The small fishe's voice was filled with worry for his friend "Ariel are you ok?" Ariel was lying on a rock in the center of the room and frowned turning the dinglehopper around in herhands. "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." Sebastian covered his mouth to prevent himself from screaming, or maybe from fainting. No he still felt like fainting. His eyes grew wider every second he listened to the private conversation. He and well, every other fish in the sea knew about the little mermaid's fascination with humans but he didn't expect it to go to this level of obsession. He quickly reined in his shock as he peered around a harp ready to give that girl a talking to. "Look at this stuff. Isn't it neat?" Ariel asked and for a second time Sebastian stopped. The cave was small around, but it was deep, going far under the sea floor a small hole at the top opening up allowing light in. The limestone sides had been carved by the tides of the ocean into shelves, it was the perfect secret place for Ariel's collection. Glasses, pocket watches, cases full of things Sebastian didn't know the names of. It was stunning actually. "But who cares...I want more," she continued with a shrug. Sebastian raised an eyebrow, more? "I wanna be where the people are. I wanna see, wanna see em' dancin'. Walkin' around on those. Wadda ya call em? Oh. Right. Feet." Flounder laughed as she playfully tugged at his tail fin. Humph. Sebastian rolled his eyes but followed them as they swam up Ariel staring longingly at the surface. Scowling Sebastian came face to face with his reflection distorted in a vase and swam quickly backward into a strange kettle. He shook the thing trying to escape when it started to roll. Towards the edge of the shelf, no no no! Off the edge, it shattered and Sebastian flew out onto a jack in the box. Grabbing vainly for something to stop his fall his claw caught a sheet and he pulled it and all the other items stacked on in down. Flounder hid in an old knight's helmet startled at the sudden noise and Ariel gasped. "Sebastian!" The little crabs scowl somehow got deeper as he was all tangled up in Ariel's human junk. A teapot on his back, a pipe in his mouth on top of an accordion and all wrapped up in necklaces. He angrily spat out the pipe and fell off the squeaking instrument dislodging most of the things from his back. "Ariel! What are you! How could you! What is all this!" "It's uh- my collection..." she said wringing her hands nervously. "Oh. I see. Your collection." Sebastian nodded smiling at a hook that's string was caught around his leg. "If your father knew about this!" Flounder darted over getting right up in Sebastian's face "You're not gonna him tell are you?" Ariel pleaded along with him. "Aw please Sebastian he would never understand." "Ariel. You're under a lot of pressure down here," he said changing his tactic now trying to placate the headstrong teen. "Come with me," he said grabbing her hand "I'll take you home and get you something warm to drink." Ariel broke out of Sebastian's grip and stared up. "What do you suppose?" A large shadow passed over the cave blocking out the small hole of light at the top." "Ariel?" Sebastian reached for her hand again but she was already out of the cave staring up at the dark shadow. The silhouette of a boat drifted dark on the surface being lit up by colorful lights whose explosions could be heard underwater. "Ariel!" She swam quickly up brushing her bangs and water out of her eyes as they covered her face. The boat was magnificent, it's three sails made an amazing out line in front if the full moon and lights danced around on the deck and in the sky. She giggled as Flounder and Sebastian surfaced next to her. "Ariel, what are you- jumping jellyfish!" Sebastian almost fainted again failing at first to notice the reason she had come up. "Ariel! Ariel! Please come back!" He called out but the girl was already gone, swimming towards a new adventure.
