Ariel burst open the door. She flaunted a party hat and a pink, feather boa. In one hand, she carried three glasses and in the other hand, a fine bottle of champagne. "I heard my little brother was getting married and he didn't even tell me," she laughed.
Adam was sulking on his couch. All the curtains were closed and lights off. She could only see him because of the light coming in through the still opened door. He was slouched over with his elbows on his knees and his hands holding his head. "But, were not-" he began to groan.
"Not by blood," She teased before pretending to pout. "But I thought since you look up to me, like a big sister." She put down the champagne and glasses to open the curtains to reveal the damage. An end table had fallen over and brought with it a lamp that shattered to pieces upon impact. He was still in his employee uniform, that Ariel knew he despised. "What happened in here?" her happy attitude seemed to trail off.
"I tripped on some stuff when I got home," he lied.
She picked up the champagne again. "Well this conversation is cham-painful compared to the party welcome I was hoping for," she joked, gently waving the champagne at 'cham-painful'.
He brushed back his hair with his hand as he looked up. "Who's the third glass for?"
"I was kinda hoping the bride would be here since you two are such love birds."
He looked down again. "Eh… She went to the castle to celebrate with the other princesses. I can't believe you missed her on your way over here."
She leaned against the counter in the kitchen. "I can't believe you're finally tying the knot after all these years."
"Ariel... I need someone to talk to."
"Okay," she said as she sat down in the armchair next to him. She rested her elbow on the chair's arm and placed her chin upon her hand. "Shoot."
"What if you liked someone a whole lot, but it was against the rules to actually be with them? I'm having trouble coming up with an answer for.. my friend. "
"You're talking about Snow White aren't you?"
"How did you-" Adam began as he looked up at her.
"Oh, come on. I'm pretty sure everyone in the park knows except the big mouse."
"He does now," Adam mumbled as he looked back at the ground. "He's going to send her away.."
"I warned you didn't I?"
"I didn't listen," he groaned.
"I don't know why I thought you would this time. I guess it was bound to happen between the both of you."
"What are you talking about?" He asked.
She frowned and looked towards the window. "It's not my job to remind you of the past, just merely to make sure it doesn't happen again."
"Out of all the characters, why did Disney spare you?"
She looked at him before she slouched in her chair. "You aren't the only one who asks for advice..."
