Phoebe's POV:
It seems that Gerald and I have really connected even though we are both very different, we seem to attract to each other. I been having the greatest time with Gerald. I realize we both come from different worlds, Gerald's half human and half merman while I'm just a regular mermaid who barely even knows magic. We began chatting and getting to know each other and came to the conclusion that we have been accidentally avoiding our bestfriends. We decided to check on them but didn't want to part ways. Suddenly, while in Gerald's arms, I hear distance cry that sounded like Princess or something that sounded like Helga. I knew instantly that something was wrong. Gerald seemed to sense my worry and we parted ways and I suggested that he should see Arnold cause if there's trouble in the sea, something could be wrong on land as well. As we separated, we gave each other one last kiss before leaving the warmth of each other's arms. Somehow I had this gut feeling that whatever was happening will change our lives forever and we might never see each other again. I swam as fast as I could and found myself near the castle. In distance I saw a mermaid racing at great speed before, I could react, the mermaid crashed into me and I saw it was Helga.
Helga's POV:
I was rushing to get to the castle, I knew something was wrong. I saw a mermaid in the distance and couldn't stop myself in time and collided with the mermaid after observing the mermaid, I realized it was Phoebe. I sobbed and hugged her. Spilling out everything that happened to me, about Arnold and how I long to be human to be with him, to explore that world. Phoebe gasped and stared at me, shocked. I knew what she was thinking that I was crazy, I know I am but I must find a way to be with Arnold. Phoebe frowned and managed to smile at me sadly. "Oh Helga, I'm sorry I haven't been around lately, I was just hanging out with Gerald. I know how you feel but you must see, that you can't become human, it's impossible. No magic can change a merman or mermaid to be human, if there was. It has been forbidden and has never been used. You know I want you to be happy but you have to get this fantasy out of your....." Before Phoebe could finish, I was dragged by guards, I tried to struggle free but they held me tightly. I watched in horror as Phoebe screamed and was taken away to who knows where. Tears were silently coming down my cheeks, I wiped them away. I had to be strong for everything.
Meanwhile.....*Regular POV*
Lila smirked, her plan was going perfectly, soon she will rule the land and sea. No one seemed to know or sense that she was the Dark Wizard, the evil demon that caused the Land and Sea to never be in harmony. Lila laughed as she came out from the King and Queen of land's royal room after telling them the story of how Arnold sneaked out and went in the ocean and water to meet with mermaids how the mermaid practically drowned him. The King and Queen were outraged and sounded the trumpets it was time to have a meeting with the Royals of the Sea. As guards and the King and Queen went outside to the shoreline, awaiting their enemies to arrive. Lila changed into a bird to watch from above, the action and hate that will occur. The Royals arrived and a fight began. They came to agreement that none of their kind will meet with each other or war would start and everything will be destroyed. Lila vanished to her cave, she called her follower Stinky to keep an eye on Helga and called her follower Sid to watch over Arnold, and make sure nothing will ruin her plans. The followers went off to their destinations, never looking back.
Arnold's POV
I ran towards my parents to get some answers. " Mom? Dad? What's going on?" I asked. They stared at me and hugged me tight. "There's a new rule, no one will enter the Seas or Oceans again, especially you, it's too dangerous. You are forbidden to ever go into that Ocean again. My mother and father replied. I glared at them with hatred. "How could you do that? I love the ocean. I have a friend there. You can't do this." I shouted while my mother tried to comfort me. "It's for the best, for you own good." She murmured. I pushed her hands away when she tried to hug me. "I hate you. You may rule this kingdom, but you'll never rule me." I roared as I ran way from them. How could they do this to me? How could they take away my freedom? Going out in the sea/ocean isn't dangerous, it's the only place where I can relax and enjoy myself with my bestfriend Gerald. I sighed and turned around to see two guards behind me and my parents going back into the castle. " Prince, your parents are going on a trip and they would like you to pick a bride by your birthday which would be coming up soon. We were asked to watch over you. WE can't leave you side." Explained the guards." I grumbled and frowned. This is not going to be a good day. I thought as I watched my parents leave on their trip. I was alone with overprotective guards, a castle, and soon a tight mess when the single women of the kingdom find out the prince needs a bride by his birthday. I already had the girl in mind, the girl I met today. How will I ever be able to marry her or even ask when I don't even know where she lives, or why she doesn't want to speak to me or even explore the castle?
Regular POV:
Gerald found Arnold down in the dumps and decided to cheer him up. They began talking about everything while Arnold was telling Gerald about the girl with no name that captured his heart and Gerald was just talking about Phoebe and how much he likes her and wants Arnold to meet her while Arnold wanted the girl with no-name to meet him but didn't know how he'll ever see her again if she didn't want to be found and weren't allowed to go in the Ocean. Gerald and Arnold were furious, they couldn't go in the Ocean if the guards kept following Arnold and keeping a watch over the shoreline, making sure no one goes in. They were in some mess but decided to go enjoy themselves and figure out everything later.
~Meanwhile Helga and Phoebe were getting a speech about the rule that no one can go near the shoreline, or anywhere near land and just stay way from humans. ~
Regular POV
Helga groaned and Phoebe sighed as the Helga's parents went on and one about the rules and how humans were bad and evil. "I don't believe that!" Argued Helga as she held Phoebe's hand tightly for support while Phoebe squeezed back. "Maybe this will help you." Cried one of the Royals of the Sea while a crab came out with a band.
Under the Sea
In somebody else's lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin' for?
Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin'
Full time to floatin'
Under the sea
Down here all the fish is happy
As off through the waves they roll
The fish on the land ain't happy
They sad 'cause they in their bowl
But fish in the bowl is lucky
They in for a worser fate
One day when the boss get hungry
Guess who's gon' be on the plate
Under the sea
Under the sea
Nobody beat us
Fry us and eat us
In fricassee
We what the land folks loves to cook
Under the sea we off the hook
We got no troubles
Life is the bubbles
Under the sea
Under the sea
Since life is sweet here
We got the beat here
Naturally
Even the sturgeon an' the ray
They get the urge 'n' start to play
We got the spirit
You got to hear it
Under the sea
The newt play the flute
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass
And they soundin' sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul(Yeah)
The ray he can play
The lings on the strings
The trout rockin' out
The blackfish she sings
The smelt and the sprat
They know where it's at
An' oh that blowfish blow
Under the sea
Under the sea
When the sardine
Begin the beguine
It's music to me
What do they got?
A lot of sand
We got a hot crustacean band
Each little clam here
know how to jam here
Under the sea
Each little slug here
Cuttin' a rug here
Under the sea
Each little snail here
Know how to wail here
That's why it's hotter
Under the water
Ya we in luck here
Down in the muck here
Under the sea
~The Crab and Band stopped and turned toward Helga. Helga screamed "Can't you see? The land is beautiful. How could you think a place filled with beautiful things could be bad? Phoebe shyly nodded their head and they began their song as Phoebe took out land's treasures that Helga and her had collected~
Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has ev'rything?
Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Lookin' around here you'd think
(Sure) she's got everything
I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
(You want thingamabobs?I got twenty)
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more
I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see
Wanna see 'em dancin
'Walkin' around on those
(Whad'ya call 'em?) oh - feet
Flippin' your fins you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'
Strollin' along down a(What's that word again?) street
Up where they walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free
Wish I could be
Part of that world
What would I give
If I could live
Outta these waters?
What would I pay
To spend a day
Warm on the sand?
Betcha on land
They understand
Bet they don't reprimand their daughters
Bright young women
Sick o' swimmin'
Ready to stand
And ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions
And get some answers
What's a fire and why does it(What's the word?) burn?
When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love
Love to explore that shore above?
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world
~The crowd of merman and mermaid are silence finally Helga's Father *King of the Ocean* speaks "Now this is nonsense, You will obey these rules young lady." And with they he used his trident and destroyed all her land treasures and Helga ran out crying knowing she lost her hope and strength of going on the land, one day to see her prince. Phoebe ran after her and Helga's Parents looked ashamed and sadden by there's daughter's reaction. ~
Phoebe's POV:
Poor Helga, I knew how she felt, I feel the same way. I can never see Gerald again and she can't see Arnold. Were both doomed and she summed her feelings in a song, I wish I could do that? I gotta find her before, she does something she regrets, but I came after her it was too late. I lost her, all I could do was follow.
Helga's POV:
All I could do was cry. My vision was all blurry and I started to remember how I stated I could never see my love again and the hurt expression in his eyes on his face. I cried even harder and began to sing the ending of my song, not realizing someone was listening.
What would I give
To live where you are?
What would I pay
To stay here beside you?
What would I do to see you
Smiling at me?
Where would we walk?
Where would we run?
If we could stay all day in the sun?
Just you and me
And I could be
Part of your world
I don't know when
I don't know how
But I know something's starting right now
Watch and you'll see
Some day I'll be
Part of your world
~ Tears fell form Helga's eyes and she heard a sound behind her. " Go away Phoebe." Helga muttered. "I'm not Phoebe, I'm here to help you Child. you want to be with your prince. You gotta be human and the Sea witch knows Dark wizardry spells that can help you." Suggested Stinky appearing from the shadows. "No the Sea witch is evil. She's the dark wizard and is heartless. I can't go to her." Refused Helga as Stinky swam closer. "Don't you want to be with your prince? You never be with him as a mermaid, everyone knows that land and Sea can't mix ever." Explained Stinky. Helga glared a him then thought about the wonders of being on the land and being with Arnold. She nodded her her head and replied quietly. "I'll go with you!" Stinky growled and grabbed her hand. "Follow Me!" Stinky dragged Helga in a tight grip towards Lila's cave entrance. In the distance, Phoebe stopped them and followed quietly knowing something was not right.
