Well, I don't have any new anonymous reviews, but I had interesting new reviews. Either way, both of you did figure out what happened to Danny. Now one of them had the um... very wrong concept, but the second conception was basically correct. Anyway, review please!
Danny and Sam both slept on the dry sandy part of the beach. The tide had slowed down compared to last night. Sam's head was using Danny's chest as a pillow while Danny had his arm around the love of his life. The sun was behind the cave, so a shadow was cast over the two love birds. While the teenagers were sleeping, they were both smiling happily.
Sam started waking up when she felt something slimy and scaly was touching her legs. She opened her eyes and realized it was daytime and she had not turned into suds. This surprised Sam, but that didn't surprise her as much as what she saw next to her. Danny was sleepy obviously, but his legs were now a tail and his pants were gone. Danny was now a merman.
Sam gasped as she jumped over to the wall of the cave next to her and Danny. She looked at the ocean, and then at the sun. She went over to Danny and started shaking him.
"Danny, wake up," Sam said quietly to not draw attention.
"Not now Sam, just five more minutes," Danny moaned as Sam started showing a glare.
"That's it," Sam glared as she took Danny's tail and started dragging Danny toward the water. It took only a few seconds for the crabby teenager to wake up.
"Oh my gosh, ok. I'm awake now, ugh!" Danny complained while rubbing the sand off the back of his hair. It took him another second to realize something wasn't right. "Wait, Sam, how did..." then he saw the tail. "I, I, I'm a fish!"
"Danny, we don't have time to freak out. If you don't go into the water, the sun will cook you alive."
"You have a point," Danny agreed as he started using his arms to reach the water. "Ugh man! I never did like gym."
Danny started pulling himself and using his tail to push his body over to the ocean. He slipped on his front before Tucker came to the beach, saw Danny, and then dropped his soda. The soft drink spilled all over the sand and Tucker's jaw dropped wide open.
"Sam, does Danny have a tail?" Tucker asked me.
"Yes," Sam answered with a glare before grabbing Danny's upper body. "Now will you help me get him to the ocean before Danny gets dehydrated?"
Tucker nodded his head and lifted up Danny's tail. Sam and Tucker carried their merman friend over to the ocean before dropping him with a slash. Danny was in shallow water, so he was sitting on his butt with the water going up to his elbows.
"Thanks for the landing guys," Danny said sarcastically. "Now to figure out why the heck I'm a fish."
"Well, you did say you always wanted to be a mermaid," Sam shrugged with a small chuckle.
"Wow, that solves the mystery how I became a merman. Seriously Sam, I want to know exactly why I turned into a merman."
"I would've said fish, but merman works just as well," Tucker shrugged as Danny and Sam sighed.
"If people see me like this, I'll turn into a circus prop. How about we solve this mystery in the cave. Tucker, you come along and Sam, you explain to him everything," Danny told his friends before jumping into the deeper part of the ocean and swimming down to the hole of the cave. He decided since he was a fish, he had gills and he could figure out for himself how to swim.
"What did he mean by explaining to me everything?" Tucker asked Sam.
"It's a long story, but I'll tell you on the way into the cave. I just need to ask you to keep it between you, Danny, and I, this doesn't leave the cave," Sam warned Tucker.
"Well ok, but you know I'd never turn Danny in for people to do experiments on."
"That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the other mermaids besides Danny."
"There's more than one?"
"Just promise not to let whatever I tell you leave the cave."
"Ok, ok, I promise," Tucker said while putting his hands up in defense. The two teenagers walked into the cave and Sam told Tucker about the mermaids and how she became a human.
Meanwhile, inside the cave, Jack and Maddie were looking for clues to their mermaid mystery. They were so busy trying to find their mermaid friend that they didn't even realize their son had not returned home. Jack discovered that the towel him and his wife found was gone and there were no more clues. Jack and Maddie did do tests yesterday to find mermaid DNA. Surprisingly, they found both human and mermaid DNA. Maddie suspected that maybe mermaids could turn human while Jack thought it might've been a trick.
While the married couple were trying to find more clues, they heard a sound from inside the cave. It was their daughter Jazz.
"Mom! Dad!" Jazz screamed with tears coming out of her eyes. Jack and Maddie were startled by this and looked at their daughter. They saw their son's ripped pants soaked as if something tore it up. "I found these in the ocean by the cave! I think Danny's dead!"
"Oh my gosh! My baby!" Maddie wailed before she heard something coming from the pool inside the cave. It was a head with the towel on itself. He had a human body and a tail. Jazz started screaming before the hand of the body grabbed the towel off its head to show a wet Danny who was disgusted.
"Aw yuck. I can't believe Sam threw this in the water," Danny said before seeing his folks. "Uh, I can explain."
Jazz fainted as Jack caught her before his daughter fell onto the hard cave floor. Sam and Tucker entered the cave talking about something.
"So, you were a mermaid and had a sea witch turned you into a human?" Tucker asked.
"Yep and it was supposed to be three days. I already know why I'm still human. It probably had a lot to do with me kissing Danny last night and all, but I still am not sure why he turned into a mermaid. That's what we're about to find out," Sam explained before finding out that Jack, Maddie, and a fainted Jazz were inside the cave. "Uh, hi guys."
"I want to know exactly what in the world is going on here!" Jack glared while crossing his arms.
"Dad, I really have no idea how I turned into a merman," Danny told his dad.
"Not that! I mean the part of Sam once being a mermaid."
The teens gave each other glances, and then Sam sighed. She decided that if there was anybody to blame for the mess, it was her and if there was anybody to explain anything, it was her. Sam went up to Jack and started telling him the whole truth.
"I was a mermaid, but I went to the sea witch Desiree to change me human, but on a few conditions. I had to kiss my true love within three days and make sure he keeps his love. If not, I'd turn into suds. I thought at first it was Elliot, but I guess it was Danny. We kissed last night and now I'm a human, but he's a merman. We're trying to figure out how that happened."
"Sam, it has to be something Desiree said. She always was tricky with her words. Remember what she did when you asked her for a pet?" Danny said smartly.
"A pet?" Tucker questioned. "What'd that woman do?"
"I asked for my own sea horse and she gave me a real live horse," Sam explained in boredom. Tucker's eyes widened and Danny nodded.
"Ugh, wa, I had the weirdest dream ever. I dreamed that..." Jazz moaned, and then saw Danny as a merman again.
"I was a merman? Yeah, I think we all agreed already that it was real after you fainted," Danny said in annoyance.
"We're still not sure how you ended up being fish boy," Tucker mentioned.
"Alright, Desiree said specifically, in her own words, that the boy will fall deeply in love with me..." Sam started before Danny interrupted.
"Wait a sec. You mean that witch put a love spell on me?" Danny glared. "That stinkin' witch has been planning everything this whole time!"
"Danny, I'm not done," Sam glared
"Oh, sorry," Danny apologized.
"Anyways, it was up to me to make sure he keeps that love for me. I have to kiss him within three days. If I do not perform the kiss, I will turn into suds and if he falls in love with another girl, I will turn into suds," Sam finished her sentence.
"Well, that helps," Danny said sarcastically. "There has to be something else she said. What else did she say?"
"Let me see here," Sam said trying to remember Desiree's words. "I will find the one who brought me to the witch's cave. He will fall deeply in love with me and only by one true kiss will I trade my fins for legs... fins for legs THAT'S IT! That witch tricked me!"
"Ha! I knew it!" Jack shouted excitedly before changing his expression to a confusing one. "Wait, what did you just find out?"
"The witch never gave me new legs. She used her spell to trade my tail for Danny's legs, so technically, he has my fins and he has my legs," Sam explained.
"Ok, that just sounds gross," Tucker snickered grossly.
"That also means we need to find a way to fix this or I will never see land again," Danny said sadly while looking at his tail one last time.
