Chapter 17

We followed Celeste around the human shops. Many of them were large and full of the colour pink, which only appealed to Melody. As we wondered around Celeste stopped in front of a land girls shop named 'Daisy's', "This is my favourite shop, it's mega cheap and they have something all of you will love!" She told us.

We followed her inside, Nixie and Maya split up from the group and wandered to one side of the shop and so did Addison and Melody. Echo and I followed Celeste around, trying to be normal land girls, the place was full of colour and excitement something I had not seen before. The clothes I had ever worn was my habeo dress and what me and my friends found the other day.

"Now I was thinking we could relate to our family colours. Y'know? Blue and White that way we will be fitting in and able to get Zach head over heels for you" Celeste said, she picked up many dresses wandering along for different colours. "My favourite colour is a dark blue so I'm going to wear something edgy"

We nodded and kept following until we came to a door, we followed Celeste inside to find some other doors. She ran through one carrying a bunch of clothes so, Echo and I sat down "What do you think is nicer Echo, mer clothes or human clothes?" I asked her.

She shrugged "Human clothes I guess. They are so different and seem to bring out the true mer in you"

I nodded Celeste then came out a minute later dressed in white and dark blue, her dress was fitted and a dark navy blue with some white shoes that made her taller. She turned around to look in the mirror, trying to reject the vanity she still looked "I look beautiful, I haven't felt this way in a long time" She told us.

"Echo you're up next!" I told her, she quickly huffed and went through a door. Celeste then left back into another door leaving me alone, Addison and Melody then peeped their heads around the corner carrying some clothes "You try your clothes on in there" I said pointing to one of the doors Addison and Melody thanked me then walked inside.

Echo then came out dressed in white with a black jacket on. The dress flowed nicely with littles triangles showing skin at the waist, it had a very mermaid effect with showing the mermaid colours of white and black.

"Wow Echo, you do look like a real land girl. And beautiful" I told her.

"I know, I just still can't believe that this is real. The last family member of my family went on land over 200 years ago. Everything has changed and I now really like the land" Echo told me.

I raised my eyebrows "Is this about Ethan?"

She nodded and slowly walked back into the small change room. I shrunk back into my seat and waited for Celeste to call my name so I could get changed, when she did I quickly rushed into the room where Echo had just been to find a pile of blue dresses in the corner. I picked up the first dress, it was white and a Aqua marine blue with a bow at the top.

I picked up the shoes next to me, I quickly changed and put the shoes one. I had felt taller yet found it hard to walk, "I'm coming out!" I shouted.

The girls were sitting in their seats waiting for me, I slid my hair to one side of my shoulder and waited for their reply "What?" I asked, they stared in awe.

"You look hot!" Celeste said jumping out of her seat.

"Like a land girl"
