Tiffany couldn't believe it. Underneath her skirt she was growing a large and very impressive bushy red tail. It was as large as she was tall. How in the world could she hide this! Then again... there was no hiding from this. No hiding that she was a girl, no hiding she was a freaky animal girl either... what would they do when she started zapping people with magic? She could go to jail!
Tiffany was seeing her entire life unravel before her eyes. She was in a state of shock- no worse then that, terror. A fear of loss so profound there were no words for it. Her place in this world was completely gone, as if it was never there to begin with.
"Sheeh look at your face, calm down. It's just one tail, I got two." Michelle said waving them teasingly. She really was getting the hang of this. Weird.. Tim wasn't moving now. She slowly approached her. "Hey, what's wrong?"
"I- I- I..."
Michelle looked to her quizicly in her fox-form. "Hm? What?"
She screamed. Tiffany screamed her lungs out, so much so that sparks of magic danced on her skin, like drops of rain taking on the hue of the moon. "Get it off me get it off me!"
Michelle actually winced at the sound. She watched as Tim rapidly moved in panic, all in vain to stop her lovely bushy tail from being seen. There was no way to hide it that she could see... finally Tim fell down on the earth. The fox-woman cautiously approached. "Eh... you okay now? Honestly it looks good..." she hoped that would be enough to placate her.
"Looks good? I'm a freak!" It was bad enough she had been turned into a girl. Her life was over. How was she going to continue her job at the garage like this! How could she even go to a town.. or anything?
Michelle couldn't help but smirk at Tiffany being maybe just a touch over dramatic. The younger looking girl tried to pull down her skirt, tented as it was by the new appendage. The tail was very big Indeed unlike her own tails which seemed to defy logic and nature, shimmering and shifting through her clothes... Tiffany's looked far more based on inconvenient and conventional reality. How peculiar! Still it was certainly amusing to watch as she tried to organize her dress in a way that didn't stop her flashing her new panties.
Michelle out of curiously started trying to sense the magic. It was Strange. Tiffany's power lacked direction though had some basis in emotion. She had to hope she wasn't going to go nova. Her own power on the other hand (or paw) had greater direction and control but at the same time, she couldn't control what that direction was once the first step had started. If that was the case though, maybe Michelle could now go back to her human form? She concentrated on that, and... slowly but surly, she grew bigger. Her fox tails stayed of course, and soon her paws became hands again. "Ah... so much better." Clothes shimmered around her, this time in a lovely white dress, though still bare-foot. She smoothed it around her form, feeling it was somehow... right.
"You're still a girl though..." Lamented Tiffany.
"Really? Good!" She laughed. "Come on sexy."
Tiffany sighed. "I- I just want to go home..."
The fox-woman rolled her eyes. "You are such a wet blanket. Honestly, can't you see the benefits to all this? I think having magic is a very small price to pay for being different now. As a human well- you know what I was. Now we're something better!"
Tiffany looked glum as she continued to walk, her new bushy tail behind her dragging on the grass. It.. felt really ticklish. She squirmed a bit, lifting it. She didn't want to control it, as if it would somehow make it even more part of her then she wanted. These changes were too much. "What am I anyway..."
"Mmm... you're a squirrel" Michelle observed. "Hey don't get mad, I'm just calling it for what it is. You're a squirrel, I'm a fox. That must make me the star of whatever is going on."
"W-What makes you say that!" Tiffany muttered.
"Come on, how many good squirrel stories are there? All the best stories have foxes as the star. You're like my little minion. Maybe you'll grow bat wings or something next." Michelle felt herself blush at the idea of having so much... power over her friend. She was a fox now and it felt.. good.
Tiffany wasn't sure how much of Michelle she could take. Still she did need her... it wasn't so long ago though that 'he needed him'... the universe just wasn't fair.
The two changed girls went on through the forest. Tiffany.. tim.. whoever she was at this point, was starting to wonder when they would get back. "Why don't you just teleport us back home..."
Michelle glanced back. "I could try again, but I rather enjoy walking. I'm sure we're not far from a town..."
Then a new voice. "Hello, pleasure to meet you." So small.. almost unnoticed.
Michelle glanced around her fox tails twitching behind her. "Who... huh?" Was this telepathy again? No... it was closer... but who-
"Down here oh fox of the thousand tail."
Michelle looked down. A small mouse was Talking to her? It looked like a field mouse. "uh... hey." Okay so.. this was new. New was still good though. "Hey... um... what can I do for you, talking mouse?" she smirked a bit. New power, talking to animals. Yep, this was swell.
The mouse looked relatively confused but stood it's ground. "Umm... are you here to claim your domain? Can I be of service? We've not seen one of you in a very long time," the mouse looked quite eager to help as it stood on its hind legs. Its small whiskers twitched a bit.
Tiffany didn't seem to notice any conversation being too wrapped up in her own thoughts. She was just Holding her huge tail in her lap moping, every step very heavy. Her thoughts dwelling on what she could do.. and all the things she had lost...
Michelle glanced with a shake of her head to her companion then back to the mouse. The little field mouse gave a smile- or- some kind of 'thought' of a smile. "My name is Belle, my lady. I.. I wouldn't want to cause offence to your greatness but " The mouse looked really nervous. "Well- in the many generations when you were part of this world you usually held territory that encompassed the woods." Belle's tail swished behind her. "We usually enjoyed your protection though as humans wouldn't dare come sometimes animals would bring you offerings. I heard humans try that too didn't always work. Those were the old days though. Are those days coming back?"
If it's one thing that Michelle thought though it was very difficult for a mouse to lie. Indeed this might be true of many in the animal kingdom Duplicity and guile were strengths of the fox-kin curiously enough the squirrel folk too. The possibility WAS intriguing, she has to admit. There was a part of her that was tempted towards owning her own area, getting honoured and paid tribute and She shook her head, she looked back down to Belle. " Hmm. Somehow, I think "
Tiffany finally noticed Michelle wasn't moving. What's the hold up? "Hey- Ah a mouse!" She screamed- no wait she had been such a coward this whole day! She will show Michelle she wasn't a coward this body's instincts would not sway her. "I'll get it!" She started trying to stomp it, despite her tail getting in the way of her movement.
Michelle growled as Tiffany started to stomp down at the little mouse- quite the polite thing it had proved so endearing, or at least flattering to her ego. How could Tiffany be so cruel, to stamp out her life?
-"TIFF?!"- The voice was both heard and felt inside the changed girl. She bolted onto Tiffany's legs. "-WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?! STOP!- THATS MINE!" The psychic sound echoed through the forest, causing a sudden silence to spread as the kitsune took ownership of the area. Woodland creatures freezing for a moment, waiting, until the danger had passed. Michelle's muzzle twists into a snarl as she stares at the squirrel before her, her eyes blazing with fury as her tails start to glow just a little more
Tiffany froze.. fearful herself, of just what she heard. The power Michelle had was unbelievable and she dared not challenge it...She felt submissive before such a voice and- she couldn't move.
The mouse suddenly jumped onto Tifanny's tail. It was enough to break the spell and Tiffany finally managed to speak. "Ow hey- P-Please just get off me!" She felt strange as.. something... something was happening, that weird static was bubbling inside her and...
Belle giggled. "This is fun- ow!" she blinked as the mouse got zapped by.. something.
"Huh? Who said that- Uh-"
Belle then tumbled back to the ground. "That was fun!" she giggled brushing away the strange static on her fur as it jumped about her small form.
Tiffany blinked. "You- talk?!" she tensed a little looking back to Michelle who still looked angry at her. "I- I'm so sorry!" she .. she almost.. killed.. Tiffany looked so saddened, her ears fell flat. Her tail limp on the ground. No wonder Michelle went all godly wrath on her.
Michelle paused at the apology, the glowing energy died down as the fox-woman blinked once more, then again it felt so intense. The demonstration of power... she had not mean to look so aggressive but... it seemed she could be..
Belle however brushed the near loss of her life aside. "That's okay, it would be interesting to be eaten by a magical creature. I only get to live about two more summers you know so I'm hardly bothered about it. Anyway, I will happily send you tributes! I know lots of mice that will.. maybe even others. Please do stay here! Your strange squirrel friend is welcome to the nuts too "
"I don't eat nuts!" Though now that she thought of them... It.. felt kinda.. warming, the idea of having a nibble on those- "Urgh!" She fumed. More instincts causing more changes to her mind. They needed to find a cure before she ended up crawling on the trees for her next meal.
Belle however started to change. Slowly she grew... larger. The two creatures observed as the mouse- the ordinary field mouse, started to becoming bigger and more humanoid. Fur receeded as it became more human in appearance. Her skin was a dusky brown, matching the state of her previous fur, though her hair was distinctively different as a golden yellow almost white. It was cut rather short though, emphasising her large mouse-ears, brown eyes, and a rather fair face. Very innocent as she crawled with some confusion of her new huge form. Her breasts were small, about an A-cup size.
"What did you do now Tiff?" said Michelle.
Tiffany looked unsure. "I- I didn't..."
"Well it's better then turning a human into a hair-band. You just turned a mouse human- well human-ish."
Belle slowly stood up in her nude form. "I- I'm human?" She asked confused. "Oh I see, this is so I can better help you, right?" She smiled endearingly. "Thank you!" She hugged Tiffany.
Tiffany blanched at being hugged by a naked girl. "Y-Your welcome?" Then another zap and suddenly, the mouse had clothes. They just appeared on her, a simple blue dress that almost matched Tiffany's.
Belle understood now. She yes she understood. she approached Michelle and humbly bowed. "I will be your herald mistress," she said humbly. "All animals will know of you I promise!"
"Well...we just want to get back to a human town at the moment," said the fox-woman.
Belle glanced to Tiffany then back to Michelle. Tiffany must be serving her... "I will guide you mistress. My great grandfather was from the human town, and told me the stories of their bountiful foods. Just follow me "
