Arista Wants to be human

Arista was helping Ariel brush her hair to be ready to meet with her father. "Ariel, I think that's done it. Go to Father." Ariel left to meet with Triton while Arista had other plans. Arista found Ariel's grotto where Ariel kept her collection from the human world. Arista was amazed at how much human stuff Ariel collected. "Good thing Ariel keeps this stuff here because Daddy forbids merpeople making contact with humans." Arista spotted the fork Ariel found and started using it to straighten her hair. "I think it would be fun to be human. I want to be human and leave Atlantica." Arista went to the surface and saw a ship where a young man about her age was sailing on the sea. "Wow! That boy is so cute. I wonder what his name is." Arista wanted to approach the lad but she was worried if he would hurt her of be afraid of her so she went back under the sea and started thinking. "What can I do? I want to meet that man and ask his name. I know, I'll go somewhere to ask someone to turn me human. Arista went to Ursula's lair to see if she can turn her human although Arista was scared. "Hello?" Said Arista calling for someone. Ursula appeared out of nowhere and came close to Arista. "Why, Arista, Great to see you." "I w w wish I could say the same thing to you. I came here because I have a crush on a young man from the surface." Ursula smiled wickedly. "And you're afraid he could harm you or fear you?" "Y y y yes." Replied Arista nervously. "No problem, Arista. I will make a potion that will turn you into a human." Arista gasped. "You will?" "Of course. In order to do that you must trade your voice." Arista hesitated. "How can I give my voice to you?" Ursula got her necklace with a seashell out. "My she'll will do it. Sing." Arista began vocalizing as magical hands came from Ursula and took Arista's voice. Arista was then placed into a bubble and her tail became legs with Ursula cackling.

Arista then couldn't breathe underwater anymore so she escaped Ursula's lair and tried to get to the surface but before she could Arista gave a low moan as she drowned and her lifeless body floated to the surface and the man Arista is in love with saw her floating motionless. "Oh my gosh, I better save that girl." The man dove into the sea got to Arista and pulled her to safety on his boat. The man put Arista into his bed in the ship's cabin and left her. Arista woke up coughing out the water she inhaled and tried to speak but forgot her voice was gone. Arista had to figure out how to get her voice back but that's another story.
