So much for getting out of this weekend without event! Ariel really should have taken into account the fact that not everyone in Atlantica was a strictly stuck in the sea as her immediate family. She was learning from her oversight the hard way, too ( Read more... )

Today had been a very busy day for Ariel, and tomorrow was going to be even busier, but she knew that she had to take at least a little time to practice playing her saxophone. It still felt a little strange to have an instrument and to be sort of expected to learn how to play it without much tutoring, but, really, she'd rather try to figure it out ( Read more... )

Hey, everyone! Just wanted to make a quick note that I've changed Ariel's username, although you'll probably start noticing it.

It's a glitch in the Matrix.

Enjoy your earworm.

After the most adorable detention in the entire world and returning from overshooting the fifth floor for the roof, Ariel was back in her room, flipping out her phone, and typing something furiously to send out a way-too-late-but-who-cares email to everyone. Except, of course, the birthday boy.

Of course Ariel had heard the announcement summoning her to the vice principal's office.

And, of course, she was going to pretend she didn't. Whoops. Must have missed it. Timing must have been off.

So she was just going to head to the beach and hang out until this all passed over.

It was a somewhat annoyed and slightly petulant Ariel who had finally conceded to settle in place at the back of the line to get into the club she'd gone to with Christian last week. Her arms crossed firmly over her chest and she sighed, puffing up her bangs momentarily.

"I still can't believe," she complained to Jono, "that they didn't recognize ( Read more... )

With such an exciting day yesterday, Ariel had no problems sleeping last night from exhaustion, and no problems sleeping in the next morning, either. She entertained the idea of just staying in bed, lounging about all day, but so much of her eagerness held over through the night that the thought lasted about two seconds before she threw off her ( Read more... )

Once more, Ariel had been out on an outcropping, early in the morning when she figured no one would realize she was gone or come looking for her, sighing longingly at the shoreline. She'd come even closer than she had before, too, trying hard not to think about how today would be the welcome picnic, and there's be all sorts of exciting new people ( Read more... )

Ariel had tried, really, she had. Her determined spirit left her wanting to make the best out of being a mermaid again. It was helped by the fact that she was no longer bound to the sea witch and that she had her voice back, but what good was having your voice if there weren't as many people to talk to? And what good was freedom from a curse ( Read more... )

One thing was for sure. Ariel was getting sick and tired of her bedroom, but she didn't have any choice in the matter. She hadn't even been allowed to leave for meals, one of her sisters always spiriting away some dinner for her and bringing it back, but she barely could touch what they brought her. After human food, it all seemed so bland and ( Read more... )
