"Oh Flounder, isn't he beautiful?" Ariel 说 quietly, as she stroked the statues cheek that had been half broken off from the damage it experienced. 比目鱼 looked worriedly at her, and nodded silently. He wasn't in on this whole, "human-mermaid" 爱情 story. He knew if Ariel was to dare go through with it, King Triton would have her locked up in the 城堡 until the 日 she died.
Sebastian squeezed himself in through a small hole in the giant rock, as crabs were known to be able to 移动 about tight areas. He hid behind a pair of binoculars, which Scuttle had named "a Shibbleshpob," and listened to Ariel and 比目鱼 quietly.
"Ariel, please, I don't want 你 getting hurt," 比目鱼 说 quite softly. He looked down and backed up, knowing he 说 the wrong thing. Ariel turned her head to him and laughed.
"Oh Flounder, you're such a fool," she 说 with a nudge.
Ariel couldn't take the truth. She knew no one would agree to this plan, never less be happy that she went to the 支撑, 海岸 a million times already. In the kingdom they lived in, it was forbidden to be around the humans once Ariel's mother had died. Even before that, humans were a taboo to the community underwater, as they killed off their wildlife and polluted their seas. But Ariel never understood that. She never understood that people who hurt 你 或者 your 爱情 one's shouldn't be accepted into your crowd so easily.
"You can't do this!' 比目鱼 说 finally with a burst of courage.
Ariel swam right over to him, her face in his, and huffed.
"It's true love! 比目鱼 你 don't understand true love. When you've found the right man, you'd trade in anything and everything for him."
"He doesn't even know 你 exist, Ariel. How would 你 know it's "true love?""
She gave 比目鱼 an awfully mean look, one she had never 给 her best friend before. She swam away towards the entrance, and pointed to the rock. "Leave," was all she said.
"I hope 你 remember what happened, to your mother. And I hope 你 can sometime understand that all of this is wrong." 比目鱼 swam off back into reality, as Ariel stayed in her own little world. Sebastian shook his head whilst she looked down on him, and he swam off to find Flounder.
Ariel closed the rock slowly, and looked over to one shelf in her grotto. On it, was the 音乐 box her mother was gifted with from her father. She opened it, and the sound of many seas came from it. She held it to her chest, and laid on the sandy floor, right 下一个 to where Eric's feet were. For one of the most talented, and beautiful daughter's of Triton, there was no doubt she would be the one to fall first.
