Snow couldn't believe how her children acted when the little girl realized Alana was a real mermaid.
"Now children this is not how we behave," It was to late the kids were all jumping in the pool at this point. Snow was grateful when Ariel began pulling them out. She took each one as Adella handed them towels but she was actually upset with them.
"We will not be coming back here until you can learn to behave!" Snow said she was going to have a lecture about behaving in public once they got back to class. She would apologize to Alana later right now she wanted to get the kids out of the pool area as fast as possible.

Alana stayed at the bottom, hugging herself, until she saw the last of the children plucked out of the pool. They were just children; just over-excited with fascination... but it had been too much to handle all at once, especially with this transformation being so recent to her. She buried her face in her hands.
She knew that this was her true form... but she felt like such a freak in this world... one lone mermaid in a world with no magic...

Once the kids were gone Ariel dove back under to gesture to Alana it was clear. She couldn't stay down for long and was at the surface soon after. Ariel hoped Alana would join her.

Adella sat indian-style by the edge of the pool, waiting for Alana to feel comfortable enough to surface. Day one of the aquarium's opening to the public... did not go so smoothly. The children would tell people about Alana eventually and she hoped that most people they tell won't believe them. However, she knew it was only a matter of time before it really came to a head and then everyone would know. She started to feel anxious and worried, not sure what was going to happen now.
"It's one of the few times I'm thankful that Dad wasn't here... He'd be furious." She remarked as she idly watched some of Alana's loose scales float across the surface of the water. She reached into the water and held a few in her hand, feeling the smoothness of them. It had been so long, she had almost forgotten what it felt like to have scales.

Alana looked up to see Ariel's red hair as she motioned for her older sister to come out of hiding. The mermaid didn't want to; she felt so foolish for reacting the way she had. She had faced a pirate, a vampire, even a sorceress without blinking a violet eye, but those children.... they had come at her when she was feeling vulnerable...
Alana sighed and surfaced. She saw her two sisters looking down at her with nothing but love and concern in their eyes. The purple mermaid just wanted to dive back under in embarrassment.
"I'm... sorry." Alana blurted. "There were so many of them. I... I panicked."

Adella held out a hand for Alana to take in a show of comfort. "It's okay. I don't think anyone was prepared for that."

"Yes the kids were little brats!" Ariel said she was still pretty angry. "Alana its okay you didn't over react they would have scared the crap out of me." Ariel hugged her, "I am sorry I got another one out your outfits wet." She smiled.
"I hope you don't mind I borrowed something Alana your clothes are so cute. Now I am going to bring you lunch and some movies... do you have a tv? We are going to have a fun sisters day! Adella you coming? I should call Arista as well." Ariel was making a mental checklist.
"You're not going to be alone and you're not going to be sad we are going to have a fun night and do what we did as mermaids chat about boys and eat." Ariel laughed well it would be a bit different now but not by that much.

Adella chuckled. "Sounds like a plan!"

Alana gave a laugh at that. "Alright. If you don't mind being stuck by the poolside." She was touched that they would give up a day like this, just to make her feel better. Opal just wanted to sink to the bottom and sleep this off, but Alana didn't want to be alone... to think about how hopeless this all seemed at the moment. "There's adapter cords and a dvd player in my room. We'll hook it up to the Tv mounted on the wall. It won't show channels but, if you connect the-" Ariel was giving her a blank look. "... Adella you may need to help her..."
They were about to head out but Alana swam over to follow them. "And girls... thanks." She didn't know what else to say after all they had done for her that morning.

"Anything for you sister," Ariel smiled at her, "Oh and we will be back soon. I'm having Arista bring food she is an amazing cook. Any movies you want to see?" Ariel asked.
She went upstairs to grab more blankets and put them around the pool it was going to be a sister night and Ariel was rather excited. She called Arista who was going to start calling the other girls.
"Everyone is coming!" Ariel told Alana sitting down next to her, "Arista has food, and the others have movies. I am going to rush home to get some clothes and then I will be back."

As Ariel had grabbed blankets and clothes, Adella grabbed Alana's dvd player and the necessary cords. She carefully hooked the dvd player up to the television on the wall.
"There! It should work for us." She declared when she was finished.

The moment she hung up the phone with her little sister, Arista practically leaped into her kitchen and started assembling various Tupperware and ingredients while she frantically dialed her other sisters phone numbers to send them all to Alana's pool for a sisters night. It felt like ages since they had all spent time together and in spite of family drama - she was really looking forward to it.

"'Ever After', 'Stardust', 'Splash'... 'Titanic' " Alana called the titles of the movies that Ariel had smuggled down to the pool room out loud. "I'm sensing a theme here... though Opal only laughs at 'Titanic', so if your looking to actually ENJOY that one maybe you should borrow it..." "So... EVERYONE is coming?" Alana asked, her tail curling slightly with building excitement. "That sounds REALLY nice, actually..." She didn't know if she was up for company, but she would never turn down spending time with her sisters.

"Oh and this one!" Ariel held up dirty dancing I been wanting to see it. "Arista is bringing all the food!" Ariel announced.
"Adella did you get the TV working?" Ariel asked adjusting a few pillows she had already went home and grabbed some clothes.

"I believe so." Adella replied, turning the TV on and pressing the channel search button, so it would change to the necessary channel connected to the DVD player.
