Sail cloth wrapped around us, thanks to Scuttle. We were sitting on a large rock, trying to see anything or someone.

Suddnely, Ariel's prince was on the beach. I opened my mouth to yell to him but nothing came out. My eyes were wide with fear.

"Huh?" I heard her prince say. I watched him jog over, eyes widening when he saw Ariel. I nudged her.

She started playing with her hair, nervous.

"Do I...know you?" he asked.

Ariel nodded, smiling.

"...I knew it! You're the one that saved me!"

Once again, rapid nods.

"What's your name?"

I winced. Ariel's excited face went to saddness. She tapped her throat.

"You...you can't speak?" the prince seemed sad as well.

We both shook our heads. I shifted, and ended up falling off the rock. Thankfully, the prince caught me. I blushed, embarrassed to have fallen.

"You alright?" he asked me, helping me stand. I nodded, shrugging. Ariel watched us with curious eyes. I held out a hand to get her down.

"So...who are you?" the prince asked her. I awkwardly lowered my hand.

Ariel started doing weird and rapid hand movements. Then she also fell off the rock.

I facepalmed, silently laughing.

"Don't worry, I'll help you both. Come on." The prince wrapped an arm around both of us, helping us walk.

This'll be a long three days...
