Chapter six is here guys and I am sad. Bruno Sammartino, the Strongest Man in the World, the legend, and the longest WWE Champion (2803 days) is gone. He passed away and I am sad. I will miss him, glad he made peace with WWE before leaving, and hope he is at peace.

Still, the show must go on and I hope everyone is doing good. I want to thank my friend for his help on this chapter. I appreciate it and I hope everyone is ready. We now have Melody and Chris meeting up.

Will this go the same way as the original story? Somewhat, but you will know what I mean as this goes on. I will also plan to bring in our villain. So, I hope everyone will be ready for him.

Also, again the timeline is around 1751, which is a month after the fifth film. It does not fit the Little Mermaid's timeline from 1849 or since this is Melody's 16th birthday coming up 1853. Nonetheless, I will do whatever the fuck I want so shut up!

I don't own anything owned by Disney except my OC. So without any further delays enjoy the next chapter!

Chapter VI

Atalan

Chris couldn't believe what just happened in less than five minutes. He was on his way to find a place to stay so he can later 'borrow' a ship to use. The next thing he knew he fell into the water while spying at a girl who was swimming in the water. He then met this girl and she invited him to her place. So he can dry up and not get sick.

He was about to turn her down, but when she mentioned she lives in the palace this made him change his mind. This girl is the princess of the royal family and a beautiful one at that. He accepted her offer and she leads him to her home. All while using this chance to scout out the area so he can be ready when he takes the ship.

Along the way the two talked about who he is and where he is from. Chris lied about how he is a traveler and was passing through. He apologized if he was spying on her. He just was surprised to see the princess out swimming without any guards.

Melody reassured him that their home is very safe. That they didn't have to worry about anyone trying to hurt her or her brother who had taken off to let their parents know about their guest. She accepted his apology though and the two continued talking. But as they did it was apparent that they were starting to get a little nervous.

Maybe it could be the awkwardness on how they met or it could be because she is a princess and he is not a noble or royalty. In any case, Melody felt comfortable talking to him. Just glad he isn't talking to her just to use her. Chris though felt a little guilty for using her though and taking advantage of her kindness, especially when he thought she was going to be a spoiled brat like the other royal kids he met.

"Here we are," said Melody as she takes him inside their home.

Chris walks in and acted surprised since he didn't want to make it seem like this is the first time he has seen a palace. "Wow! Very big," he said when he noticed some banners nearby. "Happy birthday…" he stopped reading the banner when he saw Melody's name on it. "Oh, is your birthday today?"

"Not yet," Melody replied knowing her birthday will be tomorrow. "It will be soon and you are welcome to join me."

Chris turns to Melody surprised with her invitation. "Really? You sure you don't mind inviting someone who isn't of royalty or noble class?" he asked with a British mocking accent.

Melody giggled with the accent and shook her head. "Honestly, having someone who isn't from a high class will be fun. I mean, if you don't mind staying until tomorrow."

Chris wanted to say 'no' and tell her he won't be able to stay. But, he thought it would be a good chance to get a look around this place. Learn where all the guards will be at, where the ships are at, and how to make his escape.

He turns to Melody and smiles at her. "Then I will accept your invitation, princess," he said giving her a small bow.

Melody rolled her eyes when he did that. "You can call me Melody. We are friends so you don't need to be formal."

Chris looks up at her with a surprised look. Friends? That was something he didn't expect her to say. He just thought were more acquaintance or someone she felt bad got wet so she wanted to help out

Melody looks over to see who is walking towards them with towels. "Carlotta, did my brother tell you about what happened?"

"I did, princess. And we already have a hot bath waiting for the boy," said Carlotta as she handed a towel to Melody.

"A b-bath? Whoa, I'm okay. I just need a towel and I will be fine," said Chris who didn't want to take a bath.

"Nonsenses," Carlotta replied. "You are soaking wet and we will not risk you getting sick. Now, off to the bath young man."

"B-but I…" Chris is interrupted when the older woman began pushing Chris and upstairs to get cleaned up. "F-fine! Just stop pushing me!"

Melody giggled when she saw her new friend being pushed up the stairs by the older woman. Now it was time for her to tell her parents what happened. She knew her dad will not like she brought a complete stranger to their home, but she is hoping her mom will back her up. She also hope they will see Chris isn't a threat.

Yes, he isn't from around here, but it doesn't mean she couldn't have him around. At least just for the party. Plus, he was kind of cute. Melody shook those thoughts out of her head though.

He looks nice and seems different from the other boys. However, she didn't want to risk opening her heart again. Not until she is sure she got to know more about him. For now, she needs to tell her mom what happened first and hope she will convince her dad to let her new friend stay.

"He seems like a nice young man," speak of the devil. Melody turns around to find her mother walking into the room. "James told me how you two met. Surprised you invited someone you just met."

"Grimsby told me dad did the same with you when you two first met," said Melody recalling how her parents met through Grimsby.

Ariel sighed knowing she would have to talk to Grimsby about that. "Yes, how we met is somewhat the same, but this is different. I'm just saying, if you plan to tell your father about him maybe you should come up with a story that won't have him be worried."

Melody seems surprised that her mom is suggesting they lie about this, but was also happy she is okay with Chris. "So, you mean you will help me let him stay until the party?"

Ariel raised her hand to explain herself. "I am willing to help since it is nice you met someone who seems like a nice boy. However, I need to talk to him first before I make my decision. Now, I got a nice hot bath waiting for you. Go get cleaned up, while I talk to the boy."

"Aww fine," said Melody as she began taking off to get cleaned.

In the meantime, Ariel decided to go meet with this new boy. Maybe find out more about him before he spends any time with her daughter. She just hope this boy is nice. She would hate to see the first boy Melody met who wasn't from the sea or a noble turn out to be someone who was using her.

As she goes up the stairs she could have sworn she heard a ringing sound nearby. Looking she saw nothing and shrugs it off. "Oh well. Let's go meet this boy."

Meanwhile

Chris finished getting cleaned up after being practically forced to take a bath. He didn't mind it in the end though since it gave him a chance to get a nice warm bath. Not the cold ones he had to take before. He finishes drying up and putting on some clothes. They weren't fancy clothes, which he was glad for.

They appeared more like civilian clothing. He was glad he told Carlotta not to bring him anything fancy. He didn't like those clothing and wanted to wear something comfortable. And not itchy.

He goes over to the mirror to think look at himself. He didn't look bad and didn't mind these clothes. He'll probably end up keeping them when he leaves. "Now if only I can find the right hat to go with these clothes."

"Looking good," he looks over to see Zarina near the window washing her hair. "Personally though, I think you don't need a hat to go with those clothes."

Chris sighed as he begins putting the towel away. "Please tell me you weren't here while I was changing."

Zarina rolled her eyes up. "I don't peek. I came here after you got dressed. Still, I am surprised you ended up coming here. Since these people are rich."

Chris knew what she is talking about and sighed. "I'm only here to get cleaned up after I fell into the water. I don't like being here, but at least I'm getting in good with the princess. So, we'll use this time to get what we need and then leave."

Zarina began chuckling as she fixed her hair. "And you did a good job getting good with her. By making a fool of yourself falling into the water," she stopped when she saw to look on Chris's face when she noticed him looking at the water and how close she is to it. "Do it and you will regret it."

Chris walks over and just smiles befpore blowing his friend on her butt. "Relax, I know better than to make you mad. Anyways, I was just caught off-guard with her. That has passed and now I am cool. She won't get the better of me once we leave."

Zarina gets up and lets out a huff as she puts her hat on. "Just don't lead her on, okay? I think it would be bad if you end up making her believe you like her. Only to end up…"

Chris interrupts her when he raised his hand up. "I don't plan to make that mistake. I'll just be friends with her and that's it. If she thinks like that I will tell her I am not interested or that I am in an arrange marriage."

Zarina knows that hasn't really worked out well in the past, but maybe this time it will be different. "Whatever you say. Just don't get too close to her. Despite what you said I saw how you couldn't take your eyes off of her when you first met. Would hate for things to get messy if you fall for the princess."

"Relax, I've got this," said Chris as he sits down on the chair near the door. "I'm not going to fall for her. I know better and I know she wouldn't end up falling for me, especially if she knows the truth about me," he then begins moving his hand up to her neck and rubs it. "Would hate to be hang in the same week."

Zarina flies up to her friend and sits on his shoulder. "That sounds good, but do you think she'll believe your lie? I know you're a good liar, but I'm wondering if you can lie to a girl who you seem to have a crush on."

"I don't have a crush on her and what do you know about crushes?" Chris asked as he got up from the chair.

"I read," said Zarina as she sits on the chair. "I also don't think you should worry about her finding out the truth. Since she is going to have her birthday I'm sure she will have one thing on her mind."

He knew his friend is right. Sure, she acts nice and kind, but Chris bets once the party arrives she will change. She will be more focused on spending time with her rich friends and on the fancy gifts. Once that happens then it will be a good time for them to escape.

"Look, don't worry Zarina I've got this," said Chris as he opens the window. "Now remember, stay out of sight and stay hidden until we leave, okay?"

She nods in response and flies to the window. "Once we get the ship then where will we go? Not London I bet."

Chris knew going back to London is a mistake. The Caribbean might also be bad since the British and the French are enforcing their rule. Leaving him with not many options of where his father could be. Unless maybe he pays a visit to an old friend.

"I got an idea of where we can go," Chris opens the door and looks around to see no one there. "I'll go off to find Melody. In the meantime get a good layout of the area. Where the guards are positioned, where the ships are kept, and find us a good one to 'borrow'."

Zarina nods in response as she puts on her hat and gives her friend a salute. "Aye, aye captain."

Chris salutes back as he sees her flying away. He closes the window and begins taking off. As soon as he turned the corner though he bumps into someone. Causing the person to fall down.

"Oh sorry about that I didn't see you there," said Chris as he helps the woman he knocked down up.

"It's all right. I should have been careful too," said the woman with the red hair.

Chris noticed the crown and soon realize who this woman is. "Y-you must be Melody's mother. I apologize for bumping into you, your majesty," said Chris as he apologized and bows to her.

Well, now he knows where Melody gets her beauty from. He just didn't expect to run into the mother so early.

Ariel giggles softly when she saw how formal the boy is. How much of a gentleman he is acting as she shook her head. "It's all right. You don't need to apologize. You must be Chris. Melody told me about you."

Chris looks up at her and smiled nervously. "Well, must not have been much since I didn't tell her much."

"I know, which is why I am here," said Ariel as she gives him a welcoming smile. "Melody is taking bath right now. So, while we wait I can show you around the palace and where you will be staying. Maybe I can get to know you a little better while I'm at it."

Chris should have known this was going to happen. "O-oh well um are you sure? I wouldn't want to keep you from anything important."

Ariel shook her head and placed her hand on his shoulder. "I insist. Please, follow me."

Chris gulped as he begins following the queen. He just hope he can survive the mother. Without her finding out the truth about him or even ask him personal questions. Just as long as he doesn't accidentally say anything that will cause him to slip up he should be fine. I hope.

The Artic

Meanwhile, up north is the once lair of the evil Sea Witch, Morgana. It was also her hideout after she failed to get the trident from Triton. She hid in this lair for years. Plotting to get the trident and take over the sea.

To prove she could do better than her sister, Ursula. She did manage to use Ariel's daughter, Melody to get her the trident and was almost successful in ruling the sea. Until Melody managed to defeat her and give the trident back to her grandfather. He used his trident to seal Morgana in a block of ice and kept her frozen as she feel deep within the water.

Her lair left abandoned and it is no longer used by anyone. All except for her former henchman, Undertow. A large shark who survived his encounter with Melody and her little friends. He is seen chasing a small baby sea lion to eat for lunch.

The sea lion however was able to dodge the large jaws of the large and dangerous shark. Just as he was about to sink his teeth into the seal, it managed to find a small hole within the ice and escapes.

Undertow slams into the ice and broke a couple of teeth. "Darn it! That's the third time I have lost a meal."

Ever since Morgana was defeated four years ago Undertow has been on his own. Cloak and Dagger took off since they knew it was pointless to stick around with Morgana gone. They also didn't feel Undertow could lead them since Morgana was the boss. This made Undertow angry since he felt he did more of the hard work than her and her worthless magic.

Undertow knew he couldn't leave though like his former friends. If Triton found out he is alive then he would punish him for his role in helping Morgana and trying to kill his granddaughter. He probably wouldn't turn him into a small fish like he did. So, he had to end up staying here, which hasn't worked out well.

Thanks to that small penguin and walrus who defeated him, he has been the laughing stock of the sea. No one takes him seriously like before. They not only knocked off all his teeth, but they made him look like a chum. And he hates chum.

Good thing for Undertow is he had plenty of rows of teeth to grow back. However, the humiliation at the hands of the princess's friends will never help him recover.

"It's all Morgana's fault!" he shouted blaming the frozen sea witch. "I swear if she wasn't frozen I would rip her apart."

Oh he knows where she is. He found her a few days after they were defeated and his teeth grew back. But, he didn't bother freeing her. He didn't see any need since he knew if he did she would probably end up failing again and if that happens he could lose more than his teeth.

So he decided to leave her where she is and find another way to get payback. Not on that little brat and her family. No he wanted revenge on her friends for what they did. He would do anything for revenge, anything.

"I don't care what the risks are. I will not stop until I rip that penguin and fat walrus into pieces!"

Suddenly a large net wraps around the shark who tries to get away. However, the net had weights around it so as soon as it got over the large shark he began to get weighted down. He tried biting his way out, but the nets are made of chains making it difficult for him to break free. He then feels the net being pulled up towards a large ship.

He could see the ship and realized he is being captured by humans. Foolish humans who think they could capture him. He has dealt with these fools before and is able to deal with them with ease. But these humans came prepared and he couldn't break free.

He is pulled out of the water and is brought close to the ship where a group of humans are facing him. He growls at them and tries to break free.

"Let me out humans! Or I will rip you all apart!" he shouted until heh hears a loud thud approaching him.

\A man dressed in a long black trench coat, hat, and boots approached him. The hat covered his face, but he could tell from the look on the men that this human is in charge.

Undertow however wasn't scared. Despite how the human appears to his crew, there was no fear in the shark.

"Are you the Undertow?" the captain asked.

"Yeah," replied Undertow who didn't seem surprised this human is talking to him. "Who's asking?"

He then sees the captain smiling as the human uses his sword and moves it close to the shark's throat. "You're new master. Do as I say and not only will you live, but I'll help you get revenge on those who embarrassed you."

Undertow looks into the human's eyes and sees something he hasn't seen in any human in the past. Whatever lies beyond his eyes made even the great shark fear this particular human.

"W-what do you want?" Undertow asked.

The pirate captain pulls out an amulet that possessed a strange symbol on this. "I need you to find us a friend."

That's the end of the chapter and looks like Undertow has met a new friend. However, this friend is not exactly the kindness friend to ever meet. It also looks like Chris is going to spend time with the mother. Oh how is this going to go?

Will Chris survive the mother? Will Melody save him? Who is this new foe? And what will happen next time?
