The Ruined Concert (Amy version)

After the mer-animals sat down peacefully, a group of swordfish guards swam and blew on their trumpets. A blue cat named Benny the Ball, appeared. He wore orange swimming trunks. Benny cleared his throat before announcing, "Ahem! His royal highness, King Top Cat!"

On cue, a big shell-shaped carriage, being pulled out by three dolphins, arrived. Mer-animals looked up to see their beloved sea king. He was a yellow cat with a purple mertail with clear lavender fins, wearing a purple hat with a black stripe around it. His name was Top Cat. Majestic and proud, Top Cat smiled at his subjects. He directed his dolphin carriage toward the stage lights. With his golden trident, Top Cat sparked magic toward the lights, and out came sparkling lights, which drizzled toward the mer-animals. Everybody cheered, clapped, and whistled very loudly.

"And presenting the distinguished court composer, Horatio Thelonious Ignatius Crustaceous BASIL OF BAKER STREET!" Benny announced.

A smaller shell-shaped carriage appeared, being pulled out by two fish. In it was slender light brown mouse with tan markings at the muzzle, a long, skinny tail, a brown nose, curvy pink ears, and green eyes, wearing burgundy swimming trunks. Anyway, Basil of Baker Street waved to everybody, also smiling proudly. He also had to focus on pulling the reins because he was losing control of the two fish. He quickly caught up to Top Cat.

Top Cat spoke to Basil. "I'm really looking forward to this performance, Basil."

Top Cat got off from his carriage and swam to his seat in the balcony.

"Oh, Your Majesty!" Basil chuckled, "This will be the finest concert I have ever conducted. Your nieces, they will be spectacular!" But he was turned upside down in his shell.

It was true. Each of Top Cat's nine girls had been practicing very hard for the concert. He was sure that they will be able to impress the audience!

"Yes, and especially my little Amy Rose, Sally Acorn, and Cosmo the Seedrian." said Top Cat.

Basil turned himself right side up. "Yes, yes, they have the most beautiful voices." he said, and then to himself, "If only they'd show up for rehearsals once in a while."

Amy, Sally, and Cosmo were always off doing crazy things that mer-animals aren't allowed to do, like swimming up to the surface! He shuddered as he pushed that thought away. Well, Amy, Sally, and Cosmo should be here anyway! This concert is very important to him! He landed on the stage and straightened his trunks. Then he pulled the music sheet out from his shell and proceeded to the podium. He looked up to see if there was anything going on. Nothing was, so, as Basil swam to his band, he picked up his composer stick. He tapped it on his music notes, to get his band's attention. Then he started the music. The curtain of bubbles opened to reveal three large seashells. The three shells opened - six female mer-animals in each shell.

One of the mer-animals was a slender 18-year-old swallow with light purple and dark feathers that cover her body and head, a yellow curved beak, light purple and dark hair styled like a pair of long braids, cobalt eyes, and a red mertail with clear lighter red fins, wearing a white shell bra, gold bracelets on her wrists, white-and-red wristbands, and a gold necklace with a ruby pendant. She also wears a white hat with aqua feathers. Her name was Wave the Swallow, Top Cat's first-born niece.

The second mer-animal was a 15-year-old eggplant-colored hedgehog with peach skin, eggplant-colored fur, orchid hair, black eyes, and a Prussian blue mertail with clear cerulean fins, wearing an orchid shell bra. Her name was Sonia the Hedgehog, Top Cat's second-born niece.

The third mer-animal was a 16-year-old mongoose with yellow fur, curvy ears, a furry, peach muzzle and ear innards, a black nose, green eyes, long, purple hair, and a green mertail with clear lighter green fins, wearing a black tank top. She also sported a big, fancy, black fish-like hat. Her name was Mina Mongoose, Top Cat's third-born niece.

The fourth mer-animal was an 18-year-old bat with peach skin, white fur, black bat wings, teal eyes, and an orange mertail with clear matching fins, wearing an orange shell bra. She also wore a big pink hat with spikes. Her name was Rouge the Bat, Top Cat's fourth-born niece.

The fifth mer-animal was a rabbit with golden blonde fur, long ears with pink ear innards, a white muzzle with fluffy cheeks, light green eyes, a black nose, light brown markings around her eyes, and a lavender mertail with clear lilac fins, wearing a lavender shell bra. Her name was Bunnie Rabbot, Top Cat's fifth-born niece.

The sixth and last mermaid was a 6-year-old rabbit with creamy fur, light brown markings around her face and at the top of her ears, a white muzzle, a black nose, pink ear innards, brown eyes, and an orange mertail with clear lighter orange fins, wearing an orange tube top. Her name was Cream the Rabbit, Top Cat's sixth-born niece.

Wave the Swallow, Sonia the Hedgehog, Mina Mongoose, Rouge the Bat, Bunnie Rabbot, and Cream the Rabbit: *Oh, we are the nieces of Top Cat*
*Great uncle who loves us and named us well*

Top Cat stood up tall and proud, as his name was mentioned.

Wave, Sonia, Mina, Rouge, Bunnie, and Cream: *Wave*

Wave popped up with her hat with feathers.

Wave: *La la la*
*La la la*
*La la LA!*

Wave, Sonia, Mina, Rouge, Bunnie, and Cream: *Sonia*

Sonia floated up with purple feathers and put them behind her back.

Sonia: *La la la*
*La la la la la la la la la LA!*

Wave, Sonia, Mina, Rouge, Bunnie, and Cream: *Mina*

Mina: *La la la!*

Wave, Sonia, Mina, Rouge, Bunnie, and Cream: *Rouge*

After Mina, came Rouge.

Rouge: *La-a la la!*

Wave, Sonia, Mina, Rouge, Bunnie, and Cream: *Bunnie*

When she was done with her solo, Bunnie swam forward to the stage.

Bunnie: *La la la!*

Wave, Sonia, Mina, Rouge, Bunnie, and Cream: *Cream*

Cream: *La la la LA!*

The six mer-princesses (with Wave wearing a white bandanna around her head and gold glasses) gathered around in a circle, facing the audience as another large clam shell appeared onstage.

Wave, Sonia, Mina, Rouge, Bunnie, and Cream: *And then there are the three youngest*
*In their musical debut*
(*vocalizing*)
*Our ninth little sisters*
*We're presenting them to you*
(*vocalizing*)

As Basil continued directing the music, he shot a great smile to the King meaning 'This is it! Here's the best part!' King Top Cat got more excited than ever! He could hardly wait to hear his youngest nieces show off their lovely voices for all the sea to hear! The shell began to open.

Wave, Sonia, Mina, Rouge, Bunnie, and Cream: *To sing a song Basil wrote wrote*
*Their voices are like bells*
*They're our sisters, Amy, -*

Basil and the girls gasped in horror! Where were Amy, Sally, and Cosmo? They were supposed to be in their shell and come out to sing their trio! Basil cringed in fear and dropped the conductor's stick as he looked at Top Cat, whose face switched from happiness to anger. His trident glowed red, and his eyes turned blood red with anger.

"SALLY!!! AMY!!! COSMO!!!" he shouted.
