Nathan ran to the bathroom at full speed and closed the door behind him. Now it was time to find out if everything that happened today at the beach was all a fever dream or reality. He removed his swimsuit, and turned on the faucet, and waited until it was filled half way filled up with warm water. He then grabbed a towel and left it on a nearby stool, he turned off the faucet and looked at his reflection in the water and thought to himself. “ The moment of truth "and let his body slide in. He laid there in the water of the tub, before he suddenly felt the water becoming much more pleasant to be in.
His legs and feet twitched and spasmed out of his control. Rubbing against each other for a moment before seeming to stuck together.
First his ankles had fused and without his swimsuit in the way it went halfway up to his knees much faster thanks to the water. When the fusing finally stopped, he had his flesh colored limb once more.
The next part of his transformation began when Nathan could hear the bones snap as his feet went 180 from each other forming a straight line before his toenails disappeared completely. Thereafter, his toes began to grow outwards and downwards, with a thin membrane between each toe. However, instead of two fins, a third one that had begun to grow, creating the Y shape and covering a part of the bottom of the bathtub. His penis and balls, which were exposed until now they disappeared behind a flap of skin, so it looked as if they had never existed, but he knew they were there safe and sound. It didn't hurt, but it was strange, all the pressure and shifting of his bones beneath the skin. It reminded him about the time when he fell off his bicycle and broke his ankle.
Then the scales came along with the colors covering his entire lower body from below the belly button to his fishtail. The color of his scales were a mixture of Blues, white, and black with a few orange scales as well but not enough. Now for the final part of his transformation, which was the elf ears and his hair changed to be a darker blonde, and the muscles on his body grow a little to help with the swimming.
After a few minutes of waiting, nothing seemed to change. Finally, being able to relax in the warm water as he stared at his new fishy limp with amazement. This new body will help him explore the sea without the fear of ever drowning. It was time to test this new ability of his. By lifting his left hand up to his face, taking a deep breath, and closing his nose. He slipped his head and torso below the surface of the water and waited. Trying to remain as calm as possible by counting numbers, a technique he learned from the TV. Beginning with the 1-5 he counted them fast and as he was about to continue with the number 6, he had opened his mouth, swallowing the water. Panicking, he got up to breathe air and splashed water all around the tub with his tail. That was scary, but I think it worked, he tried again and this time without holding his nose. 1-10 without problem opening his mouth and the test was a success. After a while, he got the hang of it and with all the splashing and laughing, he heard a knock on the door.
“ Hey, are you enjoying your bath in there” ,his mom called. “ Yes, very much, it's wonderful. Oh and mom, what happened today at the beach it was all real, plus my tail is back ", he replied while trying to hold the excitement in his voice.
