Editing Ash's Adventures of The Little Mermaid/Transcript (section)

=="Under the Sea"/Sebastian learns that Ash and friends are humans/King Triton talks with Ash and Sebastian==
(At the palace of Atlantica in Ariel and her sisters' room, we find Andrina, Aquata, Adella, and Attina present.)

Andrina: Ariel, dear, time to come out. You've been in there all morning.

(Ariel comes out humming Part of Your World happily while her sisters looked baffled.)

Attina: What is with her lately?

(They all watch her as her does her hair and continues humming as she then picks a water flower and swims off then bumps to her father King Triton.)

Ariel: Oh. Morning, Daddy. (puts the flower on his head)

King Triton: Well! (chuckles)

(Ariel swims off humming happily as King Triton and his four daughters watch her leave.)

Attina: Oh, she's got it bad.

King Triton: What? What has she got?

Andrina: Isn't it obvious, Daddy? Ariel's in love.

King Trion: Ariel? (looks at the water flower) In love?

(To Ash and Korra)

Korra: Feeling alright, buddy?

Ash Ketchum: Yes, well, it's Ariel that I'm worried about. She's been like this since she saved the prince.

Korra: Yeah, if King Triton finds out what happened, we're in hot water especially since we kept it a secret.

Ash Ketchum: Yeah, but if I tell her the truth about us being humans. She'll never speak to me again. I'm just afraid of losing her to him.

Korra: Wait a second ... [''Smiles knowingly.''] You're not worried about her, you're jealous!

Ash Ketchum: Me? Jealous? Of what?

Korra: It all makes sense now! The way you hang out with Ariel since the day we met her. You have a crush on her!

Ash Ketchum: [''Shocked.''] What?! How-? [''He nervously glances around to see if anyone else is around.''] Where'd you get that idea?

Korra: Ha! [''Pointing at him.''] Brock.

Ash Ketchum: [''Angrily muttering while looking away.''] Great, I'll have to have a word with him.

Korra: [''Folds her arms, smugly.''] So...you have a small thing with the mermaid princess. I'm surprised Misty didn't get jealous of all the times you spend with her.

Ash Ketchum: Oh, she was. Anyway, Ariel and I have been great friends for some time now. We both had different goals in li- [''He suddenly comes to a realization.''] Oh, why am I even telling you this? I don't have a crush on her! And I'm not jealous! I'm just a little concerned about her that's all.

Korra: Hm, apparently concern can lead you to jealousy.

Ash Ketchum: What do you... [''Stammers in confusion and groans angrily in annoyance.''] Let's just get the others and go with Ariel, okay?! I don't know why we're having this conversation! [''He swims away quickly in annoyance and anger.'']

Korra: [''Waving teasingly.''] See you out there, lover boy! [''Ash hangs his head in embarrassment and Korra laughs as he swims away.'']

Ash Ketchum: (sarcastically) Oh, real mature, Korra. Real grown-up. (groans in frustration)

(To Sebastian and Ariel somewhere in the kingdom)

Sebastian: Okay. So far, so good. I don't think the king knows. (a petal fell on him and he blows it away) But it will not be easy keeping something like this a secret for long.

Ariel: (sighs and picks a petal) He loves me. (picks another) Mmm. He loves me not. (picks another) He loves me! (laughs) I knew it! (laughs happily)

Sebastian: Ariel, stop talking crazy!

Ariel: I gotta see him again, tonight. Scuttle knows where he lives.

Sebastian: Ariel, please! Will you get your head out of the clods and back in the water where it belongs?

Ariel: I'll swim up to his castle, then Flounder will splash around to get his attention.

Sebastian: Down here is your home!

(Music plays)

Sebastian: Ariel, listen to me. The human world, it's a mess. Life under the sea is better than any'ting they got up there!

(Under the Sea)

Sebastian:

The seaweed is always greener

In somebody else's lake

You dream about going up there,

But that is a big mistake

Just look at 'de world around you

Right here on the ocean floor

Such wonderful things surround you

What more is you lookin' for?

Under the sea

Under the sea

Darling it's better

Down where it's wetter,

Take it from me!

Up on the shore they work all day,

Out in the sun they slave away

While we devotin'

Full-time to floatin',

Under the sea!

(Lobster plays clams as steel drums along with Sebastian)

'''Sebastian/Lobster''': Down here all the fish is happy

'''Sebastian''': As off through the waves they roll

'''Both''': The fish on the land ain't happy

'''Sebastian''': They sad 'cause they in their bowl

But fish in the bowl is lucky

'''Both''': They in for a worser fate

One day when the boss get hungry...

Glum fish: Guess who's gon' be on the plate?

'''Sebastian''': Uh-oh!

Under the sea

Under the sea

Nobody beat us

Fry us and eat us

In fricassee

We what 'de land folks loves to cook

Under the sea we off the hook

We got no troubles,

Life is the bubbles!

Under the sea ('''Snails:''' Under the sea)

Under the sea ('''Snails:''' Under the sea)

Since life is sweet here,

We got the beat here

Naturally

'''Snails:''' Naturally-y-y-y

'''Sebastian:''' Even the sturgeon an' the ray

They get the urge 'n' start to play

We got the spirit

You got to hear it

Under the sea!

The newt play the flute

The carp play the harp

The plaice play the bass

And they soundin' sharp

The bass play the brass

The chub play the tub

The fluke is the duke of soul ('''Fish:''' Yeah!)

The ray he can play

The lings on the strings

The trout rockin' out

The blackfish she sings

The smelt and the sprat

They know where it's at

An' oh that blowfish blow!

(Flounder comes swimming around looking in crowd of dancing sea animals but the gets caught by a female fish and get shake by her bottom before he managed to get out and find Ariel. He whispers to Ariel which she looks shocked with a smile and followed him. Sebastian and the rest continued on without knowing)

Yeah!

Under the sea

('''Chorus:''' Under the sea)

Under the sea

('''Chorus:''' Under the sea)

When the sardine

Begin the beguine,

It's music to me

('''Chorus:''' Music is to me)

What do they got? A lot of sand

We got a hot crustacean band

Each little clam here

Know how to jam here

Under the sea!

Each little slug here

Cuttin' a rug here

Under the sea!

Each little snail here

Know how to wail here

That's why it's hotter

Under the water!

Ya we in luck here

Down in the muck here

Under the sea!

(Songs ends)

'''Sebastian''': Ariel? (the fish swim away) Aww... Somebody's got to nail that girl's fins to the floor.

'''Misty''': (off-screen) Ash, we all knew the time was coming.

'''Sebastian''': Hmm?

'''Ash Ketchum''': But why did it have to come so soon?

'''Misty''': We have to face the facts. We must tell Ariel and her family the truth about us.

'''Ash Ketchum''': Oh, Misty, they'll be so disappointed. And you know how angry King Triton will get if we reveal ourselves to him.

'''Brock''': Well, we can't keep lying to them forever.

'''Ash Ketchum''': But her father hates humans. If we tell him that we're humans beings in mermaid swimwear, who knows what he'll do to us?

'''Sebastian''': (gasps; quietly) Ash and his friends are humans?!

'''Ash Ketchum''': And he'll probably be questioning on how we were able to breathe underwater.

'''Misty:''' Well, why don't you just go and explain it to the king?

'''Ash Ketchum''': You can't explain anything to King Triton, because you never get to say anything. I'm doomed. Ariel's longing to become part of our world and she's close to knowing our secret. And ever since she saved Prince Eric from drowning during the night of the storm, she's now head over heels with that guy. This is too much to bear. Her heart will break for sure. Ariel and her father will never trust us again. Ever. (sighs)

'''Misty''': Ash, if we want Ariel to remain our friend, we've got to tell her the truth, whether we want to or not. It's not fair to her nor to her father, her sisters, and us.

'''Brock''': It's time to stand strong, Ash. It'll be alright.

'''Ash Ketchum''': Guess you're right. This is what Zordon would want anyway.

'''Sebastian''': Zordon? They know Zordon? Oh, man! Now I got two secrets to keep. Think, Sebastian, think! I got it! When it’s just me, Ariel, and them all together, I’ll set things straight with them and Ariel will trust them even more. The Sea King will never know. What could go wrong?

Seahorse: (v.o.) Sebastian! (shows up) Sebastian, I've been looking all over for you. I've got an urgent message from the sea king.

Sebastian: The sea king?

Seahorse: He wants to see you and Ash right away; Something about Ariel. (swims off)

Sebastian: (gasps; whispers) He knows!

'''Seahorse''': (shows up to Ash) Ash, there you are! I've been looking all over for you. I've got an urgent message from the sea king.

'''Ash Ketchum''': The sea king? Why? What does he want?

'''Seahorse''': He wants to see you and Sebastian right away; Something about Ariel. (swims off)

'''Ash Ketchum''': (gasps) Oh, no. Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no. This is bad. This is really bad. We're in trouble now, guys.

'''Misty''': What? What is it, Ash?

'''Brock''': Yeah, what's wrong?

'''Ash Ketchum''': I was informed that the king wants to talk to me and Sebastian right away. I think.... (gulps and whispers) I think he's on to us.

''(Cut Io: Int. Throne Room)''

''(King Triton holds the flower Ariel gave him, laughing.)''

'''King Triton''': Let's see, now... Oh, who could the lucky merman be?

''(Triton notices Sebastian and Ash, who looks confused by his behavior. He coughs to compose himself and hides the flower.)''

'''Ash Ketchum''': Y-You wanted to see us, sir?

'''King Triton''': (chuckles) Yes, son. Come on in. Don't be so shy.

'''Sebastian''': I mustn't overreact. I must remain calm.  

''(Sebastian and Ash scamper down the path to the towering throne.)''

'''Sebastian''': (high-pitched) Yes! (clears throat) Yes, your majesty?

'''Ash Ketchum''': What can we do for you, Triton, sir?

'''King Triton''': Well, I'm concerned about Ariel. Have you two noticed she's been acting peculiar lately?

'''Sebastian''': Oh, uh, peculiar?

'''Ash Ketchum''': Uh,… Just how peculiar, your majesty?

'''King Triton''': You know, moping about? Daydreaming? Singing to herself? You haven't noticed, hmm?

'''Ash Ketchum''': Well, uh, I have. But, um, I don't see what's so strange about that. Didn’t you think so, Sebastian?

'''Sebastian''': Oh - well, I -

'''King Triton''': Sebastian...

'''Sebastian''': Hmmm?

'''King Triton''': ''(beckoning Sebastian up)'' I know you've been keeping something from me...

''(Sebastian takes a gulp.)''

'''Sebastian''': Keeping... something?

'''King Triton''': About Ariel?

''(Sebastian notices his legs are shaking and covers them. Ash looks worried)''

'''Sebastian''': Ariel?

'''King Triton''': ''(pointing his trident to a bewildered Sebastian)'' In love?

'''Sebastian''': I tried to stop her, sir! She wouldn't listen! (Ash gasps and panickily tries to keep Sebastian quiet) I told her to stay away from humans! They are bad! They are trouble! Ash and his friends are humans too! They...

'''King Triton:''' Humans?! WHAT ABOUT HUMANS!?!

'''Ash Ketchum''': (now that the jig is up) Uh-oh....

'''Sebastian''': Humans? (nervous laugh) Who said anything about humans? (gets grabbed by the angry sea king)

(King Triton glares angrily at Ash)

'''Ash Ketchum''': (nervously) N-N-Now, your majesty, let me explain... (gets grabbed by the ear by the angry sea king) Ahh!

'''King Triton''': We'll talk about this once we find Ariel, young man. For we have some important matters to discuss right this very minute! (swims off to find Ariel while dragging Ash by the ear in anger)

'''Ash Ketchum''': Ow! Ow! Hey, watch it! Ow! That hurts! Ouch! Ow! Ow! Ow!

(Uh-oh! This is not good. Definitely not good at all. Ash is in hot water now that Sebastian has spilled the beans and accidentally revealed his true identity as well as his friends' identities to the king. Now things are about to get drastic as he drags both Ash and Sebastian to the grotto where Ariel is with her collection. What is Ash going to do now? And how is he going to fix this?)
