Emma hastily turned off the faucet and stepped out of the shower and as she did, fumbled embarrassingly. She tumbled out of the shower and very nearly collapsed on her knees. It was no fault of her own, her sense of balance felt all off, her legs weak and wobbly. She dropped with a yelp and groaned as she fell on her side.
There she finally looked down, and gasped at what she saw, not necessarily in terror, but awe. On her bare thigh there had already manifested a sparkling patch of scales, a pleasing and cool blend of silvery white and pale blue. Her hand reached out gingerly to touch them and she yelped again as she quickly retreated her fingers. They were very real, very tender to the touch, and to her surprise not the cold and slimy texture she would expect. Very much what touch of the mermaid she’d rescued resembled.
Mustering her strength she pulled herself up on her shaky legs and rose to her feet. With her elbows propping her on the sink, she wiped away the steam condensed on her bathroom mirror, and what she saw she almost couldn’t recognize. First of all were no more brown eyes, instead luminous ice blue irises took in the sight before her. Her dark hair was instead stark white, framing one side of her face. She looked as though she’d stepped out of the shower in runway quality makeup, the colors accentuating her eyes and lips drew further attention to her new silver and blue color coordination. She couldn’t avoid looking down at her chest either. Her breasts too had filled out with the rest of her changes to present a godly appearance.
She was gorgeous, and as she took it all in, her concern turned to adoration. She cradled her face in her palms and smiled knowingly. “Thank you.” She mouthed silently to her life changing mermaid acquaintance, wherever she was.
“Emma, you okay? I heard a thud, you sound like you could use a hand.” Jessica asked as she cracked open the door. As she opened it further, she saw that he new Emma and her eyes widened. “Emma?! I barely recognized you!”
“Neither did I at first, but this is the new me, and I…” her voice trailed off as she only faintly acknowledged the sultry tones that came from her lips. “I don’t know if I have a lot of time here. Sammy, I’m feeling a calling to the ocean. Remember that beach we used for college parties? I need a ride there in particular. I know this is a lot to ask out of the blue, but I think only you can help me… I can’t drive myself, my legs are too weak.”
Jessica took in her request, and decided what to do next.
