No. Flippin. Way.

A tail, with scales.

Am I dreaming?

I pinched myself to check.

OUCH!

Nope. Definitely not dreaming. Oh my goodness what is going on here?

I starred back and forth between the man and my tail. My mouth is hanging wide open, and my eyes bulged.

A mermaid...?!

The man laughed at my odd facial expression, blowing bubbles of laughter through the water.

"This isn't funny!" I snapped out of it. "I have a TAIL!!!"

I crossed my arms until he finally sobered up.

"So?"

"So? So!? That's all you have to say!? First you drag me into the water and nearly drown me! And then you bring me to that freak and he makes it sound as if you own me! And you pulled me into the water a second time! And now I have a TAIL!!"

"Again. Please with the shouting."

"I will shout as much as I want mister! Until you tell me what is going on here and why I have a tail! You have a lot of explaining to do!"

"Alright, alright. It has to be done soon anyway."

Now at least partially satisfied, I quieted down, and observed more closely. My tail is a bright shade of blue. It's scales have small flecks of green and silver, causing it to shimmer brilliantly. The same thing covered my chest in the shape my bikini had been. Its also glowing an eerie, yet peaceful light. My bleach blonde hair swimming around me in a majestic way, is colored a generous blue, the same as my tail, on the tips.

Its beautiful. I am beautiful.

Wow.

It took me a moment to draw my attention to another glow mixing with mine. I looked up and saw- I don't even know his name. Well, I saw the man, waiting in front of me patiently. He has a tail too. His is a deep, bright red, with black and silver flecks. Unlike me, he has scales along the back of his muscular biceps. His dark hair has a strip of the red color running through on his right side of his head. The red glow emitting from him joined with my blue glow, causing the water to run a purplish color.

Sexy much?

I did not just say that.

"Come on." He started swimming off behind him.

I attempted to follow. Giving a little flick of my tail, I nearly plummeted myself right into a rock wall.

He looked back with an amused expression covering his face.

I gave him a sour face, not too happy.

No matter how sexy and hot.. and perfect.. awesome.... Ugh! Stop it! Well no matter how much of that he may be, I honestly hate him.

Straightening my jaw, my tail flicked a little more controlled this time, and I was off. Carefully swimming behind him, I struggled to dodge the rocks. But I managed.

Finally, he came to a halt in front of me as we emerged into a spacious underwater room.

I yawned, almost completely exhausted. I hadn't even swam that far. This thing was tougher than I could have ever guessed.

He waited while I settled myself down on a nice size boulder, perfect to use as a chair.

He sighed. "Alright, where do we start?"
