Part Of Your World

"What's this?" I swam toward the new treasure that had appeared under the sea. I touched the black strip at the top, reading the writing, "Police...Box?" I pouted my lips in confusion, "What's a police and why does it have a box?" I jolted back when the doors of the box opened, revealing a lanky man inside.
He grinned, "Hello!" He looked at me, a look of confusion overcoming him. He stepped out, but had a certain boundary that he couldn't pass for some reason, "Fish woman? No-no. That's not it..." He trailed off as I swam around the Box, inspecting it. Wondering why it was dry under all this water.
"Mermaid!" He exclaimed as I came back around, "A pretty one."
I bit my lip, looking at him, "Who are you? And how are you breathing? You're at the bottom of an ocean!"
He looked around a bit, "So I am..." He shrugged and grinned, "Now, tell me..."
I nodded, waiting for him to continue.
"Have you seen anything...strange?"
"You mean like a man in a 'Police Box?' under water?"
