Darkness. He felt heavy. His mouth's dry and there was a weird taste on his tongue. It was bitter and he didn't like it. He felt dizzy and oddly sickened. His head hurt.

He opened his eyes slowly. Everything's a blur. He blinked as his alien surroundings came into focus. He was startled to see a face up close. A human face. It seemed anxious.

After a pause, it spoke. "Jetsam?"

He stared. How did this human know his name? He never associated with one and rather thinks that humans were vile things to be left alone.

But there was something else on this human's face. A sort of beseeching look he was familiar with on only one being, a being he knew very well. Though seeing such a look on the being is rare, it wasn't impossible.

This must be-

"Flotsam?" he asked back in response. His voice was unknown to him. What was going on?

The human looked a little relieved and nodded. Jetsam sat up and stared at his brother. He quickly looked down at himself. His eyes widen and he shot his gaze to Flotsam.

His companion nodded grimly, as if to say, 'I know...I was shocked too.'

Jetsam's eyes bulleted from one part of the room to another. There was two beds: the one he was one and another on the opposite side. His half of the room was particularly messy.

He looked back at Flotsam. "How did this happen?"

A rather unsure answer was about to be made when another human voice sounded from the other side of the closed door.

"Zack. Cody." it went. They could tell it was female. Probably the mother. The former sea creatures knew that the humans they're in form of were young, judging by the same size.

Obviously, the unseen human wanted them to come. The brothers looked at eachother uncertainly. Should they go?

Well, not like they have much of a choice. They need to discuss the situation they were in with eachother, yes, but they don't need suspecion coming along from the other humans.

Standing up, they had no difficulty walking to the door. They've been transformed into humans once (or twice) before as guinea pigs for Ursula. They knew all they needed to know on the basics.

Opening the door, Flotsam poked his head out to take a look. Jetsam squeezed under him so he could see too. There was a tall lady with short blonde hair. She looked in a hurry, gathering a bag and rushed to fill it with things they weren't familiar with.

She shot them a quick glance. She paused, as if struck.

"You're here and I didn't even say the word 'Breakfast'." she muttered. Flotsam and Jetsam looked at eachother before stepping out of their room.

"Where are you going?" Flotsam asked as if it were Ursula he was speaking to.

"Grocery shopping. I'll be back soon." She rushed towards them, hugged both at the same time, and pecked the tops of their heads with a kiss. Releasing them, she went out the door.

Flotsam and Jetsam was revolted by the gesture, especially since it came from a human. Still, they pretended she was Ursula.

Alone again, Jetsam looked at his brother.

"What do we do now?" he asked. Flotsam shrugged hopelessly.

Cody woke with a jolt. He couldn't remember falling asleep. He remembered turning a machine on and then...

Can't bring up what happened.

Why is he wet? He felt like he was in a pool, but judging from his surroundings and the salty taste of the water, this was not the pool.

With a panic, he noticed that he was submerged. He thrashed around, desperately searching for the surface to take a breath.

He felt different and risked the time to look at himself. His panic got worse. Where's his arms and legs? What's with the tail and fins?

He caught himself gasping and waited for the water to fill his lungs. But it didn't happen. He could breathe underwater! He paused.

He looked around for Zack and found a creature identical to him sleeping on the floor. Cautiously, he approached.

He nudged the thing with his nose. The creature seemed dead to the world. He nudge harder, then risked hitting it on the head with his tail. It didn't work.

Obviously, physical contact won't wake it. Well, if he could breathe underwater, maybe he could talk underwater. It was worth a shot.

"Zack..." he said. His voice sounded so weird, like a liquidy, snake-like sound in words. He cleared his throat. "Zack?" Same voice.

The creature shifted slightly, burying its muzzle in the sand. Cody could hear it grumble things he couldn't make out. There's only one way to know if this is his brother.

"Zack, Breakfast." he said. The creature immediately shot its head up, sending sand everywhere.

"Breakfast?" the creature asked, looking around groggily for plate full of food.

Cody sighed. Yup...it's Zack.
