"Eric is coming by tomorrow too." Alana commented. "Oooo, you know what we should DO? Double Date! Totally! Eric is bringing his boat, taking us farther out into the bay where no one will bother us; you guys totally need to join us! It will be SO MUCH FUN."
Alana saw that Ariel was just blinking at her over-enthusiasm. "Oh... sorry. I'll take it down a few notches. It's just... I have to wait until evening to see ANYONE and I'm limited in what I can do... this would just mean the world to me if you could put up with me for one lunch date!" She gave her sister pleading violet eyes, pouting her lips as she leaned against Ariel's shoulder.

Ariel smiled she was so much like the old Alana it made Ariel really happy. "Well I think it would be fun! What do you think Sheng? Double mermaid date?" Ariel giggled a bit it was so silly but she honestly wanted to tell her sister all about Sheng saving her at the club.
"Alana it's okay your not alone anymore since I am now here with you." Ariel told her still she hoped her father might have figured out a way to change them back.
"Sheng we are looking for a way to change back so hopefully this will be a temporary thing. If not your swimming skills are about to get much better." Ariel laughed as she rested her hand on his warm chest.
Ariel was actually shocked she wasn't crying right now a mermaid again this should be devastating but instead she was free. Also she wasn't alone she had Alana and that made things so much easier.

More then anything, he wanted to stay with Ariel hold her more. Over the past few weeks they had grown close, sharing sides of themselves that they would never dare share to another soul... save each other. They were friends.
And now... maybe something more?
But Alana was looking anxious, as though she didn't want to be rude, but she wanted to talk to her sister. Sheng was the odd man out. He gently let Ariel slip to the water, though his hand lingered on hers. "I suppose I should go... make sure no one followed us." He brushed a strand of that rose red hair from her face. "Besides, I'm sure you and your sister have much to discuss." He finally took his hands away from her. "I will see you tomorrow."
"At noon." Alana interjected.
Sheng gave a small smile and nodded. "At noon, then."

Ariel felt his warmth leave her and missed it instantly. "Okay I look forward to it." She smiled. "Thanks again Sheng." Ariel waved as she watched him walk up the beach.
Ariel turned to Alana, "Well your not alone now sister." Ariel hugged her, "I can't say I am happy about this but I can say that I am free and it feels really good." Ariel spun her around in the water.

Hook laid out on Ariels couch after grabbing the bag of 'potato chips' she'd purchased earlier in the week. Thanks to her Hook had found some of the few tolerable things and was taken advantage of it's luxuries.
But she'd been gone far too long, since last night in fact. She hadn't left a note either telling him where she'd be. Which suggested she was in trouble- or at least it usually did in the past. So Hook put on his pants again and started out the door.
He'd try the harbor first.

Ariel smiled with Alana happy to see how excited Alana was not to be alone anymore. It wasn't the worst thing to be a mermaid again with her sister. They would make it fun Ariel was sure of that. Plus Sheng said he would come back tomorrow and Ariel found herself looking forward to that very much. She was very focused on that kiss and how she might get him to kiss her again.
She swam around humming to herself with her sister smiling and laughing.

"Oh Ariel... I know how hard this must be for you.. and you are taking it... rather well." She swam along beside her youngest sister. "I feel bad... I selfishly thought 'gee it would be nice to have some company' and then POOF! You're here... I didn't mean it!" She swished over to tackle her sister playfully. "It's MY TURN to comfort you!"
She then eased off, giggling dying away; becoming big sisterly. "So this...'Sheng'... You've talked about him... but is he a good man?" He seemed nice... but knowing Ariel's track record...
Of course, Alana didn't SAY that out loud... but she didn't want her sister's heart to be trampled again... EVER... especially in this form. It took a LOT of love and reassurance from Eric to keep Alana from feeling like she just wanted to curl up like a little shrimp and float away to escape it all. Of course, Ariel was stronger then that... but since she had willingly given her heart away just to stop feeling pain... Alana worried over her now and then.

Ariel smiled, "Yes one song about freeing my heart and I actually succeeded in freeing my heard the power of music guess." Ariel laughed it was actually amusing.
"Oh Sheng well he is very different from other guys Alana. We have been growing closer but that was actually our first real kissing session as short as it was. I think I really care about him. He is so guarded in a totally different way then Killian. I think things could really work out. He saved me from almost being attacked by the crowd at the club and carried me all the way here." Ariel admitted.
"Still now that I am a mermaid we need to think of ways for life not to be dull! I wont have that Alana!" Ariel laughed she was happy and no longer scared of the future because Ariel knew she wouldn't be a mermaid forever.

"Weeeeell, I've picked up a few hobbies since my transformation... some less glamorous then others." Alana grinned. She didn't think that Ariel would be all for picking up litter out of the harbor. Not exactly her style. "We should be thinking about what you're going to WEAR tomorrow!" Alana grabbed her little sister's hand and swam at full speed.
She led her to a houseboat that Triton had sunk just for her, sinking it to the bottom of the bay. Some place private, a place where she could feel safe and enclosed while she slept. It's where she stored a lot of her collection of shells, nick knacks, and other interesting things she found along the shore line that she could use to make into tools.
"Okay... don't judge..." Alana said, biting her lower lip. "I've become somewhat of a hoarder..." She searched through some of the the common room's shelves, through buckets of shells, pushing a crab gently out of the way. A small turtle swam out of her way in slight irritation. "Oop... sorry...." She muttered, before emerging with two pink shells of equal size. "There we are! Jumbo size. You always did swim on the lucky side of the gene pool..."
"Human men, Ariel,...LOVE the mermaid bit... especially the shells! Can't get enough of it!" She giggled, getting some other tools off of the self. "Oh, is pink okay? I think I have some blue ones that would work too...or we could strategically place seaweed..."

Ariel giggled at her sister, "Alana your talking to the Queen of hoarding do you remember all the stuff I collected back home? I was addicted to collecting stuff!" Ariel laughed.
"Your place is really nice actually." Ariel looked around smiling being a mermaid felt like home and Ariel did miss it. Still she wanted her human life back but she would enjoy this as much as she could.
"Oh? They do? Mermaids really? Well I think the blue shells would look great what about tying them on with a net and sea weed?" Ariel asked getting into mermaid fashion for the first time as a human she learned to develop a love for clothes.
"Oh dang I should have given Sheng my black dress." Ariel told her sister taking off the dress and wearing nothing but a teal green bra.
"Think we can find treasure? Then once we become humans we would totally have money?" Ariel smiled.

Alana laughed as she took out some white netting and a sharp rock to cut it with. "In a harbor? By the cannery? IN MAIN? Yeah... good luck with that, little sister!" Gosh, she felt just like a teenager again, what was wrong with her? She was just so happy not to be alone anymore.
"What do you think about some pearls on the net?" She took a pearl necklace she had found around the Marina, probably dropped from some rich trophy wife while out on a yacht. She took the rock to the strand and the pearls floated down to the table she was working upon. She worked expertly, for it was a hobby that she had recently re-acquainted herself with again; mermaid fashion. "Pearl, my friend...yeah, the one that hates humans with a PASSION... oye... she has been so awesome to me. She brings me shells from the gift shops that are dyed and she water-proofs them! This bay is limited in selection. Not the vibrant colors of the deep sea, you know?"
"But I think you'll look GREAT in the blue shells..." She focused in on her work again, before shooting Ariel a glance. "OOO! Do you wanna see what I'm wearing???" She swam off to her little room, the tools in her hands floating down to the table.
When she came back, she was dressed in white shells, back netting holding them in place and tied in the back with a few little baubles hanging around the edges. She even made netting gloves that went clear up to just below her shoulder and came to a point at middle fingers. "I know it's a little 'alternative'... but I tell yah, ever since turning back into a mermaid... Eric has just LOVED the netting. I swear when I'm human again I'm going to get some fishnet thigh-highs..." She focused back on Ariel's shell top.

Ariel laughed, "Oh Alana that's great. I'll wear anything you put together proudly." Ariel laughed.
"I love the mermaid fashion thing you have going on maybe once you become human again you can sell your creations to the people who want to be mermaids." Ariel smiled she remembered seeing things on tv about people dressing up as mermaids.
"Alright I am looking forward to tomorrow even more now." Ariel said actually her sisters happiness was catchy and Ariel found her self smiling along with her.

"Ariel??" hook called out, walking along the docks. He had looked nearly everywhere, and finally landed himself in an empty- nearly ABANDONED bit of the docks,"Love?"

Ariel heard her name or at least she thought she did.
"I hear something I am going to be right back." She told her sister Ariel swam to the surface carefully hiding under the dock in order to see who was calling out to her.
"Killian?" Ariel swam out from under the docks, "What are you doing here?"

"Ariel?" Alana put her tools down. "Ariel... this isn't like before... you have to be CAREFUL... Ariel!" She swam after her sister. She broke though the surface to be looking up into the face of Killian Jones. Hook.
"You..." She muttered, eyes narrowing.
