Jane: "Ruby, I need to talk to you. You've been acting really strange lately." Ruby: "What do you mean?" Jane: "I mean, you've been disappearing a lot and you're always soaking wet when you come back." Ruby: "Oh, that. I've been swimming a lot lately." Jane: "But it's October, Ruby. It's freezing outside." Ruby: "It's not that cold underwater. Besides, I have a new boyfriend." Jane: "Who is he?" Ruby: "His name is Tim. He's really sweet." Jane: "Tim? Wait a minute. Is he the new guy in school with the weird tattoo on his arm?" Ruby: "Yeah, that's him." Jane: "Ruby, is there something you're not telling me?" Ruby: "What do you mean?" Jane: "I mean, are you a...mermaid?" Ruby: "Oh my gosh, Jane. How did you know?" Jane: "I had a feeling. And I think you're pregnant with a mermaid baby." Ruby: "Yeah, you're right. I don't know what to do." Jane: "We'll figure it out together. We'll go talk to my mom. She's really open-minded and she'll know what to do." Ruby: "Okay, thank you Jane. You're such a good friend."
