My dad takes me to Myrtle Beach. He starts walking in, and I follow him remembering I can breathe in the water. He takes my hand and we swim together.
It's amazing! I feel the salt water rubbing against my body- my body? My shirt and pants are missing, replaced with a tail and a scaly bra. Purple isn't really my color but it kind of suits me.
I look over at my father and he has the same tail as me.
"We are here."
I look in front, and I see a door. My dad steps out and motions for me to go in. I open the door and I am swept inside a portal! I'm turning so much I feel dizzy.
I wake up to a field, underwater of course. My mom is sitting, watering the flowers. She runs to me, with a look of fear and gratefulness plastered on her face.
"Am I dreaming Mum?"
"No, this is very much real. Are you okay? I heard the Apocalypse is here. Attacking your land.."
"Yeah, they are after- what is her real name?"
"Her name is Ursula. Not from story books, she is much more vile than that. And plus that Ursula is made up for laughs."
"Oh. Well, we need a favor."
"Who is we?"
At that time, my father pops out the portal. My mom looks in disgust, getting her pitcher. She swings at him, but he catches it.
"Chill Ariel. I'm here to help."
She looks from him, to me, to him.
"Mom he is good now. He even divorced Ursula."
"What does that have to do with anything? He is still the lying monster he has always been."
My dad looks away, ashamed of what he did to her.
"Mom please. Work with us, just for this. Then you can carry on your life without him."
"Fine, I agree. I guess.. now what do you need me to do?"
"We need you to help us destroy the monsters."
"What!?!? I would never help Ursula. She deserves what comes at her."
"Mom those monsters are going to destroy the land!"
"Hm. Still, it's not like you won't be able to escape."
"My friends!!"
"Chloe will survive."
"Wait. I never told you about Chloe."
"Moving ON, I will help you. But you owe me."
"Of course. Thank you!"
My mom takes us to the land, not forgetting her staff. She takes it out, about to do her magic, but then it disappears.
