Brittany is sitting in the passenger seat of Alice's car, they are still parked at the clinic.
Alice has her feet on Brittany's lap who is painting her toenails. She is also wearing the shoes Brittany gave to her as she could no longer wear them herself.
"I don't think I should be doing this with the deadline I have at midday" Brittany said to Alice, in a somewhat annoyed tone seeing as they only have approximately an hour and a half.
"I've been told its dangerous to drive until my toes have completely set, believe me my toenails will dry quicker" Alice responded casually. "Don't worry though, we'll have plenty of time."
"Are you sure you don't want me to drive?" Brittany suggested.
"You don't have any toes, that's pretty dangerous" Said Alice.
"Right now I don't care" Said Brittany.
"Okay look, the mall is a just a five-ten minute walk up the road." Suggested Alice.
Brittany sighed "Fine"
"Just give my another five minutes for my toenails to dry." Said Alice to an irritated Brittany.
Five minutes have passed and they are on their way to the mall, both of them walking on the heels of their feet. Alice had took off the pair of shoes she had received from Brittany and left them in the car.
As they entered the shopping mall, Brittany was starting to get uncomfortable at the looks she'd get at her feet. To make things worse they enter the first shoe shop they come across because Alice wanted to try on new shoes.
"I just want to try on some things" Alice said. "I have to be careful though, I have to wait an hour or two for my toes to set properly otherwise they may fall off".
"I'll just sit outside since there isn't really anything for me right now." Brittany said.
Time flies by for a little while longer until Alice comes out with a bag full of shoes she had just purchase, it felt like longer than it was.
"Great, we can finally leave" Brittany says.
"Okay" Alice response happily "Just got to show you something first". Brittany sighs.
They go down some stairs and they eventually reach a shop that seems to be hidden from the rest of the others.
"Alt-Mart?" Brittany reading the sign in front of the store.
Alice takes Brittany by the arm and they go into the store. They enter and it looks just like an ordinary pharmacy.
"This is where I get my products" Alice smile with her eyes fixated at a calender she had just picked up.
"Products?" Brittany asked, still unsure of what this store is.
"Body changing products, you saw some shit this morning at the clinic I would bet. Well here is everything you need in that area" Alice said.
This really was a crazy day for Brittany and it just seems to have gotten more and more weird. Alice gave the calender to her and walked off leaving Brittany standing near the entrance looking through the calender. It has some weird photos which she would hope is photo-shopped but since this morning, could believe otherwise. One such photo includes a woman posing in a sexy manner but her feet are shaped like high heeled shoes even with the stiletto being skin-colored and part of the foot. Scary.
One stood out to her though, was a young woman dress as a cheerleader. With the white knee-high socks tied into a knot at the ends of them where toes should be. She seemed to also have missing toes, though the girl was still attractive and smiling. Despite seeing someone else be seemingly 'happy' with their loss, Brittany still wants her toes back.
So she goes looking for Alice since they don't have much time left, she find her sitting down barefoot near some of the foot creams, still with her shoes off.
"Alright Alice, we really should get back to the apartment now"
"Okay, just give me 20 minutes" Alice said looking down at bottles and tubes, then handed her car keys to Brittany.
"I have to be there in 20 minutes!" Brittany started to get pissed off. "I don't want to take any risks"
"That's not really my problem" Alice said nonchalantly.
"Not your problem?" Brittany paused and the stomped and stomped over Alice's feet, then her toes all fell off. She then stormed off.
"Hey!" Alice alarmed, picking up her painted toes that have fallen off while trying to get up. "You have to pay for that!". She chases after Brittany, running on the back of her heels.
Brittany seemed to have outran Alice on the way to the car, despite the lack of toes. She uses the keys Alice gave to her to open the car. She quickly started up the car and tried her best to drive even though she can't use her toes. She had to find answers, she need to know.
Brittany was frightened at the idea that the human foot is treated like an accessory. That they can be modified and rearranged to fit anyone's desires. She had never known of this or even knew that there are women who can (and even want to) change the shape of their feet without there seeming to be any bones or blood, even pain.
She arrives safely at the apartment, with the aid of the address written on the envelope. She pushes the button at the front and she waits. In less than a minute a man in black clothing comes down to greet her.
"You are Brittany, yes?" He says to her.
"Yeah that's me" Brittany says, caught off-guard. "Did you send me this?" She holds up the envelope she received at the clinic.
"You will meet the person very shortly" Says the man as he lets Brittany in. He remembers that she has no toes so he helps her up the stairs. They finally reach the right number and he opens the door. Brittany follows him into the familiar place which she remembers that morning but on the lounge she sees a woman sitting down.
"Welcome" She says to Brittany "Why don't you sit down?" The man places a chair facing the woman in front of the coffee table.
"What is it you want from me?" Brittany says in an angered tone.
"Nothing really" The woman on the lounge smiles. "I think I already got what I wanted from you." She slides her legs out from under the coffee table and places her slippered feet up on top with her soles facing Brittany.
"Recognize these?" The woman asks proudly as she removes the slippers from her feet, much to Brittany's shock.
That woman has 5 extra toes on each foot. Not only that but those extra toes were Brittany's.
She wiggles all twenty of her toes now that they are freed from her slippers.
