ARISTA'S BOYFRIEND

Chapter 3

Once they reached the picnic area Arista sat down next to Ariel and invited Damon to stay. At first he resisted but then accepted the invitation. Due to the fact that Ariel and Arista were vegetarians the lunch consisted of salad, oranges, pudding, watermelon, and for desert ice cream with apple pie. At first Arista resisted the food because of never having human food before but then she quite enjoyed. After Lunch she and Damon rode back to the stables where they agreed to meet again the next day for another riding lesson.

Arista went back to the palace and met with Ariel and Eric. Arista was eager to get to know her brother-in-law so she and Eric decided to meet in the library. Arista told Eric how Ariel used to be when they were little. How she took that statue of him and gawked over it. She always was a little crazy. They met up for dinner and then Arista and Ariel talked for a while. Arista went to bed after dinner and slept peacefully until the morning.

When she woke up in the morning she went down to breakfast. Eric and Ariel were already there when she sat down.

Did you sleep well Arista, Ariel asked.

Yes, yesterday was so lovely. It made me dream about that time that you and I snuck off to the stables and stole those giant sea horses to go to that concert in Jamica.

That Damon fellow is one of the most charming humans I have ever met. Looks at Eric and winks.

Eric looks at Arista and says, yeah, I grew up with Damon he is one of the best friends a guy could ever have. We used to sneak out of the castle at night, take some horses from the stables and ride on the beach until the sun came up.

That sounds familiar, says Arista as she looks at Ariel with a you used to do the same thing look.

Ariel once asked father if she could ride a giant wild sea horse named Stormy. Well you know Ariel if she wants something even more when she is told she can’t have it. So one night I catch her sneaking out when I ask her where she was going she says in her cute nowhere voice and tells me to brush her teeth. Well she had just brushed her teeth when I was washing my teeth. I was a no dumb blonde mermaid; I knew she was going to see Stormy. Ariel might have the power to get out of trouble but I can read minds. I went out of my room and told Father I thought she was going to see Stormy, before Arista can say another word Ariel yells at her, You were the one that told Daddy about me going to see Stormy! Arista how could you, I know you are older than me but that is not fair, Stormy was just a misunderstood sea horse and if I didn’t ride him daddy would of sold him to that evil trader. Then he would of gone to a rotten home and had a terrible life, and you got me in trouble, I never got you in trouble.

Ok, sorry Ariel that was a long time ago and none of those things happened, chill out.

Ariel said it was okay, and they started eating breakfast.

Arista never having had human breakfast food before asked Ariel what to eat. She handed Arista a blueberry muffin and a glass of orange juice. Arista took one bite of the muffin and went ecstatic.

What is this, said Arista with a mouthful of muffin, it is the best thing I have ever had.

It’s a blueberry muffin said Ariel.

Arista had five muffins and two glasses of orange juice by the time breakfast was over.

Ariel you have to give Otto the recipe for these muffins. Well I have to go, Damon and I are going riding again, I will see you later.

She left and went to the stables.
