Children of Triton

The sisters swim out of giant clam shells as they sing.

Ah, we are the daughters of Triton
Great father who loves us and named us well

A shell rises as the sisters surround it.

And then there is the youngest in his musical debut
Our only little brother, we're presenting him to you
To sing a song Sebastian wrote, his voice is like a bell
He's our brother, Ari—

It opens to reveal that Ariel is absent. The sisters gasp and exclaim. Sebastian gasps as well, anxiously looking towards the king.

King Triton's face glows with anger, his triton brightening, "Ariel!" He angrily yells.

At a sunken ship, a yellow and blue fish struggled to swim fast.

"Ariel, wait for me!" The yellow-blue fish swam, his fins fought against his pushing.

A red-headed boy pushed himself above a wooden pole, his bangs lightly waving with his movements. Upon hearing his friends call, he turned his head, waving the fish over.

"Flounder, Hurry up!" He called, waving over the small fish.

Flounder finally caught up, "You know I can't swim that fast."

Ariel ignored him, pointing to a sunken ship. "There it is. Isn't it fantastic?"

Flounder begrudgingly agreed, "Yeah... sure... it - it's great. Now let's get outta here." Flounder begins to swim away and Ariel yanks his fins towards him.

"You're not getting cold fins now, are you?" Ariel sarcastically asked, smirking at his friend.

Ariel swims towards the ship, Flounder follows after him, not wanting to be left alone.

"Who, me? No way. It's just, it, err... it looks - damp in there. Yeah. And I think I may be coming down with something. Yeah, I got this cough,"

Flounder coughs unconvincingly.

"All right. I'm going inside. You can just stay here and - watch for sharks." Ariel smirked again, his hands holding the edge of the ship's bringer window sill.

Ariel swims inside through a window, Flounder nodded, not realizing what Ariel said.

"Ok. Yeah - you go. I'll stay and -" Flounder paused, Ariels order finally sinking in, "What? Sharks! Ariel!" Flounder yelled, he tried to squeeze through the hole, but got stuck.

"Ariel... I can't... I mean- Ariel help!" Flounder struggled, saying each word, as he wiggled in the window.

Ariel laughed, "Oh, Flounder." He swam towards the struggling fish, grabbing his fins and pulling.

Flounder whispered, "Ariel, do you really think there might be sharks around here?"

"Flounder, don't be such a guppy,"

"I'm not a guppy." Flounder sasses.

A huge shark passes behind them as Flounder squeezes in.

"This is great - I mean, I really love this. Excitement, adventure, danger lurking around every corn-" Flounder nervously stuttered. Flounder sees a skull and screams. He crashes into a pillar, causing wooden beams to fall down.

Ariel stops her searching, turning towards the noise.

"Ariel!" Flounder yelled, swimming towards the red-head and knocking him over.

"Oh, are you ok?" Ariel asked, holding Flounder.

Flounder shakes, his eyes wide as he frowns, "Yeah sure, no problem, I'm okay..."

Ariel ignored him, looking up to the new hole Flounder accidentally created.

"Shhh..." Ariel shushed him.

Ariel swims to an upper level of the ship. As he peaks her head in, he sees a shiny item, the glow attracting his blue eyes. Resting atop a heap is a silver fork.

"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Have you ever seen anything so wonderful in your entire life?" Ariel proclaimed, holding the fork towards his face.

"Wow, cool! But, err, what is it?" Flounder asked, inquired, also inspecting the foreign object.

"I don't know. But I bet Scuttle will." Ariel put the fork in his bag, swimming towards another object that caught his attention.

The giant shark swims outside, quickly catching Flounder's observation.

"What was that? Did you hear something?" Flounder nervously questioned.

Ariel wasn't listening, too distracted by a curved object, "Hmm, I wonder what this one is?" He asked himself, inspecting the object closely.

"Ariel . ." Flounder tried to get Ariel's attention, but he wasn't listening, too absorbed in human gadgetry.

"Flounder, will you relax. Nothing is going to happen." Ariel finally calmly said, trying to calm his guppy-like friend.

The shark appears in front of the window, behind Flounder, jaws wide open. He chomps down on the glass, scaring Flounder into Ariel's arms again.

"Ahh! Run! Run! We're gonna die!" Flounder yelled, quickly swimming with Ariel.

The shark bangs his head on the ceiling of the ship. He chases Ariel and Flounder and they swim for an upper deck through the hole the shark created. Flounder screams as the shark breaks through the floor, chomping towards them. Ariel's bag gets caught on a plank, he turns fastly swimming towards it and grabbing his bag.

Flounder swims towards a porthole and gets stuck again.

"Oh no!" Flounder struggles.

Ariel pushes him through, swiftly following after him. Flounder screams as the shark bursts through the wall and continues to chase them around the ships' mast. Ariel and Flounder circled the mast, the shark stupidly following their movements.

Flounder bumps into a crossbeam, he smiled awkwardly, slowly sinking in circles. The shark lunges, following the dazed fish, but misses as Flounder sinks towards the bottom. Ariel spots him and swims down to get him, dropping his bag.

The shark races towards them. He swam faster, but his head got stuck in the ring of an anchor. Ariel picks up his bag, which has landed near him. He smiled as he swam upwards.

"You big bully!" Flounder stuck his tongue out, blowing a raspberry at the angry shark. The shark snaps at him and Flounder swims with Ariel towards the surface.

Ariel laughed, "Flounder, you really are a guppy."

"I am not."
