Jack's POV:

As I opened my eyes, I saw a something smooth and white. I lifted up my head a little bit and looked around. It looked like marble and it felt cold. Then, i lifted my head a bit more and I was out of the water. I looked around again and tried to find out where I was. I looked at my tail and saw a shirt on it, like it was trying to fix my tail. I unwrapped it and my tail looked good as new. I should mention that I have a healing factor that I rarely use. I swooshed it around in the water and then I put on the shirt. After some hustle and trying to find out how the shirt worked, I tried listening so I could know who's here. After I heard nothing, I bent forward so I could see some more. Suddenly, I fell out the tub and I fell on my face. I picked myself up and shook my head and then I felt something weird in my tail. I looked at my tail, only to realize that it wasn't there. It was replaced with smooth skin like my top half body. I felt them and they were cold and slimy like my tail but not as scaly. The shirt I was wearing came down to my waist as I tried to get up. I fell multiple times trying to get used to this form I was in. I grabbed onto the thing with a spout thingy on it and I huffed and puffed as it was really hard to move. I gave up trying and I started to crawl on the floor to the what looked like a door? Is that what it's called, I don't know. I crawled to the door and I was surprised to see it cracked opened. When I opened it further, I heard noises. I heard a soft snore coming from, um, I don't know what it's called but it has someone on it. I crawled towards it and got myself up to see  the figure. I was happy because the figure had the familiar red and deep skin tone as Mark. I used my hand and removed a small strand of hair on his head and I smiled. He stirred and I saw his eyes opening. He then turned over and I heard the soft snore again. My um, I think they're called legs, felt weak all of sudden and I fell to the ground. As I fell, I heard a jiggle at the door and I started freaking out more. I then felt under the thing Mark was sleeping on and there was nothing there. I crawled under it until my whole body was under it and I waited for the human to step through. Then, I saw the human's feet. They were colorful and they walked towards the bed. The bed creaked and I heard something hit something else with something soft. "Come on, you lazy piece of shit, you promised a game of cluster truck." He said that in a weird accent and tone. I heard groaning and I'm guessing it was Mark. "Felix, it's fucking 6 am in the morning, couldn't you have waited for me to at least be fully awake before we play?" "Nope, I'm full of energy and I want to burn it by beating you in cluster truck." Were they gonna play with trucks? I didn't have a clue of what they were talking about and then the bed creaked again and the human named Felix got off and walked towards the bathroom. He stopped and it looked like he was checking out the door. "Hey, Mark, did you go into the bathroom?" There was a silence and I heard Mark. "Uh, yeah, I guess I must have accidentally left it open. I was super tired yesterday." With that the Felix went into the bathroom and closed the door. Suddenly, there was a creak from the bed and the covers were thrown back, revealing underneath the bed. I scooted back some more to make sure I'm not seen. I saw that Mark walked towards the so called bathroom and he started knocking on the door. The door opened and I heard Felix say, "Yo, Mark, I know you were tired, but you really  need to start emptying the tub." There was more silence and then Mark started. "Oh, um, yeah, I s-should s-start doing that, thanks for the heads up." "Also, did you also notice water on the floor?" "N-no, I didn't, I'm just as oblivious as you." The door closed and Mark walked back to the bed where I was. Mark stopped at the edge and looked down. "What the fuck?" He said as he moved a bit. I then saw him get on the ground and look under the bed. He squinted his eyes and I guess he saw me anyway. "Jack?" I crawled towards him and poked my head out from under the bed. "Um, hi" "Jack, how did you get out of the bathtub?" "And for that matter the bathroom?" "Well, I grew weird limbs, and I crawled out of the bathroom and then I got scared when I heard Felix come in." "So, you hid underneath the bed?" I nodded my head slowly and he sighed. "Alright, when Felix leaves, get from under the bed and I'll get you some clothes,ok?" I nodded my head again, and the door opened again. I scooted my head back and Mark put the covers back over. "What were you looking for bro?" "Oh, I thought I left something from underneath the bed, turns out I didn't." "Right, well, I left something at Marzia's house and when I get back, we're playing cluster truck." "Alright, or action henk." "Either way, gonna beat you." I heard the door close and Mark lifted the covers and I crawled from underneath the bed. I stayed on the ground and got in what Mark called it, crisscross. He looked at me for a second and realized my new attachments. "Jack, how do you have legs?" I shrugged and tried again to stand up. This time, Mark helped me and I stood up fine. He let go and I was standing up like him. My legs felt weak but it was manageable. "So, um, how do you feel?" "I feel fine, just a little cold." "I have some clothes for you. Hang on" While he was getting my clothes, I lifted up my shirt and started wiggling my hips. "Alright, I have s-" He stopped and I looked at him. He looked away and gave me the clothes still not looking at me. I was confused and I grabbed the clothes and set them on the ground. I took off the shirt and saw another shirt this one dry and then I was trying to figure out was the next piece of clothing are. Mark saw me having trouble and he helped me figure out what kind of clothes I was wearing. When I was done,  I noticed that they were baggy and big. "Aww, very cute." I heard Mark say. I looked at him and blushed. "If  you're still cold, get under the blanket." He pointed to his bed and I crawled into it. I pulled the blanket over my head and it did feel warm. I saw Mark lift it up a little and smile. "Hehe, yeah,get comfortable, I'm gonna go take quick bath and then I'll get more blankets." I nodded slowly and started to drift off to sleep. When I fell asleep, I thought I heard a door open and thought it was Mark opening the bathroom door. I then felt the blanket removed my face and I looked up to see a new figure. It was tall, thin, and it had the blanket in it's hand. It looked like he had a shocked expression on his face as he looked at me. But, who was he?
