Do you believe in magic? Do you believe that miracles can really happen? Does imagination, adventure and the unbelievable fill your world? In my life it does. It has since before I was even born. Some of you may think that all of this is just nonsense of a childs over active mind. Or that the impossible is just…well just that, impossible. If so, you could never be more wrong. I learned as a young child that every bit of this is real. And the impossible is and will always be…possible. My name is Jeffrey, and this story is the one that started it all, and started my belief. This is the story of a beautiful princess named Melody, a flying boy named Peter Pan, and their first great adventure together…

Return To The Sea

Sea No More

Ch. 1

Ariel Eric and King Triton were at the beach, discussing the events that just happened. They were all still shaken by it. They had not expected to see Morgana, the sea witch Ursula's sister, at their daughters celebration. King Triton and all his mermen had searched all over the ocean, but had not found any sign of her or her lair.

"I'm sorry. There's no sign of her, she's vanished!" Triton looked around sadly. "But we'll keep trying…we'll…"

He didn't know what to say. Ariel sulked at the ground sadly. As she did, she saw little Melody crawling towards the water, splashing her hands at the edge. Ariel rushed over and picked her up.

"Sweetie no." she said calmly. "Oh we've got to keep Melody away from her. Until Morgana is found, Melody can't go into the sea…" Ariel sighed. "…and neither will I."

"But Ariel…" Flounder winded.

"I'm sorry Flounder. But if Morgana is anything like Ursula, she'll never give up."

Ariel looked down at Melody. She was playing with her necklace, putting it in her mouth. Ariel frowned sadly as she took the necklace away from her. Melody started to whimper as she reached her hands to grab it, but Ariel handed it to her father.

"This is the only way. Melody can't know about merpeople or Atlantica…or even you daddy."

King Triton took the necklace from Ariel's hands. He sighed sadly.

"Very well Ariel. You're right."

Ariel turned from him and rested her head on Eric's chest. He placed his arm around her, patting her head gently. Triton turned and started to swim away. Then the turned to Sebastian.

"Sebastian, you will watch over her." he whispered.

"Me?" Sebastian squeaked. "Why?"

Sebastian through his head back and he fell backwards into the water. Triton gave one last look over at the shore before swimming out to the sea. Ariel and Eric turned and started walking back up the stairs. But as they did, Melody held her gaze out to the sea. As Triton stopped for a moment, he looked down at the locket. His hand slowly drooped, and it fell into the sea, never to be seen again.

Ariel was sitting in hers and Eric's bedroom. She was sitting on her side, and he was reading a book on his. They were talking about what to do about Melody.

"What are we going to do?" asked Ariel.

"Don't worry darling. We'll figure something out." Eric assured her.

At that moment, they both heard a low cry coming from the room next to them. Melody must have woken up. Ariel got up.

"I got it."

She walked out of the room. She went down the hallway to Melody's room. She got to the door and walked in. Inside was a beautiful nursery with bright blue walls. In the corner on one side was a small seashell crib, and small cries were coming from it. Ariel sighed as she walked over to it. She looked down and saw Melody whimpering and struggling in her blankets. Ariel smiled and picked her up.

"It's ok." she cooed softly. "I'm here, I'm here."

Ariel moved a piece of hair out of Melody's face and stroked her cheek gently.

For the waves

Roll low

And the waves

Roll high

And so it goes

Under a bright blue

Endless sky

Waves try to measure

The days that we treasure

Wave hello

And wave

Goodbye….

Melody's crying had finally stopped. She was now almost asleep, her head buried in her mothers chest. Ariel smiled as she placed Melody back in her crib. She sighed. Ariel didn't want anything to happen to Melody, but she hated having to keep her from the sea. She would talk to Eric about it in the morning. Ariel looked down at Melody for a moment then turned to leave…

"Ariel!"

Ariel turned to see who was in the room, then she gasped. There on the balcony was a young boy floating-yes floating-in mid-air. He was tall and lean, looked very thin but muscular, had dark brown eyes and fiery red hair. He was dressed in a green V-neck shirt and tight dark green tights, around his waist was a brown belt with a small dagger in its holder, and atop his head was a green hat with a bright red feather. The boy was smiling brightly at her, but all Ariel could do was gape at him. Could it really be him, after all these years?

"Peter?"
