A Cartoon Adventure

Chapter 10: How to live under the sea

I came across the new door where there was a tail fin and some water printed on it. Yay! I'm going to the world of The Little Mermaid! "Ha, ha, ha! That daughter of Triton may have escaped my wrath, but a new mermaid under the sea might just be what I need!" Ursula laughed, crawling out from where she was struck with the ship. "I don't give up that easily!" "Wow, this is so beautiful." I said swimming around the sea looking at every fish, coral, and seashell I could find.

Then I bumped into a Merman by accident. "Whoa, where are you going?" He asked, with a charming smile. "Sorry, I'm exploring the sea." I answered. "I'm new here." "I could have guessed, I haven't seen you around." He told me. "I'm Joshua Aqua." "I'm Christy." I said. "Somehow I have a knack for bumping into people. Sorry about that." I tried to keep going, but he stopped me by calling out, "Wait! You can't leave now!" "What?" I asked, turning back. "The least you could do is let me show you around." He answered. "Are you sure, because I could try and find my way around the ocean on my own if you are busy?" I asked. "Oh, no! You wouldn't want to do that." Joshua told me. "The word under the sea is that after Ursula was defeated she came back to finish what she started. Given the fact that Ariel is now above the sea, Ursula is waiting for some unsuspecting soul to sink her tentacles into."  "And how do I know you aren't apart of her plot?" I asked him with a soft laugh. "For all you know, I could be." He answered with a laugh himself. "But I'll go on a limb here and reassure you that I am not in any way connected with the sea witch."

"Good to know!" I exclaimed. "So, where are you headed?" "Well, I was supposed to help Sebastian with something, but I've forgotten what it was." He answered. "Joshua!" Sebastian called out. "You were supposed to warn everyone about the giant tidal wave that has washed over the sea and to get everyone to safety!" "Right! Tidal wave!" Joshua exclaimed. "Speak of the crabby crab. Here he is now!" "Wait, was Ursula behind the giant tidal wave?" I asked. "I wouldn't be surprised." Joshua answered. "After her recent failure with Ariel, she is going to destroy King Triton and the sea once and for all." "Where did you hear that plot?" I asked. "You can say I'm a secret agent." He answered. "Ooo, a secret agent!" I smiled. "How exciting!" "Of course I could always use a sidekick." He told me. "Hey! I'm nobody's sidekick!" I replied. "But if you're asking me to help you defeat Ursula then count me in!" "Then, first we'll need you as bait." He said. "Bait?" I asked. "That's kind of ironic given that we're under the sea." "I couldn't ask you to face up against The Sea Witch." He told me. "Everything could go wrong." "What? You don't think I could handle it?" I asked him, "You are deeply underestimating me." "There is no time to be playing games!" Sebastian said to Joshua Aqua. "You have to round up everyone. Excuse me, miss, but you have to hurry up and get to shelter."

"Is there anything I can do to help?" I asked. "Yes, you can stay clear of the Tidal Wave." Sebastian answered. "Stay clear of the Tidal Wave, got it." I said. "Where to?" "Flounder will show you the way." Sebastian answered. "That was not cool, Sebastian." Joshua told him. "This is no time for date night." Sebastian told him, "You've got a job to do." "So, I'm Flounder." Flounder said to me as we swam away to take cover. "Hi, I'm Christy." I said. "So, I'll take you to Ariel's Grotto, you should be safe there." Flounder told me. "That will be amazing!" I exclaimed. "So where did you come from, Christy?" Flounder asked. "You won't even believe it." I answered, telling him everything that happened recently. "That is some adventure." Flounder said. "So you already know everything about being on land." "If I had a choice between being a human and being a mermaid, I would definitely choose mermaid." I answered. "Ooo, a seashell!" 

Suddenly when we continued our swim, I felt a large current swipe over me, and a whirl pool was sucking me up to the surface. "Christy, hold onto my fins!" Flounder told me. "I'll try and pull you out!" "Ahhh!" I exclaimed; trying to reach for his fins, but it was too late, and I was withdrawn from the sea. Flounder fought the current and hurried to find Joshua and Sebastian. "Guys, it's too late! When we were just about to get to safety... a giant current swept over us and sucked Christy away." Flounder told them. "This is just great, just what we need." Sebastian said. "Are you satisfied with yourself, Aqua? Who knows who else could get sucked through." "Don't blame me!" Joshua said, "You were the one who sent her off to a place where I couldn't keep an eye on her."
