Tasuki: Hmmm, ‘s quiet. (looking around) Li’l too quiet fer my taste. Wha’s goin’ on?
PFf: (walks by, grabs back of shirt, dragging him) Let’s go.
Tasuki: GACK! What th’ hell?! Let go a me!
PFf: No way! This is my opportunity to do this, so I’m taking it. Tough break.
Tasuki: “Opportunity” ta do what?!
PFf: You’ll see. You just hang tight.
Tasuki: AGH! Too tight! Too tight!

(After several minuets of walking around, PFf and Tasuki finally arrive in a room with an Olympic size pool)
Tasuki: (exhausted sigh) Are we there yet?!
PFf: Yep.
Tasuki: Good. Wait, I know tha’ smell. (looks up, sees pool) WATER!! (runs)
PFf: Seal the doors, Chichiri!
Chichiri: Right, no da!
Tasuki: (runs into closed doors) BANG! @.@
PFf: Cooro, Nana! Fly him over the water.
Nana: Ugh, he’s heavy! He needs to loose weight so badly!
Cooro: He’s not that, urg!, bad!
Nana: Yeah, right! I can see you struggling over there!
Tasuki: ugh, wha?
PFf: Alright, drop him!
Tasuki: Wha? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!! (PLOOSH!) GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!! HELP! GET ME OUTTA HEEEEEEERRRRRRREEEE!!
Husky: (in pool in merman form) You’re in the shallow end moron.
Tasuki: I DON’ CARE! I’M GONNA DIE!
Husky: + (whacks him upside the head with his tail) Get a hold of yourself!
Tasuki: Ow! Whatchya bring me here for anyway?!
PFf: I told you, I had the opportunity so I took it. Besides, you have the best swim teacher I can think of besides Aquaman.
Husky: You should be glad you’re a friend of Senri’s. You better pay me good too.
Tasuki: Tha’ sounds all too familiar. Damn Tama.
Chichiri: Don’t worry, Tasuki, no da. We won’t allow you to drown, no da.
Tasuki: Aw, tha’s reassurin’! Why can’t ya teach me, Chichiri?
Chichiri: It’s much more fun to watch, no da. ^^
Tasuki: Ya asshole. Oh wait! I don’ have swim trunks! Sorry, looks like I can’t learn how ta swim!
PFf: Taken care of. (pointing at Tasuki, who was in swim trunks)
Tasuki: What th-?!
PFf: You were wearing trunks the whole time. Your clothes were an illusion.
Tasuki: No wonder th’ gang was lookin’ at me funny. Wait a minuet, how did ya guys get me in trunks?
PFf: None of us wanted to change you, so we used hypnosis. It’s amazing what hypnosis can do.
Tasuki: Thanks.
PFf: Anyway, you’re going to learn how to swim whether you like it or not.
Tasuki: Why?
Chichiri: ‘Cause swimming’s fun, no da!
Tasuki: You enjoy it then, I’m outta here. (starts climbing out)
PFf: That’s where Senri and Rose comes in. (Senri knocks Tasuki back in pool)
Tasuki: What th’ hell?!
Rose: Every time you try getting out, Senri and I’ll push you back in. So no funny business.
Tasuki: Damnit!

(After two hours of learning how to stay above the water)
Husky: Okay, now that we finally learned not to drown ourselves.
Tasuki: Shut up, ya damn tuna!
Husky: Fish!
Tasuki: Tuna is fish!
Husky: Not tuna!
Tasuki: Awright crab then!
Husky: I don’t look like a crab! Crabs aren’t even fish!
Tasuki: Yeah, they are! They live underwater, they’re fish!
Husky: Whales lives in the ocean and they’re not fish!
Tasuki: Now yer sayin’ yer a whale, huh?!
Husky: I just said I’m a fish, not whale!
Tasuki: Coulda fooled me.
PFf: (sigh) This isn’t working.
Chichiri: He’s trying reeeeaaallly hard to make Husky quit, isn’t he, no da?
PFf: Yeah. Well, time for plan B. Hand me that vial, Chichiri.
Chichiri: (handing vial) You sure you want to do this, no da?
PFf: Positive. (empties contents of vial in water) Hey, Cooro! Shove Tasuki underwater!
Cooro: Can do! Banzai! (dive bombs Tasuki feet first on the head)
Tasuki: Gurgle Blurb Bloop Gurgle Glug! (OW! What th’ hell’re ya doin’?!) (comes up after a while) GASP! What th’ hell, Cooro?!!
Cooro: She told me to.
Tasuki: Grrr!! + (starts swimming after him with super speed)
Chichiri: He’s swimming fast, no da!
PFf: It worked!
Cooro: AAAH! Quit chasing me!
Husky: (grabs “feet”) Cut it out! (realizes what he’s holding) What the?! (lets go)
Tasuki: (accidentally speeds forward, hits head on wall) CRACK! OW!
Cooro: Hey, I didn’t know you were like Husky!
Tasuki: What? No I’m not, I got le- (lifts up “legs”, sees red fish tail) What. Th’. Hell?
PFf: Tasuki’s a merman!
Nana: Ooo, like the Little Mermaid?
Tasuki: Hell no!
Chichiri+PFf: (singing) I wanna be where the people are. I wanna see, wanna see ‘em dancing!
Tasuki: Shut up! Change me back, damnit! I don’ wanna be like tuna boy over there!
Husky: I’m a fish! +
-
Tasuki: (still merman) Damnit! I can’t believe ya did this ta me!
Chichiri: At least now you don’t have to be afraid of drowning, no da.
Tasuki: Thanks, I always wanted ta be a fish!
Chichiri: You’re welcome, no da. ^^
PFf: Well, I would like to thank the four football players in my theatre class that insisted we watch The Little Mermaid and were singing along with the songs, good ol’ summer, swimming, and Tasuki’s fear of it.
Tasuki: Change me back!
PFf: (ignoring him) I would also like to thank Cooro and the others from +Anima for showing up on short notice.
Cooro: (eating apple given to him) You’re welcome!
Tasuki: Change me back!!
PFf: You know if you just get out of the water it’ll go away, right?
Tasuki: Oh, now ya tell me! (starts getting out)
All (but Tasuki)(singing): Under the sea! Under the sea! Down where it’s wetter, everything’s better, under the sea!
Tasuki: SHUT UP! (slips back in pool)
