no longer drinking>

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

[Aquata sighs and mumbles to herself] Sheesh. I have one understandable weak
moment, and I'm going to be living this down for the rest of my life. I
wasn't even DRUNK! I had TWO date juices. They don't work nearly as well
on mermaids as on carpets...and the group split/Gaston thing is enough to
make anyone hit the date juice. And it's not like Daddy never took a
swig or two of Sea Anemone Ale to get through the lonely nights after Mom
died...

Yes, Daddy, I know. Mrs. Potts informed me that he had spoken with you and
you gave him the go-ahead to court me. I'm fairly hopeful. He seems like
a nice, responsible young man. It would be nice if it worked out...[Aquata
sighs again at the sorry state of her love life]

Now, Daddy, I'm surprised you even thought that. All my life you've raised
me to know my duty to Atlantica and my responsibility for guarding over the
sea...I'm not going to abandon my duty for a man. Whoever I marry is going
to have to come live in the ocean with me. The Trident is perfectly capable
of turning him into a merman, even if the logistics of turning him back are
a little fuzzy at the moment (did your workers ever make progress on that?
Oh, well. I could always keep my practice trident and zap him periodically,
that way he could always go back to the surface if he wanted.). That's why
it's so important for me to find someone who really and truly loves me and
wants to spend the rest of his life with me. He'll have to do the same thing
Ariel did; basically leave his old world behind to join me in mine.

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.

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,

Um, actually you would, Gaston. All except the eating Calamari and clams.
You know what my philosophy is on eating my subjects. But living in the
palace and talking with important merpeople you would have to do, because
I'm NOT going to abandon my royal duties. If you really can't deal with
that, then maybe you should just concentrate on Alana. I'm sorry, but
even love has to bow to duty sometimes.


>Wow! I *love* this!!! And to think that I've almost decided to break with

*sigh* Then I guess you didn't really love me, did you Gaston? If you did,
you'd be willing to join me in my life under the sea, like Ariel joined Eric
on land.


>Aquata, my love - where are you?? Your dad said that I WON'T have to live
>such boring life! Let's celebrate!!!

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*

[Aquata wanders off to find her father, since he suggested she come to him
with her problems instead of drowning them in date juice.]

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

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,

-- Vlad (FDC Gaston and merman wannabe!)
