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

== In the morning/Telling her sisters the truth ==
(In the morning, Sebastian crawls up to King Triton in his throne room)

* '''Sebastian:''' Good morning, Your Highness.
* '''King Triton:''' Sebastian. Marina.
* '''Sebastian:''' [gasps]
* '''Marina Del Rey:''' Good morning, Your Majesty.
* '''King Triton:''' I have a problem.

(Sebastian is shocked)

* '''King Triton:''' It's Ariel.
* '''Sebastian:''' Ariel? I...
* '''Marina Del Rey:''' 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?
* '''Sebastian:''' Absolutely! Your Highness, she is young, going through a phase.
* '''King Triton:''' I don't remember having this much trouble with any of her sisters.
* '''Marina Del Rey:''' I do! They're all a handful. We should shave their heads.
* '''Sebastian:''' [yelps]
* '''Marina Del Rey:''' Just kidding.
* '''King Triton:''' Alana wasn't difficult at all.
* '''Sebastian:''' Yes, Your Majesty. But Arista and the blowfish incident, remember?
* '''Marina Del Rey:''' Oh! It took weeks to clean up the palace.
* '''Sebastian:''' And how about Aquata and that stingray?
* '''Marina Del Rey:''' I can still feel it.
* '''King Triton:''' Well...
* '''Sebastian:''' Or the time Attina got her head stuck in the conch shell.
* '''Marina Del Rey:''' That was me.
* '''King Triton:''' Well, perhaps you're right, Sebastian. Still, it seems Marina could use some help. I want you to look after Ariel. No offense, Marina.
* '''Marina Del Rey:''' None taken.

(They bow down as King Triton leaves)

* '''Marina Del Rey:''' Soft shell.
* '''Sebastian:''' Tardy girl.
* '''Marina Del Rey:''' Stick eye.
* '''Sebastian:''' Fish lips.
* '''Marina Del Rey:''' Backstabber.
* '''Sebastian:''' Fashion disaster
* '''Marina Del Rey:''' Bottom feeder!
* '''Sebastian:''' Babysitter!
* '''King Triton:''' Dismissed.

[That got them to stop fighting. Meanwhile, we go to Ariel humming "I Remember" in her sleep, but then she and the gang wake up to see her sisters staring at them)

* '''Princess Ariel''' What? (looks at her sisters being suspicious) What?
* '''Princess Attina:''' Uh... she was humming.
* '''Princess Ariel:''' [gasps] I was?
* '''Princess Arista:''' Out loud.
* '''Princess Ariel:''' Don't worry. (swims to her mirror) It was just a dream.
* '''Princess Alana:''' I'll tell you what wasn't a dream. We woke up at midnight.
* '''Princess Aquata:''' And your bed was still empty. You somehow left with your new friends.
* '''Princess Ariel:''' Really?
* '''Princess Andrina:''' Yeah. That is two hours past curfew.
* '''Princess Ariel:''' Oh.
* '''Princess Andrina:''' Ooh, was it a boy?
* '''Princess Adella:''' If it's a boy, I'm gonna die.
* '''Princess Aquata:''' Ugh... Drama.
* '''Princess Adella:''' 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.
* '''Princess Andrina:''' Ew! Squid-Lips Stevie?
* '''Princess Adella:''' It was on a dare.
* '''Princess Andrina:''' Whatever.
* '''Princess Attina:''' Girls, let's stick to the subject.
* '''Princess Ariel:''' Well, it wasn't a boy, OK? We were just helping a friend. Out past the kelp forest.
* '''Princess Aquata:''' Ooh! Past the kelp forest. It wasn't a boy. It was a bad boy.
* '''Princess Arista:''' [gasping] Oh, Ariel.
* '''Princess Aquata:''' Simmer down there, sister.
* '''Princess Attina:''' So you were just helping a friend?
* '''Princess Ariel:''' Um... Yep.
* '''Princess Attina:''' Then, where'd you get... this!
* '''Ariel's Sisters:''' [all gasp]
* '''Princess Attina:''' Can you imagine what'd happen if Dad found it?
* '''Princess Ariel:''' He's never here.
* '''Princess Attina:''' Don't get cute with me. This is serious. Where were you guys?
* '''Princess Ariel:''' We were just... listening to music in an underground club.
* '''Princess Attina:''' OK, where were you really?
(Ariel gives them the look)
* '''Sisters:''' [gasping] Listening to music?
* '''Princess Aquata:''' No way.
* '''Princess Arista:''' What was it like?
* '''Princess Andrina:''' Come on. Spill it.
* '''Princess Ariel:''' [laughs] Oh, it was amazing. The energy, the dancing, the music... Just makes you feel like...
* '''Princess Aquata:''' Like what?
* '''Princess Ariel:''' Like when Mom was here.
* '''Sisters:''' [murmuring]
* '''Princess Arista:''' Ariel, Ash, I wanna hear it, too.
* '''Princess Ariel:''' You do?
* '''Princess Aquata:''' Me, too.
* '''Princess Adella:''' OK. Me, too.
* '''Princess Alana:''' Me, too! Me, too!
* '''Princess Andrina:''' Not without me.
* '''Princess Arista:''' Yeah. Everybody does. Please, Ariel. Please?
* '''Princess Ariel:''' Well...
* '''Princess Attina:''' Oh!
* '''Princess Ariel:''' We'll go tonight.
* '''Princess Arista:''' I'm so excited!
* '''Princess Aquata:''' Music!
* '''Princess Alana:''' What should I wear?
* '''Princess Adella:''' So you think there'll be boys?
* '''Princess Andrina:''' Only one way to find out.
* '''Princess Attina:''' This is not happening! You go again and I...
* '''Princess Andrina:''' Oh, lighten up.
* '''Princess Ariel:''' Come on.
* '''Girls:''' [all make begging faces] Mmm?
* '''Princess Attina:''' OK.

(The girls cheer as Marina and Benjamin arrive)

* '''Marina Del Rey:''' Come on, girls. Uppy-up.
* '''Princess Andrina:''' Morning.
* '''Benjamin:''' They're early.
* '''Marina Del Rey:''' Yes. But why?

(At the Catfish Club)

* '''Flounder:''' Get your sea kelp. Salty or extra salty.
* '''Female fish:''' Hey, Ray-Ray. You gonna rock the house tonight?
* '''Ray-Ray:''' Well, wouldn't be here just for the halibut.

(Ray-Ray swims off as the gang comes in and the music plays)

* Oh, Ray-Ray. - This is so exciting! Hey, you're in my personal space. - Stop pushing me. - OK, bossy. Whatever. [up-tempo music plays]
* '''Sisters:''' Music!
* '''Princess Ariel:''' I know! Isn't it fantastic? And we're here together!
* '''Sisters [Except Attina and Andrina]:''' Yeah!

(They cheer)

* '''Princess Adella:''' Boys, here I come! [chuckling]
* '''Princess Attina:''' Wow. This really is... fantastic.
* '''Princess Andrina:''' Yeah. I'm scared!
* '''Princess Attina:''' Me, too.
* '''Princess Andrina:''' I thought I was the only one. - No, no, no, no...
* '''Swifty:''' [Offscreen] Ladies and gentlemen, The Catfish Club is proud to present...
* '''Princess Andrina:''' Let's just go!
* '''Swifty''' The original rock lobster. The one, the only, red tornado! [all cheering]

'''[Sebastian]'''
:''Chick-a-chicka, chick-a-chicka, hey!''
:''All right, mon''

* '''Attina and Andrina:''' Sebastian?

(They go to him)

* '''Princess Attina:''' Way to go, Sebastian!
* '''Princess Andrina:''' I love you, Sebastian.

(Sebastian is now shocked to see Attina and Andrina)

* '''Princess Andrina:''' Hi!
* '''Princess Attina:''' Whoo!
* '''Princess Adella:''' OK. Where are the boys?

(A sea creature comes to her)

* '''Princess Adella:''' Are you a boy? Good enough.

(They begin dancing)

* '''Princess Adella:''' Whoa! I'm Adella.

(They continue dancing)

* '''Princess Arista:''' This is the most exciting thing that's ever happened to me in my whole life!

(They play the instruments and continue to dance, as the lobster came to Aquata)

* '''Lobster:''' Would you like to dance?
* '''Princess Aquata:''' No, thanks.

(Attina kicks her fins with the two female fish and Andrina is with Cheeks playing the trumpet, and then Ariel and Flounder watch the starfish doing the limbo)

* '''Dolphin:''' Let's dance.
* '''Princess Aquata:''' No, thanks.
* '''Fish:''' Would ya like to dance?
* '''Princess Aquata:''' [growls] I can't dance, OK? I'm a mermaid with no grace. I look like a spastic piece of kelp.
* '''Princess Andrina:''' Let's go.
* '''Princess Aquata:''' Seriously. No, I mean it. You guys, I can't...
* '''Princess Alana:''' Come on.

(Aquata dances terribly)

* '''Princess Alana:''' That's it!
* '''Princess Andrina:''' You've got it! She really can't dance. - Oh, wow!
* '''Cheeks:''' Yeah! There ain't no problem with that. Ah-cha, cha, cha.
* '''Princess Arista:''' Thank you.
* '''Princess Attina:''' You were right, Ariel. Mom would've loved this.
* '''Princess Andrina:''' Yeah.
* '''Aquata and Alana:''' Thanks!
* '''Princess Adella:''' You're the best.
* '''Princess Arista:''' Really.

(They cheer on as Ariel swims the loop. We go to Marina who sees that the beds are empty, and she gets suspicious with this. As we go to the heroes dancing another party

* '''Flounder:''' Ha!

(Marina swims up and spots the girls dancing towards the music)

* '''Marina Del Rey:''' Huh? 

(Then she sees Sebastian there dancing as well, and Marina is shocked and surprised by this)

* '''Sebastian:''' We be jammin', mon.

(Marina sees this as an opportunity to get his place and she swims off somewhere as the party finishes)

* '''Sebastian:''' That's right!

(At the girls' room)

* '''Princess Andrina:''' Good night, Ariel.
* '''Princess Ariel:''' Good night, Andrina.
* '''Princess Arista:''' Zap-it-y-do-dah, zow!
* '''Princess Ariel:''' [laughs] Night, Arista.
* '''Princess Alana:''' Sweet dreams, Ariel.
* '''Princess Ariel:''' You, too, Alana.
* '''Princess Alana:''' Good night, Adella.
* '''Princess Adella:''' I still didn't get to kiss a boy.

(Aquata kisses her doll)

* '''Princess Alana:''' Good night, Aquata.
* '''Princess Aquata:''' Night.
* '''Princess Attina:''' [snoring]
* '''Princess Ariel:''' Good night, Attina.
* '''Marina Del Rey:''' Your Highness. We need to talk.
