The three friends entered the beach house where they planned a long weekend of relaxing in each others company. The island was isolated and had few visitors. Perfect for people looking to have a little time to simply relax and enjoy the beach weather. Lauren set her belongs in her room, wearing a sexy red dress that displayed her curves. Even though Chris would not be there for another day or two, she wanted to look her best for when he did. She placed her belongings into the only room with a double bed, and relaxed on its soft sheets.

Topaz bounced in, wearing her loose fitting clothing and sliding her skateboard up against the nearest wall where it would be out of the way. "This place is great, and so cheap too."

Kyle nodded in agreement. "Extremely cheap. You'd almost wonder how they could afford to keep the rates so low." The giraffe put his small suitcase in the other room, returning with a shrug. He breathed deeply, taking in the air around them. "So refreshing out here."

"It is." Lauren couldn't help but agree with her friends. She jumped up and gave Topaz a warm hug. "Why don't we look around the house, see what it has to offer?"

Topaz picked up a pamphlet that described the island and the house they were staying in. "It says this house is 300 years old. The boards that built it were from ships that fished for various sea creatures in the region, bring them to local fish markets and zoo exhibits. Apparently this place was built by one of the local peoples after one of them wrecked."

Lauren listened intently as she wandered into the large shower. No doubt it was designed so that groups could bathe together. She looked at the many nozzles around the room, all controlled from one place. "Nice big shower. It's a good thing we aren't shy, it seems they weren't big on privacy here."

Kyle shrugged. "I'd be happy to allow the ladies some privacy, if you two would prefer." He gave a gentlemanly bow, and it was then that the tingling started.

Lauren sensed a gurgling in her stomach as she felt almost like she had the urge to sneeze, but it wasn't a sneeze that was affecting her body. She stopped her nose from wrinkling just in time to realize she had developed tusks! Large thick ones, and her left hand had flattened out into a flipper. She tried to turn around but suddenly fell forward against the shelf for bath tools. "Help!" She cried out. "We're changing!"

Kyle had already gone down to all fours, having no hands or feet to stand on. All four of his limbs were flippers now, with a large shell appearing on his back. Tearing free from his shirt, the garments were shredded almost to the point of being unrecognizable. He rested on his knees and tried to look up at Topaz, unable to stand in his sea turtle body. Soon he would no longer have knees or his long giraffe neck.

Topaz grabbed on to the shower in a vain attempt to fight off the changes. Her tail started to shrink towards her body as her right leg became a useless flipper. Her left leg had already started to change, but for now she could still stand. Topaz's muzzle became a sea turtle's beak, and she saw the pattern of a flipper on her forearm. "I can't control it, it's too strong to fight..." A shell began to form under her shirt, her changes accelerating.

Lauren found her body at a lower center of gravity as her legs shrank and thickened into a walrus's tail and flippers. She had expanded several hundred pounds and now the dress stretched and tore to contain her walrus body. She held on to the shelf with her remaining hand and blushed as she saw a bulge in between what was left of her legs. She felt the baculum start to grow inside her male anatomy, and knew she was becoming a male walrus again. As soon as Chris arrived, he would become his mate, a female walrus in body. She struggled to find a way to fight it or warn him from coming, but their flippers could not use the tiny buttons on the phones, nor could they stand to walk for help in the raised tower that contained the island's only radio.

"Well, this is a fine mess you girls have gotten me into." Kyle looked at Lauren with an accusing stare.

"Me?" Lauren said, hiding her face behind a flipper.

Kyle nodded. "We only transform when one of you two are around. Chris and I are victims of circumstance!"

Topaz sighed. "The brochure says that the house is the home of the spirits of the sea creatures that were killed by the fishermen. I guess they forgot to mention they like transforming visitors to match. Just what I need, another form for my body to take."

"It's not so bad." Lauren giggled. "At least we always change back, eventually."

"Well, since we're trapped in these bodies for the rest of our time here, anyone want to go for a swim?" Topaz asked.

Lauren giggled. "I'll beat you turtles for sure!" She struggled to heft her mighty bulk to the water before her friends, glad that at least they were together.
