King Triton sat on his throne, excited to see his daughters in the concert his servant, Sebastian, had planned. "And Kairi will be here?" he asked anxiously.
"Yes, she has the most beautiful voice," commented Sebastian in his Caribbean accent. Then he added, muttering, "If she would only come to REHEARSALS..."
All the merpeople chattered enthusiastically, waiting for the performance. Suddenly, a hush descended over the crowd gathered, as the curtain of bubbles swung aside, revealing two giant shells. The shells opened, and six beautiful mermaids emerged, singing.
"Oh, we are the daughters of Triton
Great father who loves us and named us well
Aquata,
Andrina,
Arista,
Atina,
Adella,
Allana
And then there is the youngest in her musical debut
Our seventh little sister, we're presenting her to you
To sing a song Sebastian wrote, her voice is like a bell
She's our sister-"
A third shell had emerged, and began to open. Suddenly, the sisters gasped, as the shell fully opened.
It was empty.
"WHERE IS SHE!" cried King Triton, enraged. Which, just for future reference, wasn't a rare thing.
"Come on!" cried Kairi, signaling to the small yellow fish swimming behind her. "It's just up here!"
"I-I don't think we should-" started Flounder, looking around him nervously.
"You think too much!" Kairi chided playfully. Her violet eyes flashed.
"B-but," Flounder stuttered, shaking.
"This is the only chance I'll get to explore this ship," said Kairi. "Besides, nothing bad will happen."
They had gotten to the shipwreck, and Kairi squeezed through one of the portholes.
"I don't think we should be doing this!" Flounder squeaked.
"Fine, then," called Kairi, swimming away. "You just stay out there and watch for...sharks." She stopped and waited for a moment, knowing that would get him.
"Yeah, I'll stay out here and watch for...sharks?" Like clockwork, Flounder tried to squeeze himself through the porthole. "Help me! I'm stuck!"
For a minute, Kairi debated on helping him, but the nice Kairi finally one over, and she tugged him out. "There, now come on!"
Flounder hurried after Kairi. "You...you don't really think sharks are here, do you?"
"Of course not!" Kairi swam around, taking it all in. Suddenly she spied something. "Ooh, shiny..." Kairi swam over to the glinting object, and picked it up. "Look at this!" she exclaimed. It was a fork. She placed it in her bag.
Flounder was so busy worrying, and Kairi looking all around, they didn't notice the dark shape outside.
"Huh, what's this thing?" mused Kairi, picking up a pipe. She placed it in her bag as well.
"You...really don't think there are sharks, right?" Flounder was still nervous.
"No," Kairi sighed, sorry she had brought it up. "There aren't any-"
Suddenly, something smashed through the window. It grinned, mouth full of teeth.
"ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!" screamed Flounder, swimming in circles. "HELLLLLP ME!"
"Woops..." muttered Kairi. "I guess I lied about...the...sharks..."
The shark-
For some odd reason, the story switched to a group of people sitting on the beach in colorful plastic beach chairs. With matching umbrellas.
Sora sipped a fruity tropical drink. "Hey, don't look at me. I didn't interrupt the story to show us in our leisure time."
Kairi was eating a cookie. "Hey, I don't mind."
"Why don't I get a cookie?" Sora whined.
"Shut UP, you two!" yelled the Authoress, Rain, from her plastic beach chair. "Anyway, I'm sure you readers are wondering why I interrupted that...uh...wonderful...action scene."
"Yeah, why did you?" asked Riku. "And I'm warning you right now, I'd BETTER be in this story."
Rain waved a hand at him. "Sure, whatever." She sipped an iced tea. "We interrupted it because...I'm not about to take the time to tell you all about the stupid shark chasing Kairi and that devil-fish Flounder...who IS the devil...around."
Sora sipped his drink again. "Get to the part with me!"
"Do I have to talk to a seagull?" asked Kairi.
"AM I IN THE STORY," threatened Riku.
"Whatever." Rain riffled through some papers. "The actual truth is, besides being lazy, I am also absent-minded and have lost the shark-chase part of the story."
"The truth emerges," laughed Roxas from his seat up in a palm tree.
Rain snapped her mighty Authoress fingers, and the tree snapped as well. Roxas landed in an uncomfortable position on the ground, and it was unclear whether he was conscious or not.
"Back to the story, then," said Rain, as if nothing had happened. "If you don't like the skip, deal with it, or you'll end up like poor Roxas."
-swimming quickly away from the shipwreck.
"That was close," said Kairi, swinging her sack of 'treasures' around, almost hitting Flounder.
Flounder wasn't looking so hot. "It almost ATE me, Kairi!" he wailed. "What kind of friend ARE you!"
"The kind who's not a wimp," Kairi replied simply. "Now let's go see...Scuttle...ugh...to find out what this stuff is."
The Authoress' voice came floating out of nowhere. "Kairi does not like Scuttle the Idiot Bird, contrary to popular belief. Carry on."
"And this is a...a..." Scuttle was saying, up on a rock above the water. "Something." He swung the fork around, almost stabbing himself in the eye.
"That's...nice," said Kairi, choosing her words carefully. "Can I...go now?"
"Well, that's all the stuff you have," Scuttle said, once again pointing out the obvious.
"Yes," Kairi cheered under her breath. "Yes yes yes!"
Woo, long chapter! I have been working on this ONE CHAPTER for a long, long, long long time. And now you have it! Sorry I had to intervene. The shark scene was just so...boring! Maybe I could've spiced it up...but...what's better than seeing Roxas fall out of a tree? Until next time!
