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 is 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 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 fabulous taste in fashion sense.
So together Veronica and Mirana went to the nearest clothing store with the latest trends in brands. The store owner, a Cyclops that goes by Lenny was about to close when they arrived there. However, Lenny actually comes close to denying them entrance until Veronica cites this as an emergency and bribes him with a 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 combing through rack after rack of outfits trying to find the perfect one for the school dance she was 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 the 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 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 Veronica, the total amount isn't that much money in her eyes. She can easily make it back in a few handfuls 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 begin asking some unwanted inquiries.
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 it 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.

I hope you all like this one! I certainly did while writing it for your vast enjoyment! ;D
For those of you just starting out with my stuff there are other works on my profile that may catch your interest. I highly recommend you take a look as soon as the opportunity presents itself to you. Who knows, you may be pleasantly surprised by what you discover.
Stay safe everyone. Especially with all of these crazy natural disasters occurring a lot lately due to global warming and climate change everywhere for sure. I swear it's like they're getting worse and worse all the time and it's like officials are simply just ignoring it or pretending it doesn't exist entirely just to go on with their daily lives. Especially those in multi-million dollar companies that rely on certain elements of our planet that we rely on to naturally keep us safe instead of adapting and finding new safer ways to keep in business. There are so many options out there where they can adapt, but they just refuse to see it because all they care about is money. Climate change is altering so much faster than anyone can really keep track of.
So, in light of all this, it is important to live life to the fullest as much as anyone can.
I know I am. ;) See you guys next time.
