Chapter 3
Hi Everyone, sorry I haven't updated in a while, but all of a sudden I got CRAZY busy! I just had my cousin Adam's wedding, then my sister's birthday party, and now school, but I finally updated!
Enjoy!
Previously on "A Tail to Tell"
I woke up, and went to take a bath and after a few seconds when I was wet, I couldn't see my legs! But what I saw shocked me! I couldn't believe what I was seeing!
(Now let's continue)
I continued to stare at myself in shock! Is this even possible? I thought to myself. Where my legs should be right now were replaced with fish scales, and where my feet should be was a fish fin!
I tried to push myself out of the tub a couple of times, but I found it really hard to since this tail of mine was pretty heavy to move. I pushed with all my force, and finally got myself out of the bathtub. I then flopped onto the floor, which hurt because I had just landed on tile flooring. I then propped myself over, so I could see my tail. I have to be dreaming! So I pinched myself just to make sure, but it hurt when I did, so I knew I wasn't dreaming.
"Maybe since I was wet when I grew my tail, I could dry myself off, and see if it will go away." I said quietly to myself.
I found the towel I was going to use to dry myself after my bath and automatically started drying myself off. When I had completely finished drying myself, my tail went away. I sighed in relief.
How did this happen? I got up from the floor, and walked in the hallway to my room, and sat on my bed, thinking for about 5 minutes until I figured it out.
"I got it." I said to myself "The pool from last night! No wonder I felt strange when the pool was bubbling." But Alexis and Cerena were in the pool with me last night too! What if they have tails too? I had to call them. I found my Blackberry in my room and dialed Alexis and Cerena's numbers.
"Come to my house right now! We need to talk!
"Ok" they both said
About 2 minutes later, I heard the door bell ring. I ran down the stairs, and opened the door to see Alexis and Cerena on their iPods, and looked away from them when they saw me.
"Hey guys, let's go to my room." I said. Then they followed me up to my room and once we were in there, we sat on my bed, then Alexis started talking.
"So what did you want us here for?" she said
"Well, I wanted to show you two something, but first, I need to ask you something." I said
"Ok, what?" said Cerena
"In the pool last night, at the island, did you feel weird, while we were in the water?" I said
"Come to think of it, I did, but I don't know why." said Cerena.
"Me either." said Alexis
"Ok, I think I know why, come with me." I said, then I led them into the bathroom. Luckily no one was here to see this, except for Alexis and Cerena.
Then I grabbed a cup of water, and carefully sat down without spilling any. Then I poured some water onto my leg. Then about 10 seconds later, I popped my tail. Then I looked up to Alexis and Cerena, and saw them stare at shock, at what they were seeing. When Cerena was able to come up with words, she started to talk.
"How is this possible?" she said
" I think it has something to do with the pool on that island from last night." I said "Remember when I asked you if you had felt strange last night, while in the pool?"
"You think that's what made this happen?" asked Alexis
"Yeah, and I think you two are also mermaids." I said
"Well, let's take a look and see." said Cerena
So Cerena walked over to the sink, and when Alexis walked over, she splashed herself and Alexis, and 10 seconds later, they ended up falling on the tile flooring, as their tails appeared.
" I knew it!" I said.
"Ok, this is freaky!" said Alexis
"I know! Here, catch." I said as I passed a towel to Alexis and Cerena, then we all dried ourselves off, and then our legs reappeared.
We stood up, and then I started to talk.
"Well, now that we know about this, we need to be very careful around water, because we don't want our tails to pop, when we out somewhere, especially if there are people there." I said
"Agreed!" said Alexis and Cerena
I then led them out of the bathroom to my bedroom, and we sat on my bed.
"Don't you think we should, at least tell someone, I mean it would be easier if someone knew, like our parents-" Cerena said before I interrupted her.
"No Cerena, we can't risk having our secret blown, we could end up being science experiments, or something."
"Yeah, I see your point.." she said. " Ok, I promise I won't tell anyone."
"So do I." said Alexis.
"Ok, agreed." I said
