Ch.3

Flounder swam around sadly. Ariel couldn't recognize him. He'd have to start from scratch. He sighed. This was going to be so much harder than he thought. The pretty redheaded mermaid was still worried about him. Flounder mentally kicked himself for this. Then he heard a faint humming.

Ariel swam around picking little sea pants and placed them in a basket. She saw him and smiled. "Hey, Lucas!"

He waved back. He knew she was just in a fight with her father. He could see the bruise on her arm from where he grabbed her and the small slash on her back from where he probably ran his trident. He frowned. She swam over to him and stopped about 3 inches from his face. "How are you?"

Flounder swam back a bit. "I'm good."

"Great!" She smiled. "Hey, can I ask you something?"

"Yes?"

"Have you seen what it's like up there?"

Flounder shook his head. "Not really. I went up once but I couldn't get a good look."

This was true. Last time he went up with Ariel, the waves kept splashing over him and he couldn't see anything. He had nodded and acted excited as Ariel talked about. "I heard it's quite beautiful, …" he added.

Ariel nodded excitedly. "Oh it is!"

She told him all the amazing things she saw up there. She didn't forget about the man she saw. She went on and on about how handsome he was. Flounder tried not to gag. He listened to her though. This was a problem when the person you liked happened to like someone else. They will tell you all about that person and you will listen. The reason you'll listen is because you'll want to see what they want from you. Flounder knew what she wanted. She wanted legs. She wanted to walk up there with the people. She wanted to know about the world. She wanted all the things he couldn't give.

"I have to go! See you later Lucas!"

Flounder waved weakly. He felt like crying. It seemed Ariel didn't care he was gone. He felt a pang in his heart when she talked about the man. Ariel was so far from his reach that he couldn't take it. But he wanted her to love him. So he would keep putting himself through all the pain for her.

Little did Flounder know, that as soon as Ariel left, she went to see the sea witch to grant her wish of being human.

XxX

Ariel swam into the dark lair without a care in the world. The sea witch was throwing things into a pot while enchanting when she entered. The sea witch looked at the mermaid and scowled. The little mermaid didn't belong here.

Ariel swam toward her. "Please make me human …"

Ursula growled. The poor little fish didn't succeed yet. Here was the most important thing to him, asking to give up her life to be a human of all things! Ursula scoffed. "Why should I?"

Ariel pouted. "I thought you aren't allowed to refuse people."

The sea witched sighed. "I'm not. But I need some …payment …"

Ariel looked at her. "Like?"

"How about your voice?"

"My voice? How will I talk to him?"

The little mermaid annoyed Ursula more and more. "You don't need your voice! Men don't like women who talk to much!"

Ariel looked down and nodded. "Okay …"

Ursula smiled. "Okay …please sign here. You will have three days to win him over or else you will turn into a mermaid again." She snapped her fingers and a contract appeared. Ariel signed. Suddenly a bright light took hold of Ariel.

"Sing sweetie!"

Ariel sung a few bars and suddenly she was human. She began to panic but finally made her way to the surface.

Ursula watched her swim away sadly. She held the small shell that contained her voice. She threw a few things into her pot along with the shell. "Keep the little fish from finding out what the love of his life has done. Keep his heart from breaking. Keep him going strong. Let Ariel see the wrong she's done."

From the pot rose an Ariel look-a-like. "Hello!" The clone said in Ariel's perky voice. The sea witch smiled sadly. "Keep the little fish company would you?"

The clone nodded excitedly.

Ursula gulped. All she could hope is that Poseidon didn't find out what she had done. It would end terribly for the two kids, and her. She turned to the two eels. "Make sure Ariel doesn't succeed. I'll make the preparations to take them and leave."

The eels nodded and swam up to keep and eye on her.

-End-

A/n: What is Ursula planning? What is going to happen? I know! loll ...anyways! I hope you liked it!
