Chapter 4: New Friend

"Now the question is: why?" said Ruby when she had just come back with Ariel's milkshake. Ariel smiled, "Sit down and I'll tell you."

Ruby sat down and Ariel told her about a prince in her land named Eric and that she met him and only had one dance with him, and how they fell in love and how he told her how he wanted to see the world but some things happened and he left without her, Ariel said everything really carefully she didn't want to leave any sign that she was a mermaid.

When she finished the backstory she said "So because of the curse, I think he's here in Storybrooke." Ruby listened through the hole thing but didn't say a word. Ruby thought about how she wanted to help Ariel and how she was going to help Ariel. "Your story is very similar to mine, we're much alike" Said Ruby smiling. Ariel could feel like there was something about Ruby's past that made her different, she could feel some sort of magic in her, and yes that was one of Ariel's powers, she could always know if someone or something had magic, not every magical "creature" could do that.

"I'm going to help you find your prince." said Ruby finally. Ruby couldn't believe the size of Ariel's smile. "Really?" "Yes, and I think I know a place that we can find out in he really is in town." said Ruby smiling. Ariel jumped out of her seat "Let's Go!" "Wait!" said Ruby laughing, "You need to do something first" Ariel didn't like this. "What?" "Tell me your name" They both laughed (Ariel felt relieved) "Ariel, my name is Ariel." "Well nice to meet you Ariel." said Ruby smiling.

Ariel liked this girl.
