“Now Jen, Dr. Yates has explained everything to me and it seems you’re experiencing something completely unknown to medical science. Now I don’t want you to worry, everyone here is highly trained and will do everything they can to make you as comfortable as possible” A grey haired Dr. was saying to the scared teen.
“C-can you make it stop?” Jen asked as the cramping started to return, it was coming more frequently now but her legs seemed to have stopped fusing, they were now joined from mid-thigh to her heels and she could still flex the lower half of her feet independently.
“I’m not going to lie to you Jen, I’m afraid there’s not a lot we can do but monitor the changes, and see what’s happening to the chemistry in your body. If we can find a trigger we might be able to stop it, but it might stop naturally a long time before we find out how.”
“You think it will stop?” Jen asked hopefully while squeezing her mother’s hand tighter.
“Well it seems the fusing has stopped, there’s not a lot more leg available and it seems to have reached a logical conclusion. We can only hope that the wetness will also start to...” He was interrupted by a small gasp from Jen as she wriggled uncomfortably. “... are you alright?” he asked her, before signalling several other doctors over. The pain in her legs had suddenly become overwhelming, Jen squirmed and writhed involuntarily and lost her grip on her mother’s hand. Her eyes tightly closed and her mouth open in cries of agony, Jen squirmed and slid around the bath. She felt the hands of the doctors on her shoulders and was aware of her mother crying as she was quickly ushered from the room.
The cramping became a burning which started to ache, Jen felt as though her legs were covered in hot sticky tar. After several agonising moments the pain rapidly subsided and Jen was able to open her eyes. She found herself staring straight up into the faces of several doctors, but they weren’t looking back at her.
Time seemed to go slowly for the cheerleader, first she noticed how their eyes were staring past her, beyond her field of vision. It rapidly came to her attention that her bathrobe had been ripped open during the struggle and she was now lying completely naked in front of all the doctors, but this thought was quickly replaced by the fact that her mother was missing.
Jenny sat up as though in slow motion, uncaring as to her exposure she looked at all the doctors before following their gaze towards her legs...
...Only her legs didn’t look like her legs anymore.
From the middle of her thighs down to the tips of her toes Jen’s body had taken on a shiny aquatic blue sheen. Jen quickly realised her skin had been replaced with a surface of millions of tiny fish scales, each too small to see individually. From the sides of her pointed feet two large expanses of leathery skin had grown, forming the end of a fish’s tail. Both lay uselessly fanned out, overlapping the edge of the bath. But in every other way her legs still resembled those of a human, it was as though someone had painted her legs a metallic blue and she was simply holding them firmly together. At mid-thigh, where the join in her legs and the scales ended, there was a small ridge that marked the boundary between scales and skin. Above the ridge she was completely human; she still had the tops of her thighs, her pussy and ass, which were at this moment rather embarrassingly exposed.
Time started to speed up as everyone in the room stood and looked in silence, Jen started to cry for her mother but several doctors stopped her from entering.
“What’s happened?!” Jen’s mother demanded, “I want to see my daughter!”
“Jen, don’t panic ok, we’ll perform more tests... and...” The conviction in the doctors voice faded, he was still staring in awe at the mermaid lying in the bath tub in front of him.
