Justian had been waiting for the Snail's potluck for days. He had to come one more practice since then but this potluck was going to make him an official part of the team (as much as a mermaid could be one).

The day finally came, then the hour, then the minute. Justian was so excited for the potluck. He put on his nicest outfit: a white shirt and tie with khakis.

Justain's mom fourtunatley didn't seem too worried or suspicious when Justain left the house, giving her a quick kiss on the cheeck first.

Margot had texted him the address earlier that week. They were going to the house of the sisters on the team, Zoey and Ashley.

Justians hair was a little sweaty when he got there so he waited outside the house for a minute before Margot finally arrived.

"
Hey," she said stepping out of her car. Today, he red hair wrapped around her head in a French braid.

"Hi," he said, his hazel orbs shining in the perfect light.

Justain and Margot walked to the backyard where the potluck was being held. Suddenly he saw a girl wearing a swimsuit.

"Umm, are you okay?" Asked Margot.

"No.. that girl was-was-was wearing a-a.."

"Bathing suit," Margot prompted.

Justains buitiful eyes nodded. He turned back around and relized the girl wasn't wearing underwear but instead a swimsuit. Sometimes you are so stupid, Justain.

That's when it hit. Swimsuit+party=pool. Nonononono. This couldn't be happening right now. When fully submerged in water, justain turned into his real form- his true mermaid self. He couldn't let that happen intro to if his only friends, the Snails.

He pulled himself together and laughed nervously. "Oh, haha I didn't know this was a pool party- I'm not really dressed for that."

"Don't worry, you can just dip your feet in or something." Margot disappeared to go eat a bologna sandwich and orange jello.

Suddenly a girl with pink hair came over. "Hey, Justain! Want to try this Mac n cheese I made. Get it, cause my names Macky!" Justain chortled and scarfed down the delicious Mac n cheese. He needed to remember to complement his teammate on her cooking skills later.

After many more dishes of food and foot dips into the pool, Justain was ready to sleep... or expose his secret to the team.

Justian cursed himself inwardly for thinking such a thing. Just then he spotted Lisa and Nans out the corner of his left eye. They were walking towards him with aggressive purpose.

"What are you hiding?" Asked Lisa as if she were reading his mind. Justian froze trying to remember how to speak. Nans nodded as Lisa spoke.

"N-nothing," he said. "What would I have to hide?"

"A lot of things," said Nans. "We barely know anything about you."

"Well I told you, I'm not hiding anything important at least." Lisa and Nans shared a look.

"We'll figure it out eventually," said Lisa. They left, leaving Justain with only his thoughts.
