Uh, hi people, I'm Jazzy and this is my first ever TDI fan-fic. Let me explain a few things before we get started.
1.) I'm aware that TDI takes place in Canada, but your authoress lives in the United States, therefore doesn't know a thing about the geographical points of said country.
2.) There is going to be a slash couple in this story. So if you do like, don't read.
3.) Sorry if the characters seem a bit OOC. I'm trying with the best of my abilities.
Also, special thanks to Ftiger for helping me get started and her story of "TDI: Beauty and the Beast" for the inspiration of this idea/story. You go, girl!
Without further delay, here is the first chapter of "Ocean Beauty". Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own TDI nor The Little Mermaid.
Long ago in a distant land lived a mermaid princess. She was very beautiful, curious and adventureous. One day, she spotted a boat and on that boat was a handsome prince. The mermaid fell in love with him. Then, there was a storm that caused the boat to tip over. In a brave attempt, the mermaid rescued the prince and brought him up to shore. She sand her love to him before he woke up. When he did wake up, the mermaid was gone. Knowing her father would forbid her from interacting with humans, she went to the sea witch. She promised the mermaid legs of a human and said that if she received the kiss of true love within three days, she would remain human. In exchange for this promise, the sea witch wanted her voice. The mermaid was in a tight spot. Would she give up her beautiful voice to be with the human she loves?
Authoress: Tch, yeah right! How many times have people heard this Disney tale?! I'll tell you how it really happened!
Ahem... As I was saying... Our story takes place on the beaches of Malibu, California. It's late at night and the sounds of music, partying and excitement can be heard for miles. There was a huge beach party going on. The shore was littered with high schoolers, celebrating their summer vacation. Away from all this commotion, was the host of the party. He was a teen male with longish blond hair that fell to his shoulders and dark blue eyes. He he had a nice, toned build that could be seen under his open, pink button up shirt and cargo swim trunks. He also had on brown sandals and a cowboy hat. He was leaning against the side of a cliff while the waves lapped against the beach. His thoughts were soon interrupted by someone calling out his name.
"Yo Geoff! You OK, man?!" Geoff turned his head towards and spotted his two best buddies in the town. One was a slim, yet toned young male. He had black hair that was cut, almost buzzed short, save for a moehawk/faux-hawk dyed green and baby blue/teal eyes. His face was adorned with many piercings and a black, spiked collar was around his neck. The other was a male of Jamaican decent. He was built well, almost buff. He had really short black hair that was covered by a white beanie and had a little bit of stubble. Both boys were wearing swim trunks.
"What are you doing out here by yourself? It's not like you to throw an awesome bash like this and not take part of it," the punk-looking guy, Duncan said. Geoff let out a quiet laugh.
"Sorry, dudes," he said, walking up to his friends.
"You've been out of it all day. What's up?" The Jamaican, DJ asked.
"It's nothing, man. I guess I'm just psyched about this Saturday's upcoming surfing competition," he said, with a grin on his face.
"Well, get your damn head out of the clouds. We need you for the volleyball game. I want to crush that nerd, Harold into the ground," Duncan said, grinning and punching his fist into his hand. DJ just rolled his eyes.
"Let's just go, guys," he said.
Geoff, Duncan and DJ were the tightest of friends. It's no surprise that the nickname for the three of them were "The Triple Threats". Geoff was the leader of the group. He was the most popular guy at school, quarterback of the football team and always threw these huge parties for everyone. Duncan was the towns own delinquent. Rebelling against his all policemen/women family, he causes enough trouble for everybody. But, he never does anything that would betray his friends. And then there was DJ. When people first look, they fear having their asses kicked. But, despite the tough guy/brick house look, he's really a gentle heart with a heart big enough to rival your own mothers.
"So, Geoff? Did you see that smokin' hot babe wearing that red bikini?" Duncan slyly asked. Geoff groaned.
"Yeah, but she was so dumb, she made Lindsey look like a rocket scientist!" he cried.
"Man, what is with you? Every time Duncan and I try and help you find a girl, you shoot her down," DJ said.
"Well, you are already dating Katie. And Duncan here flirts with almost every single girl he sees!" Geoff protested.
"Hey! Not every girl! ...Just the ones with a nice ass," Duncan said, with a slight grin.
"Ugh, why is it when I see you guys, Duncan has his mind in the gutter?" A female voice asked. All three guys craned their necks to where the voice came from. Sitting on a towel, far away from the party, was the resident goth girl, Gwen. Her blue-streaked, short black hair was tied in a simple pony tail, to keep it out of her deep, black eyes. She was wearing the top of her black bikini, but her bottom was covered by a black skirt and she was barefooted. In her lap was a sketch book.
"Gwen! Come back to the party with us," Geoff offered.
"Uh, no thanks. I appreicated that you invited me and all, but I rather stay here," she said.
"C'mon, bra! It'll be fun," DJ said.
"Look, you guys go. If I change my mind, I'll be there," she said, going back to her drawing.
"I told you not to invite her," Duncan whispered to the two.
"I heard that," she said, looking up and scowling at the delinquent.
"Whoa, guys! Chill out! The last thing we need is a fight," Geoff said. He didn't like it when his friends got into fights, seeing he was a pretty neutral guy.
The fight was interupted by the sound of high-pitched chirping coming from the ocean. The four teens turned their attention to the open sea and saw three dolphins, frolicking around.
"Who invited Flipper and friends?" Duncan asked.
"Wow, when was the last time dolphins came this close to the shore?" DJ asked. Gwen shrugged.
"I don't know. But it's no big deal. I see them all the time," she muttered.
"Dude! I promised my bro a pic of a dolphin if I saw one! Damn, I left my camera back home," Geoff partially sulked. Gwen dug around in her beach bag and pulled out a digital camera. "Here, use Cody's," she offered. Geoff smiled and took it from her.
"Thanks bra!"
"What are you doing with that dorks camera?" Duncan asked, giving her a bored look. DJ slightly jabbed him in the ribs.
"OW! The hell did I do?!" he cried.
"We told you to stop picking on the little dude," Geoff said, snapping pictures of the dolphins.
"But he's not here!" Duncan protested. "Besides, I only poke fun at him. It's not like I'm gonna throw him into the ocean or anything!" DJ jabbed him again.
"Dude, not cool," he said. Gwen glared at the green hair teen.
"I thought I told you not to joke about that!" she growled.
"Hey don't look at me! If memory serves me correctly, it was that bitch, Heather's fault!" Duncan cried.
"Mellow out, guys. I think your fighting is scaring away the dolphins," Geoff said. All three of them let out deep breaths. Geoff looked at the camera.
"I think that's enough," he said, as he started to review through the pictures. Gwen got up from her towel and looked over his shoulder. "I'll have Cody sent you copies of them," she said. He grinned at her.
"Thanks, bra!" DJ and Duncan were also looking at the pictures too.
"I have an idea. I'll take a picture of you guys," DJ offered.
"That's OK...I don't need a group shot," Gwen said.
"C'mon, girl! It would be great!" Geoff said, smiling. Duncan shrugged.
"Hell, I'm game," he said. Gwen sighed in defeat.
"Fine..." she muttered. The three of them walked towards the water's edge. Geoff was in the middle, Gwen on his left and Duncan on his right. DJ held up the camera.
"OK, guys. 1...2...3!" He snapped the shot. DJ brought the camera over to the three, as they looked at the picture. Geoff had his arms around the two, with a big smile on his face. Gwen had her arms cross and was smiling sheepishly, while Duncan was giving the camera the "Rock on!" sign.
"Looks good!" Geoff said,
"Check it out. We got Flipper in the background," Duncan said, pointing to one of the dolphins that was in the picture.
"Hey, I'm coming with you guys to the party," Gwen said, smiling slightly. The boys let out a slight cry of excitment.
"Alright! Let's get our party on!" Duncan cried, heading back to the party. Geoff was about to leave, when he stopped in his tracks.
"Yo, man? You OK?" DJ asked.
"Guys? Do you hear...singing?" he asked. The three of them gave them a "Are you going crazy?" look.
"Geoff, there's no one singing," Gwen said, taking back the camera.
"Maybe one of the chicks at the party doing karaoke," Duncan said. Geoff shook his head.
"Yeah, you are proberbly right..." he said. He joined up with the others and began to walk back.
What the teens did not know was that Geoff was right. Someone was singing...but it wasn't coming from the party. It was coming from the cove on the other side of the cliff...
OO I did it! First chapter done! I'm sorry if it's not my best work...but it will get better.
Also, I'll give a cookie to the people who review! :3
R&R, peeps!
