Ran and Gaz were traveling to a shallow lagoon on the southern part of the island for some private time. Joe, Ralph and Rita had already introduced themselves to Clara and the others. Lt. Commander Corporal was already discussing the sunken ship that was found near the coast. Joe had to explain how Rita and Ralph weren't used to thinking for themselves, but they were quickly adapting to their new minds. While Joe, Rita and Ralph had begun their reading lessons, Ran and Gaz had politely excused themselves, Clara and Rick, Robbie and Martha granting their request with knowing looks in their eyes.

"So what did you want to talk about, Gaz?" Asked Ran, after they made sure that there were no other fish around.
"You know what we've been feeling since we met, and you uplifted me." Said Gaz, grinning hungrily as she slipped her bikini bottom off. Ran, clueless for only a moment, returned her grin and slipped his shorts off.
Sharks are known for their incredible senses. In addition to their sight, hearing, and scent abilities, they also have the ability to sense the body electricity of their prey, which seemed to explain why sharks seem to know when divers want to feed them and eat the food offered to them, not the hand that feeds them. To Ran's and Gaz's senses, newly enhanced by their Animalian state, the scent of arousal coming off each other was screaming to them for fulfillment.
"Ooh, that's new." Said Gaz as Ran's malehoods extended from where his claspers would have been. They were both diamond-shaped, heavily ribbed, and were thirteen inches long.
"I know," said Ran, indicating his twin malehoods, "I'm told that most Animalians have only one of these. Only Snake Animalians have two of these, aside from myself."
"Well then," said Gaz, laying on her back on the sandy bottom of the lagoon, legs spread suggestively, "Let me feel them both at once." Ran needed no more urging, moving up to her and embracing her, his twin malehoods penetrating her at the same time. Gaz's wrapped her legs around her new "bondmate", as she would later know the term, letting Ran know that he wouldn't be released until both their heats were satisfied.
It was the middle of the afternoon when Ran finally felt the throbbing of his softball-sized internal testicles and released his seed into Gaz, Gaz having orgasmed several times throughout the mating period. While they lay spooned with each other, Gaz said, while tracing the definition of Ran's pectorals, "Is mating supposed to be this intense?"
"Maybe." Said Ran, enjoying the afterglow with his new mate.
"I hope so," said Gaz, dreamily, "because I wouldn't share it with anyone else but you."
"Glad to hear it... my mate." Said Ran, embracing Gaz and beginning to kiss her deeply, their snouts making them having to move their heads differently in order to kiss.
