Joan proceeded to carefully propel herself around the ocean floor as she explored her current surroundings. She continuously glanced behind her back and generally kept tabs on her surroundings. She knew that Nicole made precautionary wishes to protect her, but Joan was still more than a little unnerved by her alien surroundings.
"I've watched the Discovery Channel enough to know that ocean wildlife can be more than a little dangerous. I could end up being a shark's lunch, stung by a deadly box jellyfish, impaled by a stingray, bitten by a sea snake... or I could avoid all of the sea creatures and just be turned into chum by a passing boat's propellor blade. Hopefully Nicole's protection wishes will keep me safe until four o'clock."
Sudden movement to the right caught Joan's attention. She whirled her head around in time to see the silhouette of a strangely shaped creature duck behind a large coral reef.
"What was that," wondered Joan, "It's too big to be a regular fish, but it didn't look like a shark."
The shadowy creature quickly darted to another reef. Fearing that she was being hunted, Joan nervously swished her tail around to backtrack out of the enclosed reef area.
Joan could see the general shape of a fish-tailed creature out of the corner of her eye as she desperately tried to swim as fast as she could. Joan swimmed at an impressive rate, far faster than she could as a human, but she could still feel the presence of the creature closing in on her with her "fish sense".
Joan panicked and wailed as the creature grabbed her from behind. She thrashed violently about and screamed as loud as she could underwater to try and scare off the creature. But Joan's scream soon turned into a girlish giggle until it finally erupted into full blown laugther. The creature behind her wasn't attacking her, it was tickling her. The creature tickled her so hard that her sea shell bra fell off, leaving her plump breast totally exposed. This only made Joan laugh even harder.
Joan eventually broke loose and turned around to see what the playful creature wanted. She was startled when she saw the face of a male teenager. She looked down to see that he also had a dark blue fish tail. Joan realized that a real life merman was standing in front of her. She wondered if this was a part of Nicole's wish or was the guy in front of her the real deal.
The merman twirled Joan's sea shell bra around his finger while focusing his gaze on Joan's chest.
Joan felt more than a little uneasy in the presence of this merman that was checking her out. She almost wished that it was a shark following her.
"Sooooo..." said the merman with a lustful look in his eyes.
