“But…” started the Doctor as John looked at him with some hope in his eyes. “There is no way to prevent this, but you like the rest of your family have some options before you.”
“Like what?” inquired Mary, with some hope for her brother.
“Well some people like to rip the band aid off sooner rather then later, there is a drug that can accelerate the change make it happen within minutes. For merpeople, Centaurs and other types of monsters we actually recommend that.” Stated the Doctor as he looked at John. “There is no way to prevent what is happening, the process is already begun, but if you would rather have it over and done with we can have you on a plane to the transformation center in Florida in a few hours. Less time for you to deal with the unknown.”
“I see…” said John considering it.
“And it isn’t like John is the only one going into the unknown, until you all change you can become any type of mermaid or merman and you may not even remain the same age.” Stated the Doctor “However getting older has yet to happen, everyone who has changed age has gotten younger.”
“Great so I could end up a little kid on top of a girl.” Stated John with hate/fear in his voice.
“You could.” Admitted the Doctor
“There has to be something, anything that can prevent this I am a man, I am straight, and I am not going to end up as some mermaid Bimbo.” Stated John as he imagined some big breasted mermaid who had no brains and only wanted to be screwed.
“Not all mermaids are bimbos, they come in a wide range of sizes and body types. I will admit most mermaids/merman are extremely fit but that comes from having to swim everywhere you go. There is nothing accept facing the unknown sooner rather then later.” stated the Doctor “We can actually arrange for other members of your family to join you, if they want. You will not be able to bring much with you to your new life under the sea, salt water does not go well with most items made for the human world and the paperwork is straight forward. All that needs to be done is to get some semen samples from you John and to inform your friends, family and employers about your change.”
“Wait…why would you need a sample of my semen?” inquired John
“Incase you find a mermaid you want to have a child within the future.” Answered the Doctor as John’s mouth fell open.
“You want to make me into a lesbian?” inquired John
“No, however like I said over 3/4th of the population of merpeople are mermaids and so same sex relations are not just common they are the norm and accepted.” Stated the Doctor “There is also some hope that if we are able to find even somewhat of a cure, we may be able to bring back your manhood if not your humanity. There is some research being done in that field however to be honest we don’t understand the virus at all and this is a minor field but better safe than sorry.”
“I see…” said John as he looked at his mother and father.
“It is your choice son; we will support whatever you want.” said his father “If you want to head to the transformation center and get it over with you are welcomed to go, along with anyone else.”
“So, what do you want to do?” inquired the Doctor
“I…I want to get this over with.” Said John as the doctor nodded his head.
“Alright…does anyone else want to join John?” inquired the doctor
