"Well lets start with before?" Ariel asked her, she wondered what had happened when Adella went missing for a while. Ariel always assumed she ran off with a merman.
Ariel took off enough times to see Hook, funny how now she could think of him and not even be bothered in the slightest. It was as if her past belonged to someone else, she could see it but wasn't attached to it.

Adella nodded. "It's a bit of a long story, but I guess we have plenty of time..."
She looked distant as she recalled everything that happened. "Do you remember that time I was an hour late for singing lessons?'

Ariel tried to remember, a lot of her sisters were late for one reason or another. Mostly merboys Ariel was always late because of being on the surface or sometimes she would be looking for Hook.
"Yeah sure, why what were you really doing?" Ariel asked, she was only half interested but if Adella wanted to talk she would listen.

Adella wrung at her hands idiosyncratically. "Well, that day I was exploring near a shoreline. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and I became trapped in a fisherman's net. I thought it was all over, but then someone saved me. He... wasn't quite what I was expecting from someone from land, but he's a wonderfully kind person and I fell for him, pretty hard too.
"I couldn't stop thinking about him and I wanted to see him again, but because of what we were... It wasn't going to happen, not without some magical intervention. That's when I left you all that note and went to see Ursula." At this Adella looked ashamed, as if she had committed some horrible crime that she held deep remorse over.

Ariel was pretty much only play slight attention until she heard that name, "Ursula? The Sea witch?" Ariel looked at her sister.
"What did you go to her for?" She asked stopping in the middle of their walk and waiting for an answer. Ariel knew about Ursula she had never known anyone to see her in person.

Adella stopped as well, facing Ariel. "I needed a way to get to land and survive, it was the only way I could see Jiminy again. I tried to find other ways, but I've looked. She was the only option I had..."

"Wait what? She made you human? What was the price Adella what did she make you pay?" Ariel was hit by a wave of anger, maybe it was something else but feeling nothing all she knew was she was mad.
It was so hard for her to become human and she waited so long. Ariel paid dearly for her legs she had to know what it cost Adella.

Adella figured she'd be angry with her. Merpeople, especially her and her sisters, were forbidden to associate with Ursula and for good reason. She used dark magic that came with terrible prices for those who went to her for anything.
"She had me sign a contract. In exchange for giving me an enchanted necklace that could turn me human as long as I wore it, I could never return to Atlantica..." Her face appeared wracked with guilt, "I had thought, at the time, that the magic on land was different. That maybe there was a way around it, maybe I could find magic that was stronger to cancel it out and I could return home after I found Jiminy. That's... not how it worked out... obviously."

Ariel looked at her, "That's it? All you had to do was not go back? What a easy price your human normally once you become human you don't get to go back to being a mermaid. I left to Adella and my price was much higher then that." Ariel snapped.
"So did you find him your love? Was it worth all you left behind?" Ariel was mad, her stupid price was that she couldn't go home. If Adella really wanted to be human that wouldn't even be a price at all. Ariel had to pay for her legs with her heart and maybe that was partly Hook's fault but it was still her price.
One that was to steep and Ariel had to let go of one part of herself so that it wouldn't hurt anymore. Adella had it so easy and she didn't even know it.

Adella blinked. Easy? She never thought it was easy, especially since she knew nothing about land.
"Easy? You really think it was easy for me to live with the knowledge that I could never go home? That I'm stuck fighting to survive in a world I knew absolutely nothing about? Do you have any idea how many times I wished I could go back? How many times I wanted to just give up?
"I couldn't, I had no choice anymore. I gave up everything until all I had left was some cursed necklace and a goal and that's it! I had to steal everything else and I was hunted! I just barely get walking down when I have to take a crash course in running just so I don't get killed! If it wasn't for a friend, I would have probably been dead a long time ago because I had no idea what I was doing or where I was supposed to go.
"When things got really tough, the only thing that kept me going was the hope that I'd see you all again, that I'd get to go home where things made sense to me. You think all of that was easy for me? I'm sorry that you had it rough, Ariel, I really am. I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you when I should have been. That's going to be yet another thing that I'll regret for the rest of my life, but don't make the mistake of assuming that you're the only one of us who's had a tough time."

"Adella you chose to leave, you didn't think it was going to be simple did you? No I am sure, whatever you were doing to thank some one you loved was worth it." Ariel told her, Adella had no idea what hard was, hard was being captured by pirates who wanted to eat you.
Hard was thinking you were going to die by being killed. She might even know how her mother was killed in the worst way possible. Ariel didn't have the feelings any more but she still remembered how upset she was. Hard was being stuck in love with someone who would never love you back.
Ariel knew hardship of course now it didn't bother her in the slightest she was just angry.

Adella shook her head and looked down. She didn't want to make this into some contest of who had the harder life. It wasn't why she wanted to her sisters again!
"I don't want to argue this with you, Ariel. I didn't go through what I did just to create competition over who had it the worst because none of that matters now. We're together again and for what it's worth, I'm really happy I got to see you again." She risked a warm smile to her, "I can understand if you don't believe me when I say that I love you and I never want to leave you or our family like that again. I promise you that."

Ariel was annoyed, "Adella I am not trying to argue over who had a harder life. I am saying if you wanted to be human you should have expected on not coming back. You can't have both worlds or so I've been told." Ariel told her she started walking.
"So I am glad your here to, lets get something to eat." Ariel told her, she really couldn't care less about anything else at the moment.

Adella nodded, walking beside Ariel as they made their way into town. "So, how have you been getting along despite everything?"

Ariel smiled at her sister, "Swimmingly actually, I got a place nearby with help from my friends and I really like it." Ariel held open the door to Grannies for Adella, "Come on I'll buy you lunch,"
Ariel seemed to enjoy very little in her condition but she could still make people think she was fine. She was getting really good at this lying thing Hook would probably be proud. Not that she cared, Ariel wondered how he was doing anyway. Was he dead? Did he kill Rumplestiltskin?
They took a seat at the back booth.
