Madison reached to shore and leaned against the rocks, catching her breath from the exhaustion of swimming along with Sebastian and Flounder. She turned her head and face Ariel.
"Ariel, you alright?" she asked.
Ariel replied with a nod but then looked at her legs with a surprise look. She lifted her foot and smiled.
"I guess you're happy that you have legs." said Madison with a small smile.
"Well, look at what the catfish dragged in!" a voice spoke. All look up and saw Scuttle flying by and landed on Ariel's leg, "Look at ya! Look at ya! There's something different."
Ariel nods her head in reply.
"Don't tell me... I got it. It's your hairdo, right? You've been using the dinglehopper, right?" he asked but Ariel shook her head. "No? No huh, well let me see. New . . . seashells?"
The girls looked at each other and looked back at the seagull. Ariel starts shaking her leg, try to make Scuttle notice.
"No new seashells. I gotta admit I can't put my foot on it right now, but if I just stand here long enough, I know that I'll..."
"SHE'S GOT LEGS, YOU IDIOT!" Sebastian yelled in frustration.
Scuttle looked down to what he landed on flew off to see a better view until he landed beside the crab.
"She traded her voice to the sea witch and got legs. Jeez, man . . ."
"I knew that." said Scuttle.
"What happen was Sebastian tattle tell on her father about rescuing the prince, which is why she came to the sea witch." said Madison as she looked at the two and Flounder while Ariel tries to stand up.
"Ariel's been turned into a human. She's gotta make the prince fall in love with her, and he's gotta ki- he's gotta kiss her." said Flounder.
"And she's only got three days." said Sebastian.
Suddenly, Ariel fell to water and cause a splash on Madison and the others.
"Ariel, you alright?" Madison asked and Ariel nod her head.
"Just look at her. On legs. On human legs! My nerves are shot. This is a catastrophe! What would her father say? I'll tell you what her father'd say, he'd say he's gonna kill himself a crab, that's what her father'd say!"
"Would just chill? You're stressing yourself." said Madison.
"I will not chill! I'm gonna march meself straight home right now and tell him just like I shoulda done de minute..." as Sebastian went down to the water, Ariel quickly picked him up and shook her head. "And don't you shake your head at me, young lady. Maybe there's still time. If we could get that witch to give you back your voice, you could go home with all the normal fish, and just be . . . just be . . ."
Before Sebastian could say anything, he saw a sad expression on Ariel's face which cause him to feel guilty.
"Just be miserable for the rest of your life."
"Not only that. You'll be the one to blame and it will always be your fault." said Madison as she glares at the crab.
Sebastian looked at her and looked back at Ariel. He sighed, "All right, all right. I'll try to help you find that prince."
Ariel smiled and gave him a kiss and then she put him down on the rock.
"Boy. What a soft-shell I'm turning out to be." he said to himself.
"Good crab." Madison said to him, and Sebastian just look at her.
"Now, Ariel, I'm tellin' ya, if you wanna be a human the first thing you gotta do is dress like one. Now lemme see." he said as he grabbed a sail cloth and a rope.
Moments later, Madison helped by wrapping the sail around her friend and Scuttle used the rope to it around the sail to keep it still. Scuttle gave out a wolf whistle as he looked at her.
"Ya look great kid. Ya look sensational." he said.
"You sure this would work?" Madison asked as she wasn't so sure about how that dress turned out.
"Sure, I'm sure." he replied until everyone heard a bark. They look up and saw a familiar Sheepdog coming.
"Dog incoming!" Madison spoke and quickly hid behind the rocks while Flounder dive in and Scuttle flew off, but Sebastian went inside Ariel's dress.
Madison looked to see Ariel being chased by Max but yet she was still in thought.
"She still might need more help. There must be some way to..." Madison stopped herself for a moment and looked at her necklace. "I wonder..."
Madison dive into the water and swam to a different spot of the shore. She looked to see that Ariel is now with Eric but look back at her necklace.
"I hope you know what I'm thinking but I was wondering if..." before Madison could say anything the necklace glow.
The magic came out of the necklace and went around her tail, causing it to glow. Madison looked at her tail and the magic around her shoulders but as it stops and the glowing fade away, she got a good look at herself.
She was now human again and she was wearing a torn light blue and white dress with a blue waistline and her sleeves were short and sea foam color.
"Thank you." she whispered to the necklace, and it glow as a reply.
Madison slowly got up to keep her balance but didn't feel anything shaking or wobbling from her legs. She slowly took a few steps but still no unbalance. Madison smiled to herself that she was alright and start heading towards Ariel and Eric being close.
"There you are. I was looking for you." she acted as she looked at Ariel.
Ariel turned her head, and her eyes were shocked as she looked at her.
"Who are you?" Eric questioned.
"I'm Madison and this is my friend. We were both shipwrecked and we washed up on this shore. Don't know how long it's been but I've been looking out for this poor girl." she answered.
"Do you know her name then?"
"I... I'm afraid she hasn't told me." she lied.
"I see. You two must have really been through something." said Eric.
"Yes, we have." said Madison.
"Don't worry, I'll help you both. Come on." said Eric and helps Ariel, "Come on, you'll be okay."
The girls look back to see Flounder and Scuttle smiling at them. Well, they were smiling at Ariel but surprised to Madison with legs. Madison and Eric helped Ariel walk as the three were heading to the castle.
