Dorothy was bored. Bored, and tired, and perhaps a bit antsy as she sat perched on a rock near the waterfall, weaving little flowers into a crown. She tapped her bare foot against the side of the rock, her sandals laying on the ground. Toto alternated between looking into the water, jumping in, and then jumping out, shaking himself off quite

If he was to be stuck here (not that Peter really believed he was) than he should at least look around a bit. it would have been much faster to fly around the perimeter right quick, but Peter liked scrambling up the rocks toward the waterfall anyway.

Toto saw the boy before Dorothy did, and the small terrier ran towards him, yapping. Dorothy's eyes landed on him barely a moment later, and she blinked. "Oh! Hello!" she called in reply, waving her arm in the air. He seemed a bit younger than herself, but perhaps only by a couple of years. A sweet smile crept across her face, brown eyes looking positively delighted. "Toto, Stop that, he's not going to hurt you!"

She had also chosen her mint-green sun-dress (now her favorite clothes). She hoped she looked pretty enough, but certainly not so wonderful as she imagined a mermaid would be; and besides that, her feet were clearly visible, and mermaids did not have feet, they had fins.

"Why no, of course I'm not!" she said, "I'm a girl, silly. Oh, but being a mermaid would be nice."
