Bea, Milo and Oscar were harmlessly walking home from school when they were approached by an old lady in a black cloak, hood pulled over her head mysteriously.

"Would you kiddies like to see something…magic?" She asked in her raspy voice. The three gave her a confused look.

"Let's just say I have a…different kind of magic trick to show you. Just follow me," She insisted. They shrugged and decided to follow her. She didn't seem to harmful, right?

The old lady lead the kids to a mysterious cave just outside the city limits. She stopped a little ways in.

"What, is this it? This is just an empty cave, there's nothing interesting about it." Milo said, slightly annoyed that she was cutting into their free time with some stupid empty cave.

"Would you like to explore further into the world of the…humans?" She asked. The three looked to each other. Now she had them interested in what she had to say.

"What do you mean, exactly?" Oscar asked. The old lady cackled a raspy laugh and put her hands out, palms facing them. For a moment or two, nothing happened. But then something weird and surprising caught the three teens' attention.

In the best way they could describe, some sort of dancing lights surrounded them, swirling and swishing and surrounding them. They felt tingly all over their bodies, and for a moment, it was like they went blind. Everything was black, they couldn't see a thing. They heard the old lady's cackle start to echo and fade, and before her voice vanished completely she said "if you want to be changed back, find me in a cave on the edge of town."

After the dancing lights died down and disappeared, the weird witch lady was gone and just Bea, Milo and Oscar were left. Although something still felt weird.

Oscar looked over to his friends and what he saw shocked him.

There, next to him, stood Bea. Except it wasn't the goldfish he knew and loved. She had beautiful flowing red hair, some sort of peachy-colored stuff where her scaly complexion used to be, and she had an amazing hour-glass figure. She had a red long sleeve shirt on with a yellow and orange striped tank-top with a red skirt and red boots.

In other words, she looked BEAUTIFUL.

"Umm, can I do something for you?" Bea asked awkwardly. Oscar blushed and looked away immediately.

"S-sorry," He muttered.

In her own mind, Bea had quickly looked over Oscar head to toe. Between his light-brown skin, (she had heard the word on a documentary about understanding humans) and his brown afro, brace-colored teeth and the choice of clothing—a light and dark green striped hoodie with brown sleeves and khaki pants—he actually looked kinda cute.

Milo, however, had taken on almost the same color skin as Oscar; his was just a bit paler. His hair color was a variety of different shades of blue, and he was wearing a light and dark striped hoodie with dark blue sleeves and regular blue jeans. He wasn't super-toothpick-skinny like Bea and Oscar seemed to be; he wasn't terribly large, either. He was just a little plump.

"Wait, where did witch lady go?" Milo asked. This made the three frantic. They looked left and right for her, but she was nowhere to be seen.

Suddenly, they realized they were out of the tank. They gasped for air, and Milo stuck his head in the fish tank.

"Wait a sec, guys! I think humans breathe this air stuff instead of water!" Bea exclaimed. Milo raised his head out of the water and sighed with relief.

"Good, cuz I couldn't breathe in there." Milo said. Bea rolled her eyes at the comment as the pet shop owner approached them.

"Can I help you three?" He asked. They turned to him-the swaying of Bea's hair entrancing Oscar-in curiosity. They hadn't heard him speak before.

"Umm, I don't know. What is this place?" Bea asked.

"Uuh, a pet store. You come here to buy one of these animals to take home." He explained. The three were shocked. There was an entirely new perspective to their lives. They were little more than a display for the humans. Something to take home if you're feeling lonely. A companion to look at each day.

"Oh...heh, thanks...umm, in that case, I think were just looking at these fish." The sales clerk shrugged and walked away.

"Wait. The witch lady said there was a cave outside of town where we could find her when we were ready to be changed back."

The three teens stood facing the door; blank stares on each of their faces.

"Dare we step outside the store?" Oscar asked blankly, fright evident in his tone.

"Do we have an option? The weird old lady said that if we want to be changed back we have to find her in a cave at the edge of town. And since we're humans, I don't think we'll find her in the fish tanks. I have a weird feeling she meant the human towns." Bea said nervously.

"Are you sure we should take this risk?" Oscar asked nervously. Of course Milo was up for adventure, and Bea was willing to do whatever it takes to make it back to the tank as a fish, but Oscar was the one who always worried.

"I don't think we have any other choice." Bea said.

The three nervously walked out of the pet shop, taking very small steps on the legs they were just getting used to. Putting one foot in front of the other (A/N: thumbs up for the reference to "Santa Clause is Comin' to Town"!) slowly.

Yet once they stepped out of the pet shop, they realized just how much walking they had in store.

Shortness! :/ But was it good for my first Fish Hooks fic? I hope so…I've recently started an addiction to this show and I looked into the fanart on DeviantArt a little, which is what gave me the idea for this story. Sorry if I stole anyone's conception of the three friends as humans, but I didn't really know how else to describe them as humans. Plus, don't expect this story to be updated so soon all the time because I've got at least nine or more stories running for other shows and they're keeping me quite busy with all the updating I have to do. Anyways, review?
