Guys wave hello (8)

Ariel walked into the Park with Lily. She stopped by Marcus's office to drop off Lily before heading to the mermaid tank.

"I'll see you after the show, We will go for icecream." Ariel promised.

After she left Lily said, "Can you take me to see the show?"

"Sure thing. It will start in about an hour, we will head over soon." He said.

Harrison walked down to talk to his brother about the River Walk project.

"Hey Marcus have you had a chance to look at the security set up for... Lily why are you here?" He stopped when he seen his daughter.

"Ariel gets to be a Mermaid today. If not she could die." Lily said.

"We wouldn't want that. Do you want to go watch the show?" He asked.

"Uncle Marcus is taking me soon."

"Marcus do you have the security for the River Walk project done yet?" He turned to his brother.

"Not done but almost." He said.

"Then I will take Lily to see the show. I need that done today."

"What ever you say Harry." Marcus said saluting his brother.

"Don't call me Harry, you know I hate that." Harrison said picking up Lily and carrying her out.

Ariel put on her water proof make up and her costume. She really did love this job more then anything in the world.

As she eased into the tank she placed the small breather in her mouth and swam under the cave entrance. She did many trick and flips under the water before swimming up to the platform to talk to the kids.

"Hello everyone. My name is Arial. My father is King Triton of the great ocean. I live under the water in a sea castle and I can talk to all the sea creatures. I can also breath air when I'm at the water surface. Do any of you want to be my friend?"

All the kids yelled "Me" "Yes" "Here"

"Good cause I like having friends from the human world. Each Usher will give anyone who is my friend a special mermaid bracelet as you leave and remember to be kind to one another. And to every living creature."

She then swam back through the cave.

"Can we go see her right now?" Lily asked.

He knew she would be taking off the costume so he did not want Lily to find out the truth. "We need to give her time to dry her tail first."

"Ok, Daddy did you like the show?"

"Yes it is very good. I think we need to add a few more on Saturday. I'll have to talk it over with Ariel and see if she would want to do that." He said.

"Then she can be a mermaid all day." Lily said excited for Ariel.

After 20 minutes he took Lily to the changing room. Ariel had washed everything off and was dressed now in jeans and a tshirt.

"You were awesome." Lily shouted.

"Did you really like it?"

"Yes, if we wanted to have three shows on saturday and two on Sunday would you take it?" Harrison asked.

"What are you saying? I tried to get more shifts and was turned down."

"I loved the way you handled the kids So I am offering you five shows instead of two. We will then let Georgina take monday through friday. She will have five shows and you will have five show." He explained.

'$50×5=250' She worked out the problem in her mind. '$250×52=1300÷ 52= $1083.33'

She figured it out and said yes.

"Ok we will start it next week. I'll need to let Georgina know." He said.

"I can do three tomorrow if you like. Just let me know what time." Ariel said.

"9am, 12:30pm, and 4pm" He said.

She was happy. They walked out and Harrison was stopped by the personal department head Carrie Jackson.

"Harrison we have a problem. Justin called in sick and no one can do the dolphin show." He said.

"Ariel could do it she can talk to the dolphins. She would be great." Lily said.

"Ariel can you swim and do tricks with them?" Harrison said.

Luckily she had swam with them before and Justin had let her run some of the tricks. But how was she going to pull off the swim suit.

"I can do it. It's just what about my 'T-A-I-L' understand?" She said looking at Harrison.

Go get what you need. I'll take Lily over to Marcus and meet you the Dolphin tank.

She went back to her locker to get her Mermaid costume .

Harrison went back to Marcus's office.

"I'm done and even corrected a small problem I found."

"I need you to take Lily for icecream and then the dolphin show" He said.

"Ok Harry, were is Ariel?"

"Don't call me Harry. She is doing the dolphin show."

Ariel got her costume and headed over, it would be hard to do it like this but she would try. The ushers were told to get people in and sat down quickly. When the show started they would blow a loud horn to let Ariel know to come up from the water.

She had her breather in so she could breath under water.

'Wooooop' the horn sounded. Ariel swam up and a round doing a few tricks that could be seen by the crowd. Bert and Ernie the dolphins was with her and when she gave the signal they pushed her up to a small platform.

"Welcome all to Bert and Ernie's dolphin show. My name is Ariel and yes I am a mermaid. Who wants to see Bert and Ernie do some ticks."

A few people yelled.

"Oh Bert I guess the don't want to see is do our tricks cause I can hear them."

Then the crowd roar with "YES"

"Ok" Ariel dived back into the water.

"Guys wave hello to the nice people."

Both Dolphins waved.

"Lets do some water aerobic to get warmed up."

For the next hour they did all kind of trick with Ariel then they pushed her back up to the platform.

"Bert, Ernie and I would like to thank you for coming today. Please have a safe time in the park and be kind to every living creature." She then dove back in and hid in the water so the people could leave.

Harrison was very impressed with her. This could bring more people to the park on the weekends. He would have to discuss this with the board.

When everyone was gone he walked over to the side of the pool and blew a smaller horn.

Ariel swam up and he helped her out. As she fell into him his heart went wild. Why was he feeling this way.

Ariel pushed him away, "I'll get you all wet. Grab that chair and I'll take off my tail."

Harrison walked over and brought the chair to her. After she sat down she unzipped her tail and a little water came out but he could see the beautiful legs she had. Her bikini hugged her body just right to show off her feminine charm.

"Give me 20 minutes to get showered and changed." She said.

"Ok, I'll wait right here. Lily is with Marcus right now."

She walked to the staff room, after getting cleaned up, she walked out.
