Atlantica: Difference between revisions

One night, after a storm, Ariel swims up to the surface and finds [[Prince Eric]], unconscious, floating on a piece of wreckage and brings him to shore. Infatuated by him, she sings to him, but disappears into the sea when he begins to get out from under, leaving him curious as to who it was who saved him.

Once Sora, Donald and Goofy arrive back in Atlantica, they reunite with Ariel, Sebastian and Flounder who bring Sora back up to speed regarding his swimming skills. Sebastian introduces the group to the concert that he is planning and asks them to join him, in order to preoccupy Ariel and cheer her up. Once Sora and the others learn the basics of the concert, they [[Swim This Way|perform a song]] together. King Triton arrives by and tells Sora that he hopes the rehearsals for the concert will keep Ariel's mind off the human world. While Ariel is still unable to focus on rehearsals, Flounder suggests they give her a statue of Eric that had sunk from his wrecked ship.

The bring the statue to her grotto and to her delight, she beings to [[Part of Your World|sings]] about her fascination of life on the surface, Sora then promises to help her. Sebastian writes a [[Under the Sea|new song]], which celebrates live under the sea and puts Sora to the test in learning it.

They perform the song, but Ariel, uninterested in life under the sea, tells Sebastian she would prefer to sing about harmony between the surface and what lies beneath, to his dismay. Ariel threatens to not participate in the musical and storms off. Sebastian laments in that she has fallen in love with a human, with Triton closely eavesdrops. On the surface, Ariel brings Sora and the others to the beach to show them Eric, who is looking for the girl who had saved him that one night. They see Eric lose a pendant on the shore, however it gets lodged between a few rocks.

Once they retrieve the pendant, Ariel plans on returning it to Eric, but Triton confronts her about it, and despite her attempts to reason with him, he destroys the statue Flounder and company had brought to Ariel. Ariel flees, devasated, and is then approached by Ursula who offers to turn her into a human for three days in exchange for her voice. However, if Ariel can get Eric to kiss her before the three days are over, she will remain human, otherwise she will return to mermaid form and belong to Ursula. Sora and company arrive too late to prevent Ariel from signing Ursula's contract and unable to stop her magic, too. The help the now-human Ariel to the surface and is soon found on the beach by Eric. Although unable to speak, she returns the pendant and he takes her into his care.

Over the next few days, Sebastian and Flounder keep an eye on Ariel while Sora and his accomplices try to find Ursula, but to no avail. On the second day of Ariel's human form, Ariel and Eric nearly kiss but Flotsam and Jetsam interfere with their plans and delay the kiss even further. One the last day, and no sign of Ursula, Sora, Donald and Goofy return to the beach to see Ariel in tears, with Eric walking with a black-haired girl, [[Vanessa]], who sings in Ariel's voice. Flounder eventually recognizes the girl's necklace as being similar to the one Ursula wears and so concludes that she is Ursula in disguise. Sora uses a beam of light from the Keyblade to break the necklace and restore Ariel's voice, freeing Eric for Ursula's influence. Eric realizes Ariel is the girl who saved him but the sun sets, and Ursula, back in her true form, takes Ariel back to the sea, with Sora and company in pursuit.
