Chapter 12: Kiss the Girl
Jack's POV
The day was ending. So, I thought a boat ride would be perfect. I pushed the boat out into the lagoon.
I rowed the boat. Elsa looked around, not sure what to do.
"Man, what a day, huh." I said, trying to strike up a conversation.
"Yeah it was amazing. Thank you so much for showing me around your kingdom." Elsa said.
"It was my pleasure." I said. I was going to tell her how I felt, but I got too nervous. So, I just went with something subtle.
"Man, great weather we're having."
...
Sebastian's POV
I cringed when Jack said that. He just started talking about the weather.
"Geez man, this boy is an amateur." I said as I jumped in the water. I saw Olaf in the distance. I swam over to him. When I surfaced, I saw that Scuttle was with him.
"Well anything?" Scuttle asked.
Before I could answer, Anna surfaced next to Olaf.
"Hey guys. Has it happened yet? Did he kiss her yet?"
"Unfortunately, not. Elsa did come close last night when she and Jack danced together last night. But some jerk interrupted them."
"Well, what are you going to do?" Anna asked.
"Well what I'm going to do is create the right kind of mood."
Scuttle clapped his feathers together. "Oh Oh, you mean like candlelight and champagne?"
"No, man it doesn't take all that. Everything we need we have right here."
I swam up to some ducks and turtles. "Percussion." They started playing.
I turned to see some crickets. "Strings."
"Winds." As I listened to some reeds blow in the wind. I climbed up on to a plant that would put me near Jack's ear.
"Words."
There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't get 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
Jack looked around confused.
"Did you hear something?"
Elsa shook her head. "Nope."
I motioned for Anna to sing. She swam up and sang with me.
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
The rest of us watched as Jack rowed the boat with Elsa trying to not look bored.
Finally, Jack said something. "Look, Elsa. I want to tell you. I thought it was amazing the things you did today."
Elsa shyly smiled. "Thank you. I just did what was right."
"Yes. You're so pure of heart. I really like that."
Just then lights lit up the sky. Almost as if it was right on cue.
Elsa looked at them. "Wow. It's beautiful."
Jack grabbed Elsa's hand. "Yes, you are."
Elsa looked at Jack and smiled.
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
The other fish in the lagoon started singing with us. Anna and I watched and sang as Jack started looking at Elsa with intensity.
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
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
Jack was so close to Elsa. There lips were about to touch. But then the boat capsized.
"Oh, come on!" I said in disbelief.
…
Elsa's POV
I surfaced out of the water with my hair all over my face. I moved my hair out of my face to see two lights in the distance. They looked familiar, but I couldn't remember.
"Whoa, hang on. I got you." Jack said as he helped me up.
"Thank you." I said.
He picked me up and carried me to the carriage. "I've got to get you back to the castle before you catch a cold."
"But, Jack… don't you have something to say?"
"No. Now let's get you warm." He said as he set me in the carriage and went to the back.
That's when I realized. We had a perfect moment. Just like last night. And it was ruined. Just like that.
Jack came back and wrapped a blanket around me.
"Here, keep yourself warm." He said as she got in the carriage and urged the horse to go.
As we rode back, I wiped a tear from my eye. I was so close, but something went wrong. Now I only had one more day. Or I will lose Jack forever.
…
Gothel's POV
"Nice work, boys." I said as I watched Elsa leave the lagoon in the carriage.
I had been watching Elsa to make sure she didn't kiss that prince. But when she came close in that lagoon, I had Patches and Sideburns overturn the boat.
"That was close. Too close. Maybe this girl is better than her cousin. I can't take any chances. At this rate, he'll be kissing her by sunset for sure."
I grabbed some ingredients to make me a human.
"It's time Gothel took things into her own tentacles. Adgar's daughter will be mine. Then I'll make him squirm. I'll make him wiggle like a worm on a hook. Then I will have the most powerful item on Earth. And I'll take my revenge on Atlantico, and the ocean will be mine!"
I laughed as the spell took over, changing me into the human that would shatter Elsa's heart.
Ingrid!
Now Gothel is going to get involved.
I decided that the Ice Queen from Once Upon a Time's name would be a perfect name for the alter ego for Gothel.
Let me know what you think.
The Song Used in this Chapter was Kiss the Girl from The Little Mermaid
