Wan swam far off in the middle of the empty sea. Something inside of him wanted to express himself no matter what. Ocheana had a way of making people feel different. Wan heard the sounds of the ocean, he sat on a rock. He sang a small melody, his voice rang like smooth bells that relaxed the mind and soul.

"You have a magnificent voice."

Wan gasped quickly snapped out and glanced to his left to see the small red crab. "What? I don't know what your-"

"Don't you lie to me, I saw you singing your heart out," the crab shouted with a Jamaican accent, "I haven't seen that much talent in a while."

"Really?" Wan blushed "I thought I was just-"

"Now don't you say that you can't sing."

"I wasn't!" Wan lied, a bit intimidated by the crab, he saw up to Wan's face. "Hmm... What's your name boy?"

"Wan."

"Well, Wan you do have extraordinary talent. The male version of Ariel I say! Nonetheless, you do need work."

"What work? And your name is…?"

"Sebastian, and a bit with your lower notes and stop hiding your talent!" And with that, he swam away. Wan chuckled as he swam home.

The Next Morning

"What do you mean 'Ariel rescued a human from drowning'?" The pink tailed mermaid inquired, she swims up to shore. To see ariel laying on a rock watching a young man walk away clearly exhausted. Team A's heads breached the ocean surface to watch.

Ariel

I don't know when

I don't know-how

But I know something's starting right now

Watch and you'll see

Someday I'll be

Part of your world

The waves rolled as the redhead mermaid pushed herself up with her hands, as the current caught her hair letting it flow in unison with it.

Araxie mouth gaped in genuine shock. Team A looked confused, "Um, what's the big deal?" Aang shouted. Araxie turned towards the monk, "She's in love. With. A. Human."

"So?" Amy shrugged, "Oh Neptune, you really aren't from here." The mermaid mumbles. Flotsam and Jetsam swim-up once again sharing one vision to the sea witch.

She chuckled as she clamped her fist in a triumphant shake, " Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. I can't stand it, it's too easy. The child is in love with a human. And not just any human - a prince!" She chuckled laying her head down. "Even better, the Avatars don't know about the mighty King Triton's laws on humans and merfolk! Oblivious can be!"

"Her daddy'll LOVE that. King Triton's headstrong, lovesick girl would make a charming addition to my little garden..."


"And that's why Merfolk doesn't go to the surface," Araxie said placing her warm seaweed on the table. The team looked horrified, Korra spoke up, "I see why Triton doesn't really care for humans."

"Yes, I'm surprised you haven't heard of that law. You must really be nomads, huh?"

"Yep, wandering with the ocean." Aang covered for us quickly. "So, Wan do you have any secrets?"

Wan spat out his seaweed he instantly turned to Amy, who slurped her food. "Of course not!"

"Lying."

"I am not!"

"I still have my earth bending Wan." She whispered Wan heart was going one-hundred miles per hour.

He wasn't a very good liar.

Wan set down his bowl of food and dismissed himself, "I'm going to take a swim." he swims off to his little room, Aang shrugged at Wan's unusual behavior. "Somethings up."

"Very much so." Korra acknowledged.


The King of the Sea mused and chuckled to himself, he found out this morning that his youngest daughter was in love. He was thrilled, he gazed at the pink flower she had put on his hair.

" Let's see, now. Oh, who could the lucky merman be? Maybe that merman with the red tail and long hair. Yes, he and she would be wonderful!" His glace spotted Sabastian, he smiled with glee then went into his half-serious grin, "Come in, Sebastian."

"I mustn't overreact. I must remain calm." The crab mumbled to himself then gulped "Yes, your majesty?"

"Now, Sebastian, I'm concerned about Ariel. Have you noticed that she's been acting strange lately?"

"Strange?"

"You know, moaning about, daydreaming, singing to herself. You haven't noticed, hmm?"

"Noticed what?" The Jamaican crab started to panic as the Sea King integrated him, then he broke.

"I tried to stop her, sir. She wouldn't listen. I told her to stay away from humans - they are bad, they are trouble, they-" He put his claws on his mouth; he said too much.

The Sea King's face grew dark with anger, this was not the outcome he wanted. Sebastian swam back, "Humans? WHAT ABOUT HUMANS?!?"

"Humans? Ho ho ho ho. . . . Who said anything about humans?" The sea king grabbed the crab.


"Flounder, why can't you just tell me what this is all about?" Ariel moved a stone then both her and the fish swam in the cave. Once she got into her collection she gasped.

"Surprise!" Team A cheered moving over for the redhead to see the statue of Prince Eric she gasped and swim towards it.

"We hoped that you'll like it." Araxie grinned, Ariel gawked at the statute. "Oh, Flounder you guys are the best! It looks just like him. It even has his eyes! "Why, Eric, can't I run away with you? This is all so - so sudden!" she twirled around in glee, not noticing her father behind her, Team-A gulped hard.

"Uh, Ariel. Your dad is here."

She turned and gasped, "Daddy!"

"King Triton!"

"I consider myself a reasonable merman. I set certain rules, and I expect those rules to be obeyed by everyone!" Araxie and Team A all shrank down in shame. His gaze went towards his daughter, "Is it true you rescued a human from drowning?"

"Daddy, I had too!"

"Contact between the human world and the mer-world is strictly forbidden, Ariel, you know that! Everyone knows that! They know that!"

"He would have died!"

"One less human to worry about!"

Team A spontaneously cringed at that statement, Korra was holding herself back. Araxie said nothing just observed.

"You don't even know him!" Ariel snapped back in outrage.

"Know him? I don't have to know him. They're all the same. Spineless, savage, harpooning, fish-eaters, incapable of any feeling-"

Ouch.

"Daddy, I love him!" Ariel gasped and withdrawn however it was too late as everyone gasped in terror. Amy was about to faint at those words.

"No. Have you lost your senses completely? He's a human, you're a mermaid!"

"I don't care."

"So help me, Ariel, I am going to get through to you. And if this is the only way, so be it." His trident began to glow a mighty gold then Begins to blast the artifacts with his trident.

Any couldn't believe her eyes, her father destroyed everything that kept her joyous in this world. She begged and pleaded to stop until he finally blasts statue. Ariel begins sobbing on a nearby rock.

Amy turned to the sea king, He looks at her with remorse, then departs.

Araxie stroked Ariel's hair as she let out her sadness, Aang held her hand, "I'm so sorry."

"Leave me alone."

Aang and Araxie sighed, Wan stared down the crab in anger. "I'm sorry." The crab murmured regrettably.

They all left her be.

"Poor child..." One eel said swimming with its twin.

"Poor, sweet child..." The other added.

"She has a very serious problem…"

"If only there were something we could do..."

"But there is something..."

"Who - who are you?" the redhead looked up.

"Don't be scared..."

"We represent someone who can help you..."

"Someone who could make all your dreams come true..."

"Just imagine..."

"You and your prince..." they seemed to knot their tails together in a loving fashion.

"Together, forever..."

The teenager seemed confused and saddened at the same time, how was it even possible?Her and Eric was two different species.

"I don't understand..."

"Ursula and Unalaq have great powers..."

"The sea witch? Why that's - I couldn't possibly - no! Get out of here! Leave me alone!"

"Suit yourself..." they swam in the other direction, leaving ariel alone.

"It was only a suggestion..." Jetsam flicks the statue's broken face towards Ariel. The girl seemed conflicted, then, when looking at the face, she glanced up.

"Wait!"

"Yeeeeeeeeeees?"
