Disclaimer: I do not own little mermaid otherwise there would be like five movies by now
Tip and Dash were walking along looking for somebody to help, their dream was to become heroes but so far they had not had any luck. But today luck seemed to be working in their favor, for they soon heard a cry of distress.
"Help! Someone please! HELP!" They looked at each other and rushed towards the call. When they arrived they saw a chain of penguins hanging over a cliff reaching towards a baby penguin who was trapped on a floating ice burg with a shark swimming around it. They jumped a little bit when they saw the shark but pushed on. Tip climbed down before Dash and as Dash was about to climb down he came to a realization. He was too heavy for the penguins to hold.
"Tip, this isn't going to work, I am too heavy." Tip realized he was right and quickly climbed back up much to the annoyance of the other penguins. They sat and thought for a moment. Suddenly Tip got an idea.
"Ma'am, we need to ask you to bring everyone up." The mother sighed in annoyance and asked why she needed to bring everyone up.
"Ma'am if you want to save your baby, dash needs to be the one holding the chain." The mother realized that they were right and told everyone to come back up. As soon as everyone was up the plan was explained. Dash would hold Tip and Tip would hold the next penguin and so on with the mother at the bottom.
"Ok. Everyone ready?" Everyone said they were and started climbing down.
"Ready, 1….2…3!" The chain was swung and the baby grabbed on. One by one the penguins began to come back up. "Mama!" With the little family reunited, Tip and Dash were praised for their bravery and called heroes. The penguins threw a party in their honor to celebrate their success.
Meanwhile:
Melody was swimming around looking for someone to help her get to Atlantica. She finally found a little clownfish that told her which way to go to get there. When she got there she quickly found the throne room and swam towards it hiding under the table when she saw the greedy king. When he finally left she swam up to the trident and worked hard to get it out. In the process of pulling the trident out of its holder her necklace fell off. She immediately dived after it. While she was picking it up off the ground she heard the king's voice.
"I'm sure she'll turn up soon Ariel." Ariel wasn't that her mother's name. As she was pondering this the king and the women came around the corner. She froze not sure what to do but dropped her necklace in shock when she saw the women.
"Melody!"
"Mom! You're a mermaid."
"Yes. I am, I'm sorry I never told you but there was an evil sea witch after you and I thought that it was the best way to protect you if you stayed away from the ocean."
"What is the sea witch's name?"
"Morgana."
"Morgana! But she's the one who gave me my tail and sent me to retrieve the trident from him."
"Melody, this is your grandfather and Morgana only wants the trident for power, she tried to kill you when you were a baby."
Melody thought for a few moments but then realized that her mom would never make up lies about something that would concern her safety. She returned the trident to her grandfather and gave her mom a hug.
"Melody."
"Yes, Grandfather?"
"How did Morgana give you a tail?"
"A bit of this potion in a purple jar."
At the equally horrified looks on her mothers and grandfathers faces she asked what was wrong.
"That purple jar contains a bit of Morgana's sisters magic, it won't last forever. In fact I don't know how much longer it will last."
"What but what am I supposed to do then?"
"We'll head to Morgana's lair to apprehend her, we will pretend to give her the trident when in reality we will be giving her a fake which will instantly trap her in a block of ice. We will be right outside the cave so make sure you stay above water in case the spell wears off and when it does I will temporarily transform you into a mermaid until we can get both of you home."
The plan went perfectly, Morgana never suspected a thing and although Melody turned back into a human she wasn't too far from the surface so she was able to quickly get above water and out of the cave to where her grandfather returned her to being a mermaid. Triton ordered his men to bring the frozen Morgana to the deepest part of the ocean and leave her there. The little family then made their way back to the castle where they saw Eric sitting on the beach looking worriedly out into the ocean. Triton changed both Melody and Ariel back and the family was reunited. The next week, with Morgana no longer a threat, the wall came down and both land and sea lived together in perfect harmony.
