It's almost time! Attina is a beautiful bride and couldn't be more excited. Her five sisters stood checking each end of her dress for perfection and nothing less. One was missing.

"Where's Ariel?" asked Attina.

"You know Ariel," said Alana the second eldest, who was cut stray strands from her dress. "Always late to a special occasion."

"Fashionably maybe?" Adrinna added covering for her. Adrinna was the younger sister but older than Ariel. The two of them were always able to talk she was also the only one that knew about the second moon. However the tone she used she didn't even believe that herself.

"She can't be she's the maid of honor." Said Attina worried.

"Yes about that," said Adella as she paused from fixing her hair. "Why couldn't I be your MOH, or Aquata or even Alana? It makes no sense to put the youngest first."

"Hey what about me?" Arista cried, pouting at Adella.

"You'll cry all over her dress."

"Enough you two. Ariel must learn what the rest of you know already." Answered Attina calmly. All of them looked back and forth at one another with blank faces. "She must learn to follow her heart." She smiled.

Just then Ariel rushed inside fully dressed and with curls wrapped with seaweed in her hair. "I'm here!" she shouted surprising everyone. "I'm on time Attina. I told you I wouldn't be late." She said smiling brightly.

The six stared at the sea sponges stuck to her tail and the seaweed in her hair. Adrinna face palm herself and waited to be told to eat her words. She rushed over to Ariel and began to remove her curls and sea sponges. Ariel frowned her head low at Adella's look of shame burned the back of her neck.

"Attina.." said King Triton lovingly, they had not noticed he entered the room. He looked at his beautiful daughter admiring the gown his wife once wore. "You look just like your mother…" Attina blushed for she had hope to do it justice. "She would have wanted you to have this." He came over to Attina holding a pearl necklace aligned with different sizes and with a flattened pearl as the centerpiece. Ariel along with the rest of the sisters was in awe as he places a dazzling necklace upon her. Ariel was grateful for her father's words for she did not remember her mother at all. The sight of her sister and her motherly ways made this day so much better.

It was nearly time for the wedding to begin and the seats were filling fast. Ariel along with Adella and Adrinna swam to the curtains to peak out at the audience. There were so many of those two leggers along with other aquatic creatures she has never seen through out her years. Nervous Ariel grabbed Adrinna's hand. She squoze back assuring her with a smile as their eyes met

"It's okay, Ariel. I'm sure they are all civilized." Ariel puts on a brave face and a new leaf had swept over her. She will get all of her question answered tonight.

…

It was time to meet the groom's men. Six gentlemen stood aligned in the palace hall awaiting broad chest tall each in suits batman himself created, talking amongst themselves. There was Batman, Green Lantern, Martian, Superman, Shazam and Vision. These were men that had fought along side Aquaman, he was surely proud to have them at his disposal today.

"Alright men, these are respected women of the seven seas. Please don't embarrass me." Arthur chuckled nervously.

"Don't worry my mans, we got cha b's" said Shazam showing off a board smile and a thumbs up.

"You're not embarrassed by us are ya old man?" Green Lantern says raising an eyebrow.

"No of course not, it's just that this guy doesn't like "two leggers" as he calls us and I really want Attina. Any screw ups and he takes her away from me." Batman sees the head of his old friend drops; he goes over to put a supportive hand on his old friends back.

"All will be well my friend, this is just another battle and we haven't lost one yet."

He cheers up quickly and smiles but still he was troubled. Bruce knew where his thoughts lie. He was thinking of the failure of his last wife Mera. She along with the rest of the city were attacked by a witch and her minion eels while Aquaman was away on a distraction battle. When he got back to her body was drained of her blood and she lye stiff on the sheets in her bedchamber.

Aquaman was so ashamed. He only told Batman and Superman what really happen. Martian figured it out when he read the thoughts of Aquaman. Author was oblivious to that fact. He spent many years searching for the wench and only got pieces of the witch plans, but she was no where to be found. Later he met with the kings of the seven seas for an alliance for their protection. That's when he met Attina, mature strong and so beautiful. She reminded him so much of Mera that the pain faded and he fell in love. Losing her would break him and Bruce knew lost more than anyone.

The doors at the end of the Hall had finally opened. Each man stood broad once again and waited as the bride's maids swam gentle and exquisitely to their side.

They were gorgeous, each one varied in sized and style and color. Batman watched in awed as his partner swam to his side. Her hair red and fair, he was able to catch its floral aroma.

Ariel's eyes were low to the floor. Batman caught her mumbling something under her breath she was counting. He scoffed with a smile and finally her blue blissed eyes met his.

Author cleared his throat to prepare himself before leading himself into the throne room. Batman had not stopped looking into Ariel's eyes. He was nudged by the Green Lantern to take his place after the groom. He snapped awake and cleared his throat as well. He took carefully the small hand of the mermaid and led her into hall next. The others followed accordingly and parted ways at the alter.

The music was magic and the setting was perfect. Flowers were laid in the aisle just moments before the bells chimes and all stood for the entrance of the bride.

Batman however was in no way interested as the tear happy bride enters with her father. Nor did he know that the ceremony began and vowls were spoken. His eyes and thoughts rested heavily on Ariel, it was nearly impossible not to notice her. The clock a cord ans the moon light shined down through the sky light. Ariel's hair begins to darken but none had noticed except blue. He watch intensely as her hair changed to an ebony shadow her eyes were closed her head low tears fell as the Justice of Peace said the words "Man and wife"

It was then her eyes had fluttered free and the neon blue and the tears highlighted her smile. Bruce only wondered how was she possible?
