Ariel/ Jim- "How To Save A Life"

Please read first!

(Color at the beginning) It all starts with an argument to show that Jim and Ariel are no longer as happy as they used to be.

Back story (Black and White Images) After being married for awhile, Jim and Ariel are now in constant fights it seems. Theyve been growing apart and Jim is not sure as to anything anymore. He wants to talk with Ariel about it, but he returns back to his ways of just walking away from his problems. All Ariel wants is to be happy with him, like she used to be when they first met and got married. She dreams of it, and even contemplates talking to him about it. When she does go to him, she cant bring herself to say anything, until Jim walks away and then she finds it useless. Ariel then prays that things will work out between the two of them, as Jim goes off by himself to think things over. Time goes by and the arguments get worse, as Jim is constantly yelling at her and Ariel just takes the talk. In trying to calm himself, Jim takes off solar surfing to just relieve the stress. After his ride, Ariel approaches him to try to work things out, and she sees the guilt and depression in Jim in his responses and actions. Her emotions cant take any more of what has been happening, and so she stays away from Jim, in tears.

Present (Sepia) Jim decides it is best to leave, until he can figure things out. So, he heads out into space. Unbeknownst to him, Ariel sees him leaving and is completely crushed. It is only at the start of his journey that he seems happy, until he starts talking to his shipmate, Silver, about Ariel, and he realizes his love for her is still strong. As this is happening, Ariels despair is slowly over taking her being, and all she does is sulk and wish for Jims return. When Jim finally realizes that he must return to Ariel, he is taken captive by pirates and then tossed into the molten lava of Treasure Planet. News then reaches Doctor Doppler and he tells Sarah of her sons murder. Ariel over hears the conversation and feels her heart torn apart. She retreats to the sea, which was the only place she felt she could connect with Jim and breaks down in tears. As she cries, a wave of happy memories fill her mind from the time they first saw each other up through their wedding. In the end she returns to the place she feels was the last place she was when Jim drew his last breathe.
