Brody's POV

"Sora, not so fast!" Donald said as Sora has run up the next floor before us "We don't have time! They've got Naminé" Sora said "We gotta rescue her!" He said anxious "Phew, Sora sure does seem like he's upset" Goofy said "You'd be too" Donald said "He just remembered a friend but found out she's in trouble!" He said "Good point" Goofy said "I guess if we heard that the king was in danger, we would be pretty upset about that, too" He said and I silently walk to the door and hold the Atlantica card up and we head inside.

"Gawrsh! This looks like the bottom of the sea" Goofy said "It sure does. So how come we can breathe?" Sora asks "Hmm.... Beats me! Maybe someone cast a spell on us?" Goofy asks "It's just like breathing air!" Sora said "But it's not air. See? Someone's swimming this way!" Donald said and we see Ariel swimming with Triton's trident "If anyone asks, you didn't see me!" Ariel said "What?" Donald asks "Sorry, I don't have time to explain. Just promise you won't tell!" Ariel said "Hey, what's that sparkling thingy you got there?" Goofy asks "Oh, nothing- nothing at all! Remember, you didn't see me!" Ariel said and swims away "Well. Looked like she was in a hurry" Donald said "She was hiding something" Sora said "I wonder what it was?" Donald asks and we walk off.

*Later*

We arrived to Triton's Palace and found Sebastian "Oh, woe is me..." Sebastian said "Is something wrong?" Sora asks "Someone stole the king's magic trident. Atlantica is defenseless!" Sebastian said "And to top it off, Princess Ariel has disappeared!" He said "King Triton's worried sick. He won't leave his chambers" He said "Ariel? She disappeared?" Sora asks "Ariel's friend Flounder would know where she is, but now he's gone, too" Sebastian said "Wait a sec... Didn't we just see Ariel?" Sora asks us "Yep. But she didn't look real happy to see US!" Goofy said "Hey, wasn't she carrying something when we saw her?" He asks "You don't think that was the trident?" Sora asks "You know, maybe it was" Jiminy said "Wak?" Donald asks "But that means Ariel stole it!" He said "There must be some explanation" Jiminy said "Ariel! Where did you swim off to this time? If anything happens to you...the king will think it's all my fault!" Sebastian said "He told me to keep an eye on her, and now this!" He said "What if she ran away because of something I said?!" He asks "King Triton will banish me forever!" He said "He'll pop his shell if we tell him Ariel took the trident" Sora said to us "Guess we'll have to get to the bottom of this ourselves!" Goofy said and we left.

*Later*

"There she is!" Sora said when we arrived to Ariel's grotto "This is all my fault. I wish I'd never taken Daddy's trident" Ariel said "I should've known things would turn out this way" She said "She DID take it!" Donald said "Pipe down! Somebody's comin'!" Goofy said "No need to worry, child. You did the right thing" Ursula said appearing "Why, I'm sure you'd do anything in the world to help your little friend" She said "Poor Flounder has been swept away to the human world. No place for a little fish" She said "Why, if we don't hurry, you might not have a friend to save-" She said "No!" Ariel said "Besides, you're noy GIVING me the trident, dear-just letting me borrow it for a bit" Ursula said "You can save Flounder! Lend me the trident, and I'll help you!" She said "I know. But Daddy needs the trident to defend Atlantica" Ariel said "I need time to think" She said "Well, it's all the same to me" Ursula said "Just remember, your little friend is dodging fishhooks while you twiddle your fins" She said "Well, you can come see me once you've made up your mind" She said and disappeared "What am I going to do?" Ariel asks "Don't trust HER, that's for sure" Sora said as we walk over to her "How long have you been listening?" Ariel asks "Oh, long enough" Sora said "It doesn't matter! Sora's right! Don't trust that sea witch!" Donald said "She's up to no good. You can see it in her face!" He said "Then we all agree!" Ariel said  "The problem is, I don't have any idea where Flounder is" She said "And she's the only one who can help" She said "What about us?" Sora asks "C'mon. Let's go talk to her. You shouldn't have to do this by yourself" He said "Really? You'll come with me?" Ariel asks "You bet! I know how it feels to have friends in trouble. Let's get going!" Sora said and we all left to find Ursula.

*Later*

"My, so many guests!" Ursula said "Have you made up your mind, my dear?" She asks "I'll do anything for Flouder. But I need proof I can trust you" Ariel said "You said we could save Flounder if I gave you the trident. Well, prove it!" She said "But of course! See?" Ursula asks as she snapped her fingers and Flounder appeared "Ariel!" Flounder said "I knew something was fishy!" Donald said "There you have it. If you want your precious Flounder back, give me the trident!" Ursula said and Ariel stayed silent and gave her the trident "Ha ha! Mine at last!" Ursula said "Now I'm ruler of all the seas!" She said "Let Flounder go!" Ariel said "But of course! I'm feeling generous" Ursula said and Flounder swims to us "Which reminds me..." Ursula said "You always wanted to see other worlds, didn't you?" She asks "Well dear, I know just the world to send you to!" She said "Unfortunately, this will be a one-way trip!" She said and we got ready to fight.

*After the fight*

"Please don't be mad, Ariel. That ol' witch tricked me" Flounder said "Flounder, as long as you're safe, nothing else matters" Ariel said "Now all we have to do is return the trident and everything will be okay" She said "But what if the king finds out you're the one who took it in the first place?" Sora asks "I'll be grounded forever..." Ariel said "Ariel! Ariel! Where are you girl?" Sebastian asked swimming over  "If you can hear me, please answer!" He said "It's Sebastian! He came all this way just to find me" Ariel said "Yep, and when he does, you're gonna get it!" Goofy said "Hey, I know! Why don't you just say the sea witch stole the trident?" Sora asks "And you got it back all by yourself! Then there's no way you'll get in trouble!" He said "I just had the same idea!" Ariel said "But....I can't do that" She said "I don't want to get in trouble, but I can't lie. Not about this" She said "I know I haven't made the best decisions lately" She said "It was a mistake to take the trident" She said "But I made that mistake because I wanted to help you, Flounder. I'm proud of that" She said "Blamming someone else would mean giving those feelings up. So, I'm going to tell the truth" She said "She's right, Sora! Honesty is the best policy" Jiminy said "Hey, I was just kidding! Great, now I'M the one in hot water!" Sora said and then we went our ways and finally got back to the castle.

Sora and I gasped as we saw Riku walking down the stairs "You're...Riku?!" Sora asks suprised "What are YOU doing here?" He asks "Nit happy to see me?" Riku asks "Lemme know if I'm getting in the way-ya know, of something that's more important" He said "Huh? I didn't mean that..." Sora said "Hmph. Spare the excuses. I bet that you had all but forgotten about me" Riku said "Are you crazy? C'mon. Brody and I came all this way looking for YOU!" Sora said "But you're not anymore, right?" Riku asks "Now it's only.... Naminé that you're looking for" He said and I looked at him confused 'What? Him too?' I thought confused "You don't care about me. Just like you never cared-at all about her feelings" Riku said "Naminé's...?" Sora asks "Hmph. I knew it. Never even gave it a thought, did you?" Riku asks "Just cuz you want to see Naminé -sorry- doesn't go both ways" He said "Tell ya the truth, Naminé doesn't even want to look at your face" He said "Why not?!" Sora asks "You should ask your memories...why Naminé disappeared from the islands" Riku said "Remember that, and you'd know" He said "Did I... Did I do something? Is it my fault?" Sora asks "Riku..." He said and Riku transformed into his dark form "Go home, Sora. I'll care for Naminé" Riku said "Anyone who goes near her..." He said summoning his keyblade "....goes through me!" He said dashing at Sora to strike but I got infront of Sora and blocked the attack with my keyblade "What's-What's wrong with you?! We're supposed to be friends!" Sora said to Riku "Please, Sora. Since when have you ever cared about me?" Riku asks "Naminé's not the only one who's sick of looking at you. So am I!" He said and I pushed him back "Riku, stop it!" Sora said and we got ready to fight.

*After a fight*

Riku pants after we beat him and runs away up the stairs "Riku! Please wait!" Sora said but he was gone. "Hey Sora. Can I ask something?" I said "Oh? Yeah. What's wrong?" Sora asks feeling down from what Riku said "Where's your heart locket?" I asked and there was a short silence "What heart locket?" Sora asks geniunly confused 'This is what I feared' I thought "The one I gave you before going back to Hollow Bastion" I said "You never gave me a heart locket" Sora said "All I have is the good luck charm Naminé gave me" He said and I stay silent "Brody?" Sora asks worried and I walk up the stairs to the next floor.

I don't know what's going on yet, but I will get to the bottom of this.
