But the changes were far from over for Amanda. As she flopped down to inspect her new body, she felt the tingling begin again.
This time she watched in horror as her legs merged together, the plastic joining seamlessly and beginning to change colour from the pale pink of the rest of her body and instead become a shocking shade of the same colour.
Her breasts smoothed over as well and became the same colour as Amanda's legs. Soon her feet had disappeared completely and the end of her legs had begun to flatten out.
Next the end of her legs flared out into the shape of a tail fin whilst the texture of her further transformed skin took on the appearence of scales. Finally the fins at the end of Amanda's tail turned silver and transparent.
"Oops," said Susan, "I said Barbie, but I was thinking of Malibu Mermaid Barbie...she was always my favourite."
"Great," Amanda frowned whilst inspecting her new body, "What am I supposed to do now?"
