Stephanie's POV

OH MY GOD! I woke up this morning to find out that Eric had found another woman. As soon as he was done talking to Grim, I marched right over to him.

"Eric, are you out of your mind, that woman isn't the one you love. It's Ariel Eric." He had told me last night that he finally learned her name.

"Ariel can't speak, she can't be the one." He told me as if in a trance. I slapped him hard hoping to break him out it but it had no effect. I stormed off. Grim told me that the wedding was going to take place this afternoon. Since Eric was my best friend, I was going to go. I hated this woman; she was taking Eric away from the best thing that ever happened to him. I was getting dressed, Cindy came and knocked on the door.

"Eric's getting married to the wrong girl." She said as soon as she came in.

"Yeah, no kidding. This girl Vanessa is a witch!"

"Literally, I can't really explain it but she actually is a witch. She has Eric under a spell. If the necklace she's wearing breaks then the spell will be broken and Ariel's voice will return and Eric will realize that it's her."

"Okay, Cindy, I need to know why you can't explain anything you tell me." Cindy sighed.

"Okay, sit down. I've from here neither is Ariel. We're both mermaids. I'm not crazy and we really are there are such things. Vanessa is the sea witch, Ursula. She gave me and Ariel a way to come here because Ariel fell in love with Eric. If she doesn't kiss him by sunset tonight, then she and I will turn back into mermaids. She will belong to Ursula and I'll lose my position in the royal court. Please Stephanie, you have to believe me."

"Somehow, I do. I do believe you. We have to get Ariel and get her to the ship." Just then Carlotta came in to take Cindy to get ready. "Cindy, if we're on the ship, we can get to them both easier." She nodded and went to her room. As I slipped the gown on that I bought, I wondered if I would wear it again. Another maid came in and did my hair. I couldn't believe that I was actually getting ready for the wrong wedding. I went to the "bride" once we were on the ship. "I don't know what the hell you're trying to pull off, but once you're exposed your history, bitch."

"Just so we're clear, as soon as Eric and I are married, you're gone. I think it's about time you stop living with the same guy you love, especially since he's getting married." I stormed off I couldn't stand that woman. How dare she tell me I couldn't me live with Eric.

Cindy's POV

We got on the boat and as it pulled away, I could see Ariel come from behind a pillar and sink down and cry. My heart broke, this was our last chance to make things right. I went over to Stephanie and told her.

"Damn it." A little after the wedding ceremony started we heard Scuttle chirping in that annoying voice. Then I heard a bunch of birds doing the same thing. Then I realized that they were stalling the wedding which must have meant that Ariel was on her way. I took of the dress being that I had casual clothes underneath just for this. I ran after Scuttle just as seals came in and were bouncing her on their noses like a ball and threw her into the cake. Dolphins jumped up and spit the water on her. Scuttle grabbed the necklace string with his beak and was pulling. I noticed Max and thought of what he could do. If he bit her, then Scuttle could pull the necklace off.

"Here Max. Here boy." I called him. He tore apart from Grim and ran to me. "Get her." I pointed to Vanessa. He ran over and bit her and covered my mouth to hide the laugh. The necklace flew off and shattered at Ariel's feet that I had just noticed arrived on the ship. Eric shook his and I knew the spell was broken. Ariel's voice filled the air and returned to her throat.

"Ariel?"

"Eric."
