Although, Charlotte's joy of being human and home again didn't last. As Charlotte was hugging her father, her mother was the only one to notice the birthmark on her daughter's stomach glow. She stared at it as it morphed into the shape of a pair of legs. When the glow faded, Charlotte's mother needed to let her know "Um... honey. Your birthmark?"
Charlotte stopped and looked down and when she noticed the familiar shape she started to panic. Then she felt the same pain as before causing her to scream at the top of her lungs. She could do nothing but hold onto her father as the metamorphosis began.
"Why? I thought I lost enough weight". Charlotte cried as her feet grew and grew, eventually becoming the fanned fins as she had a few moments ago. Then her legs slammed together and the skin remolded around them forcing her legs to become one. The bones in her legs and feet formed into one as well, causing Charlotte to hold on tight to her father. The fins proved useless once again and as they kept flapping, Charlotte slowly sank to the floor in utter shock. The long blond hair once again shot out from her skull and the large amount of hair covered Charlotte's body.
She brushed her locks away and looked upon herself once again with the form that she thought she had worked hard to be rid of. All that wasted effort and all it got her was a slimmer body. Charlotte's mother and father were also astounded that their daughter was still becoming a mermaid.
