".....you will remain human permanently. But, without the kiss, you'll turn back into a mermaid." Ariel shivered at the words the seas witch spoke. For years now she had dreamed of exploring the surface world, seeing a new and exciting world, finding true love, and everything else she knew she would never get out of staying stuck with fins instead of legs.
The very thought of being stuck in the ocean any longer the worst thing that could happen to her.

*Grrrrrrumble!*

The two of them blinked as Ursula embaressedly rubbed her large belly.
"Pardon me dear." she said. While she tried to play it off with a smile, it felt like days had gone by since she had a decent sized meal. Ursula's corpulent and lucious form required plenty of food to keep it big and round. When Triton banished her all those years ago, she had been a sleek beauty that any merfolk, male or female would have wanted to mate with. Now she was seen as this obese creature that only served to frighten everyone away in fear that she might eat them.
How fitting, because just then Ursula realized that she was hungry for something "Bigger" than the usual marine life.

"You know, I was thinking. This is a rather extreme and life altering wish. Perhaps you'd like a preview before I make it permanent enough."
