~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sora, wake up. HEY! SORA!!" Corita said, poking Sora in the head.
"Ow! What do you want?" Sora asked grumpily, sitting up.
"We're almost to the next world! You can see it in the distance!" Goofy said, pointing ahead.
"Oh...well, thanks for getting me up, then." Sora said, yawning.
"No problem. Good thing you're a light sleeper." Corita said.
The Gummi Ship moved along at a steady pace, closing in on the latest world. Peering through the windshield were 3 confused people.
"Um...that's an ocean." Goofy said.
"Yeah! Let's land!" Donald said merrily.
"Are you crazy? If we land in the sea, we'll drown!" Sora cried.
"Not with my magic, we won't!" Donald said cheerfully, putting the Gummi Ship in hover mode and getting out of his seat.
"What exactly are you going to do?" Corita asked suspiciously.
"You'll see. Don't you trust me?" Donald asked.
"Only as far as I can throw you." Corita said truthfully. Donald opened his mouth as if to say something, but closed it quickly after seeing Sora and Goofy's glares.
"Alright. Let's just land." Donald said. "Now, keep in mind, I'm not the best at transformations yet, so don't complain to me if you're kind of weird looking."
"T-transformations?" Corita asked nervously. "I better not have more legs than I do now!"
"Whatever, as long as we don't drown." Sora said, shrugging.
"Alright, I'm going to do this in a basic charm method. Plainly speaking, as soon as you hit the water, you'll transform." Donald said, taking out his staff. "That is, if I don't mess up. If I do, we're likely to all become goldfish instantly and die."
"Then you'd better do it correctly." Corita mumbled.
Donald muttered something as he tapped his staff on the top of each of their heads. An odd, prickling sensation spread through their bodies, and it went away within a few seconds.
"Okay, let's go!" Donald said, slipping his staff away and piloting the Gummi Ship towards the vast ocean.
We're teleporting in this time. If we try to land this ship in the ocean, it'll short-circut and we'll be stuck."
"This seems really risky." Goofy said.
"No worries!" Donald said as he pressed the "teleport" button.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Corita felt as if she'd been pulled through a cheese grater a few times. Her whole body ached, and she was still being pulled forward via the teleportation device. Suddenly, everything came to an abrupt stop, and bubbles erupted all around her. The cool ocean water pressed against her skin. Opening her eyes, she found it was extremely easy to see through the sea. Daring to breath, she took a breath through her nose. Unbelievably, it was like breathing air. Looking down, she gasped at the form she'd taken.
"Donald..." Corita groaned.
"Well, you said you didn't want more legs than you did before." Donald's voice said. Turning her head, Corita saw a half-Donald, half-squid swimming towards her, with bright blue tentacles. "Look at what I'm stuck with!"
"It's better than me!" Goofy said, swimming towards them. Apparantly, Goofy had been transformed into a giant turtle.
"You look very sweet, Goofy." Corita said gently.
"Hey, look at me!" Sora said behind them. Turning, Corita spotted her brother, half Sora, half..."
"What exactly are you?" Corita asked. "Half dolphin or half shark?"****
"I dunno. What are YOU supposed to be?" Sora asked, stifling a laugh.
"A seahorse, silly!" Donald said.
It was true. Corita's top half seemed to still be in a human form, but her bottom half was shaped into what appeared to be a seahorse.
"No legs!" Donald said cheerfully.
Grumbling, Corita swam over to Sora. Suprisingly, it was very easy to move underwater without any legs.
"Well, Donald, I have to give you credit. At least we aren't on the Gummi Ship as goldfish." Sora said.
"Finally, I'm appreciated." Donald said regally.
"Wait...what was that?" Goofy asked. "Shh!"
Everyone went quiet. It was true, there were voices nearby.
"Ariel! Wait! Don't leave me behind!" A voice said.
"Hurry up then, Sebastian!" Said a different voice.
Appearing before them swam a young mermaid. She looked as if she was slightly tired, as if she had swam a long way in a short time. Behind her was a small yellow and blue fish, and then, strugging far back was a little red crab.
"Yikes!" The fish exclaimed as he swam behind the mermaid. The mermaid finally spotted them, and turned to examine them more closly.
"Relax, Flounder. They don't look like one of them." She said to the fish.
"I don't know..." He said quietly. "There's something...different about them..."
"Heheh...what do you mean?" Sora asked nervously.
"Hmm...now that you mention it...they do seem a bit different." She said, swimming around them. "Where are you from?"
"We're from an ocean very far from here..." Sora said slowly. "And we're not really used to these waters..." He finished.
"Oh, I see. I thought you looked a bit different." She said. "Hey, we can help show you around!" She added hopefully.
"Ariel!" The crab said, who had finally caught up to them. "King Triton will not like this!" He cried.
"Oh, relax, Sebastian. They look fine. Besides, I'm not a child anymore!" She said firmly.
"Yes, yes...I know, and I trust you, but-"
"Sebastion!" Ariel cried, pointing away from them. Behind them drifted several transparant jellyfish creatures, swimming eerily through the ocean. They, too, had the Heartless symbol on their bodies.
"Watch out!" Sebastian cried as he and Flounder swam for saftey inside a large clam. Ariel swam to a small indentation in the ocean walls.
"We can take them!" Sora said, swimming towards them in a wobbily sort of manner. Goofy followed him in the same way, but much slower.
"Poor them. They have to move." Donald sighed, taking out his staff and blasting an ice spell through the water. It didn't work quite normally, but it did pelt the Heartless with icy cold water and wet ice.
"Better be careful underwater with spells." Corita said, who had been preparing to cast a thunder spell, but quickly thought otherwise.
After the Heartless had been disposed of, Ariel, Flounder, and Sebastian came out of their hiding places.
"Thanks!" Ariel said. "Those foul creatures chased us here."
"Ariel, there may be more headed towards the castle!" Sebastian cried, swimming away.
"You're right! We should go!" Ariel said. "I'm sorry, but can you come with us to the castle? It's not far."
"No problem." Sora said as he followed the mermaid. Behind them, Donald and Corita were struggling to figure out how to move more than a few feet at a time.
"Problem!" Corita called after them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eventually, all of them had gotten used to swimming through the sea. Not perfect, of course, but good enough to be able to keep up with each other. Ariel was slightly confused.
"Was your old ocean very small? You seem like you've never swam very far in your life!" She said, giggling.
"Yes, it was tiny." Corita said firmly, struggling to get used to swimming with a long tail.
After inching along for a while, they reached the castle that Ariel had been telling them about.
"You live here?" Goofy asked in awe as they approached the gates.
"Yep!" Ariel said proudly.
"Um...people...let's go!" Corita said as several large Heartless jellyfish materialized out of thin air and started chasing them. They didn't have to swim far before they reached the throne room. Sitting on a large, elegantly shaped throne was a large, fierce looking merman.
"That was close!" He cried after zapping the Heartless that had chased them with a large weapon.
"As long as I have my Trident, I will never allow those creatures into my palace!" He bellowed.
"Daddy?" Ariel asked.
"Oh, Ariel!" He said in a dissaproving voice. "What were you doing? It's dangerous out there! When will you listen?"
"I'm fine, Daddy!" Ariel said.
The King turned his head and stared at the group behind Ariel.
"Who are they?" asked King Triton.
"They helped me fight off those creatures!" Ariel said happily!
"They don't look familiar." Triton said truthfully.
"We're from an ocean very far away." Sora repeated.
"Yep!" Goofy said. "We came here to find the Keyhole!" He said, swimming lazily around them.
"The what?!" He bellowed.
"What's that?" Ariel asked curiously.
"Well, it's a-"
"There's no such thing! Certainly not here!" He said.
"Bu Daddy-"
"Ariel, please!" Triton said.
Ariel glared at her father, and then swam off, followed by her new friends.
