Chapter Three:

Roxas comes on the surface to see that the shadow was from the ship. The sky is already dark, but is lightened by firework.

Roxas:*excited by firework* Wow!

Goofy and Donald comes on the surface as well.

Donald: Roxas, what are you… *sees firework, scared* Jumpin' jellyfish!

Roxas goes closer to the ship, Goofy follows.

Donald: *shouts* Roxas? Roxas! You come back there!

Merman climbs on ship and looks around it. There are sailor all over the ship, dancing and playing on instruments. There is also a red dog happily barking around. Suddenly he smells something. Dog smells until he comes to the Roxas's hiding place. Roxas quickly hides. When he wants to check if the coast is clear that dog appears again, licking Roxas's face.

Roxas: *quietly says* Yuck!

?: Come here Red! Good boy.

Merman watches the dog. Dog goes back on the ship to the girl with a sketchbook. Roxas looks on her with a detail. She had a beautiful long blond hair and those sparkling blue eyes. He couldn't stop watching her.

Princess Namine:*stroking the dog* Good doggy! *tries to show her a merman* What is it? Did you find something?*goes to the fence and looks, Roxas quickly hides* What did you wanted me to show, Red? There's nothing there. * goes back on the ship*

Roxas: *watches her again*

?: *says loudly* Hey there, kiddo! Quite a show, eh?

Roxas: Sora, be quiet. They'll hear you.

Sora: *says quietly* Ooh, I got ya. I got ya. We're bein' intrepidaceous. *says loudly* We're out to discover!

Roxas:*quickly holds Sora's beak* Will you just be quiet? They'll see me.

Sora: Then get off the ship if you don't wanna be spotted.

Roxas: But, I've never seen a human this close before.*looks on the Namine who is playing with a dog* This one is so beautiful, isn't she?

Sora:*looks on the dog* I don't know. She looks kind of hairy and slobbery to me.

Roxas: *smiles* Not that one. *shows on the princess* The girl, not a dog.

Suddenly princess's bodyguard comes.

Axel: Silence, silence. It is now my honor and privilege to present our esteemed Princess Namine with a very special, very expensive, very large birthday present. *shows on big package*

Namine: Oh, Axel, you shouldn't have.

Axel: I know. Happy birthday, Namine.

One of the sailors opens the package. In it is a beautiful statue of Namine.

Namine:*excited* It looks just like me. So beautiful! Thank you Axel. *hugs him*

Axel: Glide you like it! I commissioned it myself.

Namine: Really?

Axel: Of course, I had hoped it would be a wedding present.

Namine: Oh, come on Axel. Don't start. You're just mad because I didn't fall in love with that stupid prince. They're all the same! None of them likes the sea and exploring like I do.

Axel: Oh, my! But, Namine, it isn't just me alone. The entire kingdom wants to see you happy settled with the right boy.

Namine: *looks towards the sea* Oh, he's out there somewhere. I just… I just haven't found him yet.

Roxas happily looks at her.

Axel: Perhaps you haven't been looking hard enough.

Namine: Believe me, Axel, when I find him, I'll know. He will come to me… in a speed of lighting.

Suddenly storm starts making itself.

Sailor: *shouts* Hurricane a-comin'! Stand fast! Secure the riggin'!

Axel: Go to your cabin! Fast!

Namine: *says loudly* Quit treading me like a girl! I'll stay her and help!

Axel: Ok, just be careful.

Namine: I will, don't worry.

Sailor: *shouts* Stand fast! Secure the riggin'!

Namine along with the sailors starts setting a ship for a storm. It starts raining, blowing and ship starts shaking.

Sora: *holds on the rope and tries not to be blown away* Whoa! The wind's all of a sudden on the move here! *wind blows him away* Yo! Roxas!

The big waves start lapping against the ship. Sailors are hardly controlling the ship. Roxas holds on the rope, but he falls back in the sea. He comes on the surface, watching ship again. Suddenly a lightning strikes into the sails and casts a fire. And that's not all. Ship also hits the sea reef. Everyone jumps off the ship, directly into the sea. Fortunately one of the sailors brings a lifeboat and everyone goes in. Suddenly barking is heard. Namine looks towards the ship and realizes that her dog is still on the ship, stuck under the pieces of wood.

Namine: Red! *jumps in the sea and swims towards the ship* Hold down, I'm comin'!

Axel: Princess! Come back!

Namine: *shouts* Not until Red is safe!*climbs on the ship and goes to Red* Don't worry, I'll help you. *takes pieces of wood off the dog* Come on boy! Let's go! *runs along with a Red to the fence* Jump into the lifeboat, Red! You can do it!

Dog jumps in the lifeboat. Namine tries to jump to, but her leg is stuck.

Axel: Namine!

Suddenly an explosion destroys a ship. Sailors and Axel are watching it with horror. Roxas sees it to and quickly starts looking for a Namine. He finds her, slowly sinking in the sea. Merman takes her in his arms and carries her towards the seashore. It's already a day when he gently puts her on seashore. Sora flies here too.

Roxas:*frightened* Is she… dead?

Sora: It's hard to say.

Sadly looks at princess again and realizes one thing.

Roxas:*happily* Look! She's breathing.*sights* She's so beautiful. *starts singing again*

#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?#

Goofy and Donald come on the seashore as well. Donald watches open mouthed.

#Where would we walk. Where would we run.#

Sora closes Donald's mouth.

#If we could stay all day in the sun?#

Namine opens her eyes a bit, to see a foggy picture of Roxas.

#Just you and me and I could be. Part of your woo-oo-orld.#

Suddenly he hears barking. That dog, Red is running towards him along with Axel. Roxas quickly returns in the sea.

Axel: Namine? Namine! Oh, you're alright my dear.

Namine: *looks towards the sea* A boy… rescued me. He… He was singing. He had the most beautiful voice.

Axel: Ah, Namine, I think you've swallowed a bit too much seawater.

Namine: But, it's true! He was really here!

Axel: Sure, sure. Let's go back in the palace.*helps her walk towards the castle*

Roxas is still watching them, behind the rock.

Donald: We just gonna forget this whole thing ever happened. The sea king will never know. You won't tell him. I will stay in one piece.

But Roxas, doesn't listen to him. He only continues singing.

#I don't know when. I don't know how. But I know something's starting right noo-oo-w.#

Sun shines through the clouds.

#Watch and you'll see-ee. Someday I'll be-ee-e. Part of your…#

Wave hits the rock, which Roxas is on.

#Woo-oo-orld!#
