Toony-Tornado: *pats you on the back* Don't throw yourself out from laughing! I tend to do that to my back. XD I always love the remote part because it takes great will power to just float there and keep pausing at the person who may or may not about to be attacking us. Thanks for the reviews, sweetie! Love them, as always!

nina del carmen: Don't worry, you'll see Hades soon! And I love her deliciously evil song, too! ^^

While the pin was still attached to Alicia's top, she still aims it toward our supposed rescue objective. Ursula stills from fear and holds her hands in the air. I swim in front of Ursula. I say frantically to Alicia while holding my hands out in front of me, "What are you doing?! Don't shoot at her!"

Alicia keeps her eyes past my shoulder and on Ursula. "I don't want to. But I will if I don't get that seashell and an answer. Ursula, hand it over."

Ursula looks at her while clutching her necklace. "Are you mad?! Do you have any idea what will happen if I give up the majority of my power?" Alicia shoots at her arm, making Ursula shout in pain. Kayla squeals and buries her head in Victoria's shoulder for comfort.

"Last chance! Hand it over!" Then, two eels grab both Alicia's arms and stretch them out to where she can't reach her pendant that's still pinned to her top. "Aaah! Hey, let go of me, you slimeballs!"

Ursula snarls at her and forms a ball of magic in her hand. "Ursula, no!" I shout. Yvette readies her wrench to attack.

"What makes you think I can't just kill you now?" Ursula asks with a glare in her eyes.

Alicia smirks. "Because Jenna wouldn't want one of her best friends to be killed in your hands, would she? Or do you prefer to lose her friendship and become alone for the rest of your miserable life?"

Ursula's face, which was once contorted with anger, begins to soften. She looks at me and the other girls and sighs. "I do want to be able to sleep at night. And I don't think I can with losing a friend like her. Flopsem, Jempsom, release the girl." Her pets let her go, and Alicia rubs her wrists before holding her hand out. Ursula takes off her necklace. Alicia grabs it from her to smash it against the wall.

"Now tell me," Alicia asks. "Do you know where she is?"

Ursula shakes her head and sighs, "I swear, dear, I don't know where she went. She said something about having other tasks, so I let her spend a couple of nights here and she left. That's the last I've seen of her."

Alicia looks at her long and hard. We remain floating where we are with tension filling the water all around. Alicia sighs.

Then Ursula says, "I can take you to someone else who might have seen her."

Lulu huffs out, "She could be useful, but somebody pissed off Morgana by shooting at her."

"Seriously Alicia, that was one of Jenna's favorites!" Kayla cries.

Alicia retorts, "Hey, I'm not the one that went 'exposition' on all of us!"

"Enough!" I yell. They all look at me and I get embarrassed. After clearing my throat, I ask, "Ursula, who is this someone else?"

Ursula groans and rolls her eyes. "I was hoping I'd never have to see her again."

"Who?" I press.

"The vapid queen and her stupid villagers roughhouse all over the shoreline of their little kingdom. And that daughter of hers has such a loud mouth, I can practically hear her from here." On cue, we hear giggles and cheers from afar and she sighs. "Speak of the little devils."

Kayla gasps with a smile. "I think that's Ariel! Are we going to see them?"

Alicia looks up toward the noise. "If it means getting more clues, then that's a definite 'yes'." Victoria smiles as Kayla giggles excitedly. The rest of us give out an exasperated groan. I can only hope Ariel's not as much of a whiner as she was before being a mother.

Low and behold, we find the two Disney heroines, Ariel and Melody, on the shore. Ariel is reading a book and Melody splashing about in the shallow water. We swim up to them. Ariel sees us and her faces turns surprised than to happy. She waves and tells Melody that we are here.

"Ursula, dear! You didn't tell me you have such lovely friends." Queen Ariel says as her extremely pink dress and so-called innocent face. "They are your friends, right?"

Ugh. Lulu murmurs to where Ariel can't hear, "Wow. Condescending thing to ask. Bitch."

Ursula acknowledges us. "Yes princess, they are my friends. Though, I'm not so sure about the one with the glasses." Alicia huffs and adjusts her glasses.

I reassure her, "We're all your friends. Right, Alicia?"

"Go get stuffed into a shower drain, rubber flab."

I chuckle nervously and rub my neck. "What'd I tell you? Total buds."

Ariel smiles and holds out her hand and introduces herself to us. Kayla takes her hand and shakes it. "Very nice to meet you, your highness!" Ariel giggles. "Well, it's so nice to meet you, too."

Ursula says irritatingly, "Ariel we are looking for a girl that came by my cave not too long ago. Have you seen her anywhere?"

Ariel looks up at the sky and taps her chin in thought.

Alicia adds, "Blonde hair? Big green eyes?"

"Oh! Do you mean Rapunzel?"

"No!" Lulu yells. "Come on, guys. She's no help. Neither is Ursula."

"Wait!" says Melody. "Are you talking about the mermaid with the white fin?"

Ursula beams. "Yes! That's the one! You know her?"

"Do I ever! She and my mother haven't gotten along so well, but she is such fun to talk to! Remember Jenna, mother?"

Ariel frowns and sits upon the sand. "Oh yes. She was quite a handful. She kept giving me these sneers." She looks with her chin up at Lulu. "Kind of like the one you are giving now."

"Oh, shut it." Ariel gasps at Lulu's sassing and Victoria intervenes. "Melody, do you know where she headed off to?"

"Well, she said something about going to visit Germany. Does that help?"

"Germany…Germany…" Alicia ponders to herself. "What Disney movie takes place there?"

Then I remember. "Isn't it Snow White?"

Kayla squeals, "Snow White!"

Rose asks, "Isn't that the one with the Betty Boop voice?"

"Sure is!" Kayla answers. "She's so adorable!" I actually like Snow White. She is, in fact, adorable and she's fourteen, so her naïveté makes sense.

Rose smiles. "We'll get to meet the dwarves and everything!"

Alicia announces, "First things first. We need to get Ursula to come with us."

Ursula holds her hands in the air. "Wait! I do not want to get caught up in police custody!"

I calm her as reassuringly as I can. "Don't worry. It's more like witness protection." Ursula looks at me, confused. "What do you mean?"

"You haven't heard?" Rose asks. "There's a crazy person killing off villains."

"Killing?! Then what did you take my unlimited powers for? I could have used them!"

Ariel glares, "You had unlimited powers? Those girls were right to take them from you. You also could have used them for malicious reasons. No one trusts you with that kind of power!"

Lulu yells out to Ariel, "Well, you were never such an angel, either! You were willing to give up your father and your kingdom for a boy you just met on a fishing boat. A fishing boat! Really think about that, you dumb broad!"

Everyone stares at Lulu in still tension. I had no idea that she can be so aggressive. Then, Melody giggles. "Gee, mother. And you thought Jenna was a handful."

"I can't believe you completely dissed out Ariel," Victoria says as we swim with Ursula to prepare for her to come with us to the blue house. "I know she's not everyone's favorite, but we could have done without the name-calling."

Ursula snickered. "Well, I thought it was amusing!" Lulu, Rose, and I laugh along with her.

Victoria frowns. "Great. My childhood gets ruined like this?"

We finally make it to the cave and Ursula has us wait outside. "I don't want any of you to see me grab my personal things as I pack." Alicia huffs. "Do whatever you need to do. Just don't have us wait longer than five minutes."

Ursula frowns. "Five minutes? That's not enough time to—" Alicia holds out her pin. Ursula says fast, "Five minutes, it is!" And she swims quickly inside.

Lulu speaks up. "So…it's been quite a few years. I know Ursula's a reformed villain now…to an extent, I mean. But I just expected there to be a few of those cursed soul plant things writhing in her cave."

Rose shrugs. "Maybe she just didn't make deals with anyone."

"Yea…" Lulu says. "But a villain like that can't have that much self-control over the years. What do you think's been holding her back from making any more deals with people?"

During Jenna's Previous Visit:

Jenna: Hey girl, I just wanted to stop by and see how you were I SAID NO MORE PLANTS.

Ursula: *holds a writhing cursed plant thing* But he didn't hold up his end of the bargain!

Jenna: I also said 'no more bargains' and I meant it! Now change him back before I don't come back for any more makeover nights.

Ursula: You wouldn't!

Jenna: *crosses her arms*

Ursula: *she sighs and changes him back to a mermaid with brown hair*

Mermaid Guy: *turns to Ursula* You're crazy, lady! *and he swims off*

Lulu sighs. "I guess we'll never know."

We wait and wait until minute ten rolls by. Alicia gets fed up and grabs her pin. "That's it. I'm tired of waiting." I hold her off and say, "Let me go check on her. I don't want us to scare her away." Alicia sighs and gestures me in.

I swim slowly inside, and the room somehow feels…sinister. More so, anyway. But what is it about this place now that is suddenly foreboding?

"Ursula?" I call out. I don't get an answer. I call out her name again. Still, nothing.

I swim deeper into the cave and pick up a strange smell. It smells like…copper.

Oh no.

"Ursula?" I call out more desperately, swimming faster to her main chamber as I prepare myself for the worse.

Though, nothing could prepare for what I see before me. Ursula, the powerful sea witch, is lying face down on the floor with blood floating around her. It only takes me a few seconds of stunned silence before I start screaming.
