Kamome had the telescope facing the wrong way.
"Black how you doing kid." Kamome moved the telescope away and was surprised to see her. "Wow what a swim."
"Kamome look what we found." Black shows Kamome a bag of her human collections.
"Yeah, we were in this sunken ship and it was really creepy." Mepple is cut off by Kamome.
"Human stuff huh." Kamome then looks in the bag and pulls out a fork in the bag "Wow this is special." Kamome look at the fork "This is very unusual."
"What? What is it?"
"It's a dinglehopper." Kamome guessed "Humans use these little babies to straighten their hair out." Kamome twirls the fork around his hair which gives him a new hairdo which Kamome guessed and hands it to Black.
"A dinglehopper."
"What about that one." Mepple points to the smoke pipe.
"A banded… bulbous snarflblatt." Kamome guesses "So they invented this snarfblatt to make fine music. Allow me." Kamome blows it but it was stuffed.
"Music." Black remembered something.
"It's stuff." Kamome coughs.
"Oh, the concert. Oh my gosh my father gonna kill me." Black packed up her human collection
"Concert was today." Mepple remembered now.
Black swam off "I gotta go! Thank you Kamome." Black waved goodbye and went back to the ocean.
"Any time, sweetie! Any time." Kamome waved back.
Black and Mepple swam back to the palace but unknowing to them two eels were spying on them.
Black and Mepple are seen on a bubble in an unknown dark place of the ocean.
"Yes, hurry home Princess. We wouldn't want to miss old daddy's celebration, now, would we?" the mysterious dark figure replied unsatisfied "Ha! celebration indeed. Oh-ho, bah! In my day, we had fantastical feasts when I lived in the palace." The mysterious figure picked up a shrimp from a clam ate a shrimp. "And now look at me." says the old woman with octopus tentacles "Wasted away to practically nothing. Banished and exiled and practically starving. While he and his flimsy fish folks celebrate!" the octopus lady came down from her bed "Well, I'll give him something to celebrate soon enough! Yumi! Kuro!" she called out her eels "I want you to keep an extra-close watch on this pretty little daughter of his." She ordered her two eels "She maybe the key to Chrysos's undoing." the octopus lady answered with a sinister smile.
Rainbow Ocean Palace
Black is being scolded by her father "I just don't know what we're going to do with you young lady."
"Daddy, I'm sorry. I just forgot! I…"
"As a result of your careless behavior…"
"Careless and reckless behavior!" Wisdom added angerly.
"…The entire celebration was—"
"Well, it was ruined, that's all!" Wisdom answered in anger "Completely destroyed!"
"But it wasn't her fault!" Mepple swam up defending her. "Uh, well, first, uh, this shark chased us. Yeah. Y-yeah. And we tried to… but we couldn't. and he—Grr! And—And we—Whoa! Ahh. And then we were safe. Then this seagull came, and it was 'this this' and that is that,' and—"
"Seagull? What?" Mepple then hides in Black's hair "Oh! you went up to the surface again, didn't you?" Chrysos yelled at his youngest daughter.
"Nothing…happened."
"Oh, Black how many times must we go through this? You could have been seen by one of those barbarians, by—by one of those humans."
"Daddy, they're not barbarians!"
"They're dangerous! Do you think I want to see my youngest daughter snared by some fish-eater's hook?"
"I'm 16 years old. I'm not a child."
"Don't you take that tone of voice with me, young lady!"
"Well."
"As long as you live under my ocean, you'll obey my rules!"
"But if you would just listen—"
"Not another word! And I am never, never to hear of you going to the surface again! Is that clear!"
Hurt by her father's words Black swims off crying which Mepple follows her.
"Hm. Teenagers. They think they know everything you give them an inch they swim all over you."
"Do you think I was too hard on her?" Chyrsos asked Wisdom
"Definitely not. Why, if Black was my daughter, I'd show her who was boss. None of this flitting to the surface and other such nonsense. No, sir. I'd keep her under tight control."
"You're absolutely right, Wisdom."
"Of course."
"Black needs constant supervision."
"Constant."
"Someone to watch over her, to keep her out of trouble."
"All the time."
"And you are just the crab to do it." Wisdom gasp with surprise of babysitting a headstrong teenager.
Mepple hand's Black her bag and they check to see if anyone is watching, and they swim off with Wisdom following them. "Hmm? What is that girl up to?"
Wisdom follows them outside the palace, out of the Rainbow Ocean, to a secret grotto and went inside with Wisdom getting inside before the door closed but got his legs stuck which he grabbed a plant to pull himself in the secret grotto which he then flies into an hourglass to his surprise it's full of human collection.
"Black are you okay?"
"If only I could make him understand. I just don't see thing the way he does. I don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things… could be bad."
Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?
Look at this trove treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Lookin' around here, you'd think
Sure, she's got everything
I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty
I've got whosits and whatsits galore
You want thingamabobs?
I've got twenty
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more
I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see 'em dancin'
Walkin' around on those—what do you call 'em?
Oh, feet
Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumpin' dancin'
Strolling along down a—
What's that word again?
Street
Up where they walk up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wandering free
Wish I could be
Part of that world
What would I give if I could live
Out of these waters
What would I pay to spend a day
Warm on the sand?
Betcha on land they understand
That they don't reprimand their daughters
Bright young women
Sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand
And ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions and get some answers
What's a fire and why does it—
What's the word?
Burn?
When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love
Love to explore that shore up above?
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that
World
