Princess Power (Ariel Story)

One day King Triton had to go away for the night. “I am leaving you my trident for protection,” he told Ariel and sisters. “This will keep you safe, but make sure it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands!” “Let’s have a sleepover,” said Ariel. “We can take it in turns to stay awake and watch over the trident, and have some fun while Daddy’s away!” They did not realize that Ursula, the sea witch, was planning some fun of her own. Later that day, an old peddler arrived at the palace. “Like to buy some pretty things, my dear?” she crocked. A music box in the basket caught Ariel eye. “We could have some music at our sleepover,” said Ariel, paying the peddler. At the sleepover, Ariel and her sisters read stories and had makeovers. “I’ve found us some music!” said Ariel, opening the music box. “Now, who would like a sea fruit smoothie?” When Ariel returned with the drinks, her sisters were already fast asleep! “That’s odd,” said Ariel. Then she notices some strange music coming from her new music box. “The music must be making everyone go to sleep!” Ariel realized. Ariel rushed over to the music box and quickly closed the lid before she fell under its spell, too. “Phew!” said Ariel. Suddenly she noticed that her father’s trident was missing, “Oh, no” she cried. Ariel looked everywhere for the trident but she could not find it anywhere. Just then, Ariel spotted Ursula’s eels Flotsam and Jetsam, swimming out of a palace window. “The sea witch must have stolen the trident,” she said, “and it’s up to me to get it back!” Ariel covered her ears with some shell-muff and swam to Ursula’s lair with the music box. When Ariel arrived, she found Ursula boasting about what she had done. “Atlantica will be mine!” she shouted. “We’ll see about that,” said Ariel as she opened the music box. The strange music sent Ursula to sleep straight away, leaving Ariel free to get the trident back. Before the squids that guarding the trident fell asleep, they squirted out lots of link to try and stop Ariel from stealing the trident. Ariel managed to dodge the ink and it spattered over the sea witch instead. “It looks like Ursula’s had a sleepover makeover, too!” said Ariel, swimming away. When Ariel arrive back at the palace, dawn was breaking. King Triton would be home any moment so Ariel quickly used the trident to undo the sleeping spell and, one by one, her sisters woke up. Just then, King Triton arrived home. “It’s good to see you Daddy,” said Ariel, as she gave him a hug. “I am glad I left my trusty trident behind,” said King Triton, over breakfast. “How else would you Princesses have coped without me?” “Oh, Daddy,” said Ariel, with a grin. “Princesses can do anything…even protect a whole kingdom.” All sisters agreed but none of them realized that while they were asleep, that’s exactly what Ariel had done!
