Flounder had just come out of that class, spirits significantly higher than they had been in ages after Mr Ray had announced they were to be going on an excursion to the Disney City Aquarium the week after next. When he was marvelling at the diversity of fish species Disney City had in its very own port or thinking about ways to encourage marine conservation, it was a lot easier for Flounder to not think about a certain blonde, or any dumb feelings he might have about said blonde.

Remembering that he had promised to meet up with Ariel at the cafeteria after his class, since he had the rest of the day off, Flounder weaved his way through the throngs of students on campus (sometimes, being small was a good thing, at least when it came to getting through crowds). Subconsciously, his footsteps began to beat in time to the guitar riffs someone was playing on the quad, though he kept his accompanying beat-boxing in his head. Before he reached their designated meeting place, however, Ariel reached him.

What do you mean he’s not cute? Flounder’s one of the cutest guppies ever! Aww, Adella I don’t like you talking about my friend like that, everyone’s being so mean to him today, but fiiiine. Maybe you don’t want any ship instead!

Cute-cute, though! He’s no Chris Hemsworth, let’s be real here. Like, I wasn’t trying to be mean Ariel, it’s just facts! Wait, other people are being mean to him? Way to twist a girl’s fins, Ari, now I feel really bad. I said he was great, didn’t I? And I do want a ship! Just, you know, not with Flounder. Besides, don’t you think he’s interested in someone else?

You mean for the ship thing? Me, and Flounder? As if!
