The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea Page #2

If you ask me,

she's a little strange.

I heard she actually

talks to fish.

It should make for

an interesting party.

I miss you, Daddy.

I wish you could

be here with us.

Mother?

What are you doing?

Uh, nothing.

L-I'll be right up!

Melody?

I'm ready.

Here. Let me help.

So, we're having

a bad hair day.

If we were, you wouldn't

be helping, would you?

Well, I'm just here to let you know

there are a lot of people downstairs...

Oh, we'll be right down.

Give us two minutes.

Right, two...

Now where have I heard that before?

Mom, put down the brush.

It's hopeless.

Oh. You look beautiful.

Do I have to do this?

Everybody thinks I'm weird.

Oh, honey, everyone has trouble

fitting in at your age.

I know I did.

I was a regular

fish out of water.

You? No way.

I'm just so afraid I'm gonna

make a total fool of myself.

Melody, this isn't

just about the party...

is it?

Is there something

you want to talk about?

You know you can always

tell me anything.

Well, okay.

I mean, it's kind of crazy

and sort of impossible.

Now, don't freak,

but what I dream about...

more than anything

in the whole world...

How's it coming?

Oh, Melody.

Is that you?

You look beautiful.

He's right.

Now, we'll talk later.

You're going to have a wonderful

time tonight. Trust me.

May I present

Her Royal Highness...

Princess Melody.

Oh, yeah. Mom's right.

I can do this.

Um, hi.

Would you like to dance?

Go on.

Sure. Okay.

- Oh, no!

- That's it.

I'm booking meself

on a cruise.

- I'm so sorry.

- Well, I should say!

- Are you okay, Sebastian?

- So.

Who is she talking to?

She's talking to a crab!

You!

Saboteur!

You're going

in ze bouillabaisse!

No, Louis!

You don't wanna do this, man!

I'm old!

I'm not tender any more!

No!

Melody!

Death to the crab!

Oh, Louis!

Oh, sweetheart,

I'm so sorry.

- What's wrong with me?

- Oh, nothing's wrong with you.

Mom, I'm the princess of disaster.

Being a teenager I-is hard,

and, uh...

all kids your age feel...

a-awkward.

- And, um...

- Melody?

What is this?

My name's on here.

That song.

Where have I heard it?

It's Atlantica.

With merpeople and everything.

Mother, you always said

it was just an old fish tale.

Where did you get this?

L... I found it.

You went over the wall,

didn't you?

Actually, I went under it.

I hate that stupid wall.

Melody, you know you're

not allowed in the sea.

But why? And why does

that necklace have my name on it?

- Melody, listen to me.

- You're hiding something from me.

Y-You deliberately disobeyed me!

I never want you going out there again!

Do you hear me?

It's dangerous in the sea!

How would you know?

You've never even been in it!

M-Melody, I...

Oh, no.

Ariel, darling...

we knew this day would come.

Oh, Eric.

You're right. It's time

I trusted her with the truth.

Oh, now, child,

it's gonna be okay.

You know,

when I was a teenager...

you couldn't get me

out of my shell for nothin'.

I had this high,

squeaky voice...

and these itty-bitty

little pincers.

And then one day, boom!

I sound like Caruso...

and these whoppers pop out!

Young lady, just where

do you think you're going?

I've gotta figure this out.

This necklace means something...

and if no one's gonna tell me...

I'm gonna find out myself.

Melody, please!

You're making a big mistake!

Oh, this is delicious.

This is divine!

Let's go, flatsos.

Hurry, Undertow.

There's a little girl out there

who needs our help.

All right, Sebastian,

you must remain calm.

This is not your fault.

All you have to do is

go in there and calmly explain...

that Melody has run away.

No reason to lose your head.

Whatever you do...

you absitively,

positutely...

must not panic.

- Melody!

- Melody's gone! Melody's gone!

- Melody's gone!

- Sebastian? Well, what are you doing here?

All my fault!

I tried to stop her!

I don't deserve to live!

Gone? Gone where?

Out. Out to the sea.

What do you mean?

Where could she be going?

To Morgana's.

And she can tell me what this locket

means, why it has my name on it?

Oh, sure, kid.

Morgana's the best.

She'll help ya.

Okay. Then let's go.

Angel face,

meet the one and only...

Morgana.

Oh, welcome, my precious.

Oh, don't be shy.

Come in.

Come in out of the cold.

Sit, sit.

Put your feet up.

Hungry? Afraid all I have

is a cold plate.

Smelt-cicle? Kelp chip?

Hush guppy?

Uh, no, thank you.

I was hoping you could

tell me about this pendant...

why it has my name on it.

My mother wouldn't tell me.

She just doesn't understand.

Oh, you're not the only one with

a mother who doesn't understand you.

Believe me,

I know just how you feel.

Dear child,

did you ever consider...

that it has

your name on it...

because it has

your destiny in it?

Oh, deep down...

you know you weren't

meant to be a lowly human.

What you are is something...

far more enchanting.

A mermaid?

But it's not possible.

Darling, anything's possible.

You can turn me into a mermaid?

Piece of fish cake, honey.

Lots of luck.

Ursula's magic?

Where'd you get that?

I've been saving it

for a special occasion.

One drop of this and,

bada-bing, bada-boom!

You're in fin city! Whee!

- Really?

- Come, my darling.

Your destiny awaits you.

I don't believe it!

I'm a mermaid.

Say it loud, say it proud!

I'm a mermaid!

You had this all along.

You coulda changed me back.

Why, I oughta...

Keep your scales on,

small fry.

I'm still reeling her in.

Oh, Daddy, I'm so worried.

Everything's going to be

all right, Ariel.

We have search parties

scouring the ocean.

I'm going to join them now myself.

- Ariel, maybe you should go with him.

- But, Eric...

I need to stay here

and lead the search on land.

But you know these waters...

and you know our daughter.

- You have to go.

- It may be dangerous.

Eric's right, Daddy.

I should have known I couldn't keep

Melody from the sea. It's a part of her.

And a part of me.

I have to go.

Bring her home.

What a totally cool feeling!

Oh, excuse me.

I'm so sorry, ma'am.

Okay, get a grip

Get the hang of this flipper

It's like slipping two feet

into one big, huge slipper

This way is left

Which way is right

Oh, now I'll be circling

in circles all night

Oh, so this is forward

No problem

I can't believe

I can do this and more

To swim in the sea

like I walk on the shore

Out of my shell

Not closed up like a clam

Look out, sea

This is me

Here I am

For a moment

all of me

Is alive and at home in the sea

I'm swirling and twirling

so graceful and grand

Not stubbing my toes

Getting stuck in the sand

For a moment

life is cool

I'm a splash

in the world's biggest pool

This is more than my thoughts

ever thought it could be

For a moment

Just a moment

Lucky me

If only for one moment

I had shared with you

all I know

The sea wouldn't be

a mystery

Oh, why did you have to go

Everything's newer

and brighter and bluer

And truer to life than before

Watch me soar
