Ariel paced nervously as she looks at her hair. He would be there any moment to take her out to dinner and her hair just wouldn't corporate. She finally just put it up as she heard the doorbell ring. The redhead doubled checked her dress. It was sea-foam green and went to her knees. She quickly put on her silver heels and ran to the door. When it opened it revealed her boyfriend of four years Jim Hawkins. The brunette was dressed in a nice red shirt with a black tie and black pants. "Wow...you look as beautiful as the day I meet you."

It was Jim's first day of college. He was a transfer from a local community college to a now four-year university. As he walked around trying to find his dorm he collided with something or rather someone. Him being the bigger person the young girl feel to her feet. "will you watch it." Jim looked down at a girl with super bright red hair. When she looked up his brown eyes were met with pure blue ones. She blushed as he quickly kneeled down to help her pick up her books. "I am so sorry. I'm so lost and I am just trying to find my building and I have no idea what I'm doing….." Jim rambled on and on as the redhead giggled. "It's okay...hi I'm Ariel." He smiled softly as he handed her her book. "Hawkins, Jim Hawkins"

Ariel smiled at the memory as she blushed. "Thank you love. You look well too." They exchanged another smile as he opened the door for her and lead her to his car. "So what is special about tonight? I mean we get all dressed up for what?" She looked confused as they pulled up to a nice resturant. "Can't I treat my princess every once in awhile?" He avoided the question as he lead her into the restaurant. They sat and had a lovely dinner. After dessert Jim left the car at the restaurant and lead Ariel to a nearby park. "I never asked...where is Melody tonight?" Ariel had a daughter with her high school boyfriend. A teenage pregnancy with a happy ending, since others at her school who had gotten pregnant at 16 never graduated on time or just dropped out altogether. Ariel on the other hand had her daughter, even after Eric left her, then graduated in the top 10 percent of her class and now had a degree in music education. She was now a choir teacher at the local high school. "She is at my father's" Ariel smiled. Jim was amazing with Melody and never made her feel bad about already having a child. As the couple walked around the park they held hands and smiled at each other. "Ariel?" Jim asked as they stopped by a fountain. "Yes Jim dear?" The young man smiled as he sat her on the fountain. "I love you...and I always will..however I don't want to be your boyfriend anymore." The redhead frowned as she almost started to cry. "Shh it's okay don't cry…" Jim pulled out a small box. "because I want to be so much more. I want to be your husband. I want to wake up next to you every morning. I want to be Melody's father and for us to be a family. I want to have kids of our own and I want to grow old with you. Well what I'm saying is. Ariel Marie Jensen will you marry me." Ariel really did cry now but happy tears. "oh of course I will Jim nothing would make me happier. I love you" As the two kissed Jim slipped the small ring on her finger. It was a diamond shaped like a seashell with a blue stones representing Melody's birthstone surrounding it. "It's beautiful Jim" He gave his cocky smirk. "Not as beautiful as you my love." The two kissed once more under the moonlight.

Hey everyone. This will be a short fan fiction about Jim and Ariel's engagement, wedding and life. It will be short only 4 or 5 chapters. And yes I made Ariel a teen mom. Mostly because she could have been since in the first movie she was 16 and we don't know how many years her and Eric waited to have Melody. Please Read and Review.
