"Is there anything for us to do?"
"I have the Fabric, and I have the food coloring; but now I need a bowl; a Mixer, a measuring cup, some Picks, and….."
"Can you just write it down?"
"...You can't write in water. I'll just talk to Lolli and have her give you the recipe. She had to have seen it."
"Wait, we can't stay to watch you cut Sirens hairs?"
"Uhh...This requires carefully delicate fingers. Delicate hair, delicate fingers."
"What are you saying about us?"
"Wind, take them to the surface."
"Wait, wait. We asked a question. We asked a...…QUES…TIOOONNNNN"
*Vruuaaa….vurrraaa…..vurraauuummmmm*
"...Now that we're alone; Mermaids, would you care to give back?
….Thank them...…for all their hard work.
....Please?"
"I'll call in the Octopi to help. There are a lot of them, and there are a lot of you."
"Thanks, but will you not touch their hair yourself?"
"Uhhhhhmmmm.
You really want to do their hair? It's not as straight as ours.
*Touch*
But I could do something with this. Yeah. Sure. I can cut this."
"Jacklyn, what's she doing? I don't have a mirror. I can't see."
"Siren, shh. She's visualizing."
" Take the loose ends and braid it up, hiding what lay underneath."
"What's she talking about? Jacklyn, what's she talking about? My hair may look disgruntled, but it is who I am. A dull pencil is much better than a sharper one. I'd like to see the Mermaids do half of what we can do."
"They work smarter, not harder. Now, shh. You want your first presentation to be a messy one?"
"No."
"Careful. Jacklyn is the new SecretBearer. If the Dragons trust her, so can we."
".......Ohhhh. So that's why you are brave enough to come down here and risk everything for some hair."
"It's not just….some hair. I will weave it into this Beautiful swimsuit I am wearing."
"Is that all?"
"Well, I can transform it into other things. Like....
*Vuraaaouuuum*
Or.
*Vuraaaouuuum*
Or.
*Vuraaaouuuum*
Nothing at all. Just socks.
But it has to be in a pair of two. I can't just make one arm sleeve and not the other."
"You can't or you don't want to?"
"Well, I found Onsees not that functional. Took a lot of trial and error. Finding the right material, but also flexible. My two materials were Fur, or Hair."
"Jacklyn, that's the only two materials there are."
"Oh.
I thought you girls would have like a secret new material or something."
"We do. A stronger reinforced material, but talking about pliable......not really."
"Can I hear it?"
"It's....."
"..........Oh. I thank you for your bravery in me."
"Now, can I see? Where's the Mirror?"
"Here you go.
Like it? I tried not to take too much off the top and just bun you around the sides."
"It's.......will it grow back?"
"Ah, now you're just being mean."
"No, no. I like it. I really do."
"Yes, it will grow back. Don't worry."
"Then I approve. If you cut hair this good, I will always come up. But...."
"I know. Mermaids, you will have to take over. Keep their identity a secret. If anybody were to find out that what they are wearing is....."
"We got it."
"Now we have to go on Babysitting duty?"
"They do it for you.
Lease you can do is cut their hair."
"Yeah. I want to look presentable when I smash a Submarine too, you know."
"Haahaaahaahaaa."
"Well, Sirens.
*Oooof*
"This.....is.....an incredible mound of air. Now I will dry it out; get out the dirt and grim, and then stretch it razor thin. Would you like to see what they look like, or are you like Scarlettt and can wear a Bikini in frozen negative temperatures?"
"A Mermaid with a sweatshirt? Hmmmm."
"You can keep it shrunk down to what you usually wear, but then when people look away...…I won't tell."
"Oh, you are dirty. Dirty, dirty, dirty."
"Takes one to know one."
"Get out of here before I send Commander to zap you."
"Oooooo, I am so scared. Aaaaaah!!!! Wind, save me. Take me home; away from these Killers.
*Phuaarourruuuuummm*
See you, Ladies. Until next time?"
"Until next time."
