“We can’t sit around all day, we will get caught.” Said Damon as Monica nodded her head as they looked toward the surf, it was maybe 10 yards away but they had to drag their new merpeople bodies over the sand toward the surf.
“Lets get going.” Said Monica as the two of them began to drag themselves toward the shoreline. They attempted to use their “legs” or to use a better turn tail to help but the that was all but useless as they moved toward the water. Another thing which wasn’t helping was the child, he or she they still had to figure that out seamed to be having a lot of fun now in the sand, so getting it to move toward the water was a challenge.
“I am just glad you didn’t wear the old Hawaiian themed swim trunks today.” Stated Monica as they moved toward the water.
“What why?” inquired Damon as he paused for a moment to look at her, in response she shifted to her side and moved her hand down to her new pink and purple tail. It was shinning brightly in the sun, giving off a semi metal look.
“Doesn’t this remind you of my swimsuit?” inquired Monica as Damon thought about it, it was an almost perfect match to Monica’s suit. He looked at his own tail, it was the same dark red with thick black strip which had been on his swimsuit. Sure the black strip wasn’t perfectly straight and like Monica the scales around his waist didn’t stop at a smooth line like in some Disney movie but instead with patches going all the way up to his belly button but mostly stopping at his hips.
“Are you saying our swimsuits became our tails?” inquired Damon
“Well…I think it was the baby…he or she transformed us and saw our suits and…” started Monica as suddenly the sound of a car filled the air. Both looked back to the empty parking lot, this beach was at the bottom of a small bluff with stairs built in and a parking lot at the top. The fact that it was so small made it more of a hotspot for locals then the visiting tourists.
“My God….Tim and Ana…they where coming today right?” inquired Damon as Monica’s eyes widened. As much as they loved their friends neither one of them knew how the would explain this…how could they and they didn’t want to end up on some doctor’s table being experimented on. They began to pull themselves ever fast toward the water line and where about there when they heard someone shoat their names.
“Damon, Monica…” laughed Ana as she came running forward, maybe it was the distance or maybe because no one expected to see two adult merpeople and a merchild but Ana didn’t seam to notice. Behind her walking up was her long-term boyfriend Tim along with another one of their friends Chloe.
“God…what do we do?” inquired Monica as Ana came within a couple feet and stopped her eyes widening, this allowed Tim and Chloe to close.
“What the…” started Tim
“Crap.” said Damon as the baby glowed again raising his or hands up to the new comers like a child would to a favorite uncle or aunt as a wave of energy shot out hitting all three of the humans.
