Writing Challenge #5

My conversation with The Little Mermaid, Princess Ariel.

Me: "Hello Princess Ariel! I'm very excited to be meeting with you today. I believe that I am your biggest fan."
Ariel: "It'd good to be with you today, Willie. I love your hair. Is it natural?"
Me: "Yes, it is. I take great pride in my hair color. While you're with me do you mind if I ask you a few questions?"
Ariel: "Go right ahead! It's part of my princess duties to talk with my people."
Me: "Question number one. Is it true that you like to collect human objects that have sunk to the bottom of the ocean from human ships?"
Ariel: "Yes, it is my favorite hobby. I like to look for shining silver in the sand or go exploring in sunken ships and see what treasures I can find. The best treasure that I ever found was a snow globe with a married couple embracing in it. I am happy that I have found the love of my life, Prince Eric. And I can also go between having legs and being a mermaid."
Me: "That leads me to question number two. How is it that you can be both mermaid and a human. Can't you only be one or the other?"
Ariel: "That is a really good question, something that confuses a lot of people. My father, King Triton, wanted me to stay a mermaid to be with my family and find a nice merman to marry. But when I found Eric I knew there would be no other man for me in my life. My father soon realized this and rather than losing me forever by letting me be human, it was his idea to be human half the time and then mermaid the other half of the time. I am then able to keep relationships with my sisters and father, as well as my husband and human friends."
Me: "That is really cool of your dad. I'm happy that you can have both of your lifestyles work for you. I'm almost done with my time with you. I'm going to have this one count the best. Tell me your secret beauty tips and how you stay the fabulous princess that you are."
Ariel: "I don't know if I can pass along my knowledge and secrets! But for a fellow red head I must. To keep my hair long and silky, I shampoo and double condition every day. Once a week I do a vinegar rinse to keep the dirty oils and crud from ruining my hair. The vinegar is a trick my mother passed along to me. It's true when they say mothers know best! To be a good princess is easy. I never lie, cheat, or steal. I am honest to everyone. I care for others and am there when somebody needs me. I put family and friends first so they know that they matter to me. Also I believe that being a positive person means everything. You seem like a fine young lady yourself, I bet it won't be hard for you to do any of those things."
Me: "Oh, thank you Ariel. You really are the best princess out of the Disney movies. I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to meet and talk with you today. I will remember this for the rest of my life."
Ariel: "It was my pleasure Willie. Feel free to come down to my underwater kingdom any time!"

THE END!
