I swam around a little more and then went back inside, I went inside the tube and out the other end and waited for Dr. Lambrick to join me. It took her a couple of minutes but eventually she made her way into the room and then into the terrarium. "Okay, girl. We have a date set for your big move to the pacific! So we're going to have to expedite your lessons a bit, so we're going to start lesson three right now," she said, "as a female seal, your body will be sought after by male seals, who weigh about three times your weight and are much longer. If you are in the circumstance where you are approached by a male, do not try and flee. He will pin you down to the ground and try to mate with you. You have no way of resisting, so your only option is to take his gift with open flippers. In short, you will be raped. A lot. It's part of the life, but you'll get used to it and come to want it more and more. Sometimes you may even be mated with even when you are not in heat, in that case, just try to enjoy the sex when it happens. Males are constantly trying to reproduce, and you will learn about the yearly ritual of sex in the next lesson. Yes, it is real, and yes, it is wild." I started to get nervous and have some thoughts... What if I die? What if I fail to have my pups? I asked myself. "Please try to love your new life, okay girl?" She asks me. I bark and tilt my head.
"Okay, good. Let's move on to your next lesson, the ritual of sex," she said, "from December to March of each year, 1800 females and 800 males gather on the beach, where males will fight for the right to mate with you. Don't worry, you will not be involved in these fights, and they may be interesting to watch. Just remember that you are the prize of the fight and you will be mated with as soon as the fight is over, so be prepared for it. It should be something you should get excited for, as you will be in heat for most of that time, lustful for males. If the thought sounds gross, you'll have to get used to it, but we did inject strong hormones into you, which should make you enticed by the idea." I couldn't wait for December. I wanted to leave this lab right now and head out to Sex City, USA immediately. December is in just two weeks! I started barking as a sign of excitement and she seemed to pick up on it quickly.
"Do you want to hear the best part, girl?" She asked me, getting excited, I barked and flapped my flippers splashing the water. "Your big move is set right before the beginning of December!" I bark rapidly and flail about in pure ecstasy. She laughs and pats me on my head. She lays down on the beach and I get out of the water and lay next to her. We exchange stares as she smiles at me. "You ready for your final lesson?" She says quietly. I nod at her and then snuggle up next to her. She wraps her arms around me and hugs me tight. Who knew it took turning into a seal to get a hug from a woman. I thought to myself. Dr. Lambrick sits up and crosses her legs. I rest my head upon her thigh and close my eyes. She chuckles strokes my head, then she kisses the top of my head. Right before I drift off to sleep I hear her whisper, "I love you," and then everything goes black.

I awake to me sitting on the beach, in a lawn chair. I look down at my hands and see that I'm human again. I hear Dr. Lambrick's voice echo throughout my head. I turn to the left and there she is, sitting right there, staring at me and stroking my hair. "I love you," she says to me. "I— I love you too, Dr. Lambrick." I say to her. "Please, call me Vivien," she asks of me. I give her a weird look and lean in for a kiss. She leans in too and we exchange a beautiful kiss, but I don't feel anything romantic about her. I don't love her anymore. There's a void that needs filling, but whatever's on this beach isn't filling it.
