King Triton, the king of Atlantica, rose frorm the depths, and stared; first at the land, then at a potion in his hand - it reminded him of one of the potions he and his guards had retrieved from the long dead Ursula's sea cave, before they destroyed it.

"I just hope this potion I made works." he muttered. "At least it's better than that Ursula's." He shuddered, remembering the horrid sea witch that had caused his daughter and him so much trouble before.

He stared at said potion anxiously. Part of him felt like wanting to drink it, but a nagging part of him didn't really want to. He took a deep breath, and calmed his nerves... as best he could anyway.

"If it helps me see my daughter Ariel on land for a day till sunset... so be it." he sighed. He took a deep breath, held his nose, opened his mouth, and chugged the whole potion.

and then, the changes began.

He stared at his reflection, as bright light surrounded his body. Immediately, his crown and golden bracelets disappeared.

He could imagine an extremely sharp knife cutting into his tail, splitting it right down the middle, even going through his tail fin. But bizarrely, it didn't seem to hurt.

He saw the scales slowly fading, being replaced by skin in the colour of his own. The transition was surprisingly difficult to find, it was gradiated between several inches. In fact, Triton couldn't view and recognize both sides at the same time, it was too much of a blur. What were scales on one side slowly became goosebumps, then freckles on human skin.

the fins on the ends seemed to be turning into a foot shape, one for the left, one for the right.

Triton almost felt his body shrink a bit too, to the size of the average adult man.

Soon, the light faded, and then, Triton dragged himself into a small shallow lagoon near the beach, and then, he lifted up his right leg, seeing his now human leg. His jaw hung. "I don't believe it." he muttered, "it worked. I've... become... human." He wriggled his now human toes. He glanced toward his reflection in the water again. He still kept his muscular torso, and white hair and beard.

It took him time to stand up, since he wasn't quite used to human legs, like his daughter had once been before. Only, unlike her, he didn't have to make a deal with an evil sea witch.

also, It took him time to move with his new human legs, too - but he managed.

Ariel, by this time, had seen a naked man on the beach near her castle. Immediately, almost in 27 and a half seconds, she recognized from the beard who this man really was.

"Daddy?" she said, surprised. SHe headed down and hugged the human version of her father.

"Ariel!" said Triton. "I just thought I'd visit for a day."

"Oh?" said Ariel, surprised. "But what about your-"

"Don't worry about the palace, Ariel," said Triton. "I got my head guard to manage things whilst I was away."

"Well, that's great, Daddy." Ariel said. She noticed that her father was struggling to walk on his new legs. "Don't worry," she said, "I'll show you how to walk on human legs."

"Thanks, Ariel." Triton said, hugging his daughter. 'I knew I had a wonderful daughter who grew up to follow her heart.' he mused. As Ariel headed off, he called, "Ariel, can you do one thing for me?"

"What is it?" asked Ariel. She saw her father, now using some seaweed to hide his apparently new genitals.

"I Don't suppose you could get me some pants?" he asked.


A/n:

I based this story off of a fanfic on A03, called Fish Tales, but without all the spanking, and evilness by Gaston. [That fanfic was a crossover with Beauty & the Beast, btw.]

Well, I think there's no King Triton turning human stories on yet.
