(Silvania arrives at the surface of the ocean and drags herself to land)

Silvania: (breathes in de-eply) This is a hvge choice I’m ma-king…

(She puts on the amulet and transforms into a n-ked young, slender human lady)

Silvania: Woah… It worked, I’m human! And I feel so different. (she t©uçhes her face) Anika said I’ll have a different face (she checks her reflection in the water) Hmph! I don’t look bad at all, I just look different.

(Silvania sees a large leaf and covers herself with it)

Silvania: (smiles) Now I have to find Stephen…

(Silvania attempts to stand up and walk but coll@pses back on the ground)

Silvania: (sighs) This is gonna take a while…

(Meanwhile)
(At Sir Griffin’s mansion)
(Stephen sketches a drawing of Silvania, As he recalled her)

Stephen: (he stares at the sketch) I saw her. I’m very sure of it, She’s the one who rescued me. She looked like an angel. (He angrily clutches to his head) And I can’t st©p thinking about her…

(Bethany enters his room and he quic-kly hides the sketch)

Bethany: Hey baby. (She pe-cks Stephen on the cheek) So, You wanted to see me urgently?

Stephen: Yeah, It’s about a business proposal. The company in p@rtner with my Dad’s company wants you to be the model for their new product – Silk Hair.

Bethany: Okay. Sounds promising.

Stephen: So we’ll meet with the company tomorrow so that you can sign a contract with them.

Bethany: That’s no problem. (smiling) Don’t worry. Silk Hair is soon going to have the face of a goodness on their products.

(In the ocean)
(The Mer Kingdom)
(At the castle)

Princess Marianna: (furiously) Ugh, I wonder why that s¢v-mmy maid hasn’t come yet! I’m definitely not going to merciful to her today.

Suzanne: You haven’t heard?

Princess Marianna: Heard what?

Suzanne: Silvania is now a human being and she’s left the ocean.

Princess Marianna: (shocked) What? Are you sure about this?

Suzanne: Affirmative. It’s the rumor that’s been going around in the ocean.

Princess Marianna: (she wi-dens her eyes in realization) She must’ve turned human just so she could be with that human that she rescued. (she looks around in worry)

Suzanne: (notices her worried look) Are you okay?

Princess Marianna: (enraged) I fell in love with that human and I wanted him for myself and now, That worthless s¢v-mmy maid gets to be with him!

(Meanwhile)
(In Hillwood City)
(Lucas goes to meet Mr Felix)

Lucas: Good afternoon Mr Felix.

Mr Felix: Hello Lucas.

Lucas: I’m here to walk your dogs.

Mr Felix: Okay but my wife took the other dogs to the vet. Only sp©t is at home but don’t worry, You’ll walk him. (shouts) sp©t!

(A large dog with sp©ts enter to the living room)

Lucas: (he puts a collar and a leash on the dog) We’re gonna have fun together, sp©t. (To Mr Felix) See you later.

Mr Felix: Bye.

(Lucas takes the dog on a walk)

Lucas: (to the dog) I wonder how much I’m going to get paid since I’m walking on you today, sp©t.

(Just then, The dog barks at a p@rticular direction)

Lucas: What’s wrong boy?

(The dogs keep on barking towards that direction)

Lucas: Is something there? (The dog barks louder) Wait here boy.

(Lucas ties the dog to a pole then heads towards the direction and sees Silvania covered with a leaf, trying to stand on her newly acquired feet )

Silvania: Hi. (smiles)

Lucas: (startled) Uhhh, Who are you?

Silvania: I’m Silvania. (looks at him) You’re a human as well. (She leans on a nearby rock)

Lucas: (puzzled) Yes i am….. What’re you doing here?

Silvania: I just c@m£ from the Mer Kingdom, I don’t really know my way around here.

Lucas: The Mer kingdom?

Silvania: Yes. The Mer kingdom. It’s where all merfolks live and flourish. I’m a mermaid, I just turned human with the aid of my amulet so that I can come to your world without the fear of being harmed.

Lucas: (he stares at her in disbelief) You’re a mermaid? Really? That sounds very unbelievable, As in, I am unable to believe that.

Silvania: You think I’m lying? Fine. I’ll show you.

(Silvania takes off her amulet, She coll@pses on the ground as her legs fuses into a tail & she transforms back into a mermaid. Lucas is shocked by this)

Lucas: Whoa… Put it back on!

(Silvania wears the amulet back and reverts back to a human being)

Lucas: (amazed) Wow! You really are a real life mermaid. Wait, How come your face looked different as a mermaid?

Silvania: After I got this amulet, I was told that I’ll have a different face as a human. Apparently, The amulet is supposed to change physically everything about me.

Lucas: Look, You shouldn’t let anyone else know what you are, People around here see mermaids as bad luck. They’ll capture or even kill you if they discover what you are.

Silvania: (she wi-dens her eyes) Ohhh….

Lucas: Although I don’t believe mermaids to be bad luck, They’re just harmless creatures. Anyways, I’m Lucas.

Silvania: Nice to meet you.

Lucas: Yea. One more thing, You shouldn’t be going around telling people everything about yourself. Most people can’t be trusted. You know what? Just wait here… I’ll come back for you.

Silvania: Uhhh, Okay.

(Back in the Mer kingdom)
(At Donald’s house)

Donald: There’s nothing interesting happening in our kingdom. I miss when we’re usually always together, As a family. But Silvania is ha-rd ly around anymore.

Beatrice: Yeah, I haven’t even seen her today, She’s probably at the castle attending to the princess’ nee-ds. You know she usually leaves the house very early.

(Simon stares at them. Just then, Two castle guards barge into their house)

Donald: (confused) Guards! Is there a problem? Why did you just barge into my home like that?

Guard 1: The King has ordered us to bring all of you to the castle immediately!

Guard 2: (harshly) Let’s go!

(Later)
(At the castle)
(The guards brings Donald, Beatrice and Simon into the throne room)

Donald: (bows) You s£nt for us my King…

King Jerod: Where is your daughter?

Donald: We believe she’s here at the castle my King…

King Jerod: (he looks at Donald with a face filled with rage) Well, Donald…. Are you aware that your daughter snuck out of our kingdom early this morning to the surface of the sea? My guards just reported this to me, Even the sea creatures affirmed this…. (enraged) Silvania is now a human! She has gone against all of my laws!

(Donald and Beatrice look at each other with shock)

Donald: (pleads) Forgive us my King, Temper justice with mercy… We had no idea

Beatrice: (crying) Yes my King. We knew nothing about this.

King Jerod: Our actions have consequences, And sometimes…. On others (sm-irks)

(King Jerod points his trident at Donald, And a blast emerges from it which blinds Donald’s eyes)

Donald: (shouts in pain) AHHHHHH!!!!

Beatrice: (crying) No!

Simon: Father!

(Prince Erik watches them with pity while Princess Marianna smiles in satisfaction)

King Jerod: That’ll serve as a reward for your daughter’s treachery (he addresses everyone) Let this be known to everyone! Silvania is now an enemy of this kingdom and if she ever returns…. She will be beheaded.

(un-derwater)
(The Mer Kingdom)
(Beatrice continuously tries to get her husband, Donald to open his eyes)

Beatrice: (crying) Has the pain reduced? Can you open your eyes? Can you see?

(Donald eventually opens his eyes and they’re colorless)

Donald: (worriedly) No, I can’t see…

Beatrice: No, no, no… (crying profusely) I don’t know why Silvania would do this to us…. We gave her everything she ever wanted, What more could she possibly be looking for?

(Simon stares at her with guilt before he eventually speaks up)

Simon: Mom, There’s something you should know.

Beatrice: (without looking at him) What is that?

Simon: Before she left, Silvania has been going up to the surface. She rescued a human being from drowning and she fell in love with him. (He sighs de-eply) I told her about a mermaid who practices juju and she went to meet her and the mermaid gave Silvania an amulet which could enable her to turn human….

Beatrice: (she turns and stares at him in utter shock) How could you and your sister do this to me?

Simon: I’m really sorry Mother.

Beatrice: (She looks away from him without knowing what else to say)

(Meanwhile)
(In Hillwood City)
(Lucas brings some clothes to Silvania)

Silvania: (she wears them) Thank you.

Lucas: You’re welcome.

Silvania: The surface looks so nice.

Lucas: You haven’t even seen the good p@rts of this city yet. Come on, Let me show you around.

Silvania: Okay. (She stands up and attempts to walk once again but staggers and she holds onto a nearby pole for support) Walking is so ha-rd .

Lucas: There’s nothing ha-rd about it, Just put a foot forward, Then the other foot forward… Like that. Just walk slowly so you can get a hang of it.

(Silvania does as Lucas told her)

Silvania: (laughs) I’m doing it, I’m walking!

Lucas: See….. I told you it’s not ha-rd .

(Silvania takes a few steps but falls down face flat )

Lucas: Eishhh….You just nee-d a little practice.

(Later that night)
(Lucas and Silvania take a walk along a street)

Silvania: The city is indeed beautiful. So where do you live?

Lucas: I live at a foster home. It’s the house where I was raised by my foster father, Mr Blackwell.

Silvania: What about your real parents?

Lucas: I don’t know where they are. Mr Blackwell told me they kept me at the foster care when I was a baby but they left a note with me which says “We’ll meet again one day”

Silvania: (sighs) I just remembered my parents, I wonder what they might be going throu-gh now….

Lucas: They’re probably missing you.

Silvania: Or they’re hating me for choosing to follow my heart.

Lucas: (perplexed) Huh?

Silvania: I fell in love with a human. He’s the reason I bec@m£ human.

Lucas: Who is he?

(Just then, Stephen and Alex drives past Silvania and Lucas in a car. Silvania sp©ts him)

Silvania: (suprised) Stephen? (excitedly) Stephen!

(Silvania runs off, chasing after Stephen’s car)

Lucas: Silvania! What’s the matter with you?! (He chases after her)

Silvania: (while running after the car) STEPHEN!!!

(In the ocean – The Mer Kingdom)
(At the castle, In Prince Erik’s room)

Princess Marianna: You’re still sulking?

Prince Erik: I just feel really bad for Silvania’s parents. They’re going throu-gh a lot.

Princess Marianna: Yup. And it’s all because of her. Do you know that the reason she bec@m£ human is because she has fallen in love with another human being?

Prince Erik: (stares at her for a moment) Are you being serious or you’re just trying to speak ill of her?

Princess Marianna: What would I gain by doing that? It is the truth. You can even ask anyone else, They’ll tell you. You loved Silvania with all your heart but yet she never even loved you….(scoffs) That’s pitiful

(Meanwhile)
(Stephen and Alex arrives at Sir Griffin’s mansion)

Security guard: Welcome back sir.

Stephen: Is my father home?

Security guard: No sir.

Stephen: Alright. Make sure you lock the gates.

Security guard: Yes sir.

(Stephen and Alex go into the house)

(Few minutes later)
(Silvania arrives at Sir Griffin’s mansion. Lucas follows her)

Silvania: Stephen! Stephen!

Lucas: Silvania, We can’t be here! We have to go!

Silvania: Not yet. Stephen is inside, I have to see him!

(The security guard angrily comes out of the gate)

Security man: Hey, hey… What’s your problem miss?

Silvania: I want to see Stephen.

Security guard: Did you tell him you were coming to see him?

Silvania: Just let me in!

(She tries to pas-s throu-gh the gate but the security guard blocks her path)

Security guard: If you do not leave here on the count of three, I’ll call the police and have you thrown in jail for infringement. One!

Lucas: Silvania, Let’s go.

Security guard: Two!

(Lucas and a reluctant Silvania leave)

Lucas: What’s your problem? We could’ve gotten arrested for what you just did. Things aren’t done this way on land, You can’t just run after someone and try to enter their home, It isn’t proper here.

Silvania: I’m really sorry, I didn’t know. I just wanted to see Stephen…

Lucas: The son of Sir Griffin? The most famous man in Hillwood City…. What business do you have with him?

Silvania: Remember when I was telling you about the human I fell in love with…

Lucas: Uh-Huh

Silvania: (blus-hes) Stephen is that human.

Lucas: It may be almost impossible for you to get to Stephen. He doesn’t even know you.

Silvania: But If I can just see him, I’ll be really happy.

Lucas: Hmm… You know, There might be another way we could get into the house (sm-irks)

Silvania: How?

(Silvania and Lucas jumps into compound throu-gh the fence)

Lucas: We’re in.

Silvania: (excitedly) Yay!

(They sneak to the backdoor and enter into the house, throu-gh the kitchen)

Silvania: (looks around) Whoa…. This house is hvge. I wonder what this room is called.

Lucas: It’s called a kitchen.

Silvania: We don’t have “kitchens” in the Mer Kingdom. (She sees the forks and spoons arranged in their racks) I wonder what those are.

Lucas: They’re cutleries. We use them to eat.

Silvania: In the Mer Kingdom, We use our hands.

Lucas: (sighs) It’s gonna take a while before you adjust to your life on land.

Silvania: I know.

(Silvania and Lucas hear low angry growls. They turn around to see a large German shepherd dog)

Silvania: (severely frightened) Oh my goodness, What is that creature?

Lucas: Relax, It’s a dog. (He slowly approaches the dog) Easy boy, We’re not here to harm anyone…

(Lucas pats the dog and it st©ps growling and shakes it’s tail happily as it barks at him)

Silvania: I think he likes you.

Lucas: Yup. I’m very good with dogs.

Silvania: (looks around) I wonder where Stephen is.

(Just then, Stephen enters the kitchen, behind Silvania and Lucas)

Stephen: (he taps her on the shoulder) Miss?

(Silvania turns around to see Stephen)

Silvania: (astonished) Stephen…
