For those who have read this story or are new coming here, hello and as you can see I have made some changes as the grammar was horrible, it's not truly genderbent and I wanted to make this story longer. And the songs will no longer be here, due to copyright issues and not wanting to get in trouble with Fanfiction I must obey the rules.

I hope you like it:)

The ocean was calm and the air was foggy. The fish were jumping around in the salty waters while the seagulls tried to catch their breakfast that morning.

Then something came their way.

They turned their direction to the gigantic ship that was coming towards them and they scattered away, the Seagulls to the sky and the fish down to the depths of the sea. The ship came through the waters, it had a statue of a woman in the front to guide them through.

Then a young teenaged girl ran to the edge and had a huge smile on her face as she held of to the edge.

"Isn't it wonderful Grimsby!" said a young girl twirling and then looked over the edge of the boat "The smell of fresh sea water and wind in your hair!?" She was taking it all in.

"It's a beautiful day to be in the open ocean!"

She had long, black silky hair and had a red headband in it. She had fair skin that was soft to the touch, her eyes were a dark blue that were twinkling with joy, she wore a white lose puffy shirt, tight black pants and a pair of boots.

Meanwhile lady Grimsby, the girls right hand woman, had her head over the boat. When her head came back up she was green and pale, the older woman was terribly sea sick but tried to answer her.

"Uh..yes,, princess..it is." she went wide eyed and ducked her head over the boat once more. The girl continued to look out at the dock.

The girl was princess Erica. She is an adventurous woman who loves the ocean and is willing to take chances for the sake of discovery. But she can be quite naïve and awkward at times when it comes to social gatherings and meeting people, she felt more at home with the ocean as she always seems more graceful and relaxed around the sea.

Grimsby's stomach finally settled down and she went over to the young princess as she fixes her bun. Lady Grimsby was an elderly woman who wore a black dress and was fixing the wrinkles in it, she wore red lipstick and has long lashes.

"Erica my dear," Grimsby starts as she wiped his mouth with her napkin, then he puts it back in her dress pocket,"You know what today is do you?" Erica looks up at Grimsby with a sigh and smile.

"My birthday Grimsby, I know, you and everyone else told me that this morning." Grimsby puts her hands on the young girls shoulder.

"And you know what that means my dear?"

"...Yes, I know."

Erica knew where the conversation was going. The time has come for Erica as her birthday marks a very important requirement for her as now she is the age of sixteen, as a princess when she reaches her sixteenth birthday, it is custom that she now must get married. Erica was kind of dreading on this day because people will be telling her that she should marry one of the snootiest noble men in the kingdom or a prince from a another country.

Erica didn't want that, while she knows as a princess it's her duty to find a husband and produce an heir to the throne, she didn't just want to marry just any randm man. She wanted someone unique and who will be special to her.

She twirled her hair with her finger. This was supposed to be her special day, but the stress that everyone will be putting on her about the whole marriage thing makes it difficult for her to try to enjoy her birthday.

"But Grimsby? Don't you think we're rushing things? I mean I just turned sixteen today."

Grimsby giggled, "Oh nonsense, my dear! Now that you're sixteen it's time tie the knot. You won't be young forever and the clock is ticking!"

A sailor laughed, "Yes, it won't be like you'll have many children in time like like queen Tritannia you know!"

Erica perked up and blinked, "Queen Tritannia?" she asked.

Another sailor nodded as he was sorting the caught fish, "Why ruler of the mer people my dear, she is said to be beautiful yet deadly when you trifle with her."

Lady Grimsby glared, "Now don't you be telling the princess such fairytales! Everyone knows mermaids don't exist!"

The other sailors were smirking and one of them remarked, "Maybe if the princess is lucky a merman will catch her eye! I heard the merman are handsome as the mermaids are beautiful!"

Erica would blush while Grimsby would scowl, "That is quite enough of that!"

"Ahhh!" Shouts a sailor as a fish wiggled out of hs grasp, "lose fish!lose fish!" the fish was flopping around the dock and the sailors and crew members were chasing it. As some tried to catch it, the fish kept slipping from their hands and they ended up dog piling each other.

Grimsby was horrified while the princess giggled and when the fish flopped in front of her it froze in fear. She had a gentle smile on her lips and picked up the fish carefully.

"You want to go back home huh little guy?" The fish looked at her funny. She walked over to the edge, the sailors panicked as they knew what she was about to do, as the ran to her, she smiled at the fish, "Take care now, and be careful next time," when she let the fish go it was too late for the sailors and the fish was now falling back down into the deep dark waters.

The fish looked up and sighed in relief, he looks up and remembers Erica.

"Thank you." the fish said, and it swam away.

The ocean floors were clean and clear and under control. Creatures from the sea were swimming towards something that was glowing in the near distance, as they got closer it got brighter. It wasn't long until those creatures came to their destination.

The great kingdom of Atlantica.

It was a special day for the people of Atlantica as today was very important.

A female crab was going through her music notes for tonight. The crab was named Scarlett and she was already panicking as she seems to be disorganized for the event tonight.

Queen Tritannia's fiftieth birthday.

"Oh man!" she exclaimed with a Jamacian accent, "this is a disaster! I don't know where is where and which is which! Some composer I am!"

"Scarlett!" called out a female voice, Scarlett turned quickly and saw her majesty herself, queen Tritannia. Despite her old age she had a hourglass figure and was a very beautiful mer-woman. Her tail was a light aqua blue that was shinning a bit, she wore a white shell corset with blue frills on the bottom, she had white hair that was tied back in a pony tail. Her eyes were a dark piercing blue, they looked stern but they had a softness in them to put someone at ease.

"Ah your majesty! How can I help you!?" Scarlett exclaims as she quickly organizes her songs for tonight's birthday concert.

"Oh nothing, just checking the preparations for..."

the queen looks at her with a sly smile, "My birthday party, I know many people had wished me a happy birthday so no need for surprises. So how are the preparations Scarlett?"

"Oh everything is going great you excellency! And just wait until you see what your sons and I have made you!"

Tritannia nods and smiled,"I look forward to it Scarlett, I cannot wait to see what my boys did for me." Scarlett gave the queen a cheeky smile.

"Oh yes, you will love it!" as Scarlett walked away she muttered something under her breath,"...If only HE showed every once in a while for practice we might have more time to reherse."

"What was that?" Tritannia asked.

Scarlett grinned, "Nothing!" Scarlett scurried away muttering.

What Scarlett was talking about was the queen's seventh and youngest son. The most rebellious and adventerous of her children and the source of Scarlett's headache's.

Arron.

When queen Tritannia left the room, Scarlett threw a vase at the wall and let out a yell. Tritannia heard the crash and rolled her eyes, "Oh Scarlett, you haven't changed a bit."

A boy peeked from behind a rock. His eyes wide in excitement with a large grinon his face as he saw something in the distance.

The boy was sixteen years old. He had fair tanned skin, he was build in his upper body with two gold bracelets on each wrist and wore a purple shell necklace around his neck, and on the bottom half he had a light green tail. He had blue eyes that were filled with wonder and adventure and he had long red hair that was mushroom cut that covered his ears and jaw line with a fringe going right.

"Aaron! Slow down I'm getting tired!' called a female voice from behind, the boy looked behind him with an annoyed expression and waved his arm to hurry the person up.

"Flounder! Come on!" he called out, then a little fish who was yellow with blue stripes with a pink flower in her hair came into the scene. She was huffing as he caught up to him. He looked at the distance and they saw a giant sunken ship.

And Aaron was determined to go in it.

Flounder, on the other hand was nervous.

"Let's go!" Arron said as he swam. Flounder let out a sigh and she followed.

Aaron and Flounder were swimming inside the ship. They were creeping in carefully as the ship was pretty old, any sudden movements could cause the ship to collapse.

Aaron was looking around while Flaunder was nervous as she looked back and forth to make sure nothing was coming their way.

Flaunder begin to mumble to herself to relax as she swam.

"Okay, so this ship is creepy big deal. I can handle it. I mean it's just a ship so there's no scary monster in here and AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Flaunder screamed as she saw a skull in front of her. She knocked over the shelves and swam as fast as she could. Aaron looked back to see what was going on

"AARON!" Flaunder plowed onto her best friend and knocked him on the ground. He saw a scared fish in his arms. Aaron became worried as he knew Flounder was terrified of places like this.

"Flaunder, are you alright?" Aaron asked softly, Flaunder was still shaking in fear.

"Uh, yeah sure, I..I'm okay" Flaunder says quietly, Aaron suddenly shushes her. Aaron starts swimming up in the hole on the top floor, Flaunder followed.

As Aaron and Flaunder went up they found a lot more items. Aaron looked around and something caught his eye and went wide-eyed.

"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" Aaron said as he saw something bright and shiny on a little statue. It was a gold chain like bracelet with a pattern of hearts on them. Aaron swam to it as fast as he could and grabbed the charm bracelet.

"Flaunder have you seen anything so beautiful in your entire life!?" Aaron exclaims, Flaunder came to her in excitement.

"Cool!" Aaron puts the bracelet on and looks at it, then she raised his eyebrow,

"A bit to girly for me? Hey Flaunder do you want it?" Flaunder looks at Aaron with a blank expression.

"Uh Aaron" Flaunder waves her fins around, Aaron laughs as he remembered that Flaunder is a fish.

"Oh sorry." Arron chuckled.

"Why don't you give it to your mother for her birthday? I'm sure she'll like it."

That made Aaron go pale and he exclaimed,"Are you crazy! My mother would kill me! That's an object humans made and she hates humans! Heck, I'm not supposed to be anywhere near things that involve humans!"

Flaunder gave a little "oh" with her eyes wide a bit.

Aaron is his mothers favorite child out of his brothers. He always wanted his mom to be happy and does what ever he can to make things easy for her. But there are times where he would leave when queen Tritannia would lose her temper when someone breaks the law in Atlantica.

That example of treason was already being committed by Aaron as he is breaking a rule that would have him in big trouble if his mother found out where he was sneaking off to. And that was collecting human item's and the very image of his mother lifting her Triton scared Arron stiff.

"Why does your mother hate humans anyways Aaron?"Flounder asked, Aaron stopped for a second and froze. He looks down and had a sudden sad expression on his face, he slowly turns to Flaunder.

"Well..it's a long story, but lets just say that when I was little...humans..took something very precious from my mother and it effected her badly...well all of us actually."

Flaunder was still confused,"Really? What did they take away from her?"

"...Well.." Aaron didn't finish as he felt something go behind him. Flaunder sensed that too.

"What was that?" Flaunder asked, Aaron looked around too and carefully crept through. Flounder did the same as well, then Aaron found another object, it had three spikes on it and it had a long medal stick on the bottom. Aaron eased up a bit and took it.

"I wonder what this is?" he asked himself. When he looked up he went frozen in fear and gasped, there was a giant shark behind Flaunder and it was showing its teeth. Flounder saw his face and asked.

"Aaron whats wrong?" Aaron made hand signals to tell Flaunder to stop with fear in his eyes, Flaunder did and Aaron started talking on the side of his mouth quietly.

"Flaunder, what ever you do, do. Not. Move." Aaron said, but Flaunder got scared and she slowly looked behind her and was startled when she saw the shark.

"Flaunder don't scream!" Aaron unfroze and quietly panicked Flaunder to stop, but the shark opened his mouth and charged at the fish.

"DIE! DIE! WE'RE GONNA DIE!" Flaunder yells as the shark came in and started to attack them. The beast chomped his teeth while Flaunder and Aaron swam as fast as they could. Soon Flaunder was heading for the small window and she got stuck, she wiggled in hopes to escape, then Aaron came to her aid and was pushing her out as quickly as possible.

"Flaunder you REALLY need to lay off the seaweed! It's not doing much for your waist line!" Aaron grunted as he was pushing Flaunder out. Aaron and Flaunder heard the roar of the shark and it was coming at them.

"Ah! Aaron hurry!" Flaunder exclaimed, Aaron began to push harder.

Finally she popped out and Aaron went through the window. The shark crashed through the boat and Flaunder screamed again, it was chasing them and Aaron had to think fast.

He saw a hoop at the bottom and got an idea, he grabs Flaunder and swims fast towards it.

"Aaron! What are you doing!?" Flaunder exclaims, Aaron looks at Flaunder with a confident smile.

"Trust me! I have an idea!" The shark spots them and begins to chase them. It was coming closer and as its sharp teeth reached Aaron's fin, Aaron went through the hoop but when the shark did however.

It got stuck.

Aaron and Flaunder looked back at the now stuck shark. Aaron checked and saw that the shark cannot get out, he swam away while Flaunder went into its face.

"You big bully!" she exclaimed and she raspberry the shark, only to have its jaw snap at her. Flaunder retaliated and swam quickly with Aaron, who was laughing at her now.

"Flaunder you are such a guppy!" only to have Flaunder exclaim.

"I am not!" Aaron and Flaunder kept swimming until another shiny object. Curious, Aaron swam down and found it.

It was a shiny little pink pearl in a seashell, and right next to it was a silver chain. He picked up both objects and an idea came to him.
