Ariel was hogging the dressing room while her sisters were very annoyed.

"Ariel, dear, it's time to come out," Adriana said. "You've been in there all morning."

When Ariel came out of the dressing room, she was humming.

"What is with her lately?" Attina slightly scoffed.

Ariel bumped into her father as Jessica was coming to see the girls. "Morning, Daddy..." she smiled to him, putting a flower behind his ear, and then hugged her cousin. "Hello, Jessica..." she then let go and continued to swim off with a song in her heart.

"Oh, she's got it bad..." Attina now realized what was up with their sister.

"Yep, she sure does." Jessica nodded.

"What?" Triton asked in confusion. "What's she got?"

"Isn't it obvious, Daddy?" Adriana asked before looking all romantic like. "Ariel's in love~..."

"Ariel?" Triton asked, sounding interested. "In love?"

Jessica looked relieved. Normally fathers get unusual when their daughters fall in love, but Triton was handling it rather maturely.

"Come on, Jessica, let's give you a makeover!" Alana pulled on her cousin's arm.

"Yes, yes!" Adriana agreed.

"Okay, okay, I'm coming." Jessica giggled.

"You'll be to die for once we're done with you." Alana smirked.

Jessica rolled her eyes, but went with her cousins to get a makeover.

Urchin was still disgusted by all this lovey dovey stuff with Ariel, but overheard other singing he had not heard before. "That voice...?" he looked around.

Darla was sitting in front of a mirror and brushing her hair as she sang one of her songs. "I've seen 'em come... And I'm seen 'em go... But there's one thing that I know... You gotta give the people what they want...~"

'Wow.' Urchin thought to himself.

"They like it big..." Darla continued, unaware she now had an audience. "They like it loud... Maybe a little bit jazzy sometimes... Mr. Pussycat, listen to me... You don't have to be good..." she then spun slightly like she did on the piano back in Hollywood. "But you had better be~..."

Urchin was enjoying the little show.

"Big and loooud!" Darla twirled slightly. "Big and loud~... Gonna make your mama proud! Make it big.... Aaaaaand looooud~!"

After she was done singing, Urchin applauded.

Darla blinked and realized Urchin was there, she then gave him a smirk as she came next to him, face-to-face. "Leaves ya kinda speechless?" she smirked, slightly. "Don't it?"

"You can say that again." Urchin said, jaw-dropped.

Darla smirked and put her hand underneath his jaw and put it back into place with a giggle.

"That was amazing!" Urchin cheered.

"Really now?" Darla smiled.

"Not bad, Goldilocks..." Urchin folded his arms with a smirk. "Where'd you learn to sing like that?"

"Oh... I used to sing all the time..." Darla replied with a softer smile. "I even made a life out of it."

"Cool." Urchin smiled.

Darla smiled.

"You're all right, Goldilocks..." Urchin folded his arms with a smirk.

"Stop calling me that!" Darla whined.
