Yin and Jin waited outside while the girls spent a few hours getting pampered. The guys took a quick bath, dipped in the hot springs, and played ping pong.

"What is taking em' so long!? They should've been done a while ago!" said Jin, tapping his foot impatiently.

"You know, girls, Jin. They like to pamper themselves with face masks and seaweed wraps and have their little fashion show trying on clothes."

"It's probably taking a long time because of Aizhen. She probably doesn't know which sleeve goes where when trying to put on a shirt," he scoffed.

"Heh-you're one to talk. Remember one time you accidentally tried to put on your pants when you thought it was your shirt, and you couldn't get your head through? You were stumbling all over the place and hit your noggin on the wall." Yin snickered at his brother.

"How's about a fist to that noggin of yours if you ever spout that ag-"

Camille's laugh cut him off as the brothers turned to her standing by the door, Scorpion Queen in tow.

"No way! You thought your pants were a shirt and tried to wear it?! I don't think I heard that one before!" Camille let out rounds of chuckles.

"You are so getting it later," Jin snarked at his brother.

"Sooo~How was your spa day?" Yin asked.

"And where's Scaley?"

Camille and Scorpion Queen nodded; each stood opposite the door with a smile.

"Gentlemen, allow us to introduce to you the new and improved Aizhen.", Scorpion Queen exclaimed.

The girls parted as Aizhen stepped out into the open, brushing a few bangs back and glancing away momentarily. The boys took one look at Aizhen, cheeks flaring up at her new look.

"Oh wow...." said Yin.

"This is...the same Dragon Lady from before, right? She looks so....so..."

"Chique? Cool? Stylish. Yes, yes she does, Jin." Camille slid by his side with a big grin.

"Wow...Aizhen....You look um...You look..."

Aizhen turned to Yin, tilting her head to the side, wondering what he was muttering.

"I look what?"

"You look...Pretty cool. Especially the jean jacket."

"Thank you?"

"Jin, what do you think of Ai-Ai's outfit?" Camille nudged his arm

Jin rubbed his arm, turning to Aizhen. He looked her up and down, taking in her entire outfit.

"I say...she looks nice...Ponytail's a nice touchup. Plus, the jacket does make you semi-cool."

"What does semi-cool mean"?, asked Aizhen.

"That you're edgy, but not too edgy.", explained Camille.

"I guess I can take that as some sort of compliment?"

"So, how was your bath, boys?" asked the Scorpion Queen.

"Eh-it was fine.", shrugged Jin.

"Same ole, same ole scrub behind the ears and scrub-a-dub.", replied Yin.

"So now that we've refreshed ourselves, how do we get to Pigsy's Noodles?", asked Aizhen.

"Patience, your Dragonesty, we'll get there soon, but for now, there's so much of Megapolis to show you!" Camille gestured to their surroundings with a sparkling grin.
