Ariel loved collecting human objects. But the young redhead mermaid had a secret love interest. It was actually her sister Adella. But Ariel knew her father would never approve, nor would Adella. Ariel sighed. "I wish Adella would see me the way I see her." she said.

Meanwhile, Adella was sleeping. "I love you Ariel." she mumbled to herself.

Adella awoke to an empty room. "It was only a dream." she said, sighing.

Around noon, Ariel met up with her oldest sister Attina. "Hi Attina." she said.

Attina smiled. "Hi. How are you today, Ariel?" she asked.

Ariel sighed. "Still in love." she said.

Attina smiled. "With Adella?" she asked.

Ariel gasped. "How do you know?" she asked.

Attina smiled. "Don't think I didn't see the way you look at her. Just remember that incest is illegal here, not to mention same-sex relationships." she said.

Ariel sighed. "You forget that our father is the king. Maybe I can convince him to change the laws." she said.

Attina laughed. "I don't think it'll be so easy." she said.

Ariel smiled. "Don't get too confident. You never know what'll happen until it does." she said, swimming away.

Attina stood there stunned for a minute, then swam off. "It's her loss." she said.
