The Little Mermaid

Chapter Three

Pakku walks down a corridor, still surprised at his new job he was given, "How do I get myself into these situations? I should be writing symphonies, not tagging along after some headstrong teenager."

He stops walking when he sees Katara and Momo. Momo hands Katara her bag as they look around, making sure no one was following them before they swim off.

"Hmm? What is that girl up to?" Pakku wondered to himself as he swam after her.

He struggles to keep up with her as she swims farther away from Atlantis.

Pakku is able to stop and catch his breath when she finally stops at a covered cave. Katara looks around as she pulls back the rock, letting Momo swim in first before she goes in herself. Pakku quickly follows after her, his legs getting stuck in between the rock and the wall.

Pakku grabs onto a plant to pull himself out. He ends up being flung across the room and hits an hour glass. He stands and rubs his head before noticing what was in the cave. He looks up in awe at Katara's collection.

"Ariel, are you okay?" Momo asked the mermaid who was resting on a rock, looking at the fork.

"If only I could make him understand." Katara replies, "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."

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 ev'rything?

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 whozits and whatzits galore
You want thingamabobs?
I 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
Whad'ya call 'em?
Oh
Feet

Flippin' your fins you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'
Strollin' 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
Wanderin' free
Wish I could be
Part of that world

What would I give
If I could live Outta these waters?
What would I pay
To spend a day
Warm on the sand?

Betcha on land
They understand
Bet they don't reprimand their daughters

Bright young women
Sick o' 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
