"That's great to hear, I'm glad you've made such good friends!" Adella sat across from Ariel in the booth, placing her guitar against the wall next to her on the seat, "What about your pirate or do you not want to talk about that?"

"My pirate?" Ariel asked, "Well he is gone now." She took a drink of her water.
"Well, it was strange we were friends and then I some how fell in love with him." Ariel felt like she didn't really understand love not anymore but she remembered that's what she felt for Hook.
"He doesn't feel the same way and probably never will Still we were drawn to each other in a way I never understood. Ever time I would try to leave him I would run into him. So now he is gone off on a quest he has spent lifetimes to complete he could be dead who knows. " Ariel told her sister her voice holding no emotion.

"That sounds...problematic." Adella really didn't know what else to say about it, "Is that why you don't feel that love is worth it anymore?"

Ariel looked down at her burger she ordered, "No not really, love is just a waist of time and emotions. So I've given up on it." Ariel told her taking a bite of her burger.
I'm much happier now," Was she? Ariel didn't even know anymore she didn't feel much of anything.
"So whats your curse life been like?" Ariel asked.

Adella put some ketchup on her burger as she listened to Ariel. She could argue that her little sister didn't look happier, but then looks were sometimes deceiving...
"Adventurous...to say the least. Learning how to live as a human is very challenging. It's definitely something I wouldn't recommend for any other merpeople, least of all our sisters." She replied, taking a bite of her food.

"But they are all human now? I came later after the curse broke I had to I was alone back home. Hook actually found me so I suck on his ship and came back here with him. Yes, I do remember being human was hard at first. I really love it here Adella, sometimes the ocean calls to me I am overwhelmed by longing for it but its not where my true heart lies." Ariel wanted to laugh at her words because it was very true now.
Her true heart was actually in a box somewhere under Mal's care which should have unnerved her but didn't. Ariel hadn't felt longing for the ocean since she lost her heart but she could somewhat recall those feelings.
"Anyway its to late for me to go back now. I enjoy being human to much to ever go back even if we all somehow found a way."
Ariel took another bite of her burger.

"I understand. We always did pledge to follow our hearts when we were very young." Adella put some ketchup on her plate for her fries, her eyes became distant, "It's funny. We never knew how hard that would be until we were faced with the choice."

"Of course that wouldn't have happened if we were still home. We all would have married off to other kingdoms by now Adella." Ariel told her as if Adella didn't know that of course she did.
"I don't want that I would have rather spent my life alone then with a person I don't love."
Of course now Ariel didn't care either way, maybe that's why she was so drawn to Hook in the beginning. He was everything unattainable to her, human, pirate and his heart was closed off in a way Ariel was sure it would never be opened again. He was dangerous and Ariel lived for that which was probably another reason. Damn it why the hell was she even thinking about this anyway? It was going to make her angry again, Ariel pushed it down.
"Or I used to feel that way, now not so much. Following your heart isn't always the best solution. Sometimes it can get you into a lot of trouble and break you in ways you can't imagine. I wish I would have known that back then." Ariel ate a fry it was a harsh thing to tell her sister.

Adella took another bite of her burger as she listened to her younger sister. Strange... She seemed so different now. Out of all of her sisters, Ariel was always the most passionate about following one's heart. Adella suspected that it was one of the many reasons why their father favored her the most, not that she cared about that.
She couldn't speak for their sisters, but she was never jealous of Ariel. If anything, she and her sisters favored Ariel too up until now apparently. So much seemed to have changed since she left and Adella wondered if reconnecting with the rest of their family would even be possible. At least things seemed to be going well between her and her youngest sister, that was a start. Hopefully, she could keep up the momentum...
"I'm sorry you feel that way, even if you aren't." Adella decided to change the subject...slightly, "Do you remember the story dad used to tell us about how he and mom met?"

Ariel actually smiled at that, she'd say it was real though she wasn't sure anymore.
"Yes, I would say it was fate. Though I know very little about it. Still sometimes I miss mom I don't even remember her like you guys do." Ariel told her sister her words were true even without a heart Ariel still remembered the love of her mother.
Her mind flashed back to Blackbeard's ship for a moment, when he told her the truth about her mother. Ariel pushed it back she didn't have time for that he was lying anyway. She forced herself to believe that because anything else and she would go crazy.

Adella had to smile warmly back. It was the first time in so long that she had seen her little sister smile. She had missed that so much... It was one of the things she'd think about to keep her hope alive when things became bleak.
"I remember the stories she used to tell us about her and dad. How she used to sneak away from her escort to see him before they were married.. and before he knew who she really was." Adella chuckled, the story still made her laugh to this day, even after she had heard it a thousand times before, "She used to use that story to teach us about being true to ourselves, at least that's the way I like to see it. She used to say that love is always worth the risk or sacrifice and that it's more than enough, no matter what."
Adella looked down at her plate at that. "Even I'm not so sure anymore though... I miss her too."

"I wonder what mom would have though about me?" Ariel said thinking more out loud then actually wanting to share that thought.
"Do you think she would have hated me for loving someone who was basically not a good person..." Ariel didn't know she hated herself for loving Hook even without a heart she still remembered it.
She ran a hand though her hair a sure sign she was frustrated with herself. "Well maybe I am just a fool and that explains why I'd love a stupid pirate. I guess if I don't love him anymore it doesn't matter right?" Damn it Adella had to bring him up and now Ariel was thinking about him.
"So who's is your love? What made you risk everything for him?" Ariel asked trying to put the conversation back to her sister. It was bringing up stuff Ariel didn't want to deal with.

Adella wanted to tell her that mother would've been understanding to her situation. That she'd love her without end no matter what she did or who she chose to love and that she could never hate her. Ariel, however, didn't want to talk about it anymore so she made due with reaching across the table to hold her hand in a comforting gesture, rubbing it with her thumb.
"In Storybrooke, we knew him as Dr. Archibald Hopper, but his true name is Jiminy Cricket. He saved my life and helped me more times than I can remember. I wanted to be able to properly thank him in person, but being from two different worlds tends to complicate things. The day I left, I did so because I had to see him again. Just once more before the curse took everything away and then I'd return home to all of you.
"At least that was the plan..." Adella looked down again, "...only it didn't work out that way."

"Well what happened?" Ariel asked taking a drink of her tea. She was a bit confused did Adella love a cricket it sure sounded like it.
Well who was she to judge at least he was human now.

"Well, before the curse hit I never did get to see him, but at least here in Storybrooke I was sort of given a second chance. I just... have yet to use it..." Adella explained, leaning her head against her hand and feeling like a coward for not using the opportunities she'd been given to tell Archie how she felt about him.
