The Sea King had been watching through his magical visions. 

"I must send them help" he said.

He arrived in my office just as I wrote another symphony. 

"Sebastian. My youngest daughter and her adoptive sisters have lost their father and turned back into mermaids. You must help them so that Ursula doesn't enslave them" said King Triton.

"But Your Majesty, I cannot go after those headstrong teenagers. I am just a crustacean" I said.

"You will do as I say. They need help" said the Sea King. 

Of course, I could not refuse the king's orders.

I found the girls outside a cave.

"Ariel, what are we doing here?" said Belle.

"I wanna show you girls something. I think it might make up for the fact that we're doomed to be mermaids forever" said Ariel.

"We could argue with that one, but..." said Livvy.

The girls entered the cave. 

"What is this place?" said Livvy.

"This was my treasure collection when I lived in the sea" said Ariel.

"Wow. This is a heck of a collection you got here, sister" said Belle.

"I know. And that's just the beginning. Come on" said Ariel.

She showed her sisters a guitar that she had in her collection.

"That's Daddy's guitar" said Belle.

"Yeah. I thought it looked familiar. I knew you girls would like to see a little of Daddy while he's gone and we're mermaids" said Ariel.

"That's very nice, Ariel, but we need to focus on our needs now" said Livvy.

"Yeah. We gotta get our legs back again and we don't even know anymore where to start" said Belle.

The sisters exited the cave and a little fish swam by.

"Ariel?" said the fish.

"Flounder!" said Ariel.

"Who are they?" said Flounder.

"That's Belle and Livvy Cook. My sisters" said Ariel.

"But your sisters are at home" said Flounder.

"These are my adoptive sisters. And we need your help. We need to become human again and defeat the Slugasaurus" said Ariel.

I knew what I had to do.

"Ariel! Livvy! Belle!" I called.

"Uh, who are you?" said Livvy.

"I am Sebastian. And I believe I might be able to help you" I said.

"Oh, please, Sebastian! We have to do something" said Ariel.

"Ariel. You must relax for a while. You three have lost your father and your freedom in one night" I said.

"Yes. But we have to get one of those things back." said Belle.

"We were too late for our father, but maybe there's still time for our freedom" said Livvy.

"Yes. But until then, come with me. I will take you to the palace and let you rest" I said.

"Well... alright. Thanks" said Ariel.
