After the initial freakout and incredible awkwardness of the situation, Alexa got everyone blankets and towels to cover their bodies.
The fusion between Alexa's father and sister had been wounded by broken silverware that had dropped from the dinner table during the violent transformations. Her mother and Maya, having gotten quickly used to their transformations and hands on their feet, galloped to the upstairs bathroom, climbing fluidly with their four legs up the stairs and retrieving a First-Aid Kit. Coming back down just as fast and barely keeping hold of the towel covering their shared body, kneeling down on their hind legs and bending their shared upper, armless torso down to get a closer look, the two used their frontal leg-arms to delicately dress the fusion's wounds. To Alexa, the two, deep in concentration, looked like they were used to coordinating their body and sharing their limbs as if they had always been that way. Getting the fusion a pillow to rest their head on and cleaning up the rest of the hazardous mess, Alexa listened and joined in as Maya and her mother got to understand the fusion and their situations better.
The fusion had the shared memories of Alexa's father and younger sister, right up until the moment of fusion, where they had become a singular, new person. Maya and Alexa's mother, Shi, shared complete equal control of their entire shared body, being able to control the same body parts simultaneously (often with trouble) or separately, if one of them relaxed a limb and relinquished personal control over it. Alexa was pretty much entirely unchanged.
After that, and a few jokes cracked by the fusion who decided to name themself "Juleah", a combination of her father's name Jun and her younger sister's name Leah, Alexa, her family, and her friend made their way over to the couch. They sat and watched the news for 2 hours before "Juleah" shut off the TV and recommended for everyone to take a shower and then get a good night's rest.
Juleah took a quick shower, followed by Maya and Shi, who took a long, awkward, and inherently difficult one (its hard to balance if you need to use your legs to clean your body).
Alexa spent a long time in the shower. She checked her entire body for any physical changes, and did every mental test she could think of to see if she had any mental changes - though no test really proved much. She sighed as she got out of the shower. The newscasters on multiple news channels had mentioned, here and there, that transformations, or mutations, often improved looks, in a likely attempt to calm a panicking world populace. Though Alexa didn't really believe this, she sort of wished she had been transformed in such a way. Maybe she could finally . . . fit in.
Alexa, while putting on her clothes, heard a great gargling sound in her midriff. She scrunched her nose as the feeling migrated down, through her intestines, and out of her anus as a loud, and somewhat long fart. Maya and her mother, walking nearby, stopped and laughed with her = no one thought much of it at the moment.
After some nightly prayers, everyone went to sleep, Maya and Shi in a separate room than Juleah. Alexa stayed up the longest, doing something she never did during the normal school year - stay up on the Internet. The "Fusion Wave" and related searches were the most popular search queries on every conceivable web browser, followed by "riots" in second place, "unrest" in third, and "fleshweavers" in fourth. Every social media platform was teeming with images of transformations and questions on the Fusion Wave - many had incorrect answers.
After some difficulty, Alexa fell asleep, unaware of what the next day would bring.
