Even though Amy agreed to keep her Mom's curse a secret, there was still the worry that Amy may spray her with water if they get in an argument or something. Jane decided to be careful around her daughter or her life as a human may be over. When they both left the bathroom, Jane went back downstairs to read her fantasy novel and wait for her husband. Just as a precaution, she put on a pair of knee high boots over her pantyhose and panties. She didn't want to reveal her secret to another being. Her 12 hours were reset so she just needed to worry about getting wet throughout the night. Meanwhile, Amy was in a state of confusion. First she thought her life was pretty normal, but now tonight she finds her Mom with a fish tail. The problem was that Amy wanted to be a mermaid all her life and after finding out her Mom was one, she thought her Mom had missed out. It felt unnatural to her that her Mom never visited the beach to swim since finding the bracelet. Maybe there was some way Amy could convince her.
A couple of days later, Amy awoke and found out a package for her had arrived. Jane had no idea what it was but she left it outside Amy's door so she would find it later. When Amy found out what it was, she was thrilled. To Jane, it was another normal day in the household, But Amy's plan to convince her Mom to be a mermaid was just about to start. 11 hours had passed since Jane last transformed, so before the 12th hour, Jane excused herself to the bathroom to wash up. During that time Amy began phase 1 by sneaking around and planting traps around her Mom and Dad's bedroom.
Jane left the bathroom an hour later, human again and her chest wrapped in a towel. She hurried for the bedroom to get dressed but as soon as she entered, she noticed she immediately stepped in a large puddle of water. Without a moment too soon, Jane slammed the door shut, locked it and jumped on the bed. Whoever dropped and left the water on the floor was going to be in big trouble when she regained her legs. Jane couldn't feel her legs at this point so she removed the towel off her chest and vigorously tried to dry her transforming feet. By the time she was dry again, her feet were now her regular large fins, and were about to transform back. Jane looked over at the door. The puddle didn't come from a leak so it must have been Amy as (apart from the baby) she is the only other one in the house. Jane had been scared many times before but to find her daughter tricking her was definitely the worst feeling.
When Jane regained control of her legs again and was fully dressed with her legs covered, she carefully stepped over the puddle, unlocked the door and stormed to Amy's room. The 18 year old was surprisingly not there. Instead, a note addressed to Jane lay on the bed.
Mom,
Drop Emily at Grandma's house and meet me at the beach so we can go for a swim. I have what you need when you get there. If you don't make it by 2pm, I may or may not reveal this secret of yours. Amy x
