pre style="word-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"Sebastian paced nervously back and forth waving his claws about as he muttered to himself. "O.K. so far, so good. I don't think the king knows." He frowned as a few falling flower petals fell in his face interrupting his rant. "Ohhhhh but it will not be easy keeping something like this a secret so long."
Ariel giggled dreamily, her eyes unfocused, mind obviously somewhere else as she pulled on the flowers petals. "He loves me…he loves me not." She frowned every time that possibility came up with each even petal. "He loves me! I knew it!"
"Ariel! Stop stalking crazy." The crab swam over trying to get her attention, as if it was possible for her to be more smitten with that human.
"I have to see him again – tonight! Scuttle knows where he lives!" Ariel perked up at her idea, it was perfect. She sat up from where she was sitting ready to swim up to the surface that instant to talk to the bird.
Sebastian grabbed onto her fin as she tried to swim away.
"Ariel please! Will you get your head out of the clouds and back here in the sea where it belongs!"
"I'll swim up to his castle. Then Flounder will splash around and get his attention and then with-"
"Down here is you home! Ariel listen to me!" He had to stop her now or else that headstrong mermaid might actually try it! It didn't help that her pesky little friend would probably be perfectly ok with this plan. "The human world, it's a mess. Life under the sea, is better than anything they have up there!" Seeing that his words were getting him nowhere normally he decided to start what he did back. He wasn't just a conductor.
"The seaweed is always greener. In somebody else's lake. You dream about going up there, but that is a big mistake. Just look at the world around you, right here on the ocean floor. Such wonderful things surround you. What more is you lookin' for?"
Ariel slowly floated back down to her rock seat and Sebastian smiled as he strutted. It's working! "Up on the shore they work all day, out in the sun they slave away, while we devotin', full time to floatin', under the sea. Down here all the fish is happy, as off through the waves they roll. The fish on the land ain't happy. They sad 'cause they in their bowl. But fish in the bowl is lucky. They in for a worser fate. One day when the boss get hungry, guess who's gon' be on the plate? Under the sea. Under the sea."
Ariel began to grow slightly bored now. Flounder was returning from his 'little surprise' he had planned to where he knew Ariel would be waiting for him and was surprised to see what looked like half the fish in the kingdom singing and dancing around the small red crustacean. Weaving his way through the fray he saw Ariel sitting on the rock away from the music. He frowned at the fact that his friend was being ignored but quickly smiled again, he still had his surprise.
"It's ready! It's back at our cave are you ready to see it?" he said in her ear to be heard over the music. Ariel nodded enthusiastically and the pair swam off quickly, not that Sebastian would have noticed anyways. It was time for the grand finale.
"Each little snail here, know how to wail here, that's why it's hotter, under the water. Ya we in luck here, down in the muck here, under the sea!" The last word rang out but it fell on an empty space. The fish quickly dispersed seeing as the person they were speaking to was gone.
"Ariel? Ariel?" Sebastian looked around out of breath and confused that he didn't see the red headed mermaid anywhere. "Oh…somebody's got to nail that girl's fins to the floor." He sighed dejectedly to himself.
"Sebastian!" an out of breath voice called. Sebastian perked up as the king's royal seahorse swam up quickly and out of breath. "Sebastian, I've been looking all over for you. I've got an urgent message from the sea king."
Sebastian would have paled if he wasn't naturally red. "The sea king?"
The seahorse nodded and tugged at his claw. "He wants to see you right away. Something about Ariel?"
"He knows!" Sebastian bit his claw and the seahorse swam away already focused on other messages or tasks he had to do./pre
