Ariel finished up here homework and started to get ready for bed. She changed into her pajamas and got in bed. She was just about to fall asleep when she heard a tap on her window. She got up and walked over to the window. She opened the curtains to see Jim on the top of the tree by her window.

"What are you doing here?" asked Ariel.

"I wanted to talk to you. Can I come in?"

"Sure, just keep it down you don't want to wake up my dad."

"Man I can't remember the last time I came to your house."

"Yeah it's been a while. What did you want to talk to me about?"

"Oh, I just wanted to apologize for acting so weird earlier."

"Yeah what was that about?"

"Nothing I just had a long day."

"I think it's more than that, Jim."

"I don't know."

"Well, if you ever figure out what it is let me know. You can always talk to me."

"Great. So how was Walt's?"

"Good. Eric is so funny he's a really cool guy. By the way, we were going to get smoothies after school tomorrow, you wanna join?"

"Sure sounds like fun. I guess I better get home."

"Yeah see you later"

Jim opened the window and Ariel watched him climb down the tree and walk away. She laid down on her bed thinking of the amazing first day she had. She made new friends, was reconnected with an old one, went to a basketball game and dinner, was planning a party that weekend since her dad was leaving in the morning, and her best friend is flying in to visit. Life couldn't get any better.

The next morning, Ariel hugged and kissed her dad goodbye as he left for the airport. She grabbed her backpack and headed out the door. She was just unlocking her car when someone pulled up in her driveway.

"Hey girl." It was Charlotte. "Mind if I give you a ride to school, I thought we can talk."

"Sure, thanks." Ariel locked her car and opened the front seat and hopped in. Charlotte pulled onto the road and started heading for school. "So what did you want to talk about?" asked Ariel.

"The party. I have many ideas including cute outfits I saw at the mall. Would you want to go shopping after school."

"That sounds like fun. Thanks for offering to help organize it. Also, maybe you could spread the word to everybody at school, I want to invite as many people as I can."

"Already covered. I made flyers last night."

"Wow. I'm so excited."

"Enough about the party for now. I also wanted to talk to you about Eric."

"What about Eric."

"Do you like him?"

"No, we're just friends. I mean he is really cool, but I just wanna focus on my swimming career."

Charlotte pulled into school. She parked the car and her and Ariel walked to class. "That's good. At least you have something you really want to work on," said Charlotte finishing up the conversation. Ariel waved good-bye as she headed to her locker. She saw Jasmine and Aurora arguing about something and walked up to them. "Is everything okay, guys?" she asked.

"Oh, hey Ariel. Everything's great. Why you asking?" said Jasmine trying to keep calm.

"You guys looked like you were fighting about something," said Ariel worriedly.

"No, just a little conversation," said Aurora trying to put a smile on her face.

"Alright, I'll see you guys later then." Ariel walked away and Jasmine turned back to Aurora. "I really think you're overreacting about this," said Aurora.

"You freakin' told Al about me calling Ariel a bitch even though I admitted I was wrong about her!" Jasmine yelled.

"I said I was sorry."

"Now, Al thinks that I get jealous when he hangs out with other girls."

"You kinda do though."

"No I don't!"

"Yeah remember that time you spille-"

"That was an accident!"

"Look, I'm sorry I never should have told Al."

"It's okay," Jasmine said finally calming down. "I guess I did overreact a little, and it's all good now."

"Exactly. Now we should probably head to class, wouldn't wanna be late." They both headed down the hall to their class. They walked in as soon as the bell rang and took their seats. Jasmine took out a notebook and started writing down notes when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around to face Esmeralda, who sat behind her. Esmeralda handed her a flyer. Jasmine looked at it. Party at Ariel's house Friday at 7:00. Spread the word! Jasmine smiled as she put the flyer in her backpack. A party sounds fun. Jasmine thought. She'll be able to meet new people. Plus her dad is a music producer, so the party will totally rock. Maybe Al will wanna go. It'll be a perfect night.

Alright. It is Christmas Break so hopefully I'll be able to update soon. Now on to questions. What will happen when Mulan comes to visit? What is up with Jim? Does he still have feelings for Ariel? How close are Charlotte and Ariel becoming? Even though Ariel doesn't like Eric, does Eric like her or does he just want to be friends? Does Jasmine get jealous when Al hangs out with other girls? And lastly How will this party go? Let me know what you think. Please review. :)
