I tried to think of something that Karyn wouldn't object to, and then I remembered how much Karyn loved horses. I started thinking about horses I had seen and about what kind of stallion I would like to be. I also remembered that I wanted to keep my own mind this time! In a few seconds I started to feel my body changing and shifting again.
My hands starting changing into hooves first, with the center fingers starting to merge into a hard hoof and white hair growing over my arms. When my feet started changing I realized that I really should have done something about my clothes first, but by then it was a little late -- and thanks to Karyn, I couldn't make myself want to want to be my 'normal' human body to stop it. I half-fell forward onto my new forehooves as the pressure built in my pants until they finally split from my growing hindquarters. Likewise my t-shirt barely lasted seconds as my torso swelled and grew, with my shoulders changing to better support my weight on my forelegs. My neck and face grew, changed, became equine with the rest of me, leaving me looking down along my long, white hair covered face.
I blinked, snorted, and flicked my white tail. Everything looked smaller now -- Karyn was just barely taller than I was at the shoulder. My vision wavered a bit until I got used to it and I spent a few seconds flicking my ears about as I got used to them as well.
"Oh, wow!" Karyn gasped. "You're lovely!" She walked over slowly and stroked my shoulder. Unfortunately, I couldn't grin, but I turned my head around and nuzzled her hair. The scent of shampoo and perfumes momentarily distracted me from what she said next as I dealt with the strength of the smells. Karyn giggled as she brushed the remains of my underwear off my rump. "A big white stud, huh?"
When I first tried to speak, all that came out was a whinny. I decided I wanted to be able to speak normally and felt my throat change a little. "So how's this?" I said. My voice came out deep and mellow, echoing from my body and from within the back of my neck somewhere. "Happy?"
"Oh yeah!" She grinned and hugged my neck. "Mmm. A talking horse. Not sure I like that -- it's so weird!" Her fingers ran through my mane, then reached up and scratched my ears. After a moment, she grabbed my mane in her hand, which really didn't hurt, and had jumped and swung herself on my back before I could react. "Almost too tall for me to do that!" I felt her legs squeeze my sides as her weight settled on my back.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" I sputtered, trying to look back at her. I flicked my tail over my back, just barely able to tickle her with the ends.
"Hush! I just want a ride, that's all." I heard her opening the box again.
"Uh, Karyn, what are you going to do?" I felt my ears perk up with my alarm.
Karyn ignored me and started saying, "I wish..."
