Patrick had been devastated. The five year old boy wanted his mommy, but the doctors couldn't help her. Patrick wasn't allowed to even have physical contact with her. It wasn't fair!
"Sweetie, I Know your scared, but Mommy needs you to be brave like a super hero." His mother, the 30 something year old woman said as he was taken out of the aquarium area under protest.
However, Patrick suddenly held his stomach in pain as he began changing. The five year old's pants and shoes were shreded as his lower body changed. His legs merged into a forest green tail, similar to the tail his mother had. The doctors rushed Patrick into the aquarium where his mother saw her baby boy painfully transforming. While it pained her to see her baby boy suffer through his change, which looked as painful as her own. A small part of her found herself happy that he was transforming, at least they'd be together.
"Mommy!" Patrick grinned, happy to once again be held in his mother's embrace. "Patrick, I missed you so much." Angela, his mother said as everyone else in the room clapped for the happy family reunion. Although Patrick's change was completely unexpected, everyone present was happy that mother and child were together again. However, this raised another question, why did Patrick change?
