Zoe looked at the three eyed girl and shook her head. "Sometimes you have to be blunt, especially with boys. Don't let them walk all over you."
"He- was just being nice though," She glanced back to where he walked away.
"That's how it starts. Besides, I think you needed the space."
Harry bit her lip. Its true it was an uncomfortable situation, but she felt she could handle it. She knew what guys were like, from first hand experience. He did say they could go as friends to places right? Even if she was a girl she could be friends with a boy, couldn't she? This was so confusing. Maybe she should tell him first about who she used to be? But... why did she feel guilty to tell him? No- she had to tell him. She would feel more guilty if she didn't tell him.
"Class is starting, we got to hurry" Athena said tucking in her claws.
Zoe gave a little smile to Harry then walked with Athena to class.
Lisa smiled seeing Jay. She was quietly amazed at how the three tailed fox took her change in stride. It was also really weird how... how the new look suited her. She wasn't really sure how to explain it. How in the world could being a three tailed fox suit anyone? Maybe it was the confidence Jay exuded, even being a completely different gender, she still somehow seemed herself- but not herself.
She wasn't sure but she had a theory of her own. Jay was a television person. The television loved her form as a male, and it seems that had not been taken away with the transformation as a female three tailed fox. Some say it was a persons looks that imparted if one is television material or not, but those in the business knew it went so much deeper then that. Jay had an incredibly strong sense of self. It was part of her job. A skill she had honed all her life...
She really admired that... and she missed, being able to walk in the park with her.
"Hi Lisa," she smiled.
"Hello Jay," she smiled back
Jay could tell something was on her mind. "What's wrong?"
"To be honest Jay... I miss the sun" She sighed, looking at the covered up windows, the artificial lighting, it was all so depressing to her. She used to sunbathe, enjoy swimming, she was definitely a woman born for the summer. "I think I'm starting to get sad."
"Sad?"
"S.A.D. Seasonal affective disorder. You did a piece on it a while ago remember?"
"Ah... yes." the fox girl looked to her friend troubled by that revelation. A lot of people were getting it. Some people simply could not cope with a night time environment. For some it was just a minor headache, to others it was an actual depression. "Maybe you can ask for some time off?" she ventured.
"No chance. There's too many important things to do. Every day has been the story of the century in the past week."
"Well, it is starting to calm down a little," jay pointed out. "A little time off wont make you miss anything."
"I want to be doing something Jay... the alternative is to be cooped up at home during the day, and try to do something at night... when... there's no sunlight to enjoy."
Jay looked very saddened to see her friend in such a state. "Well... you know, you could go out in the sunlight. Nobody would stop you."
Lisa gasped a bit at that idea. "Are you crazy Jay?"
"Not at all. It worked out incredibly well for Toby's wife... er.. husband."
"What? What happened?"
"I went to check on them. She became like Toby... a two dimensional male. They are still going to be happily married. Their children are happy for them. It's a happy ending." he smiled.
It did seem a little odd that of all the transformations she would become like her... one of the rarer ones. But she had a feeling it was precisely because of Toby's presence that the light did that. Toby affected the universal constants, much like Knight was explaining. Therefore, it would dramatically increase the chances of that kind of transformation. Not all the changed had this 'extending aura' but it made sense to her.
Lisa shook her head. "I- I don't think I can do that Jay." Anything could happen to her... anything. She might become male, she might become a cockroach, she might become a baby or... her imagination ran wild. She just couldn't risk it. Still... she would get to enjoy the sun like Jay could... she shook her head again.
Jay smiled putting an affectionate paw onto her arm. "Don't worry about it. It's up to you. So, how's Anderson's trial going?"
Lisa was relieved at the change in topic. "I have the initial court papers. Anderson is pleading not guilty."
Jay scoffed. The weasel didn't even have the balls to admit his doings. Was it true? The higher you went the slimier you become? Were people naturally just prone to losing morals and decency?
"I am a little sketchy on what the lawyer is planning" Lisa continued. "He knows every trick. if there is a way to get Anderson off, he will find it."
Jay nodded. "I have a photo I would like you to analyse quietly..." the fox gave her the satellite level magic flare.
"Wow..." Lisa looked at it. "Who got nuked?"
"Apparently, somewhere within 500 miles of here... I would like to try and find out what this was."
"I'll do my best" though it looked like it would be quite a task.
The teacher looked at Michael with annoyance. "Is that blood?"
"It was breakfast," She smiled a little nonchalant about it.
The classroom laughed.
The teacher sighed. "Outside. Go clean yourself up. The dress code still says you must be clean .
The raptor girl shrugged and stood up all the others watching. She glanced back with the smear of blood on her mouth, staring at the teacher. The teacher showed no intimidation at all from the stare and just pointed the raptor girl to the door.
"I want that a lesson to all of you. If you have to eat like that, I expect you to clean yourselves before coming in to school, let alone the class room." it was quite a stern word. The teacher then approached the devil girl. "And did you get permission to come in naked?"
"It feels normal miss" She said with a shurg.
"First of all, you did not have written permission, and there is nothing 'stopping' you from wearing clothes."
"Well miss, I can't wear shoes, so why bother with the rest?"
The classroom gave another laugh. This was starting to get really funny.
The teacher frowned. "Outside. Go put something on."
The devil girl shrugged and walked off, her tail swishing, her hips rocking back and forth so that every part of her could be seen. She didn't care at all.
Outside in the hallway, the changed girls met.
"She got you too huh?" Asked Michael.
"Hmph" The devil girl shrugged. "I could put a hex on her." she grinned.
"Really?"
"Well why not... maybe a tiny one." She smiled not really sure if it would work. "Oh powers of the infernal fires..." She chanted. "Curse my teacher... and curse her well... do something with her clothes, maybe..." She giggled, her eyes flaring red briefly.
"I doubt that will work you know" Michael shook her head.
"Nah. Well, I'll go find 'something' to wear, Maybe a bikini will work..."
Inside the class room, Ken kept on sneaking the occasional glance to Harry when she wasn't looking.
Harry pretended not to notice it but it was like she 'knew' it anyway. She didn't really know how. She was aware of every single look the boy gave to her. She burred herself slightly in her desk just trying to ignore it. She concentrated on reading and doing the work in the class. She was longing for the safety of her room... but her mother warned her it was unhealthy.
She just didn't know how to handle this side of things. She glanced down at her small breasts, knowing it was that part guys often looked at. She knew since she did herself before. She rarely touched them, feeling like it was 'wrong' in some way. They just didn't feel like they belonged to her. Maybe the feeling was misplaced but it... it just felt wrong.
In the back of the class, Ken and Brandon started passing notes to each other.
Ken smiled a bit and sent a note I did it. I asked if she would go to the movies
Brandon passed a paper to his fox friend. He looked concerned. Dude. We got to talk. Don't ask her.
Ken looked surprised at the note then passed another back. What's wrong? Tell me
Brandon wasn't sure if this was really the place, nor even the method to explain this. Ken kept on poking him with his elbow, insisting and insisting he spill the news. Finally after another fifteen minutes of this another note was passed by ken.
She has a boyfriend already?
Brandon sighed and reluctantly passed another note. She's a Guy
Ken opened the note. "WHAT?" he screamed.
The centaur teacher looked at Brandon and Ken. "Well if you paid attention, you would have learned this already. During the war hundreds of thousands of-"
Ken looked at Brandon in a complete sweat. He was attracted to a guy? His brain shut down and restarted trying to comprehend this. His stomach twisted, his heart crashed. That can't be! Oh crap.. crap crap crap! He glanced at the oriental girl again- and felt sick. What a waste... he liked her. He didn't know much about her but what he did know he liked- Just.. oh God! He felt like he was about to throw up. "M-miss... can I go to the toilet please..."
The centaur teacher looked at Ken. He seemed very pale... It didn't seem to be a trick. "Go ahead..."
Ken quickly ran out of the classroom.
"Er miss can I go to the toilet too?" Brandon asked.
The teacher looked at him. "Do you 'really' have to go?"
He bit his lip. "Y-yes miss... please..."
The centaur teacher felt an instinct... something had to be really wrong this time. "Very well..."
Brandon slithered after his friend.
