Mary grabbed both the goldfish and the shrink vial and went back to her bathroom and sat on the floor next to the tub. She uncorked both vials and drank a half of the shrink vial and half of the goldfish vial. In her excitement she didnt think about what she was doing.
Not long after, she was transfixed on her transformation as her legs merged together, her feet flattened out into semi transparent fins, gold scales covered her from her fins to her breasts. More fins grew where her "thighs" and "shins" should have been as well her hands were now webbed with fins along her wrist to her elbows. Her ears were now fins and she now had a large fin running along her spine all the way down her tail fin and at last she finally saw her gills at her sides.
She stared at her transformed body in wonder and failed to notice that she was shrinking rapidly. She gasped as she realized this and started to move for the tub only to find out that she couldn't reach the edge, she reached out her webbed hands and failed again. 'Oh Nononono!' she thought out loud as her tail flopped against the floor. The vials were left in the tub soap dish which she couldn't reach and she shrunk down to a mere 1 foot in length.
She glanced around and felt small, all her surroundings were big. She flopped her tail in agitation feeling the effects of not being in water. She should have been more careful and now she was stuck on the floor and no way to get into the tub with water that she was going to desperately need if she stayed flopping about on the floor.
She started to feel dry as her scales dried up from lack of water. She decided to flop her way to the shower which was easier to get into and had enough water to keep her wet and be able to breathe easier.
She found it hard to breathe as dragged herself across the tiled floor of the bathroom. She felt drier and drier as she went and by the time she reached the edge of the shower she was panting even starting to gasp for breath.
She was able to easily flop over the ledge of the shower and splash into the small amount of water, it wasn't much to allow her to swim, but it kept her from drying out and the water still reached her gills. She laid there thinking of her next move but soon scolded herself for being distracted and putting herself in this situation. She was mostly all fish and was glad she still had her hands although webbed she was still able to drag herself to some water.
She remembered that her phone had fallen off her night stand by her bed and she wondered if she could make it and call for help. In her current size it was quite a bit of a distance, which was a major issue since she barely made it from the bathtub a few feet away.
She sat there thinking about what she should do......
