It's all Ariels fault


Once apon a time .... Mermaid Ariel totally ruined my date. 

Me and the prince had the perfect scenery. We had the perfect place. 

Of course I could have waited another time , but this chance was totally mine. 

Henry waited for me at the ball the whole night ,

I only had this night to see him because my stepmother wouldn't let me leave ,

she was always so uptight . 

 

Ariel just had to have the ruby red "under the sea " hair dye , so I had to take a trip to the tower , and 

where they had me waiting for hours ,

while prince Henry danced with someone else. 

This dress my godmother made me wasn't cheap , 

and now it's ruined and it isn't mine to keep . 

I needed to be there for a friend . 

I know she'll always be my friend till the end. 

YET, I deserved this moment with him . 

 

My stepmother can't know I ever left ,

but the hair dye spilled out in the tower and what spilled on my hands

was what was left . 

Great. Another situation for my step sisters to make fun of me . 

I can't believe this .

Look what this night has done to me .

 

Ariel I hope your happy and I hope your night went well . 

Ill be spending my night cleaning the well.

This sounds like a horrible Cinderella story to tell. 

Hopefully the prince realizes I was there ,

because im going back to the ball tonight and leaving my slipper on the stairwell.
