Act I
The Sea Witch tells us a story of a Little Merperson who lived under the sea where all kinds of sea creatures reside, including jellyfish and many kinds of fish. Today is the Little Merperson's birthday and they're finally old enough to swim to the surface of the ocean and watch the shore from afar.
The Little Merperson's 4 mersisters tell them stories of the shore before placing flowers on them and sending them off for their first adventure on the surface.
When the Little Merperson breaches the ocean's surface, they see flamingos wading through the water and dancing. Then, they see their first human women. They're all so beautiful, and they all have legs, just like the Flamingos.
As it begins getting dark, the Little Merperson starts swimming away from the shore towards home, when the water starts getting stormy. The Little Merperson happens upon a ship caught in the waves. A human man is thrown from the ship. The Little Merperson saves them, swimming them all the way to the shore. When the humans spot him lying on the beach, the Little Merperson quickly swims away, back towards home.
The Little Merperson wishes to be back on shore, so.
They decide to visit the Sea Witch and ask for legs and to be able to visit the humans.
The Sea Witch tells the Little Merperson, they must exchange the legs for their voice and they must get true love's fuck by the human in 48 hours or they will perish into seafoam.
The Little Merperson agrees.
Act II
The Little Merperson admires their legs on the shore when a human man approaches them. Not just any human man. It's the human man the Little Merperson saved from the storm, and it turns out, they're a Prince!
The Prince introduces themselves and notes that the Little Merperson looks familiar... since the Little Merperson appears lost, the Prince invites them to stay in the castle. The Mersisters call to the Little Merperson, begging them to join them back in the ocean, but the Little Merperson goes with the Prince to the castle.
The next day is the big beach party and the Little Merperson is falling hard for the Prince. They're pretty sure the Prince feels the same. At the beach party, the Prince introduces the Little Merperson to everyone at the party. The Little Merperson has the time of their life.
Until the Hot Maiden enters and steals the Prince's attention.
They know each other. They have history. The Prince seems to forget about the Little Merperson entirely. The Little Merperson is forlorn. Their mersisters call to them once more as they experience unrequited love and come to terms with their fate: to turn to foam.
Just before their 48 hours is up, the Little Merperson peeks into the Prince's bedroom window. They find the Prince cuddling with the Hot Maiden in bed. Just before the Little Merperson can leave and turn into seafoam, the Prince invites the Little Merperson in for a joyous, pansexual threesome with the Hot Maiden. The Little Merperson can live happily ever after with two true loves afterall.
The End
