The pirates decided they would capture them from the ship. They had their nets ready for them, it was late at night and the moon was full at the time they chose to hunt. They were all ready to attack except for Alix who was asleep. As Adrien made his way toward the edge of the ship, Plagg grabbed the ends of the jacket and pulled on it.

"Plagg! Let go!"

But the cat just kept pulling as though he were begging him not to go. But Adrien just shooed him away.

From a distance each of the mermaids rose to the surface, except for Marinette who perched herself on a rock. She swallowed hard, Alya gave her a reassuring smile. Then all the mermaids began to sing except for Marinette.

"Sailing...sailing." Their sing was like an echo.

The pirates except Adrien quickly fell under the spell.

"Fight it men!" Adrien ordered. "Fight it!"

Adrien's will was as strong as the ocean itself, he glared angrily at the mermaids who serenaded his men. Marinette watched him from her perch and began to sing.

"Somewhere, beyond the sea

somewhere waiting for me...

My lover stands on golden sands

and watches the ships that go sailing.."

She sang in such a gentle and angelic voice the Adrien felt his will to resist slip away. His thoughts were fading and he couldn't think. He tried to fight it but it was a futile effort for no man no matter how strong willed or hard hearted could ever resist Marinette's melting voice.

"Somewhere, beyond the sea

he's there watching for me.

if I could fly like birds on high

Then straight to his arms I'd go sailing."

She got down from her rock and swam toward the ship. Adrien's eyes followed the swimming figure and leaned over the edge completely mesmerized by her singing.

"That voice." He sighed. "It's...so...beautiful."

"It's far, beyond the stars

it's still beyond the moon.

I know, beyond a doubt my heart

will lead me there soon.

We'll meet beyond the shore

we'll kiss just as before

happy we'll be beyond the sea

and never again I'll go sailing."

Rose began to play a harp while Juleka played her flute. Marinette swam closer and closer until she pulled herself up to the edge of the ship where their faces met. She cupped his face in her hands and smiled at him. He placed his hand on her cheek and brushed her hair back.

"We'll meet beyond the shore

we'll kiss just as before

happy we'll be beyond the sea

and never again I'll go sailing."

She brought his lips toward hers, all it would take was one simple kiss then she could pull him under, sending him to a watery grave. Then the other pirates would be hopeless to escape being drowned by the other mermaids. But just as his lips were about to touch hers the little boy she had saved long ago flashed into her mind.

"I can't!" She gasped. "I can't do it!"

She released him and started to swim away. She might have escaped had it not been for Alix's cry which snapped them out of.

"Wake up you guys! There's a mermaid right in the clear!"

Before Marinette could dive under water, a net was thrown over her. She screamed, the other mermaids swam to help her but the pirates shot harpoons and cannons at them. She was pulled aboard deck where she squished and squirmed trying to get away. When they tried to grab her, she smacked them off with her tail, she pulled the net off herself and hurried toward the edge of the ship. She was almost free she when a strong pair of hands grabbed her arms, she looked up into the piercing green eyes of Adrien.

"Nice try dearie." He said grinning at her. "Did you really think it would be that easy?"

She looked at him with her frightened blue eyes. He lifted her up, she struggled but he was too strong. Ivan and Kim brought a glass tank over to him where he placed her inside. Then the tank was taken below deck to a room across from the captains quarters. An hour later Adrien walked in.

"I demand that you release me at once!" She cried as she started beating on the tank.

"Sorry Princess." He said. "I don't take orders from anyone."

"What do you want from me?" She asked. "To kill me? To sell me? Sell parts of me?"

"All tempting offers but no. Luckily that is in your case, I need you alive."

"What for? Do you want my jewels? I have none except for the pair of earrings I'm wearing now."

"No. You see I'm looking for the fountain of dreams and it turns out only a mermaid can find it so you could say I'm using you as a map."

"Ha!" She laughed. "Do you honestly think I would ever show you where the fountain dreams is? Never!"

He pulled out his sword and pointed it toward her. "Don't triffle with me, I'll have you know that I can be quite impulsive and it can lead me to shed blood."

"Go ahead then! I would rather die than help a greedy monster like you find the fountain of dreams." She said. "You pirates are all alike, selfish and cruel. You take what you want regardless of how it effects others. The fountain was a gift to mankind by the heavens used only to help those sick and hurt but men like you used it for your own selfish desires."

He slammed his sword the floor and growled under his breath. "Fine! Don't tell me, but until you talk you will not get a bite of anything to eat." He picked up his sword and headed for the door. "Let's see how a few days of hunger treat you."

He flashed her a smug look, she turned away from him. He shut the door and went aboard the ship to eat and drink with his men. Once he was gone Tikki flew through the porthole window.

"Tikki! I need help!" She said.

"I'll bust you out of here." She chirped.

"No! That won't do much good. I need another solution."

"I think I know someone who can help." She flew out the window. "I'll come back for you."
