Chapter 7: Under The Sea
It was a Friday afternoon and the Tomoeda school had been rehearsing for it's annual play which was about to start. This year it was The Little Mermaid. (you know that in this school, boys act the roles of girls and girls act the roles of boys) Ardash was playing Ariel (the mermaid, while Nicole was playing Eric (the prince).
"I can't believe I have to use a skin coloured T-shirt with two big clams in front and a long, green fish tail!! I look so ridiculous!!" Ardash groaned and everyone giggled
"I am going to take so many pictures!!" Nicolas laughed mischievously
"You are so mean!!" Ardash said
"I get to use your Mother's costume for her Sleeping Beauty act!" Nicole said
"They've even decided to have the act in the swimming pool! Kind of like an aquatic ballet!!" Mercedes said
"People! Into positions!!" Professor Ryu shouted because their parents had already entered and Ardash got on a rock in the middle of the pool while Nicolas, Mercedes, Daphne and Barbara got into the Control Room because they were in charge of lights and narration, Ben, a boy in their class (who was Ursula, the sea-witch with a costume of a dress with tentacles) went into a dark part of the pool and Nicole went behind a curtain that was behind the pool.
"Oh, poor me! A lonely mermaid tired of swimming!! All I want to do is become human and join the human prince whom I've just rescued from a shipwreck!!" Ardash said dramatically
"You don't have to swim all your life, deary..." Ben said, appearing all of a sudden beside Ardash
"With my magic... I could turn your fins into feet and you could live with your human prince! If you give me your voice, I will grant you legs for three days! If the prince kisses you, you may stay, but if he doesn't at the end of three days... You will be mine!!" Ben said evilly.
"Well, what do you say?" Ben asked
"An aura!!- I mean I accept!" Ardash said quickly, sensing an aura around him.
And so the act went on and just as Nicole was about to kiss Ardash, a huge wave sent the audience flying, and knocked them all unconscious (even Ben, the teachers and everyone except the people in the Control Room, who were the group of kids) and broke a lot of electric wires.
"Key who holds the power of darkness, reveal yourself to Ardash/Daphne/Barbara who accepted this mission with you Release!" The Card Captors chanted and their wands came out, and all of a sudden, a Clow Card in the shape of a mermaid arose from the water
"Use your cobwebs to ensnare it! Spidery!" Barbara shouted but the Clow Card escaped through the holes in the cobweb and started shooting powerful streaks of water at Ardash but he said
"Help me swim as fast as light! Dash!" but the Clow Card somehow managed to manipulate the water and made strong currents that didn't let Ardash swim away.
"Hey guys! Use the wires!" Nicolas cried from the Control Room and Daphne said:
"Use your breeze to shock the card! Windy!" And Windy swept up the electric wires and threw them at the Clow Card who got electrocuted.
"Now Watery, return to the humble form you deserve Clow Card!" Ardash shouted from the water and the Clow Card turned back into its card form (which was called "The Watery") and entered the Clow Book. (Windy and Spidery also entered the book)
And so the kids revived everyone and after a while the play continued with the scene that Nicole had to kiss Ardash (while Nicolas was furiously and devishly clicking away on his camera).
