Once the bathtub is full you put the sand dollar in. It sizzles and dissipates into the water, leaving a of lavender and seasalt.
"Huh, So it's like bath beads." Edgar says like 'I know that' or 'big deal'.
"Cmon. We dont know that yet untill we try it." You say teasingly.
"Oh." Edgar says winking. He begins to take his shurt off.
"Hold on. I'll make some tea." You say seductively. And you leave to go make hot water.
"Ok. I'll warm up for ya." Says Edgar from the bathroom.
You actualy make tea. Peppermint. It toulk you nearly 15 minutes. That portable stove was so slow to warm up.
You cary both mugs back to the bathroom only to see Edgar draining the tub. Your heart sinks a little. "Oh" you say.
"No. Come here." He says. "It just stings your nose after a little while. Thats all." He turns on the shower head and reaches out his hand to you.
You set the mugs on the sink and realy just forget about them. You undress and join him in the shower.
You tease eachother a bit, holding half of your wild urges from eachother, but the bed seems like a better place for something like that.
Drying off a little, he guides caries you onto the futon.
You both look into eachother, ready.
But then his gaze snaps away from you. He looks a bit confused and suprised. "I cant pull my heels apart." He says
"What?" You both look down and you gasp at what you see.
The skin on Edgars heels look fused together. He wriggles his leggs a bit to try and seporate them, but it only makes things worse. The seporation between his feet disappear.
"Th-the crystal potion?!" He stutters.
"It works"
"But what am I terning into?"
Edgars pelvic rises up and he bucks his legs a little. The fused skin climbs 3 inches up his leggs. He grunts and his toes elogate a little. He no longer has nails.
He moves his neas apart a little, and his feet begin to change shape and color. His toes become webbed as his feet become longer. His toes push out and straighten to. His skin is changing grey from his feet.
"What the hell!"
You're so shocked. You cant say anything.
His pulvis rises and he bucks his leggs again. You can see that his feet are more flexable.
The fused skin moves up an inch past his neas while the grey skin tone moves up with it.
His his feet get longer and skinner in a verry streamline way. His toes spread and streach out while the webbing becomes more thick.
"A-a merman?" He says nervously. He runs his hands down to feel his fused neas, only for you both to notice his hands are webbed and turning grey to.
"Oh god" his pelvis rises and he buckes one more time. The fused skin moves all the way up his crotch and his tail becomes streamline at the neas. His toes (or flipper) fans out one more time into a tail fin like shape.
He grunts a little and covers his manhood with his new hands. He jurks his hip a little and the grey tone climbs up just past his penis. The webbing on his hands become thiker and grow to the top of his finger tips.
He tenses up and bucks his tail one more time. Froms where his feet were, you see there are new joints.
Edgar layed there panting. He reached his new hand up to look at it. From his palm you can see pail grey fingers and webbing, but from the back of his hand you cant tell they were hands except for his nuckles. The tone was darker. His thumbs were webbed to. The grey streamline skin faded at his elbows.
"Edgar, I...." You can hardly speak. "Your legs, the sand dollar."
Edgar looked down at his new tail. Frome where his feet were. He could move them in any direction. Where his neas were, he could only bent normaly. He could fan out his rubbery flipper. "It just feels like legs but you cant seporate them," A small slit was where his penis used to be. Just like a dolphin. He rolled over a little and you could see that the back of his tail is darker than his front. "This is actualy pretty neat. I think it's over." He sayed smiling.
"But Edgar, your leggs!" You reminded him.
"Its only 3 weeks, right?" He nudged you.
He was right. Besides you were at the ocean, and you could both stay hidden on the boat somewhere. When you were young, you always wanted your own merman.
Now your heart was beating for a different reason. You reached out to touch his new tail. It felt just like a dolphin.
"Edgar..." you say under your breath. You look up at him, but hes already looking at you.
