Chapter 1 - Meeting the Handsome Palace Guard

They are literal star-crossed lovers...

Ariel has just lost her voice, received her new legs, and has arrived at Prince Eric's palace. Her new love for the prince burning, and her 3-day plan in action, she enters the human world. But she and her plan are immediately thrown off-kilter when she meets a young and rather attractive palace guard by the name of Cadet James Hawkins. James, or Jim as he likes to be called, is both amused and intrigued by this beautiful mute red-head and her odd behavior, but he refuses to be attracted to it, mainly because he could lose his job for falling for the girl who the prince may marry. He can't have that since that would mean failing his test and failing everyone else who believes in him.
