Dinner was spaghetti, salad, bread and water all in courtesy of Barber. For someone that lives in the desert it was one hell of a meal, beat Ramen Noodles (which we've been eating for a while in the RV) any day of the week. "Save room for dessert, I've made mint gelato earlier in the today before B sent her S.O. S.," said Barber, like Beatrice she amazed me.

"How can you make gelato in the middle of the desert?" I asked curiously. Barber pointed at the woman next to me munching on a piece of baguette. That's when Barber told her story. "If I didn't rescue Miss McGyver out of the Harbor I think I wouldn't be able to be alive," said Barber.

"Rescue?"

"I was really, really drunk and not fit to swim while naked," said Beatrice, I couldn't help but laugh at the idea of a totally wasted Bea rolling in the water. The laughter was very contagious when the two ladies joined me. "My God," giggled Beatrice, "It's a blur but I think I was singing."

"Yeah, it was Under the Sea and it took me a while to notice you had a tail and the funny thing was….she….she said, 'I have a tail?'" For a minute or so we were laughing so hard it was hard to breath. By the time he got the laughter out of our system Barber was able to continue. "When she sobered up and her tail disappeared we told each other about our lives about her being a Siren and me as an actress then later on she became my roommate for a good two years before the comet arrived.

"While we lived together she taught me how to make and manufacture things while I gave her free tickets to plays I've been. Once I've played the male lead as Sweeney Todd hence the name Barber."

"Really? How did you get the part?"

"It was by accident actually. I was suppose to play Mrs. Lovett but the lead actually sick and in desperate need of a replacement. I being experienced in crossdressing for Peter Pan I decided to take over and the show was a hit!"

"No wonder Lucy didn't want Judge Turpin," said Beatrice, "She loved the girls!" An hour it was like this and it was wonderful to be around others at a table. It's been such a long time since I've been a little closer to family. When Barber left to get the gelato Beatrice dragged me out of the chair leading me into another room with red furniture with a rug with the same color.

"Roll the rug up," she said once I rolled the rug up I caught her wearing nothing but a red bra.

"Um….Bea, I think it's not the right time."

"No, it's not that," she said, pushing a button on the wall then the floor opened up to a pool. "Besides the Lotus Garden I haven't been in water for a while, if you haven't noticed yet I love swimming in water." I watched her dive into the water, her legs become a tail of red and black in just a second. She reemerged to were I was standing. "Come on in, the water's fine here," she said, tugging the hem of my pants then went under water. Feeling eager I quickly stripped down to my underwear and join her at the bottom.

She wrapped her arms around my neck our lips joining. We went up to the surface with our lips locked this way. "We can fool around a little before she comes over," I said my hand slipping under her bra, she gave a little sigh of pleasure as in pinched her nipple lightly. As I was about to unhook her bra I felt a slight opening against my crotch. Was this her opening?

"Bea?"

"Yeah?" she asked while her hand was rubbing my member up and down.

"Are you horny?"

"No I'm just churning the butter," she said jokingly, "Yes, I'm horny, why do you ask?" Without saying anything I inserted my finger in the hole in question. The way Beatrice backed away from me I knew were that hole was. The look of fear on her face I thought I violated her. For a moments of silence I began apologizing.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it. If you want me to I'll-" She grabbed unto my arm as I was about to get out, there was still fear in her face not of shock but of embarrassment.

"Do you….want to see it?" she asked nervously. When she asked that question I was a little nervous myself. What does a mermaid's vagina look like? Feeling scared and curious to answer that question I nodded my head in a yes. Beatrice crawled out of the pool then showed herself to me. I'll tell you it was strange yet she was very beautiful. Her opening was like a flower of folds of pink, red, and purple with a light pink pearl as her clit.

"Wow," I whispered.

"Wow as in 'that's disgusting' or 'that's beautiful'?" she asked, I can hear the embarrassment in her voice.

"Oh you're beautiful," I said with my hands on her hips. With a flick of the tongue I felt her shudder with pleasure. Her fingers curled into my white hair begging me to continue. I thrust my tongue inside her with my vibrating thumb on her pearl. "Oh God it works," she moaned, I smiled at what she meant. I watched her unloosen her bra throwing it to the other side of the room squeezing her own breasts. Seeing her this way I couldn't take it anymore.

When I stopped she was about to protest when I kissed her lips. I took the towel from the side of the couch drying her off. Once her tail became two legs I dragged her to the couch with my underwear off. "Oh God I want you so much!" I said.

"Damn I want you too!" she said and it wasn't Beatrice but Barber. She was standing in the next room with three plates of gelato and a smile on her face. Feeling embarrassed I grabbed the towel on the floor hiding myself even though by the grin on her face she liked what she saw.

" B you know how to pick em very well," said Barber, the grin becoming a smile.
