Wren lies on the beach and Ariel gazes from a distance seated on a rock.

Triton and Sebastian look on.

"He really does love him, doesn't she, Sebastian?" King Triton sighs.

Sebastian nods, "Well, it's like I always say, Your Majesty. Children got to be free to lead their own lives."

"You - always say that?" King Triton sighs again, "Then I guess there's just one problem left."

"And what's that, Your Majesty?" Sebastian hummed.

"How much I'm going to miss him."

Sebastian looks up at Triton. The King's trident glows and he touches it to the water. It forms a glowing golden path to Ariel.

He looks down, surprised as his tail glows and smiles at his father.

Wren wakes up and sees Ariel rising from the water, wearing a shimmering purple gown. He walks towards him, arms open wide, on legs.

Wren runs to him and twirls him around. Their lips meet in a long awaited kiss.

On their wedding day, Max jumps up between them and licks them.

Guests on the ship cheer. Carlotta cries and uses Grimsby's handkerchief as a napkin. In the ocean, merpeople gather around the ship and wave. Triton and Ariel's mersisters smile and wave. Scuttle brings Flounder up to the side of the ship. Scuttle flaps away and winks. Ariel kisses him and pats Scuttle's head.

On the wedding cake, Sebastian sits between two cake toppers of Ariel and Wren. He hugs them, smiling tearfully. Suddenly, he sees Louis raising a knife over him. He jumps off and the chef cuts the cake in half. He scampers down the walkway as Louis throws a knife at him and chases him around the deck. Sebastian snips a rope with his claw and a wooden beam swings into Louis' face. His teeth fall out and he collapses. Sebastian jumps into the water between Scuttle and Flounder.

Sebastian bowed, "Yes, Thank you, thank you."

On the ship, Ariel looks over the railing at his father. A fountain of water raises him up and they hug.

"I love you Daddy."

Behind them, Wren bows to King Triton. Triton nods, smiling at the human. Touching Ariel's cheek, Triton returns to the water. Ariel blows him a kiss. Wren steps up and Ariel slips his arm through Wren's.

In the water, Triton sweeps his trident in the air, forming a sparkling rainbow in the sky. The merpeople wave as the ship sails off and they dive below the water. Ariel and Wren kiss, cheers floating through their ears.
