Chapter 20: Team Up

John woke up the susunod morning before dawn and headed to the village he wanted to do something special for Ariel but he didn't know what he wasn't when it came to romancing a women and Nakoma was the only person he could think of who could help him. She lived on the far side of the village susunod to the river he couldn't believe how peaceful it was so serene he was about to call her name when she was walking out of the tent "Oh John what are you doing here?", "I'm hope I didn't startle you", "No not at all" she smiled "I need you help", "With what exactly?"
"I want to do something special for Ariel today", "Oh how sweet", "Yes" he sinabi throwing his arms up in frustration "But I don't know what to do I'm not like most guys I would rather go out and explore new places make discoveries than deal with
anything to do with romance".
Nakoma could tell this was making him upset she knelt down beside him and lifted up his head " Oh John you don't have to be a romantic to do something special just let it come from your puso but if it means that much to you I would be happy to help", "Oh thank you Nakoma what do you think ooo maybe we could have a big banquet with music and dancing oh she loves dancing or maybe ... "Don't you think that's a little much", "Your right oh what am I going to do", "Why don't you just do something simple like perhaps a picnic and a bangka ride on the lagoon","You think she would like that?", "I do" she smiled again "Then let's do it."

Ariel became very suspicious she hadn't seen John all araw and Nakoma hadn't come this morning either "Don't worry Ariel I'm sure everything's fine" sinabi dapa he hated seeing her so worried when they suddenly heard someone calling her name "Ariel Ariel" it was Nakoma "Ariel oh there you are my goodness your not dressed and your covered in sand come on let's get you cleaned up".
After her bath Nakoma picked out a beautiful blue dress for her wear and did her hair "Why do I look so nice" Ariel mouthed "It's a surprise" Nakoma replied placing a pretty bow in her hair "There you look beautiful" Ariel looked at herself in the mirror it was getting late and no one had heard anything from John", "Come with me" sinabi Nakoma Ariel quickly grabbed Sebastian and placed him in her pocket.
She led Ariel back to her village arm in arm she was wondering where Nakoma was taking her when she saw John's smiling face holding a yellow bulaklak in his hands "This is for you its called a sunflower", "Thank you" Ariel mouthed with a smile on her face he smiled back at her "Come with me" placing his arm around her leading a little ways outside the village into a field of sunflowers a blanket was laid out with silverware, food, and even a cute little tsaa pot and a bangka was in water not to far from them "This is for you Nakoma helped", "Thank you" Ariel mouthed as she walked over to blanket John helped her down onto the ground then walked over to the other side across from her this was the sweetest thing anyone had ever done for her.
As they ate John told her about how he had Nakoma had been planning it the entire araw and how excited and nervous he was planning it all for her after they were finished Ariel started picking things up "Oh no leave it Nakoma sinabi that she would get it come on there's something I want to ipakita you Ariel took his hand as helped her into the bangka rowing down the soft, quiet river she wondered where he was taking her.
He had been paddling for quite awhile and Ariel was starting to wonder if they were going to be there soon when suddenly she spotted a leafy canopy up ahead it reminded her of the one she went through on her bangka ride with Eric "Isn't it beautiful" John asked as he rowed inside Ariel nodded "I was in a place just like this once with a friend of mine hmm so many memories" he stopped and took Ariel's hands in his "Ariel I um I hope this is something you'll always remember I wanted to do something special huah ah I've never met anyone like you Ariel your kind and understanding I feel like I can tell you anything there's something I really need to get off my chest" in the back of her mind Ariel was hoping he would confess how much he cared for her just as he did for him with all her puso and soul. "I've been having a hard time lately you see I ... I have been mending from a broken puso of a girl I still pag-ibig she showed a whole new meaning of life and what it means to live especially with someone you pag-ibig I thought she loved me Ariel I gave her my puso but hers belongs to someone else and ever since the araw I Nawawala her forever its been hard for me to ilipat on but then when I'm with you everything changes I feel like I oh I'm sorry I'm ruining everything aren't I I'm not the most romantic" Ariel placed her hand on his cheek "It's ok I understand" she mouthed.
Sebastian watched as they looked into each others eyes "Ah man this boy needs help" he jumped into the water and grabbed a piece of damo using it as a paton "First we've got to create the mood percussion" the ducks began to drum on the turtles stomach's "Strings" grasshoppers began to play with their legs" Winds" and the wind began to blow "Words there you see her sitting there across the way
she don't got a lot to say, but there's something about her and you don't know why, but you're dying to try you wanna, halik the girl", "Did you hear something?" asked John she nodded no " Yes, you want her look at her you know you do possible she wants you too, there is one way to ask her. It don't take a word, not a single word, go on and halik the girl."

It was working as Sebastian continued to sing John wanted to halik her madami and and slowly started moving in closer to Ariel " Now's your moment floating in a blue lagoon boy you better do it soon no time will be better she don't say a word and she won't say a word until you, halik the girl. Sha la la la la la don't be scared you've got the mood prepared go on and halik the girl. Sha la la la la la don't stop now don't try to hide it how, you wanna halik the girl. Sha la la la la la float along, and listen to the song the song say, halik the girl sha la la la la the music play do what the music says you gotta, halik the girl go on you gotta, halik the girl." John was about to halik Ariel when the bangka suddenly tipped over "Wow hang on I've got ya" sinabi John Morgana's sting rays laughed evilly she gave them a potion for them to able be in fresh water while she was watching from her magic bubble "Nice work boys that was close to close that little tramp oh she's better than I thought at this rate he'll be halik her sa pamamagitan ng sunset well its time Morgana took things into her own tentacles Triton's daughter will be mine but how? Suddenly someone else showed up in her cauldron "Well now whose this fine specimen" it was Ratcliff''s twin brother Richard he was still trying to figure a way to fulfill his plan of getting his brother out of jail and becoming extremely wealthy "OOO hoo hoo its perfect! I will use Ariel's voice and pretend to be this John fellow's mystery girl and if I convince this Richard that I can set his brother free and make him the wealthiest man in the world and if he becomes my partner while he kills him to avenge his brother I'll use King Triton's pag-ibig sick girl as a trade to get the trident the ocean will be mine all the power of the seven seas will be in my command and I'll have no need for him oh I pag-ibig it now to pay him a little visit hmmm hm hm."

Morgana quickly made a potion to transform herself into a human it was night time cold and dark as she appeared in front of Captian Richard on the deck holding a lantern and was about grab something from his quarters "Hello handsome", "Ahh who who are you?", "That doesn't matter I have a business proposition for you", "I'm sorry but I don't make deals with talking sea creatures", "Oh pity I was going to help you become a wealthy man and save your brother from rotting inside a jail cell but I guess I'll to take my business matter else where" she was about to push herself off the rail and back into the ocean when "NO WAIT" and evil smile on her face she turned around playing nice "What exactly is your proposition?" she lifted her hands and placed her arm around his shoulders "Oh its quite simple really you take out old Smithy and I'll give you everything you little puso desires", "Everything even make me King of England", "But of course with a snap of my fingers", "Oh how I despise that scum you've got yourself a deal", "Excellent."
