From afar, yes

Keisha felt Melissa’s worry, the high probability of not being able to return to the life she knew. She wanted to help, but had no idea.

Their thoughts fell on what had just occurred between them, making them blush, but mostly think of a solution.

Mel thought back to when she had shrunk her tentacle , hardening it a bit to fuck her own cunt.

She got an idea.

“Keisha, I might have an idea. But we need a place in land with no people.”

“Thats good. Hmmm…” she looked around, spotting a bunch of large boulders about half a mile along the coast, void of civilization.

She pointed at it. “There!”

Mel saw it, and agreed. “Let’s see how fast I can go.”

The scylla slung a tentacle around Keisha’s waist, and instinctively swam in that direction.

Both girls were surprised at the speed. Yet, Mel knew she could go a bit faster. She didn’t, though, just enjoying how amazing the ocean felt to her.

They arrived faster than some boats would.

Mel carefully put down Keisha on a nearby large rock, impressed by her new strength.

She then pulled herself onto the big rock, figuring out how to move on land.

It felt way different than being in the water, but it wasn’t somehow impossible, how she had feared.

Now both girls had a clear view of how the new Mel looked like.

Her waist was still the same, and so was the upper part of her ass. Towards the thigh, each old leg began to split into four, roughly 7 foot tentacles. They were her skin color, which Melissa was glad to see. She still had her bikini on, and from one side, a pinkish tentaclit about 4 feet in length sticking out.

“So, what was your idea?” The normal girl said.

Mel decided to show, not tell.

Her tentacles retracted, shortening. After all, if they could stretch, they could do the opposite.

Slowly but surely, they shrank, not only in length, bit diameter.

Mel was focusing hard, and Keisha watched on in awe.

In the end, they all shrunk to 3 feet in length, and rather thin!

The clit was now ‘only’ a foot long, too!

If this should be physically possible was another question, but one that wouldn’t be answered anytime soon.

Mel released her breath she had been subconsciously holding. She moved the tentacles a bit, feeling them to be more stiff.

She was somewhat happy with the result, but in the end, she still had tentacles for legs.

Keisha was amazed. As she had been observing the whole thing, an idea popped into her mind.

The tentacles looked the right size for it.

“Mel, you know how amputees have phantom pain in their lost limbs? Do you have some kind of thing like that?”

The scylla tried feeling for anything, but wasn’t successful. She shook her head.

“You do remember how your legs felt like, right?”

“Yeah…” Mel answered, pondering.

“How about you put four and four of them together, and try moving them like you used to move your legs?” Keisha proposed.

Melissa liked the idea, and immediately got to work.

She put four arms together each, and they had a slight resemblance to legs. Then she closed her eyes, imagining her legs were still there, how she could bend her knees, move her ankles, move her toes. How far her knees could bend, the angles her feet were able to bend too, and how she used to walk.

After, she was doing so, just a few hours ago.

Something like a switch clicked in her mind.

“Holy shit, it works!” Keisha exclaimed happily.

Mel opened her eyes, stunned to see the view in front of her.

The tentacles had taken the approximate shape and length of her old legs, but if you were close, you could tell that the legs were made from 4 different parts. She also had four toes only, where you could still tell they were tentacles.

The suckers were facing into the leg, and at the sole of her feet.

“Oh my goodness, thank god.” Mel sighed loudly in relief, moving her legs a bit.

They still felt very different, but there was a similarity with her old legs.

She ran a hand over them. They were still a bit slimy, but not as much.

Without her noticing, tears of joy ran down her cheeks.

Keisha hugged her deeply, truly relieved for her friend.

They stayed like this for a minute before parting again.

Mel then looked at her clit that was out in the open, still, and sighed.

“I’ll just hide you in a pant leg or something.”

“Yeah, seems squishy enough.” Keisha agreed.

The girls then headed back, walking along the beach, holding hands. Both were processing recent events.

“Do you know what caused you to change? Was it the lab explosion?” Keisha asked curiously.

Mel thought about her answer.

“It might be, but maybe it’s something else. Earlier today, I went by Claire’s. Both her and her sister seemed a bit different, and had warned me not to consume something that was all over their bathroom. But… i accidentally swallowed it…” the scylla answered, embarrassed. If her theory was correct, she was to blame for her new predicament.

“Ohh, shit.” Keisha answered. “You think they have tentacles too?”

“Nah, their legs looked normal. But both their tits grew.”

“Only that?”

“I don’t think so. Claire wouldn’t hug me no matter what, which is incredibly suspicious in hindsight. She’d usually hug me if she was on deaths bed.” Mel contemplated.

“Damn. Maybe she grew a huge cock?” Keisha half-jokingly proposed.

Mel had to laugh a bit.

“No way-“ she stopped, thinking how she had just grown huge tentacles. “Actually, anything is possible at this point. I’ll visit them tomorrow.”

By then, the ladies had reached their things. Some of their friends were still partying, but most were gone.

“Can I wear your leggings?” Mel asked, insecure about her abnormal legs.

“Sure, keep ‘em. I’ll take this, then.” Keisha answered kindly, picking up the the miniskirt from Melissa. It was a bit tight for her, but it was fine.

Tiredly, after saying goodbye with a little kiss, both went home to rest.
