The beach was beautiful, with crystal clear blue water. Shells dotted the white sand, and a selection of surfboards were lying back aways.

Elka stopped and dug around in her large beach bag. "Aha!" She said a few minutes later, holding up a small bottle.

"What's that?" Zackary asked.

"You'll see." Said Elka mysteriously. She dug around in her bag again, pulled out her towel, and laid it out in the sand. She left her bag on her towel, still carrying the bottle.

Zack tested the water with his feet, and found it to be pleasently warm. He waded out until it was above his waist, with Elka following. He watched Elka open the bottle and sprinkle some slimy green bits on her head. She moved towards him, and he backed away. "What is it?"

Elka smiled cheekily. "Come on, do you trust me?"

"Of course!" Zack said quickly, and allowed her to sprinkle the bits on his head.

"Now dive into the water!" Elka ordered, doing so.

Zack did, and he felt his legs stick together. "Ack! What's happening?" He yelled, breathing hard. Wait. Breathing? Zack took another experimental breath. "Hey, I can breathe underwater!" He yelled, looking down at his feet. Instead of legs, a stormy blue tail with yellow patterns that looked like lightning bolts swished in the water.

"Cool, right? Erin gave it to me when we went to Mirror Beach. Remember?" Elka said.

Immediatly all sorts of unpleasent memories of that day came rushing back to him, and he hurried to supress them. He looked over at Elka to see what she looked like.

Elka seemed to have also been hit with a wave of bad memories, and her face was grim. But her tail was a beautiful ice blue, with darker blue patterns. At certain points, the colors mixed, creating a shade that matched her eyes exactly. Elka shook her head suddenly, and swam into deeper water.

Zack followed the best he could, trying out different tail movements to find out which was faster. As the water got deeper, it also got colder, and he shivered a bit.
