Mermaid Of The Huntsclan Chapter 7
Mirana has a date.
For the first time in her life Mirana is going to go on an outing with other children her age and invited by a boy. A boy who in fact lives a double life as the American Dragon.
If the Huntsclan could see her now they'd all have conniptions especially her father. Good thing he's not around to actually see his own flesh and blood truly betraying the customs of the organization.
There's only one problem.
Mirana doesn't have anything to wear!
Veronica is all too happy to assist Mirana in this dilemma.
Not only is Veronica a successful saleswoman, but she's, also, got a fabulous taste in fashion sense.
So together Veronica and Mirana went to the nearest clothing store with the latest trends in brands. The storeowner, a Cyclops that goes by Lenny was actually about to close when they arrived there. However Lenny actually came close to denying them entrance until Veronica cites this as an emergency and bribes him with free roasted newt for a week. Lenny countered telling Veronica to make it a month and they got a deal.
Mirana and Veronica spent hours them combing through rack after rack of outfits trying to find the perfect one for the school dance she's going to. Of course the dress can't be too fancy or else she risks appearing stuck up or too plain because then it'll make her feel out of place.
Eventually after scouring the racks with a purpose Veronica manages to unveil what she fully believes to be the perfect dress.
It's a modest yet elegant dress that is knee length with long sleeves and a medium neckline. Mirana can't go for anything else for risk of people seeing the birthmark on her back. No one ever knows who might be out there watching. Including what the American Dragon already knew or wasn't aware of about the Huntsclan.
Despite how proper the dress is it was actually quite expensive. It's certainly going to take a huge chunk out of her funds. But there's no possible way she can back out.
Veronica saves her from having to make the choice. To Veronica it's no secret what Mirana's financial state is. Mirana can't exactly afford this dress so Veronica does the only thing she can do for a very close and dear friend.
Veronica purchases the dress for Mirana against her objections to the act. Veronica insists saying that she wants to do it. That Mirana deserves this time to be a kid and have fun like one. She wants the young teenager to enjoy it. Besides to Veronica the total amount isn't that much money in her eyes. She can easily make it back in a few handful of month's time.
Having run out of excuses Mirana reluctantly accepts the gift. Veronica then lends Mirana some beauty products to borrow for the occasion. Mirana already knows how to use each and every one of them. She was fortunate to have undergone lessons on them before. Mirana thanks her profusely, wanting to learn what she can do in order to repay this kindness. Veronica simply says to have fun.
Veronica then leads the girl back to her place in order to complete the makeover.
Veronica gives her hair a touchup by weaving it into a long braid down her back and then lends some of her personal beauty products into the mix.
By the end of it all Mirana has practically been quite transformed. Truth be told Mirana hardly recognized herself when she stared into the mirror at her own reflection. Veronica has really outdone herself this time in this marvelous display.
In her own eyes Mirana now considers herself beautiful. As she gazes into the glass she notices the birthmark is partially showing in one area. The two of them are quick to rectify this, but this does present a danger that someone might see it and then begun asking some unwanted inquires.
When all is said and done Mirana is now ready for battle thanks to Veronica's efforts.
As long as she is taking precautions to prevent a scene of some kind she doesn't allow to happen. Not on her watch.
So Veronica gives Mirana one last good luck sending the girl on her way.
Mirana has the directions that Jake wrote down for her to make the trip and that's where she shall go.
Authors Note:
September 11th has come and gone once again. I was very young when it happened. Don't know about all of you, but I certainly was really scared. One minute I was at elementary school in class and the next my parents are pulling me out, taking my little sister and I home. That's when we learned the truth. The Twin Towers we'd see all the time whenever we traveled outside the city limits on road trips would no longer be there. We were stunned when we'd seen them destroyed on TV. Those trips were never the same again just like the lives of millions. In honor for the people that fell that day and to those still struggling to survive from the aftermath I suggest a moment of respective silence. I think we all can use that.
Hope you all like this one! I certainly did while writing it for your vast enjoyment! ;D
I've been meaning to get back to this one for a while and only now I've managed to find time and inspiration for it. I'm very satisfied and happy about it.
