Welcome back! I'm glad to see you, and so is Sweetie the Sea Witch! Hope you enjoy!
Once Skye was alone, Henry and Elizabeth the Mer-Kitties swam up to her.
"Oh, Skye." Henry said, placing a paw on Skye's shoulder. "You look like you could use some help."
"Yeah." Elizabeth added. "And we know just where to get it. Come with us, and all your problems will be solved."
Skye stopped crying, looked up, and said, "Uh, I don't know…"
"Oh, come on! We know what we're doing."
"Okay, I guess."
The three then swam off. Meanwhile, in Sweetie the Sea Witch's lair, she was applying some makeup when she heard Henry's voice.
"Hey, boss?"
Sweetie looked over. When she saw her Mer-Kitty cronies with Skye, her face lit up.
"Ah, Princess Skye! What a surprise! I heard you have some trouble with a prince, is that correct?"
"Uh, yeah."
"Why, you poor, unfortunate soul. It seems that the only way to get what you want, is to become a Land-Pup yourself."
"Become a Land-Pup? Can… can you do that?"
"Skye, Skye, Skye. That's what I do! What I live for! To help the Mer-Pups who need it the most, like yourself! Sure, I may have earned my reputation as a witch, but that's all over!"
Henry and Elizabeth sniggered to themselves, and Sweetie activated her magic, bringing up images of Skye with hind legs.
"Here's my best offer. I have a spell that will turn you into a Land-Pup for three days. If you can get the prince to fall in love with you and kiss you before the sun sets on the third day, you'll stay a Land-Pup forever. If not, you'll turn back into a Mer-Pup and your soul will be mine. Have we got a deal?"
"If I become a Land-Pup, will I ever see my family again?" Skye softly asked. "My sisters? And my father?"
"Hmm… I'm afraid they're not part of the picture." Sweetie said, then giggled slightly. "Life's just full of tough choices, isn't it? Oh, yes, and there is one more thing. My fee."
"Oh… I don't have anything."
"I'm not asking for a lot! What I want is, your voice."
"My voice? But how will I…"
"You'll still have your pretty little face! And don't forget about the power of body language! So, what'll it be?"
"Um…"
"Come on! I'm a very busy pup! Five, four, three, two…"
"Yes! Yes, I'll do it!"
"Atta girl."
"Ooh, the boss is on a roll!" Henry whispered to Elizabeth, who nodded in response. Meanwhile, Sweetie was preparing her spell.
"And, there! Now, all you have to do is sing!"
Skye hesitated for a moment, then began to sing. As she sung, her voice left her mouth, floating into a pendant Sweetie was holding. At the sight of this, Rocky and Zuma, who had just arrived, gasped.
"SKYE! NO!"
But it was too late. Skye's tail split in half, and the two halves morphed into a pair of hind legs. For a second, Skye struggled to breathe, until Sweetie summoned a large bubble around her. Skye floated up to the surface, with Zuma and Rocky swimming behind.
Welp, the deed has been done! Make sure you tune in next time when Skye experiences life on land! See you then!
