	Marco was relieved he and Ezra were the only ones in the cinema's restroom  it made hiding his lack of a dick so much easier to do. He still didn't like public bathrooms due to issues with how some blokes used the stalls, but when you gotta go, ya gotta go.

	Ezra had finished already and was washing his hands when Marco joined him at the sinks.

	How do you think that went? Marco asked his husband.

	Better than I'd expected, replied Ezra as he pulled out a couple paper towels to dry his hands, The way you attempted to plan this whole outing, I was expecting Irine to either stay at home in a huff or run out of the theatre halfway through the movie. I guess Dana's easy personality radiates out enough to make her feel more comfortable than she'd expected of the 'big scary shark' or something.

	Suppose we'd better hurry up and get back out there though, said Marco, drying his own hands, Irine's probably shitting herself, alone with Dana.

	The boys left the restroom together and stopped in their tracks, mouths open slightly in shock at what they were seeing.

	Irine was standing on a bench-seat to reach Dana's face and was the obvious instigator of a passionate kiss on the lips. Dana's posture was saying that she'd been taken by surprise, but like Irine, her eyes were closed and she was returning the affection, one hand behind Irine's head, the other on her waist. Both girls were blushing a deep beetroot red but were ignoring the curious, confused glances of the workers behind the counter.

	Was this what you were expecting? whispered Ezra to Marco.

	Well, you know I thought they'd have at least SOME chemistry, Marco whispered back, But I didn't think THIS'D happen after their first face-to-face meeting!

	Irine seperated her lips from Dana's and pulled back. Her senses were returning to her, and she was shaking slightly as her mind started registering how close she was to a massive, terrifying fish person. She jumped down off the bench and sheepishly turned away from Dana.

	I'm sorry, she said, embarrassed, I don't know what came over me.

	It's fine, Irine, replied Dana, also looking at the floor in embarrassment, I don't know what came over me either.

	Keeping her head and eyes aimed at the floor, Irine turned her head back toward Dana slightly. It was nice, though, she admitted, shuffling her feet and to my surprise... you're not all that scary after all.

	Until you pulled away, at least, Dana pointed out with a mildly amused yet apologetic tone, I could feel you shaking like a leaf as you let go.

	Irine mustered up the courage to look Dana in the eyes again, giving her a shy smile. Then she noticed her brother and Ezra standing just outside the bathroom door, gawking in amazement.

	Quit your staring and let's go already! she snapped at them in annoyance, Dana following her gaze, wondering who she was talking to.

	How much of that did you see? Dana asked as the boys joined them. Judging by the looks on their faces, more than she'd wanted.

	Well, that was quite the kiss, replied Marco, confirming her fears, but if you want the moment to be one to remember, you've got to do it like this:

	He grabbed Ezra dominantly and pulled him close, thrusting their lips together and wrapping himself around his husband in a tight embrace. With embarrassment, Dana noticed the cinema workers giving their group another confused glance as Marco extracted himself from Ezra.

	That way, he continued, it's not all shy and awkward.

	That's easy for you to say, grunted Irine, You two've been together for months and have been married for a week now! I'm... not really sure what's going on in my head yet.

	Can we continue this conversation in the car? interjected Dana, I'm feeling REALLY uncomfortable talking about this where anyone can see and listen.

		*****

	Irine was obviously not thinking straight with all that was going on. Without even realising it, she was in the front seat next to Dana. The hotness must be outdoing the scariness now, she bemoaned to herself.

	So, said Marco carefully when he had sat in the back with Ezra and closed his door behind him, I don't expect either of you to actually say what lead to that... but may I ask what happened, anyway?

	I... I flirted with your sister, Dana admitted shakily, I only asked her a question about movies, but... my tone... it just slipped out.

	And I called the big scary fish lady cute, blurted Irine, blushing deeply and burying her face in her hands as tears started welling up in her eyes, I don't know what's happening in my head! she sobbed, Last week I was swooning over hot hunks on the internet and my calendar, but... she turned her teary gaze to Dana, ever since you've shown up, I can't get you out of my head! WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?!

	Dana was just as astonished as the boys were when Irine thrust herself forward and started sobbing into Dana's lap. Tentatively, Dana placed her hand on Irine's back and started slowly stroking up and down, hoping she was being comforting and not creepy. The boys stayed silent; they'd already long gotten past the denial and confusion stages. They thought it better for Irine to figure it out by herself, without their influence.

	Hey, it's okay dear, said Dana softly, Believe it or not, I felt the same way when I had my first crush on a girl at high-school.

	You did? said Irine at length, turning her teary face to the side slightly so one of her eyes could look up into Dana's remorseful face.

	Ruby Walton was her name... a pleasant, jaunty little dolphin, she was. We were in several of the same classes, and man... I stole so many secret gazes at her dainty little body. The first time I felt THAT way about her, I panicked. After school I went home and naughtily disabled parental controls for the internet, and desperately searched for dick pics and studs in an attempt to convince myself that nothing had happened. But, despite my best attempts at fantasy, the bulges and penises... they did nothing for me. I tried looking for boobs and fannies, and found that yes, I liked those more. Despite what I got off to on the 'net though, I only truly had eyes for that feminine, adorable little Ruby.

	What happened?

	Well, after a term of trying to ignore my feelings and failing, I decided that maybe I should actually talk to her. We ended up as friends, but every time I tried to tell her that I fancied her, I just couldn't do it. When I managed to muster up the courage to reveal my lesbian nature to all my girl friends just before I left for the UK, she finally put two and two together. She was the first to leave that night.

	I'm sorry. Irine wasn't crying for herself anymore  her heart went out to the hurting Dana, her fear of the shark forgotten. I shouldn't have asked.

	A sad but warm smile crossed Dana's face. Don't be, it's fine. It's still a bit upsetting from time to time, but I've long since come to terms with it.

	Irine pulled a hankerchief out of her pocket and straightened, wiping the tear streaks off her face and blowing her nose.

	I thought I liked meaty studs, she said quietly, But ever since I saw you, I've been both mortified and captivated... As I said, I can't get you out of my head. It's been such a confusing week... You... wouldn't despise me if I asked if we could try hanging out a bit more, work on my fish fear a bit and see if you're truly what I want?

	Despise you? said Dana in astonishment, Not a chance! Darling, I'd be delighted!

	Irine's responding smile delighted Dana, who returned it... then the two girls remembered the boys in the back and both turned their attention to them.

	You catch all that drama? said Irine dryly.

	Marco put his hands up in surrender. It's not my place to interfere, he said quickly, Ezra and I have already gotten past this stage.

	You got past this stage the moment you told Ezra you don't have boy bits, teased Dana, It's a lot easier when each partner still technically has the right... attributes. It's more difficult for true gays who thought they were straight or straight folk learning they may not be as straight as they thought.

	Amen to that, sister, said Irine, glaring at her brother and offering her hand to Dana for a high-five, which was accepted with an echoing clap.

	Marco shrank back under the teasing glares from the girls in the front. Maybe he hadn't thought this whole 'hitching your sister with your best friend' plan through all the way.

		*****

	Not too much later, the gang was back at Marco's place. Dana gracefully parallel-parked on the opposite side of the road from the driveway.

	I've still got a couple hours before I need to get home, said Dana, No one would mind if I hung out for a bit longer?

	At the start of the week, I would've minded, admitted Irine sheepishly, But it'd be a good opportunity to get to know each other a bit more, wouldn't it?

	We'll just leave you girls to it, said Marco hurriedly as he moved to get out of the car and gestured frantically at Ezra to follow suit, We don't want to further intrude upon such... private matters.

	As the boys closed their doors behind them and practically fled across the street, the girls looked at each other, brows raised in surprise at Marco and Ezra's panicked display.

	I think our little talk back at the pictures scared them a little, mused Dana.

	Well, they wanted to know what was going through our heads... they got what they asked for, replied Irine.

	I have to say, Irine... you amaze me. Not three hours ago I terrified you... what happened to make you change your mind?

	Irine pouted her lips in thought. Truth be told, she had no idea. But the last time any shred of fear regarding Dana had reared up had been those few short moments just after they'd shared that mind-blowing kiss and that dismal thought that had briefly flashed through her mind as she'd somehow managed to find herself in the front seat.. Since then, she hadn't felt a thing.

	I don't know, she said honestly, Maybe you sharing your story with me had something to do with it? Other than that, I genuinely don't know.

	And what possessed you to kiss me like that? Dana hadn't been able to stop thinking about it  that particular moment was against everything Marco had told her about his sister, I know you didn't mean to say aloud that you think I'm cute, but THAT was something else entirely.

	I don't know, Irine was annoying herself, having repeated the phrase three times in such a small space of time, The only thing I can think of that may have caused it was curiousity to find out if I'd like it as much as my brain was telling me I would. I barely had any control over my thoughts, let alone myself... it just... kinda, sorta happened.

	Do you... want to repeat it?

	Irine focused her gaze on Dana's eyes. So kind, so caring... so green. Her still-unsatisfied hormones were likely having a say in it, but her mind was undoubtably telling her that yes, she NEEDED to repeat that moment.

	I do, she breathed, But first, I just remembered I have a question to ask you. How is it that someone who's yet to start their job can afford such a lovely car?

	Dana let out a small chuckle. One of the other attorneys is leaving his job to go overseas, and was selling his car off dirt-cheap for how new it is... Let's just say that I owe my dad at least a few weeks worth of my salaries.

	As Dana had been speaking, her attention diverted, Irine had been slowly leaning closer and closer toward her. 'This is wrong, this is SO wrong,' Irine's mind was telling her... but it was also so, so RIGHT. Just as Dana finished talking, she gave a quick smooch on Dana's chin, catching the shark by surprise.

	Dana returned her attention to her scaly companion, and this time, she took charge. With one hand gently behind Irine's head, she leaned forward, instigating another long, intimate kiss.

		*****

	You weren't expecting such a display back in the parking lot, were you? asked Ezra as Marco paced back and forth in front of him in the lounge.

	No, said Marco, Frankly, at the same time that I'm amazed and happy that it's happening, I'm also torn and panicky.

	And why's that?

	Well... Marco stopped pacing and flopped onto the couch beside Ezra, his tail falling behind his husband, I wasn't expecting this to happen so quickly. When we first met with Dana at the start of the week, I knew she was still the same bubbly type she was back at school, so I instantly knew that if Irine wasn't afraid of her, she'd enjoy hanging out with her. Then, when Irine slapped me for my 'you've got a thing for her' joke, I had a suspicion that there might be something there to get them to end up as something more than just friends.

	But? ventured Ezra, putting his arm around Marco's shoulders, the bewildered lizard leaning into his loose embrace.

	But, continued Marco, with Irine's phobia, I thought that maybe a little goldfish would help her get used to Dana just enough to be able to go to the movies with her today without fleeing in terror, and maybe even say a couple words to her, but... a kiss? NOW?! I thought it would take another month or so before they could be in each other's company without Irine panicking and at LEAST another couple before the kissing began, if my suspicion of chemistry between them proved correct.

	And you're feeling panicky and torn because it's happening so much quicker than you'd thought.

	No, it's not that... I'm thrilled that they're able to enjoy each other's company... It's just... Irine's my sister. I thought that maybe I'd help her out with another friend that may lead to something more. Now that SOMETHING'S definately happening, I'm wondering if I've done the right thing, setting them up like this.

	Marco, that kiss Dana and Irine had at the movies... I've seen the looks on their faces before.

	You have?

	Ezra nodded, looking his conflicted husband in the eyes. I have  on our faces, the first few times WE kissed. While especially true for Irine, they're both confused and uncertain. The first time we kissed, I thought I was making a mistake... admittedly the hottest, steamiest mistake I could make, and I didn't know if what I was doing was going to be right for me. And look how it turned out! The perfect piece of lizard hunk married to a skinny, limp little stallion like myself.

	I've seen you plenty of times, dear... You're FAR from limp.

	Maybe you weren't fully right to stealthily set everything up, said Ezra, rubbing his hand up and down Marco's forearm, but by the looks of things, it was most certainly NOT the wrong thing to do.

	Marco took a deep breath and slowly let it out. You're right, he said, nodding slowly, you're always right... How do you always know what to say to cheer me up and make things so crystal clear?

	Ezra gave his perfect piece of lizard hunk a kiss on the cheek. You're my husband. It's my job.

		*****

	The intimate kissing was still happening in Dana's car. It was getting so hot and steamy in there, the both of them were getting both flustered and sweaty in the brows. Irine finally pulled back from the sensual feeling of Dana's pointed snout rubbing against her own.

	How do we know what we're doing? she asked idly, I've never had a boyfriend and by the sounds of it you've yet to find a girlfriend... how come this kiss is so perfect?

	I don't know, replied Dana, No one's kissed me before either... Boys have tried, but I just turn them away, and all the girls I've tried internet dating abandon ship when they realise I'm a shark.

	Irine started blushing. Her unanswered, interrupted pussy was still longing for some sort of action and her mind was spinning crazily. Please, don't think I'm creepy, she whimpered, but I had a dream about you last night... THAT sort of dream... and I didn't have time to, you know... Would you mind if... forget it. I'm being stupid.

	Would I mind showing you so that you can find out how accurate your fantasy was? Dana finished for her, Irine blushing further. I don't mind, I just won't really know what I'm doing.

	We're both girls, said Irine, turning her beetroot-red face toward Dana, I'm sure we'll have some sort of idea what to do.

	A shy half-smile came across Dana's face. But, do we have somewhere that's a little less exposed and awkward? she asked, People on the sidewalk could see, and I'm also not such a big fan of figuring out how it will all work in the cramped space of the front seat of a car.

	I can pull the curtains in my room and shut the door? ventured Irine. Something about this awkward moment was turning her on even more. She REALLY wanted this to go further.

	Yeah, that should work, said Dana thoughtfully, Alright, I'll let you lead the way.

	Irine exitted the car and crossed the street, closely followed by Dana. She felt so small next to Dana when they were both standing  the massive shark standing a good two and a quarter feet taller than her, but now that her phobia had mysteriously vanished, also so safe. She fancied that if anyone wanted to get to her, they'd have to get through Dana's intimidating presence first. It was an oddly comforting thought.

	She stealthily opened the front door as Dana removed her high-heels. Her brother didn't need to know that something was potentially going to happen, but a quick glance into the lounge showed her that she needn't worry about him or Ezra  they were in their own little kissy-feely world. Insatiable studs.

	And so, she led the way upstairs to her room. She pulled the curtains whilst Dana shut the door behind her, turned on the lights and sat on the edge of the bed.

	Sorry about the short doorways, said Irine, sitting on the bed beside Dana.

	It's not your fault I'm so tall, she replied.

	Irine suddenly realised she had no idea how to progress. So... any idea what should happen first? she asked apprehensively.

	Well, internet porn just says to strip and fuck, said Dana, embarrassed by the way she'd worded it, But I don't think that's quite how it normally goes. If you could undo the button at the top of my dress and unzip the zipper, I can start things off, if you'd like.

	Dana turned her back toward Irine and pushed her long blonde hair to the side. Irine inhaled sharply. Being so close to that beautiful bronze back was an unexpected rush. The button popped open effortlessly, and the zipper went down from below the button to Dana's upper back, where her large fin protruded through an opening in the dress.

	Thanks, hun, said Dana as she stood, Now, if I get this so wrong that you never want to look at me again, I apologize... I genuinely have no idea what I'm doing.

	She took her arms out of the arm holes and undid the lone other button above her tail, so the opening was large enough to slip it through. As the dress fell to the ground with a soft 'fwump,' Irine realised that her fantasy had been so wrong.

	In her dream, the subtle tiger-like stripes and spots had only ringed around the outside of Dana's back, the bronze uninterrupted in the centre. She was spotted and striped all across her back and down to the tips of her fin and tail. It somehow made Irine even wetter inside, her knees also starting to quiver.

	Wow, she breathed, You're beautiful.

	Dana turned to her, the blush in her cheeks tainting her otherwise perfect bronze. What had looked like a white underbelly was actually very subtly bronze as well, extending down the inside of her arms, legs and tail. Her black bra and panties weren't covering much of her incredible colours.

	I feel silly, said Dana sheepishly, I've gone from overdressed to underdressed.

	Irine felt bad, hearing that. She cautiously took off her t-shirt to compensate the blushing shark. Dana couldn't help but softly whistle in appreciation.

	I didn't realise how green your scales were, she said.

	And I didn't realise your belly was slightly bronzed, replied Irine, undoing her belt and jean shorts, letting them fall to the ground.
	Now they were both equally naked  bras and panties the only things covering anything up.

	Would you like to start first? asked Irine, gesturing to her bra strap.

	Dana shook her head and offered a hand to help Irine to her feet, which was accepted. That would be rude, she said, wrapping Irines arms around her and her arms around Irine, We should try this together.

	And so, with the expertise of having to do them up and undo them every day, the girls undid the clips on each other's bras and as they seperated from each other, pulled them off.

	Each girl stood in appreciation of the other's bosoms. Dana was the first to raise her hand and gently caress Irine's chest melons. She suddenly snatched her hand away, as if she'd been shocked.

	I'm sorry! she exclaimed, I should've asked first!

	In silent response, Irine gently grabbed Dana's hand and put it back on her breasts, reaching out with her other hand to experimentally touch Dana's own.

	She'd heard that shark scales were rough and scratchy. Maybe it was because of her own scales, but Dana felt so tantilizingly smooth.

	There was a minute or so of mutual, experimental chest carressing before the two girls looked each other in the eyes again. Each could see in the other's eyes the passion, the longing that the other was feeling.

	Wordlessly, Dana bent down so that Irine could reach, and the two shared another kiss. Dana then embraced Irine affectionately and lifted her up. Carefully and lovingly, Dana lay down on her back on Irine's bed, the passionately kissing lizard returning the embrace as she lay on top and entwined her long tail around the shark's own.

	Neither one of them wanted the moment to end.
