Sakura and Cynthia were dared by their friends to see how long they could last before they turned into their merform. Cynthia happily agreed and dragged Sakura into it. At first, they thought they were lucky, feeling like they were resisting the magic for a few seconds. Until they were caught off guard and transformed while standing. The two began frantically waving their arms, Sakrua looking embarrassed by the change and how she can't use any magic to keep her from falling face first, while Cynthia thought they might have had more time before changing. Either way, one way or another, they're going to fully soaked by the ocean.

While looking at H2O gifs on Tumblr (there is or was an account that kept posting gifs from the show), I ended up getting the idea from seeing something similar from one of the earlier episodes in season 1. It's a fun scene and I wanted to put Cynthia and Sakura in that scenario. It was nice getting kinda down how the magic change looks for the two, sure it might alter again but I do really like how this came out with the decaying spiral and the magic rim. It was also a really good idea to have the merform and the swimsuits on a different folder layer. Almost forget to do the flapping arms effect since this piece was on and off for a few weeks, but it helped so much with them trying to frantically keep standing.
