The Full Moon Transformation would last seven days, according to the information Shelly had left him. Seven days of needing to stay hydrated in mermaid form. Seven days of potentially depleting his entire life savings on this expensive bathwater.
Neville stared at the ceiling of his bathroom, his silver-black tail draped over the edge of the tub.
Beautiful, sure.
Expensive? Absolutely.
"But since I could transform back to my human form in forty-eight hours," he muttered to himself, "Therefore, I probably wouldn't need as much water... right?"
But there was only silence.
Neville pulled up the calculator on his light brain, the holographic interface flickering to life. He started doing math, each number making his heart sink.
How much water did he even need per day?
A standard bathtub held approximately 300 liters when filled to the brim. But this was much bigger; therefore, he would need to add more. He would need to change the water at least twice daily to keep it fresh.
