03x07 - Ariel's Treasures

[bunniefuu]

I'll miss you, daddy.

Hope your conference goes well.

Thank you, Ariel.

Now, I won't be back
for several tides,

so try and stay out
of mischief, hmm?

Yes! Yes!

Goodbye!

Goodbye, everyone!

So triton will be gone
for several tides, will he?

You know what they say...

Timing is everything.

And I'd say
the time is just right

for some trouble.

[c.speakertop]After all,[/c]

[c.speakertop]the king didn't tell me
to stay out of mischief.[/c]

and getting into mischief
is what I do best.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Oh, yes, she's a Princess

living the royal good life
in the palace.

But I'm out here

living in a hole like a worm.

An attractive worm,

but nevertheless a worm!

Hmm. I think it's time

for the worm to turn.

Heh heh heh heh.

Ooh, I have a feeling

I'm going to find
something wonderful today.

And I have
a sinking feeling today.

We better catch up with her.

Who knows what she's gonna find.

Or what's gonna find her.

I don't even think I even
want to think about it, mon.

Ariel, why don't we go home?

And I will give you a lesson
in crab philosophy.

You'll learn how to say
many clever things,

like, "I think,
therefore I am...

A grub."

Aah! Ooh! Eee!

Well, I think, therefore
I'm ready to go home, mon.

Oh, just a while longer.

I haven't found
a single treasure yet.

How do human things
get down here, Ariel?

Well, they would never drop
such wonderful things

into the ocean on purpose.

It must happen... By accident.

Yeow!

Oh! Humans!

I don't like the looks
of that human thing.

But Sebastian, you don't like
the looks of any human thing.

What, uh... What do you
think it is, Ariel?

Why, it's... A whirly-twirly.

A what? Ariel!
You don't even know

what dat ting's supposed to do!

No, but it's a wonderful
treasure anyway.

Oh, I can't wait
to show it to Gabriela.

She's coming to visit today.

I like Gabriella,

but I don't like human tings.

Hmm. Now, reason number 43

for not having
human things around.

Human things can cause
you serious problems, Ariel.

Another possibility... They
can cause me serious problems.

We'll call that one reason 43-a.

Human girls must have
a lot of bad hair days.

How do I look?

And in conclusion, Ariel,

I must point out...

That you have not heard
one word I've said.

Did you say
something, Sebastian?

He said, "human things are bad."

And then he said,
"but sea things are good."

But it sure took Sebastian
a lot more words to say it.

I'm sorry, Sebastian.

I just don't understand why
you don't like my treasures.

You know what your father says...

Human things
are dangerous, Ariel.

Do these look dangerous to you?

I think my treasures
are wonderful,

and I'll never part with them.

You just don't realize how
important they are to me.

Remember this one?

Oh, it's my favorite.

It's unanimous. Gabriella
says it's her favorite, too.

Well, I didn't vote on that one
or any other one.

Oh, remember when
we danced with it?

Human things are dangerous,

and that is
without a doubt, that.

For once in his miserable life,

that loudmouth crab is right.

Human tings
can be very dangerous,

and I'm just the one
to make them that way.

I'll make her special treasures

really special!

Ha ha ha ha!

All I need is the right spell

to do the wrong things.

Once I unleash this baby,

atlantica will either
make me their queen

or their fair kingdom
will become

the most miserable place
under the sea!

Or above it,
for that matter. Ha!

Let's start with her
ridiculous whirly-twirly.

Whirly-twirly,
be gentle no more.

Become, o, so evil,

and fly out the door!

Well, I think it's lunchtime.

My tummy seems to be growling.

On second thought, maybe
that's your tummy, mon.

No, it must be me

'cause I always get
a headache when I'm hungry,

and, man, do I have a headache.

The whirly-twirly's
come to life!

Uh-oh!

You can say that again.

Okay. Uh-oh!

Ariel, that thing is heading
right for atlantica!

What should we do?

For starters, we must stay calm.

And then?

Then we can say "aah!"
Again. Aah!

Gotcha!

Sometimes my powers
surprise even me.

But the real surprise
is going to be on atlantica.

The real unpleasant
surprise, that is.

I'm the only one
who can undo the spell.

The atlanticans
will have to make me queen.

I'll turn triton's kingdom

into a queendom!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

It's a sea witch!

Never fear, atlanticans.

Your champion is here.

I'll save you
from this horrible menace.

You can count on me

if I can count on you

to make me queen.

Anything!

Just stop that purple menace!

I've had enough of this.

That makes two of us!

It's coming back. Hurry!

Now!

Ohhh!

Grrr!

Thank you, sea witch, but
we don't need your help.

Oh... well, if you have
any more problems,

I'll be around.

And I'll see to it
that there are more problems.

Something isn't right.

You just realized that?

No. I suspected it as soon
as the whirly-twirly went wild

and started glowing purple.

Yeah. Purple is the
sea witch's favorite color.

I hope that sea witch didn't do
anything to my other treasures.

Oh, mon! The only thing I
hate more than human things

is human things with
magic spells on them!

Do you know what my mistake was?

Yesss. Yesss.

So you think I made
a mistake, do you?

It's that mermaid Princess
who made the mistake

thinking she can outsmart me!

Ha ha! I'm the smart one.

I know that mermaid will
never give up her treasures...

Especially the special ones.

Oh, yes... They're going
to be very special.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

The sea witch must know
where my treasure grotto is.

We'll have to move
everything as fast as possible.

Maybe we should Bury them.

I couldn't stand to do
that to my treasures.

Ariel... they're only things.

They're more than that.

When I look at my treasures,

I remember all the wonderful
times we've had together.

They're not things.

They're memories.

I know
you understand, Gabriella.

We did have a lot of fun

finding your
treasures, didn't we?

And we had some
great adventures...

Like the time you made
me go into that human house

where this
whirl-a-majigger came from.

And then... wait a second!
What am I babbling about?

Let's seal off the grotto
and get outta here!

Come on, Sebastian.
You can't pretend

all those great times
didn't happen.

No, but I can try.

Each one of these treasures
is a special reminder

of a wonderful time we shared.

Yeah, well... We sure have
shared some good times.

This just doesn't happen
to be one of them.

I knew you'd help me.

Now, wait just a moment. I...

First we'll take my treasures
to a safe hiding place.

How considerate.

They've just made my job easier.

Now to put all her treasures

into magical motion at once.

h* h*!

It's my way of saying,
"hello, my royal subjects."

Ha ha ha ha ha!

I think we did it.

Well, like I always say...

You can't outsmart a smart crab.

When it comes to cleverness,

I must be the most clever
crustacean of them all...

Sebastian de crab!

To continue, a crab has
many clever qualities...

Excuse me.
I am not finished. Uh...

Whoa! Correction!

Iam finished!

Ohhh!

Oh!

The sea witch has found us!

Oh!

Waah!

Whoa!

Waah!

Oh!

Arieeellll!

Wahhh!

Aah! Aah!

Soon all of atlantica
will be screaming for help,

and I know just the lady
who can save them.

Yecch!

P-tuh! P-tuh! P-tuh!

Don't give me any of
your lip, you little creep.

Well, I'm off...

Off my rocker and
on to triton's throne.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

I've got to stop this!

Aah! Wahh! Wahh!

Whoa! Woo!

Wahhh!

Oh! Whew!

Boy. I feel like I'm a
whirl-a-majigger myself.

Yeah. You're not your
favorite color anymore.

Gabriella, you and Ollie

go to atlantica
and warn the people.

We're gonna rest until
the ocean stops spinning.

No. We're going to get
to the bottom of this...

And the only way is to
go to the sea witch's cave.

I hope she isn't home.

I'll be right back.

Oh!

Oh!

So. This is how she's been
spying on my treasures.

There must be some
answers here somewhere.

Ohhh!

Yecch!

III!

Aw. Aw, don't be afraid.

I'm free!

I'm free!

I'm outta here.

Wait. I need your help.

I need to know what
the witch is up to.

She's gonna stop her own spells

just in time to save atlantica.

The kingdom will be so grateful,

they'll make her queen.

I see. Very sneaky.

How does she stop her spells?

What magic does she use?

How do I know? I'm just a worm.

Say... I've seen
one of these before.

Careful!

They're very, very dangerous.

Drop one accidentally,

and boom!

Of course! The sea
witch had one of these

when she came to stop
the whirly-twirly. Oops!

Whoo!

Oh!

Oh, no! Ursula was home...

And she's turned Ariel
into a worm!

Sebastian, I'm right here.

I think this is what Ursula
uses to stop her spells.

I only hope we're not too late.

Get back!

Oh, mon! That's some stuff!

It works... Well, like magic!

Aah! Aah!

Help us!

I could stop it now...

But that wouldn't
be any fun, would it?

I'll just wait a tad longer

until the entire city
is begging for mercy.

Help! Help! Save us!

It's nice to be needed,
isn't it?

Citizens of atlantica,

your friend Ursula

is about to rescue you.

Oh, don't thank me.

Just give me the crown.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

But, Ariel, you'll
destroy all your stuff!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Ooh, la, la. My good
man, what time it is?

Merci, merci. Time
to take out my soufflé.

Oh! On second thought,

I believe it is time
to take a little nap.

I'll get even with
that mermaid Princess.

After all...

Tomorrow is another day.

Oh!

I can't believe it.
All my treasures...

Gone. How will we remember

all the good times we shared?

You can remember the good
times without all that stuff.

I mean...

You know...

You still have us.

Yeah, Ariel. We can
remember together.

Yeah, you're right.

And you saved atlantica.

You can be proud of that.

No.we saved atlantica,

all of us working together.

Hey... I guess we just made
a new special memory.

Yeah! We did!

My treasures were only things.

You are my true treasures...

You and all the people
of atlantica.

h* h*! Dat's de spirit,
Ariel! Ha ha!

I can always start
a new collection...

But I could never replace you.

Dat's right. There's
just one teeny-tiny

weeny little thing
I'd like to ask you, Ariel.

What do you mean,
start a new collection?
