Chapter 4: No one Understands
Late that night everyone in the castle was asleep as Ariel slipped in through the large opening into her bedroom but had a hard time falling asleep all she could think of was Eric she tossed and turned several times before she finally couldn't take it anymore and sat on the seal of the opening until morning when her sisters called her down for breakfast. She slowly swam downstairs to the eating area that had a large table seated for eight underneath a large shell chandelier as she took her seat on close to the end between her father and her sister Alana "Oh my gosh Ariel what happened" said Adella, did you not get enough sleep again? asked Andrina, "No huah ah" replied Ariel playing with her food "Ariel this is ridiculous" said Triton you need to do something to get your mind off Eric your not yourself "I know Daddy its just hard" I know Ariel I understand when your mother died "No Daddy that's just it you don't understand none of you do its completely different just leave me alone please."
Ariel rushed back up into her room crying laying on her bed she thought to herself why out of all the people in the world this had to happen to her what did she do to deserve this she had never felt anything like this before. A few minutes later she heard her door open and the clanking of tiny footsteps "Ariel you feelin alright child?" No Sebastian, "Huah you know sometimes we are put through things and don't understand why perhaps we are suppose to learn a lesson from it or its to help make us stronger but we can't let it take control of our life I know its hard but you need to let it go and forgive him" I know your right but its just so hard, "I know child but I know you can we all miss you Flounder more than anyone he told me to tell you that he's always here if you need him and that you always be his best friend."
After Sebastian had left Ariel took time to think about what he had said she knew he was right it was time to forgive him and move on but more than anything she thought about Flounder and how miserable he must be without her she missed him more than anyone else in the whole world.
Realizing that she needed to be a better friend she grabbed her satchel that she that she used to carry the human objects she found if anything could cheer either one of them up it was exploring sunken ships sometimes she thought that Flounder loved it more than she did as she swam out of the opening in her room, past the castle grounds when she stopped for a moment and looked up towards the surface "I forgive you Eric" and continued onto Flounders.
Ariel swan through a hole in the sea rocks that was covered by sea ferns that flowed with the current. As she parted them she noticed that Flounder was still asleep "Flounder haha wake up you sleepyfish wake up!", Ahh Ariel is that you?, "Haha why of course its me silly Flounder I'm sorry for the way I've been acting its just...", Its ok Ariel I understand you don't need to explain, he smiled at his best friend she smiled and gave him a hug "Thank you Flounder your the best hey how would you like to go exploring?", "Aww Ariel its so early", "Oh come on Flounder please?" "Well ok" Ariel smiled and rushed out of small hole Flounder quickly rubbed his eyes then swam after her as fast as he could heading towards a sunken ship.
