  I bet a lot of you reading this right now have heard of the tale foretold by the animators of Disney of the 'Little Mermaid' correct? Some may not know the true tale and since this is the imagineers we are talking about, they elect out the true ending to the story.

  The truthful ending to this wonderful tale is that our beautiful mermaid princess and her prince both die, much like Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet'. The princess ends up turning into sea foam at the confession of her love to her prince.

  So now you expect this story to go on pretty much as it is told, right? But there are many variations of this story. Take 'Mermaid Melody' as a perfect example. Even that old teen drama 'H2O' can be used as this example. There are many different ways to go about the same story.

  Thus, this story will begin in a completely different scene then many of you are familiar with.


_______________

  Waking up to the gentle sound of gulls crying out with the wind and the rhythmic pattern of the waves crashing against the shore of the beach was just a normal everyday thing for you recently.

  Lifting your head gently, your (h/l)(h/c) hair gently grazed your neck. Looking around the room with your (e/c) eyes, you noticed the balcony door was opened and the white curtain that separated your room from the outside was bellowing with the wind.

  The room you had begun to grow close to was white, but held a tropical feel to it. Probably because outside, the beach held most of the scenery. There wasn't much in your room; just a bed with coral colored sheets and a beautiful hardwood dresser with carvings of mermaids on the side.

  "Miss ________, are you awake?" You hear Lili's innocent voice call from the other side of the door which stood in the right corner of the room.

  Smiling a small bit, you run your fingers through your (h/l) hair,"Yes Lili. Please come in."

  The short, blond haired girl entered the room, looking at you sweetly with her beautiful ocean-colored green eyes,"Good morning ma'am."

  "Good morning Lili. I see you came in earlier,"You averted your gaze to the open balcony door.

  "Y-yes ma'am." She seemed a bit nervous. She might've thought that you would be upset about it,"I-I came up a bit earlier and the room seemed so stuffy. I hope you do not mind."

  Sitting up in your bed, you gently reassured her that it was fine,"I don't mind. It seems like such a wonderful day out. I only wish we could go for a swim..." You gave her a suggestive look.

  "Y-you know we can't do that ma'am! I-I mean...what if we get...caught?" She almost whispered the last part.

  You laughed gently, standing up now,"Come on Lili, no one will know!" You took and hand and took off in a sprint. You were still in your nightgown but you could care less. There was no resistance from Lili and before you knew it, you stood beside a rocky ledge.

  You looked at her and simply knew she was not going to go in. So you nodded at her and took a plunge under the cold, blue water. You opened your (e/c) eyes and took in a deep breath. Looking behind you, your (f/c) tail had returned. Your (h/c) hair wafted through the water as you looked around.

  There were various species of fish swimming around in peace and serenity. You gently held your hand out to stroke them as they swam past you. How did your brother think this was dangerous? There is nothing wrong with a swim in the water every now and then.

  You rushed up to the surface, the sun shinning brightly in your face as you broke the surface. You took in a large amount of fresh ocean air from above before looking up at Lili,"See Lili! Nothing to worry about!"

  "P-please ma'am, Prince Arthur will be most upset if he finds out!" She said a bit nervously.

  "Forget what he thinks!" You snapped a bit,"My brother is so stuck up! There is nothing wrong in the-" A tugging at your torso cut you off and before you knew it, you were being dragged into the depths of the water, screaming out for help as the surface grew further and further away.

  You went to take a breath in, but you choked on the water. Somehow, whatever was pulling you under managed to change you back into your human form and now, it was only a matter of time before you would die.

  Rapidly, you tried fighting against whatever was taking you, but you blacked out.

___________________

  Waking up, you found yourself in an element room, your bed surrounded by deep red curtains and silk cloths covering you. The bedposts were made of a dark hardwood.  So much hand craft was put into the making of this alone.

  Then you noticed the walls were an element cream color and much like your own room, there was a balcony but the door wasn't opened and there were no curtains surrounding the clear door. You could also see the most beautiful view of the ocean with the sun setting into the water itself while orange, red and violet colors surrounded it.

  Sitting up a bit, you felt a sharp, stabbing pain on your right side but chose to easily ignore it. You stood up, wondering where the heck you were and why you weren't dead right now.

  You walked over to the door and slid it open. You loved the sound it made when it hit the end for some reason. Taking a step outside, you noticed that your cloths had been changed as well. You wore a skirt and just a normal tee.

  Pulling a few loose strands of (h/l)(h/c) hair behind your ear as the wind gently blew through your hair. Looking to the right,there was a very handsome man with the most pale-looking skin you've seen and white hair which was billowing in the breeze as well standing on a balcony beside yours. He seemed to be in deep thought right now, gazing into the beautiful sunset.

  "U-um...excuse me," You called out to him shyly.

  Looking over at you, his eyes shone a crimson color and seemed to sparkle. He had an amazing smile plastered on his face,"Glad to see zhat you're avake fraü." He had a foreign accent.

  "What happened sir?" You asked politely. He or someone here must've saved you.

  He laughed a bit,"You must've gotten caught on a line or somezhing fraü. You vere being pulled deep under zhe vater und you almost drowned. You got a nasty cut on your right thigh."

  Curtsying a bit at him, you thanked him generously,"Thank you sir for saving my life. Allow me to introduce myself. I am called ________."

  He bowed a bit himself, but it didn't seem to suit him,"My name is Prince Gilbert Beildshimst zhe First."

  'A prince?' You though a bit surprised. This goofball didn't look anything like a prince to you,"I am charmed to meet you sir. O-oh...Arthur must be so worried. C-can you tell me if you saw a blond girl nearby?"

  He pondered for a moment, making himself look like he was thinking very deeply about such a little thing,"Uh, short blond hair und teal eyes?" You nodded happily,"Ja, she vas on zhe rocks but by zhe time I got you out of zhe vater, she vas gone."

  You nodded. Eventually, you would have to get in contact with them,"Thank you, but I am afraid I must see myself off."

  "Vait...tonight ve have our annual ball." You felt a twinge of familiarity,'Arthur was going to take me here...'  You listened to him again,"I don't have a date to mein own party. So if you don't mind fraü...?"

  You thought about it for a few moments. On one hand, you would easily get to see Arthur and everyone and easily be able to get home. On the other hand, Alfred (your fiancé to be) would be there.

  "S-sure-"

  "I'll get Lizzie to dress you for tonight!" With that, he took off and all you could do was stare at the sunset until a pretty young lady with brown hair and shimmering green eyes entered your room.

  She bowed her head a bit,"Master Gilbert asked for assistance for you. He invited you to the ball. That's awful special."

  You nodded while taking a few steps into the door,"I-it's not that special. I used to go to these things all the time."

  "You are of royalty!?" She was filled with wonderment, awe and excitement,"Prince Gilbert is really taken with you! And if you are of royalty, you two can wed!"

  "M-married!?" You took a step back in shock,"Y-you don't understand. I'm-" But you stopped. You didn't want to marry Alfred. And no one said you would have to anyway. He was your fiancé TO BE! "Then again...he is a really good looking Prince."

  "So where do you hail from Lady _______?"

  You laughed nervously as she started rummaging through the closet in the room which was full of elegant dresses,"Ehehe...it's a long story. I don't live too far from here, but then again, I do live far from here...it's complicated."

  She laughed a bit,"I heard this story about kingdoms underwater with mermaids and such." You laughed with her, even more nervous now,"But that is just a myth; a wife's tale. It's just that you seem like you could be a mermaid. You have that...essence."

  "T-thank you."

  "Here it is!" She pulled out a simple but gorgeous gown out and handed it to you,"Change quickly. The part is going to start soon."

______________

  You watched in the mirror as Lizzie brushed out your (h/l) hair and decorating you with pearl jewelry. The gown you wore was a light blue/aqua color which showed off your curves a bit. It flowed as freely as the waves near the bottom and it was strapless; the top in the shape of a heart and let your back show bare.

  She stuck a small silver crown on the top of your head with an aquamarine stone in the middle, signifying royalty in this area. Looking at yourself, you breathed with awe. You looked like you were a princess out of a fairy tale; one of the only things that you enjoyed about being a princess, even if your kingdom was hidden beneath the waves.

  She gave you a pair of sparkling silver heels to slide onto your feet and you were off to the gala. You waited for Gilbert to come out and seeing him dressed up as such a royal prince made your face glow red. He was extremely good looking.

  He held his hand out and you gently slid your petite one into his. He kissed it swiftly before offering his arm. You giggled a bit and took his arm gently before making your way in with him.

  Seeing the people all dressed up so beautifully and the decorations hung around the ballroom so delicately made your (e/c) eyes shimmer with excitement. Upon entering, every eye turned to the two of you. There were surprised and confused murmurs coming from the crowd below.

  "I need to introduce you to mein bruder if you don't mind." He spoke as he led you down the elegant marble staircase that you both stood upon.

  "U-uh...s-sure-"

  "Miss ______!" An angered voice shocked you into almost falling. Guess who's big brother was waiting for you at the end of the staircase instead,"We. Need. To. Talk."

  He snatched your wrist painfully when you made it up to him, only to see Gilbert snatched his even harder, causing I'm to let you go,"I'm sorry sir, but vhat exactly do you vant vith mein fraü?"

  Arthur yanked his wrist from Gilbert's hand quickly,"What do you mean 'your' frau?" He shot you an angered glance,"She is my sister. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Prince Arthur Kirkland and this is my younger sister, Princess ______."

  He looked at you a bit confused,"Zhe vhy zhe hell vere you in zhe vater-"

  "You did what!?" Oh god.

  "I-I can explain brother...I-"

  He snatched your wrist again, but this time, you didn't bother. You were dead now,"Excuse us, but we must leave."

  With that, he yanked you away from everyone, every eye in the room still on you and Arthur. When you two were outside, the real punishment began,"Love, I cannot believe you would go off and do something like that! You could've easily been killed! You're worse than that bloody git Alfred!"

  "Arthur! I'm a mermaid! A mermaid! I was born to swim!" You snapped back at him. Mainly, you were pissed that he took you away from what might've been a wonderful night with your Prince.

  "I don't give a shit!" He snapped right back, pulling you through the road,"Do you not get why we took you away! They're after you ________! If you die, we're done for!" He sighed as the familiar sight of the house on the cliff came into the horizon,"Take a bath and go to bed. I'm done with you for tonight."

  He allowed you in and immediately, you began to fill a bath to sit in and just relax. As soon as you touched the water, your tail replaced your legs once more. You let your fins fan though the air to replicate swimming, but it wasn't the same.

  "The deep-sea girl, sinking ever still," You sung out gently,"Shut away beyond darkness. The deep-sea girl, she yet wants to know, because she's found the one who captivates her heart."

  Looking to your right thigh which was in so much pain before, you saw nothing.  Curious. Very curious.
Yup, I'm giving in and doing this too. xD

I used to RP a lot and mainly, I used mermaids and I can easily descirbe the beach, the melody that comes with it; the waves, the seagulls and the cool wind which blows in your hair...
I miss summer now.

Oh well, part one of maybe a 5 part story.

I don't own Hetalia or ANY of the shows/movies named!

The deep-sea girl, pulling by the arm,
Sings a blessing of marine snow
The deep-sea girl, she wants to know more,
Because she's found the one who captivates her heart...


I love that song. :3
