Jenny decided to look around in the closet. Maybe there was something interesting or something that could help her get out of the costume back there. Eventually, she found a box labeled: COSTUME EXTENSIONS
She pulled the box out of the closet. She had to pull herself too because she couldn't walk with her mermaid tail. It was very difficult.
When the box was out of the dark of the closet, Jenny found a sign under the label on the box:
To be added onto any costume. Don't worry, the oil works on these add-ons too. The extensions won't be permanently attached to the costume you add it too. When you apply the oil, it will come off separately. Just like the costumes, do not wear clothing to put these on.
Jenny wasn't wearing clothes because the mermaid costume didn't have clothes on. That was the first moment when she realized that she was naked. Then something else hit her.
"What's 'the oil'?" Said Jenny to herself.
She decided to call Arthur and ask. She picked up the phone on the bedside table and clicked the 'help' button. Arthur answered the phone.
Arthur: Jen? Are you in danger?
Jenny: No no of corse not. I just need to ask you something.
Arthur(sighing): Oh good. I thought you were in trouble. In the future, if you need me, don't click the 'help' button. Dial the mansions home number.
Jenny: Sorry Arthur. What's the mansions home number?
Arthur: There's a piece of paper that has it written on it. It should be under the phone.
Jenny: Oh here it is! Thank you Arthur!
Arthur: You're welcome. Now, what did you want to ask me?
Jenny: Oh right! I put on one of the costumes from the closet. The mermaid one. I also found a box of costume extensions. On the box, there's a sign that mentions "oil" several times. What the oil?
Arthur: I'm glad you called me about that. The oil was designed by Randall Parkhurst, like the costumes. It can get you out of the costumes and extensions. If you rub some of the oil on your hand and then run that hand over where the seam used to be, the seam will appear again. The costumes are designed to make the wearer into whatever the costume is. The oil is designed to help the wearer get back to their normal self. You can find the oil in the drawer on your bedside table. By the way, you can wear the extensions by themselves if you want.
Jenny: Thank you so much Arthur!
Arthur: Don't mention it. By the way, once you're done experimenting with the costumes, I want to see you in one of them. In fact, come down to breakfast with one on in the morning.
Jenny: Um ok. I'll do that.
She hung up. Now she could experiment all she wanted! Excitedly, she dragged herself to the costume extensions box and opened it.
It was full to the brim with all sorts of things! Wigs, masks, fake claws and nails, different types of fake teeth, all different breast and butt sizes, a fat suit, all the stages of a pregnant belly, tentacles, gills, tails, ears, and many other things. There were also a few things that Jenny didn't recognize. One just looked like a belly. Not pregnant, not chubby, just average. There was a tag on it that simply read "I want babies!" Jenny examined it, confused. There was no label or sign on it to say what it did. Jen put it back.
Jenny took out the 9 month pregnant belly. She had alwayswondered how a mermaid would look when pregnant. She pressed it against her own belly and fastened the straps behind her. She stared at herself in the mirror and saw how real the belly looked. It even felt real. She felt around where the straps should be but they weren't there. She felt a hint of panic but kept telling herself the she could always take it off and that she should enjoy herself.
Feeling worried, Jenny dragged herself to the bedside table and got out one of at least a dozen bottles of clear oil. She pulled herself back to where she had left the box of extensions and set down the bottle.
"There." She thought. "Now I can take anything off anytime."
That's when she felt a kick. It surprised her so much, she nearly fainted.
Kick...kick kick...kick....KICK
She held her bulging belly as...the baby gave her a hard kick. She realized that it must be getting ready to come out. Her breasts began to swell with milk, blue veins popping out. Her nipples darkened and hardened. Jenny started panicking.
"I shouldn't have picked the nine month!" She said. "I need to take this thing off, before its too late!"
She spread the oil on her hand just as she doubled over in pain. She felt the baby start coming out.
