Ariel has done many reckless things as a mermaid. But flying is the most dangerous thing she has ever done in her life. It was such a rush. Every minute was electrifying and she counted it as bliss. The wind flew through her silky, red hair as she awed at the breathtaking sights of Neverland.
"Hey, Ariel!" Peter shouted from behind her.
"What is it?" Ariel tore her eyes from the scenery looked at him.
"I'd hold onto me if I were you!"
She gripped onto his slender body as the two swooped up and landed on a high cloud.
"Get ready!" Peter smiled at Ariel as her eyes became wide with fear.
"Wait!" she looked down, "What are we doing exactly?"
"You'll find out!" Peter took her hand and they slid down into the lower clouds.
He left her to bounce as she dropped in front of a massive island-length rainbow, Peter landing slowly next to her.
"Are you coming?" Peter eyed the rainbow mischievously.
"What?" Ariel was slightly confused at what he was asking her.
"Sit on my lap." He smiled as Ariel obeyed.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered quietly, "Now hold on for the ride." Peter pushed down.
Ariel couldn't help herself from laughing like a fool. She never had so much fun! The colors breezed past her, whooping her hair from one side from the next, but she didn't care. She was happy for once; her father wasn't blasting orders at her, and no nagging from Sebastian! Best. Day. Ever.
"Peter, where are we landing?" Ariel asked looking up at him.
"Easy, we fall off wherever the rainbow stops." He answered casually.
"The rainbow STOPS!" she got scared as Peter's arms grew tighter around her waist.
"No worries, I got you." He smiled as the rainbow slowly faded away and the two fell in the water.
"Wasn't that awesome?" Peter laughed as Ariel smiled.
"It was great! I love-" she got cut off by the feeling on her legs. They were melting together. Oh my God, Ariel thought, daddy saw me with him. She poked her head under the water and saw that the two beautiful legs she had seconds ago was now a long, silky tail.
"What happened?" the red haired boy looked curiously at Ariel as she pointed underwater.
Peter dove under and saw her tail.
"Oh, your tail is back." He shrugged casually.
"This is awful!" she sighed swimming over to a rock and laying on it.
"It isn't that bad…" he lifted into the air and landed on top of the rock she was on, "I can see you in the lagoon."
"No, not that," Ariel brushed that away, "My father."
"What about him?" Peter asked leaning closer to her.
She whispered in his ear, "He saw us together." urgently.
"We're just friends." Peter implied and then added, "We are just friends right?"
"Yeah, of course we are!" Ariel giggled and then grew concerned, "He doesn't think that."
"Well go tell him." He was too calm about this. Is he always this carefree? Ariel wished she was him…never growing up and having no parents. He's luckier than he thinks!
"Your way too calm about this." Ariel verbalized her thoughts to him.
"I'm calm about everything." Peter flew circles around her and then whispered into her ear, "Don't worry, things will go fine."
With that, he flew away and left Ariel to her doom.
"Daddy," Ariel swam up to her father's throne room in the massive palace, "Why did you turn my legs back into a tail? I still had one day left!"
King Triton looked at his confused daughter from his throne and furrowed his dark grey eyebrows.
"Ariel," he went into his I'm-about-to-give-a-speech-about-life-value modes, she could tell, "I didn't send you on land to talk to boys."
"He is just a friend!" Ariel tried to mask her anger.
"He isn't just a friend; he is that vulgar boy who can't grow up!" Triton's eyes grew with concern, "I don't want you talking to him anymore. He gives bad examples for your future.
"He has a name daddy, it's Peter!" Ariel raised her voice at him, "And I happen to have FUN with him! Of course, you don't even know what that word means anymore!"
Back when Ariel and her sisters were little, Triton was the best father they could ask for. He joked around, played, and took care of them along with their mother. When she got hit by a ship to save Ariel's sisters, his mood instantly deflated. He was never the same since. Occasionally, he would have a spark of enthusiasm and joy when everyone was happy, but it only lasted for about one hour.
"Ariel!" her father bellowed, "Don't you raise your voice at me!"
"I can do what I want, including seeing Peter!" she replied fiercely.
"No you can't, I FORBID you from seeing him!" he raised his triton and banged it on the ivory throne, making it permanent.
Ariel's eyes welled with tears as she hastily swam out of the throne room, leaving a regretful father behind her.
Ariel: I hate my dad.
Me: *turning around yawning* Umm...ok then.
Ariel: Sorry, just needed to get that out.
Peter: *bursts through window with computer in hand* WHAT! WHY IS SHE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE ME?
Ariel: I know right, worst dad ever!
Peter: How will I see you again?
Me: I don't know if you will, I'm waiting for reviews.
Ariel: Rev-
Peter: *cutting Ariel off* REVIEW, I HAVE TO SEE HER AGAIN!
