The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning Page #3

---

# A straw to break the camel's back

A teeny dent, a tiny crack

# A mini mighty break

What I need is one mistake

- Mmm...

- # And after that, who knows? #

Sebastian's bound

to make a mistake, right?

Not likely.

Dream killer!

[straining]

One. [exhales deeply]

[sighs]

Live from The Catfish Club, it's...

- [water bubbling melodically]

- Flounder!

[imitating cheering audience]

We love you, Flounder.

[imitating electric guitar]

[Ariel] Oh, boy. [grunts]

- [grunting]

- Whoo! Oh, yeah!

I'm hot. I know it.

- Hey!

- Aah!

Was that... what I think it was?

- Nope. Whoops.

- [water bubbling melodically]

- That!

- What?

- That sound!

- Oh, that sound.

I was just... [laughs]

...cleaning out these...

But then you... Hey!

And then I... [wheezes]

And then the thingamajiggers just

boppity boop, bop, bap!

Can you do it again?

Halt! You're in violation

of the Triton Acts!

- All music is forbidden in the kingdom!

- Not good.

- Swim!

- Hey, get back here!

Faster!

Corkscrew!

Ooh!

Torpedo tube!

Whoo-hoo!

[giggling]

Not again! [straining]

[swordfish] There they are!

[whimpering] Fish launch!

- Thanks.

- No problem.

- [grumbling]

- This way!

- My name is Flounder.

- Oh, I'm Ariel.

Oh, no!

[Flounder screams]

[shrieks]

Princess Ariel!

What is the meaning of this?!

- Princess?

- Um...

- We weren't doing anything.

- [Sebastian] No?

Then why were you trying to get away?

[both stammering]

Um... 'Cause they were chasing us?

- We heard music, chief.

- [shrieks]

Music!

The princess was making music?

The princess wasn't making music.

He was.

[whimpers]

Music is against the law!

Take him to the dungeon!

- I can't make it in the slammer!

- Now!

Wait! This is all

a big misunderstanding. Huge.

You are gonna laugh when I explain.

- Which I'm about to do.

- In this century, please.

Right. You see, I was just

cleaning the coral tubes,

and my friend here [chuckles]

was helping me.

That's right. Best friend helpin' out.

- Makin' it happen.

- But not making music.

See?

Guards! Escort the princess

back to the palace.

- But Sebastian...

- And you!

[whimpers]

Consider this your first

and only warning, mon.

- Humph!

- [growling]

Oh!

Intolerable, I tell you.

That girl is working on my last claw!

[Adella] If I change my hair,

he'd notice?

[Aquata] Where's my brush?

My brush works better.

OK, bedtime. Outta my way. Don't look

now, but dinner exploded on your face.

- It's plankton extract and sea salt.

- Pretty.

It rejuvenates the skin

and it won't clog your pores.

- Whatever!

- It's your face.

'Scuse me. [sighs]

- Uh, is that my mask?

- Nope.

It's got my initial on it.

All of our names
