Uh, guys? I went down to the Wilderness, just to see if there was something new down there yet (I took the dogs with me, Knight and Red).

Oh, there's something new alright. I went down there and got turned into a fish-person in a shell bikini top!

...You turned into a fish?

[kleptomonkey]

Yeah, and I'm lost and got this blowfish singing at me! The dogs are liking it too.

Help me?

[ihavetwodads]

Oh, sure! I'll be down there in a second. This is gonna be awesome.

Hurry!

[She's laying on a giant rock, the dogs swimming nearby while a crazy chorus of flounder sing something about fins. Her orange fish tail starts swishing back and forth impatiently]

Red~ Where are you~?

[Red came down as soon as he could, keeping the fact that Dani was lost down there in his mind, but he also couldn't want to see what he turned into. As soon as the elevator opened, he found himself immersed in water. Of course, he naturally tried holding his breath, but once he couldn't hold it any longer...]

...Hey, I can breathe!

[And that's when Red noticed that his shirt had disappeared, and he had a fish's tail. It was dark orange with black and white stripes... He wasn't sure what it was, but it looked really cool. He couldn't help but perform a couple of flips before he swam on to find Dani, still trying to get the hang of this.]

Dani! Dani, where are you?

[kleptomonkey]

[Oh, good, that must be him. Dani swam away from the rock and towards Red's voice.]

I'm over here with the dogs!

quicklog~

[ihavetwodads]

Dani, hey!

[Red swam closer to where heard Dani's voice, only to come face to face with Little Bro.]

Hey boy! You changed too... That's so cool!

[He scratches behind the dog's ears, and then follows her lead as she leads him over to Dani.]

There you are!

quicklog~

[kleptomonkey]

Oh, my savior! Hiya!

[She looks at his fishy body]

Nice tail.

quicklog~

[ihavetwodads]

Heh, thanks! [Red gives a back flip, although he's still new at this, so he ends up not quite getting it and is thus upside down. Still, he grins and grins and turns to face her, upside down and all.]

Your tail looks pretty nice, too. I'm not sure what kind of fishes we are... but this is still awesome!

quicklog~

[kleptomonkey]

Totally! Oh, how's your stomach?

[She pulls him right side up and drags him away from the singing fish. The dogs follow]

quicklog~

[ihavetwodads]

Getting better. It's still a little achy, but I'll live.

[He'll follow along, meanwhile trying to get his tail to work right.] You're pretty good at swimming, Dani.

quicklog~

[kleptomonkey]

That's good.

[She spins around and swims backwards, facing Red] Y'think so? I don't really get it, but I feel like swimming's a second nature!

quicklog~

[ihavetwodads]

Well, maybe you were a swimmer in your past. [He grins as he faces her, tail moving lightly to keep himself level.] I'm pretty good, but I can't do stuff like that.

quicklog~

[kleptomonkey]

[Dani shows off some more, trying flips and spins until finally, she gets her tail stuck between two rocks]

Oh, fudge. Help?

quicklog~

[ihavetwodads]

No problem.

[Red moves to one of the rocks and pulls at it, although it's hard to move things underwater. Suddenly, the gem on the back of his left hand begins to glow, and then he pulls the rocks away despite how big it may be.]

[kleptomonkey]

[She's free, but she's staring at Red's hand]

Thanks, but what was that glow?
