The Mermaid and The Prince

The Third Day

"So what's the plan?" Amu asked, "And where did you get that then?"

"All you have to do is help get her there. This potion will stall time."

"That's great . . . but what does it do?" Amu irritably asked him. "Is he always like this?" Sera shakes her head,

"I burrowed this from the Sea Witch. When I accidently wandered into her cavern when she wasn't there." Leo put took two fingers from each hand and moved them around when he said 'burrow'.

"So you stole it." Amu quips.

"All right, fine, I stole some potions from her . . . big deal . . . she's evil, we all know it now." Leo laughs. Sera touches Amu on the arm, making a gesture to get him to talk about the plan.

"We're wasting precious time?"

"Oh right . . ." Leo opens the potion as he pours the potion into the water. The ocean glows, as ice particles start forming on the bottom of the ship, icy stairs began to form. Leo screams out a loud roar as Sera covers her ears. Leo's roar was like an earthquake. It echoed throughout the ocean floor.

"Must you be so loud?" Amu angrily scowls as she uncovers her ears.

A whole bunch of animals surfaced from the ocean water to Sera and Amu's surprise. Sea Lions, Dolphins, Seagulls etc.

"All right, I told you all of the plan. Now let's move . . ." Leo demands. As the rest of the animals disappeared, the two dolphins dive back in with their back's turned so Sera and Amu can jump on. "Sera, Amu those dolphins will take you to the ship. The other animals are going to stall the wedding until you get there." Leo informs them.

"What about you?"

"I need to inform Father about this . . . and his trident powers can surpass the Sea Witches and stop her."

Sera and Amu nod as they jump in the water as they struggle a but as they manage to grab ahold of the dolphin fin as they swim off. It was getting closer to sunset. Sera only wondered if they can make it there in time. If she can get that kiss before night fell. She would remain human for good.

Meanwhile on the ship . . .

Tusk was best man for the wedding, but he still believed that this whole arrangement wasn't a good match. This girl named Hikaru came out of no where. There was just something very off about her. Yamato wasn't acting like himself either. Last time he talked to him, Yamato was all but certain he was in love with Sera and was going to forget about the mysterious girl that rescued him.

Mario however was happy he finally found someone he wanted to marry. Not knowing the girls true intentions.

Hikaru was in her wedding dress as she started to walk down the aisle, looking at the sun, knowing it was only a matter of time before it sets. Yamato of course was still hypnotized. She could only smirk evilly. Then she heard a noise as she looked up a the sky. It was seagulls as they swooped down. "Get away from me." She quickly goes to where Yamato was . . . she wasn't get let anything ruining her evil plan. She just needed to hold off the creatures until Sera and Amu became Mermaid's again. That's all she wanted after all. She had no careness for marrying the human Prince. All she wanted was to make sure he particually didn't kiss Sera. She touches her seashell necklace, knowing she still carried the Princesses voice.

"Dearly beloved . . . we have gathered here today." The elderly Minister began to preach, "Do you Prince Yamato take Hikaru as your wife to have and to hold from this day forward . . ."

"I do." Yamato hypnotically says.

"And do you Hikaru . . . " As the Minister continues she could hear the sound of seagulls again. The Sea Witch screams as she dropped her bouquet as a starfish attaches onto her face. She tries to pull it off as sea lions toss her around like they were throwing a ball on their nose. Tusk and Mario look on puzzled, questioning how any of these sea creatures got onto the cruise liner. "take Prince Yamato as your husband . . ." the Minister continues not realizing the so-called bride was being attacked my groups of sea creatures.

"Put me down, you're assaulting your future ruler. You miserable, disgusting pieces of slime." She angrily tells them as she lands on her face. Taking the starfish off her face. She throws it down, stepping on it with her heel. The Sea Witch picks up her bouquet, trying fix her dress. As she looks up, Octopus's squirt ink in her face. As one of the Seagulls tries to grab the necklace, knowing that's how the Sea Witch was using Sera's voice.

As Sera and Amu step foot onto the ship

"NOOOOO!" The Sea Witch cries out as the shell smashes to pieces on the deck. Angrily the Sea Witch pushes away the seagull, not before grabbing it's beak on the bracelet as it slides off, smashing it into several pieces. Her plans were completely falling apart.

Two balls of light glittered like snow as the blue light went into Sera's mouth as she touches her throat. Amu closed her as the ball of light absorbed into her.

"My head hurts." Amu admits. All her memories came back to her. She was a Mermaid, Sera was her best friend. She already had feelings for Tusk. Even without her memories, she still had fallen for her. So she knew for sure how much she loved him.

"Are you okay, Miss?" Tusk asked her as he held out his hand as Amu placed it in his, as she stared into his eyes.

"Amu! My name is Amu." She corrects him, as she blushes bashfully.

"You remember?"

"Yes, I remember everything. I also remember that I love you."

"You love me?" Tusk questioned.

"Every since I saved you . . ."

"You're the one that saved me?" Tusk questioned again, trying to connect everything together.

"Yes . . ." Tusk touched her cheek, as they were inches away from kissing. . .

"Yamato." Sera softly says him name. Happily she could finally say it out loud.

"You can talk . . ."

The Sea Witch still in her human form, was outraged . . .

"Yamato, get away from her." Her voice was back to normal, she no longer had her voice in disguised as she holds her throat.

"Are you the one that saved me?" Yamato questioned to her.

"I wanted to tell you . . ." As they were about to kiss the sunsets.

"HA HA HA!" You're too late." The Sea Witch happily announces. She retransforms back her original form. Everyone looks on in horror as she grabs Sera. She holds her tightly as Sera struggles to break free. "Say goodbye to your Prince Charming . . ." As she jumps with Sera off the ship back into the ocean . . .

"SERA!" Yamato screams as he looks over the ship to see where they have landed in the water.

"SERA!" Amu calls out, as she turned around. Realizing her friend was in trouble and wanting to aide her but since also failed to kiss Tusk, she holds out her chest too. She sits down as she watches her own tail fin form under her dress. Tusk's shocked that she was also a mermaid.
