Request: Alright, the first one I thought of is for copia & his s/o. I was thinking of something from The Little Mermaid? The scene from kiss the girl where they're in a rowboat together (you can make the s/o cursed like Ariel too with no voice if you want! I'll leave the choice up to you.)but instead it's the ghouls playing instruments &singing.Maybe papa iii as scuttle in this scenario;he has a good voice we know, but he'd probably be annoying on purpose here. As for Sebastian,it could be Swiss?

There had been plenty of beautiful sunsets before. Watching them fall over water, over land, turning the skies every pastel color you could imagine, before the sun fell beyond the horizon to nights welcomed darkness. But that evening, the girl prayed the sun might never have to go down so the colors in the sky would never fade, and that they would never have to go home. From inside the gently rocking boat, she heard Scuttle, up on a branch just above the Cardinal, screaming some awful sound. 

"Wow, someone should find that poor animal and put it out of its misery." The girl smiled nervously, and when she looked up at the bird, he winked at her. This is going to be awful, she thought. 

"I'm surrounded by amateurs..." Sebastien said from the side of the boat, before jumping into the water. The girl was thankful only she could hear what they were saying. As the boat floated on around the small cove through the lily pads, a soft music began to play around the pair. The Cardinal, with his head resting on his hands, simply stared at the girl while she watched the water. The way she wrapped her soft, vibrant red hair around her fingers mindlessly. Every time she looked up at him they both perked up and smiled. She would lean forward, ever so ready to finally have their first kiss, and he would lean back with the oars and paddle on. Soon, against all wishes, the sun had gone down, and the moon rose, it's light glistening down on the water between the row boat and the horizon. The Cardinal released the oars and leaned back in the boat. 

"You know, I feel really bad not knowing your name." The girl smiled nervously. She wished so awfully that she could tell him - not only her name, but so many other things. She wished she could voice every single thing she thought, and idea she had, and every opinion she could give. All she wanted in the world was to be able to speak her name and in the following seconds hear it come out of his mouth. "Maybe I could guess? Is it... Mildred?" The girl twisted her face up and shook her head. The Cardnal let out a hearty laugh. "Okay, no. Is it, Diana? Rachel?" The girl shook her head again both times. Sebastian hopped up on the side of the boat hanging from nothing but a claw. 

"Ariel. Her name is Ariel." He whispered at the top of his lungs. 

"Ariel.... Ariel?" This time the girl nodded quickly, finally smiling. Finally got it right. "Huh, that's kinda pretty. Okay, Ariel." He took her hands into his as the boat drifted under a willow tree. As the soft music continued, from where neither of them decided to question, and the tension grew between their excited smiles, all the girl could think about was kissing him. The wooden boat spun in a circle in the dark water, in the cover of the hanging willow branches, nothing but the moon illuminating their features and shining in their eyes. As if it was a mere trick of the eyes, fireflies began to twinkle all around, sparkling in the air like glitter. They both slowly began to lean in, lips pursing, eyes gently closing. A tender moment so electrically charged with excitement you never wanted it to end, but wanted so badly for the result: the kiss. But, at the very last second, just before their lips could touch, the boat turned over and threw them both into the water. Sebastian sighed loudly as they both struggled to the surface. Tonight is not the night.
