"Ah shit, not again."
A sigh left Rhonda's mouth as she stared down at the scaly limb flopping about on her bed. Christ, not this old song and dance. She'd done the whole mermaid thing before - it had been a pain in the ass two years ago, and it was a pain in the ass now. Better than being stuck as a genie in a bottle, sure, but still, not being able to walk wasn't exactly her idea of a good time.
Her first guess as she flopped the sparkling red limb over the edge of her bed was that, somehow, Abigail had done this. The little brat must have finally worked up the courage to go and sneak into her room, casting some stupid transformation spell on her while she slept. Ohhhh, when she found that rich bitch, she was going to knock her goddamn lights out. Of course, actually getting to her would be a challenge.
Albeit a challenge that was not so great as she first imagined. The latina's dark eyes grew wide as felt her tail splitting apart, pulling back into legs... huh. So it was one of those kinds of changes, where she could go back and forth. And one where she apparently kept this extra weight on her chest in both forms. Alright, that... that was something. She shrugged and stood up, instantly finding the act of walking around to be a bit difficult with her enhanced endowments - not to mention the urge to go find some water to soak in. Terrific.
"Friggin' stupid aqautic bullshit," she muttered to herself as she pulled on some clothes and shuffled over to the bathroom. She was already set upon taking a quick shower and heading off with Sofia to figure out how to reverse this one - so focused was she on this goal that she didn't initially think about the bathroom light being turned on. If she had, it might have spared her the embarassment of walking into the bathroom to find the water-filled tub occupied by two individuals... both of whom had tails flopping around behind them.
One was easy enough to recognize. Her mother, the bottomost of the pair, albeit looking far younger than she usually did; all the wrinkles were gone, and her dark hair seemed to have experienced a great increase in volume, as had... yeah, she was going to try and avoid thinking about her mom's tits too much. The other woman who she was so passionately making out with, with her short hair and robust jawline. After a moment, though, she realized she recognized this woman, mostly thanks to having seen her in this state once before, during that gender-bending incident.
"...okay," she said quietly, while slowly backing out and closing the door. "Mom and dad... are... gay mermaids." Her eye twitched. "Kay."
At this point, she had a sneaking suspicion, and quickly moved to her little brother's room to verify. Quietly she cracked open the door, just enough to peek inside... and found that lying among the sheets was her little now-sister, the fin at the end of her violet tail occasionally twitching. About what she expected. Rhonda could only groan as she closed the door, marching down the stairs just in time to hear the front doorbell ring. Repeatedly.
She knew that impatient series of rings anywhere. Bracing herself, she headed up to the front door and opened up, finding her best friend standing there, an experated expression on her face. "So uh," Sofia started in her distinctly germanic accent, stopping to clear her throat before she went on, "I think something weird might have happened last night." It was only now that Rhonda glanced down, and took note of how her magic-wielding friend's shirt seemed... tighter.
"Your parents turn into gay mermaids too?" The latina asked rather bluntly.
"Well... them, and... everyone in town... and about a billion other people..." Sofia winced. "Magic transformative singing. Spreads like crazy."
Rhonda sighed. "Alright... I guess at least time, it's spreading lesbianism. That's nice." Hell of a lot better than the last magical plague they'd gotten wound up with.
"I'm not gonna argue you on that, but still, we should look into it. I already have a hunch about where this is coming from."
"Abigail?"
"No, not this time."
Genuine shock crossed Rhonda's face. "Seriously? Where then?"
The witch pulled out her wand, and a mystical map of the country appeared, with a city not too far away highlighted. "This is apparently where the first transformations started happening, according to the news. And you might remember..."
"...it's where we last ran into Karinna." Oh goddamnit. "I thought that cthulhu-looking motherfucker ripped out her vocal chods?"
"Well, either it didn't take, or she found new ones. Either way, if we want to fix this, we'll probably need to go and find her." The map vanished as Sofia put away her wand. "C'mon, I think mom still had some transport disks lying around, should get us pretty close."
The latina sighed as she trudged out, resigned to go along with yet another adventure. "Y'know, I'm not a fan of the tails thing, but... maybe some of the other parts..."
"We're not leaving the human race mono-gendered, Rhonda."
The other girl pouted slightly. "All I want is to live in a fantasy world full of hot lesbians with giant boobs. Is that too much to ask?"
"And what do you think St. Chariot's is gonna be?"
"...alright, point taken." She sighed. "Fiiiine. Let's go save the world or something I guess."
