Sorry it took so long to update. I had school, chores, and I took a fan apart (just for the fun of it!).

Anyhow, here's chapter 6.

I own nothing except Sapphire, Joey, and the bad guys. And Finney.

"We're in~" Sapphire started.

"Don't tell me. We're in Little Mermaid." Joey muttered.

Sapphire was shocked. "How did you know?"

"'Cuz I'm standing belly-deep in disgusting salt water!" He spat.

Sapphire looked down to see that they were indeed standing in salt water.

Well, sort of.

Sapphire was sitting.

On an aquamarine colored, scaly tail.

Sapphire stared in dumbfounded amazement. Her legs and shorts were gone, but she still had on her shirt. She sat a bit higher, not wanting her backpack to get wet. She eased it off, pulling off her goggles and placing them inside. "Joey, can you carry this to shore?"

He took it gently in his teeth. "Sure. I'm not going any farther out. Have fun."

"Thanks, bud. I'll be back once I get something from Sebastian." And Sapphire squirmed her way off the sand and into deeper water.

Sapphire marveled at the sheer power of her new appendage. Even if she pumped it gently, she sliced through the water as easily as a knife would slice through butter.

Her green eyes flicked back and forth across the vast expanse of ocean. Sea plants swayed back and forth in the current. Brightly colored fish darted around in a carefree manner.

Sapphire did an underwater backflip. This'll be a snap! All I need to do is find Atlantica!

She stopped dead in the water.

Where is Atlantica?

She stopped a passing fish. "Hello. Could you point me in the direction of Atlantica?" Noticing the weird look the fish gave her, Sapphire thought up a lie. "I'm from a different ocean. I don't quite know my way around yet."

The strange look changed to a warm grin. "No problem. I'll take you there. I'm Finney."

Sapphire offered no introduction and Finney didn't ask for one. He just gestured in a direction, seemingly guiding her to Atlantica. She flicked her tail, aquamarine fins waving, and sped after him.

Sapphire, while following the fish, did tricks in the water, flipping, weaving, diving, and trying to see how fast she could go. Finney watched her with interest, but didn't ask any questions.

Soon, the golden city came into view. "Can you find your way from here?" Finney asked, turning to her.

"Yes. Thank you." Sapphire grinned, doing a backflip in the water.

Finney grinned back, amusement sparking in his eyes. "Goodbye, then." He twitched his tail and sped away.

Sapphire flipped her body around and headed to the gleaming palace. About halfway there, a flash of red caught her eyes amongst the green plants of the ocean floor.

Sapphire's heart jumped as she recognized the Jamaican crab sunning on the rocks, fast asleep.

Her tail propelled her down towards the crustacean. She stopped abruptly in front of the rock, but the current that she had created kept moving and swept the snoozing crab off the rock with a startled cry.

Sapphire waited giddily as he clambered back on the rock, groggy gaze edged with annoyance. "Jeez, mon. I was TRYIN' to sleep!"

Unable to stand still, Sapphire begun to circle the rock. "I know. I'm sorry. But I wanted to meet you so bad!"

Sebastian tried to follow her circling form, only succeeding in getting dizzy. "What do you mean? And stop doin' that! You're makin' me seasick!"

"Sorry." Sapphire stopped moving for ½ a second, then started to circle again. "I mean, I'm a huge fan of you!" The 14 year old realized something and slowed to a halt.

What do I get from a crab?

It suddenly came to her. "Do you have a shed shell I could have?"

Sebastian gave her a queer glance. "Why?"

Sapphire was prepared for this question. She flashed him a charming smile. "I'm doing a project on role models. Guess who's mine."

Sebastian straightened proudly, hitching up his shell like it was a pair of overalls. "Well, if dat's de case, I'll go get it for you."

Sapphire giggled inwardly, glee overtaking every cell. She was actually TALKING to Sebastian! "I'll wait here." She watched Sebastian swim clumsily away, towards Atlantica.

Sapphire floated down gently, settling herself on the rock, tail hanging off the side. Her long brown hair waved with the oceans current. She absent-mindedly pulled her fingers through her ever-undoing braid, dislodging dirt and dust. The debris floated up into the water. Sapphire wondered if the oceans residents wouldn't like the extra grime.

Sebastian came back, swimming even more unevenly because of the shell clutched in his pinchers.

He landed on Sapphire's tail, much like the way he did on Ariel's tail in the first movie. He set a red shell, identical to the one he wore now, down on her tail and hopped back onto the rock.

Sapphire fingered it tenderly, raising into the water again. "Thanks Sebastian!" She leaned down and kissed his head, then swam away.

Sebastian stared after the strange mermaid, a tiny smile on his face.

It's nice to meet a fan. Then, he settled down and started to snore again.

Sapphire hit sand again. She was in such shallow water that her head was above the surface. "How does one get legs again?"

She heaved herself up a bit further and she was suddenly aware of her tail splitting. Looking down again, she saw that she once again had her shorts and thin legs. "Ok," she stood up, still ankle deep in water, "Don't know how THAT happened."

She ran ashore and saw a girl near her dog. Roughly 19 years old, a tiara sat atop her red hair. She looked perfectly fine with the sand getting on her long, pink dress. Even without her emerald green tail, Sapphire recognized her at once.

Stepping onto the sand, Sapphire bowed politely to the princess. "Hello, Princess Ariel."

"Hello," the former-mermaid greeted.

"I see you've met my dog." Sapphire rubbed Joey's head and he whined in pleasure.

"Yes. He's very charming."

Sapphire laughed. "Oh, really? What lies has he been feeding you?"

Ariel gave her a confused glance and Joey barked.

Ooooooooh. He's a "real dog" among other people. "Never mind."

Ariel coughed and Sapphire looked up to see a small white ball hovering in the air. Sapphire opened her mouth to welcome it, not even resisting. It skittered down her throat. Before Ariel could ask, Sapphire held up a hand.

"I don't know, so don't ask." Ariel shrugged, but didn't ask.

Joey got up and Sapphire slipped her backpack back on. "Well, we're on a tight schedule. We're pretty busy." She bowed politely, then ran down the shore.

She and Joey skid behind a rock. The brown-haired teen glared at her dog. "Nice move, Joey, not talking. You made me look like an idiot!"

Joey snickered. "I could comment on that, but I won't."

"Anyway, I've decided where to go next." Sapphire retorted. She pulled her goggles over her face, pressed the button, and they disappeared.

"Now that we're all here," King Mickey announced, "let's find out about this girl."

Kaa, Clopin, Lilo, and Stitch were in the throne room. They had all claimed to have seen a girl, roughly 14 years old, before they discovered their loss of talents.

"Brown hair, tied into a braid," Clopin started.

"With a dog," Kaa shivered as he said this.

Stitch fired off rapid Tantalog and Lilo translated. "Blue goggles, t-shirt, shorts, and a backpack."

"That's her," Clopin confirmed.

"Are we all agreed this is the girl?" Mickey asked. All four nodded. "Good. Now~"

"Sire?" The king turned to the guard that had just walked in.

"Yes?"

"Visitor."

Mickey perked. "Send him in."

"Her, sir. Princess Ariel."

The double doors opened and the princess strode in, head high, pink dress swirling around her legs when she stepped.

She bowed in front of High King Mickey and Queen Minnie, the royal couple nodding in response. "Evening, Ariel. Is there a problem?" Mickey asked.

"Yes, your majesty. Recently, I have found out that I can no longer breathe underwater, even in mermaid form."

Everyone gasped. "Were you vissssssited by a girl?" Kaa inquired.

"A girl and her dog? Yes. They were quite nice."

Everyone started talking at once. Mickey shushed them. He sat, a look of concentration crossing his face. "We have to be missing something here. A strange girl and her dog show up and everyone's talents fly the coop."

"Has anyone told him about the little white balls?" Lilo piped up.

THAT got Mickey's attention. "Little white balls?"

"Yeah. Stitch told me that a white ball came out of his mouth and went into hers." The other four agreed to this statement.

"And right after that you couldn't use a special ability." Mickey thought aloud.

It didn't take long for smart Minnie to put two and two together. "So… those white balls were their talents?"

"And now that girl hassssss them!" Kaa hissed.

"Goofy!" Mickey cried. The blundering dog came up and saluted.

"Yes, sir?"

"Send a notice to all 50 Disney kingdoms! There's a girl wandering around and she's dangerous. I want her here as soon as possible. Unharmed, of course."

"Yes sir!" Goofy lumbered off.

"Your majesty, surely four talents isn't a reason to call her dangerous, is it?" Kind-hearted Lilo asked.

The king looked away, distracted. Half to himself, he murmured, "It's not the stolen abilities that makes her dangerous. Her true power does."

Ok, yeah, Finney was a lame name. I didn't bother to think of a better one, since he's just a VERY minor character.

Chapter 7 will be majorly worked on today. Be patient.
