Under the cover of fog and the useful distraction of the bar customers and staff gradually migrating toward the stage, the four nascent mermaids and their fully transformed charge made ready for their getaway. The women all shivered as they pulled themselves out of the hot weather. Feeling the cool mist blowing from the fans touch their hot skin and tender new scales, the partial mermaids began to coo and pant with excitement from the pleasurable sensation. Even Mindy had started to bite her lip and groan as she hugged her chest a little tighter.
“Attagirl!” Cheered Sylvia as she patted her on the back. “I know this has gotta be doing a lot to you, but you can’t bottle that shit up.”
“But we can put it on hold for just a minute til’ we’re all in the ocean.” Cut in Carrie, who was being carried out of the pool by the shoulders by Jenn, her arms tucked under her armpits, while Rebecca dragged her long amethyst tail up onto dry land.
“Care to help us ladies? These tails are heavier than they look.” Jenn grunted as her knees started to tremble. “And I dunno how much longer my legs have got.”
“We gotcha.” Sylvia confirmed, Mindy silently backing her up as the two women began helping spread out the loud as they carried the mermaid onward to the hatch.
“I’ll be sure to show you all just how grateful for this I am… once we’re somewhere I can show you what this thing is capable of.” Caroline purred. “Fuck me it feels so good. I hope we’ll stay like this forever.”
“Me too, Carrie. I have a feeling we will be too…” Jenn replied. The woman continued fantasizing her way toward the hatch but as she did, Jen started to realize something astounding. The images of her friends as a mermaid polycule weren’t just fantasies, not dreams, not figments of the imagination. It was real, or it would be, anyway. Jen was seeing the future, she was starting to develop a supernatural power, as the mermaid virus would occasionally grant as part of the transformation in addition to becoming merfolk.
They’d nearly made it, the hatch itself within arm’s reach. Rebecca had begun to open the large metal trapdoor, loosening the valve and lifting the heavy lid open. Meanwhile Sylvia and Mindy had taken careful effort to align Carrie’s tail so they could easily slide the mermaid down the drop into the ocean harmlessly. They would have almost done it, until they heard someone not paying any mind to the show, someone who’d just found them.
In that moment, Caroline hitched her breath as her shimmering eyes looked upward. She feared that the bounced or some security guard had just found them, and that the jig was up. She knew she could hit someone very hard with a sudden flick of her long, muscular tail, but she couldn’t do much if a whole group of assailants tried to get physical or restrain them from going down.
Instead, she identified a familiar face. She was a hostess, the one she recognized as handing her her locker keys at the beginning of the night. She was very beautiful, long black hair tied into a bun that had become much messier as her already lengthy follicles had apparently grown even lusher. She had a full face with a cute nose, narrow brown eyes ringed in smoke, and a slim fitting dress that seemed to be hugging her body a little more tightly than it had before. What was most noticeable though was the thin membranous film colored a dark blue that was sprouting between her knuckles.
She put a finger to her lips conspiratorially. “Shh… don’t worry. I’m Ye Ji, don’t worry I’m with you gals, I want to go with you, in fact. I just… I just feel like I need to go to the ocean, as soon as possible, you see?”
“You know it…” Rebecca sighed with relief.
“Come right along then gorgeous… if you’re feeling brave.” Teased Caroline as she pinched her nose and squeezed her eyes shut before Sylvia and Jenn gave her a big push down into the sea. One by one, the remaining women each took a dive in sequence, Ye Ji was last to take the plunge, but not before shimmying out of her dress and shoes for ease of mobility. She decided that the underwear would also be ultimately unnecessary, so it was with a shiver of excitement that she tore out of her bras and panties as well before leaping down as naked as could be.
One by one, a series of splashes ripped the surface of the ocean as the women dropped into the water, a swift current dragging them off to a strictly off-limits private beach.
