Chapter 4

Flounder watched in amazement as he saw the people singing and dancing on stage. Mia had taken him to see the a play, The Phantom of the Opera.

"Love me that all I ask of you!" The woman and man who was acting as Christine and Raul sang the last note. Everyone stood and gave the actors of the play a loud cheer.

The fish man led Mia outside. The two smiled at each other keeping silent for several minutes.

"So what did you think of the play? Mai asked.

"Yes, I did that was amazing. If Sebastien were a human he would be directing it."

"I bet. Ariel told told me about how he had to watch the two of you."

Flounder smiled. His blond hair blew in the wind. "It was fun back then."

"I bet. Flounder, what is it like to live in the ocean?"

"It is the most beautiful place on earth. Being a human is nice, but I miss being a fish."

Mia looked down at the ground. "Well, do you think you could take me to the ocean one day?"

"Sure just tell me when and I will take you."

Three months later...

Flounder closed his eyes as he looked at Mia's door. He twiddled his thumbs nervously. Okay, its now or never. he thought. He knocked on the door timidly.

"Come in," Mia answered. The fish man listened to her musical voice and slowly went into her room.

"Oh, hi Flounder."

'H-h-hi, Mi-Mi-Mia, um..."

"Don't be nervous, little fish. You can ask me anything."

"Anything?"

Mia nodded.

The green eyed man took a deep breath. "Will you go to the masquerade with me in a week?"

"I would love to."

Flounder blushed and ran out the room. He went into his room and let out a joyous yell. Now he had to decide what to wear.

....

A week passed and Ariel was helping Mia with her hair. The blonde hair girl grimaced as the older woman began to pull on her hair.

Hours passed and Flounder was waiting for Mia at the end of the palace's staircase. He kept looking up nervously.

"Nervous?" Prince Eric asked.

"I'm not nervous. What makes you think that?"

The black hairied man chuckled. "Well, explainig you keep looking up every few second and the fact th-" his sentence was interupted by Grimsbly introducing the princesses.

Everyone looked up at the stair. Ariel and Mia were making there descent.

When the two royal ladies reached the end Eric took his wife's hand and began to dance with her. Slowly, Flounder did the same to Mia.

"You look absolutely beautiful," he told her.

"Thank you. You look handsome yourself."

Flounder closed his eye as he took in her features. Her long blonde hair was up in a fancy up do, and her green eyes sparkled with her beautiful white dress.

Unaware to the fish boy, Mia was doing the same thing. She smiled as she looked into his green eyes, his soft blond hair, and his blue suite was perfect on him.

"I like your mask," Mia said breaking the silence.

"Thank you. I like your too." Flounder's mask was a gold and Mia's was white.

"Um... Mia."

"Yes."

"I love you." Flounder gave her a quick kiss on the lips. The princess sighed.

"I love you too."

The two danced some more, but unknown to them next week was going to be the start of their biggest adventure.

So what do you think? I am sorry that it took so long for me to update I was at a writer's block. I am not sure when I will have a chance to update again. Wednesday my exams start so it will probably be after that.
