Adella was looking over the food that Arista had brought, especially excited that she made crabcakes! Those were her favorite human food!

"Surprisingly well." Alana breathed out, slight relief. "I mean... I'm stuck in a pool as a mermaid... but some sister might be EXACTLY what I need right now..." She looked up at Ariel, finally asking: "Are you okay?"

Ariel leaned over, "I'm okay I just talked with Daddy, he is willing to try to help you. It never goes well when I talk to him he takes everything I say about being human as if I am not proud of being a mermaid and I know he doesn't think so but I am. I love our home sometimes I even miss it but we are here now and he needs to understand that." Ariel explained to Alana.
"Don't worry I didn't say anything about Eric or that you really truly wanted to be human just that it was harder to be a mermaid here that's all. I also invited him to come and see his girls. To bad he took off angry Alana I swear I can't do anything right when it comes to Daddy..." Ariel sighed.
"I am the worst daughter ever at least your good enough to make up for my failure." Ariel admitted.

God dammit, ALL OF THEM, how did they get her number? ? You'd think after... twenty six messages(really? twenty six??) They'd have called it quits. Andrina bit her lip flipping through the messages, some of them voice, some of them texts- when one of them caught her eye.... it as about Daddy.... As cold as she could be.... it was her sister. She had found a way to get her tail back. Had this been a few weeks earlier she might have bolted over to learn how she'd figured out such magic. But now.... no, she was a mermaid, she IS a mermaid, just without a tail. She shoved the inward conflict away and convinced herself yet again she wanted to be a mermaid more than she wanted anything else. Andrina put away her phone in her Gucci bag and finished putting away Shadowfacs bridle and saddle for the evening. Then went down to her car and hit the gas.

"Ariel, don't even THINK like that!" Alana said, putting a hand on her little sister's. "I am NOT a good daughter... I've been lying to his face this whole time... about being happy, about you, about Eric... you may have 'hurt' him but you were honest, and there's no shame in that!" She looked down. "Lies... catch up with you... and... have away of making things worse..." She lifted her fins out of the water; she still couldn't help but feel that she was being punished by the universe...
"I want to be able to tell my father the truth, Ariel, to have no regrets and reach for what I want... like you did." Her eyes were tearing up, so she quickly ducked underwater to clear them away. She surfaced again. "At least.... he'll TRY to help with the tail thing, right?"

Ariel nodded trying to get past the lump in her throat. "Alana you are a good daughter don't even think your not and I wasn't always honest with Daddy. Sometimes being honest hurts him more it's probably better you are the one he can rely on at least for now. I don't know maybe when the others get here it will be better." Ariel sighed.
"Daddy is going to help with the tail issue in the meantime we can have a bit of fun? This is for you no more sad times!" Ariel told her sister as she splashed her. "I am going to have to swim with you later that looks like fun actually."

"mhmm," Andrina pushed open a door," It does sound pretty fun...."Her heels clicked against the floor as she approached," I, um, finally got your messages....."
It was just like old times, all the way here she had planned all these super-smart-ass comments she was going to make and call her sisters out for... stuff, but now she met Ariel and Alana's eyes- Alana could hide it well, but her sister new she was upset, Ariel was clearly making the best of it. She still wanted to verbally rip them to shreds, but again, still her sisters. She'd wait until she had a better moment.
"Long time no see, sisters," She smiled weakly," It would seem that I... missed out on a few things, huh?"

Adella grinned at seeing Andrina come in. "I think we've all missed out on something of each other. We can blame the curse for that... well, most of it at least."
She flashed a guilty smile for a moment before going over to give Andrina a hug. "It's great to see you, Andrina!"
She knew Andrina wasn't too fond of hugs or most mushy affection, being the tougher one, but at this point Adella didn't care. She was happy to see her and she was going to show it one way or another.

When the curse had ended, Alana had sought out her sisters, being successful in contacting MOST of them, including Andrina. WHY the two could never manage to get together after that call was beyond the older sister; Andrina always had something going on and would end the call abruptly with 'lotsa love'. It wasn't until getting Ariel's heart back and the Mermaid ball that the two had come face to face... and it wasn't the teary reunion that Alana had expected. It was... polite. That just seemed wrong.
Andrina had always been strong-willed and ambitious... but her Storybrooke persona had seemed to mute much of the tenderness and warmth that she had possessed as mermaid. Then again, Opal had an effect on Alana as well...
"Hello Andrina. So glad you could make it..." Alana called from the pool. The look Andrina shot her... the older sister couldn't decipher it. Was it shock, maybe? It had a little malice to it, hidden beneath a plastered smile. She was looking over at Alana... or rather her TAIL, as Adella hugged her.

"Yeah, me too.." She gently pushed her way,"And.... what happened here?"
She made her way closer to the pool,"You figured out a way to.... go back?"

Alana sighed. "I didn't 'figure it out'... it just sorta..." She looked over at her fins, peeking out of the water behind her. "...Happened?" She really didn't want to go into the WHERE and WHEN portion of that inquiry, because she knew that Andrina wouldn't like the answer to that. "We're still trying to figure out HOW, so maybe we can reverse it..."

"Reverse it?" Andrina made a face," Why? Don't tell me you actually like land better than the ocean- our home"

Alana met her sister's eyes, feeling as though she was trying to trap her... or maybe trick her into admitting something. The question was... did Alana have something to admit? About wanting to be a mermaid princess again? About going home to Atlantica? Giving it ALL up... because of a human?
It was as if she were hearing an echo of her own accusations to Ariel from before, when that cursed dagger still contained Alana's love and compassion for her youngest sister within it. "I don't like it BETTER. I MISS home... so much..." She said truthfully. She looked away. "I just... I mean, it's not PRACTICAL... while we're stuck here, to stay a mermaid. I can't help dad around the shop, I can't earn money to pay for expenses... I'm very LIMITED in what hobbies I can take on stuck in a pool, and the people... might... FLIP OUT..." She thought about the kids earlier that morning and shuddered.

"Yes, it's too dangerous for any of us to be mermaids here." Adella agreed, sitting down by the pool, "For obvious reasons, humans aren't accustomed to seeing our people and Neptune only knows what would happen if the whole town knew about this... especially the more unscrupulous sort..."

Ariel watched her sisters talking Andrina was a bit cold to her since Ariel saw her last and it was only once since the curse.
Ariel decided to look busy helping Arista serve the food. "How did you get all this together so fast?" Ariel asked her she really got along so well with Arista it was so nice to see her and the rest of her sisters all together.
