She wakes up first.
Amy sits, and sits up in bed, puts her feet over the edge and walks to the bathroom in a daze.
Once inside she halts. She sees herself in the mirror. She has legs! She walked here!
The previous night comes back to her. She was a mermaid! it felt so good and so right.. but she was worried about her life as a human. and now it’s gone!
“I can’t believe this!” She said to herself. “Was that just a dream? Or did I really wish away my once chance at being a mermaid. I didn’t even swim!” Still incoherent with sleep, she nearly cries, and then goes about her routine as normal. Her hair is a mess from getting out of the pool and straight into bed. She absentmindedly takes off her bikini and steps into the shower.
The sound of water running wakes you up. You look around and notice she’s gone. Where could she have gone, - and how?
You head towards the bathroom to see. She’s turned on the shower and is just wetting her hair when she hears you enter and turns to look at you through the glass shower door.
“John! .. I.. “ Her legs go out from under her. “Ow! .. what..ooOooh…”
Her legs are now stuck together and are beginning to fuse. Her feet flattened, extended and stretched before filling out to become her fluke. Her legs continued to fuse all the way up. They completely closed and only a small triangular indentation was left, her vagina having been pushed forward in the change. A small fin protruded on each side at thigh-level. This time, everything was the same colour has her skin. She was left lying mostly on her back with her tail now up against the glass wall. “ohh… “ She added, marking that at least some pleasure was associated with the process.
“What happened, Amy?”
“I.. I don’t know.” She responded. “I woke up this morning and came in her before I remembered that I shouldn’t have been able to walk.. I absentmindedly undressed and got in the shower.. My head was just clearing and I was beginning to feel sad that I only had a few hours as mer… You came in a minute later… and now see the rest!”
“You changed back.. and then back again!.. I thought the change was permanent.. but maybe I didn’t understand.. maybe mermaids are able to walk on land when dry, and sprout fins when wet?”
“As ridiculous as it sounds.. I mean.. we’re talking about a genie and magical creatures.. I’m not sure there are any rules.. but.. could you help me?”
You open the door and turn off the water. You pick her up and carry her to the edge of the tub. Her tail is all skin, but there’s still something of the smooth elasticity of her dolphin tail. There may be a tinge of green, but it’s hard to tell.
You hand her a towel. “Here.. maybe dry off and we’ll see what happens?..”
“If you’re right, it’s baths from now on.. but I guess I’ll have a semi normal life.. as long as I’m never in a water fight..”
You notice her bikini bottom on the floor, the dolphin insignia is visible.
“Hey.. so.. last night you had a dolphin tail, like this” You say, holding the swimsuit bottom. “and this morning you end up with a skin tail.. is the kind of tail altered by what you’re wearing?”
“Maybe..” She said, continuing to wipe away the water. “mm..” she moaned as she reached the point where her legs fused.
“Ahh..” She shivered a bit, and her body returned to normal, her tail splitting and changing back into her well sculpted legs.
“This is comforting.. but I already miss the tail… “ A thought struck her. “I’ve got lots of swimsuits, let alone other clothes.. maybe we should try something else?”
