Before they are able to do anything, you manage to grab your wife and head outside. All you can hear are the scientists calling for you to come back but you know exactly what they intend to do. They want to probably dissect her in use for their experiments. You are now outside with your naked wife in your arms but where do you plan on going. The woods, the sea. You figure you need to go somewhere where they can't find you, where nobody can find you. You head for the car, and place your wife inside. You turn the car on and speed away from your peaceful home. Doctors and scientists try to stop you but you manage to get away. As soon as you were clear, you knew the time was right to tell her the truth.
"Honey, why did you just do that? They were trying to cure me". She covers herself as much as possible with her arms.
"Look, I made a terrible mistake the other day and I cannot fix it but I just want you to forgive me on this one".
"What do you mean?" She asks.
You take a deep breath. "I found a genie. Well a transformation genie. He had the power of transforming someone into a mythical creature either permanent or temporary. The first person who popped into my head was you. You are becoming a mermaid and all because of me."
Your wife checks herself over. It was all coming into place. The scales, the webbed toes, the long hair. She knew her husband's serious face. She knew right there and then she was becoming a mermaid. She was in utter shock.
"Why would you do something like this. I'm your wife, not some kind of freak show. Please tell me this is temporary."
"Well... no. It's permanent. You will be a full mermaid in 25 days. I'm sorry. But right now, we need to get you somewhere far away from everyone."
