I'm chopping fish heads, so kiss me maybe”, wth? I'd like to argue that what Ariel and Eric have is special. I know their relationship might seem superficial because they literally only met once (well, twice, but that first time Eric was unconscious when Ariel saved him, lol), but I honestly do find it believable that two people can fall in love at first sight so quickly. I can imagine the build-up towards the dock scene in which they actually reunited and kissed came out from both of them thinking about each other for a long time, even though they hardly know each other. I think their love shows you don't have to know literally everything about the other person in order to be in love, and it is a real leap of faith too, because they're going solely by their feelings for each other and/or what feels right rather than doing the usual, "okay, let's get to know each other better first before we start kissing and making out". XD  I'm with Applegirl. I like it, in an odd sort of way. Although I liked the scene and the overall Ariel/Eric story, I think that, up to now, it's nothing more than a serious infatuation. I agree with, @Applegirl, as well.

True, that the relation between OUaT's Ariel and Eric pales in comparison to that of Disney's Ariel and Eric.... but it is still very special and sweet, yet endearingly innocent. Opening one's heart to another, takes a leap of faith. Ariel's and Eric's faith in their love, fits in with the overall theme of the season. All you need is faith, trust, and pixie dust ;)
