That night, Ariel was in a room, wearing a pink nightgown, looking down from the balcony as she and Littlefoot watched Eric play with Max in the garden.

“Come here boy!”

Littlefoot was surprised by how gentle Eric was to other animals. Ariel enjoyed watching the love her her life being so playful. Eric noticed he was being watched and waved, surprising Ariel, who waved back before disappearing into her room. Littlefoot shook his head before turning back to Eric

“Good night!”

Eric smiled as he watched the little dinosaur went back inside. In her room, Ariel was combing her hair with the fork again, still thinking it’s a dinglehopper. Sebastian was pulling a piece of lettuce out off his shell as Ducky and Petrie finished telling the others about their little cooking adventure.

“This has got to be, without a doubt, the single most humiliating day of my life.” said Sebastian

“Well, from what you, Petrie, and Ducky told us, you’ve had quite an adventure.” Littlefoot added

“You were really lucky that got out without getting hurt, because you could’ve gotten hurt.” said Ruby

“Still, at least we escaped without being cooked.” said Ducky

“Yeah, otherwise ya’ll would have had a couple of friends for dinner” said Sebastian

“Now that’s the worst kind of dinner anyone could want.” said Cera.

Chomper turned to Cera in confusion.

“What’s so bad about having friends for dinner? I love having friends for dinner.”

The gang turned to Chomper in surprise. Then after a brief moment of silence, they started laughing. Chomper wondered what was so funny, and then he suddenly realized he accidentally made a joke. After laughing himself, Chomper began to dance around before starting to sing.

Chomper: Friends for dinner.
I love having
Friends over for dinner.
That’s when I get
Cera’s rose,
Petrie’s Berries,
Spike loves the bushes,
And Littlefoot eats the trees,
I think they're yucky,
But I know they'll please
My friends for dinner.

Getting in the mood, Littlefoot and the others started to join in.

Together: Friends for dinner.

Littlefoot: What if we had friends for dinner

Cera: They’d probably give us mermaid soup

Petrie: Or Littlefoot stew.

Cera: Would it be funny
     If I chew on you?

Ruby: That's not a very nice thing to do

Together: To your friends for dinner!

Littlefoot: Humans eat everything,
           Aren’t there flaws?

Cera: They’d have us munch and crunch
     Those little crab claws.

Petrie: If we just eat Spike,

Chomper: That would be enough!

Ducky: I would spit out Cera,

Ruby:  She'd  be too tough!

Cera: (Spoken) Hey!

All: Friends for dinner.
    Don't wanna eat
    Friends for dinner.

Ducky: We'd rather eat sticks from the mud,

Petrie: Bark off an old tree,

Cera: Or even rocks
     Right outta the sea.

Together: One thing we know
         We don't wanna eat
         Are friends for dinner

Chomper then appeared from behind Ariel with a fruit hat, dancing the samba. Spike then suddenly ate the entire hat in one bite. Chomper then rolled his eyes in amusement as Cera started to sing.

Cera: We’d  might gnaw on Sea gull wings
     And Sharptooth legs

Littlefoot: But we've known Chomper
           Since he was an egg

Petrie: They'll  cut off our beaks

Ruby: That would hurt

Cera: Petrie pot pie

Petrie: And Ruby dessert

Together: Friends for dinner
         Don't wanna eat
         Friends for dinner

Ruby: Don't wanna eat Flounder Flambé

Petrie: Or Liver of Duck

Littlefoot: I wonder if Sebastian tastes good. (Licks Sebastian)

Together (Including Sebastian): Yuck!

Cera: You know you've run out of luck

Together: When having friends for dinner'

Chomper: Friends for dinner

Littlefoot: Just my friends for dinner.

Together: Friends for dinner!

As the song ended, everyone started to laugh hard again, but not Sebastian. The red crab had other thought racing through his mind.

“Ohh, If I continue on like this, IM GONNA BE CRAB CAKES!”

Thinking Sebastian was joking as well; the little dinosaurs began laughing even harder. Sebastian stared at the little dinosaurs in shock, but he started to see why the kids were enjoying themselves, this caused him to chuckle as well.

“Don’t worry Sebastian,” said Littlefoot, “we all appreciate what you just did for us.”

The crab’s eyes widened in happy surprise.

“You really mean that?”

“Of course we do, and I’m sure Ariel does to.”

Ariel nods in agreement, which made Sebastian feel warm inside.

“Thanks everyone and I’m really sorry I got you in trouble by telling the king.”

“It’s okay Sebastian," said Littlefoot, "we know now you didn’t mean to.”

“Besides, we all make mistakes sometimes.”  said Chomper

“Yeah, and I’m sorry I smacked you with my tail.” said Cera

“There’s no harm done” said Sebastian, before getting serious, “But remember; right now we’ve got to pay attention on the important thing for the next two days.”

“Sebastian right!” said Petrie

“Yeah, we’ve got to find a way to get Eric to kiss Ariel.”  said Chomper

“But how?” asked Cera

Ariel then lied down on the big comfy bed as Sebastian continued.

“ I’ve got a plan to get that boy to kiss her. Tomorrow, when he takes her for that ride, she’s gotta look her best.  Now, Ariel, you gotta bat your eyes -like this.  You gotta pucker up your lips - like this.”

Sebastian then noticed Ariel was asleep, looking like an angel. Littlefoot started to get sleepy as well.

“*yawn* Let’s talk about this more tomorrow Sebastian, right now we should get some rest.”

Sebastian watched as Littlefoot crawled into the bed and pulled the covers over him and Ariel. Ariel wakes up upon felling someone pressing against her, she looks over and sees Littlefoot curled up against her, already asleep. Ariel smiles and kisses the top of his head before going back to sleep. With a smile, Sebastian blew out the candle and joined the two friends as the rest of the gang fell fast asleep.

“You are hopeless child. You know dat? Completely hopeless . . .”

Back in Atlantica, the seahorse zoomed into the throne room where King Triton was waiting for him at a window.

“Any sign of them?”

“No, Your Majesty.  We've searched everywhere” the sea horse answered regrettably, “We've found no trace of your daughter - or Sebastian.”

“Well, what about Littlefoot and his friends, have you seen them either.”

“I’m sorry, sir, there’s no trace of them. It’s most likely they are with your daughter.”

“Well, keep looking.” King Triton ordered, “Leave no shell unturned, no coral unexplored.  Let no one in this kingdom sleep until they’re all safe at home.”

“Yes sir.” The seahorse said, with a bow before departing.

Triton sighed with great sadness and depression as he sat in his lonely throne, remembering his actions at the grotto.

“Oh, what have I done? What have I done?”

I gotta admit that King Triton does sound, more like Littlefoot's Grandpa! Does he? They both have the same voice, like Kenneth Mars. RIP Kenneth Mars. :'( We'll miss your voices for Grandpa Longneck, King Triton & all the other voices, for the Characters.
