When the media catch wind of Ariel's heroic rescue of a trapped hiker during a forest fire, she is approached by a National Safety Council to become a Spokesperson for Safety. She eagerly agrees, since she would love nothing more than to educate others on safety. Unfortunately, what she did not anticipate is that her hectic ""spokesperson"" schedule would take her away from being an actual, in-the-field Rescue Hero. During a devastating flash flood, it becomes apparent to Ariel that her skills are desperately needed, and that being a Rescue Hero is where she can do the most good, and hence, is where she belongs. She comes to learn that it is okay to change her mind, and to rectify the situation, after realizing she made the wrong decision.
