As Ariel rose out of bed, a smile was created upon her face. She stood up straight and walked to her calendar. Jumping for joy, she ran to her window and whispered to herself, "Today's the day." Searching for her phone, she saw that she had received a message from a very special someone.

Good morning sunshine (: Can't wait to see you later! I'll pick you up at 12. See you soon! –Eric

"It's 11!?" Ariel zoomed out of her room to take a shower. "How long was I at the party!?" Ariel quickly tried to remember what happened that night. She remembered that she came home at around 2 in the morning. Oh yeah, I snuck back in the house. Good thing Aquata was still up. If it wasn't for her, Daddy would've killed me. Ariel thought while she quickly shampooed her hair. After she was done, she scurried to her room. "Now, what to wear?"

"Belle! The fine young man who took you home last night is here!" Maurice said as he looked at Adam. "I'm almost done Papa! Talk to him or something!" Maurice smiled and examined Adam closely. "Which reminds me, what is your name young man?"

"Adam, sir." Adam said as professionally as possible. He smiled to assure Maurice that he's a humble young man.

"So Adam, thank you for taking my daughter home last night by the way. That was very kind of you to do that. Now, I know today is your date with my daughter. I want her home by 10! And no funny business!" Maurice said it a jokingly tone, but yet he was serious too. Adam knew that of course.

"Yes sir! And you're very welcome. Didn't want Belle to go home by herself. I don't know what I'll do if something happened to her. And don't worry! I'll have her home by 9 if you would like." Adam said with a smile. He knew how fathers were when it comes to daughters. As they were talking, Belle comes down.

"Wow… You look.. Amazing." Belle blushed wildly at Adam's comment. She was wearing a bright yellow dress. Not too formal, casual enough to walk around with in a park.

"Thank you, Adam. Daddy, we'll be going now." Belle gave her father a small kiss on the cheek and Adam gave a handshake.

"Have fun, you two! And Adam, don't break my little girl's heart!" Maurice said in a stern voice. Adam looked at Belle and chuckled.

"I don't count on doing that sir, not with a daughter as beautiful as her." Adam said to Maurice. Maurice nodded and the teenagers were on their way.

"Daddy! This is Eric." Ariel said as she pulled Eric. She knew that if she didn't introduce him to her father, there will be problems. Triton looked at Eric and scratched his chin. "Hello Eric, it's a pleasure to finally meet you." Eric smiled, which made Ariel's sisters melt, and held out his hand to Triton. "The pleasure is all mine sir!" Eric smiled once again, and Triton shook his hand. "Listen here boy, I don't want any funny business between you two, understand? I want her home by 10."

"Yes sir. You can count on me. I'll take care of her." As Eric said this, Ariel's sister Adela came up to him and gave him a hug.

"Wow Ariel, this one's cute! Care to share, sis?" Adela said jokingly while Ariel scowled. Eric on the other hand, laughed.

"Sorry, I'm all hers." Triton smiled as Eric said those words. Maybe he's a faithful guy. But yet I still don't trust him.

"Well I guess we're off now Daddy!" Ariel rushed to her daddy to give him a kiss, and then rushed back to Eric's side before her sisters get him. Then out the door they went. "I like him for Ariel. He's cute and seems very loyal." Attina said as she hugged her father. "Lighten up daddy, trust her on this one." Triton nods. Deep down, he still doesn't trust him. But if it's for his daughter, he'll accept him. For now.

You know the drill! R&R! (: thanks! Have a magical day!
