What Waverly looks like (in photo above)

When I wake up, I caress my hair, long and beautiful, down to my waist. Wait. My hair is short now... I pull a strand of my hair to my face, it's blonde, and long. I jerk up off my solid water bed. MY TAIL. My tail's beautiful gold has turned silver! No! I swim over to where my mirror stands. My face is different too. WTF. I take my ComShell and call the Queen.
"What's happening to me!" I yell-whisper through the phone.
"Darling, you have an Electric Soul. I knew you had more to you than just shapeshifting. I felt the energy within you."

"So what exactly does that mean...?"

"It means after about 24 hours of being in a different ocean, your body changes into a different form, basically adapting." The Queen explains to me.
"Electric Souls are not only capable of adapting, but they can control their look-changing to however they want to look. I can teach you how to do that, I am an Electric Soul myself, but you may not tell anyone that. Or tell anyone that you, yourself is one either." the Queen finally finishes.

"So have you controlled it so you can be so... Uh.." I feel awkward asking this.

"Beautiful? No. Your mother and I are both naturally unearthly beautiful, even if we look nothing like each other." the Queen explains.

"Okay... When can we start?" Im more excited than I thought. I can change my face! My entire body! This will be fun.

"Right now. I'll come over right away." The Queen sounds excited.
I almost forgot we were talking through the ComShells.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After about 5 hours of practice, me and the Queen have had so much fun, I was even successful in making myself look like the Queen. It felt weird, I almost went back into my new Pacific Ocean form but quickly corrected myself back to Atlantic, my real form. I make my hair my old length too. Glad to have my gold and blue tail back, the Queen and I head to the main hall, where the Queen has a meeting to attend. She seems to want to spend as much time as possible with me so I'm basically her escort to her meeting. We're laughing and talking the whole way.

Finally, I'm on my own and able to take a rest. That doesn't happen because as soon as I'm about to head back to my suite, through the massive from doors swim my mother, Mia, Aislon and Wren. They still think I'm dead.
Wren suddenly sees me. His eyes widen and he propels himself towards me. He scoops me up, we kiss.
When I finally open my eyes and look up at him, he's crying. "You're a merman!"
"You're ALIVE!"
I guess his excitement is more understandable.
My mother, Aislon and Mia are joining us, each hugging me in turn, even Aislon.
"Why are you here!?!" Mia asks.
"Well I woke up in the grave, the Queen told me I had caught a rare sickness that causes you to "die" for a short while. I was caught by some palace guards and brought here. Then the Queen appointed me as her official successor to the throne." I finish, enjoying the shocked expressions of my friends and mom.

"Mom, meet your sister." I say after I turn to see the Queen coming up behind us.
The Queen nods gracefully and places her hand on my shoulder.

"Remember how our mother's first pregnancy was a miscarriage? Well, not exactly. She did it with the King at the time, and had me. She pretended it was a miscarriage because she didn't want to be known as Queen. She passed me off to my father, different father than yours Waverly. After that I became Queen. "
The Queen finishes.
"And hello dear great-nephew Aislon." The Queen smiles warmly at Aislon.

My mother's gaping expression makes me laugh a bit.
"My sister is the Queen... My daughter will be future Queen..." My mother mumbles disbelievingly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A few hours after my family and friends met the Queen, me and Mia are hanging out in our suite, Wren and Aislon are hanging out with some of the male guards.
My mother is spending some sisterly bonding time with the Queen.
"So how are we supposed to bring down our auntie?" Mia asks darkly.
"I really don't want to. She's become a friend to me! Why do we have to complete this prophecy anyways!" I ask, feeling annoyed with everyone but the Queen. No one seems to understand that I can be friends with my auntie, the person I need to overthrow.
"Why don't we just live in peace here until the Queen dies and I take her place! It would do the same thing. Besides, I don't think I can rule all the oceans yet, and I'm officially made the next queen, or who knows what happens if I break the contract." I reason.

"I see your point." Mia huffs.

"Although, I could always slip some poison in her cup." I say, doubtfully.

Sorry for the long boring chapter, and the kinda cheesy name. Hope you enjoyed!
