Prologue

Thunder sounded across the pitch black starless sky. The waves in the ocean rose in height. The waves were so tall that it seemed like a dream – a nightmare- if one was honest with one's self.

A flash of red hair appeared out of the ocean. This hair did not belong to a human or an animal, but to a mythical being- a mermaid- named Ariel. The mermaid gasped for breath as the waves slowly began to calm down slightly.

Her blue eyes widened as she felt something or someone grab her emerald color tail, pulling her back under the water to her home. She glanced down and saw a figure with short blonde hair trying to get up for breath.

Ariel lifted her tail up faintly due to the weight that was on it. She extended the upper part of her body downward and grabbed the figure with her hands. She yanked what she grabbed upward and held it by the waist, allowing it to breathe and not panic.

Her eyes scanned the ocean for something- anything she could use to help the figure to stay afloat. A smile crept upon her face as she saw a piece of drift wood. She swam toward it and put the arms of what she had on it.

The figure she had took several deep breaths and began to cough. "A-A-Ar-Ariel- wh-where are they?" The female figured asked between coughs. Panic was in her voice.

"I don't know, Rapunzel, but you have to get away from here. You are not a mermaid anymore. This is too dangerous for a human," the mermaid replied.

Rapunzel glared at Ariel. Determination filled her body. "NO! I started this mess! I have to end it."

"I started it too. If I hadn't made that deal with Ursula…" Ariel began.

"Do not blame yourself. I was the one who founded that plant to begin with," Rapunzel interrupted.

"You did not know what it would do. It wasn't your fault. Now we have two people we need to find," the red haired girl reminded her.

Rapunzel's big green eyes widened in horror, she had forgotten why she was in the sea to begin with! She clutched tighter onto the driftwood. "ERIC!" She yelled.

"HANS!" Ariel shouted after her.

"ERIC!"

"HANS!"

The two females yelled their names again. The only thing that answered them was the howling of the wind, and the waves of the sea.

"I am going back under the water. I have to find that necklace for you!" Ariel told the short haired princess.

"No, don-" Rapunzel began but it was too late. Ariel was already under the water.

Memories entered the women's minds as they remembered how they had gotten into this situation in the first place.

Hello, my faithful readers and reviewers! I hope you all enjoy my first crossover and my last story on fanfiction. I am quitting this site because I hardly ever get reviews and I am busy. I am hoping that – since this my final story- I will get a lot of reviews. I will miss you all. Of course, if you still want to talk, you can still p.m. me. With that being said, I do not own The Little Mermaid or Tangled. The Little Mermaid is property of Hans Christian Anderson and Disney. Tangled is own by Disney. The story and character Rapunzel is owned by the Grimm Brothers. By the way, does anyone know how to get a hold of publishing companies or what to do if one is interested in writing children's books for Disney? If you do please let me know. I have been wanting to write Disney children's books for many years. Oh, if you are wandering who Hans is go to youtube and type in little mermaid tv series metalfish.
