After everything that happened in Australia, Miriam and her family decided to move to Beacon Hills from a job offer. Though her parents and her never had a great relationship, it didn't stop the fact that they'd do anything to protect their children...
It'd been two weeks since the family dinner, meaning there was less than a week left before the next full moon. To be honest, Miriam wasn't too concerned about it, though that didn't mean she couldn't prepare just in case. For now, however, she wanted to go for a swim.
Using the canal of water that led to the lake, she knew it was deep enough for her to be concealed by the night sky. Speeding up the canal, she made it to the lake, which she then took her time swimming to the other side.
Her original plan was to sit on the rocks with her tail in the water, going stargazing knowing her brother was asleep, but that plan didn't work out. Someone's voice caught her attention, more of it being two voices. "Dude, she's one girl. There are plenty of other girls in the sea." That was Stiles, it had to have been.
"Fish in the sea," that was Scott, so whatever happened to them must've been a reason why they were out here at this time. Unintentionally looking up, she noticed Stiles looking over at her specifically, having a look of confusion in his eyes.
"Maybe there are actual girls in the sea, look," having a feeling that would signal Scott, she had a window of time when he looked over to Scott to use to her advantage. Using her power of invisibility, she cloaked herself out of their eyes and began pushing herself back into the water.
"Stiles, there's nothing there. Maybe you were just seeing something, you being drunk and all." Swimming back to her house, she got out of the canal and got out of the water. Steaming herself dry, she stood up and went inside.
From there, she went into the house, walked to her bathroom, and started the bath before resting inside of it.

"I swear, if I was able to go swimming tonight, I would," not wanting to think about it too much, she proceeded with the rest of her bath as normal.

Waking up in the morning, she heard her alarm clock, though it was distant as if farther than usual. Being somewhat disoriented because she woke up suddenly, she was about to move her leg, only to see that her legs weren't legs, she was still in the bathtub, meaning she was still a mermaid.
