Seventh Scene

 

Misty and the two snake-like pokemon have been swimming for quite a while now. They’ve been passing creepy places even for the real Misty to handle. Then they came up to Jesse’s place; it was creepier than the places they swam by. It looked like the skeleton of a dead Wailord. Misty hesitated a bit and stopped but the two snake type pokemon stopped in front of her and insisted.

"This way." They said at the same time.

This time, Misty didn’t hesitate and followed them. Once inside, she saw that little ‘garden’ of Jesse’s. They really began to creep her out, mainly they looked like bugs, and they were scary looking. Some of them tried to grab her and that really scared her. She tried to pull away but they were frantically grabbing her she thought they were going to eat her when in reality they were trying to warn her. She managed to pull away and looked around when she heard a voice.

"Come in, come in my child. We mustn’t gawk at the door." The voice revealed her, it was Jesse. "It’s rude."

Misty swam deeper into the cave.

"One might ask why you are here." Jesse said before going to a mirror and getting some sort of moose in her hair. "Now, then you’re here because you have a thing for this human. This prince fellow." Jesse said rubbing the ‘moose’ on her hair. "Not that I blame you, he is quite a catch isn’t he?" She asked and laughed a little before picking up a little organic object and squeezed it letting some red stuff come out and putting it on like lipstick. "Well angelfish, the solution to your problem is simple: the only way to get what you want, is to become a human yourself."

Misty’s interest sparked and she then asked, "Can you do that?"

Jesse glanced towards Misty and grinned. "My dear sweet child, that’s what I do. It’s what I live for. To help unfortunate merfolk, like yourself, poor souls with no one else to turn to." Jesse said before her song began.

I admit that in the past I've been a nasty


They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch


But you'll find that nowadays


I've mended all my ways


Repented, seen the light and made a switch


True? Yes

She looked at Misty with a crazy, nasty look and Ekans and Arbok laughed before she continued.

And I fortunately know a little magic


It's a talent that I always have possessed

Jesse went over to where she usually spies on Misty and it opened to reveal a cauldron.


And here lately, please don't laugh


I use it on behalf


Of the miserable, lonely and depressed


(Pathetic)

She looked to Ekans and Arbok saying that with a disgusted look. She then began to swim around the cauldron and revealed two projections of a merman and a mermaid. The merman was a skinny, pathetic looking guy, and the mermaid was a fat one.

Poor unfortunate souls


In pain


In need


This one longing to be thinner


That one wants to get the girl


And do I help them?

She pointed to the two merfolk and then their images changed to a very muscular merman and a very beautiful mermaid. They see each other and hug.

Yes, indeed

Those poor unfortunate souls

So sad


So true


They come flocking to my cauldron


Crying, "Spells, Ursula please!"


And I help them?


Yes, I do

She was by the cauldron still looking at the two images. Meanwhile, Krabby and Goldeen were making their way into the cave themselves only to see Jesse in the middle of her song.

Now it's happened once or twice


Someone couldn't pay the price


And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals

The images shrug showing no sign of payment. Then, Jesse takes her hand and pretends to swipe something and then the images change into those deformed worms. Misty then realizes what those creatures were and she took one quick glance back at them.

Yes, I've had the odd complaint


But on the whole I've been a saint

She grabbed what looked like a ribbon and put it around her head like a nun. She then took it and rubbed her back with it.

To those poor unfortunate souls

She then takes the ribbon object and wrapped Misty in it and began discussing the deal.

"Now, here’s the deal. I will turn you into a human for three days. Got that? Three days." She began explaining and went over to the cauldron with her and images began to appear. "Now before the sunsets on the third day, you have to get that prince fellow to fall in love with you. That is, he has to kiss you. Well, not just any kiss. The kiss of true love." She explained as the images of a crown and heart appear. "If he kisses you before the sunsets on the third day, you will remain human permanently. But, if he doesn’t you’ll turn back into a mermaid and…" She said showing an image of her as a human before it changed to a mermaid and the cauldron closed. "You belong, to me."

"No Misty…!" Krabby began before Ekans and Arbok used their wrap attacks on them to shut their mouths.

Jesse then went over to Misty and put her hand under her chin and asked, "Have we got a deal?"

Misty began to ponder. "If I become human, I will never be able to see my father and sisters again."

"That’s right!" She began sarcastically. "But, you’ll have your man" She finished and chuckled. "Life’s full of choices isn’t it? Oh, and there is one more thing, we haven’t discussed the subject of payment."

"But I don’t have any…" Misty began before Jesse used her tentacle so shut her mouth.

"I’m not asking much, just a token, really, a trifle. What I want from you is…" Jesse began and had her finger under Misty’s chin. "Your voice."

Misty held her hand close to her neck. "My voice?"

"You’ve got it sweetcakes, no more talking, singing, zip!" She said popping her lips at the end.

"But without my voice, how can I…?" Misty began to ask.

"You’ll have your looks! Your pretty face! And don’t underestimate the importance of body language! Ha!"

The men up there don't like a lot of blabber


They think a girl who gossips is a bore


Yes, on land it's much preferred


For ladies not to say a word


And after all, dear, what is idle prattle for?

Jesse began taking jars, orbs full of objects, and began to throw them into the cauldron.

Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation


True gentlemen avoid it when they can

The orbs and jars exploded once they got into the cauldron. Jesse began to swim with moves like a model before continuing.

But they dote and swoon and fawn


On a lady who's withdrawn


It's she who holds her tongue who gets her man

She continued her song and went over to the cauldron and continued to put more objects in it to complete the concoction needed to turn Misty into a human. She continued to swim around and created an image of Ash in front of Misty and came out with her face.

Come on, you poor unfortunate soul


Go ahead!


Make your choice!


I'm a very busy woman


And I haven't got all day


It won't cost much


Just your voice!

She swam around again and a couple of explosions followed the following notes.

You poor unfortunate soul


It's sad


But true

She appeared next to Misty with a golden contract and it had a blank spot for Misty’s signature. Then a pen appeared afterwards.

If you want to cross a bridge, my sweet


You've got to pay the toll


Take a gulp and take a breath


And go ahead and sign the scroll!

She then went over and whispered some more notes to Ekans and Arbok.

Ekans, Arbok, now I've got her, boys
The boss is on a roll

She swam up, spun around, and then pointed to Misty finishing up the song.

This poor…

Misty glanced at the contract and grabbed the pen.

unfortunate soul

Misty signed the contract with her name and then the contract scrolled up, went to Jesse, and disappeared. Jesse then looked at Misty and began chanting a spell. The cauldron started to brew up some sort of smoke. Then that smoke turned into a pair of hands and then Jesse looked at Misty again and pointed to her.

"Now, sing!"

And Misty began to sing.

"Keep singing!"

Misty did continue to sing just as those two smoke hands went over to her and pulled a light out of her throat, which anyone can tell you is her voice. The smoke was then sucked into a seashell worn by Jesse and it stopped singing. Then Jesse began to cackle and Misty began to change. Her fins changed into a pair of legs and it looked as though she was drowning. Krabby and Goldeen swam to her and began to pull her up to the surface. Then, once they hit the surface, they began to swim towards the shore. The scene ended and the curtain closed just as the audience began to burst into applause.

Then Rob came up on the PA. "Ok folks, that’s the end of Act 1 and we’re going to take a short intermission and I hope you’ve enjoyed so far."

The audience began to get up and stretch around.

~~~ Backstage ~~~

The entire cast got to there dressing rooms and began to change for the next act but they also took an intermission. Ash, on the other hand, went out of the dressing room and glanced around for anyone watching. He had something on his mind.

 

End scene 6 and end of act 1

 

(A/N: Whew! Finally! That’s the end of that scene. I thank you guys for helping me with the lyrics of this song and now the next chapter, the cast and crew take their intermission while Ash is up to something. What is he up to? Find out next time! Bye!)
