Chapter Two:
Busted
Scuttle heard the singing of the passing ship but only the term 'mermaid' stuck out of the song. But being on land all the time that wasn't too big of a shock, for he knew the tales that human females tell their daughters about creatures that had the tail of a fish and a torso of a human. And the parents called these 'strange' creatures merpeople. Scuttle was happy that they got the term right at least.
At this time the singing grew much louder and he heard the whole song now.
"I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue; And it's hey to the starboard, heave ho; Look out, lad, a mermaid be waitin' for you; In mysterious fathoms below."
"Hey that's a catchy tune!" thought Scuttle, and he started humming the tune he had just heard.
Down in the depth of the ocean, Ariel was getting in trouble for not being at the concert.
"Ariel you should have been at the concert. You know how much this meant to me! Why weren't you there?" asked her father King Triton.
"Well we were exploring a sunken ship, and time got away from us." said Ariel.
"And the Shark, the Squid, and that babbling seagull didn't help!" muttered Flounder under his breath.
"What was that Flounder?" asked King Triton.
"Oh- I said that me getting stuck in kelp didn't help!" said Flounder just dodging another bullet, and a very upset father. "But don't worry your majesty, I am safe now!"
"Flounder you really are a guppy." said the king.
"At least I know where she gets that from!" exclaimed Flounder.
"But why did it take you so long you are normally for about two hours, you were gone all morning!"
"Well I forgot about the concert until Scuttle…" slipped Ariel.
"Scuttle? Who's he?" asked her father very curiously. "I mean every fish in a forty knot radius was at the ceremony. And you are still too young to go off into other waters!" added her father getting more impatient with his daughter with each passing second.
"He's a seagull father." Ariel had finally given up.
"A SEAGULL?!" screamed the King. "YOU WENT UP TO THE SURFACE AGAIN, DIDN'T YOU? DIDN'T YOU?" he continued screaming, getting more, and more angry whit each passing second.
"But daddy," pleaded Ariel. "nothing happened to us, and no one saw us." argued Ariel.
"THIS DOSEN'T EXCUSE THE FACT THAT YOU WENT UP TO THE SURFACE AGAIN! AFTER I TOLD YOU VERY EXPLICLITLY TO NEVER RETURN TO THE SURFACE!" King Triton was now calming down. "They are monsters, they a-are… barbarians!"
"No they are not barbarians daddy" shouted Ariel.
"And you know this how?"
"Because, daddy, I have seen them!" Ariel blurted out without thinking, and quickly swam away before her father could get worked up.
"What's 'da matter your majesty?" asked the small crab by the Kings side.
"Well Sebastian, I don't know what I did wrong?"
"Nothting sire. You know what I say, teenagers, you give them an inch, they swim all over you." said Sebastian.
"What am I going to do with her Sebastian?" asked the King.
"She needs constant supervision." said Sebation
"Constant?" asked the King.
"Yes constant." repeated the crab.
"You're absolutely right, And YOU are just the crab to do it!" added the King.
"Ariel where are we going?" asked Sora.
"To my Grotto, just wait until you see it Sora, it's got all these treasures that I've collected!"
As Ariel opened the grotto, she let Flounder, and Sora in, Sebastian saw this and swam as if he were trying to outrun a fishers net.
"How do I get myself into these situations? I should be writing symphonies - not tagging along after some headstrong teenager!" cried the crab.
After Sora and Flounder went in, she finally let herself in. The grotto shone from the light glistening off the reflective surfaces from the light from above.
"Wow Ariel it is beautiful!" exclaimed Sora. "How long did it take for you to get all these treasures?"
"Why thank you Sora! and they're not treasures, this is my collection!"
"May I ask an impertinent question?" asked Sora.
"Besides the one you just asked?" asked Ariel trying to be humerous.
"Why does your father not want you to go up to the surface?" asked Sora.
"He says that humans are too dangerous!"
"Well that doesn't excuse him from making your own mistakes!"
"If only I could make him understand. I just don't see things the way he does. I don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things - could be bad. Look at this stuff,isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collection's complete? Wouldn't you think I'm the girl, the girl who has ev'rything? Look at this trove, treasures untold, how many wonders can one cavern hold? Lookin' around here you'd think, sure, she's got everything." she started to sing, swimming upwards up to about halfway up the grotto.
"I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty," she continued singing. "I've got whozits and whatzits galore, you want thingamabobs? I got twenty! But who cares? No big deal, I want more! I wanna be where the people are. I wanna see. Wanna see 'em dancin', walkin' around on those, whad'ya call 'em? oh – feet! Flippin' your fins you don't get too far, legs are required for jumpin', dancin'! Strollin' along down a what's that word again? Street. Up where they walk, up where they run, up where they stay all day in the sun wanderin' free, wish I could be, Part of that world!" she kept swimming al the way up to the highest part of the grotto.
"Why if your father knew about any of this..." trailed Sebastian.
"Your not going to tell? Are you?" asked Ariel.
"I hadn't thinking about it but now that you bring it up..." Sebastian thought out loud.
"Oh please don't." pleaded Ariel.
"No, I am not gonna tell da king, but you owe me big time Bub!"
"Bub? Her name is Ariel!" said Sora.
"Yes Sora, I know." said Sebastian.
"Than why did you call her Bub? Asked Sora.
"Never mind about the Bub! She just owes me for not telling!" said Sebastian.
