Part Of Your World
Ariel burst through the water. Something inside her burned as she gasped in air. It took a second for the world to orient itself, and once her mind was free from vertigo she whipped her head around to look for her friend. Thumbelina was just a few waves away, struggling to stay above the water.
Ariel tried to swim to her, but moving in the water was so different without a tail. Suddenly Flounder was under one arm, giving her the help she needed. She managed to grab Thumbelina just as she slipped under the surface. Together they made it to shore.

Everything was different. Air felt so odd and light on her skin.
But it was brilliant: the grit of the sand on her skin, the burning of her lungs, the way she could wiggle the little digits at the end of her feet. It felt amazing. Perfect.
Ariel's eyes were as bright as pearls as they looked at her human body. Human body. The thought felt so right in her head.
She covered her... what were they called? Oh yes, toes. She covered her toes with her fingers, just to feel them move freely. Suddenly everything in the world was brilliant, shining with wonder. She couldn't contain giggles as her moved her hands up, cupping her knees - her bending knees! - and suddenly it was too much.
The fact that she was not alone became aware to her once again, and she quickly crawled - Crawled. Wasn't it amazing? - over to Thumbelina, who seemed to be struck into stupor.
"I'm big. I'm normal-sized," the other girl whispered to herself, and Ariel eagerly kneeled in front of her.
"We have toes," she grinned, grabbing the other girls feet and then staring at her own with wonder.
Ariel looked at the other girl's long legs and was struck with a longing she didn't quite understand. She let her fingers drift upward, spending a few moments massaging her ankles. Every little part of the human body seemed mesmerizing. Ariel marveled over the other's limbs and her fingers crawled higher. They crawled up the knee, slid across her thighs.
"Amazing," the now-human breathed with wonder, her fingers slowly creeping up Thumbelina's thighs to greet the place where the legs met the rest of the body.
Thumbelina abruptly came out of her awe. "Ariel!"
But Ariel’s curious hands had already met the place. They cupped Thumbelina’s vulva, fingers traced the sensitive skin.
"Ariel!" she exclaimed, but as finger abruptly slid inside Thumbelina found herself without words as she began to thrust up against her fingers.
Ariel looked up through her eyelashes. Thumbelina's cheeks were reddened, coral-colored hair stuck to her wet shoulders and her eyes closed tight as Ariel fingers explored inside of her.
Humans were beautiful.
