Girls, why not have your ball at the Atlantican embassy near the Briar Patch?
If not, maybe the FDC Castle. Either way, whatever you decide, I shall support
your decision.
<turns to Aquata> As for you, Aquata, I receieved a message from a baron who
wishes to be your suitor. But since I cannot force my decisions (like Ariel's
case) on you, I shall trust your decision, although I granted him permission
because of his request. But remember one thing, once you are wedded, you'll
have to make a very important decision: you may either rule at your husband's
side on the surface or you may rule Atlantica once I leave. If you choose to
stay and rule on the surface, Atlantica shall be given to your sister, Andrina,
who'll have to make the same decision when her time comes.
<to the rest, except for Ariel> As for the rest of you, just remember that the
Atlantican embassy has rooms built for you while you're all on the surface as
well as dozens of various clothes that I ordered be made and placed there at
your disposal. And one more thing <Triton zaps his daughters>, now that should
do it. You each now have the full ability to change between a mer-form and
human, something which Aquata's trident isn't fully capable of.
<to all his daughters> Please be careful on the surface!

Be Careful Poppa! Don't let Gaston hear that! Now that he seems to have
finally given up any hopes of Aquata, well. . . You know he'd really like to
get his hands on a prince-hood. . .

Oh, POPPA! Thank youthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!!!!!
><to all his daughters> Please be careful on the surface!
Yes Poppa. WE're ALWAYS careful. At least, I am always careful. Though I
sometimes fear for my sisters. . . Especially Ariel. She's so caught up in her
tender nothings with ERic, that Ursula could just sneak up behind her, and she
wouldn't notice!
Love, FDC Andrina
What??!?! Oh... do you mean, Your Majesty, that if I'll become a prince-
consort (however unlikely it might be - let's just assume, for the sake of
argument), then I might NOT be living in a palace??? I might NOT have an
access to the treasury??? I WON'T have to eat all the underwater delicacies,
like a calmari boiled in its own ink or cold stuffed clams? I will NOT have
to spend my time with all the important merpeople, talking about important
and serious stuff? I will NOT have to shake tentacles with octopi and the
like?!!?
Wow! I *love* this!!! And to think that I've almost decided to break with
Aquata because I was mortified at the thought that I *might* have to do all
above!
Aquata, my love - where are you?? Your dad said that I WON'T have to live
such boring life! Let's celebrate!!!

Oh... I 've just realized, my Princess, that you are more interested in
you humble servant that you've showed. And I've thought all the time that
I was just a source of temporary relief for you in these time of crisis and
universal brouhaha. I'm happy to discover that I was - and, hopefully, am -
more than that. Let me kiss your hand, m'lady.

>><turns to Aquata> As for you, Aquata, I receieved a message from a baron who
>>wishes to be your suitor.
A *who*? A *baron*??? Oww, come on, Aquata! Aren't you tired of all these
barons, earls, counts, viscounts etc? Aren't they all the same? Don't they
even all LOOK the same?
Hopefully yours,
Royal duties? Hmmm... isn't it a *bit* too early, my lady? You father
is still alive, and there is no sign that you'll become a merqueen in
any nearest future! Of course, when you will, you'll have to take
care of shaking tentacles and such, but so far you have no such responsi-
bilities!
>I'm right here, Gaston. But if you can't see fit to accept me AND my
>responsibilities, then you never really loved me. *sigh*
I hope I won't have to accept *your* responsibilities, my princess - I
will try to accept *mine*. The chance of me becoming a merqueen is
precisely zero. :-)
Faithfully yours,
