Chapter I
Armin used to love mermaids when he was a boy. He had found many books about them and was fascinated by them, by their long hair, by their beautiful, shimmering tails, all the mystery surrounding their existence, all he wanted to do was to visit the ocean and look for them to find out if they were real.
It was mid-noon. The sun was low and dark in the sky casting a warm glow onto pavement below Armin as he sat alone by the river reading a book called The Little Mermaid. It was about a mermaid who fell in love with a prince and dreamed to live on land. Armin looked at the sun setting over the wall. It was beautiful, it painted the skies a pale pink that glowed against the clouds. Armin saw his two best friends Eren and Mikasa heading his way, they had been outside his line of sight all day and were glad to see him at last.
"Armin!"
Eren called out as he ran up towards his friend to hug him. "What are you reading?" Eren asked him.
"The Little Mermaid... it's about a mermaid and..." Eren cut in.
"Mermaids?! Hahaha... oh Armin, you know you'll never find one right?" "Yeah Eren, I know... but we can all dream can't we? Once we explore outside the walls one day we could visit the ocean"
That was the last time they spoke to each other before they could only recall brief memories about being carried somewhere while they had gone to sleep that night. Carried to a strange beach. They were first injected with a strange drug they had never seen before, stripped, gagged and dragged outside the walls by mysterious people. Once they had woke up they were hit by a wave of nausea and a wave of seawater. Armin was the first to wake. He slowly opened one eye and he could see that he was no longer in his bed. He felt cold. It was then that he realised that he was wearing nothing, just lying out on sand. Wait! He thought SAND?! He sat up and looked around him, a cool gust of wind hitting his chest as he did. It was the first time he had ever seen sand! We must be on a beach! He thought! He tried to stand up but his legs felt limp, like they weren't there. Armin looked at his legs and to his shock, he found that his legs had disappeared and been replaced with a tail! A turquoise blue mermaid's tail covered in glistening scales and fins! A tail! His dreams had come true! He lightly touched it to see that it was real and he wasn't just dreaming. It was real! He was a merman with a beautiful blue tail! A tail! He had a tail!
He turned to his side to see Eren and Mikasa, both with tails just like him, fast asleep on the beach!
"Eren! Mikasa!"
He shouted
"Wake up!"
It took a few moments but Eren and then Mikasa slowly got up and were stunned when they realised like him that they had grown tails!
"Armin!" Mikasa shouted
"What's happened? Where are we?!" questioned Eren.
He looked at his emerald green tail. Both boys were quite comfortable being without shirts but Mikasa was not since she was a girl. She covered up her breasts with her arms as she tried to pull her way over to the two of them.
"Eren, Armin... what happened to us?"
"Mikasa, we should get into the water before we dehydrate! I've heard it happen before, if a fish is out of water for too long it all dries up and dies!"
Armin shouted. They all agreed and dragged themselves into the ocean. Each of them could find that they could breathe underwater which was a strange feeling. They had gills and fins which allowed them to swim with ease further down into the water.
Mikasa swayed her tail about. Eren thought it was beautiful how her ruby scales shimmered and glittered. She was more beautiful than he'd ever seen her, now that she was topless and had a mermaid tail. She covered her chest in embarrassment. "Eren, stop looking!" Armin held in a giggle.
"Don't worry Mikasa, I'll help find you something you can wear if it's uncomfortable for you"
"But how?!"
Eren said "How are you going to find her a top to wear out in the ocean genius?!"
"I have an idea you guys"
The other two looked up
"Mikasa, if there is a shipwreck there are usually plenty of materials lying about that I could make into a top"
"You're serious?"
Mikasa decided that it was the best choice considering they were mermaids and could not go outside the water.
"Alright, but you'll have to do it Armin"
"I'll help too!" Eren said as he swam over to Armin and grabbed his friend's hand.
"We'll both fetch you something to wear, unless of course you're fine with being topless!"
Eren laughed and Mikasa gave him a playful whack with her tail.
"Oh stop it Eren!"
