I don't own Star Wars or The Little Mermaid.

When Padmé swam into the throne room and saw her father sitting on his throne looking angry, she felt like she wanted to disappear, knowing what was going to come.
Padmé, why did you miss the concert! Said Qui Gon when he saw her.
I'm sorry dad, I-I.. forgot, said Padmé trying to disappear into nothing.
And why did you miss the concert-- Wait! Interrupted Flounder.
It's not her fault! There was a shark that was ch-chasing us but h-he got stuck in a big ring, and then t-there was a -seagull and--
Seagull? Ohhh you went up to the surface again didn't you! I told you you aren't allowed to go there! You know what happened to your mother, Your forbidden to go there, it's dangerous! Humans are evil and barbaric people! Yelled Qui Gon, very angry now.

I'm sorry dad, but--- No but's Padmé! Ohhhh what happened to my little girl? Said Qui Gon.

But I'm not a little girl anymore, I'm seventeen! Said Padmé with a shaky voice.
You don't need to remind me. Muttered Qui Gon.
I'm not a child anymore, why won't you let me grow up! Screamed Padmé as she swam out of the throne room.
Because I don't want to! Screamed Qui Gon after her.

Ummm, your majesty? Said Obi Wan and tapped Qui Gon's shoulder.

What!? Asked Qui Gon annoyed now.
You must learn to let the girl go, to let her grow up, said Obi Wan.
I know, but she's my youngest daughter, my baby, it's not easy to see her grow up, even though I now I need to sometime, said Qui Gon upset.

Follow her Obi Wan, I wanna see what she's up to.

As Padmé swam away from Atlantica in complete annoyance of her fathers stubbornness that she herself had inherited, she felt like crying.

Why couldn't he just accept that she was growing up. She wasn't a child anymore, why couldn't he just understand! Thought Padmé.

Little did she know that Obi Wan was following her by the orders of her father.
Hmm, what is that girl being up to? Muttered Obi Wan.

He kept following her and Flounder when suddenly stopped at a big rock and pulled it aside revealing it to be the opening of a cave.
She looked around before swimming inside and pulled the rock back in place.

Obi Wan swam as fast as he could and pulled himself inside to opening just before the stone rolled into place with a heavy sound.

What he saw made him gasp. The whole cave was filled with human stuff, from the top to the bottom. Obi Wan put both hands on his mouth, hoping Padmé hadn't heard him.

He heard Padmé say, 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? Said Padmé to Flounder as she twirled fork between her fingers.

She then began to sing.

Look at this stuff isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collections 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
Looking' around here you think
Sure she's got everything
I've got gadgets and gizmos and aplenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
You want thingamabobs?
I got twenty.
But who cares
No big deal
I want mooore.
I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see 'em dancing'
'Walking' around on those, what do you call em?
Oh, feet.
Flipping your fins, you don't get to far
Legs are required for jumpin'
Dancing'
Strolling along down a....
What's the 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 could I give, if I could live out of these waters?
What wood 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 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 the world

Padmé finished the song with a shaky voice.
If he could just understand, muttered Padmé.

Obi Wan was so shocked by the display that he momentarily let his guard down and accidentally slipped from his hiding place, screaming in fear and making big crashing noises making both Padmé and Flounder turn around in fear knowing that the cave wasn't a secret anymore, and seeing that it was Obi Wan who had caught them made it all even worse.

Umm, hi Obi Wan, said Padmé awkwardly wanting to melt into the sand under her.

Padmé, what do you have to say for yourself, you know you father will kill you for this, don't you, said Obi Wan trying to not show how disappointed he was in her right now.

I know I know I know, but I'm not sorry, he just doesn't understand Obi Wan! Please don't tell him, please please please, said Padmé, begging Obi Wan now, using the puppy face.

Ummmmmm, fine! But I can't promise that I won't tell your father, you know how scary he can be when he's angry! Said Obi Wan like a child.

Tel me about it, said Padmé, mostly to herself then the others.
She then saw a dark shadow going over the cave and fireworks could also be heard.
She started to get curious and swam to the opening of the caves and pushed the stone away to get out.

Hay! Where are you going? She heard Obi Wan ask as they swam out after her. She heard the questions but didn't answer them she just kept swimming to the surface where the dark illusion was.

When she reached the surface, she saw a ship a few hundred meters away. Fireworks was being lighted from the ship.

Wow, it's so beautiful, said Padmé to Obi Wan and Flounder.

Padmé then started to swim towards the ship wanting to see what was happening on it closer. Padmé stop it, Come back! Screamed Obi Wan after her but she just kept going and ignored them......
