Fathoms Below (Amy version)

It was a beautiful day at sea. Dolphins were swimming and chirping. Birds were flying. Suddenly, a pirate ship came into view, and they swam out of the way. On that ship, there were some French villagers. Some were tying the sails down. Others were catching fish with nets. They began to sing.

Frenchmen: *I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue*
*And it's hey to the starboard, heave ho*
*Look out, lads, three mer-animals be waitin' for you*
*In mysterious fathoms below*

A 16-year-old echidna, a 17-year-old hedgehog, and an 8-year-old fox stood upon the ship, as they were tying down a sail. The echidna's fur and dreadlocks are red with a peach muzzle, a little black nose, and purple eyes. He was dressed in a white crescent on his chest and white gloves with four knuckles total, two on each hand, red shoes with green cuffs, and silver buckles. His name was Knuckles the Echidna. The hedgehog's fur and quills were blue with a peach muzzle and underbelly, a little black nose, and green eyes. He was dressed in a pair of white gloves, a pair of matching socks, and red and white striped shoes with gold buckles. His name was Sonic the Hedgehog, Knuckles' big brother. And the fox's fur was yellow with two tails sticking out from behind (each with a white tip), a white muzzle and underbelly, a little black nose, and blue eyes. He was dressed in a pair of white gloves, matching socks, and red and white sneakers. His name was Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles and Sonic's little brother. The princes loved being on the ship! The sea was their life! Unlike other princes who only care about politics and money, Knuckles and his brothers would rather sail. It was the only place they feel that can be carefree and be themselves.

A short, chubby rodent Pokémon was also sailing. The short, chubby rodent Pokémon has yellow fur, long and pointed ears with black tips, a small mouth, brown eyes, and two red circles on his cheeks that stores electricity, short forearms with five fingers on each paw, three toes on each foot, brown stripes on his back and his tail, shaped like a lightning bolt. His name was Pikachu, Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails' pet Pokemon.

"Isn't this great?" Knuckles asked, "The salty sea air, the wind blowing in your face!"

"Pika, pika!" said Pikachu.

"A perfect day to be at sea!" sighed Sonic.

"Oh, indeed! Yes." Tails smiled, nodding his head.

He, Knuckles, and Sonic turned to their steward, who was a little man with a pink nose, brown hair, and black eyes, wearing a black kerchief, a dark brown trench coat, a red button-up shirt, light brown pants, and black shoes. His name was LeFou, Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails' butler. He was leaning over the boat, looking green. He was more seasick than pleased.

"Oh yes," LeFou said sarcastically. "delightful."

Then he was vomiting over the ship again. He hated being on sea. Earlier, when Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails wanted to go sailing, LeFou was content on staying at the castle.

"A fine strong wind and a following sea," said the baker, one of the sailors. "King Top Cat must be in a friendly-type mood."

He, Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails tied more ropes.

"King Top Cat?" repeated a confused Sonic.

"Who's he?" asked Tails.

"We never heard of *him.*" said Knuckles. He, Sonic, and Tails had studied many monarchs. Yet, they never came across a King Top Cat.

"Why, ruler of the mer-animals, lads." the bookseller, another sailor, said, "Thought every good sailor knew about him."

Knuckles, Sonic, and Tails bent down to pat Pikachu.

"Pikachu!" pleaded the yellow mouse Pokémon, "Pika, pika, pi!"

LeFou rolled his eyes for he did not believe in the existence of mer-animals.

"Mer-animals!" scoffed LeFou, "Knuckles, Sonic, Tails, pay no attention to this nautical nonsense."

"But it ain't nonsense, it's the truth!" replied the bookseller, as he waved at fish at LeFou, "I'm tellin' you, down in the depths o' the ocean they live."

The bookseller let go of the fish which, smacked its tail in LeFou's face before jumping overboard.

Frenchmen: *Heave ho*
*Heave ho*
*In mysterious fathoms below*

After diving into the ocean, the fish looked up. It sighed with relief and swam away. The fish swam further and further away as it passed the corals, the jellyfish, and the whales.

Near the whales, one mer-animal swam in the sunlight. Then four more mer-animals, also appeared in the sunlight. Soon, we see more mer-animals all in line, swimming toward a large glowing castle.

Inside the castle, the mer-animals all gathered around inside the auditorium. They all have arrived for a concert which will be performed soon.
