While Rachel had been dragged off by Erica, Natalie and Claire were having an ecstatic time. This clothing optional beach thing was great. Why wasn't every beach like this?
Natalie and Claire were swimming in the deep blue water and it felt so good on their skin. It soothed the flesh and relaxed it. Several other people were in the water, too all standing in groups of either two or three. Natalie and Claire did the same but stayed to themselves. There was a couple pleasuring each other near the girls but they didn't pay attention to them. They just loved the feel of the water.
"This water feels so good, Natalie!" Claire said.
"I know what you mean, Claire. It feels great. Do you wanna go back on the beach before we prune?" Natalie said to her and she nodded. They started swimming back to shore, side-by-side.
Suddenly, each girl felt a numbness in one half of their upper torso. They looked at each other but figured it was just the water calming their skin again. They reached the shallows and stood up and realized they were still standing pretty close to one another. They dismissed it and just walked on through the water. They finally stepped out and tried getting away from one another, but found a slight pinch where they were feeling numb. They looked down and saw what was the problem.
Most of their upper bodies had merged together with one pair of shoulders, three breasts, and Natalie and Claire's heads nestled on the shoulders. Their bottom halfs hadn't merged, though. So, they still had their own set of legs. They each had an arm to themselves. The odd thing was that people didn't even give them odd looks when walking by.
"Did the water do this?" Claire said.
"I guess so. Look!" Natalie said, pointing to a sign saying,
MIRACLE MERGE WATER: SWIM AT YOUR PLEASURE
"I guess we should read signs more often." Claire said, rubbing a hand across their body.
"Well, we might as well enjoy this until we can get it reversed." Natalie said.
