Stephanie's POV

Ariel and Eric had their baby daughter Melody. She has big blue eyes and black hair. Other than the hair, she looks like Ariel. I am on a ship getting ready for the celebration of Melody. She is meeting her whole family today, under and above the sea. I'm so excited; we haven't been to the sea since Ariel got pregnant. Cindy came to live with us and that made me extra happy now I have a friend. Eric knocked on my door.

"Come on."

"Hey Steph; how do you feel about this?"

"I feel great. It's been so long since we have been out to sea."

"I have this feeling as if something bad is going to happen."

"Eric, chill out. I had that same feeling and you told me to push it off."

"You're right, see you in a bit." I walked out after he did and as I walked I heard Ariel singing to Melody. I smiled. She loves Melody so much. Just as I was about to in a felt this a huge force on me knocking me to the ground, that could only be one thing.

"Max, get off me. You're going to ruin my dress." He did and I got up. Not a moment too soon either. I walked to deck and Ariel and Eric were walking down the steps. I looked over the side of the boat and saw all the Merpeople in the water waiting to be introduced to Melody. I couldn't believe that this little girl has this huge world; two worlds actually.

Cindy's POV

Everything was wonderful. Melody was laughing and smiling. King Triton came up to the boat and gave her a locket so she would never forget that part of her heart will always belong to the sea. He opened it and a lullaby was played. As the song finished, he closed and began to give it her. A tentacle shot out of the water and grabbed Melody.

"MELODY!" Ariel yelled. The taker was none other than Morgona, Ursula's crazy sister.

"Morgona!" Triton's trident lit up and he got angrier than I've ever seen him. "Surrender the baby or I'll…" he stopped when Morgona kissed Melody's cheek. She really wasn't going to hurt Melody? No, no one takes anyone unless they are going to hurt them.

"Triton, what are you waiting for, blast her!" He put his hand up to stop me. I clenched my fists and stared at Morgona. I looked over at Stephanie; I could tell that she already was thinking of a plan. I then realized that Triton and Morgona were having a conversation.

"You can have whatever you want, just don't hurt little Melody." Triton said when she asked for the trident.

"Well, I get the trident, avenge poor unfortunate Ursula, and gain all the powers of the ocean, and it's not even ten o'clock, hum not a bad morning." Ariel grabbed Eric's sword and cut a rope. One of the rolled up sails came flying down.

"Hit the deck!" Eric cried. The sail hit Morgona and Melody went flying. Eric got up off the deck, grabbed rope, and jumped off the boat. He swung around and caught Melody. Melody was laughed the whole time. When Eric landed on the deck, Stephanie and I ran over to make sure that they were okay. Melody was fine, not even shaken. Ariel took Melody and hugged her close.

"This isn't the end Triton it's just the beginning." Morgona yelled as she spun to disappear along with her sting rays and mini shark that had been turned mini by Triton when he tried to eat Melody.

"After her!" Triton ordered.

"You'll never find me but I'll find you and your little granddaughter." She disappeared

"We shall not rest until that mad woman is vanquished! Find her FIND HER!" Triton yelled. We went back to the castle and sat on the beach. None of us dared to go in the ocean. Even Stephanie who loves the ocean, didn't even try to go in. Around sunset, Triton came back. "I'm sorry, there's no sign of her she's vanished. We'll keep trying, we'll…" he stopped short when I spotted Melody crawling toward the ocean.

"Sweetie, no." I gave her to Ariel.

"Oh, we have to keep Melody away from her. Until Morgona is found Melody can't go in the sea…" she breathed heavy to stop the tears. "…and neither will I."

"But Ariel…"

"I'm sorry Flounder, but if Morgona is anything like Ursula, she'll never give up. This is the only way, Melody can't know about Merpeople or Atlanitca…" she took the locket and handed it back to her father. "…or even you daddy." King Triton sighed heavily.

"Very well, Ariel, you're right. Sebastian you will watch over her." Sebastian fainted into the water. We all went back into the castle. I looked back one last time and saw Triton drop the locket into the ocean not really caring where it went. Ariel ordered a wall to be put around the castle. It was to have holes at the bottom so that they wouldn't be completely cut off from the ocean. Stephanie and I were put in charge of keeping Melody out of the sea. Perfect! We kept her safe. As she got older though she got wiser; she found out how to get to the sea. Stephanie and I talked about it and we decided that as long as she was with us nothing bad can happen. We wouldn't tell Ariel and Eric. It was our little secret with our niece.
