Ariel’s Aquatic Adventure

Letter A from the Alphabet about a girl who loves the sea.

---

“Momma, I'm leaving now!” Ariel says as she ran out the door as fast as her two legs could carry her tiny body.

Time would pass super quickly as to her it felt as though it stopped. She stepped into huge puddles which made different size splashes, all depending on the size of the puddle. Ariel loved that she had red hair and green eyes, almost exactly like Ariel, the Disney princess. The only difference was, she wasn’t a mermaid.

That didn't matter to our Ariel. She absolutely couldn’t resist the water. All her friends would tell her that she was a great swimmer and that she should swim with the school team but she didn’t want to. She just wanted to spend most of her time at the beach or her favorite place in the world, Danny’s Aquarium.

Ariel would visit that aquarium almost every day after school just to say hi to all the animals. It seemed as though the creatures all knew her by now. The thing was, her mom actually would take her there every week as a child.

Ariel left the house early that day to visit the same aquarium. Danny, the owner of the aquarium was her age, 17, and he got the aquarium from his father who passed away a few years ago. He was the friend that she could lean on with any burden she had.

“Morning Dan!” Ariel said as she skipped her way through the hallways of the aquarium. Danny couldn’t see her so all he heard was an echo from her voice since the place technically wasn't open yet. But Ariel begged him all the time to open early for her so he did.

“Hey Ariel! You know, the animals really seem to love you right?” He asked her chuckling a little as he went to find her.

“I know! I love them too.” She said smiling kindly while she petted one of the dolphins sticking its head out of the water. The minute Danny walked to where she was sitting, he couldn’t help it but smile. Her smile was as radiant as the sun if it were to shine its brightest one day. Plus, it struck him that he was the only one that would get to see it. Ariel was the Sun in human form.

“What you smiling at?” Ariel asked.

“Nothing. Just thought that the Sun was really pretty today.” He answered back.
