Shock And Awe

At this news Lia goes into an almost trance like state of shock for several moments.

Finally after several moments Lia snaps out of it and asks in a nervous fearful voice :

“What does all of this mean for me ? Please tell me that you at least have an idea for how to make me my old self again ?”

The next thing Lia hears rocks her world once again :

“We’re sorry to be the ones to tell you this Miss Johnson , but when we ran some initial tests on you we discovered something you should know. Despite the fact you grew up as a fully human girl you were in fact born a mermaid.”

Lia immediately replies :

“What do you mean ?”

To which the voice replies

“Allow us to explain. We also contacted your parents and they gave us the answer to why this suddenly happened to you now. You believe you were born in Hawaii and that’s only partially true. Here’s the real truth : About twenty years ago your mom and dad were walking along an isolated stretch of beach when they suddenly heard the sound of a baby crying. After a few moments they came across a seemingly abandoned baby girl laying on the beach near the water’s edge. Not knowing what else to do your parents took the baby girl home to raise as their own. As I’m sure you’ve figured out by now that baby was you. We can only assume that you were left on the beach magically transformed to pass as an ordinary human.”
