His hand brushed her cheek before she pulled back. "That's not fair." He chuckled, poking her nose playfully. A big grin washed his face, and he bit his lip as he watched her. Sinking down to where his nose was just barely above the water, he connected his gaze with her's. His hand reached out, playing with his fingers tauntingly before laying on his back and swimming away.

She smiled, following slowly after him under the water. She looked up at him, her eyes bright and happy as she watched him. She couldn't remember ever being so happy, even if she had never really been miserable. "Cameron." She sang, wondering if her voice would carry to the surface. She reached up, running her finger down his back.

[cameron james smith]

He closed his eyes, moving his arms slowly to stay afloat and to keep moving. It wasn't until' Elaine ran her finger down her back that he moved with quickness. He almost hit his head on the pool edge, but stopped when he saw Elaine's tail. He laughed, sticking his tongue out playfully. "That tickled!" Cameron complained with a smile on his face.

[elaine mave o'carroll]

She smiled up at him, sinking all the way to the bottom despite this being the deeper end of the pool. She hummed, looking at him through the water. She could hear her heart pounding in her ears, her stomach in knots just watching him.

[cameron james smith]

Cameron dove under the water, pushing his way down beside her. He circled a couple times, a small smile passed over his lips. He moved close, tilting her chin with his finger before pressing his lips against her's in a quick kiss. 'Got you,' He mouthed as he pulled back, his eyes searching her face.

[elaine mave o'carroll]

She kissed him gently, reaching over for his hand. She pulled it close, holding it in between her's. She kissed him gently, pulling him up to the surface again. She pulled away, taking in a deep breath as she looked over at him. She realized it was getting really dark now, the only real light they had was the moon. "You're really handsome in the moonlight.."

[cameron james smith]

Cameron met the kiss, his hand brushing against her cheek as the resurface. A small chuckle escaped past his lips, and a sly grin crossed his face. "You're gorgeous in any light." His fingers pushed her hair from his face, enjoying that moment. The chilly air was starting to get to him, and he sank to where his shoulders were covered in water. "Even with a fin, you're gorgeous."

[elaine mave o'carroll]

She smiled, ducking under the water again. She swam around him, popping up behind him. She laid her head gently on his shoulder, wrapping her arms around him. "You ready to get out? My fin has to dry before I get legs again."

[cameron james smith]

He leaned his head against her's as she popped up behind him. "Sure," He almost whispered. Cameron managed to turned around in her arms, kissing her forehead softly. His hands went to her waist as he moved closer to the edge of the pool. He lifted her up, and sat her down on the edge of the pool, her fin still in the water some. Cameron pulled himself up beside her, and licked his lips. "Hey, look. There's the big dipper," He pointed as his eyes scanned over the sky.

[elaine mave o'carroll]

She pulled her fin up beside her, looking up at the sky. She followed his gaze, smiling up at the sky. "Sure is." She said, pointing to another one. "And Orion's Belt." She reached over for a towel, draping it over herself before she started to dry off her fin. She could feel her fin slowly splitting in two until she had two legs instead of one fin. She draped the towel over her lap, looking up at the sky again.

[cameron james smith]

Cameron chuckled, and reached over to grab the yellow skirt she had folded. "All I know how to find is the big and little dipper." He smirked, holding out the skirt. "What's it feel like when your legs morph into a fin? Does it hurt?" But his eyes were back up to the sky, smiling softly at all the stars. There were so many. Once, he tried to count them all. He got up to twenty before he gave up, unsure if he had already counted one or not.

[elaine mave o'carroll]

"Uh.. You don't really feel it.. It starts at like your hips and goes to your feet. But you feel when your fin splits." She pulled the skirt on under the towel before she folded the towel and laid back with her head on it. She drew her knee up, looking over the sky. "I could never find many things in the stars."

[cameron james smith]

Cameron moved around so he could lay his head on Elaine's stomach. His hand moved to cover his mouth as a yawn slipped out. "Aren't the stars pretty, though? I like being out at night more than during the day." He turned his head slightly to look up at her before turning back to stare up at the sky.

[elaine mave o'carroll]

"The stars are beautiful." She said, gently running her fingers through his hair. She looked down at him, gently moving his hair this way and that before she ran her fingers gently down his jaw. "But you're far nicer to look at." She said with a smile, resting her hand on his chest.

[cameron james smith]

"You're not too bad yourself," He teased, poking her arm playfully as she rested her hand on his chest. Cameron was quite happy, even if the concrete was hard and scratchy. "Prettiest fish I've ever seen." He chuckled, pulling his legs up so his back was the only thing against the ground. He walked his fingers across her hand, up her arm and then back down before interlacing them together.
