I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see
wanna see 'em dancing
Walking around on those...
What do you call them?
Oh, feet...

I laugh as Ariel continues to dream about life as a human. Oh, how silly human's imaginations are.

We merpeople do not have tails and nor are we capable of conjuring Ursala's magic. Although, that would be particularly fascinating..

It is now late evening and I am snuggled up in the theatre room, stuffing my face with caramel popcorn and watching human Disney films. What has my life been reduced to?

I know, I know I should be practising my speech and preparing for tomorrow but I just had to slip away for a bit.
My maids won't find me in here.
It's my getaway, I used to come in here all the time when I was younger to escape.

Probably explains why I don't have many friends... oh well, at least I have Sebastian and Flounder.

Tomorrow's ceremony will be extravagant with urchins, drapes and coral.

My advisors have advised me to be prepared for the great masses of merpeople that will arrive tomorrow.. Public speaking has never been my forte and I fear that it may get the best of me.

It is a tradition for the newly ordained royal to mingle with the people in order to get to know them. I just hope that I'll be a just ruler. Our people have faced many adversities and survived countless wars, it's time for some peace.

For countless centuries, humans have attempted to uncover our lifestyle and capture innocent mer-lives yet, it is our own mythical family that wage wars against us too.

It is only natural that families fight, and over the most trivial matters too. I believe that last time a battle broke out, it was over Queen Persephone's lost pomegranate.

"Excuse me, Princess. Your presence is required in the dressing room for final adjustments to your coronation gown."

I frown as I see my assistant at the door. Oh great, time for prodding and poking. 

I guess my happy ending will have to wait.
