"Come on Dora! You'll be fine... You know you want to meet them." Maria coaxed her mermaid friend.

"I don't know... I've never even left the river since we first met." Pandora protested,  still not sure about her safety.

"That was 8 years ago!  Please! At least go as my friend? No one will know."

"But I don't have any clothes!"

"Already got that covered. Come on Dora,  just this once?!" Maria pleaded. She pulled down the backpack she had brought.
The mermaid was quiet for a minute.

"....

Ok."

Pandora closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. White light surrounded her tail, as it split into two long legs. Slowly but surely Pandora made her way to the rivers edge, and Maria helped her out and put a towel around her.

"Now we need an outfit for you. Obviously you can't go naked, so I brought a few ensembles for you." Pandora's eyes widen as she watched her best friend.

"You call that a few?!" Maria chuckled.

"There are seven members ya fishy dork! Obviously, what I'm wearing is V inspired.

I want you to have a distinguished look too

I want you to have a distinguished look too."

Pandora frowned.

"I'm supposed to blend in, not stick out like a pregnant bull shark." Maria snorted at her analogy.

"We gotta change that, by the way. That or we could just say you're a marine biologist who's definitely dedicated to her work. Now,  how about this?"

"What about my legs?  I don't want to accidentally transform mid concert

"What about my legs?  I don't want to accidentally transform mid concert." Maria rolled her eyes.

"It's a music concert, not a splash zone. How about this?"

 How about this?"

"Ok." Pandora got dressed the best she could. "I like these shoes but... Maria how do I tie these?"

Maria laughed lightly to her clueless friend

Maria laughed lightly to her clueless friend.

"It's funny, you still don't know how to tie a shoe but yet you can walk effortlessly in heels. How, I'll never know." She tied the shoes tight. "Now come on,  let's go." Maria grabbed her best friend's hand and the two girls ran to the streets.

"Wait!  Where are we going?" Pandora asked as a black car showed up.

"Well, we aren't walking the whole way there. Don't worry,  he won't hurt you. He's just the driver. We'll be there before you know it." Maria assured her friend.

"Judging by the fact I've never seen this part of Seoul? Most likely yes." Pandora agreed.

"You know what I mean!"
