You know I kinda feel bad for not knowing your name perhaps I can guess said Eric. Is it Is it, err, Mildred? O.K., no. How 'bout - Diana? Rachel?

It's Jane she said now what is yours she asked. Eric he replied with a smile as the two continued on their journey to Rum Pepper Island. This Eric realized was the longest he'd talked to a girl. But just then Meg swam to the surface looking at Eric from afar.

Jane wasn't the only one to fall for a human while Jane had fallen for a monster hunter who went by the name of Jacob Holland Meg had fallen head over heels for prince Eric being careful not to be seen she swam too the boat grabbing Jane's hand before pulling her in the two swam around a corner.

Meg! Jane said happily as Meg put one finger to her lips he'll here you she said pointing to the water below you know you're not the only one who fell for a human I did two Meg said. Why don't you become human like me so you can be with him so you can be with Eric.

It's not that simple for me Meg replied just as a storm began to brew and Eric was tossed from the ship and into the water Meg looked panicked as she dove beneath the raging waves grabbing Eric before dragging him to shore.

Is he - dead? Meg asked No, look! He's breathing. He's so, beautiful Meg said before she started singing.

What would I give
To live where you are?
What would I pay
To stay here beside you?
What would I do to see you
Smiling at me?
Where would we walk?
Where would we run?
If we could stay all day in the sun?
Just you and me
And I could be
Part of your world

Hearing the voice of Grimsby she dove beneath the waves.

A girl - rescued me. . . . She was - singing . . . she had the most - beautiful voice said Eric Ah, Eric, I think you've swallowed a bit too much seawater.

I don't know when I don't know how But I know something's starting right now Watch and you'll see Some day I'll be Part of your world.

Megara a voice screamed from below I have to go now Meg said before diving beneath the waves.

I know you have fallen for a human Meg and what if I were to tell you I could make that dream of yours come true. Now, here's the deal. I will make you a potion that will turn you into
a human for three days. Got that? Three days. Now listen, this is important. Before the sun sets on the third day, you've got to get dear ol'
princey to fall in love with you. That is, he's got to kiss you. Not just any kiss - the kiss of true love. If he does kiss you before the sun sets on
the third day, you'll remain human, permanently, but - if he doesn't, you turn back into a mermaid, and - you belong to me.

Have we got a deal? like Jane Meg had been orphaned at a young age Oh - and there is one more thing. We haven't discussed the subject of payment. You can't get something for nothing, you know said Hades.

But I don't have any - Meg started but was cut off I'm not asking much. Just a token, really, a trifle. You'll never even miss it. What I want from you is . . . your voice. No more talking, singing, zip said Hades.

My voice? Meg said You've got it, sweetcakes. No more talking, singing, zip replied Hades. But without my voice, how can I - Meg started but was once again cut off. You'll have your looks! Your pretty face! And don't underestimate the importance of body language! Ha!

The men up there don't like a lot of blabber They think a girl who gossips is a bore Yes, on land it's much preferred For ladies not to say a word
And after all, dear, what is idle prattle for?

Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation True gentlemen avoid it when they can But they dote and swoon and fawn On a lady who's withdrawn It's she who holds her tongue who gets her man

Come on, you poor unfortunate soul
Go ahead! Make your choice! I'm a very busy man And I haven't got all day It won't cost much Just your voice! You poor unfortunate soul It's sad But true If you want to cross a bridge, my sweet You've got to pay the toll Take a gulp and take a breath And go ahead and sign the scroll! Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys The boss is on a roll This poor unfortunate soul.

Meg signs the scroll in front of her Paluga, sarruga, come winds of the Caspian Sea.Now rings us glossitis and max laryngitis, La voce to me! Now . . . sing!

Meg's tail turns into a pair of legs as she starts singing
