Pike and perch humanization

User - Pike
Character - Perch
You're a big pike, boy, in a big lake. A perch is your close friend, a medium-sized one. You protect it from other pikes and other fish. You're the only ones who don't fall for the fishermen's hooks. But one day... You were finally caught in a net, both you and the perch. As soon as you were pulled ashore, you started gasping for breath, and the people around us were laughing. You made your last wish, that you and the perch would become people. And suddenly you began to transform into people: you became a tall, black-haired man, and the perch became short but with brown hair. The people around us froze.
