A young girl is running through the castle with nothing put her pajamas on. She hides as she approaches more crowed areas of the estate. The workers are preparing and decorating the castle for a celebration of sorts. The young girl peeks from the corner with a smile on her face. She sprints towards the stairs.
"Melody darling what do you think you are doing?" said a women in a motherly voice. She had a smile on her face and approached the girl. Her hair was pinned up and she was wearing a crown.
Melody smiled in embarrassment "Hey Mother! I was just trying to –"
"Melody how many times have a told you a princess doesn't run around her castle in her pajamas," She places her hands on Melody and smiles "Come on before anyone sees you"
They both walk up the stairs smiling.
"It's not everyday that your daughter turns 15 years old," Ariel said.

The castle is filled with people from across the land. They are drinking, eating, dancing and laughing amongst each other. The musicians begin to blow their horns. Seconds later the entire room become quiet and turns to await the King and Queen.
"Here is your new princess! King Eric and Queen Ariel presents Princess Melody!" the guard said.
Everyone begins to applaud. Eric appears and holds out his hand for his wife who appears with a young beautiful baby girl. Ariel takes his hand and they begin to walk down the stairs to join their friends and family on the dance floor.
The celebration continues. Ariel is walking around showing off her daughter the new princess.
"Congratulations your Highness," said a familiar voice to Ariel
Ariel turns around to see her old friend Snow White. She shrieks and hugs her friend.
"Snow I'm so glad you could make it," Ariel said with a smile on her face "This is the best gift I could have ever asked for."
"Mother hood is a very precious gift." Snow said as she gently rubbed baby Melody head, which cause her to giggle.
Eric joins the two women. He kisses his wife on her forehead. Fireworks begin to go off. Ariel is surprised and turns to Eric. He takes her hand and leads her outside.
A bright light begins to glow from the sea, which causes scare.
"Eric! Eric you didn't?" Ariel said smiling as she watch the water begins to bubble.
Water spouts up and riding it is King Triton the ruler of the Seven Seas. He holds a shining gold trident, which allows him to control the water. He uses it to move the geyser of water closer to his daughter.
"My beautiful daughter Ariel," Triton says moving closer "You have given birth to the first child born of Land and The Sea. She is truly something magnificent and nothing can harm her."

Melody takes a seat at the mirror and begins to brush her hair. As she looks in the mirror she begins to frown. Ariel smiles and takes over brushing Melody hair.
"What's wrong darling?" Ariel said looking in the mirror.
"Mom? Have you ever felt like there is apart of you missing?"
"I can't say that I have but –
Eric walks into the room and smiles. Ariel finishes her hair by pinning it up. She then walks over to Eric.
"It's almost time for your big day sweetheart," Eric said to Melody.
Melody puts on a fake smile as her parents leave the door.
Ballroom
The castle ballroom is filled with kings and queens from all across the land. Ariel and Eric are walking around greeting their guest and making small talk. Melody appears in a beautiful peach floor length ball grown. All eyes on her as she nervously walks down the stairs into the crowd.
Her parents watch her with a smile. She forces a smile onto her face. As she reached the bottom of the stairs a young prince is waiting. He bows and holds his hand out as she curtsy and grabs his hand. They begin to dance and others follow suit.
"Happy birthday Princess," said the young prince as he twirled her.
"Thank you Prince," Melody said still being nervous.
"Hey? You don't have to be nervous. Let's just have fun," the prince said letting Melody and go and doing a solo dance "It's your birthday!"
She giggles and begins jumping and dancing. Both of these young airs are having fun amongst themselves.
"Hey. I'm Neal by the way," said Neal.

"All you have to do is ask sweetheart." Triton said places his trident back in his hand.
"I know Daddy, but I love my life on land. Melody and I are both apart of the Sea and she will always know that. She will grow up knowing all about the merpeople and Atlantica." Ariel said walking out the water "I will always love the sea but Land is my home now Daddy."
