@Bubblegupsluvr96: While she did observe that he was handsome, the scene made it pretty clear that she did "get to know Eric" via other means, namely his witnessing his politely turning down the gift and his treating Grimsby with respect. Plus his bravery in helping the crew during the storm and saving Max nearly at the cost of his life, so yeah, I'd say she at least fulfilled that part at least. And believe it or not, there are instances where love at first sight occurs in real life, especially when the core aspects of a person's nature comes out when people don't want other people to know. I'd know because my parents know a couple who actually did fall for that.

@Laxxer98: Technically, no. When someone is 16, they aren't considered a kid anymore. Granted, they aren't an adult either (unless it's a place where 16 is considered the age of consent in which case it is), but they aren't kids either. Besides, her exact words were "I'm 16 years old, I'm not a baby anymore," and babies generally mean infants or toddlers, which is very much true.
