Meanwhile with Marina, Manta, and Benjamin, Marina and Manta were the only ones that were happy about what happened. Marina even had a moment on the rocks with the waves splashing which Ariel would in the future, but of course, no one understood yet. The fish were wondering about Marina and a little scared of Manta, even if he was on the good side NOW, or so Triton, Patrick, and Emily would think.
"Benjamin, tear out those puny windows and rip down those narrow walls for Marina," Manta commanded the manatee. "This is just the beginning!"
"He's right, we need a balcony to wave down to those adoring crowds!" Marina added as she happily swayed about.
A new closet for Marina was brought in. Marina happily went to her new closet after the delivery fish brought it and came out with a new outfit of a pink striped outfit with white opera gloves, a pink ruby necklace, and a cape with a new hat. She looked absolutely stunning.
"She does seem happier." Benjamin smiled, but accidentally backed up against the eels, getting electrocuted slightly.
"How long has she been in charge?" the fish.
"About seven minutes." Manta smiled for Marina.
Marina then laughed, thinking that nothing could ruin this for her or for Manta and where Manta thought the same thing.
Later that night, in both the guest room and the seven sisters bedroom. Ariel and Atticus sulked while their sisters were sleeping. Ariel remembered what Atticus told her as she sniffed one of the underwater plants close to her, she then put it on her pillow and decided to meet Atticus, she couldn't take this anymore. She looked to her sisters one last time, then swam out of their room without being heard or seen by anybody. Atticus did the same swimming out to meet her.
"Atticus, I'm going to see the others in prison," Ariel whispered to her cousin. "It's not right for them to be locked up because of music and being happy."
"I'm coming with you, Ariel and we're going to set them free." Atticus whispered to his cousin.
Ariel smiled softly, then took him into the prison cells of the castle. They made sure no one was watching them as they swam off into the locked doors with petrified kelp for bars. She then stood back as Atticus used his strength to open the bar doors and free them.
"Ariel and Atticus?" Sebastian saw them.
"Come on, Sebastian, let's go." Ariel ordered.
"I'm with her." a ray agreed.
"If we run away from Atlantica, it would break your father's heart, Ariel." Sebastian said sadly.
"Listen, Sebastian, we're not going to stay here if it makes everyone sad and if there's no more music." Atticus said as he got rid of the bar doors.
"I will not be responsible for taking you away from your family!" Sebastian huffed.
"We're leaving!" Ariel told him, referring to herself and Atticus. "With or without you."
"Nobody's leaving!" Sebastian argued.
"Except you." the turtle muttered.
"Look, Sebastian, Atticus is right, without music, this place just isn't home," Ariel said softly.
The animals and merboy with wavy blonde hair agreed.
"Sebastian, there is one way to let Atlantica and I think you know what I'm talking about." Atticus said to the red crab.
"You're right, I do... And you two are right, without music this place just isn't home, I know just where to go!" Sebastian cheered with the other happy sea creatures.
