"How about we just get me to your car and we can figure it where to go from there?" said a frustrated Jennifer.
"Right" said Emma.
Emma put her arms under Jennifer's back and mermaid tail and strained to lift her.
"Geez, Jenn, lay off the fishburgers..." Emma said.
"Not funny!" protested Jennifer. "It's the extra weight of the tail."
"I'm just pulling your leg..."
"You can go back to pulling my leg when I have any legs to pull!"
Emma picked up Jennifer and started to carry her slowly toward the parking, but after several steps Emma stumbled and fell, dropping Jennifer on the sand in the process.
"Ouch!" said Jennifer. "What happened?"
"My legs gave out" explained Emma.
"I'm not that heavy!"
"It wasn't you. My legs feel weak. Maybe I just got up too quickly?"
Jennifer looked at Emma's legs and was shocked to see they were beginning to turn gray.
"Oh shit!" she exclaimed.
Emma looked at her own legs. "What's going on? What's happening to me?"
Jennifer realized she had forgotten part of Kyle's curse: "Anyone you touch will get the curse too."
