[The wedding boat departs from the dock. Ariel stands at the docks watching. She sinks to the ground, burying her head and cries. Sebastian looks up at her and sadly bows his head. A tear rolls down her cheek and falls in the water. Nearby, Flounder cries too. Over the ship, Scuttle swoops down over the sky.]

What a lovely little bride I'll make / My dear, I'll look divine [Scuttle peeks through a porthole to see "Vanessa" singing to herself.]/ Things are working out according / To my ultimate design [She throws a hairpin at the Angel figure in her mirror. He gulps, realizing the bride is not Ariel.] / Soon I'll have that little mermaid / And the ocean will be mine [Vanessa steps onto her vanity, crushing a bottle. She twirls around and pulls the mirror towards her. Scuttle sees her reflection is that of Ursula.]

The Sea Witch! Oh no... She's gotta- I gotta... [In a rush to leave, he bumps his head on the porthole. He flies back to Ariel.] Ariel! Ariel! Ariel, I was flying, I wa - of course I was flying - An' - I s- I saw that the watch - the witch was watchin' a mirror, and she was singin' with a stolen set o' pipes! [Scuttle picks up Sebastian and clanks him against the ground repeatedly.] Do you hear what I'm tellin' you?! The Prince is marrying the Sea Witch in disguise!

[Ariel drops her jaw, realizing that Eric is marrying Ursula in disguise.] [rubbing his head]

Are you sure about this?

Have I ever been wrong? I mean when it's important!

What are we gonna do!?

[Ariel looks to the setting sun and hears Ursula's voice in her head.]

Before the sun sets on the third day...

[Ariel leaps into the water and splashes around helplessly. Sebastian cuts free some barrels for Ariel to hang onto.]

Ariel, grab on to dat. Flounder, get her to that boat as fast as your fins can carry you!

I'll try.

[Flounder loops himself onto the rope and pulls Ariel along to the boat.]

I've gotta get to the sea king. He must know about this.

What - What about me? What about me?

You - find a way to stall dat wedding! [dives into the sea to find King Triton]

Stall the wedding. Wh- what am I - what - that's it! [Scuttle squawks and takes off for the lagoon, alerting the other birds. Bluebirds and flamingos follow him. Starfish, lobsters, dolphins, and sea lions look up. The animals follow Scuttle.] Move it! Let's go! We've got an emergency here!

[Cut to: Deck of Eric's boat] [Vanessa and Eric walk down the aisle. Max snarls at her as she passes by, and she kicks him. A short bishop stands at the end of the aisle.]

Dearly beloved...

[We cut to the Ocean] [Flounder pulls Ariel.]

Don't worry Ariel. Ugh…… we…… we're gonna make it. We're almost there.

[Cut to: Deck of Eric's boat]

Yes, um, do you Eric, take Vanessa, to be your lawfully wedded wife, for as long as you both shall live?

[Vanessa looks out to the sun, noticing it's almost set.]

I do.

[Scuttle squawks.]

Eh, and do you... [A squadron of bluebirds swoop down from the sky, led by Scuttle, aimed directly towards Vanessa. She ducks. They circle around and fly under her white dress. Max barks. Guests are alarmed as sea lions get on deck. Pelicans fly overhead and dump beaks full of water on Vanessa. A lobster pinches her nose and starfish smother her and screams.] [Oblivious to the commotion] then by the power invest-

Get away from me you slimy little- [A sea lion tosses her in the air on his nose. Ariel arrives and climbs up the ship. The sea lions toss Vanessa into the wedding cake. She pops out, furious, and three dolphins squirt water in her face. Scuttle squawks in her face.] Oh, why you little- [Vanessa wrings Scuttle's neck. Max breaks free from his leash. Max bites Vanessa in the rear and Scuttle pulls at Vanessa's necklace, which goes flying through the air. The shell of Ursula's necklace was broken into pieces, and Ariel's voice was heard singing and inserted back into Ariel.]

Ariel?

Eric.

[Max barks happily at her.]

You - you can talk. You're the one.

[Eric runs to her and grasps her hands.] [now in Ursula's own voice]

Eric, get away from her!

[Ursula covers her mouth.]

It - it was you all the time.

Oh, Eric, I - I wanted to tell you.

Eric, no!

[The sun sets as they are about to kiss, and her legs turn back into a tail.] [as Ariel turns back into a mermaid]

You’re too late! [cackles wickedly] YOU’RE TOO LATE!!!!

[Vanessa rips out of her dress and turns back into Ursula. The crowd gasps in shock and disgust.]

So long, Lover Boy.

[She slithers across the deck, grabs Ariel, and dives over the edge of the ship.]

Ariel!
