A Spot on the Beach; Early Monday Evening [ 12/20 ].
Knowing she'd have to go home for a few weeks as part of the bargain to keep her legs, Ariel had painstakingly packed, once more, trying to decide what all to bring with her under the sea, which included all the presents for her sisters and her friends back home.
Amazingly, she'd managed to get it all in one trunk.
Dragging that trunk with her to the beach was quite an interesting task, too, but Ariel, determined, managed to drag it down there and finally, once she was close enough to the water, stopped, plopping on top of it with a heavy gasp of air to catch her breath again. "Whew!" she said outloud to no one in particular. "I'll definitely think twice before doing that again!"
Actually, no, she wouldn't. But it was done, and now all she had to do was wait for her father to show up, change her back, and off she went until the end of the semester. She hoped nothing happened that might make Triton change his mind about this whole being human thing, but, to distract herself from worrying too much on that, she, of course, passed the time with some singing.
How else would she get the time to pass quicker?
