My Pov

We arrived back in Atlantica and it was hard for me and Sora to readjust swimming with tails. I managed to catch a glimpse of myself in a reflective rock. You could see my figure much more clearly than before. That's when I saw Ariel, Flounder and Sebastian swimming toward us.

Ariel: "Sora! Hikari! Donald! Goofy!"

Sora: "Uh... hi there!" Why did Sora sound all bashful?

Me: "Hi, Ariel!"

Ariel: "Forget how to swim already?"

Sora: "Kinda, I guess."

Sebastian: "Den you all have to practice! You follow Flounder—he show you what to do."

Flounder: "Sora, Hikari, c'mon. You can do it!" After a little bit, we got the hang of it again.

Me: "Well, we came here thinking something might be wrong, but everything seems peaceful."

Ariel: "It is... as long as Daddy's in a good mood."

Sebastian: "We have a concert coming up soon. Why don't you sing in my musical extravaganza?" Sebastian swam closer to me and Sora. "Please say yes! Ariel's been actin' strange lately. But she might settle down if you're dere, too."

Sora: "Sounds like fun!" I was nervous. I never sang to anyone. Sebastian taught us how to dance and move with the beat and we decided to perform. We had done really well.

Ariel: "Sora, Hikari, you were both amazing!" Ariel's face turned from happy to sad and she swam off. We looked and saw King Triton.

Sebastian: "Your Majesty! We have visitors!"

Sora: "King Triton!"

Triton: "I hope there hasn't been any need to use those Keyblades of yours."

Me: "No, everything's quiet and peaceful."

Sebastian: "You Majesty, our guests, dey wanna to sing in de musical."

"Well, that sounds like a splendid idea." Triton said. King Triton explained that Ariel was still wanting to see the human world and the rehearsal could help keep her mind off it. However, Ariel couldn't put her heart into singing anymore that day. Flounder came to us and told us of a way to help Ariel. Flounder took us to the ship graveyard and showed us a statue. It looked like a prince. Using Magnet magic, me and Sora moved the statue and took it to Ariel's grotto. I went off to find Ariel.

"Ariel!" I called. She turned to me. "Come on! We have a surprise for you." I took Ariel to her grotto and we showed her the statue. Ariel gained heart again and began to sing.

"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 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" Ariel touched my shoulder, wanting me to finished. I imagined myself in her position, me as the mermaid princess and Riku as the human prince I longed to see again. The feeling rushed through and I sang with all my heart.
