(Silvania quietly sneaks out of the room and returns back to her quarters)
Lucas: (noticing her expression) What is it?
Silvania: Lucas, You won’t believe this… Do you remember when I was telling you that Anna acts and sounds just like Princess Marianna from the Mer Kingdom…
Lucas: Yeah…
Silvania: I just discovered that Anna is in fact, Princess Marianna! I saw her true face in her mirror…
Lucas: Wow… So she followed you all the way from the depths of the ocean?
Silvania: Seemingly… She must’ve gone to meet Anika to turn her human, But how come she shows up and then Stephen is alre-ady in love with her?
Lucas: She might have enchanted him. Mermaids can do that right?
Silvania: Yeah, It is possible. But most merfolks aren’t experts in magic, Including Princess Marianna. She must have found some other means to make Stephen fall for her.
Lucas: (sighs) You just finished battling that deranged psychopath that calls herself Bethany and now a ravaging power-hungry mermaid princess appears to cut short your happiness, This is really tough.
Silvania: Indeed! First, Marianna makes it her mission to make my life miserable in the Mer kingdom, Next she follows me to the surface and now she wants to f0rç£ Stephen to fall in love with her? (enraged) Argh! I want to wriggle her skinny little n£¢k…
Lucas: Let’s just calm down for now, We don’t wanna break any more of Sir Griffin’s rules.
Silvania: (furiously) That’s not the only thing I’ll be breaking when I get my hands on Marianna.
(Next Morning)
(By the poolside)
Stephen: (looking at the swimming pool) I sometimes forget we even have a pool in our house.
Sir Griffin: I tried to reach your mother earlier today… She didn’t answer my calls.
Stephen: You know where she is?
Sir Griffin: After your Mom and I divorced, She relocated to Miami.
Stephen: You know, If you really want to set things right with her… You’re gonna have to go to meet her in Miami
Sir Griffin: (he nods his head)
Stephen: I’ll be in my room. (He leaves)
(Inside the house)
(Silvania mops around the dining room when Marianna/Anna walks in)
Marianna/Anna: (scornfully) Where’s everyone?
(Silvania ignores her)
Marianna/Anna: I’m talking to you!
Silvania: Sir Griffin and Sir Stephen are outside by the poolside while the others are at their quarters. (She continues mopping)
Marianna/Anna: (hisses) Stupid idiot!
(Marianna/Anna is about to leave when Silvania violently draws her back)
Silvania: Enough with the facade. I know that you are Princess Marianna.
Marianna/Anna: (she becomes suprised at this but manages to conceal it) Who’s that?
Silvania: Don’t even try to act oblivious, Marianna. I know it’s you!
Marianna/Anna: (snidely) Hmmm, Where’s your ”Princess”?
Silvania: You’re only a princess in the Mer Kingdom. On land, You’re just a mere human.
Marianna/Anna: (mockingly) Oooh, Look at that… Little Silvania is finally becoming wild and standing up for herself.
Silvania: I don’t know what you’ve done to Stephen but… (she takes a step forward until she’s now face to face with Marianna) You better leave him alone or be prepared to face the consequences.
Marianna/Anna: Like what?
(Before Silvania can give a reply, Marianna pushes her to the table and pins her down by her throat)
Marinna/Anna: You better behave yourself, You pesky little bit-ch! If you try anything funny, I won’t think twice about ex-posing your shiny little orange tail to Stephen then we’ll know if he’ll ever truly love you for who you really are. (She laughs evilly as she re-leases Silvania) Let that be a warning.
(Marianna/Anna is about to leave when Silvania pu-lls her back and f0rç£fully slams her head into the glas-s dinner table)
Marianna/Anna: Ah!
Silvania: Let that also be a warning.
(Marianna/Anna furiously sl@ps Silvania & She sl@ps Marianna/Anna back immediately)
Marianna/Anna: (g@sps)
Silvania: This isn’t the Mer kingdom where you can act anyhow you choose, I’m going to make sure I put you in your place.
(Silvania brutally shoves Marianna/Anna to the wall & they attempt to strangle each other to death)
Silvania: Argh!
Marianna/Anna: Argh! (she coughs as she starts choking) Uhhhh…
Stephen: (from his room) Anna!
(Marianna/Anna & Silvania re-leases each other’s n£¢ks)
Marianna/Anna: (she coughs until she finally regains herself) Oooh, That must be my boo calling me. (She b!ows a k!ssto Silvania) See you later, Loser!
(She laughs as she goes to Stephen’s room leaving Silvania furtherly annoyed)
Silvania: I have to think of a way to get that bastard out of here… And fast!
(Lucas enters the dining room with his cleaning materials)
Lucas: (scoffs) The Anna lady is an animal, She intentionally bu-mped into me while I was coming down the stairs.
Silvania: We don’t have to refer to her as “Anna” since we now know who she truly is.
Lucas: Well, We can’t be calling her “Princess Marianna”, The others would want to inquire how we know about her… And that could expo-se you.
Silvania: I’m going to figure out how Marianna/Anna made Stephen to fall desperately in love with her, No matter what it takes.
Lucas: I’m in.
Silvania: I’ll nee-d to search around her room, Uh! But It might be locked.
Lucas: (sm-irks) Don’t worry, I know how to pick a lock.
(Later on)
(Silvania & Lucas head upstairs to Marianna/Anna’s room)
Silvania: (peeping from the keyhole) Good, She’s not inside, I’m sure she’s in Stephen’s room (she turns to Lucas) Stay outside and keep watch for me, Okay? Now remember, If you see her coming, Just shout “Oyster”… That’s the code word.
Lucas: Got it. (chuckles) This is so fun, It’s like we’re detectives.
(Silvania smiles at him, Lucas then takes out a hairpin)
Silvania: Hold on. (She gently pushes the door open) She left her room unlocked… How stupid
Lucas: Just go in.
(Silvania enters Marianna/Anna’s room starts searching around it. She searches Marianna/Anna’s be-d, un-der the pillows, her desk, her wardrobe, luggages, the bathroom and toilet but doesn’t find anything)
(Outside the room)
Lucas: (whistling)
(Just then, Marianna/Anna’s enters the hallway)
Lucas: Oh no… (shouts) Oyster! Oyster! Oyster!
(Inside the room)
Silvania: (she hears Lucas shouting and she looks around in panick) Ugh, Why now?!
(Outside the room)
Marianna/Anna: (To Lucas) You tiny br@t… What’re you doing by my room door?
Lucas: Umm… I was just admiring the decorations you put at your door, They are so exquisite. (shouts) Oyster!
Marianna/Anna: Why’re you shouting ”Oyster”?
Lucas: It’s just the chorus to my favorite song. (he smiles at her then shouts one more time) Oyster!
Marianna/Anna: (suspiciously) You’re up to something…
Lucas: No I’m not!
(Marianna/Anna attempts to go inside the room, But Lucas clutches to her leg, pu-lling her backwards)
Lucas: Wait, Wait, Wait…
Marianna/Anna: (irritated) Get your dirty hands off me! (She kicks Lucas away)
(Meanwhile)
(Inside the room)
Silvania: (glancing around) Oh God, Where else haven’t I searched yet? (She looks down) Oh right…
(As Silvania is about to search un-der the be-d, Marianna/Anna enters the room)

**************************************
(Silvania crawls to the wardrobe and hides inside it before Marianna/Anna sees her)
Marianna/Anna: (about Lucas) Stupid br@t… Heaven knows what he was doing beside my door. (She walks to the window and looks outside)
(Silvania comes out of the wardrobe and sees Marianna/Anna distracted, Then she quic-kly eixts the room)
(At the quarters)
Lucas: So… What did you find?
Silvania: (sighs) Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Lucas: Hmph!
Silvania: (sighs) I know she did something to Stephen, I’m 100% sure of it.
(Back in Marianna’s room)
(She takes out her magic shell mirror from un-der the be-d)
Marianna/Anna: (she looks into her magic shell mirror) Suzanne.
Suzanne: Hiii.
Marianna/Anna: Save the plea-santries! There’s something troubling me.
Suzanne: What? Is it Silvania?
Marianna/Anna: Yes. She has figured out that I’m Marianna from the Mer Kingdom.
Suzanne: Ohh, This doesn’t sound good. How come?
Marianna/Anna: (infuriated) Ugh, Don’t ask me stupid questions.
Suzanne: Sorry. Do you think she’ll expo-se you?
Marianna/Anna: She wouldn’t dare try it. I alre-ady threatened to expo-se her as well if she tried anything funny.
Suzanne: This was why I told you to kill her fast, She’s surely going to put a flaw in all of your plans.
Marianna/Anna: You’re right. (She takes out King Jerod’s trident and looks at it) Mmm, Now how should I kill that s¢v-mmy mermaid… By roasting her with a power blast or by stabbing her with the prongs?
Suzanne: (sm-irks) You decide.
(Meanwhile)
(In the ocean)
(Prince Erik takes Alana swimming)
Alana: Woah, I’ve never been to the shallow waters before.
Prince Erik: (sm-irks) There’s a first time for everything.
Alana: (smiling) Truly. But the thing is, I was always scared. I didn’t want to disobey the King and end up in the dungeon.
(They see a pod of Blue whales swimming by)
Prince Erik: (he holds her hand) Come on…
(Erik takes Alana and they swim beside the gigantic whales)
Alana: I’ve never been so close to them. I’m a little bit frightened.
Prince Erik: Don’t be. They might be big but they’re harmless. (He makes whale noises and the whales answer back)
Alana: You speak whale?
Prince Erik: Yup. Fluently.
Alana: What did they say?
Prince Erik: We’re free to swim along with them… As long as we don’t come close to their young.
Alana: (giggling) Fine by me. (She swims forward to catch up with the bigger whales) Whee!
(Hillwood City)
(At Sir Griffin’s mansion)
(In the kitchen)
Rosemary: I overheard Sir Griffin telling his son that he’s going to Miami.
Richa-rd : Yeah… He wants to reconcile with his wife, Gabrielle.
Rosemary: Hmm, I doubt she’ll want to forgive him.
Richa-rd : Why wouldn’t she?
Rosemary: She’ll think he’s not remorseful for his actions, And that he’s only getting back together with her because he’s discovered how deceitful Madam Veronica has been.
Richa-rd : Time will tell.
Rosemary: Madam Gabrielle is a really nice woman, I can’t wait to have her back in the house. By the way, You should’ve told Sir Griffin you’ll drive him to Miami, Remember he’s old.
Richa-rd : He specifically told me that he wants to go alone and I respect his wishes. (He takes a plate of food) We’ll talk later. (He leaves the kitchen)
(Meanwhile )
(In the garage)
Stephen: You’re leaving alre-ady?
Sir Griffin: Yeah. (He puts his box into the car boot)
Stephen: Has she texted her address?
Sir Griffin: Just don’t worry, I’ll find her.
Stephen: Goodluck Dad.
Sir Griffin: Thank you son.
(Sir Griffin enters his car and drives out of the mansion)
Marianna/Anna: (Entering the garage) Where’s he going?
Stephen: To set things right with someone special.
Marianna/Anna: Whatever. (She holds his arms) I want us to spend the whole day in your room together.
Stephen: (hypnotically) If that is your wish.
Marianna/Anna: Let’s go.
(Afterwards)
(Marianna/Anna takes Stephen to his room)
Stephen: (he locks the door)
Marianna/Anna: Better! (desperately) Now k!ssme.
(Without hesitation, Stephen starts k!ss!ngMarianna lvstfully. Just then, His iPhone on his desk rings)
Stephen: (breaking the k!ss) Hold on, Let me get that. (He goes to his desk to check who’s calling)
Marianna/Anna: (inquisitively) Who is it? Is it a woman?
Stephen: No, no… It’s my friend, Alex.
Marianna/Anna: (hisses) Hang up!
Stephen: (hypnotically) If that is your wish.
(As Stephen cuts the call, He notices his sketchpad beside his phone… He opens it and sees the sketch he made of Silvania)
Marianna/Anna: What are you looking at?
(Marianna/Anna swiftly walks over to Stephen and sees that he’s staring at the sketch he made of Silvania)
Marianna/Anna: (infuriated) WHAT’S THIS?!
Stephen: She’s the girl who once saved me from drowning, Her name is Silvania…
(Marianna/Anna angrily sl@ps Stephen across the face)
Marianna/Anna: (enraged) Don’t ever mention that name AGAIN! Do you hear me?!!!
Stephen: (hypnotically) If that is your wish.
(Marianna/Anna furiously tears out the drawing of Silvania from the sketchpad then she tears it further to pieces, She then rolls the paper into a ball & dumps it in the trashcan)
Marianna/Anna: (she places her hands on both sides of his cheeks) Stephen why are you doing this to me? I’ve given you all of my love and yet you still have eyes for another… What more do you want?
Stephen: (hypnotically) Forgive me.
Marianna/Anna: It’s alright. Just go and get me some refreshments, I nee-d to calm my nerves.
(Stephen leaves the room)
Marianna/Anna: (worriedly) I can’t believe he still mentioned that s¢v-mmy mermaid’s name, He was meant to hate her and forget all about her and have eyes for only ME! I’ll have to get him un-der a ti-ghter spell. (She goes to her room to retrieve King Jerod’s trident)
(Meanwhile)
(Stephen approaches the kitchen and hears Silvania singing)
Silvania: (vocalizing) 🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶
Stephen: (he clutches his head slightly as Marianna’s enchantment over him dissolves) Silvania…
Silvania: (she turns around) Oh, Sir Stephen… (She notices his weariness) Are you okay?
Stephen: (blinking his eyes continuously) Yeah… I think
Silvania: How come you’re not repeating your usual words to me this time?
Stephen: What usual words?
Silvania: (mimicking Stephen) “Silvania, I can never ever love you no matter what you do or how beautiful you are”
Stephen: (puzzled) I don’t remember saying that to you.
Silvania: But ever since you and Miss Anna started d@t!ng, That’s all you’ve been saying to me.
Stephen: Whoa, whoa, whoa… Anna and I were never d@t!ng.
Silvania: But you two are.
Stephen: (furtherly confused) No, We’re not. I never asked her to be my girlfriend. I’m sure of it.
Silvania: (confused) Something’s not right. Wait, After she took you to her room the other day, What did she do to you?
Stephen: That’s what I’m trying to remember, But I know I’ve haven’t been myself after she took me to her room that day… That woman did something to me. (He angrily leaves the kitchen) Anna! Anna!
(Stephen furiously heads back to his room & Silvania follows him)
