Ari pressed her lips together, though she didn’t look disgusted or exasperated with Bay. Bay couldn’t really tell how she did look, though. Ari would definitely have to meet Cam-she would love him, he was perfect!! Who wouldn’t love him was more of the question. Ari leaned away slightly when Bay yelled in her face, so she made a mental note to turn her volume down a bit. Of course, she would probably forget about this “note” in a few seconds, though.
Ari smiled, unlike most people after being bombarded with Bay’s questions. And then, she began to answer each and every one. She was really patient and catering… sorta like Cam, now that Bay thought about it. Except she was a girl and Bay’s friend, not her boyfriend. She described her father, Little John as “The greatest dad ever”, and despite the excited smile on her face as she listened, she felt a twinge of jealousy-salty like the ocean. She barely knew her dad, and from what she did know, it was more like worst dad ever! “Emotionally in tune.” Bay tried to grasp at what this meant. Her parents had never really seemed to care what she wanted or how she felt. "Greatest dad ever?" She repeated, both curiously and sullenly. She thought it was really cool Ari even got to hang out with Robin Hood. Ariadne went on to explain who exactly Robin Hood and Little John were-thieves who stole from the wealthy and fave to the poor. She didn’t understand much about debt and taxes, but she liked the idea of helping the poor. Ari’s eyes sparkled with admiration for her father. Bay wondered if she should consider becoming the Robin Hood of Once Upon a High. Perhaps that would make people admire her, too. “How did he do it?” Bay asked, greedy for more information. “How did he get the wealthy’s money? Did he have to dress up? Or did he use an invisibility spell?” She asked, sounding slightly suspicious, as if she were trying to form her own plans. But really, she was curious. She imagined him sort of like a spy, twisting and turning through a web of lasers in a vault to steal a large diamond and give it to the poor.
Ariadne smiled fondly. “Although Dad is called ‘Little John’, he is about seven feet tall.” Bay’s eyebrows furrowed as she tried to remember how tall that was. I’m like, five feet, two inches… Then, her eyes nearly popped out of her head. “Holy guacamole!” And there she went, yelling again. “That’s so tall! Why is he called Little John, then? That makes no sense!” Bay questioned, sounding very perplexed. Her eyes were wide as Ariadne began to tell the story of how her dad met Robin Hood-in vivid detail. She could definitely be a storyteller. Bay wiggled in her seat, hands in her lap, listening. It was sorta funny, hearing a story about how two people became friends, while she was forming a new friendship with Ariadne. “Awww that’s so sweet!” Bay said when Ariadne was done talking, completely ignoring the part where someone drowned in a brook. “And they’re still friends today? You’re super good at telling stories, Ari!”
Roles reversed-Ari was the one asking the questions now, which was pretty exciting for Bay, since she liked answering them almost as much as asking them. “So, I started attending an all-girls underwater boarding school when I was in first grade.” Bay didn’t have a very good memory, so she repeated Ari’s questions over and over in her head, trying to remember them and their order. “Yeah!! It was kinda like an underwater castle! Picture this school, but with a LOTT more algae. And mermaids. And no boys.” Bay said, seeming disturbed by the idea of algae and no boys. “Ooo, good question! My tail is greenish-blue-teal, that’s the word! Yeah, scaly! And there’s like, gems and shells on it. And I can breathe underwater, too!” Bay bragged, Ari’s visible excitement motivating her to continue to blabber. “Do you like dogs like your dad?” Ariadne asked next. Bay seemed to freeze, as she tried to remember. Her dad liked dogs…? She could sort of remember grey fur, and a warm tongue licking her hand. Well, she did like dogs. “Yeah, I LOVE dogs!!! I wish Cam and I had a dog, but I don’t think a dog would really be suited for our cove.” Bay answered thoughtfully. “Which parent are you more like?” Was the final question, which did make Bay pause and take a large breath. She hardly knew her parents. She didn’t know which she was more like at all. All she knew was that they both sucked. “Ahhh I don’t know. Maybe my Mom since she’s a girl and has red hair? But I’m not really…like either of them.” Bay admitted, looking at her hands, as if it hurt to admit this. “They’re stupid and dumb. And I’m not stupid and dumb, right?” Anger made her appear less sad. It would’ve seemed like she was fishing for Ari’s compliments, if it wasn’t for her genuine eyes, staring at Ari imploringly.
