At night after a storm, a mermaid named Ariel swims to the surface. She jumps in and out of the water before gazing upwards at the moon.
"Ah, the night sky is so beautiful right after a storm..." whispers Ariel. Some driftwood floats in front of her; curious she sees a man unconscious on another floating driftwood not far away from her. She gasps and swims to save him. After successfully bringing him to shore, she admires him, as he's a human.
"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, and I could be part of your world..." sung Ariel. She brushes her hand against his cheek as he slightly opens his light blue eyes before she finishes singing. Noticing he was regaining consciousness, she quickly heads back into the water. As man goes unconscious again. A while later, he wakes up holding his head as it throbbed. Slowly standing he walks towards the sea, "The girl who rescued me...Her voice..." he said.
Two moray eels watch in the water….

Sora pilots the Gummi Ship to the next world. Andi in her seat with her arms crossed really annoyed.
"Come on Andi! I won more than fair and square, especially when you try to cheat" said Sora glancing at Andi.
Andi looked away from him swinging her leg that was over her other leg, "whatever" muttered Andi
Sora sighs with his head down,
"Sora!" exclaimed Donald
Sora looks back up and sees they are about to hit something. Sora trying to swerve around was not quick enough as the Gummi ship takes a hit. Swirling as it goes down to another world that looked like lots of water. Sora trying to get control.
"Sora! Watch out!" exclaimed Goofy as they hit the water that lead them under the sea. They enter the water with a burst of magic, scaring away a school of fish.
"Oh boy! Under the sea again!" said Donald who bottom part was part octopus.
"Uh-huh!" replied Goofy who was transformed into a turtle.
"Whoa!" said Sora who was part blue dolphin merman.
Andi trying to hold her breathe under the water. Unable to figure out why she can't swim. Sora, Donald and Goofy notice this; Sora struggling to get over to her, grabs Andi's wrists, "Breathe Andi!" said Sora getting worried as Andi was about to go unconscious. She breathed in, coughing from breathing in so fast in her hands that she ripped out of Sora's grip. Andi looks at Sora shocked. "How? How are we breathing under water? and what is everyone!" said Andi looking down at herself then at Sora, Donald and Goofy.
"It's my magic!" announced Donald
Andi's top half was only covered with two red shells that were attached with some rope to keep it in place and on the bottom half right underneath her belly button on her hips was a sweetheart shaped orange mermaid bottom with white color wings at the sides. Her dark brown hair was still wavy but down from her ponytail which stopped at her waist. A sky blue sea flower held up her hair on the left side of her face. Her pendent was gone as was Sora's crown pendent.
"Are you ok?" asked Sora,
"I would be if it weren't for that awful landing you did" said Andi flatly.
"If you weren't pouting I wouldn't have hit something" said Sora angrily.
"You were the one driving! You should have been watching where you were going!" exclaimed Andi
"Ah...There they go again" said Donald at Goofy watching as the two teenagers ague with each other. Ariel, Flounder, and Sebastian swim into the Undersea Courtyard towards the group.
"Sora! Donald! Goofy!" said Ariel happily.
Sora stops arguing with Andi and looks at Ariel with a smile, "Uh...hi there!" replied Sora as Ariel swims around him.
"You forget how to swim already?" asked Ariel
"Kinda, I guess"
"Who's this?" asked Ariel swimming around Andi as well. Andi looks at her in awe.
"This is Andi." said Sora not looking at her. Ariel stops and looks at her closely, "You're also from the outside world aren't you?" asked Ariel excitedly. "Ah..." replied Andi not knowing how to respond.
"Are you a keybearer?" asked Ariel.
"I am a keybearer" replied Andi
"Then you are! You're so lucky!" exclaimed Ariel swimming around Andi again. Andi tries to watch Ariel with great difficulty trying to figure out how to swim around.
"Den you boys and lady got to practice! You follow Flounder-he show you what to do" said Sebastian.
"C'mon, Sora, you can do it!" encouraged Flounder
Flounder swims off. As Sora gets some pointers he swims to Flounder.
"Yes, that's it! You're a quick learner, Sora!" commented Flounder.
After a few more swimming reminders...
"That's much better!" said Sora smiling. He looks at Andi who was still struggling with learning. He sighs shaking his head as he swims up to her who looks down very frustrated with herself. She hears someone swimming up to her and sees Sora in front of her with his hand out at her. She takes his hand and he pulls on her as he shows her how to swim.
"Like this Andi" he said trying to show her. Andi copying him, he lets go and watches Andi swim around now, She smiles and swims back to Sora circling around him. "Thanks Sora"
Sora smiles back at her.
"Now den... What brings you three...I mean...what brings you four into de sea? Is something going on?" asked Sebastian.
"Kind of" replied Sora
"But everything SEEMS peaceful" commented Goofy
"Oh, everything's fine...as long as Daddy's in a good mood" replied Ariel.
"Your father?" asked Andi.
"King Triton is Ariel's father and king of Atlantica" said Flounder.
"Oh"
"Hey, we got us a concert very soon. Why don't you sing in my musical extravaganza? Please say yes! Ariel's been acting strange lately. But she might settle down and practice if you're dere, too" said Sebastian.
"That sounds fun!" commented Donald
"Let's give it a shot!" said Sora.
Goofy and Andi just nodded.
"Excellent! Now den, I teach you everything you need" said Sebastian excited.
"Er, what do we have to do?" asked Sora nervously.
"It's easy! All you gotta do is feel de rhythm! Hear de beat and put a little shake in it! Ready? Let's go!" explained Sebastian.
Sora dances for a little bit, then spins around and back flips with his arms outstretched and a smile on his face. "Dat's it! Okay, Donald. Your turn. You do it just like Sora. Den he see what you got"
Donald dances and spins around, with his arm outstretched. "Dat's it! Goofy, it's you, now. You think you can do better?"
Goofy also dances as much a turtle can dance, and spins around happily. "Dat's it! Andi, it's your turn" said Sebastian.
Andi dances and twirls around as her white wings giving a allusion of a dress twirl.
"Whoa!" said Sora in surprise by Andi.
"Great job! Dis time Sora, you gonna dance with Ariel! Remember, don't miss de beat!" Sora dances with Ariel, who spins around him. They both pose.
"Dat's it! Now we jammin' with de bubbles! De rules is de same-you gotta stick to de beat" Bubbles form out of a hot air tube and pop on cue.
"Dat's all dere is to it" said Sebastian.
"Gawrsh, I don't know..." replied Goofy
"Any time you wanna sing in a music masterpiece you just come see me" said Sebastian as he swims away.
Sora turns towards the group, "what do you guys think?"
"Sounds like fun!" replied Goofy
"Let's do it!" exclaimed Donald
They all look at Andi, nervously she pushes her hair behind her ear; "Sure"
"Great, I'll tell Sebastian" replied Sora as he swam up to Sebastian.
"Sure, we'll give it a try!" said Sora quickly.
"Break a fin!"
"Here goes nothing!" muttered Sora.
Sebastian strikes up the band.
"Swim this way, we'll dance and we'll play now" sing Ariel and Sebastian.
Sora and Ariel dance inside the center shell on stage.
"It's very easy, come on in! Just take a chance and shake a fin!"
"Let the music move you! You can do it!" said Sebastian bouncing to the music.
"Don't be shy, let the music inside. And dance, dance, dance!"
Sora and Ariel cross their hands over their heads and spread them out wide.
"See, you can do it!"
"Swim this way, we'll dance and we'll play now. It's very easy, come on in! Just take a chance and shake a fin!"
Ariel grabs Sora and they swim upwards.
"Watch the stage, now! How exciting!"
A brightly lit outer shell opens revealing a smaller shell, that rises up above the stage.
"See the sign? Can you reach it in time? And tap, tap, tap?" sung Ariel. Ariel shows off the shell. Sora taps the shell, and it opens, revealing Andi shaking her hips to the drums; smiling.
"Yeah, that's it, mon!"
A pod of dolphins swim in. "Swim this way, we'll dance and we'll play now. It's very easy, come on in! Just take a chance and shake a fin! And if you can't reach the target, use magic!" The dolphins swim in a circle in unison around the stalactite chandelier, slowly making the circle smaller, then swimming out from it.
"It's all the same, if you've got steady aim. Just zap, zap, zap!" Sora and Andi circle around and both stomp at the Chandelier summoning their keyblades and send out balls of lightning, which light up the chandelier
"There, you got the rhythm now!"
"Swim this way, we'll dance and we'll play now"
Some jellyfish do the wave back and forth as angelfish swim past. "It's very easy, come on in! Just take a chance and shake a fin!"
Donald dances next to an octopus. Goofy bops next to Flounder. An octopus plays drums, while the blow fish are on horns. Andi is spinning in a circle of sea stars smiling and swims up to disappear. "It's not over yet! You can do it-keep going!"
"Swim this way, we'll dance and we'll play now. It's very easy, come on in! Just take a chance and shake a fin!"
Ariel dances in front of stage light. She twirls around and poses.
"Now, what about the bubbles?"
"Just a touch, cause it won't take too much to pop, pop, pop" as Sora touches the bubbles gently as they pop and back flips then swims away.
"Ha ha! On to the next one!"
"Swim this way, we'll dance and we'll play now. It's very easy, come on in! Just take a chance and shake a fin!" sing Ariel, Sebastian, Flounder, Andi, Donald and Goofy dance inside shells, as the band plays.
"Drum solo! Here's the sign. Give him the cue!" Sebastian points with his wand to the octopus on drums
"Count him in so he'll know to begin to drum, drum, drum!" The octopus drums on cue
"Now the cues are up to you" told Sebastian
"Swim this way, we'll dance and we'll play now"
Sora and Ariel swim toward each other.
"It's very easy, come on in! Just take a chance and shake a fin!" They touch, dive, and spin.
"Here's your big moment! Make 'em cheer!"
"Don't dilly-dally, it's your big finale! Sha-la-la!"
Sora and Ariel turn around each other, dancing, and pose. "You made quite a splash! That was fantastic!" commented Sebastian.
Sebastian joins Sora and Ariel in the middle shell "Swim this way, we'll dance and we'll play now. It's very easy, come on in! Just take a chance and shake a fin!" everyone sings. "Swim along, just join in the song. A musical for everyone to have a lot of finny fun" sung Ariel. Everyone poses toward Ariel, who has her arms outstretched, as the song ends.
"Sora, Andi, you were amazing!" commented Ariel
"Hey! I wanna sing more lines!" complained Donald
Ariel giggles, then swims away as King Triton arrives.
"Your Majesty! We have visitors!" said Sebastian
"King Triton!" greeted Sora.
"I certainly hope there hasn't been a need to use that Keyblade of yours" replied King Triton.
"Nope. Everything's fine. Not a Heartless in sight" said Sora
The King nods
"Your Majesty, our guests, dey wanna sing in de musical" announced Sebastian.
"Well, that sounds like a splendid idea. We may need your help after all... You see, I'm afraid Ariel's still infatuated with the human world. A busy rehearsal schedule might be just the thing she needs to stop thinking about life up on the surface" said King Triton
"What's wrong with that?" asked Andi as Sora covers her mouth but a little too late.
"Who are you?!"
"This is Andi. She's the new keybearer" explained Sora with a nervous smile.
"What's against the surface?" asked Andi
"Humans. She doesn't need to be around them" said King Triton
"Why?"
"I'm sorry. King Triton we'll keep her busy" said Sora giving Andi a glare.
"Good. Maybe you should also tell your new keybearer manners" said King Triton flatly as he looks angrily at Andi
As King Triton disappears. Sora looks at Andi with his arms out not knowing what to say at first, "What was that?" asked Sora
"I was just asking him what was wrong with the human world. Maybe if he didn't make it forbidden maybe his daughter would have some fascination with it." said Andi flatly looking at Sora with her arms crossed.
"Maybe...But-"
"No it's not maybe. It's the truth. Men are just clueless" said Andi swimming away.
Sora sighs as he looks down. "He's still the King. Just trying to keep you from trouble." muttered Sora looking down.

Prince Eric walks along the beach.
"Swim along, just join in the song. A musical for everyone to have a lot of finny fun" sang Ariel
"That's the voice I heard! I'm sure of it!" said Eric talking to himself.
He starts to heading into the water.
"Hello!? Where are you hiding? I know you're the girl who saved me.
Please, come out so I can thank you" called out Eric

Andi is talking to Ariel both laughing and Ariel looks up. Sebastian swims up to Ariel. "Ariel? Dat girl's acting strange again. Probably been flittin' around on da surface... Ohhh, da Sea King's gonna have my claws for dis!" muttered Sebastian.
"C'mon, we gotta keep rehearsing!" encouraged Sora as he swam up to Ariel and Andi.
"I'm sorry, but I don't feel like it" said Ariel and swims away. Andi looks at Ariel then glancing at Sora before she looks away with her arms crossed.
"No! Ariel!" yells Sebastian
"I've got an idea, Sebastian" said Flounder.
"You do?" asked Sebastian
"I know how to cheer Ariel up! C'mon, follow me!" As Sebastian, Goofy and Donald start following Flounder.
Sora looks a swims up to Andi seeing she's not following the group. He looks back at the group then swims toward Andi and circles around her. She watches him closely, giving her a smile smile. Andi shakes her head and smiles back at him. "You need to quit doing that!" said Andi
"What?"
"Smiling at me" answered Andi
"Man, make your mind up! When we were at Hollow Bastion and you wanted me to smile now that we're here you don't want me to smile" teased Sora.
"Yeah! When I'm mad at you. You aren't allowed to smile at me. Makes it hard staying mad at you" replied Andi
"Well then I'll defiantly smile more when you're mad" chuckled Sora
"Not funny!" giggled Andi as she swims up from Sora circling her. They see that the group is getting farther away. They catch up with them and follow Flounder to a sunken ship area.
"Over here!" called Flounder. They see a sunken ship with a large statue underneath it, "See..." said Flounder
"Oh, no! Dis must be from de human world!" exclaimed Sebastian.
"I found it after that storm- And I bet it's from a shipwreck. Don't ya think Ariel's gonna love it?" asked Flounder.
"But if de Sea King finds out about dis..." replied Sebastian
"It's better than going to the surface!" said Donald
"C'mon, help me move it" said Sora.
Sora, Donald, and Goofy try to lift the rock off the statue.
"It's no use. Hey where's Andi?" asked Sora looking; Flounder, Donald and Goofy didn't answer as they looked around and saw she was missing. Andi sneaks behind Sora having a finger to her lips at the others who saw her. She smiles and jumps at Sora. Sora jumps, turning his head and sees Andi with her arms around his neck smiling from behind.
"Andi!"
"What?"
"I'm going to get you!"
Andi starts to swim off and Sora chase after her around the sunken ship. The others watch as they swim off.
"Goofy, Donald help me" called Sora.
"Can't catch me yourself, Sora?" asked Andi teasing him.
She swims out of sight. Sora looks around then swims to the bottom and hides waiting for as Andi starts on zoom by him. He smiles and tackles her, both roll on the deck floor. Andi laid on top of Sora both laughing.
"Ok, you got me" said Andi giggling.
"...What would Roxas think about you and Sora..."
Andi remembers what the stranger said and gasps when she realizes she's on top of Sora. She looks away and gets off of him, turning her back to him; Sora pushes himself up and looks up at Andi. "Andi?..."
Andi turns at him with one of her hands up to her head trying not to give him to much eye contact. They just look at each other for a long moment as they heard the others coming, they look at the group. Sora glances at Andi who wouldn't look at him anymore; "So, what do we do now?" asked Sora looking at his friends trying to change the subject,
"We can't lift it" said Goofy.
"What about spells?" asked Andi quietly.
"Tried, didn't work either" said Donald.
"So it has to be a spell we don't know yet?" asked Andi.
"Well then we'll have to come back until then" replied Sora.
Andi nodded and swam away. "Andi! wait up!" yells Sora as he watches her not stopping.
He looks towards Flounder and Sebastian; "We'll be back" said Sora as Flounder and Sebastian nodded and Sora, Donald and Goofy follow Andi...

Author's Notes: In case Anyone was wondering I was thinking Andi's lower fish half looking like a Betta fish I think they look really pretty. What the heck is going on?! Is Andi's heart showing more then what she's realized. What is going to happen now she realizes what the stranger was talking about before? Or was he only trying to get into her head into thinking there's something between them? Guess you'll have to find out! Please Fave and Review! Oh by the way whoever thought Andi was going to win...Shame on you! It's Sora we're talking about!
