…
At breakfast the next morning, Eric informed Ariel of the man he had found.
"Appeared on the shore, just like you did," he told her, making her widen her eyes slightly. "Could he be from the same wreck as you?" She shrugged, not quite sure what he meant. He nodded at her and then smiled. "Well, here he comes now! Finn, how'd you rest?"
"Fine…" he said slowly, entering the room. Ariel turned in her seat to see him and was surprised when she felt her stomach twist and turn and burn in excitement.
No one had made this feeling arise in her; what was this man?
She took in his appearance, surprised by the familiar-ness that radiated from him. He was tall, about the height of Prince Eric himself, but his hair was… was it blue?! It was! His hair was a dark blue with light blue shaded throughout it; and his eyes… they were the sweetest green she had ever seen.
The burning increased in her stomach, so she turned from him and chugged down a glass of water. The man took a seat next to her, and she spared a glance at him.
He gave her a warm, cheeky smile, and that feeling of him being familiar to her ran through her veins again.
"Hello," he said to her. She opened her mouth to speak, but remembered she couldn't. Shaking her head, she turned away.
"She can't speak," Eric commented, making him nod. He just smiled at her instead.
"I bet, if you could speak," he told her quietly, so only she could hear, "you'd have a beautiful voice." She blushed and looked away, cheeks flaming.
Who was this man, and what was he doing to her?
…
Flounder watched Ariel blush furiously from his comment. It made him feel good to know that he could do that to her.
Being human seemed to come naturally to him, which was weird; he assumed Ursula had some part in that. As breakfast ended, Ariel caught up to him, eyes narrowed.
He knew that look.
…
During breakfast, Ariel had watched him.
He looked familiar.
His mannerisms were familiar.
And his voice was too.
It reminded her…
But no, that wasn't possible!
Was it?
She caught up to him after breakfast had ended and looked at him, eyes narrowed.
She watched as he looked nervous.
She gaped at him and mouthed a name.
"Flounder?"
She waited. He took a deep breath and nodded. She looked so angry that he took a step back. She began mouthing furiously at him and swinging her arms.
She was extremely angry.
He grabbed her arms and held her small wrists in his hands.
"I did this for you."
She stopped and stared at him, unsure what he meant.
"I…I had Ursula make me human."
"Why?!"
"…I… I was worried about you. I wanted to make sure you were taken care of here." Her eyes softened at him and she cupped his face with one of her hands.
"Flounder," she mouthed, giving him a soft smile. "Don't be such a guppy." He chuckled and then sighed. "What?"
"Ariel… is this what you want?"
"What?"
"To be with him… To be human?" She thought about that and the way he, Flounder, her best friend, was making her feel at that moment, just by looking at her.
But she asked a question of her own.
"What did you promise her?"
He shook his head and gave her a sad smile.
"Are you ready for our trip into town?" Eric asked at that time, making Flounder and Ariel take a step from each other. Ariel nodded and waved goodbye to Flounder, who waved back. "Finn, would you like to come as well?"
"No thank you. I think I might just rest."
…
While out with Eric, Ariel was lost in thought so deep she couldn't even enjoy the beautiful town she was visiting, or the man she claimed to love by her side.
Why was this?
Could Flounder as a human have had that much effect on her?
And what had he promised the Sea Witch so he could become human?
And…
Did he do all of that for her?
Why would he do all of that for her?
And then, it hit her.
Tugging on Eric's sleeve, she pointed to the castle.
"You want to return to the castle?" he asked, making her nod feverishly. He looked at Grimsby, who was sitting by the coach looking bored. "I still have some things to do. Will you let Grimsby take you back?" She nodded and went over with Eric. "Take her back to the castle please."
Grimsby nodded and they set off.
Ariel had made up her mind.
…
Flounder was surprised when Ariel had shown up at his room.
"Come on!" she mouthed, pulling and tugging on him until he was walking with her. He couldn't help but suppress a smile; this was the Ariel he had known for so long. They were soon out of the castle and onto the beach, but they didn't stop there.
Ariel kept walking until they were waist deep in the water, their clothes soaked and weighing them down.
"What are we doing here?" She smiled at him and hugged him briefly before looking up at him.
"I know why you did this."
"Oh really? Do you now?" She nodded and stood up on her tiptoes.
Her lips were barely an inch from his before he spoke. "You sure?" She nodded and smiled again, joy and love clear in her big blue eyes.
Then, they slowly pressed their lips together and kissed deeply.
A loud screeched could be heard as soon as they pulled apart;water erupted around them as if a volcano erupted below them, circling them and engulfing them.
Not letting go of the other, Ariel and Flounder let the water pull them under.
…
Oooh whats gonna happen now?
Guess we'll see ;)
See ya'll next time.
