Melissa took out a cookie from the box and ate it. Now that they knew for sure where Serenity was, Melissa seemed to get her appetite back.
“Hand me some of those frosted flakes, could you?” Stefanie asked. Melissa grabbed the box and flashed a mischievous grin across her face. She lightly shook the box over the bathtub as if portioning out fish food. “Ha, ha, very funny.” Stefanie said sarcastically.
“I saw you crack a smile Stef.” Melissa said.
The two ate their fill pretty quickly Stefanie said. “I’m glad to see your mood is improving.”
“Well, I’m keeping my hopes up that Emily will catch Serenity and force her to reveal the secret to changing us back.”
“I’m certainly going to enjoy it as long as I can.”
“I just wish we could use the apartment complex’s pool, that tub is very cramped, especially with both of us in it; plus, you’re too… frisky.”
After a moment, Stefanie spoke up. “Why don’t we? I mean, it’s just out the back door.”
“’Cause we’ll get seen!” Melissa suggested.
“Nobody’s going to use the pool on a day like this. It’s humid as fuck, the area is soaked and it’s probably going to rain again later. Besides, anyone who sees us will probably think these are costumes.”
Mulling it over, Melissa agreed to the idea. “Okay, I’ll get the door, you write a note telling Emily what we’re doing.” As Melissa flopped over to the back door, Stefanie wrote a note on the back of Serenity’s saying:
‘Went to pool with Melissa, tub is cramped; if anyone sees us, we’ll tell them the tails are costumes.’
After some struggle reaching the door, Melissa got it open. Stefanie soon caught up with her fellow mermaid and crawled over her, sneaking a kiss on the cheek along the way. Melissa was glad for her upper body strength acquired from her time in high school gymnastics as she held onto the door handle while hauling her tail past the doorway.
The sopping wet concrete made crawling across it much easier, ironically, than the carpet. The contact with the water felt good on her tail. Stefanie got the gate open and crawled to the pool. As Melissa followed, Stefanie rolled to her side, tumbled and shifted until she was sitting upright, inched her way to the pool’s edge and dipped her tail in, letting out a sigh.
Melissa crawled up alongside of her, pushed up with her arms, swung her tail around like she was on a pommel horse and dipped her tail in as well.
“I see you haven’t lost your touch.” Stefanie said, recalling the times Emily took her to see Melissa’s gym meets. Melissa could feel Stefanie’s tail brushing up against hers. “So, you ready?”
Melissa didn’t say a word; she just dove into the pool, keeping beneath the water and quickly swimming to the deep end. She took a deep breath and sighed. “Wow, neat!”
Melissa saw Stefanie swim up to her. “It seems you’re as graceful underwater as in gymnastics.”
The two girls spent a few minutes swimming around, surfacing on occasion so as to avoid panic or suspicion.
The two mermaids were at the surface when Stefanie spoke up. “You know, with any luck, we may be back to normal soon.”
“Yeah, as much as I’m enjoying this now, I don’t see this as something I want to be permanent.” Melissa answered.
“Nor do I,” Stefanie agreed, “but if is to end, I want there to be no regrets about missing the… full experience.” She said in a suggestive tone.
“What are you getting at, Stef?”
Stefanie moved closer. “Haven’t you ever wondered how an all female race… you know…?” Stefanie smiles seductively.
“Stef, no! I… I couldn’t do that to Emily!”
“She doesn’t need to know, plus it’s a 40 minute drive to the airport. I anticipate 30 to find and drag away Serenity, then another 40 for the return. We have plenty of time to… enjoy ourselves.”
Melissa was still apprehensive. “I don’t know.”
“Come on, it’s not like you’re taking my virginity; a fellow cheerleader already took care of that. Plus, I know I’m not taking yours either.”
“What if it causes more changes, or makes it irreversible?”
“Serenity said herself she was turned by another mermaid who wanted a companion. You can’t honestly think they didn’t enjoy each other.” Melissa was still reluctant. “Look, most guys would kill for this exact situation. Nailing the best friend’s hot sister; a cheerleader, and a mermaid to boot.”
Melissa was already aroused from Stefanie’s advances. There was no doubt she wanted to… badly.
