The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning Page #5

# I remember, yes

# How I know that song

Though it's been so long

# I remember happiness

without a floor or ceiling

# What's that feeling?

# I remember

# La, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

- # La, la, la, la, la, la, la

- # Laa...

[all] # La, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

# Laa... La, la

# Oh! I remember her

# And how we were

# I remember wanting

what the evening would be bringing

# I remember singing

# Under the bright blue

# Endless sky

# Waves try to measure the days

# That we treasure

# And I

# I remember

# I remember music

# And I'm never going back

to the silent law they wrote

# I will sing in every tempo

Every last chromatic note

# For I, I remember her

# I remember music

# And I remember

- # Love

- This can't happen!

- # Love #

- Your father is the king!

Swifty.

Do you promise to jump, jive, wail,

groove, rock steady,

and lend a helping hand

to your fellow music lovers?

- I do.

- She's in.

Good morning, Your Highness.

Sebastian. Marina.

- [gasps]

- Good morning, Your Majesty.

I have a problem.

- It's Ariel.

- Ariel? I...

Finally! So you see it, too? Oh, yes.

She's rebellious, insubordinate,

headstrong.

We need to immediately implement

a series of checks and balances

designed to crush her spirit.

What? Too harsh?

Absolutely! Your Highness,

she is young, going through a phase.

I don't remember having this much

trouble with any of her sisters.

I do! They're all a handful.

We should shave their heads.

- [yelps]

- Just kidding.

- Alana wasn't difficult at all.

- Yes, Your Majesty.

But Arista and the blowfish incident,

remember?

Oh! It took weeks

to clean up the palace.

And how about Aquata

and that stingray?

- I can still feel it.

- Well...

Or the time Attina got her head

stuck in the conch shell.

That was me.

Well, perhaps you're right, Sebastian.

Still, it seems Marina

could use some help.

I want you to look after Ariel.

No offense, Marina.

None taken.

- Soft shell. Stick eye.

- Tardy girl. Fish lips.

- Backstabber. Bottom feeder!

- Fashion disaster. Babysitter!

Dismissed.

[humming]

# La, la, la, la, la

What?

What?

- Uh... You were humming.

- [gasps] I was?

- Out loud.

- Don't worry.

- It was just a dream.

- I'll tell you what wasn't a dream.

- We woke up at midnight.

- And your bed was still empty.

- Really?

- Yeah. That is two hours past curfew.

- Oh.

- Ooh, was it a boy?

- If it's a boy, I'm gonna die.

- Ugh... Drama.

I mean, I'm happy for you, Ariel.

It's just that I'm two years

older than you,

and the only one I've come

even close to kissing is Stevie.

- Ew! Squid-Lips Stevie?

- It was on a dare.
