Alana hugged her sister back... but then her head reared up. "Ariel.. do you hear that?"
She put down her project and listened. "Oh, the waves roll low, And the waves roll high..." She murmured the long forgotten words of their mother's lullaby. She grabbed her sister's hand. "Come'on!"
They swam up and over to the docks. Alana could hear Adella's sweet voice ringing out. "And so it goes Under the bright blue..." Alana joined in, putting her arms over the dock's edge.

Ariel followed Alana up to the surface, she hummed along as her sister sang following the melody. Smiling at her sister Adella.
Ariel stayed next to Alana watching Adella's eyes grow large at her new form.

Adella almost jumped at her sisters joined in the song. Wait... sisterS?
"Ariel?! You...you too?" She stopped playing as the shock hit her, "When did this happen?"

Alana hugged Ariel. "Just tonight... at the club. She's taking it rather well..." She looked at her youngest sister. "Care to explain?"

Well its a long story but the necklace that kept me human was also keeping me in love with Killian..."
Ariel took a breath, "I guess I no longer love him because I am now a mermaid again. I am taking it well because at least I am not alone." She smiled at Alana.
"Oh but Adella you should take over for me and sing at the club? Talk to Fred I am sure he will agree." Ariel said hoping this way she might have a job to come back to after she found out how to change back.

Adella blinked at her suggestion. "Really? Well, as long as you don't mind. I'll cover for you at the club until you're human again. It's the least I can do for you."

"Thank you Adella I knew I could count on you sister." Ariel smiled.
"So are you just out here to get some alone time which we are totally invading sorry." She nudge Alana. "Alana heard the lullaby and we had to see who was singing.

"Not really, I couldn't sleep." Adella replied, smiling warmly, "The tune of Mom's lullaby was all I could remember until Alana reminded me of the words. Thank you, by the way."

Alana smiled. "I'm impressed that you remembered THAT much. You and Ariel were fairly young." Alana had been as well... but older. So she was able to maintain the lyrics. "The next verse is about skies and land... she had an appreciation of it all..." Alana leaned her head against her arm, looking up at Adella. "Trouble sleeping? Anything you want to talk about?"

"Well, I guess I've been a little anxious ever since I told Archie how I felt about him." Adella explained, "When I thought I was going to die, my fear of him rejecting me didn't seem like such a big deal anymore and I wasn't afraid. Now that I'm still alive, I'm still not afraid, but things are a bit different. He knows how I feel about him and I'm still waiting for him to decide where we stand as far as a relationship goes. I guess the anticipation is keeping me awake."
She chuckled at that. "It's a little silly of me."

"You told him? What did he say?" Ariel asked wondering her sister had been carrying that torch for a long time. Ariel knew better then most what it was like to be in love with someone like that.
She flicked her tail still not used to having it while waiting for Adella to spill.

"What the HELL is he waiting for?" Alana cried out. "Adella, you are kind, smart, courageous and drop dead GORGEOUS; what in all the oceans is holding the man up???" But then she took a breath, swallowing her words. Afterall... hadn't SHE made Eric wait ALL THAT TIME before finally giving in? It was a different situation... but not to much different.
"Fine... he MAY have a good reason... highly doubtful, nothing should make you wait when it comes to true love... BUT... don't give up hope." Alana took a deep breath. "For the longest time, I kept Eric at arms length... afraid of if I gave in to my own desires. If it was a betrayal to dad and who I was... but I FINALLY saw the light and now... well... you now how stupid in love I am at the moment..."
She then grabbed a hold of her sister's hand. "But Addy, you can't wait forever. That's what pushed me into courage with Eric. He presented that ultimatum to me and I HAD to decide... or lose him without ever KNOWING what could have been. Dr. Hopper can't expect you to wait forever... it's unfair to you AND to him. You both deserve a shot at it... even if it's not with each other..."

Adella had to chuckle at her sisters' reactions to the news, rubbing Alana's hand as she grasped hers. "Well, at first he seemed stunned, unsure of how to react. It WAS during 'Regina's failsafe' incident, so things were pretty chaotic at best, but I got to talk to him later after that. He told me that he never thinks of himself and that he hasn't for a long time..."
She looked down at that. "I think the last time he ever did, something terrible happened to him or someone else or maybe he witnessed something like that happen to someone he cared about and he wanted to avoid that happening to him ever since. I think he's afraid that anything other than friendship with me might lead him to commit a selfish act and I can understand why he would think that..."
She looked out across the water. "Considering the selfish acts I've done in the name of love... I mean, I pretty much abandoned my family to embark on some crazy quest to find one really small person in a humungous world! I can definitely understand his reasons to think that way. So I gave him some time to think about it because if we are going to be together, then I want him to be okay with it and not have any doubts. If that means I have to wait a little longer, then I'll do it."
She gave a little smile to her sisters. "I've already waited twenty-eight years, so what's a little longer?"

"Sounds like he's living in fear... and he'd rather hold on to his righteousness then take a chance on love. THAT sounds selfish..."
There she went again. Alana shook her head and let go of Adella's hand. "Sorry... I'm bad at giving advice. All I know is that once Eric and I knew of each others feelings... there wasn't a power on this earth that could keep us apart... if that is selfish...then perhaps everyone needs a little bit of it in their life to get what they want. It's never going to be handed to you. But listen to Ariel... she gives better advice..."

Ariel listened to her sister speak Ariel never really thought she gave good advice. Well maybe if she gave it she never took it.
"Well I think you should follow your heart Adella but always keep a look out for other opportunities that could come your way. You don't want to be waiting for something that might never happen and miss something else great." Ariel told her and she knew that well.
She waited for far to long and she was very much done with that. Still Alana was right she would never fully be over Killian unless she made a huge effort. She sighed this was not something she wanted to focus on what could she do they were friends and that wasn't something she wanted to give up.
