"Can I use it to fly?"

Michael walks into the surf. "Come on, guys, Nemo's waiting." He looked at Paul. "Oh, and Sadde turned into a boy today. And he can make things appear."

"I don't think you can use it to fly but maybe, I dunno lots of physics." He looks at Michael. "Come on where? I still can't swim."

"If you can grow boy parts, can't you grow a tail?"

"Are you really a boy now? And could you make something that'd let you float? Like a life preserver? Or water wings?" says Paul, as he follows his fellow aquatic humanoid into the water.

"Tail doesn't make me breathe underwater, and anyway, I don't grow boy parts, I turn into a boy. But I could make one of those, yeah." Giant floating rubber duck!

The boys both burst out laughing. 

He very dignifiedly strips naked and pushes the rubber duck onto the water and sits in it.

Michael in the water makes Michael on land look clumsy. Paul is almost as graceful. Occasionally, one of the boys bumps Sadde's duck, keeping it moving in their direction. 

Wheee this is actually pretty fun.

"See why I wanted to teach you this?"

"I don't doubt it's fun, it's just I never had the chance to learn! Or reason."

"You need a reason?"

"Of course, why would I learn to swim when I don't ever visit the ocean or even a pool?"

"That must've sucked."

"Don't bother. She thinks fun is a bad word."

"I don't think it's a bad word, I just don't think it's the most important thing ever. Also I'm a 'he' today."

"Sorry." He sounds genuine. 

Suddenly, a face pops out of the water. It looks somehow more Michael than Michael itself. The Polynesian cast of Michael's features is stronger in this child. Its hair however is the same short, messy, jet black look. 

"Hi Nemo."

"Hi Nemo."

The child sniffs Sadde. "You said it was a girl, Michael!" she says in a weirdly musical voice.

"I was one, yesterday."

Nemo looks at Michael, and makes a series of shrill whistles and clicks. 

"No, most humans don't do that."
