Riana looked around, "Um...Are we...Are we underwater?" Riana asked, throughly confused. She looked at her black and gold seashell bra and her black and gold mermaid tail. She looked at Lex with a confusion and saw that he had a shark tail. "I think we are..." Lex said with the same amount of confusion. "Okay..." Riana said clearing her mind so she could think straight, "We should swim around just to get the feel of our new limbs then we should really find out where we are." Riana said in a thoughtful tone. Lex nodded.

After a few minutes, a black haired girl comes swimming in, looking happy. She runs right into Lex. "Ow...sorry." She says.

Lex turns and sees the girl. "It's fine." He says politely. Then he notices she's wearing a shirt. "Um, are you from here?" He asks. Riana swims awkwardly to him.

Melody looks nervous. "Ummm, yea." She lies.

Lex sighs with relief, "Oh good. Can you tell us where we are?" He asks. Riana swims a tad bit away and begins humming a cheery song, then sits on a rock. A red crab crawls next to her and looks up at her, "Ariel? Ariel what are you doing down here?" The crab asked. Riana nervously looked at the crab. "I....Uh..." She trailed off.

Melody swam to Riana. "She's not Ariel." She says, trying to hide her face. "As for where we are.....I'm not entirly sure."

Lex laughed a little, "So, you're not from around here." He observed. The crab sighed, "I have no one to play the lead!" He said. Riana though about it for a moment. "I'll do it." Riana said.

Melody smiled nervously, and shook her head.

Lex laughed a little. "Well it looks like we're all out of luck." He said. Riana thought about it. "Hey... Um... Where are we?" She asked just as a blue and yellow fish swam up to them.

"Your just outside Atlantica." The fish says.

The name struck a cord, "Atlantica..." Riana said to herself. Then it came to her, she turned to the crab and fish, "Do you know of a guy named Sora?" She asked.

"Sora?" The crab said. "But of course! His daughter has the most beautiful voice! Ariel taught her herself. Why do you ask?"

"Because I'm friends with his daughter... And I was just wondering if you could direct us to the... King of Atlantica." Riana said, wording her sentence carefully.

"Please follow me." The crab says, swimming twords the only exit. "By the way my name is Sabastian."

"And I'm Flounder." Said the fish. "Hi, I'm Riana, this is Lex and this is..." Riana trailed off looking at Melody.

"Melody." She says, looking away.

sabastian stops and bows to King Triton. "Your majesty, this is Riana and Lex. They are friends of Princess Mariya."

"Welcome to Atlantica." King Triton says. "Sabastian alert the guard. Once you do that, give tis to Erik." Triton then gives sabastian a rolled up paper. "I'm sorry to welcome you, but Sora has put the worlds on High-alert. A very dangerous criminal has escaped Radiant Garden."

"Which criminal?" Riana asked, worried.

"Darren, according to Sora." Sabastian says.

A fish swims in and gives a note to Riana. One the back was the Radiant Garden Royal Symbol. "From the princess miss."

The not reads.

Riana,Don't worry about me, everything is being taken care of. Just don't come to Radiant Garden. I don't want you hurt. If you go anywhere, go to Beast's Castle. If Darren attacks, he'll attack there. Your Best Friend, Mariya

"When you said high alert, did you mean no one comes in and no one comes out?" Riana asked, after reading the note.

"Well no one gets in or out unnoticed." King Triton says. "If you need to go, though, you may."

After awhile, Riana grabs Lex's hadn and goes to the gummi ship.
