2. Episode 2: Little Mermaid

Note: please look up 'In the Land of Twilight' to follow the lyrics

The 2 got into the buggy and the Hatbox got out his ring of keys. "So which world first?" he asked himself.

Marie saw a key glowed. It was a water theme one. "How about that one?" She held it out to him. "First pick first world."

Hatbox smiled. "Little Mermaid it is."

Marie smiled widely. "Sweet." She said.

He put the key in the keyhole again and the buggy went in motion again. This time Marie hanged on tight this time. It went up like before and once they were above the clouds, zoom they went. Marie screamed again. "I'M NOT GOING TO FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS!" she yelled.

Soon they arrived at the destination. It looked like the Caribbean but so far there was almost nothing but the ocean. She didn't see Eric's palace yet.

"Ah Hatbox how exactly are we going to talk to the mermaids let along breath underwater?" she asked. Then the buggy slowed down, turned around and went down slowly into the water. Marie braced herself for some salt water but as soon as she touched it, her locket glowed and she was turned into a mermaid and the buggy turned into a pink seashell. Her tail was a dark purple with a light purple/blue fins and her seashell bra was almost the same color but darker. "Wow." She said but then thought, 'But I always thought it'll be light blue. Oh well.' Soon they were in the ocean and once the seashell landed on the ocean floor Marie got out and breathe with no problem and see with no problem, well if she didn't have glasses.

Hatbox said, "Well this is where I drop you off. Now I advise you to be careful. There's more then one danger here."

Marie said, "I will. But how will I find Atlantica?" Her locket glowed again and it started to show a path.

"There's you answer." He said. He got up back on the shell again. "Well see you later if you survive."

Marie groans at him. "You better be lucky your dead dude." He tipped his hat and off he went.

Marie sighs and looked at the glowed path. "I hope it isn't far and I'm so lucky I know how to swim mermaid style from high school." She started to swim to that direction. As she swam she saw different fish, different plant, and different mammals.

"This is amazing." She said. "More life like then the aquarium back home. More free and clean. Unlike the crap it got from BP."

Soon she arrived at Atlantica. "It's beautiful." She smiled and swam to the gate but was stopped by 2 guards.

"Who are you and state your business."

Marie bowed slightly to them. "Forgive me. I'm new to these oceans and hope to have a place to stay here in Atlantica." It was somewhat a lie but in truth she didn't know how it was going to take to find the first scout. Marie kind of figured it was going to take a couple of days or weeks.

One of the guards said, "We will take you to King Triton. He will help you finding a place here and to be familiar with these waters."

Marie said, "Thank you."

The 3 swam to the throne room and there sitting on his shell-theme throne was King Triton. 'This is amazing.' She thought. The guards bowed to him. "King Triton, we have a wonderer here. She said she is new to Atlantica and hope to have a home here."

Triton raised his hand and said, "Thank you. You're dismissed."

Once the 2 guards left it were just the 2 of them. King Triton asked, "May I ask for you name?"

Marie bowed and said, "My name is Ariel but I ask my friends to call me Marie to end confusion. Do forgive me for my intrusion."

Triton said, "It's alright. You're welcome to stay here as long as you want but tell me what's your REAL reason why you're here?"

Marie gulped, as she looked at him afraid. "With all due respect your highness, I don't think I'm allowed to tell you. At least I wasn't instructed to tell anyone."

Triton looked at her suspicious as he grabbed his chin. "You will tell me in time right?" he asked.

Marie said, "Unless I am told differently."

Then a crab came through in the throne room. He went to the king. "King Triton, great news. I have assembled a perfect concert for your daughters to be in."

King Triton turned to him. "That's wonderful Sebastian. All of them singing."

Then Sebastian said, "Well there's one minor problem. We're one singer short. But I am holding auditions to find another singer. She doesn't have to have a strong voice like your girls but just perfect enough that isn't high or low."

Then Marie stepped in. "Umm do forgive me for interrupting, but maybe I can help. I'm a good singer, more or less, and maybe I'm someone you need."

Sebastian swam to her and asked, "And may I ask is who are you?"

Marie smiled. "I'm Ariel but my friends call me Marie."

The crab thought of what he can do. "Well how about we go to the music room and King Triton will decided if you can sing or not?"

Triton said, "Sounds like a great idea."

Marie smiled and nodded. The 3 made their way to the music room and Sebastian went to the piano. "Is there a certain piece you want me to play?"

Marie grew a bit worried. "I know some music but I don't think it's the one you know. Mind if you play the piece you has for the concert?"

The crab nodded. He gave her a sheet of music and started to play. As the music flowed, Marie did her best to sing the song, it wasn't the one she heard in the movie so she figured that this one wouldn't be played, but it was a nice start. After she was done Sebastian clapped his claws. "That was perfect Marie. Just perfect. What do you think your majesty?"

King Triton smiled since he was impressed as well. "I have to agree. It's perfect for the song. Tell me Marie, who taught you to sing?"

Marie blushed. "I just sing along and train my throat for the perfect tempo. Though admittedly I'm not very good with high notes."

Sebastian said, "It doesn't matter, you are perfect for the part. You think you can show up this afternoon for practice?"

Marie smiled widely and nodded. "Of course."

Then King Triton put his hand on her shoulder. "Then let me introduce my daughters. Also I think we have a spare bedroom for you to stay."

Marie said, "That's wonderful sire."

They made it to the princess powder room where all of them were at their mirrors doing their hair, make-up, or even try on new crown, for the most part. Triton said to them, "Girls," All of them turn to him and saw Marie. "This is Marie, she's going to be staying with us for a while. Marie these are my daughters: Attina, Aquata, Arista, Adrina, Adella, Alana and my youngest daughter Ariel." Attina has an orange tail and a matching seashell bikini top. She has green eyes and wears her light brown hair in an up-do with a thorny orange crown. Aquata has a blue tail and a matching seashell bikini top. She has brown eyes and wears her brown hair in a ponytail with white pearl decorations. Arista has a red tail and a matching seashell bikini top. She has ice blue eyes and wears her pale blonde hair in a sloppy ponytail with dark pink decorations. Adrina has a purple tail and a magenta seashell bikini top. She has hazel eyes and wears her blonde hair in a bun topped with a pink shell decoration. Adella has a chartreuse yellow tail and a chartreuse green seashell bikini top. She has teal eyes and wears her dark brown hair in a ponytail with golden pearl decorations. Alana has a pink tail and a purple seashell bikini top. She has violet eyes and wears her black hair with a small pink crown. And lastly, Ariel has red hair, blue eyes, a green tail and a purple top.

Marie said, "It's nice to meet all of you princesses."

Soon she was swarm by them and was asked many questions: "Where are you from?" "How old are you?" "What's you're favorite color?" "Have you ever thought of a makeover?" Just one right after the other.

King Triton said, "I'll leave you girls alone." Then he left.

Finally Ariel got between Marie and her sisters. "Hold on girls, she just got here. I'm sure she just want to rest for a bit right?" she asked.

Marie smiled remembering how kind Ariel was in the film. "Yes, oh and Sebastian has a concert ready for us. Though he was one short he asked me to join."

Adella said, "That's wonderful. How good of a singer are you?"

Marie shrugged her shoulders. "Depending on the piece really. Though I personally don't think it's perfect."

Alana said, "It has to be if he asked you to join us."

Ariel said, "Well let me show you to your room." Marie and Ariel let the girls and soon they arrived in a room. "Here we are. This will be your room."

Marie said, "Thank you Ariel."

Ariel asked, "By the way, why Marie?"

Marie said, "My first name is Ariel like yours but I know a couple others and to end confusion they call me Marie. I mean it'll get ridiculous when you hear Ariel 1, 2, & 3."

The 2 laugh. "True that." Said Ariel. The 2 sat on the bed. "So where are you from?" she asked.

Marie thought of a good 'answer'. "Well I really don't know how to describe it. It's not really lively as Atlantica, mostly cause we don't have a king. Let's just say, where I'm from has a lot of history yet a lot more room for history to be made."

Ariel asked, "A riddle well is it near where humans live?"

Marie answered, "More or less."

Ariel lay back on the bed. "I hope one day I see one. I've been collecting their things for a while now."

Marie smiled remembering her grotto. "Maybe I see some of your collection."

Ariel asked, "How about tonight?"

Marie nodded. "Okay."

Ariel smiled widely. "Great. I'll even introduced you to Scuttle and Flounder, but you mustn't tell father."

Marie held her hand up. "I promise." The 2 hugged each other giggling.

Soon days passed and thanks to Ariel, Marie got familiar with Atlantica. She even took her exploring sunken ships, showing Marie her collection of human things, exploring the castle, introduced her to Flounder and Scuttle, and every afternoon the girls would practice for the concert. Every time they sing it was perfect, though most of the time Marie had to cover Ariel when she is late so the sessions.

It wasn't long until it was time for the concert. The girls were ready and Marie noticed Ariel was gone again. 'I hope she'll make it in time.' She thought. She soon hear cheering meaning King Triton arrived as well as Sebastian.

He said, ''I can't wait for what the girls have done''.

Sebastian nodded. ''Yes, your Majesty. Your girls will make you proud today, they're all. But trust me your highness, your girls will throw a spectacular performance, they will make you proud!''

The King laughed a little. ''Yes, especially my little Ariel.'' Triton whispered. Sebastian nodded.

''Yes, she is very talented, your Majesty with the most beautiful voice.'' he bowed and walked out. "If she'd actually show up for rehearsals for once in a while" He muttered to himself.

The girls got into placed and waiting for their time to sing.

Once the music started it was time. Four clams showed up. 3 for the daughters and one for Marie and the girls started to sing. "Ah, we are the daughters/friend of Triton. Great father/king who loves us and named us well." The girls sat up from their shells and they pointed to Triton who was there proud.

"Aquata…." Aquata sang her notes as her head piece opened into a feather hat.

"Adrina…." She did her notes and she has bog green pomp-pomps with her.

"Arista…" Her's were matching shrimps.

"Atina…" Her's was a jellyfish.

"Adella…Allana." Marie's was a special one but didn't get a headpiece or anything special. Then all of them gathered around to introduce Ariel. 'Please be here please be here.' Marie thought.

"And then there's the youngest in her musical debut. Our seventh little sister, we're presenting her to you. To sing a song Sebastian wrote. Her voice is like a bell. She's out sister, Ari-*Gasp*" Marie looked scared as there was no one in the shell. She looked at Triton and he was pissed. "ARIEL!" He yelled and his triton glowed gold.

Marie face-palmed. "Oh no." she muttered.

Lucky the band did a plan B until Ariel get's home. Since she wasn't there the girls did their solos so the concert won't be a total waste. Soon it was Marie's turn. Luckily for her it was a song she knows, taught Sebastian how to play it, and something that won't hurt her throat. 'You owe me big Ariel.' She thought. It was suppose to be a duet but since Ariel isn't there, she has to do this on her own.

Lights were on her, as she took a breath and sang. "In the land of Twilight under the moon, we dance for the idiots."

Dolphins started to dance around her. "Ring around the roses jump to the moon, we sing with the castanets."

Then she was being showered by flowers from the dolphins as the daughters sang with her. "Ring around the twilight under the moon, we dance for the idiots/I will sing for crescent moon, dancing with the castanets. Ring around the roses, jump to the moon, we sing with the castanets/As the end will come so soon in the land of Twilight."

Then all sang together. "I will sing for the crescent moon dancing with the castanets. Ring around the roses, jump to the moon, we sing with the castanets/As the end will come so soon in the land of Twilight."

Then all of the girls, not Marie got their ribbons and started to dance/swim around her as the music solo went on. "I will sing for crescent moon, dancing with the castanets. As the end will come so soon, in the land of Twilight."

The daughters ditched the ribbons as stood next to Marie as they sang the next part. "Hight and loud the sound of the bell of the Twilight ringing/Now you are watching us outside the circle wanna be in good company. All long it rings, the bells of the Twilight/Boy but you are lonely dance with nobody runaway child."

Then together, "To your hiding place."

Then the lights the lights dimmed down and the girls quickly put on their skirts. "la la la lala la la la lalala lala la la la. Lalalala la la la lala la, lala lala la la. La la la, la lala la, la, la la. Lalalala la la la lala la, la lala la lalalala. La la la la la lala la , la la lalalalala. Lalalala la la la lala la, la lala la la. La la la la la la la, lala lala la."

Once the light was back on they started singing again. "I will sing for crescent moon, dancing with the castanet/lalalalala la la lala la, la lala la lala lala."

They continue to dance for the rest of the song. "As the end will come so soon, in the land of Twilight/lalalala la la la lala la, la lala la lalala la."

Then the music started to die down and the girls slowed down their dancing to plain swimming. "La la la lala la la la lalala lala la la la. Lalalala la la la lala la, lala lala la la. La la la, la lala la, la la la. Lalalala la la lalala la, la lala la lalalala, la la la la la lala la, la la lalalalala. Lalalala la la la lala la, la lala la la. La la la la la la la, lala lala la."

Once the song was over, the crowd started to clap and cheer at the girls and Marie.

Then the concert was over she waited outside for Ariel with her arms crossed. Soon she saw her and Flounder swimming to the palace. Ariel stopped in front of Marie.

"How bad am I in trouble?" she asked.

Marie said, "Don't mention Scuttle, and human items and maybe he'll go easy on you."

Ariel frown. "Oh boy. I know I made daddy mad sometimes but I think I overdid it this time." She said.

Flounder asked, "How bad was it?"

Marie said, "Just about to blow up the place." Marie uncrossed her arms. "I'll go with you. Maybe he can ease up on the yelling if I'm there."

Ariel smiled. "Thanks Marie. Oh how did your solo go?" she asked as they swim.

"It was really good but it was suppose to be a duet." She said.

Ariel said, "Sorry. Well at least you sung by yourself for the first time."

Marie giggled and said, "Yeah but that's not going to happen again anytime soon."

They soon arrived at the throne room where King Triton and Sebastian were waiting for them. As soon as they got close enough it started. King Triton said, "I just don't know what to do you young lady."

Ariel tried to explain. "Daddy I just forgot. I just_"

Triton interrupted, "As a result of your careless Behavior_"

But then he was interrupted by the crab. "Careless, reckless, behavior_"

Triton tried to talk again. "The entire celebration was_"

Then Sebastian yelled, "Ruined! That's all, completely destroyed! The mist important merpeople were there, the most important! You're just lucky we had a plan B with Marie in order to fix this mess!" Then he started to get dramatic. "Now thanks to you I'm the laughing-stock of the entire kingdom!"

Flounder had enough and swam to them. "It wasn't her fault!" He yelled then he grew scared at Triton. ''Um, first, uh, a shark chases, yeah and we tried to, but we couldn't''. Sebastian and King Triton exchanged arched eyebrows. The king's hand supported his head. ''And it was and we whoa'' he breathed a sigh of relief. ''And then we were safe and then this seagull came and he was like this is this and that is that and-''.

That got Triton's attention and Marie face palmed. Triton asked, "Seagull?" Flounder covered his mouth and hid behind Ariel in her hair. Ariel and Marie glared at him.

Triton asked, "You went to the surface again haven't you?"

Ariel said nervously, "Nothing happed."

Triton wasn't buying it. "Ariel, how many more time we must go through this? You could have been seen by one of those barbarians, by…by one of those humans."

Ariel yelled, "Daddy they're not barbarians!"

Triton cried, "They're dangerous. You think I want to see my youngest daughter snared by one of those fish hooks?"

Marie thought, 'All she'll get is a hook stuck in the mouth, that happened to me once at the beach.' Marie said, "King Triton, not all humans are dangerous."

Triton yelled at her, "This is between me and Ariel. In fact I'm surprise you would cover for her during the practices."

Marie said, "Last time I saw Ariel was hours before the concert."

Ariel yelled at her father. "I'm 16 years old. I'm not a child and don't blame Marie for this. She didn't know I wasn't going to be there."

Triton scolded. "Don't use that tone of voice with me young lady."

Ariel tried to speak. "But_"

"As ling as you live under my ocean you will obey my rules!"

"Buy if you just listen!"

"NOT ANOTHER WORD AND I NEVER, EVER WANT TO HEAR YOU GOING UP TO THE SERFACE AGAIN. IS THAT CLEAR?!" he yelled.

Ariel started to quiver her chin and swam away. Marie turned to Triton. "Remember you asked me what was my real reason I was here?"

King Triton said, "I have no time for that. Tell me another time."

Marie shook her head and swam after Ariel.

Sebastian said, ''Humf, teenagers, dey think dey know everything, you give them their way, dey swim all over you''.

''Do you...um...think I was too...hard on them?'', King Triton peered at Sebastian.

Sebastian puffed up his chest. ''Definitely not. Why, if they were my own daughters, I'd show them who was boss'' Sebastian folded his arms, nodding at his 'speech'. ''None of this...'', he flitted in the air, waving his pincers, ''flitting to the surface and other such nonsense.'' The King was thoughtful for a moment. ''No, sire I'd keep her under tight control.'' The King tugged at the ends of his beard in thought, he smiled as an idea hit him. ''Your absolutely right Sebastian!''

''Of course!'' Sebastian said simply.

''They needs constant supervision''

Sebastian nodded his head and crossed his arms. ''Constant'' he repeated.

''Someone to watch over them, someone to keep them out of trouble'' Triton continued.

''All the time'',

''And you!'' Triton jabbed a light finger at Sebastian.

''Are just the crab to do it!''

Sebastian's eyes widened in horror and he shrunk away, petrified.

He swam away muttering himself how his life sucked now. ''Why do I get myself into these types of situations, I should be given some sympathy after that disaster, not tagging along after some head-strong teenagers!'' Sebastian stopped his self-pity and looked to his right, he caught sight of Ariel and Marie with a pouch in Ariel's hand, with Flounder right beside them. They looked left and right and swam off. "Hm...what are those 3 up to?'' he asked himself as he glided after the two. The 3 glided through the ocean, with Sebastian panting profusely. The crab lay on a rock, panting heavily. They swam toward a boulder. Ariel moved it easily and Flounde and Marie slipped inside as Ariel looked left and right, as if there was a secret waiting in there.

''What're they...?'' Sebastian trailed off. Ariel slipped inside herself and Sebastian hastily dashed inside, through his rear tail end got stuck. Sebastian grunted as he tried to get himself free, he grabbed hold of a plant and pulled himself. He bounced on the ground, like a pebble thrown on a river and crashed into an hourglass. He rubbed his head and looked up in amazement. All around him was a whole collection of items. From pitchers to glass cups, plates, crockery along with other items, not recognized in the underwater city, they all glistened with cleanliness. Ariel lay on a rock, twisting the fork in her hands.

''Ariel are you okay?'' Flounder asked sadly.

Marie said, "Sorry if I made things worst."

Sebastian covered his mouth in horror.' 'If only I could make him understand, I just don't see things the way he does'', Ariel replied sadly. ''I don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things...'', Ariel turned to her friends. ''Could be bad." She said.

''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 everything?" She and Marie started to look around the trove.

"Look at this trove Treasures unknown. How many wonders can one cavern withhold? Lookin' around here you'd think. Sure she's got everything." She started to show the watches and glasses.

"I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty. I've got whozits and whatzits galore. You want thingamabobs? I got twenty." Ariel picked up a case filled with tools and screws.

"But who cares? No big deal. I want more." Ariel leaned against a rock and looked up, expectantly.

"I wanna be where the people are. Wanna see 'em dancin'. Walkin' around on those (Whad'ya call 'em?)" Flounder waved his fins suggestively. "oh – feet." Ariel playfully pulled them.

"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." She started to move her hips from side to side like a fancy lady then started to swim up to the hole on the roof where some sunlight was coming though.

"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." Sebastian looked around and got scared from his reflection off a shiny object. Then Ariel lay on the floor thinking it as the beach. Flounder buried himself in the sand. Marie couldn't help but smile.

"What would I give? If I could live outta these waters? What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand?" Then she sat up and thought for a moment. "Betcha on land they understand. Bet they don't reprimand their daughter."

Marie thought, 'If only you meet mine.'

"Bright young women. Sick o' swimmin'. Ready to stand." She went to a book, opened to a few pages ad then went to a picture of a man and a flaming candle.

"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?"

Then she swam to the whole and stick out her hand reaching for something. " Wouldn't I love. Love to explore that shore above? Out of the sea, wish I could maybe...just be part of that world''

Ariel, Marie and Flounder looked up at the moonlight as a case fell down the rocks, acting like steps, as the case shattered into fragments and Sebastian fell out. He pulled on a piece of fabric, allowing the other bits and tidbits to fall along with him. Sebastian landed on the ground, atop an accordion, with a pipe in his mouth, looking very annoyed. Flounder hid in a knight's helmet and Ariel and Marie gasped.

''Sebastian'' Ariel started. Sebastian continued to stare at him and spat out the smoking pipe.

"Ariel…Marie, what're you, how could you, what is all this?'' he angrily shook off a string of pearls from his leg.

''It's um, just our...collection'' She finished nervously Flounder hid behind her.

Marie said, "Just some harmless nick-knacks."

''Oh, really?'' Sebastian plastered a grin on his face and observed a fish hook. ''Oh, I see, your collection'' he nodded his head in mock understanding. ''Hm...IF YOUR FATHER KNEW ABOUT THIS PLACE HE'S-''

''Your not gonna tell him are you?'' Flounder swam up to Sebastian.

''Please Sebastian, he would never understand." Ariel pleaded.

Marie said, "He's too much of a hard head to listen to us"

Sebastian smiled. "Ariel and Marie, you're under a lot of pressure down here'' he scuttled over to Ariel and took her hand. ''Come with me, I'll take you 2 home.'' he said as he dragged Ariel's hand along with him. ''And I'll get you something warm to"

Ariel looked up at the moonlight and saw an overshadow loom over the bright, illuminating moon. ''What do you suppose...'' she trailed off in search of the large overshadow. Marie looked up and saw it too.

"Ariel? Marie?'' Sebastian squeaked. Ariel and Marie darted out of the cove and swam up to the surface.

Ariel and Marie paddled up to the surface, despite the wavering calls from Sebastian. Ariel's and Marie's heads slowly emerged from the ocean's waters. She lifted his damp fringe from his eyes and silently stared at the large human ship. Marie fixed her glasses and saw the same. She took in its wooden architecture and its breath-taking length. Her blue eyes widened in amazement as he saw various specks of bright color explode in the air.

''Wow'' she whispered in amazement. They contrasted with the dark, moonlit sky perfectly. Ariel giggled happily as the specks of color continued to explode. "What is that?"

Marie said, "That's a big ship and the flowers in the sky are fire-works."

Flounder came up beside the merman and in turn stared at the ship and fireworks in wonder and awe.

Sebastian emerged from the ocean shortly thereafter. "Ariel Marie, what're you-'' he started as he slowly turned and jumped. ''Jumping jellyfish'' he squeaked as he placed both hands on his head. He gave a sideways glance toward the young princess,-who hadn't noticed him- and Marie who began to dive in out of the ocean, toward the large vessel. ''Ariel, Marie!'' Sebastian helplessly called the merman's name, but to no avail. ''Please, come back!'' he cried as the waves currents carried him off.

The 2 swam closer to the large vessel and slowly peeped their head through one of the gaps. They smiled as they saw the ship's crew make various traditional sea music and dance about the ship's deck, especially Ariel. He saw a snow-white cat hop about, elegantly. The mermaids looked left and right and saw them all clap their hands and tap dance. The dog barked then froze in the air, putting his nose upward and sniffed. He walked and began to go in the direction of where the 2 were hiding. Ariel gasped and hid behind a solid piece of the ship but Marie started to pet the dog. Ariel slowly peeked his head through, to come face to face with the shabby dog. The dog licked Ariel's face. Ariel giggled and stopped when he heard a man's voice.

''Max, come here boy." The dog turned round and bounded off to his owner. Ariel slowly turned back and looked again, smiling, as she rubbed her cheek. Marie said, "That's a dog. You're very lucky he's friendly." ''Come here Max, you want to play a game?'' the dog stopped and jumped up to lick his owner's cheek. The young man smiled and laughed. ''Good boy Max'' she said softly. Ariel found herself staring at the handsome young sailor. His black hair, his gleaming azure eyes, his fair skin, his smile.

Marie started to tease. "Someone's in love." She got nudged at by Ariel.

''Hey there kid!'' said a voice

Ariel whipped round and caught sight of the goofy seagull. ''What a show, eh?'' he cried, still in the air.

''Scuttle, be quiet they'll hear you'' Ariel said in a hushed voice, as she swatted at the seagull. '

'Oh, I got ya, I got ya'' he lowered himself to be level with Ariel. ''We're intrepidatious'', he said. ''WE'RE OUT TO DISCOVER'' Marie clamped Scuttle's orange beak with her hand.

''I've never seen a human, this close before'' Ariel mused, as she continues to watch the young sailor, play a silver flute as his dog pranced about gracefully. Ariel crossed her arms and laid her head on them. She sighed. ''Oh, he's very handsome, isn't she?''

Scuttle scratched his neck. ''Oh, I don't know, he looks kinda furry and wild to me'' Scuttle said looking at the bog. Ariel chuckled and rolled her eyes. ''Not that one'' she grabbed Scuttle's face and turned him toward the prince. ''The one playing the snarfblatt."

Marie shook her head. 'It's a flute.' She thought.

An elderly man abruptly came onto the deck and straightened out his tailcoat. "Silence, silence'' he waltzed over to the black-haired sailor. ''It is now my honor and privilege, to present our esteemed Prince Eric with a very special, very expensive, very large, birthday present." he said, gesturing to the large covered object, complete with a red ribbon.

''Aha, Grimsby," Eric raised a dark eyebrow. ''You old beanpole, you shouldn't have." Eric smiled as she thumped Grimsby on the back.

Grimsby nearly fell over and composed himself. He smirked. ''I know," he drawled. ''Happy birthday Eric."

One of the crew men whipped off the sheet to reveal...a gaudy looking statue of the Prince Eric, in armor with a sword drown out.

The legit Eric raised an unimpressed eyebrow, despite the impressed ''oohs and aah's'' from the background while Max growled at it.

''Oh, gee Grim," Eric cleared his throat and scratched the back of his neck, ''It's uh, it's um..r-really something," he decided to go with that, as to not hurt the feelings of his right-hand man.

''Yes, I polished it myself." Grimsby mused, as he held a bronze telescope. ''Of course it would have been an excellent wedding present." he said frowning.

Eric laughed. ''Oh, come on, don't start." he said grabbing the telescope from Grimsby. At the sounds of Eric's footsteps, Scuttle, Marie and Ariel remained out of sight. ''Your not still sore because I didn't fall for the Princess of Glower-rave are you?" he briefly looked through the telescope and tossed it back to Grimsby.

Grimsby juggled it somewhat before catching it. ''Oh, Eric it isn't me alone, the entire kingdom wants to see you, happily settled down, with the right girl."

Eric sat on the edge of the ship, perfectly balanced. ''The perfect girl, she's out there somewhere, I just haven't found her yet''. Eric said quietly.

Ariel looked up slowly, hopefully and smiled. Marie smiled at Ariel seeing how happy she is.

''Perhaps you haven't been looking." Grimsby stated.

''Oh believe me Grim, when I find her, I'll know, without a doubt." Eric said slowly getting up from the rails. ''It'll just, bam hit me, like lightning." Eric looked up dreamily, and then turned round, at the sound of thunder and crackles.

Marie whispered to Ariel, "I think he jinxed himself."

''Hurricane a coming!'' cried the watchman of the ship. Light pats of rain started to fall from the dark, gloomy sky, which had replaced the calm evening night. ''Stand fast, secure the rigging!''

Eric's cyan blue eyes widened as he ran to join his fellow crew. Eric picked up a bundle of rope, as beams of lightning rumbled in the sky, its thunderous cried shook the ocean. The crew all cried as they struggled to pull the ship to safety, Max barked, sensing danger.

Flounder and Sebastian floated in the ocean, as a wave toppled over them both. Ariel and Marie looked left and right and held on to one of the rafts, tightly.

''Whoa, the wind hers all of a sudden on the move here!'' Scuttle cried over the thunderous roars as he struggled to grab a hold of one of the ropes. ''Oh! Ariel! Marie!'' The heavy wind had whisked Scuttle away.

Marie looked at the locked. "If it needs to work please work now." But nothing. "Oh come on you peace of junk!"

The ship wasn't under control, the strong currents of the sea trusted the ship, to and fro. Eric grabbed a hold of the steerage and struggled to attain control. Eric looked up at the roaring sky as Ariel and Marie tried to hold fast onto the ropes as they were thrown into the ocean's sea.

They swam underneath the ship and resurfaced again, and watched in horror as the lightning ignited the ship's sails, setting the whole ship on fire. They withdrew back in fear as the ship sundered densely into the ocean's waters. Eric looked up. ''Look out!'' The ship crashed and all members of the crew were thrown overboard, all except Max. The ponderous statue also fell overboard, sinking, sinking...until out of sight. Grimbsy struggled to swim up to the surface.

''Grim, Hang on!'' Eric grabbed Grimsby by the collar and pulled him up to one of the lifeboats, where the rest of the crew were perched. Max barked as flickers of bright orange and red flames surrounded him. Eric narrowed his eyes, his voice thickened, as if in tears. ''Max!'' he called.

Eric dived into the ocean and went to the other side and climbed up the ship before swinging his legs up on the rails and landing on the deck. Eric looked up, petrified as the ship's sail post cracked and snapped and the ship's sails ignited in flames. Eric dived just in time before the post could come down on him. The flames licked and flickered as they surrounded him and Max. Max stayed perched atop one of the high points of the ship.

''Jump Max!'' Eric held out her arms and called the dog's name. He looked left and right and jumped into Eric's arms and Max licked Eric's cheek. Eric held on to him tightly and turned round, running. Eric panted as he foot stepped onto the brittle floorboards, getting him foot stuck as he let go of Max who was thrown into the sea.

Grimsby caught Max and wrapped him up in a blue blanket, drying him off. Erica struggled to get her boot out of the floorboards. At the end of the ship, was a barrel of gasoline, the flames, they licked and flickered...until...it exploded.

The ship exploded in clouds of orange and red, ashes fell all around like rain at Texas. The crew watched in horror as the ship toppled over. Ariel's eyes widened and she swam toward the overturning vessel leaving Marie behind. Marie's locket glowed flickering blue and she gasp.

Ariel dived into the ocean in a flurry of blue and bubbles with a splurge of water. Ariel dodged the balls of fire and searched left and right until she caught sight of Eric clinging on for dear life on a piece of driftwood, though he was unconscious. Ariel watched as he slipped into the ocean's icy waters. Without a second thought, Ariel dived in after him. She put her arms around him and effortlessly pulled him up to newfound oxygen. The fireworks flickered in bright various shades of sapphire, crimson and tangerine.

Ariel brought Erica to shore, still unconscious. The ocean's seas lapped against the rocks calmly. The sky was cloudless and the sun made the beach look more landed beside the unconscious human. ''Is he...dead?'' Ariel gulped. Scuttle opened one of Eric's eyes, and gently closed them. ''It's hard to say'' he replied, sadly. Slow, steady breaths omitted from Eric's mouth.' 'No, look, he's breathing." Ariel said softly. Ariel tucked a strand of silky black hair behind his ear. ''He's so beautiful." She said quietly. Ariel tilted his head toward him. Ariel started to sing to him. "What would I give to live where you are? What would I pay to stay here beside you? What would I do just to see you smiling at me?" The waves had washed Flounder, Marie and Sebastian up on the beach. Sebastian lifted his head, wearily, and widened his eyes in horror at Ariel being so close to a human, singing even. Marie closed his mouth.

"Where would we walk? Where would we run? If we could stay all day in the sun? Lounging around until the day is all done just you and me and I could be part of your world." Eric slowly opened his eyes and his eyes locked with Ariel's ones as he took her hand in his, the radiant sun shone on the young princess, singing to him. Ariel let go and disappeared from Eric's sight as Max came bounding down the beach and barking for his owner profusely. Max caught sight of Ariel's teal tail as she dived back into the ocean and he started to bark. Grimsby approached and helped Erica up to her feet.

''Eric! Oh Eric. You really do delight in these sadistic strains on my blood pressure, don't you?'' Grimsby smiled in relief, to see that the prince was unharmed. Ericalooked out to sea, dreamily.

''A girl, rescued me...she was..singing, she had the most...beautiful voice." Eric smiled at the memory. Eric fell in a state of weakness and Grimsby caught him. ''Ah, Eric. I think you've swallowed a bit too much seawater.'' he draped Eric's arm around his neck to support him.

''Off we go. Come on Max." Eric looked out to sea once again as Max lay in the sea, barking as if expecting something. Ariel, Marie, Sebastian and Flounder stayed concealed behind some rocks. Ariel watched intently at the retreating humans.

''We just gotta forget this whole thing ever happened." Sebastian suggested, perched atop Flounder's head.' 'The sea king will never, you won't tell him, I won't tell him. I will stay in one piece." Sebastian nodded his head toward Flounder, Marie and Ariel making sure they understood.

Marie looked at her locket. "Could it be?"

Flounder asked, "What is it?"

Marie said, "I'll tell you later."

Ariel continued to look at the young prince; she smiled and began to sing again. "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." As she sang the last note waves appear behind her giving her, her signature pose.

After she sang 2 spies popped out. Marie saw her locket was glowing purple and looked around but saw nothing. This time Sebastian noticed. "Alright when we get back I need some answers about hat locket of yours."

Marie sigh. "Alright. But to tell Triton will by up to you." She looked at Ariel. "And it's best if she doesn't know for the time being."

Ariel watched the young prince be escorted back to safety.

Deep in her cave, Ursula watched in amusement and triumph at her crystal ball, depicting an infatuated Ariel, perched atop one of the rocks in the ocean, close to the beach.

''Oh no, no, no, no, no, no. I can't stand it, it's too easy!'' Ursula curled her fists in the air. ''The child, is in love with a human. And not just any human, a prince for crying out loud!''

Ursula cackled madly, her head down and shoulders shaking, she raised her head, her white hair gone flopping on her fore-head. ''Her daddy will love that," She said sarcastically. "King Triton's headstrong, lovesick daughter would make a charming addition to my little garden."

Ursula wickedly looked at her 'garden'. Which consisted of shriveled, derelict grub-like creatures, as they cowered in fear at the sight of their capture as she cackled, her cackle echoed through the cave's walls. Then she remembered Marie. "Oh and that wanna-be mermaid Marie. I think I can handle her. She doesn't know the first thing about being a fighter let alone how to handle me. She'll be a perfect addition for my spell ingredients. All I need are her eyes, heart, and to spice things up, her tongue."

Back within the palace, in the sister's and Marie's dressing room, they called after their lingering sister. ''Ariel, time to come out, you've been there all morning!'' one called out.

Ariel swam from behind the seaweed curtain, humming to herself.

She sat down and began to fix her hair. "What is with him lately?" asked another, as the rest of the girls gathered round their younger sister. Marie just smiled at Ariel's happiness. "For being born first I'm not surprise you have had that look before."

Ariel plucked a flower, tipped with pink and lightly bumped into her dad. ''Oh, morning daddy." Ariel hummed again and placed the flower in her father's white hair. The king smiled, pleased, but was still confused. Ariel swam off, half humming, half singing. The king touched one of the petals with care and smiled again.

''Oh, she's got it bad." Said the oldest leaning against their door-frame and crossed her arms.

''What? What has she got?'' King Triton looked from one daughter to the other.

''Isn't it obvious daddy? Ariel's in love." One stated.

The king carefully took the flower in his hands. ''Ariel in love?''

Sebastian began to pace up and down on a rock, uneasy.

''So far, so good. I don't think the king knows. But it will not be easy keeping something like this a secret for so long." Sebastian, all the while, ignored the buttercup yellow petals that fell from above him, Ariel sat on a rock, her head resting on her hand, plucking the petals off of a flower.''

''He loves me...''Ariel frowned, ''Hmmm, he loves me not...he loves me! I knew it!'' Ariel clutched the last petal to his chest, grinning. Sebastian scuttled over to the infatuated mermaid.

''Ariel, stop talking crazy!'' he yelled

Ariel sat up. ''I gotta see him, tonight, Scuttle knows where he lives!''

Ariel curled his fists in determination. Ariel swam forward and Sebastian pulled on his tail. ''Ariel-please will you get your head out of the clouds and back in the water where it belongs?''

Ariel ignored the crab hanging on to her tail fin and continued to make plans to see the prince. ''I'll swim up to her castle. Then Flounder will swim around to get his attention, and then with Marie-''

Ariel swam hither and thither, making plans here and there, whilst Sebastian's pincers slipped off of Ariel's tail fin and he did a somersault as he did. He puffed up his chest.

''Down here is your home! Ariel, listen to me.'' He scrambled after the fleeting merman. ''The human world-it's a mess." he grinned as Ariel sat perched on the rock. ''Life under the sea is better than anything they got up there." he continued.

He outstretched his arms and began to sing a lesson to the mermaid, "The seaweed is always greener 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 could you be lookin' for?"

Then he started to dance. "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're devotin' full time to floatin' Under the sea." Soon others joined.

"Down here all the fish is happy." He sang with a rayfish as they observed a dolphin somersault before swimming off. "As off through the waves they roll. The fish on the land ain't happy."

Ariel observed a sullen, gloomy blue fish stuck in a clear bubble. She looked at it pitifully and thought for a while.

"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 gets hungry." Sebastian popped the bubble with the tip of his pincer, as the sullen fish sang, "Guess who's gon' be on the plate?"

"Oh no, Under the sea Under the sea. Nobody beat us"

Ariel ran her fingers through soft, flowers, only for them to be seahorses, as they swam playfully around the mermaid. "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, Eeen 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."

Soon more came to sing and play music. "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, Tthe 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."

As it kept on going Flounder and Marie came by and saw the commotion. 'Aw man. This is my favorite song.' Thought Marie. They found Ariel Alone and Flounder whispered in her ear that there is a surprise. The 3 of them left and the others didn't even noticed it at all.

"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 hereknows how to jam here. Under the sea. Each little slug here, cuttin' a rug here. Under the sea. Each little snail here, knows 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"

Sebastian finished his finale and grinned. ''Ariel?'' Sebastian opened one eye and found that the rock had no red-haired mermaid perched on top, rather nothing at all. Sebastian sighed heavily as al the fish swam off.

''Ariel? Ariel? Oh...somebody's got to nail that girl's fins to the floor''

''Sebastian?'' A panting seahorse with a purple frilly neck accessory came swimming up to Sebastian in a hurry.

''Sebastian, I've been looking all over for you. I've got an urgent message from the sea king." He said.

Sebastian's dull face turned to one of fear. ''The sea king?'' The anxious seahorse tugged at one of Sebastian's claws.

''He wants to see you right away..uh..uh something about...Ariel!'' The seahorse swam off in a flurry.

Sebastian bit his lip and gulped. ''She knows!'' he whispered.

In the palace room, Triton looked at the flower, smiling, and chuckled.

''Now...lets see...oh, who could the lucky merman be? Oh I hope he's pretty, well as long as he loves my Ariel as much as she loves him...'' he sighed and noticed a trembling Sebastian, though she hadn't noticed his trembling.

''Oh, Sebastian, come on in." Triton coughed roughly and thrust the flower behind him back. Sebastian breathed heavily and looked left and right, anxiously. ''I musn't overreact, I must remain calm." he thought to himself.

''Yes." he squeaked, his voice, higher than normal,''...yes your Majesty?''

''Now, Sebastian, I'm concerned about Ariel. Have you noticed she's been acting...peculiar lately?'' he nonchalantly twisted his triton with his index and thumb.

Sebastian tried to chance for dumb insolence. He scratched his head and looked around.

''Peculiar?'' he asked.

''You know, moaning about, daydreaming, singing to herself...you haven't noticed, hmm?'' the king peered over at the crab questioningly.

Sebastian choked up and raised a pincer.

''Oh,well,I-''

''Sebastian...'' started Triton

''Hmm?'' Sebastian forced a smile and folded his claws.

The king beckoned a finger. Sebastian scrambled upward toward the queen.

''I know you've been keeping something from me...''

Sebastian gulped. ''Keeping...something?'' he forced a wide smile.

''About Ariel?'' the king had a slight smirk playing about his lips.

Sebastian knees started shaking, he felt as if they would buckle over, or snap off and start scrambling for themselves. He covered them. Sebastian chanced again for dumb insolence.

''About Ariel?'' Sebastian knew in his head that the guy owed him once he was out of it.

The king brought her triton closer, the points gleaming. ''In love?'' Triton suggested. Sebastian whimpered ands bit his lip, perspiration breaking out uncontrollably of his skin. Sebastian went on his knees and cried.

''I tried to stop the, sire. I told Ariel to stay away from humans-they are bad, they are trouble, and then Marie told me she's really a human and Ariel saved one-''

''Humans?'' Triton got up from his throne, his triton glowing embers as she glared at Sebastian. "What about humans and Marie being one?" Sebastian tried to sneak away but was soon grabbed by him. "Tell me everything about both Ariel and Marie." Sebastian gulped

Ariel, Maria and Flounder enter they're trove again. ''Flounder, Marie why can't you just tell me what this is about?'', Ariel grinned.

''You'll see, It's a surprise." Flounder said, mischievously.

Marie said, "And you're going to love it."

They swam a bit further and Ariel froze, her hand on her chest, and her face of total surprise. ''Oh, Flounder." There, right there in the center, was a statue of Prince Eric, the one that sunk right down to the bottom of the ocean when the drowning occurred.

Ariel squeezed Flounder and Marie. ''Oh, Flounder, Marie, you're the best!'' She said as she encircled the silver coated statue. "It looks just like him, it even has her eyes!'' she said happily, leaning against the statue.'

"More or less." Said Marie.

Then there was a noice at the opening. All 3 turned their head and all gasped as they saw King Triton's fuming face.

''Daddy!'' he gasped. Sebastian hid behind a rock, all too knowing of what was going to happen.

Marie saw him and almost glared at him.

''I consider myself a reasonable merman." He emerged from the shadows, the light bringing out his angry face. "I set certain rules, and I expect those rules to be obeyed." he said quietly as he advanced toward the 2 mermaids. Ariel bit herlip and backed up against the statue. Marie stayed close to her almost hugging.

''But, dad, I-'' Ariel started

''Is it true you rescued a human from drowning?''

''Father, I had to-'' Ariel try to say.

''Contact between the human world and the mer-world is strictly forbidden. Ariel, you know that! Everyone knows that!'' He raised her voice. ''He would have died!" Ariel countered.

''One less human to worry about!'' he threw his arms in the air exasperated as he turned his back.

''You don't even know him!'' Ariel cried.

''Know him? I don't have to know him, they're all the same!'' he cried back, as Ariel backed away, this time nearing behind the statue.

''Spineless,s avage,harpoonless fish eaters, incapable of any feeling and don't forget Marie is one of them.''

Marie gasped. "How did you know?!" she yelled.

''Daddy I love her and I don't care of Marie is a human!'' She cried, emerging from behind the statue, but gasping at the inevitable.

Sebastian gasped as if he was watching a Spanish drama take place. ''No..'' Triton whispered, disbelieving. ''Have you lost your senses completely, he's a human, you're a merman! And how can you defend Marie. She betrayed us.'' she exclaimed.

"I betrayed no one!" Marie yelled again. "In fact if I wasn't here how would Ariel be happy?"

''I don't care. I love him and Marie is my best friend." Ariel said defiantly.

''So help me Ariel, I am going to get through to you." he said quietly, ''If this is the only way." His emerald eyes glowed with something Ariel couldn't recognize, the triton shone like embers. "So be it'' he whispered.

Marie gasped. "No don't! Please don't!"

Too late. Any human item the queen saw in that trove, he targeted it. ''Daddy, no-''

He ignored him, the glow glowed brighter as it destroyed everything, desolated any loathed item, belonging to the despised humans. ''Daddy, no stop!''

The king's eyes flashed to the statue. Ariel and Marie gasped as they saw Triton's real target. The Queen hadn't noticed, thinking she swung it out of the way in time, and with that, a surge of orange and red flickered like a bonfire before it blasted toward the statue, destroying the statue, into nothing more than fragments. Ariel looked over in disbelief, and sadness. Her cyan blue eyes flashed and she lay on the rock crying.

The king's eyes softened into shame and regret, her mouth opened like he would say something, but it came out stammered. ''I-''

Marie went to her to comfort Ariel. She glared at him. "My mom and dad maybe hard-headed but this is low even for you." She said.

King Triton looked at her. "I expect you to leave Atlantica and never come back."

He looked left and right and then at his daughter, who was crying as Marie rubbed her back in a circle motion. He looked once more at his daughter and left her, leaving the trove she had left in desolation. Ariel finally calmed down and Marie lay her head on her back hugging her from behind.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you." Said Marie.

Ariel turned to her. "Please tell me everything."

Marie sighs. "Alright. But I'm telling you right now. You're happiness comes first and I'll do whatever I can to make your dreams come true."

Marie started to tell her everything. About where she came from, the royals, the Hatbox ghost, her mission, and everything.

Ariel looked at her. "So am I one of them?" she asked, "A scout?"

Marie said, "Maybe but I won't force you to become one. It wouldn't be right. Besides your happiness comes first right now." Ariel cried again and this time the 2 hugged each other.

Sebastian and Flounder looked to one another, feeling sympathy toward the upset princess. Sebastian swallowed and slowly scuttled over to the girls.

He reached out a claw, intending to give her a pat on the back, but shook his head and retracted it. ''Girls, I-'' Ariel whispered, ''Just go away."

Marie looked at him. "I thought you were my friend." She said.

Sebastian's lower lip quivered as his eyes twinkled, as if tears threatened to spill. He heaved a sigh and lowered his head, walking off. Flounder stayed back, watching gloomily. He sighed as well and followed Sebastian. The now-empty trove was now filled with hitched up breaths.

Behind a few rocks, Flotsom and Jetsam looked on in pure delight. They grinned and snaked out of their hiding place, their acid yellow eyes glowing.

''Poor children." Flotsom's raspy voice said, hovering above the girls.

''Poor, sweet children.'' Jetsam added.

They saw Marie's locket glowed purple again and looked up to see the 2.

''They have a very serious problem." Flotsom said smirking.

''If only there were something we could do'' said Jetsam in mock thought.

''But there is something." Flotsom replied as they floated beside each other.

Ariel whipped round. ''Wh-Who are you?'' She peered at the twittering eels.

''Don't be scared." Jetsam frowned snaking closer until he and the girls were face to face. Ariel backed away slowly somewhat hiding behind Marie. She bit her tongue, refraining from saying something considerably rude.

"What do you want?" asked Marie glaring at them.

The eel snaked around them. Ariel furrowed her brows, her mouth slightly ajar. ''We represent someone who can help you." the other one said.

''Someone that can make all your dreams come true." the other said enticingly. Ariel grunted at the sudden closeness of the other one, she was clearly uncomfortable. Same with Marie. 'I'm so glad they die in the end.' She thougt.

The eels both twined round each other. ''Just imagine, you and your prince.'' they started dreamily. ''Together, forever!'' they hissed. Ariel and Marie clambered back slowly. She shook his head. ''We don't understand." he said clearly.

''Ursula...has great powers." Flotsom said. The girls furrowed their brows and gasped, realization coming to them. ''The sea-witch?'' Marie said, "Then you 2 have gone crazy."

Ariel shook her head, as if it was one of the most ridiculous thing she's ever had. "That's-no, I couldn't possibly-no! Get out of here! Just leave us alone." he yelled at them. She turned her back to them. Flotsom and Jetsam looked at one another smugly.

''Suit yourself." Flotsom grinned as they slithered off. ''Just a suggestion." Jetsam reminded him as he flicked a fragment of the statue of Prince Eric's face, still flawless, without scratch, with the tip of his tail. Ariel turned round and peered at the piece of silver statue. She picked it up tenderly, looking at every detail.

Marie asked, "Are you sure about this?" She knew what she was going to do but Marie still hope that maybe she can say no that there must be another way. But that's not how the story goes.

Shee gulped and shut her eyes. ''Wait!'' she called. The eels turned round slowly.' 'Yeeeeeeess?'' they hissed, putting an emphasis on their answer.

Marie said bluntly, "Please don't do that in the future."

Flounder sniffed and wiped his nose with his blue fin.' 'Poor Ariel and Marie.'' he said sullen.

Sebastian nodded in agreement. ''I didn't mean to tell, it was an accident!'' Sebastian cried using his claws as a gesture as if Flounder had blamed him. They looked up as shadows overpasses them. They looked up to see Ariel and Marie, swimming with two ominous looking eels by either side. Sebastian scrambled upward. ''Ariel, Marie, where are you going?'' Sebastian asked going face to face with Ariel. Flounder followed.

''Marie what are you doing with all this riff-raff?'' Sebastian hissed ignoring the glares from Jetsam. Ariel's expression was determined. ''I'm going to see Ursula.'' She said simply. She swam off to be next to Marie. Sebastian clambered in the bubbly ocean and gasped. He scrambled on after them. ''Ariel." he started. He clung on to her turquoise tail fin and tried hard to jerk him backward.

''Ariel, no, no! He's a demon, a monster!'' he cried.

Marie turned round angrily and clenched her fists tight. ''Why don't you go tell King Triton? Your good at that'." She stated as Ariel jerked the crab off of her tail fin and swam off angrily.

''But, but I-'' he stuttered. Flounder came up beside him, worried. He looked at the blue striped fish expectantly. He rolled his eyes. ''Come on!'' he said as he swam off in the direction of the girls.

Wisps of purple smoke and fog emerged from the coral tubes as Ariel and Marie and the eels passed them all.

The cave was dark and the girls looked in horror at the cave's layout. The entrance was the skeleton of a beast, long forgotten, its mouth wide open, hollow and wide. They swam back a few paces, appalled at the sight. The two eels pushed their heads against each other. The darkness of the cave casting a shadow on them, despite the purple streaks of lighting. ''This way'' they enticed.

Marie glared. "I told you not to do that."

Ariel shut her eyes and sighed heavily, gathering her thoughts and balled her fists before following Flotsom and Jetsam into the eerie cave.

Ariel and Marie looked on in disgust as they passed a garden of rows and rows of the withered, grub-like creatures, springing from the cave's ground. One of them coiled itself on Marie's arm. She grunted and pulled back, eventually snapping it off thanks to Ariel helping her. ''Come in." A deep voice said slowly, dragging the girl's attention away from the creatures. The voice seemed to be coming from what seemed to be a giant conch sell.

''Come in, come in children.'' The sea monster herself slithered out of the darkness of her 'throne' her octopus ends splayed out.

Marie thought. 'And to think. In the original before screen she was suppose to be Triton sister.'

''We mustn't lurk in doorways-it's rude.'' she added flatly.

They peered from a curtain of wispy blue plants parting the curtains to see through.

Ursula turned her back to them but looked over her shoulder. ''One might question your upbringing." She said in a singsong voice as she slithered over to her 'vanity' with a wide-ish mirror and all sorts of hair-gel and creams made from deep-sea plants and lipstick on her lips.

She sat down in the chair. ''Now then." she said cutting quick to the chase.

''You're here because you have a thing for this human." one of her octopus tails picked up a pot of one of the gel.

''Oh..your still here, right where was I, oh yes, this er, prince boy. Not that I blame you-he is quite a catch, isn't he?'' The sea monster laughed, dabbing at the ocean with her hand. ''Well," Ursula picked up a shell, a white foamy substance oozed out as Ursula squeezed it and ran it along her cheek. The solution to your problem is simple. The only way to get what you want is to become a human yourself." Ursula smirked and looked at Ariel. Ariel's face went shocked. She gasped, her blue eyes widened.' 'Can you...do that?" She asked earnestly. Marie put her hands on her shoulders.

A self-satisfied smirk tugged at the corners of Ursula's lips. ''My dear, sweet child," She clasped her hands together. ''That's what I do-it's what I live for!'' she said clasping her hands together. ''To help unfortunate merfolk," She grinned. ''Like yourself'." She said in suggestion. Thwacking her on the back, as she gave a closed eyed grin.

''Poor souls with no one else to turn to.''

Ursula daintily floated upward and opened her mouth, strutting and posing as if on the cover of Victora's secret. "I admit that in the past I've been a nasty." She sang as Flotsom and Jetsam snaked round her like two slithery scarves. "They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch."

She scratched the chin of one of them as they snickered. "But you'll find that nowadays I've mended all my ways repented, seen the light and made a switch. True? Yes."

"And I fortunately know a little magic. It's a talent that I always have possessed. And here lately, please don't laugh I use it on behalf." He demonstrated using light purplish-pink smokey fog to show her magic, images and smoke with potions.

"Of the miserable, lonely and depressed.(Pathetic)" He whispered to Flora and Jetsam

"Poor unfortunate souls. In pain. In need." He said in mock-pity. "This one longing to be thinner." She demonstrated each person with the use of his potions,s howing images of hers...victims in need. "That one wants to get the girl. And do I help them? Yes, indeed."

She snapped her fingers to show the images of them with their desires and grinned. "Those poor unfortunate souls. So sad. So true."

Sebastian and Flounder peered from behind a rock and Flounder's eyes widened as his teeth chattered, but composed himself as they swam further, petrified at the garden of 'grubs'.

"They come flocking to my cauldron. Crying, "Spells, Ursula please!" And I help them? Yes, I do."

Then she turned to the 'victims'. "Now it's happened once or twice. Someone couldn't pay the price

And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals."

Shee demonstrated...revealing that they too were the victims of being turned into the sagging skeletal grub creatures. "Yes, I've had the odd complaint. But on the whole I've been a saint"

He plucked a strand of one of her plant curtains and wrapped it round her head like a nun's headscarf. He smirked. "To those poor unfortunate souls."

The creatures chattered and sunk beneath their shadows in fear.

She brought Ariel closer with the said piece of her 'curtain' leaving Marie alone. ''Now, here's the deal." She said. Ariel looked at Ursula hands as she led him further. ''I will make you a potion that will make you human for three days. Got that? Three days. Now listen, this is important." She said.

She used his potions for show. ''Before the sun sets on the third day, you've got to get dear ol' prince to fall in love with you." She made show with sparks of bright sun beams.

''That is, he's got to kiss you. Not just any kiss-the kiss of true love." Flounder and Sebastian stayed still, their bones racking and chattering as Ariel looked in awe at the images of his heart's desires. Marie was next to her looking at the same thing but in was awe that she was seeing this king of magic. "If he does kiss you before the sun sets on third day, you'll remain human, permanently. But, if she doesn't kiss you, you turn back into a mermaid, and, you belong to me." Ursula face was sinister.

''No, Ariel!'' Sebastian yelled, then it went muffled as the two eels silenced them both as they squeezed them both together with their tail ends, their eyes bulging. Ariel looked over and reverted his attention back to Ursula.

''Have we got a deal?'' Ursula pressed on.

For a moment, Ariel looked forlorn. Then she looked At Marie. ''If I become human, I'll never be with my father and sisters again and I'll leave Marie alone." She said quietly.

''Thats right...'' Ursula said, clearly stating 'as if that's not the most obvious thing in the ocean ''But...you'll have your man. Life's full of tough choices, innit?''

''Oh and there is one more thing," Ursula said, thoughtfully, as she snaked around, rolling over, her tentacles splaying out. ''We haven't discussed the subject of payment, you can't get something for nothing, you know." Ursula reminded her, dancing around.

''But we don't have any-''Ariel started.

One of Ursula tentacles flied up to silence him. ''I'm not asking much. Just a token, really a trifle, you'll never even miss it. What I want from you...is your voice.
She said slow, loud and clear. Ariel's hand met his throat.

''My voice." She stammered.

''You've got it sweet-cakes." Ursula said in a bored voice, flicking a few sea shells and crustaceans here and there, his hand supporting his head. ''No more talking, singing, zip'' She popped the 'p'.

''But, without her voice, how can she-'' started Marie

Ursula sighed irritable as if she was talking to a child of four understand equations. ''You'll have your looks, your handsome face. And don't underestimate the importance of body language. Ha!''

She went up to her cabinet. To get her bottles. "The men up there don't like a lot of blabber. They think a girl who gossips is a bore. Yes, on land it's much preferred for the ladies not to say a word and after all, what is idle prattle for? Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation."

He threw what an array of bottles of potions and flung them over his shoulder without a second glance. "True gentlemen avoid it when they can. But they dote and swoon and fawn. On a lady who's withdrawn. It's she who holds her tongue who gets a man."

Then different color smoke started to come out of the cauldron and the girls hugged eachother. "Come on, you poor unfortunate soul. Go ahead! Make your choice! I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day. It won't cost much. Just your voice! You poor unfortunate soul. It's sad, but true

Then the scroll appears. As she sang Marie whispered. "Put your hand on top of mine. I have the same name. If I sign it you won't get hurt if anything goes wrong." Ariel looked at her. "Please trust me." Ariel nodded

"If you want to cross a bridge, you've got to pay the toll. Take a gulp and take a breath and go ahead and sign the scroll!"

She whispered to the eels, "Flora, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys. The boss is on a roll. This poor unfortunate soul."

Angrily Ariel put her hand on top of Marie's grabbed the feather pen and much to the horror of Flounder and Sebastian they thrust the pen at the scroll...and signed a name but it wasn't Ariel's. It's was Marie's first name in her own signature different from what was suppose to be: Ariel

Ursula grinned maliciously and started to chant after she got the scroll back.

''Paluga, sarruga, come winds of the Caspian sea. Rings us glossitis and max laryngitis, La voce to me!''

The cauldron's potions bubbled and fizzed and encircled Ariel and Marie, who looked around at the electric blue and stinging bright lights that surrounded them. ''Now, sing." Ursula whispered. Marie let Ariel go. Ariel took a deep breath and sang, all the while a bright greenish light omitted from Ursula appeared green in the light.

''Keep singing!'' She cried. Ariel did. Two green spindly hands plucked Ariel's voice from within her, which appeared as a bright white ball of light, which continued to glow and Ariel's voice lay in the light. Ariel clutched her throat as Marie put her arms around her again.

Ursula cackled madly as Ariel was turned into a human. Her tail whipping about, crackles of light shooting from the tail until it vanished altogether. Ariel's legs appeared and she scrambled upward, holding her breath. Sebastian, and Flounder darted from their hiding place and went on either sides of the now human princess and escorted her up to the surface, leaving a very pleased Ursula to cackle in the cave, leaving her echoes bouncing from the cave's walls.

Marie turned to Ursula. "I'll make sure Ariel beat you witch." She glared at her.

Ursula put a finger under her chin. "I wouldn't count on that. Besides what do you know about things?"

Marie smirked. "I know you were based off a big fat drag queen."

Before Ursula turned her head to give her a piece of her mind, Marie swam away laughing at her. This time the plants didn't mind the laugh since it sounded like an angel as it rang through the halls. Marie manages to get to the 3 and got Ariel to the surface before she died of drowning. Both Marie and Ariel made it taking their breath of fresh air. Then Flounder, Sebastian, and Marie helped Ariel to shore.

In the far distance was a palace. It dazzled the eyes of many visitors. Its stairs spiraled and led outside to the pretty ocean blue, it was white with tiny windows embedded in the white walls.

Outside the castle walls sat Prince Eric and his dog Max, who was running around barking as Eric played his flute. Erica sighed and raked a hand through his dark hair.

''That voice.'' Eric said wistfully. ''I can't get it out of my head'' he said a bit forcefully, as he walked past Max, still barking. Eric sighed again and bent down to be level with his dog. ''I've looked everywhere Max, where could she be?''

Sebastian, Marie and Flounder pant heavily as they feebly hoist themselves up on a few rocks outside the palace. Near them, Ariel is washed up by the shore and flicked her wet hair out of her eyes and looks down. She grins, her cyan blue eyes twinkling in amazement. She lifts one leg and gawps at her new human legs. She flexes and grins, looking up at the over passing shadow in the sky, which turned out to be the friendly seagull, Scuttle.

''Well, look at what the catfish dragged in!'' the seagull calls and perches itself on one of Ariel's legs, crossed over her knee.

''Look at ya! Look at ya, there's something different." Scuttle says unwisely as he scratches his head. Ariel nods his head slowly, smiling.

''Now don't tell me." Scuttle supports his chin with a cupped wing.

''Hmm..it's your...back isn't it? Or is it? You've been using the backolapper haven't ya?'' Scuttle exclaimed whirling round and flying behind Ariel. Ariel rolled her eyes but still kept his grin and shook his head. ''No, no huh, well let me think." Scuttle rested against Ariel's feet and scratched his head.

''New...seashells?'' he suggested. Ariel raised an eyebrow and thought for a second or so and bit her lip. ''No new seashells.." Ariel grinned and shook her leg, the one Scuttle was perched on. Sebastian's patience decreased within every minute. His frown deepened as his hand supported his head as he looked on at the non-too bright seagull.

''I gotta admit I can't put my foot on right now, but if I just stand her long enough I know I'll-''

''SHE'S GOT LEGS YOU IDIOT!'' Sebastian exploded. Scuttle rises up in a flutter of feathers at the outburts.

''She traded her voice to the sea witch and got legs." Sebastian explained, annoyed. ''Jeez man." ''I knew that." Scuttle claimed. Sebastian clenched his teeth as Ariel slowly raised himself up on his newly found human body parts.

Marie groans as she lay on the sand. "Boy do I miss the sand." Then her locket glowed again and her legs came back and her clothes. Ariel looked at her weird. "This thing is acting weird so I don't know what to tell you." She stood up and helped her up.

''Ariel's been turned into a human." Flounder piped up. Ariel outstretched her arms and attempted to balance herself. Marie helped her stand up but Ariel pushed her hands away. "she's gotta make the prince fall in love with her, and he's gotta ki-he's gotta kiss her''.

''And she's got three days!'' Sebastian exclaimed. Ariel wobbled and tripped over, falling with a splash causing a wave of sea water to cover Flounder Scuttle and Sebastian. She landed on Marie and they both landed in the water again.

''Just look at her!'' Sebastian said dramatically. A piece of seaweed was on top of Ariel's red hair.

''On legs! On human legs! My nerves are shot. This is a catastrophe!'' Sebastian went into panic mode. ''What will her father say? I'll tell you what her father would say, he's gonna say, I'm gonna kill herself a crab, that's what her father would say!'' jabbing a finger at a confused Flounder. Ariel bit her lip, finally she had gotten on her feet, and flicked the piece of greenery off of her head. Her mouth ajar, she looked to Sebastian.

''I'm gonna march meself straight home right now and tell her just like I shoulda done de minute-''

Ariel grabbed him, interrupting his march. Ariel shook his head desperately.

''And don't you shake your head at me, young lady. Maybe there's still time'' Ariel blew a puff of relieved air, her red fringe lifting up. Ariel bit his lip and shook his head again.

''If we could get that witch to give you back your voice'' he grinned encouragingly as Ariel shook her head in a 'no'.

''You could go home with all the normal fish and just be...just be." he trailed off at the sight of Ariel's face. Ariel's grin faltered until it turned into a frown and the brightness in his eyes faded.

Marie grabbed him. "Now listen here crab. Ariel wants to feel happiness and this is her chance. Now if you're worried about the old hag taking her, you don't have too. I put MY name on there incase you forgot I have the same name as her. Let her have her happiness. I mean looked at her. Do you really want her to be like that for the rest of her life?" She showed her Ariel's face, which amplifies the guilty trip. Marie made him look at her. "Well?"

''And just be miserable for the rest of your life." Sebastian sighed and rested his head on his hand. He shook his head. ''Alright, alright, I'll try to help ya find that prince." he said reluctant. Ariel's grin returned and so did her hopeful glimmer. She picked up the red crab and kissed him.

Marie said, "Thanks Sebastian. We owe you one."

The crab sighed heavily. ''Boy what a soft shell I'm turning out to be. And you certainly do Ariel Marie." he moaned.

Marie glared at him. "Don't do that. I get that enough from mom."

''Now Ariel, I'm telling ya. If you wanna be a human, the first thing you gotta do is dress like one. Now lemme see." Scuttle picked up an immaculate white fabric and stuck his tongue out in concentration. He tied a few knots here and there.

Then Marie's locket again glowed and her clothes turned into peasant ones with her hair down. Marie grew annoyed. "I swear I'm going to break this thing."

Along the shore Eric walked along sadly, Max in tow. Eric looked crestfallen and deep in thought. Max's blue eyes widened as he bark loudly and started yowling. He ran in front of Eric . Eric stepped back.'' Max? huh...what, Max?''

Max continued yowling and ran ahead. ''Max!'' Eric called. He ran after the dog.

Scuttle whistled and positioned his fingers in camera form.

''Ya look great kid. Ya look sensational'' Flounder and Sebastian looked on. Ariel twisted and turned. Scuttle had made her some baggy dress. Marie tried to make look nice, but it wasn't working. In the distance they heard yowling and light footsteps. Founder yelped and ducked in the water. The dog chased the crab and Sebastian ran up a rock and placed Sebastian in one of her pockets. The dog licked Arron's cheek and Marie's. Ariel grinned and looked up at a female's voice. ''Mx!'' Eric ran over and looked to his left and then at the bounding dog.

''Max...Max, quiet Max what's gotten into you boy?'' the dog ran backwards and forwards, trying to signal to his oblivious owner. Eric smiled and looked up, his smile instantly turned into an 'o' shape.

''Oh'' she said. Up ahead she saw Ariel sitting perched on the rock and Marie next to her. But his attention was more on the red-head.

''Oh,I..I see." he stammered. Ariel raked a hand through her hair, trying desperately to keep it in place. Eric came closer. ''Are you okay? I'm sorry if this knuckle head scared ya." Erica grinned, playfully rubbing Max's head. ''He's harmless really-'' he dropped Max as he and Ariel's faces were only inches away. Marie said, "It's alright. We're used to animals." ''You...seem very familiar...to me, have we met?'' Eric narrowed her eyes. Ariel nodded his head. Max leaped up and barked. Eric placed Max behind her back. ''We have met!" Max pushed Eric from behind, causing princess and prince to clasp hands.

''I knew it, your the one!'' he said excitedly.' 'The one I've been looking for, what's your name?'' Eric was ecstatic, as was Ariel. Ariel said his name, only for nothing to come out. Ariel frowned and then painfully remembered...she didn't have a voice... She clutched her throat. ''What's wrong?'', Eric asked.

''What is it?'' Eric swatted at the dog. Ariel bit her lip and touched her throat.

Marie said, "We were in a ships wrech and I'm afraid she lost her voice in the crash."

''You can't speak?'' Eric interpreted. Ariel shook her head sadly, in confirmation.

''O...oh'' Eric looked down, forlorn.

''Then you couldn't have been who I thought." Ariel and Maxe blow a puff of air in frustration. Ariel thinks and then an idea hits her. She tried pantomime, he does a series of actions. ''What is it? Your hurt?'' Ariel shakes her head.

''No, no, you need help." with all the vigorous action, Ariel slips off the rock. Marie attemped to catch her but she was caught be Eric. Eric's face turns various shades of crimson, as does Ariel. Max smiles in triumh as well as Marie. ''I'm so sorry...gee you must have really been through something. Don't worry I'll help you and your sister.'' Eric quickly got up and held out a hand for Ariel, who took it gratefully. ''Come one, come on you'll be okay." Eric put his arm around her and Marie also helped her walk. Ariel turned round and smiled at Flounder and Scuttle, who smile and Scuttle gives him a thumbs up as he is led to the princess's castle. Marie turned her head and gave them a thumb up from behind her back.

Ariel and Marie lay in the white bathtub, with suds and soap lathered into their hair as Arie; gazed in wonder and awe at the bubbles floating up and around them. She gently lifted one up with blew it out of her hand as Marie giggled.

''Washed up from the shore, oh, the poor dears." a plump woman, known as Carlotta sympathized as she dunked a bucket of warm water over their heads.

''We'll have you 2 feeling better in no time." she cooed. Behind her Sebastian peeked out slyly from an immaculate white coat's pocket. She hummed a small tune as she grabbed the white coat. Sebastian gasped and ducked his head back into the pocket. ''I'll just'' she opened one eye and looked down in disgust. ''I'll just...get this washed for you." she picked up the coat and dunked it into a huge water basket and continued to wash it by hand.

''You must have at least heard about the girls, especially the red-head." one of the maids said haughtily as she rolled up her sleeves and continued with the washing up.

''Well," the other maid let the word roll off her tongue as she violently dunks the white coat in the washing up basket, with the crab inside of it.

''Gretchen says...since when has Gretchen gotten anything right anyhow? I mean really, these girls shows up in rags and one of them doesn't speak," the maid puts the coat in the dryer, never noticing Sebastian clawing for his life, trying to escape.

''Madame, please!'' Sebastian pleads in terror.

''Not my idea of a princess," the maids continued to gossip about the strange young girls. ''If Eric's looking for a girl.'' she starts.

''You have to admit though, red-head is quite pretty.'' a normally shy and quiet maid says quietly. She was the youngest out of all the maids. She was a young girl of 15, coming from a poor background, the pay in her work was very good. The older women stared at the girl as she blushes and continued to wash and dunk the clothes excessively. The other women start a bubbly chat circled around what the young girl had said.

''If Eric's looking for a girl.'' the maid continues, interrupting the idle chat as she grabs the white coat and hangs it on a clothing line with a green clothing's peg as Sebastian dangles precariously from the coat.

''I know a couple of highly available ones, right here." she says lazily as she strings the line to her right. Sebastian's eyes widen as he finds an escape route and dives in through one of the palace windows. Sebastian rubs his head and looks up. He gasped in horror. From left to right he saw many dismembered pieces of his fellow comrades, fish. But his eyes catch something he wishes he had not seen. In the centre is a plate of dead crab, ready for eating, stuffed and all. He stands up and stiffens before fainting.

In the palace dining room, Grimsby and Eric are seated at the large table, waiting patiently for Ariel and Mari to arrive as Grimsby tried desperately to reason with the young princess.

''Oh Eric, be reasonable." Grimsby said, clearly amused as he waves his pipe in the air.

''Ladies don't just...swim around rescuing people in the middle of the ocean and then, flutter off into oblivion, like some-''

''I'm telling you Grim, she was REAL! I'm gonna find her..and I'm gonna marry him." Eric put a hand under his chin, gazing out the glass windows. Eric furrowed her brows and turned round when she heard laughter from behind her.

''Come on honeys, don't be shy." a woman's voice coaxed. Carlotta stood by the door-frame, looking on in pride as Ariel walked into the room, donned in an immaculate pink dress. Marie was in a simple purple dress.

Eric's blue eyes widened as Grim walked up behind the prince. ''Oh Eric!'', Grimsby said grinning. ''Isn't she a sight?'' Grimsby said, the grin never slipping off his face.

Marie said, "If you mean my sister then yes she does." She smiled as she walked next to Ariel.

Eric's mouth hung open, he closed his mouth and swallowed. ''You look wonderful, so beautiful!'' Eric said smiling. Ariel bowed her head, a smile on her face as her cyan blue eyes looked up from behind his fringe. Erica blushed a light pink as Grimsby helped Ariel to her seat, quite enthusiastic, but not before giving the young prince a light nudge. Eric pursed his lips, but grinned nonetheless. Marie sat next to Ariel on her left that Eric can by on Ariel's right.

''Come, come you 2 must be famished. Let me help you, kind madams. There we go, quite comfy, ah." Grimsby said as he helped the princess to her seat.

''It's not often that we have a such a dinner guests, eh Eric?''

Ariel's eyes widened as he grinned when his eyes fell upon 'the backolapper'. She picked it up and used the back of it to run it down his back. Se looked up to face a confused Eric and a horrified Grimsby. Ariel delicately placed it where it had been and looked down in embarrassment.

Marie said, "Please forgive my sister. We're from a poor family and sometimes our brushes are forks since we can't afford them."

She bit her lip and looked up as she saw Grimsby use a lighter to ignite the coppery thing that Ariel understood as a ''snarfblatt."

Arron grinned as Grimsby turned to her. ''Oh, you like it?'' he asked as he handed the pipe to her. ''It's rather fine-'' Grimsby was cut short as a puff of soot flew onto his face. Eric blinked and then burst out laughing and then stops and coughs, composing himself.

Grimsby asked, "And the pipe?

Marie tried to hold her laugh. "She doesn't know how to smoke and saw someone do music with it."

''Ahem, um so sorry Grim." as he flashed his butler a smile.

''Why Eric, this is the first time I've seen you smile in weeks." Carlotta says smiling. Just when Ariel thinks she has messed everything up, he brightens up and then turns to face Ariel.

Grimsby grabs a handkerchief and wipes the contents of the pipe off of his face. ''Oh, very amusing.'' Grimsby says flatly, showing now signs of any amusement.'' Carlotta, my dear, what's for dinner?" Grimsby sniffs and dabs at his face, smiling at the thought of dinner.

''Oooh, your gonna love it!'' Carlotta says brightly. ''Chefs been fixing his speciality, stuffed crab."

Marie turned pale for a moment. Eric asked, "What's wrong?"

Marie answered. "I was just reminded that I'm not into fish."

Carlotta said, "Then a salad for you then." She left and Ariel looked at her funny.

Marie whispered, "I'll tell you later. But for now Sebastian just got a new enemy."

Then they heard some crashes and Carlotta

"I think I better go see what Louis' up to." Carlotta suggested as she ran to the kitchen. When she arrived the kitchen was a mess. Broken things everywhere and Louis trying to the find the small crab.

He shouted furiously, "Come out you little pipsqueak and FIGHT LIKE A MAN!"

"Louis!" Carlotta shouted, entering the totally destroyed kitchen. Louis got up "What are you doing?!"

"Just...I'm sorry madam." Louis chuckled putting out the small flame on his mustache. Carlotta grabbed the prepared dishes and stomped out of the room.

Back in the dining room, Grimsby was suggesting something to Eric for the following day.

"Maybe our new friend here would like to see some of the sights of the kingdom." He was saying, "Like a tour or something. You can't spend your time hanging around here all day, you need to get out there again. " And with that, he lifted his plate up to reveal Sebastian sitting there.

"Sebastian." Marie whispered as Ariel had a shocked face.

Sebastian told them to be quiet.

"Now hang on a minute, Grimsby." Eric began, "It isn't such a bad idea."

Ariel mentions to Sebastian crawled hurriedly over to her plate. Ariel closed it suddenly when Eric turned to her.

"So, would you like to see my kingdom tomorrow morning?" Eric asked.

Ariel nod her head for her answer. Marie said, "Oh you'll have a wonderful time sissy."

Grimsby asked, "Would you like to join?"

Marie answered, "No thank you. Sissy should go since she never really been out of the house growing up.

"Great," Grimsby cheered, "now let's get to eating before this crab walks off my plate." And when he looked down, he noticed that his crab had actually walked off his plate.

That night, Ariel watched Eric from the window of her bedroom. Eric was playing with Max the balcony below the guess room. When he looked up to notice Ariel looking at him, she waved and slide back into the bedroom shyly.

"This has to be the most embarrassing day of my life, Ariel. I hope you appreciate the things I get myself into because of you." Sebastian scolded.

"You meet Louis didn't you?" Marie asked him.

"What do you think? Why didn't you tell me that was going to happened?" asked Sebastian.

"If it make you feel any better you get your revenge in the end and you knock out all of his teeth. And besides I always fastfoward that part anyway." She said as she fixed her pajamas and as Ariel brushed her hair with the fork.

"Well anyway, I'm glad, now we have to make a plan to get Prince Eric to kiss you." Sebastian began as Ariel laid on the bed and turned to fall asleep, "You're going to look your best tomorrow when he's going to take you for that tour. You have to pucker up your lips like this." But Ariel was already fast asleep.

Marie petted her head. "I think that's enough for one day." She blew out the candle as Sebastian lay on the pillow and Marie got into bed. The 2 were sharing one.

"You are hopeless, princess, completely hopeless." He yawned.

Meanwhile, King Triton was pacing back and forth when the royal messenger, return from yet another search party.

"Any sign of them?" He asked her.

"No you're majesty. We haven't found your daughter, Marie, or Sebastian." He informed him.

"Well, keep looking. Let no stone be unturn and so whatever you can to fond them." King Triton said.

The messenger sighed, "Yes, sire." And with that, the little seahorse left the King of Andros to worry and swim up to his throne.

"Oh what have I done? What have I done?" He said sadly.

The next morning at sunrise, Grimsby waved as Eric and Ariel went into town on a carriage ride.

Marie got back into the waters and was back as a mermaid. She started to follow them in hiding hoping everything will go well.

Eric let Ariel take the rains of the horse, and she was good for a while, but when Eric turned to her, she was looking underneath the carriage at the horse's legs. When they crossed a bridge, Flounder and Marie swam up to the path, trying to get a good look at them. He managed to talk to Sebastian for a minute.

"Has he kissed er yet?" they asked him.

"Not yet." Sebastian told them.

"Aw!" Anne sighed.

"You got to be kidding me." Said Marie

In town, Ariel was watching a puppet show, and took the puppet right off the puppeteer's hand, and all Eric could do was laugh. Then the two of them danced to music in the square. A while later, Scuttle flew over the carriage and met up with the 2 swimmer.

"Have they kissed yet?" he asked.

"No. Not yet." They told him.

"They had better hurry up!" Scuttle thought out loud. "If only it's that easy." Muttered Marie

Eric gave Ariel the reins of the horse again, this time she made the horse speed up, and they were headed for a cliff, but the horse jumped, causing them to reach the other side in one piece. Now Eric could relax as Arie; continued to take control.

That night, Nabu and Layla rode a paddle boat on the lake. Flounder, Marie and Scuttle watched them, and nothing was going on yet.

"Move your feathers, Chatta, I can't see them." Flounder whispered.

"Nothing's happening yet Flounder." Schuttle told him. "One day left and that boy hasn't attempted a kiss once! Time to take matters into my own hands." And then he landed on the branch and tried to sing a song for them which was good off. Eric just shrugged.

"Wow. Someone need to find that bird to put it out of it's misery." He said.

"Oh Scuttle," Marie muttered, "you are so bad."

"I'm surrounded by idiots here!" Sebastian shouted, jumping into the water, "No if you want something done correctly, you have to do it by yourself."

Marie said, "Let me help. The songs need a light melody anyway."

Sebastian said, "As long as it works."

Marie got excited. "Yes my favorite song." She said.

Sebastian went to some animals. "First we got to create the mood." He said smiling.

Marie started. "Precussion." She pointed to the ducks playing drums on turtles.

Sebastian went to the grasshoppers. "Strings."

Marie turned to the winded water vines. "Winds."

Then Sebastian said, "Words."

Marie started to sing in a quiet whispering voice. "There you see you. Sitting there across the way."

It somehow got Eric's attention to Ariel. "She don't got a lot to say but there's something about her. And you don't know why but your dying to try you wanna kiss the girl." Then she ducked underwater out of view.

Eric asked looking at that direction and asked, "Did you hear something?" Ariel just shook her head. Marie went behind the boat and gently pushed.

Sebastian continued. "Yes you want her. Look at her you know you do." Soon the other animals joined in softly. "Possible she wants you too. There sis one way to ask her."

Then Marie joined into the singing. "It don't take a word not a single word go on and kissed the girl."

Ariel and Eric were close but not so much. So Sebastian went under water to the frogs and said, "Sing with me now."

The frogs were on the paddles singing as the song continued. "Sha-la-la-la-la-la my oh my looks like the boy's too shy ain't gonna kiss the girl."

Marie and Sebastian were back at the sidelines looking at the couple sad that it might not happened. "sha-la-la-la-la-la ain't that sad ain't it a shame to bad. He gonna miss the girl."

Then the 2 started to talk. Eric said, "You know I feel really bad not knowing your name." He stopped paddling and Mari went ahead to push the boat. "Maybe I can guess…." He started to think. "is it err…Mildred." Ariel made a gross face which made him laugh. "Ok no…how about Diana…Rachael?" But all he got were shook heads.

Finally Sebastian had enough. "Ariel. Her name is Ariel." He whispered.

Eric thought about that. "Ariel?" He saw Ariel shook her head with happiness. "Ariel!" She nodded again as she held her hand. He held them back. "Well that's kinda pretty. Okay Ariel."

Marie smiled as she pushed the boat to a location as both her and Sebastian sing. "Now's ya moment floatin' in a blue lagoon."

They arrived at a sea tree and the bird parted the vines so they can enter. Marie stopped pushing as the fish started to come into view. "Boy you better do it soon. No time will be better. She don't say a word and she won't say a word until you kiss the girl."

Then the others started to make the scene more romantic. "Sha-la-la-la-la-la don't be scred you got the mood prepared. Go on and kiss de girl. Sha-la-la-la-la-la don't stop now, don't try to hide it now you wanna kiss the girl. Sha-la-la-la-la-la float along and listen to the song say kiss the girl. Sha-la-la-la-la-la the music play do what the music say. You gotta kiss the girl."

Eric began looking into Ariel's eyes. Other creatures surrounded the boat, and they were all pressuring Eric just to kiss her. "You've got to kiss the girl. Why don't you kiss the girl. Yeah you gotta kiss the girl. Go on and kiss the girl."

And at the end, he went in for it, and their lips slowly began to meet. When suddenly the boat tipped right over.

Sebastian and Marie face-palmed. The animals went away.

"Hang on, I gotcha!" Eric called as Flotsom and Jetsom high fived their tails before diving down into the water again.

"Nicely work boys." Ursula told the two other witched, "That close. TOO close. Those little tramps. They're much better then I thought. And with Marie there she'll be kissing him by sundown. Well, it's time Ursula can take thing into her OWN tentacles." Then she started to make her own potion "Triton's daughter will be mine, and I'll make him mine. And I'll had him squirm like a worm on a hook!" Then she started to laugh as her face and body changes dramatically but this time she was laughing in Ariel's voice.

Later that night, Eric sat by the balcony playing the flute, when Grimby came up to him quietly.

"Eric, I just have to say that if you're looking for your dream girl, maybe consider someone who has been right here this whole time." He told Eric. "In any case madam might have been here all along." Then he left. All Eric could do was look up at the guest room where Ariel stayed, and watched her feel through her hair with a brush. Then he smiled, looking at her, and thought about it for a minute before throwing his flute into the ocean with defeat. As Eric was about to go inside the castle, he suddenly he saw something, or someone, emerge from the water. Her silhouette drifted across the water's surface, and Eric could see the beautiful deep sea blue eyes that once were Ariel's, and with the dark magic Icy possessed, he was instantly entranced by her.

Marie woke up and saw her locked glowing purple again. Then she remembered what will happened. "I'm too late." She whispered. She looked at Ariel and Sebastian. "I'm so sorry. Ariel you have no choice to be a scout. But what element do you represent?" She lay back down and moved some hair out of Ariel's face. I just hope your ending won't be like the original book."

The next morning, Scuttle flew happily around the castle in search of the girl's bedroom. He had important news for Ariel, Marie and Sebastian that was very crucial to getting Ariel turned into a human permanently with no problem.

"Ariel, Ariel!" He called out, flying into the open window of the guest room, "Wake up I have great news! We did it!"

"Scuttle?" Marie asked, "What's going on?"

"What is this nuisance talking about?" Sebastian asked, waking up beside Ariel.

"Like you didn't know." Scuttlebegan, "The entire kingdom is in a commotion about Prince Eric tying the knot this afternoon."

"What?" Ariel asked Scuttle.

"You know he's getting married!" Scuttle clarified, "Good luck, Ariel, I wouldn't miss this for the world!" And then, Scuttle left out the window with joy.

"You don't mean Prince Nabu could've-?" Ariel thought as she carefully felt her way out of bed and so, Ariel ran out the door, feeling her way down the hallway.

Marie cried out to her. "Ariel wait." She ran after her."

She went down the long staircase, and when she reached the main floor, she could hear Eric and Grimsby talking. Ariel felt for a pillar and hid to hear the conversation.

"Well, I'll be, Eric." Riven chuckled, "I was completely wrong the entire time, this dream girl of yours actually does exist. Congratulations, my dear."

Marie manage to catch up to Ariel and wasseeing what was going on. There was another woman next to Eric. Though Ariel doesn't know, Marie does. It was Ursula.

"We want to be married as soon as possible." Eric told Grimsby.

"Well, these things take time, Eric." Grimsby warned.

"This afternoon," Eric instructed, "the Royal Wedding Ship departs before sunset."

"Okay, Eric, you're the prince." Grimsby sighed.

As the girls heard this, Ariel turned away and ran back to her room to crying. Marie looked the new girl and saw she gave Marie an evil smile only Ursula can give. She went back to Ariel to try and comfort her. No one but Ursula, noticed. She laughed wickedly as she looked down at lock sea-shell that had her voice.

It was now late afternoon, and while everyone was rejoicing, laughing and talking on the Royal Wedding Ship, Ariel and Marie stood at the dock watching the ship depart. She pulled herself toward a pillar on the edge of the dock and leaned against it. She knew that the ship was leaving as the chatter became distant, so she slide down the pillow and sat there with her head in her hands and continued to cry.

Marie kneeled next to her. "Ariel I'm so sorry. Please don't me mad at me and your friends." Ariel hugged her as she cried on her shoulder. Marie rubbed her back and looked at the ship. 'At least she would be safe.' She thought. 'I just hope she doesn't eat sea plants.'

Sebastian crawled toward her sadly, and watched her cry as he lowered his head in hopelessness. Ariel looked up for a minute to let a tear fall from her colorless eyes into the water, where Flounder was watching her, and seeing her best friend cry made her want to cry as well. The three of them sat there, very sad that Ariel's dream didn't come true.

Meanwhile, Scuttle flew over the Royal Wedding Ship, singing to himself, when she heard the voice of the new mystery girl who had stolen Eric's heart overnight. She peaked into the porthole of the ship right into her dressing room, where Ursula in disguise was singing as well. "What a lovely little bride I'll make. My dear, I'll look divine! Things are working out according to my ultimate design! Soon I'll have that little mermaid, and the ocean will be mine!" She stepped onto her vanity and pulled the mirror toward her, revealing her true form within her reflection. Scuttle gulped as she saw who this new girl actually was.

"The sea-white!" Chatta whispered. And so she flew back to where his friends were watching as she called out Ariel's name frantically.

"Ariel, I was flying over the wedding ship, and I saw Vanessa watching the mirror... And she had your eyes!" Scuttle told Ariel as she faced the direction of Sebastian's voice.

"Make more sense please." Said Marie.

"Don't you get it?" Scuttle continued, "The prince is marring the sea-witch in disguise!"

"Are you sure about this?" Sebastian asked him.

"Have I ever been wrong? I mean when it's important?" Scuttles reassured them.

"So what are we going to do?" Flounder asked.

"I got an idea." Marie began, standing up carefully on the dock. She dived in and she was a mermaid again. Ariel faced out in the direction of the setting sun, and remembered what Ursula had told her, she had to be kissed by the sunset of her third day on land. She then felt for the edge of the dock, and jumped into the water. Sebastian snipped off a couple of barrels for Marie and Flounder.

"Flounder Marie, help Ariel grab on to the barrels, then get her to that wedding ship as fast as you 2 possibly can!" He instructed.

"We'll try my best!" Anne assured them both. Both Flounder and Marie got the rope and swam as fast as they can to the ship.

"I have to get to the sea King he has to know about this." Sebastian panicked.

"What about me?" Scuttle asked Sebastian.

"You! Find a way to stall the wedding!" Saladin told her.

"Stall the wedding? That's it!" So Scuttle flew away, calling forward her friends from the air and sea, and they followed her across the ocean to the wedding ship.

"Come on. We got an emergency!" he shouted to them as they headed to the ship.

One the ship, Eric and Vanessa, but was really Ursula, began walking down the aisle. Max was sitting on the side, and began growling at the girl, however Ursula just kicked her, which made Max whimper, and Ursula looked forward. Once they reached the podium, the minister began reciting from his book.

"Dearly beloved," He began, "We are gathered here today to honor the union of Prince Eric and Venessa."

While the wedding continued, Flounder and Marie pulled Ariel along toward the wedding ship.

"Don't you worry, Ariel. We're going to make it. We're almost there." She reassured her, out of breath.

Meanwhile back at the wedding, the minister had continued reciting from the book he had in from of him.

"And do you, Prince Eric, take Vanessa to be your wife for as long as you both live?" He asked Eric. Vanessa was looking at the sunset and smiled in victory.

" I do." He answered without hesitation.

"And do you-" The minister continued, when suddenly Scuttle and her friends flew in from the air, heading straight for Ursula. She ducked just in time before they could attack, but when she stood up, they attacked her again as Max began making excited noise and everyone began running around in a panic. Seals hopped across the deck and birds splashed Mitzi with water, and crabs grabbed onto her nose, and starfish flew on top of Ursula's dress and face. She pulled the starfish off her face with annoyance.

"Get out of here!" She screamed, "Go on, get!" But the birds continued to attack, and the seals began playing with her as well. Now, Ariel, Marie and Floudner were at the edge of the ship, and they guided Ariel to a rope, and made her way up the boat. Marie's fin went away and had legs again to help Ariel up. On the ship, a seal tossed Ursula right into the wedding cake, and she screamed as dishes flew everywhere. Once she stood up, she was strayed in the face by a seal, and Scuttle squawked right in her ear.

"Go away!" She yelled back, and Max hopped over behind Ursula and bit her in the butt. The girls climbed up the rope and slid onto the wedding deck where all the chaos was taking place. Scuttle was pulling on the seashell that contained Ariel's voice, and when Max bit her, it snapped from her neck and fell to the floor, shattering into pieces as she screamed once again. A bright light shine from the broken pieces of the seashell, and it surrounded Ariel, in moments, her voice was back. Everyone watched as Ariel regained her voice.

Ariel started to sing again. Marie smiled widely "You're voice is back!"

Eric, however, snapped right out of the trance once the shell had been broken.

"Ariel," He asked, walking towards her.

"Eric!" Ariel cried out. Max ran to her barking happily.

Eric said walking to her, "You can talk."

"You're the one!" Eric continued. They held hands as Marie got out of the way.

"Eric, get away from her!" Ursula shouted but then quickly covered her mouth as her original mouth.

"I can't believe it was you all the time." Eric told Marie.

"I really tried to tell you." Ariel replied as they began to kiss.

"Erik, no!" Mitzi cried out, and at once, the sun had set, and Ariel fell from Eric's arms, turning back into a mermaid, "You're too late, you're too late!" And with that, Vanessa turned back into Ursula, making everyone watch gasp in horror. Ursula crawled over to Ariel and grabbed her.

"See you around, loverboy!" Ursula laughed wickedly with Ariel struggling in her grasp, then they jumped off the boat and into the water. Marie followed them. "No you don't!"

"Ariel!" Eric shouted after her.

Ursula dragged Princess Ariel back under the waters of the sea as the mermaid princess struggled in her grasp. Marie was trying to make Ursula let go of her.

"Don't worry Princess," The evil witch reassured her, "I'm not after you specifically, but a more powerful mer-person-" But before Ursula could finish her statement, she was stopped in her tracks by King Triton himself.

"Ursula stop!" He demanded sharply as Sebastian stood on the ground beside him.

"King Triton. How are you?" Icy laughed

"Let her go!" Triton boomed furiously.

"I can't do that, Triton." Ursula told him, "She's mine now. We made a deal." She showed him the contract.

"Dad, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean too-" Ariel protested while the eels held her back. King Triton tried to take off his daughter's signature from Ursula's contract, throwing Icy against a stonewall in the process, however he was unsuccessful.

"You see?" Ursula cackled, "This contract is legit, completely unbreakable, even for the most powerful merman in all of Atlantica." With this, Triton was getting very ticked off with Ursula, and increasingly worried about his youngest daughter's freedom.

The contract then left her hands but it didn't go to Ariel, it went to Marie and she started to shrink into a small plant. Even Ursula was shocked. She stopped the transformation. "What's this?"

Marie smirked at her as the orange was still swirling around her. "Marie is only my middle name. My REAL name is Ariel. You got me not her."

Ursula somehow didn't mine and smirked. "Hmmm…even better." Then she turned to King Triton.

"But I am able to make a trade off," Icy continued, "for someone even more valuable."

Meanwhile on the surface, it had gotten stormy that night because of the negative energy radiating off of Ursula's dark powers. Eric had jumped off the Royal Wedding ship onto a lifeboat and began rowing towards the middle of the water to try and find Ariel.

"Eric, what are you going?!" Grimsby shouted.

"I've lost her once! I'm going to loose her again!" Erik protested.

Back with Ursula, Marie and Ariel watched King Triton and Ursula was holding up a new contract.

Marie yelled, "Don't' do this! I'll be all right! Ariel's is save. You don't have to do that."

Triton looked at her. "I'm sorry Marie. If only I listened. This is the only way I can end my anger against the humans."

Ursula asked taunting, "Do we have a deal?"

Triton answered by using his triton and erase Marie's name and put his on it. He would take Marie's place as Ursula's plant for all eternity. He knew that the girls was young and still had a lot to learn, and her determination to meet Eric and to for full the mission was stronger than anything he can do.

"It's done then!" Ursula laughed as Marie got big again, and King Triton was turned into a plant, leaving his crown and triton on the ground.

Sebastian started to mourn. "You're magesty."

"Daddy?" Layla.

Marie said, "This isn't the way."

"At last. It's mine." Ursula laugh wickedly as sheput on the crown and held up the triton in her hands.

"You monster!" Ariel screamed, lunging at Icy defensively.

"Don't you mess with me little brat! Contract or-" Icy shouted. Suddenly, Ursula was hit by a harpoon. She turned and saw him.

Ursula shouted, "After him!" So Flotsam and Jetsam swam up, chasing after Eric as he swam to the surface. He made it up for a minute, only to be pulled down again by the two evil eels.

"Coming!" Sebastian shouted as he and Flounder began attacking the 2, and while they were distracted, they set Eric free. Sebastian pinched one on the tail as Flounder began fighting with the other. When they let go, the two evil sisters looked stunned.

"Say goodbye to your sweet heart." Ursula laughed, turning King Triton's staff towards Eric who was swimming there, losing air quickly. Ariel and Marie gasped in terror as they pulled Ursula back by the hair before she could attack, and instead of hitting Eric, she hit both eels.

"Babies! My poor little poopies." Icy glared at Ariel and Marie while they began swimming Eric to the surface so he could get some air in his lungs. Ursula used her dark powers combined with the power of Triton's staff to make herself grow with fury and hunger for vengeance from the defeat of her two sisters. Flounder and Sebastian could see the power surrounding Icy and gasped to wonder what would happen next.

On the surface, Eric and Ariel swam toward each other as He held the mermaid princess in his arms. Marie found a drift wood to hang on.

"Eric, you have to get away from here!" Ariel protested.

"No, I won't leave you!" Eric told Ariel with fierce determination. Just then, the water below them began to light up and bubble with dark energy, and Icy emerged from the water, making Ariel and Eric separate in between the points of the crown on the gigantic evil ice powered mermaid as Ursula laughed triumphantly. Knowing they had to be together no matter what, Ariel and Eric jumped a far distance from the top of Ursula's head to the surface of the water and began their embrace once again, the 2 holding each other for dear life as Ursula's booming laugh surrounded them.

"You pitiful insignificant fools!" She laughed in a bellowing voice as she raised a few of he tentacles.

"Watch out!" Eric shouted as they swam in either direction of one of them.

"Now that I am the rule of the oceans, the waves will do all of my bidding!" Ursula continued loudly as she created a huge storm, making Eric fall away from Princess Ariel.

"Eric!" Ariel screamed out. Marie swam to her. This time her locket was glowing brightly. Then Marie heard something in her ear. 'Princess Light…make up.' Marie didn't know where the voice was coming from but she yelled it out. "PRINCESS LIGHT…MAKE UP!" Then she transformed in to a new form, her scout form. Then she turned to Ariel. "Ariel! You are a scout I need you help! Tell me what makes you a princess?! What makes you follow your dream?!"

Ariel thought long and hard. "I couldn't speak to Eric the whole 3 days but he thinks I'm pretty and he loves me for me despite my talent is gone." Then something was glowing infront of her. It was a small aquamarine light.

Meanwhile at the palace where the royals are. Mickey noticed a light glowing from the chest. He opened it and saw it was one of the stones. Oswald saw it too. "She did it! She found one!"

Back at the girls, Marie said, "That's your royal element. It's beauty! You didn't care about looks, but Eric fell in love you!" She covered herself from the waves.

Ariel then realized it herself. "You're right! He loved me for me. For what I am!" Then the light got bigger and it became a fancy light blue seashell broach and inside was an aquamarine jem.

Marie said. "You must say, Princess Beauty…Make up! We can distract her so Eric and go against her!"

"The ocean and all they occupy it will be force to bow to my immeasurable powers!" Ursula proclaimed, now making a whirlpool on the surface of the water, lifting ships from the bottom of the ocean back to the surface.

Marie shouted, "Hurry!"

Ariel felt a power going through her as she held it on her hand. Then she shouted, "PRINCESS BEAUTY…MAKE UP!" Then she transformed into her scout form giving her legs again. Ariel looked at her scout form and then up at Ursula.

Ursula saw them. "What the?!"

Marie shouted. "How dare you created chaos, kidnapping mermaids, force deals and working for the All Evil! I'm Sailor Light!"

Ariel was next. "You cause my home of the land and sea enough trouble! It's time to end you once and for all! I'm Sailor Beauty!"

Then both shouted, "IN THE NAME OF ALLS THAT'S GOOD…WE SHALL PUNISH YOU!"

Ursula merely laugh at them. "You think your new 'scout' powers will defeat me? I think not!" then she lifted a chin and there was a white glowing pentagram where her locket used to be. "It's thanks to him I'm all powerful and I'll use my gift against you!"

The girls started to attack. Marie was the first. "Blind Light Blast!" She fired a beam of light from her jewel on her forehead and manage to cut a few tentacles off.

Ariel was next. "Mermaid Typhoon Monsoon!" She made some water appear and aimed it at Ursula trying to know the triton out of her hands.

Though it did hurt Ursula, she hits the wood they were one and the scout went into the whirlpool, and Ursula used the opportunity to bring them to an end by using Triton's staff on them. Ariel and Marie looked up at the top of the whirlpool and tried to attack while they dodge Ursula's attacks.

Eric saw what had just happened and began running toward the wheel of the wrecked ship.

"So much for true love!" She laughed viciously as she lifted Triton's staff and aimed it right at the scouts as their eyes widened in total fear. On the wrecked ship, Eric let down a spear, and rode the boat right into the heart of the evil sea-witch. And with the multiple lightening strikes in the sky, one hit Ursula's huge body as well, and she began glowing with electricity and sinking before finally dissolving into ocean's depths.

Eric managed to climb back on the shore while the wrecked ships returned to the bottom of the sea, and Triton's staff dropped from the surface of the sea toward Ursula's lair, and with its power, it released all the mer-people who Ursula had held captive for so long, and they all swam away happily and relieved to be free. And then the staff fell to the bottom of the sea, right where it's rightful possessor was trapped, and the positive energy of the staff set the King of Atlantica free at last. Now he was once again ruler of the oceans, and everything was back to its normal glory.

On the surface, Princess Ariel, in her mermaid form and her compact became a locket, watched the exhausted Prince Eric, and wished to be with him once more.

Triton, Flounder, Marie, in her mermaid form, and Sebastian watched Ariel sadly stare at her beloved from afar, and it made Triton sad to see his daughter unhappy.

"She really does love him. Doesn't she Marie." He began. "Tell me, what is the original ending?

Marie said, "In the book which it was based off, the prince does marry the wrong girl. Then the little mermaid's sisters came and have her a knife, which they traded their hair for. If she stabs him she can be a mermaid again. But she didn't and turned into sea-foam but her soul went to heaven and became an angel for children. I will admit though, the ending I saw growing up, was the best one yet not like the book."

Triton turned to Sebastian. "And you?"

"It's like I always say, children need to live their own lives in order to make mistakes." Sebastian pointed out.

Triton asked, "You always say that?" Sebastian chuckled in embarrassment. "Then I guess there is one problem left." Triton sighed sadly.

Sebastian asked, "What's that?"

"How much I'm going to miss her." He replied.

Marie put a hand on his arm and gave him a smile. And so, he used his own staff to send a spell toward sad and heartbroken Ariel to turn her back into a human permanently. Ariel looked up as she saw the bright light in the water, and smiled brightly at her dad.

Eric woke and saw Ariel coming from the ocean in a beautiful sparkling blue dress. He quickly sat up when he saw her walk out of the water. He ran straight for her and twirled her in his arms before they shared a passionate kiss.

They broke the kiss and Ariel mentions Marie to them. Marie swam to them and as soon as she touched land, she had her legs again. Ariel hugged her. "Thank you so much Ariel Marie. You're a true friend."

Before the wedding started, Marie, in her peasent clothes was helping Ariel in her wedding dress. "You look so beautiful Ariel."

Ariel replied, "Thanks Marie. I'm sorry there wasn't enough time to get you dress." She put on her crown and veil.

Marie said, "Don't worry. It's alright. Besides I don't think I looked in one anyway." She put Ariel's transformation locket around her neck. Then Marie's locked glowed and soon she was in a ball gown.

Ariel laughed. "Do you still hate that thing?"

Marie just smiles and shook her head. "Not anymore, though I have to admit, it has great taste." She handed Ariel her flowers, "Now let's make your dream come true."

Soon Princess Ariel of Atlantica and Prince Eric were finally got married, and they shared the beautiful kiss of matrimony. Everyone, both fins or feet, was invited to this wedding, and just like Triton had thought, his youngest daughter would bring about a whole new union between the land and ocean occupants.

Everyone cheered, and even Carlotta began crying happily. All of Ariel's sisters waved happily at her from the surface of the water, and Scuttle tried to fly Flounder up toward Ariel so that they all could share in a friendly hug and kiss.

Meanwhile, Sebastian managed to get on top of the wedding cake, and watched as the castle chef, one of the very few in Louis who liked to eat fish, began to chase him once again with a cleaver. As he dodged the attack, the chef cut the cake down the middle, but did not wreck its beauty. The chef continued to chase Sebastian across the deck of the Royal Wedding ship, until Sebastian got an idea and remembered what Marie said. He snipped a rope, which was attached to a pole, and the pole hit the chef right in the face, knocking out all his teeth. When the chef was distracted, Sebastian jumped back into the water with Flounder and Scuttle. "Yes," He shouted then bowed, "Thank you thank you."

On the ship, Ariel walked up to the edge of the boat in her beautiful wedding dress, and Triton used the waves of the surface of the ocean to lift himself up to see her. He looked at his daughter proudly, and embraced her in a hug.

"I love you daddy!" Layla whispered.

Then everyone started to sing as once she got her hug, she turned back toward Eric, who bowed before the King, and as Triton departed, Ariel blew him a kiss. "Now we can walk! Now we can run! Now we can stay all day in the sun! Just you and me! And I can be, Part of Your World!"

Eric walked up to Ariel as they both waved to the people of Atlantica. In joyous celebration of the union of the land and sea, Triton created an incredibly colorful rainbow in the sky with his staff for all to see. And as the Royal Wedding Ship set sail for their honeymoon, Eric pulled Ariel in for a romantic and passionate kiss.

Days passed into 2 weeks and Marie was waiting for them to come back. Since the mission, the Hatbox ghost didn't come back so she figured she had to bring her to get the rest of the scouts. Marie was waiting on the beach looking at the sea with her head in her hands and her elbows on her knees. Then her eyes were covered and heard a voice whispered in her ear. "Guess who?"

Marie smiled and pulled the hands out of the way and turned her head to see Ariel. "You're back." The 2 started to hug each other. "How was your honeymoon?" Marie asked.

Ariel answered, "It was wonderful."

Then there was a blind light above them and then something appears on the beach. Then light dimmed down and it was a buggy and the Hatbox ghost on top. He tipped his hat. "Hello ladies."

Ariel asked, "Is that the Hatbox ghost?"

Marie sweat-dropped at the 'grand entrance' he picked. "Yep that's him."

Hatbox got off of the buggy and walked to them. "I'm so glad to find you 2. King Mickey is really happy you found the first scout."

Marie said, "He better. It wasn't easy fighting a kraken like hag."

Hatbox said, "Well it's time to find the others now and Princess Ariel has to go with us."

Ariel asked, "You mean I can't stay?"

Marie glared at him. "Come on dude. She has her happy life now. We can't take it away from her."

Ariel put a hand on Marie's shoulder. "Wait. I do want to help and if I have to go with you then I will. Just let me be with Eric until tonight please."

Hatbox shrugged. "Sure. Why not? I'm not really in a hurry anyway."

The girls smiled and kissed his cheek. "Thank you." The girls held hands as they went up to the castle.

What they didn't know is that they are being watched. In a dark room where a big crystal ball was in the middle there were people around it. It was the villains.

"I'm not surprise they beat her so easily." Said Gaston.

Lady Tremaine said, "She was always the weakest of us."

Maleficent said, "Not surprised that our master abandoned her when she went rouge."

"But now we see how the scouts appear, we can stop the rest from coming." Said the evil queen.

Jafar said, "And when we do end them for good the worlds will be ours."

Then all the villains in that room put their hands on each-other's shoulders making a pentagram and looked up and all said together, "For our master."
