Lily's first day of school (20)

Ariel woke up and got Lily ready for her first day of school. She was dressed in a pretty pink overall dress.

"What do you want for breakfast?" Ariel asked.

"Fishy pancakes." Lily said.

"You got it." Ariel went to work making fish shaped pancakes for this wonderful little girl.

Marcus came down and kissed his little red. "What smells so good?"

"Fishy pancakes, want some." Lily asked.

"Ariel can I have regular pancakes with blueberries please." He smiled. He loved her blueberry pancakes.

Soon the smell of breakfast brought Harrison to the kitchen to. He watched as the three laughed and ate together.

He wanted this everyday. A wife to cook and care for his child and him.

He had to think of away to make Ariel his and soon.

Harrison went on to the office as Marcus and Ariel took Lily to school. She was so excited to show Ariel her classroom and friends.

"Miss Gordon this is my friend Ariel. She is a Mermaid." Lily said introducing Ariel to her teacher.

"Miss Ariel it is nice to meet you. I remember your show at the Aquarium park. I liked it very much."

"Thank you." Ariel said.

"If you would like to come back at one for story time I know the kids would love to have a real live Mermaid read to them." She asked.

"I would like that. I'll be here."

Ariel then road to the company with Marcus where Joshua Smith was waiting to drive Ariel around today.

"Hey Mermaid, how are you feeling now?" he asked.

"Better, I get tired easy but am getting stronger everyday. The doctor thinks I can go back to swimming soon." She said.

"Where to first?"

"I want to stop by Saint Alexander Orphanage first to see Father Matthew and the children."

She spend a few hours visiting and playing with the children. She then gave them a thousand dollars to help them out.

Next she went to Heather's cafe. "I want to speak to the manger right now." she yelled.

When Heather came came a big smile came across her face. "My land you have gotten prettier. How have you been?"

She told Heather all that had gone on in Harborview and being drugged. They talk until lunch time then Ariel had to leave to get back to Lily's school.

When she got there she was introduced by Lily.

"This is my friend Ariel. She is a Mermaid that helps run all of the oceans in the world. She use to work at my daddy fish park but had to go help her daddy back home. She tells the best stories." Lily said.

"Hello everyone. As Lily said my name is Ariel. When I am in salt water my legs become a tail. I live with my father King Triton under the ocean in a castle where we help all of the sea creatures. Today I am going to read you a story about a little Mermaid who saved her best friend."

"Once upon a time in the bottom of the sea lived a family of Mermaid and Merman. Mother and Father had six girls and six boys. The littlest Mermaid was Sally.

Sally wanted to swim and play with her brothers and sister but because she was so small they did not want to play with her.

Her best friend was a small sea turtle named Jack. One day Jack and Sally followed her brothers and sister to an old sunken shipwreck. She remembered that her Father always said to stay away from the human things in sea because humans were dangerous.

As she and Jack looked around she found a little chest and when she opened it she found a beautiful girl that could spin. Her tail was strange but Sally did not know that was because they were legs.

She carried the chest home hiding it under her bed.

"I want to see a real human." Sally told Jack.

"We are not aloud to swim that far Sally." he said.

"Please" She begged.

Jack always gave in because she was his only friend. So early the next morning the set out to the human world.

Since Jack was a sea turtle he could swim very fast and help pull Sally along.

Then before he could really know what was happening a net scoped him up and Sally watched as he went up up and out of the water.

Carefully she followed to a large ship were she seen human men moving without tails over the dry ship. Then she spotted her friend. A little human had picked him up and was looking at him.

How was she going to get her friend back.

When the small human came to the side she was scared but she wanted Jack back.

"Please human give me back my friend." she yelled.

"What's your name?" he asked.

"Sally, what is your name?" Sally asked.

"Joe, I've never seen a girl that lived in the water. Is this turtle your friend?" he asked.

"Yes, his name is Jack and he is my only friend. Please don't hurt him."

"I won't but can we be friends too." He asked as he dropped the turtle into the water.

That day three people became friends even if they were very different. When you are nice and polite good things happen.

The End.

Everyone was excited about the story and asked Ariel many questions. Did she have a Turtle friend. Did she have brothers and sister. The teacher let them talk till time to get ready to go home and they said good bye.

Ariel and Lily then, driven by Joshua Smith, went to pick up Marcus who had been helping Harrison out all day.

"Hey red, how was your first day?" he asked.

"Great, Everyone loved Ariel." she said.

"Hey beautiful did you have fun today too?"

"Yes, I visted the Orphanage and my friend Heather. I thought I would go visit Justin, Bert, and Ernie now. Do you want to come along?" She asked.

"Can't I am in the middle of rerouting some systems. Will be at a few more hours but go have fun." He said.

"Lily do you want to come with me to visit the dolphins?" She asked.

"Can I dad please?" she asked.

"Mind Ariel and stay close to her." Harrison said smiling.

Soon they were heading to the Aquarium.
