The Little mermaid fanfic

Ariel watched the waves roll in and out against the sand. She sighed and buried her crowned head into her silk covered arms.

"Ariel?" Eric, her husband, asked from behind her. Ariel stood and dried her tears.

"I'm fine. Really." Eric didn't seem to believe her. He gave her a weak smile and gathered her in her arms.

"What's wrong Ariel?" He asked into her flame red hair. Ariel sobbed onto his shirt.

"I miss my family. I only get to see them once a year when they come to visit for my birthday. But then, it's all about you me and Melody. I don't even know if my sisters have children. All I know is that daddy retired last year and Attina is now queen of Atlantica," Ariel cried. An idea struck Eric.

"Why don't we take a vacation to Atlantica. Melody would enjoy seeing it and I know you'd like it. Plus, I've never been there," Eric suggested, looking Ariel in her blue eyes. Immediately, Ariel brightened.

"Your right Eric! Let's take a vacation!" Ariel ran barefooted back to the castle with Eric chuckling behind her.

A couple days later, everything was set. Melody was ecstatic and her mother even more excited. They all stood on the beach in their light traveling outfits. Melody was in her yellow dress, Ariel and Eric in the clothes they wore out to town. They all stood anxiously waiting.

Suddenly, bubbles rapidly rose to the surface as Queen Attina rose to the surface.

"Attina!" Ariel shouted and dashed into the waves.

"Ariel," Attina sighed as she embraced her sister. "Are you ready?" She asked, holding the triton. Ariel nodded excitedly and stretched her arms to the side. A flash of light hit Ariel and she began to transform. When the light clear, Ariel was sitting in the water with her green tail and purple seashell bra.

"Me next! Me next!" Thirteen year old Melody cried, rushing into the water. Attina laughed and pointed the triton at Melody. Another flash of light and when it was gone, Melody was next to her mother in a pinkie-mauve tail and matching seashell bra.

Eric carefully wadded into the water and braced himself. Attina pointed the triton, a flash of light, and there he was. Eric gasped at the sight. His very own blue tail! Eric shouted for joy and dove beneath the waves.
