Swimming into the bedroom, Ariel sits Melody down to explain why she must not go up to the surface.

"Melody, I told you the surface is dangerous" Ariel told her.

"I just wanted to find that shadowy thing" Melody said softly.

"Sweetie, I just don't want to see you get hurt" Ariel said sitting her in her lap.

"How can you say the surface is dangerous, when you don't even go near it" Melody said.

"When I was a little bit younger than you, grampa and grama would take me and your aunts up to the surface for a family outing, well one day a ship came and while grampa was getting us kids back to the saftey under the sea, grama was still on the surface trying to get a music box that grampa gave her, and the ship killed her before she could get back to us" Ariel explained.

"Is that why grampa always visits that statue?" Melody asked.

"Yes, it was placed there in honour of your grandmother" she said.

"I won't go up to the surface, I promise" Melody said.

"Good" Ariel said as she started to swim away.

"Mom?" Melody asked.

"Yes, Melody?" She asked turning around.

"I love you" Melody said.

"I love you too" Ariel told her.

Urchin came in then to tell Ariel he was heading home and to tell Melody good night.

"Sorry to interrupt, but I just wanted to let you know that I was heading home. Good night Melody" he said before disappearing out of the room.

Ariel wanted to follow him and tell him how she really felt and how she needed him to love her.

"I'll be right back" she told Melody. "Urchin!"

At the sound of his name, he turned around to see blood red hair flying towards him. After catching her, she looked into his blue eyes.

"Yes?" he finally asked.

Biting her lip, she said "Urchin, I don't know why I didn't realize this before, but I love you"

Urchin heard what she just confessed, but he couldn't believe it. Finding his voice, "I love you too, would you like to go to dinner sometime?"

"I would love to, tomorrow night?"

"Absolutly"

Saying goodbye, Urchin left with a big smile on his face.
