Ariel was in her room trying to get ready, but her sisters (excluding Attina) were annoying her with questions about who she was going out with that evening.

"Girls, when she wants to tell us who the merman is, she will tell us. In the meantime, leave her be" Attina's voice came from the door way and the others scooted away from their younger sister.

"Thanks, Attina," she said smiling before swimming out of the room quickly as possible.

In his throne room, Triton was thinking of his youngest's behavior this evening. Who could my Ariel be intrigued by this time? He wondered.

"I'm leaving now daddy," a soft voice said bringing him out of his thoughts.

"Have fun" He smiled as he watched her swim away.

Ariel swam to Urchin's cave as quickly as her tail would allow.

Slow down, it's just dinner with Urchin. She reminded herself.

Ariel was too wrapped up in her thoughts and wasn't paying attention to where she was going, she ran into Urchin.

"Hey, watch where your goi-" he said stopping himself as he turned around, "Oh sorry Ariel"

"Sorry about crashing into you, I just got lost in my own thoughts," she said.

"It's okay, what were you thinking?" He asked curiously.

"I got excited about our dinner date," she said looking down at her tail as an attempt to hide her blush.

They swam off to go to the Catfish Club which was a restaurant with live music.

"Ariel, are you okay?" Urchin asked.

"Yeah, wait I know this song," Ariel said perking up, and not realizing it she began to sing.

My love is higher than the sky

Deeper than the ocean

Warmer than the sun

Shining down on me

Quiet as a prayer

All my love

I will sing of joy and glory

I will sing the look in your eyes

I will sing till all the world knows your story

I will sing for the rest of my life

For the rest of my life

I will sing for the rest of my life

Everyone started cheering when she was done, making her blush a bright red.

"Wow, I love hearing you sing. Your voice is beautiful" Urchin told her.

They ordered sea weed pizza and sat close, Ariel rested her head on Urchin's shoulder while listening to the music. Again she couldn't help but think she and Urchin belonged together.

As they were leaving, she noticed a fair was visiting Atlantica. Perfect opportunity. She thought, she knew Melody would love to go, but she also wanted Urchin to go as well so he and Melody could get to know one another better.

As they swam, Ariel told him about what happened with Eric.

"Wow, I'm sorry Ariel"

"Melody doesn't remember anything because she was a baby. I'm afraid to tell her the truth about my stupidity"

Urchin held her close, before looking into her eyes and kissing her, after a few seconds she kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his neck as his arms still held her close.

"I've always dreamed of this moment," Urchin told her breaking the kiss.

"Why didn't you ever tell me how you felt?"

"I thought that you wouldn't return my feelings"

"I would've" she replied. "ugh, I better get home"

The two mer people swam off in the direction of Atlantica. When they got to the palace, they made plans to take Melody to the sea fair.
