All the girls met in the library later that night. Ariel had made some chocolate chip cookies and everyone really enjoyed them.
Belle began looking through all the books and the other girls just sat there silently for a few minutes, no one knowing what to talk about.
"So." Aroura finally said "How about we all get to know each other a little more? Snow White why don't you tell us about your family?"
"Well..." Snow White looked around uneasily "My mother died when I was born so my father remarried but then... he died too so it was just me and my step mother.
"Me too" Cinderella said looking surprised
"Your step mother was probably nice and sweet. Mine was evil, she tried to poison me." Snow White said
They all started discussing their families and how they met their husbands, all of them except for Ariel.
Pretty soon Aroura noticed her silence "What's wrong Ariel? Are you going to tell us about your family?"
All the girls were quiet and looked at her expectantly.
"This is probably going to sound crazy but..." she paused for a moment looking around the room.
"Go ahead Ariel you can tell us!" Cinderella said encouragingly
"Yeah we've heard it all!" Belle added "Curses, dragons, poisoned apples, magical shoes, you can tell us!"
"Well before i met Eric I wasn't human, I didn't live on land. I was a mermaid." She smiled, happy to get to tell her story. she told them everything. She told them how she saved Eric from the shipwreck, how she traded her voice for legs, and how they finally got rid of the evil sea witch.
When she finished the story Snow White was in tears "You were so brave!" she half sobbed.
Belle patted Snow on the back as she dried her eyes "Well that was an unexpected story! Have you ever thought of having it written down, you know like into a book?" she asked.
"Thats a good idea Belle!" Aroura said excitedly "We could write all of our stories! I am sure someone would like to read them!"
Everyone agreed so they wrote down all of there stories from beginning to end. They all signed the book and put it onto the shelf in the library.
The next day Snow White, and Cinderella decided to teach Ariel how to bake a pie since she had never made one before. She was amazed at how something could change so much when exposed to heat. When the pie was done all the girls went outside to have a picnic in the meadow.
"Yum I love blueberry pie!" Aroura said. Everyone else obviously enjoyed it too because it was soon gone.
It was a perfect day. The wind blew strong bringing the scent of the salty ocean. The sky was blue and full of puffy white clouds.
Belle sat on the picnic blanket reading a book, Aroura and Snow White picked some flowers, and Cinderella and Ariel exchanged story's about their lives.
The day was so pleasant and eventually Aroura started to sing "I know you i walked with you once upon a dream" Snow White joined in "I know you the gleam in your eyes is so familiar"
They all started singing. the wind blew their voices far and the entire village smiled at the sound of their sweet voices.
