Lina yanked the pearls off and almost immediately began to change again. Her tailfin began to turn back into feet and her tail split back into legs. The lilac color was the last to change, slowly fading back to Lina's normal skin tone.
"The necklaces really work!" exclaimed Lina.
"You should have believed me" said Amy. "I guess mermaid tails need to stay wet."
"Lets get home and try these out in the water."
"Definitely."
Amy continued home without further incident, though she noticed Lina never put her necklace back in the bag with the other one. Instead, she kept it in her hands, absentmindedly figiting with it.
As they got out of the car in her driveway, Amy commented on her friend's behavior.
"Excited about the necklace now?"
"Yes! I never thought something like this was possible. I can't wait to swim as a mermaid!"
As soon as the girls were inside, Amy went to get some towels and a bikini top while Lina made a beeline for the pool.
