[Tohru had wandered out to go for a walk on the beach. It seemed like a good idea, and there's so much more of it now! It's really amazing how Wonderland could do things like that.
But when she gets there, she looks curiously at the dock, and the boots there. They seem familiar, but she can't quite place who they belong to. They belong to somebody though, and she looks around...but, there doesn't seem to be anyone around. Or at least, no one that Tohru can see.
She waits a minute to see if anyone comes up, but nothing happens. Naturally, she starts to wonder if someone's drowned.]
...Hello? Excuse me? Is...is someone here? Are you o-
[As she's calling out, the waves roll up over her shoes, getting her socks soaking wet, and that's all it takes. Her legs feel strange and she is immediately unsteady. She flails, trying really hard not to fall, but she pitches forward anyway and lands in the water with a rough splash. She pushes herself up on her palms and gasps for air (she's never really been the best swimmer). Unfortunately she still can't seem to get up, so she flips herself over instead and...
...and there's a pink fin where her legs should be. She's shocked, but she takes a second to test it carefully, lifting her new tail fin up and down. There's something amazing about it, even if she would much rather have her legs.
It's when she reaches out to touch them that she realizes her shirt is gone though, and that she only has a standard (though very pink) mermaid top on. And that is what makes her shriek loudly, scoot backwards, and seek deeper water. That way, no one will be able to see that she's not fully dressed anymore and she can try to just hide in her embarrassment (even though she's made as much noise as someone could possibly make while turning into a fish).]
