy." Kai smirks.
"Why did you bring us here? I thought you were gonna help me find my daughters." Triton asks.
"Try learning some patience first you oversized blobfish if you want to help your family you are gonna listen to me first." Kai said.
"What?!" Triton growls at the insult.
"Wow, no one has ever called father, that before." Alana said.
"He is definitely Leo's father." Aquata said as her sisters nod in agreement.
"You need to see something. It's what happened the day my submarine went down…from both our perspectives." Kai said as an image appeared in the bubble and they saw Kai's submarine swimming through the ocean.
Inside Kai and the crew were taking notes the machines.
"See anything boys?" Kai asks.
"Hmm some pretty cool looking fish but nothing out of the ordinary." One said.
"What's the rush Kai? Have somewhere you want to be?" Another smirks.
"Just want to make sure I get back to family in one piece. I got a little girl on the way." Kai said.
"Oh another kid huh?"
"Yep I can't wait to reach dry land again." Kai said.
Little did they know they were right above Ursula's cave and didn't notice an evil grin on the sea witch's face.
"Ooh humans. Haven't seen any around these parts. I should give them a gift and maybe in return they'll help me with my own problem." Ursula said.
In the submarine, Kai was going over the last of everything when suddenly something hit them causing the whole thing to rattle along with something breaking.
"What the hell was that?!" Kai asks as he looks around to see half the crew was knocked out from that. "Oh no."
"Sir, the engine's been damaged!"
"What?!" Kai gasps.
"We're going down!" He said as another explosion went off.
A good distance away, we see a young Triton laughing as he picked up all the girls in both his hands.
"Easy Triton you better not drop them." Athena laughs.
"My queen sometimes I think you worry too much." Triton said as he put them down.
"It's because I worry that you even listen to me." Athena smirks patting his cheek.
"I have something for you." Triton said reaching around his back before pulling out the little music box.
Slowly Athena opens it and the song begins to play.
"Endless Sky." Triton smiles.
"Our song." Athena smiles.
"Our song." Triton smiles.
Zooming out the current Triton sniffled at the memory. How happy he was when he was with his queen before zooming back in to see Triton and Athena take the girls home.
"Your majesty! Your majesty!" Looking over they saw Sebastian swimming towards them.
"Sebastian? I told you, it's my anniversary. Can't we have one day off?" Triton asks.
"Sire, it's an emergency. Look!" Sebastian said pointing to the submarine going down.
"What is that thing?" Athena asks.
"It's something of the humans no doubt." Triton said.
"Wait a minute." Athena takes out her mirror and holds it up. "Show me."
A beam of light shines towards the submarine and inside she gasps seeing Kai try to save his crew as he tried fixing the controls.
"They're in trouble. If we don't do something, they'll all die." Athena said.
"Athena we can't. Interacting with humans is not our way. The second you save them they'll probably tie you to the end of that contraption." Triton said.
"He's right my Queen. Humans are not to be trusted." Sebastian said.
"Even so, we are not humans. Things don't have to be like they once were as long as someone is willing to make the first move." Athena said grabbing her mirror and swimming off.
"Athena no!" Triton said as he turned to Sebastian. "Sebastian get the girls home."
"Of course, your majesty." Sebastian said as a young Ariel looks up at her parents before heading back to Atlantica.
At the underwater wasteland, the submarine was wobbling on the edge of a cliff as Kai helped the entire crew over to one side so they didn't fall over.
"Hang on guys. I sent an SOS call. Hopefully they'll be here soon." Kai said when the submarine started to shake and wobble causing Kai to cringe in fear when suddenly a light enveloped them.
Confused Kai ran to the window and gasped seeing Athena firing a green beam from her mirror lifting them away from the cliffs.
'I don't believe it…a mermaid.' Kai thought in awe.
"Just hang on." Athena cringed trying to pull the sub to safety when Ursula swam in behind her.
"Athena? Well this is a surprise." Ursula said.
"Ursula? What are you doing here?" Athena gasps.
"Just enjoying the show. You can't save them. It's a doomed attempt." Ursula said.
"I have to try, please help me." Athena begs.
"Oh I'll help you alright." Ursula said taking out a dagger causing Kai to gasp.
"Look out!" Kai screams as Ursula struck Athena down right in front of him.
"When you banished me, I lost everything so it's only right that you lose everything in return." Ursula said as she pulls Athena's crown off her head and toss her down with the sub causing them to fall off the cliff and sink.
"And the first member of the royal family falls. You have only yourself to blame Athena." Ursula smirks reaching for the mirror when rocks under it broke and it sunk out of her grip.
At the bottom of the ocean, the submarine crashed into the ground creating a giant hole.
Using whatever strength, he had left Kai swam out of the hole towards Athena who was barely keeping her eyes open.
Looking up to Kai she sighs. "I'm sorry. I thought I could make a difference." Athena said before her eyes closed and her music box rolled away from her.
Laying her down next to the sub Kai frowns. 'I'm sorry Leo, guess we won't be going snorkeling when I get back.' Looking up he saw a horrified Triton swimming towards them before he ran out of oxygen and everything went black.
Zooming out we saw the look of horror on all their faces.
"Ursula attacked my submarine knowing your mother would come to our rescue and when Athena was distracted, she killed her. I saw it all." Kai said.
"I don't believe this." Aquata said.
"Mom." Arista said on the verge of tears.
"All this time, we thought it was humans." Andrina said as Triton tightened his grip on his trident.
"Ursula." He growls in rage.
"Our families have suffered enough because of that witch." Kai said.
"I agree." Triton said as he pulled the crown out ending it. "Thank you. Let's go save our children."
Kai nods as his sprit goes back into the shark.
"We have to find Ariel and Leo before it's too late." Alana said.
Late at night, Leo was sitting outside on the hammock before looking to the house to see Ariel sitting on the porch petting Stitch who seemed to enjoy the attention.
"Well this is a surprise." Leo turns to see Jumba walks over to him.
"Oh hey Jumba." Leo said as Jumba sat down next to him.
"You've been acting different since human females arrive." Jumba said.
"Just being a good host." Leo said as Jumba sat down next to him.
"No it's more than that. Evil Genius Jumba has seen that look before because he wore that look before. When I first met ex-wife." Jumba shudders.
"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Leo cringed.
"For Jumba it was a nightmare, but…as evil as Jumba is at the beginning it wasn't so bad." Jumba admits. "While my relationship was not meant to be it doesn't mean yours is not."
"Wow Jumba, maybe you're not so evil after all." Leo smirks.
"Meh, don't get ahead of yourself. You're just easier to live with when you're happy. If you love this girl you shouldn't wait." Jumba said getting up and walking away.
Leo smiles softly as he got up out of the hammock when suddenly he heard an enchanting voice.
"That voice." Leo said as he looked down the path towards the water and saw a teenage girl in the shadows singing when suddenly a golden light from the shell around her neck shined causing Leo's eyes to widen as he had fallen under some sort of trance.
