I really hope people like my new fanfiction as much as my old ones. I hope you enjoy and as always reviews are always appreciated . Also next chapter will be way longer

Ariel was happy to get a break from the party. The fresh air always calmed her down. She was really annoyed with Eric, how could he not come to the party? Now there was all this speculation about their marriage being on the rocks. She knew that Cinderella and Snow White meant well but it came off as patronizing. There was nothing she hated more than being pitted.

"Ariel are you okay?" asked a concerned Jasmine emerging from the glass doors.

"I am fine I just needed some fresh air," said Ariel as she forced a smile

"Don't let what the other two said to you get you it is quite normal for…"

But Ariel cut her off," Eric and I are fine really!"

"You know a couple years ago Aladdin and I spent a couple months apart."

"Really," said a surprised Ariel

"Yeah we were driving each other crazy! Sometimes after being with a person for so long the spark that brought you together starts to fade and you get in a rut."

"But I saw you two earlier you guys looked so happy, you guys seem so in love."

"We are in love and happy now. We just had to work some problems out and find that spark that brought us together. We never stopped loving each other," explained Jasmine she then looked back through the window and Ariel saw a huge smile emerge as she was watching Aladdin and the new Prince Eugene Fitzhubert were laughing

"Look how in love those two look Rapunzel and Eugene," sighed an looked at Rapunzel come over kiss Eugene envy filled up in her an emotion she hated having , "Do you ever miss that feeling you had when you and Aladdin first got together? Where everything was new and you just wanted to spend every second together and get to know each other better."

"Yeah I guess but it will fade eventually. I personally like the point we are at now."

"Yeah me too," lied Ariel

"Ariel there is nothing wrong with admitting you're having problems or with being annoyed with him bailing tonight."

"Were fine Jasmine," said Ariel in a sharp tone then felt bad immediately after she knew she was just trying to help her, "I am sorry I didn't mean to snap I just feel very lonely with Melody gone and Eric gone all the time. Then coming here and seeing everyone together with their love ones just made me realize how I was feeling."

"Well if your ever lonely feel free to call me and I can stop by or you to stop bye," said Jasmine

"Thanks Jasmine I might take you up on your offer, let's head back into the party I haven't said hi to Aladdin yet."

The two girls walked back into the party together and Ariel started to have a good time getting re acquainted with all her old friends again. The annual ball was always her favorite time of the year it was usually the only time where she saw some of the girls and she was fond of every single one of them. She put Eric out of her mind there was no point in letting him ruin her fun. Even though it did annoy her whenever anyone asked with that worried look she was just shrug it off. She didn't need anyone pitying her or thinking her marriage was on the rocks.

"How your first ball treating you?" asked Ariel as Rapunzel was filling up her plate with food

"I am having the best time," said a excited Rapunzel ," Everyone has been so great to me… I feel like everyone likes me I sure hope everyone likes me."

Ariel couldn't help but laugh she remembered being that young and naïve. She saw a lot of her old self in Rapunzel," Of course everyone likes you," she said! Just then the music started playing and the princes took their princesses to the dance floor. Then it hit her that she was alone again. She saw how Adam looked at Belle , she couldn't remember the last time Eric looked at her like that. Would they ever get back to that moment or were they just different people now?
