Adventure in Sea World

“We made it! At last we made it!” Hannah laughed, standing beside the car. Cliff stepped out and looked around.
“Yup, welcome to Sea World.” Cliff grinned.
“Yet another place I’ve never had the chance to visit.” Hannah sighed. “It’s been almost a year since our trip to Disney…it’s nice to finally get to see the ‘Diet Disney’ theme parks.” Hannah then trembled and jumped a little.
“What’s gotten into you?” Cliff asked.
“Nothing just…just…GOD I’M SO EXCITED!” Hannah squealed. “I wanna see everything!”
“Well standing around here won’t get us in there any faster.” Cliff smirked. He started walking toward the park when suddenly Hannah grabbed Cliff’s shoulder and yanked him backwards. She gave him a stern look and sighed.
“Oh Cliff…you forgot already, didn’t you?”
“Forgot what?” Cliff asked, confused. Hannah laughed and pulled out the pensword from the back of the car. Cliff jumped away in horror. “WHERE DID YOU GET THAT!?”
“I brought it with us when we left! We need it.”
“What for?” Cliff demanded.
“Well Cliff, if you’ll remember, Cliff and Hannah never went to Disney World…Claire and Hayden did! So it only makes sense that Claire and Hayden go to the other parks too!” Hannah said with a wicked smile on her face.
“LIKE HELL!” Cliff charged Hannah to knock the sword out of her hand, but Hannah reacted quickly and the resulting slash affected both her and Cliff. There was a blinding flash of light as Cliff and Hannah were both thrown backwards away from each other by the force of the blade.

Hayden stood up rubbing his head. He gasped when he felt his now shorter hair. He rubbed his cheeks to feel a small bit of stubble growing on his cheeks and chin. His body was now strong, tall, and toned, and he had more defined muscles. His clothes were now fitted for a male rather than a female, and he blushed when he felt his new package.
“You know, I can honestly say I kinda missed this form. I forgot how strong I am as a guy!” Hayden looked over to where Cliff had fallen and was pleased to see that, instead of Cliff was Claire. She had gone through her own transformation and was now shorter, more petite and smooth. She blinked a moment, looked down at her new breasts and let out a squeal.
“ASSHOLE!”
“You called?” Hayden laughed.
“WHY!? JUST WHY!?” Claire demanded.
“Why not?” Hayden countered. “Look, it’s really not so bad. We’ll just spend a few days like this. It won’t hurt you and you might even enjoy it.”
“I thought we were done with this crap!” Claire growled.
“Not by a long shot. Now let’s head in, okay?” Hayden asked. Claire sighed and nodded.
“Fine fine…but I’m still mad at you.” Claire grumbled.
“You’ll get over it.” Hayden held out his arm for Claire to take and gave a wink. Claire shot him a glare but took his arm and walked with him to the entrance.

At the entrance was a great big light house and a large banner next to it announcing that they were entering Sea World. When they made it to the ticket booth, Claire suddenly looked to Hayden with sad and pleading eyes.
“Oh Hayden, I forgot my purse! Won’t you buy my ticket too?”
“Wha? What are you saying? You’re paying for yourself!” Hayden snapped. Claire placed her hands on her hips, making sure that the spectacle she was creating would be seen by everyone in line.
“And what kind of boyfriend doesn’t buy his girlfriends tickets on their date?” The gauntlet had been thrown down, and the look of triumph on Claire’s face was deliciously devious. Hayden tried his best to come up with an argument or a retort, but none came to mind. He grumbled and pulled out his own credit card and payed for both tickets, walking inside with Claire holding his arm, and leaning on him like a clingy girlfriend.
“You’re a real bitch, Claire.” Hayden hissed. “You’re not even a girl most of the time!”
“Exactly. You decided to change our genders for this, well I’m gonna make sure you suffer the consequences. And the guy ALWAYS pays for the lady. That’s the GENTELMAN thing to do.” Claire argued.
“And do I look like a gentleman to you!?” Hayden snapped.
“Nope, but you’ll just have to do.” Claire teased walking into the park with him. Hayden grumbled but soon his frustration faded with the sights and sounds he was taking in. There were three different pathways heading to different parts of the park. Hayden was smiling from ear to ear at the thought of what could be done first.
“So where to?” Hayden asked.
“Well there’s the roller coasters…but you’re NOT getting me on one of those again.”
“Oh stop being a baby.”
“And you stop being an ass.” Claire countered. Hayden shrugged and kept looking around. “There’s the Artic place where you can see penguins and polar bears and such…oh and there’s the dolphin nursery right over there and-EEP!” Claire suddenly felt Hayden grab her shoulders and spin her around to face him. His eyes were intense and he looked absolutely terrifying for a split moment.
“THEY. HAVE. BABY. DOLPHINS!?!” Hayden hissed.
“Y-eah?” Claire squeaked.
“WHERE!?!” Hayden roared. “I MUST SEE THEM!!!” Claire giggled and pointed down the right path to where the dolphin nursery was. Upon seeing it, Hayden let out a squeal that showed he had totally forgotten about being a big manly male. He couldn’t stop cooing and squealing over them.
“OH MY GOD, THEY’RE SO CUTE!! I WANNA SQUEEZE ONE!” Hayden gasped.
“Hayden, settle down!” Claire laughed. “Don’t forget, you’re a guy right now. You gotta maintain your dignity.” Hayden nodded and puffed out his chest, trying to salvage himself.
“Right…right. But…” Hayden took one look at a baby dolphin swimming near the surface and squeaking loudly. He melted. “IT’S SO CUTE!” Claire had to grab his arm and drag him away while people giggled and stared at Haydens girly behavior.
“You’re embarrassing.” Claire grumbled. “You’re a guy. Act like one.”
“But boys don’t ever get to have any fun!” Hayden muttered darkly. Claire paused a moment as Hayden walked past her.
“Hey, I resent that! I have fun!”
“If you say so.” Hayden shrugged.
“If you turn me back, I’ll prove it!” Claire laughed.
“Nice try…not until our vacation is over.” Hayden smirked. Claire groaned and gave up on her crusade to regain her masculinity. The two walked down the pathway, stopping only once at a restaurant to grab a burger. They walked into the Wild Artic building, and Hayden spent about 30 minutes just watching the penguins waddle around their aquarium. When they saw the polar bears, Claire giggled as one tackled another.
“What’s so funny about that?”
“It reminds me of me and my brother when we were arguing.” Claire laughed.
“You and your brother…tackled each other when you…argued?” Hayden asked.
“Yeah. Call it an odd form of affection. We fought sometimes, but nothing more than just slamming each other to the ground.” Claire explained.
“Whatever you say, Claire…whatever you say.” Hayden sighed.
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“I’m just glad I’m not a guy 365 days of the year…I don’t think I could take the weirdness.”
“Is this just gonna be a thing?” Claire asked. “Comparing gender differences?”
“I’m entertained, aren’t you?” The two laughed and continued on their way, but Claire made sure to steer Hayden away from all of the roller coasters. Hayden would laugh and tug towards it playfully, only to cause Claire to squeal and yank him away, with him laughing the whole way.

“Okay, now where to next?” Hayden asked.
“Well, if we go now we can see the pirate and mermaid show at the seal theater.” Claire offered.
“Is it any good?” Hayden asked.
“Well kinda. It’s more for little kids though. You have a guy dressed as a pirate and a girl dressed as a mermaid, and they perform with sea lions and stuff for the kids.” Claire said, rolling her eyes. “When I was little, I enjoyed it okay.” Hayden smiled and pat her shoulder.
“Well it’s all about becoming part of the experience.” Hayden said.
“I wish you wouldn’t phrase it like that.” Claire muttered. “Back at Disney, we constantly kept becoming ‘a part of the experiences.’”
“That was Disney magic, Claire.” Hayden laughed. “What do you think would effect us here? Sea World magic?”
“Yeah…I guess I’m overreacting.” Claire laughed.
“Of course…but that still begs the question…why do I feel so…” Suddenly the world around Hayden and Claire began to spin out of control colors became blurred and melded as if watching a flurry of rainbows meeting. Claire and Hayden both turned to look at each other and groaned.
“NOT AGAIN!”

Hayden opened his eyes to see that he was standing on a hard wooden surface. Although for some reason it felt like one eye had gone blind! He tapped his shoe against the deck to find that he was now wearing boots! Not only that but all of his clothes had changed. They were heavy, old, made of leather…and smelled strange. On top of his head was a pirate hat and over his eye was an eye patch (no wonder he was having a bit of trouble seeing). He stood up and walked around the odd deck. All around him was water and…stands?!
“Look! It’s the pirate, mommy!”
“Yes, it’s the pirate!”
All over the stands, people were shouting about the ‘pirate’ walking on deck. Hayden quickly put two and two together to realize where he was. He was now the pirate of the Pirate and Mermaid show with the Sea Lions. He could see the sea lions swimming around the giant circular tank below. It was a very unique set up actually. The pirate ship he was standing on was positioned on a small rock island with water on all sides as seals were swimming and barking as they circled the ship. The stands were on the other side of the water and it was loaded with children and parents! Hayden hopped onto the side of the ship and looked around.
“Claire?” He called. The audience fell silent to hear him better…and it was then he realized that they thought he was part of the performance. He quickly changed tactics. Best to play along! “Hey everybody! I’m Captain Hayden Patch! But you can just call me ‘Patch!’ Welcome to Sea World! Are you all having a good day today?!”
“Yes!” The audience called back.
“Oh that’s just sad. I said ARE YOU HAVING A GOOD DAY TODAY?!”
“YEEES!”
“Now that’s better!” Hayden laughed. Suddenly there was a slight shift in the water. Hayden turned to look and a big grin grew across his face. He now knew what had happened to Claire…and this was going to be too sweet. “Alright everybody, I seem to be missing my friend Claire! Now Claire is kinda…special. She happens to be a mermaid!” The children all oooed and awwwed over the sound of that. “But I just can’t seem to find her! Maybe you kids can help me? Just shout out her name with me okay? 1…2…3! CLAIRE!” On the word Claire, everyone shouted the name. Hayden then turned to look at the figure swimming beneath the surface. He could practically FEEL the frustration coming from her, but there was no way she’d stay below after all this.
At long last, Claire burst from the water and landed on the rock near the ship. She was naked apart from some fishnet wrapped around her chest. There was a starfish in her long brown hair, but it was her new green fish tail that was most impressive as it was easily longer than her own torso. She looked up and forced a smile.
“Here she is everyone! Everyone say hi to Claire!” Hayden called. The entire audience called back with a loud ‘Hello.’
“What are you doing?” Claire whispered to Hayden.
“Playing a roll.” Hayden whispered back.
“Why?!”
“Do you want to ruin the show? Just play along, Claire!” Hayden laughed. “It could be fun!” Hayden then ran out onto the rock and stood next to Claire. “NOW! WHO’S READY FOR SOME FUN!?”

The performance went on for an hour. Much of it involved the sea lions performing tricks with the help of Hayden and Claire. Claire’s swimming was superb and was able to keep up with the sea lions even at their high speed. Though she wouldn’t admit it, even she was starting to enjoy herself as she and the sea lions took turns jumping through hoops and Hayden made jokes. When the show finally ended, Claire and Hayden waved bye to everyone as the seals swam back to their beds for rest.
“Okay genius…now what?” Claire demanded.
“Back to exploring the park of course!” Hayden laughed, climbing out of the pool and onto the stands.
“I can’t! I’ve got a tail! I can’t walk.” Claire moaned.
“Must I do EVERYTHING for you?” Hayden asked. Hayden leaned down and pulled Claire out of the water. The then picked her up, princess style and walked her to the exit of the theater.
“WHAT’RE YOU…?”
“I’m carrying you, and keep the comments to yourself…you’re heavier than you look with that tail of yours!”
“Sh-shut up you jerk!” Claire growled. “I didn’t ask you to do this.”
“I know you didn’t…but I wanted to be a gentleman.” Hayden argued.
“Wow, first time for everything.” Claire laughed.
“Regardless, I can’t carry you everywhere…I’ve got it!” Hayden set Claire down by the pool and ran off somewhere, soon returning with a large wagon. He had positioned a giant tank filled with water on it and he lifted Claire into it, giving her something to sit in while he pulled her through the park.
“You’re actually kinda clever.” Claire laughed, as Hayden pulled her behind him, much to the amusement and glee of all the little kids.
“Don’t thank me yet…you’re tank is still really heavy.” Hayden shouted back. Children ran up to them begging to have their autographs and to say hi to them. Claire and Hayden were happy to oblige so they could be on their way. After a while though, Hayden had to stop and take a break from pulling Claire around.
“How much more of this park is there!?” Haydn groaned.
“We’re almost done…the only thing left is the Kraken roller coaster.” Claire said.
“Don’t you hate roller coasters?” Hayden asked.
“Ha, in my condition, I couldn’t ride one even if I wanted to.” Claire said.
“Good point…so you can just wait here until I get back.” Hayden teased.
“WHAT!? You can’t just leave me.” Claire shouted.
“You know what…you’re right. Here.” Hayden leaned in and picked Claire up once more, carrying her over to the giant lake nearby that cut through half the park. “You can swim around in here until I get back.”
“HAYDEN YOU JE-AAAAAAH!” Claire squealed as she was rolled into the water. Her head burst out of the surface and glared up at him. “YOU ASS!”
“Hey now don’t be like that…this is actually better. Your not cramped up anymore in that tank.”
“Well…yeah I guess…but I don’t wanna be alone!” Claire called back.
“I’ll only be a moment! Then I’ll come back and take you out of the park.” Hayden replied.
“Promise?” Claire begged.
“I promise!” Hayden laughed. “Be back soon!” Hayden then ran off to the roller coaster while Claire dove below the surface to swim around the lake.

“So how was the coaster?” Claire asked. Hayden was kneeling by the shore of the lake while Claire crawled out.
“That was INTENSE!” Hayden chuckled. “But I’m all Sea World out…I like the pirate outfit though.” Hayden picked Claire up and carried her to the exit of the park. As soon as they stepped through the gates, Claire’s legs suddenly morphed back into a pair of dainty legs with a green sash around her waist.
“My legs are back!” Claire laughed. “I can walk again!”
“That’s great.” Hayden said.
“That means you can put me down now.” Claire said with a smile.
“Hmmm…I can….but I’d rather not.” Hayden quickly flipped Claire over his shoulder and walked towards the car.
“YOU JERK! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?! PUT ME DOWN!”
“Oh this is going to be a FUN vacation, Claire.”
