Once upon a time a mermaid named Riley fell in love with a princess named Maya. The two fell in love and became married to the other. But there was still more to their story...

Riley and Maya laid together in bed. It was the morning and the two were completely naked as they hugged the other. They giggled as Maya said, "Oh my gosh. I can't believe you got me to climax like that six times." Riley smiled as she said, "I'll do anything for you my queen." As Maya looked into the eyes of her wife, she said, "And I'm willing to do anything for you my queen. Like re-visiting your people. Don't you miss them?" Riley sighed and said, "I was a mermaid nearly my whole life. Of course I miss it. But I do not wish to go back to it if it means losing you my love." Maya smiled and said, "But you don't have to. As you know, I've always been intrigued by mermaids my whole life. I've dreamed of visiting their kingdoms. And now we may do that. Stories have traveled to my ears of a wizard who lives in a neighboring kingdom. He can supposedly turn humans into mermaids for a limited time. With his help, you could re-visit your people; albeit briefly." Riley smiled as she said, "That... would be amazing. Thank you my love."

Days later, Riley and Maya rode on horseback to a neighboring kingdom. There they met the great wizard known as Farkle. As an act of good will with the hope that resources could be shared with his nation one day, the wizard Farkle gave the two queens a potion that would turn them into mermaids for 36 hours. After receiving the potion, both Riley and Maya went to a nearby beach. As they stood at the waters' edge, the two young women held each other's hands as they drank the potion at the same time. Within seconds, both Riley and Maya's legs turns into tails and the two instantly jumped into the water and began to swim together. As they swam, Maya said, "This is amazing. It's a whole new world to explore." Riley smiled as she continued to hold onto Maya's hand and led her through the ocean territory.

As they two swam together, Maya said, "It's only now that I see the ocean do I realize there is so little I know about sea life. Creatures down here live so differently than humans above. In fact I don't even know how ba... uh..." A curious Riley said, "What is it Maya?" Maya then said, "Um... it's a question that might be too personal." Riley smiled as she said, "We have no secrets between us my love. Ask anything you want." Maya began to blush as she said, "I uh... was just wondering if you could tell me... how are mermaid babies born?" Riley giggled a bit and then said, "When a merman and mermaid love each other very much, they wrap their tails together. Small tiny openings open up in the male's tail that instantly go into small tiny openings in the female's tails. From the male come his many seeds that go into the tiny eggs the female has. The female then lays the eggs and eventually, the babies are born." A curious Maya said, "Babies as in plural. I never asked my love. Do you have any brothers or sisters?" Riley then said, "My father is the king of the merpeople. He has multiple wives and female servants. Between them all, I have nearly a hundred siblings." A wide eyed Maya said, "A hundred!? Dang. Your dad gets around. What was it like being one of so many growing up?" Riley then said, "Lonely. I was the only child my father had with a servant mermaid he cared little for. Thus he cared little for me. I knew I would not be missed if I went to the surface world and became human." Maya who looked saddened said, "I'm sorry to hear that my love." Riley then said, "It's okay. I'm sure he does't remember..."

Suddenly the two were interrupted by the sound of a man yelling, "RILEY!" Riley turned her head and saw a large muscular merman swimming towards her. A wide eyed Riley said, "Daddy?" Riley's father swam up to Riley and hugged her. He then said, "Where have you been? You've been gone for so many weeks." A confused Riley said, "You noticed I was gone?" Riley's father then said, "Of course. Just because I spent so little time with you didn't mean I didn't care. You were always the most resourceful of my daughters, that I just assumed you didn't need me. I... Wait. This mermaid with you... she smells like a human." As Riley's father backed away Riley said, "Well yes. Father, this is a human who used magic to temporarily become a mermaid. I met her on the surface world. I used a potion given to me by the sea witch to become human. You see the two of us met, fell in love and... well... we're married. Father, this is my wife: Queen Maya." Riley's father's eyes became angry as he said, "You married a human!? You defile human female. What spell did you put my daughter under!?" A concerned Maya said, "No spell. I love your daughter sire. I give you my word." Then Riley's father said, "And I shall give you my trident when I throw it through your heart right now!" Riley's father then held up a large trident as Riley yelled "NOOO!"
