[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] 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]
King Triton:
[clears throat]
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:
Oh! 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.
Marina Del Rey:
[shrieks]
King Triton:
No offense, Marina.
Marina Del Rey:
None taken. [They bow down as King Triton leaves] 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!
Marina Del Rey:
[gasps]
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 sister staring at them]
Ariel:
What? [looks at her sisters being suspicious] What?
Attina:
Uh... You were humming.
Ariel:
[gasps] I was?
Arista:
Out loud.
Ariel:
Don't worry. [swims to her mirror] It was just a dream.
Alana:
I'll tell you what wasn't a dream. We woke up at midnight.
Aquata:
And your bed was still empty.
Ariel:
Really?
Andrina:
Yeah. That is two hours past curfew.
Ariel:
Oh.
Andrina:
Ooh, was it a boy?
Adella:
If it's a boy, I'm gonna die.
Andrina:
Ugh... Drama.
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.
Andrina:
Ew! Squid-Lips Stevie?
Adella:
It was on a dare.
Andrina:
Whatever.
Attina:
Guys, let's stick to the subject.
Ariel:
Well, it wasn't a boy, OK? We were just helping a friend. Out past the kelp forest.
Aquata:
Ooh! Past the kelp forest. It wasn't a boy. It was a bad boy.
Arista:
[gasping] Oh, Ariel.
Aquata:
Simmer down there, sister.
Attina:
So you were just helping a friend?
Ariel:
Um... Yep.
Attina:
Then, where'd you get... THIS?!
Ariel's Sisters:
[all gasp]
Attina:
Can you imagine what'd happen if Dad found it?
Ariel:
He's never here.
Attina:
Don't get cute with me. This is serious. Where were you? [Andrina looks at her, Alana, Aquata, and Arista both looked at Ariel]
Ariel:
I was just... listening to music in an underground club.
Attina:
OK, where were you really? [Ariel give them the look]
Sisters:
[gasping] Listening to music?
Aquata:
No way.
Arista:
What was it like?
Andrina:
Come on. Spill it.
Ariel:
[laughs] Oh, it was amazing. The energy, the dancing, the music... Just makes you feel like...
Aquata:
Like what?
Ariel:
Like when Mom was here.
Arista:
Ariel, I wanna hear it, too.
Ariel:
You do?
Aquata:
Me, too.
Adella:
OK. Me, too.
Alana:
Me, too! Me, too!
Andrina:
Not without me.
Arista:
Yeah. Everybody does. Please, Ariel. Please?
Ariel:
Well...
Attina:
Oh!
Ariel:
We'll go tonight.
Arista:
I'm so excited!
Aquata:
Music!
Alana:
What should I wear?
Adella:
So you think there'll be boys?
Andrina:
One way to find out.
Attina:
THIS IS NOT HAPPENING! You go again and I...
Andrina:
Oh, lighten up.
Ariel:
Come on. [all]
Girls:
Mmm?
Attina:
OK. [The girls cheer as Marina and Benjamin arrives]
Marina Del Rey:
Come on, girls. Uppy-up.
Andrina:
Morning.
Benjamin:
They're early.
Marina Del Rey:
Yes. [grabs Benjamin] But WHY?! [Leave at princesses' room]
