pre style="word-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"Three. It had been three days since Ariel had last seen Eric. Well, today was the third day that is. Ariel's bright blue eyes snapped open and she stretched out in her pink shell bed daydreaming about her prince as she had been doing for the past three days. Something's going to happen today! Something with Eric, I can feel it on the tides! Maybe I can convince Sebastian to let us swim up by his castle again to wait if he comes to the beach! Oh, then I can see him again, his face, those lips, he's so wonderful-
"Ariel dear! Time to come out. You've been in there all morning!" called Andrinna, the purple sister.
Much to her, and the other sister's surprise, Ariel emerged immediately from the other side of the kelp curtain. However she still wasn't paying any attention to them and was humming that song she had been singing ever since she snuck back in the morning after Daddy's big storm.
"What is with her lately?" Atina, the orange sister mused what everyone else was thinking aloud. Ariel just continued to hum and ignore them as brushed once through her hair before picking up a flower and turning to leave.
"Oh," she hadn't noticed the large blue merman swimming in the check on his daughters, "Morning Daddy." She twirled around him, taking one last sniff of the undersea flower before putting it behind her bemused father's ear and continuing on her way humming and twirling.
The sisters stared after Ariel with their father who was staring at the sea flower.
"Oh man." Said Atina, the red sister. "She's got it bad."
The other sisters giggled and Triton looked at each of them in turn. "Got it? Got what? What has she got?" He stared after his youngest trying to figure out what he was missing.
Andrina just sighed and they all rolled their eyes. "Isn't it obvious Daddy? Ariel is in love!" she swooned a little at the thought. Their cute little sister finally had a crush on somebody.
"Ariel…in love?"/pre
