[Pig Girl TF, Bimbofication, Humiliation, Sluttification]



The Tri-City Schools Raid Trip. Kiryuin Satsuki's plan to overthrow and absorb three other prominent schools in Japan, all for the sake of furthering her plans. And yet it had all come crashing down.



The assault on Osaka went awry. Her forces routed, and when she took to the field to try and overpower the enemy using Junketsu, they had plans for that as well. Resulting in her ending up under the heel of one of Honnoji Academy's expelled students.



Maiko Oogure. She was rightfully identified as a threat to their plans and expelled, yet she returned. As the Lynchpin of the Naniwa Kinman High School forces. Using what she knew about traps and her intimate knowledge of Honnoji to her advantage, turning what would've been certain victory into a crushing defeat, all thanks to the money that the head of the school, Kaneo Takarada, was willing to spend on all of this.



It was thanks to her traps that Satsuki ended up losing Junketsu. Now, the Kamui clung to the girl that had lured Satsuki into her trap. The image of Junketsu being worn by somebody else as that very same person dug her heel into Satsuki's head was an image that she wouldn't be forgetting any time soon...



With that, Honnoji fell. Takarada's forces moved in, and the rest of the student body was powerless to fight against his hordes, or too greedy to act against the money that he offered them in exchange for their unconditional surrender. And yet, that wasn't enough.



They still wanted to humiliate her for her efforts. Because how else would they prove their victory? Satsuki understood, no matter how much she hated the idea of it.



All she could do was bide her time and find a way to get back at them. No matter how long it would take...



---



"Haha! Look at you, Satsuki! Without this Kamui, you're even weaker than I was! Especially after we snapped that blade of yours in two!"



In the middle of Honnoji Academy's grounds, a wooden platform had been assembled. Nothing fancy, yet still utterly impossible to look away from. One of the reasons why was because of Maiko standing on top of it with her Junketsu-enhanced body on full display, allowing many of the male students to enjoy a sight like no other. Especially since she was incredibly shapely and curvy compared to the dull-looking girl she had been while she was making traps at Honnoji...



The main reason, however, was the sight of a chained-up Satsuki walking onto the stage. She really wasn't wearing anything at this point aside from the chains that were used to bind her. Yet she maintained an air of dignity that betrayed her current erotic appearance.



Satsuki refused to humor Maiko's taunts, her eyes gazing towards the ginger-haired bastard that had used his money to outmaneuver her with his numbers. Kaneo Takarada, grinning with those big gold teeth of his...



"Even the strongest fall in the face of cold hard cash." Kaneo laughed, before turning towards the crowd that had gathered in front of the platform, as well as the many that were looking out from the classrooms facing inward towards the academy grounds. "And fall she will! And it's all thanks to you, for betraying her for nothing more than money!"



Nobody in the audience showed any kind of remorse over what they had done. And considering the way that they had been treated by the higher ranked students, the ones that donned the starred uniforms, it wasn't a surprise either. But Satsuki didn't falter. It didn't matter if she had support or not. She would still act according to her will.



"Do your worst." Satsuki said, kneeling down onto the platform. Not giving them the satisfaction of tossing her around when she knew what was coming. Torture and imprisonment, and worse given the type of people the two associated with.



A burst of laughter left Maiko's lips as Satsuki tried to act so sure of herself. "Worst? You really think that we're going to do something that'll make you go down as a martyr, a tragic figure whose image would remain pure to the secret supporters? I'm not falling for that trap."



"That's right." Takarada took over as he walked in front of Satsuki, slipping his hand into his coat before pulling out a four pronged star-looking patch. Not unlike the stars that were attached to many Honnoji Academy students' Goku Uniforms. Yet this one had a pink hue, and it had a curly pig tail attached to it...



The rich bastard smugly spun the star around using the twirled tail, laughing a little as he turned towards Satsuki. "Oogure went through the trouble of making sure that we got rid of your supporters. Especially the ones in the sowing club. And what do we find in their clubroom but all the materials we need to make a uniform of our own?"



Satsuki didn't say a thing, though she did twitch in response to the thought of more of her allies having been disposed of. Yet, she remained strong in the face of danger. Even if that star did send a few worrying sparks through her system...



"This bad boy will make sure that you'll experience true shame. The kind that you'll never recover from, the kind that'll make sure all of your supporters abandon you. Consider it my gift to my dear Oogure, after she did so much to aid me." Takarada bowed his head slightly in his associate's direction, who couldn't help but laugh from the flattery...



Right before he slapped the pink star onto Satsuki's body. Letting it stick right above her asscrack, almost immediately latching itself onto her. The life fibers that made up the 'uniform' were already trying to bond with her, not unlike Junketsu when it got particularly violent...



Though her butt started jiggling ever slightly in response to the way she was slapped, Satsuki remained strong. She would not falter. Even though she now had an adorably curly pig tail right above her butt. Even though she was bound in chains. She would not give in.



"Say goodbye to all that pride, Satsuki! You'll be squealing in shame once it's done with you!"



Maiko tugged on the twirled tail, and the life fibers kicked into overdrive. Spreading out from the star, each strand glowing bright pink as they quickly started to wrap around the defiant girl. Really squeezing into her body, especially her curves...



Curves that seemed to grow bigger before her eyes. Her thighs especially, each growing so thick they outsized her head... And the gap between her shoulders too. An egregiously plump and delicious pair of thighs...



Which went together perfectly with her bubbly butt. The strands that were digging into her cheeks did absolutely nothing to stop that butt from bouncing and jiggling, with Satsuki finding herself unable to stop moaning as the Life Fibers grew strained in an attempt to stop her bubbly cheeks from bouncing...



Those moans only continued as she felt the life fibers dig into her chest. Those breasts of hers were a pride of hers, yes, but they were nothing compared to the udders that were currently growing before her eyes. Each bigger than her head, each looking so meaty that she could probably be confused for a cow if she wasn't careful with how she portrayed herself...



Not that she got dwell on her appearance for too long, before the fibers ended up wrapping around her lips. The pink Life Fibers seemingly leaking their color onto her lips as they went from plain to deep pink, especially as those very same lips started to plump out further and further. She would have difficulty keeping them from being pursed into a submissive smile, one that contrasted the real way she carried herself...



Satsuki's curves weren't the only parts of her body that changed. The Life Fibers also managed to weave in between the strands of her hair, gradually turning her bed of black hair a bubbly and ditzy shade of pink, all while curling her hair around until she was left with two pigtails that were twirling around themselves like a pair of actual pigtails...



Another moan left her lips as she felt the Life Fibers sink deeper into her. Something that was easy to tell, thanks to the way that her body started to glow. PORK written across her breasts, with two letters on each breast, and LARD sharing the same sort of real estate on her bubbly butt. PIGGY BANK materialized right over her crotch moments later, an arrow happily pointing down towards her slickened and wet pussy...



Satsuki could feel her will wavering as the Life Fibers toyed with her like this. But she would remain strong. Even as those very same Fibers started to expand, as they joined together to make sure that she was clad in the right kind of clothing...



If the lettering and degrading words on her body didn't make it obvious enough, then her brand new outfit certainly did.



A pink headband with glowing pig ears stuck out of her hair. A pair of cutesy ribbons that matched her hair perfectly, with pig heads made from the plushiest material holding the ribbons together. A pink piggy prop nose covering up her real nose, fitting for the pig that she truly was. Something that was only emphasized by her 'SOW' choker, as well as the round hoop earrings hanging from her ears, with 'OINK' engraved upon them...



If one were to look down from her head, they wouldn't see much. Satsuki was wearing pink gloves that went all the way up to her elbows, while ending in only three fingers to make her look that much more piggish. Combine that with her thigh-high high-heel boots that also ended up looking like a set of hooves, and the only thing she wore below her bustline just made her look that much more like a pig.



A real slutty pig at that, if one were to take her makeup into account. Longer eyelashes, black eyeliner and pink eye-shadow, all going together perfectly with her extra pink cocksuckers. Ones that were already getting nice and wet just by Satsuki sitting there...



"Here we are! Honnoji's brand new mascot! Sowtsuki the Naked Piggy Princess!"



Maiko's announcement coincided with Sowtsuki's transformation coming to an end. And while Sowtsuki wasn't bound in chains any longer, since the Life Fibers had dealt with them to ensure that the transformation would go as smoothly as possible, that didn't mean that she took advantage of her freedom...



If anything, her body being left completely bare like this actually filled Sowstuki with shame. They were all gazing upon her ridiculous body. She couldn't believe that she would end up like this, much less in front of everyone...



"*Oink!* Turn Sowtsuki back!" Sowtsuki cried out, only to cover up her mouth with her 'hooves' as she realized what she just said. "*Snort!* What is the meaning of this?! Why can't I say Sowtsuki!? Sowtsuki! Sowtsuki Sowtsuki Sowtsuki!"



No matter how many times Sowtsuki tried to repeat her own name, all she ended up doing was sounding more and more ridiculous. Both due to the contrast of the formerly high and mighty Satsuki sounding like a slut who didn't get her way, but also because of the piggy noises that kept on slipping past her lips...



"How do you like it, Oogure? I made sure that the boys cooked up something so humiliating that even she couldn't fight against it!" Takarada laughed alongside all the others. "The Naked Piggy Princess in all of her squealing glory! Unable to think of herself as anything other than Sowtsuki, because she's never been anything else!"



Maiko grinned as she firmly grasped Sowtsuki's rump, causing the humiliated girl to let out a squeal in turn. "You heard the man, 'Sowtsuki'. Don't worry, you'll get used to it. Especially once everyone gets the chance to use that Piggybank down there!" She joined in with everyone else, their laughter turning into a cacophonous orchestra...



Sowtsuki let out embarrassed squeals and gasps as everyone just kept on laughing. She couldn't recognize a single face, but she could see the way all the males' pants were straining. They were all thinking of Sowtsuki like that. They were all.. all of them... each and every last one of them..!



"*Squeal!* Stop looking at Sowtsuki!! Stop! *Oink*!" Sowtsuki cried out, embarrassment filling her body completely as she finally wrestled herself free from Maiko's grip. She got back on her feet as quickly as she could as she tried to run away...



Not that she got far before she fell over thanks to the unwieldy nature of her extra curvy body and her incredibly high heels. But she still tried, because the only other option was to face the laughter coming her way...



All Sowtsuki could do to preserve what little dignity she still had left... Was run away, like an embarrassed sow...



---



"Look who it is. That's a much better look for you, 'President'. Oops, I guess that's Naked Piggy Princess now, isn't it?"



Unfortunately, Sowtsuki simply wasn't able to escape. Despite how far she had run, Maiko quickly caught up to her. And once she got her hands on the sow, she took her to her new home. A small shack that had been constructed on school grounds, one that looked like the spitty image of a pigsty. And the one to greet her once she had been dropped off by the girl that stole her Kamui was all too familiar...



Suzuki. A former no-star student that had been hung up for the crime of trying to steal another student's uniform, now dressed to impress in his new role as her caretaker. Which really just amounted to a straw hat and a pair of overalls. Given the sadistic grin on his face, he was relishing the chance to make the powerful girl pay for what she and her subordinates had done to him...



"*Squeal!* Sowtsuki not a piggy! Sowtsuki better than that, oink!" Despite the fact that Sowtsuki couldn't think of herself as anything but Sowtsuki, she adamantly refused to give in. No matter how obvious her sowhood was. No matter how hard it was to actually fight back against her new state...



Especially as she felt a certain hunger growing in the pit that was her stomach. An intense hunger that immediately made the pink-haired sow drool, her eyes darting all over the place as she quietly snorted. She could smell something... Something awful, yet something that had such a rich odor that she couldn't help but crave. She wanted it. She needed it...



"I see you're starting to get hungry. Good, I'd be disappointed if I had to take care of a Sow that didn't know how to feed." Suzuki laughed, before motioning towards the manger a little bit behind him. A manger that was filled to the brim with some form of slop. An incredibly messy looking meal with a scent that would be off putting to most people...



Once Sowtsuki locked her eyes onto the manger, it was impossible for her to not run towards it. Not even tripping over herself thanks to her curvaceous body stopped her from crawling towards the manger and sticking her head into the slip. Devouring it quicker than she ever expected to...



It was like a switch flicked inside her head. One that dominated all of her thoughts. If she was listening to Suzuki, he might've explained more about that instinct she now had as a sow. But she just kept on eating more and more, until there was nothing left..



And yet her stomach still rumbled. The Sow had eaten so much, and yet she still wanted even more. Causing her to squeal and whine, shaking her rump as she felt her nethers heating up. Whatever the slop was made from, it made her even more aroused than all those eyes staring at did...



"That's a good Sow! I hope you enjoyed all that slop, it's got the finest Aphrodisiac that money can buy as well as plenty of nutritional ingredients to make it extra filling. All so that hungry belly of yours'll stay satisfied!" Suzuki laughed, before tapping the dispenser that was meant to push out more slop into the manger. "All you gotta do to get more is drink straight from the tap. But there's a catch. You gotta pump it out yourself."



A moan left Sowtsuki's lips as she suddenly felt something slot into her needy holes. And as a result, her eyes locked onto the phallic dispenser that she was meant to 'pump'. She didn't understand completely, but her sow instincts took over and did most of the work.



The pink-haired sow wrapped her plump cocksuckers around the shaft of the dispenser, all while gradually bouncing up and down to deal with the things that had slotted into her. Unaware that she was currently pumping a pair of vibrating dildos up and down.



With how horny Sowtsuki was, with how hungry she was, she really didn't think much about what she was doing. The only thing she really thought about was satisfying her needs. And the more that she pumped up and down, the more food she was given. Food that made sure that she would eventually make that hole in her stomach fill up...



Suzuki was treated to the wonderfully humiliating sight of the former President bouncing up and down on fake cocks, all while sucking off another that helped feed her with all that slop. He was this close to actually just stroking his own cock through his overalls at this point, because that's how good the show was. After everything she had done to him and people like him, he felt entitled to indulge... Yet he just kept watching. Seeing if she would notice...



A few minutes passed, and only then did Sowtsuki start to slow down. Amidst several more squeals and gasps, snorting up the wonderfully awful scent of the slop that was secreting from the dispenser, she finally started to notice what was going on...



And Sowtsuki was struck by an untold amount of shame, causing her to instinctively bounce even more. Her shame fed into her pleasure, and her pleasure drove her to eat more. Because she was aware that she was spearing herself on these cocks and sucking off a phallic dispenser, she just wanted it more. An effect of her new life as a Sow, for sure...



One that she had a lot of difficulty trying to fight back against, especially as she felt her entire body shaking all over once she was struck by a climax. A satisfied squeal left her lips as she popped her mouth off the dispenser, and fell onto her back. The satisfying sound of both vibrating dildos popping out of both her ass and her pussy echoing out, only to be overwritten by the incredibly shameful *Uuuuurp!* that left her lips...



She didn't want to burp because she had satisfied herself. But she couldn't stop. Nor could she stop herself from rubbing her belly, which was currently engorged thanks to how much she had swallowed. It'd all vanish before long, she was sure of it. But the warmth that came with a good meal...



The warmth... No, this wasn't warmth. It was heat. She felt far hotter than she should. Sweat poured down her body as she squealed once more. "*Oink!* N-Need... Sowtsuki needs a bath!" She cried out as she struggled to get back onto her feet, though her belly did absolutely nothing to help her in that regard. All she could do was get up on all fours...



And let out yet another pleasure-filled squeal as Suzuki slapped her on the ass. "A bath? Don't you worry, Naked Piggy Princess. I've got just the thing for Sow Royalty like yourself!" He laughed, as he attached a leash to her collar. All so he could guide her into one of the other rooms in the pigsty...



Thankfully for Sowtsuki, he was actually telling the truth. There was a very large bathtub in this room, complete with a shower that she could use to rinse herself. And though she felt too bloated to pull herself into the tub, he proved himself to be stronger than he looked...



The way his hand sunk into her curves not helping her with her arousal at all, but it was a very brief experience. Once she was in the tub itself, as tight as it turned out to be given her extra fat thighs and asscheeks, she thought she might actually get to relax and get clean.



Sowtsuki should know better at this point. Moments after she got comfortable in the tub, Suzuki turned on the flow of 'water'. Which really wasn't water at all, it was a thick stream of extremely thick mud. Perfect for a sow like her. Especially as it started to very nearly bury her in the tub from how quickly it was pouring onto her.



She squealed. She snorted. And she thrashed around in an attempt to get out of the tub. All while Suzuki laughed at the sight of her trying to escape like she wasn't meant to be in the mud.



"Don't worry, Naked Piggy Princess. You'll get used to the mud soon. It's supposed to make you extra fresh and clean without leaving a trace. At least, that's what the big man told me when he talked about all the expenses he pulled out for Honnoji's new mascot."



Suzuki's words went unheard because Sowtsuki was too busy trying to thrash around, yet she slowly started to simply lay in the mud. Maybe even shaking around a bit in it. All thanks to how good it felt against her skin.



Whether it was because of how sensitive she had become, or because the mud was actually good for her, Sowtsuki couldn't help but start rubbing the mud all over herself. Especially down there, her gloved hand diving underneath the surface of the mud as she actively started to masturbate. It didn't matter that he was staring. What mattered was that she felt even more pleasure from being in the mud...



So much pleasure that it hardly took anywhere near as long for her to climax as it had when she was sucking off the dispenser. Causing her to quietly collapse into the mud, gasping and squealing in delight as she forgot most of what was happening around her...



Just quietly slipping off into dreamland, as she enjoyed the sensation of the mud keeping her nice and warm and aroused. The perfect state of being for a sow like her...



---



"That's it, that's it! Keep making those cheeks clap, Naked Piggy Princess! Gotta make tomorrow's crowd happy!"



Sowtsuki's cheeks flushed bright pink as her equally pink cheeks of LARD clapped against each other, all while she followed the rhythm pouring from that boombox that Suzuki had brought in for practice...



She was Honnoji Academy's mascot, after all. And since she was nothing more than a slutty sow, that meant she had to act like it. She had just finished trying out a stripper pole for the first time, something that had made her start rubbing her sloppy cunt into the thick metal pole to satiate the need between her thighs, and now...



Well, Suzuki had called it 'Twerking'. And the music, which cycled between several ass-focused songs every few minutes, certainly helped bring her into the proper rhythm. But she still felt shame, no matter how good it felt to keep doing this.



"*Squeal!* Why must Sowtsuki keep clapping her bubblebutt together like this?! What's so good about this!? *Oink!*" She squealed in confusion, her body growing hotter and hotter the more that she kept on doing this. All while having his gaze locked on her...



The way he kept on looking at her like this... The way that he kept on egging her on... Just as he had done while she ate all that slop that made her so horny, just as he had done when she got smothered in all that mud... It was making it harder and harder to think, because even a single spectator was a spectator too many for her current self to handle...



"Just think about what all the others are going to think when they see you twerking for them, Sowtsuki! They're going to be cheering for you, much more than when you were a total tight-assed President! Heh, I bet you've never heard them cheer like that." Suzuki's taunting words were also encouraging in their own way, especially as he stood so close that he could nearly feel the air around him getting pushed away by the clap of Sowtsuki's asscheeks...



Sowtsuki couldn't stop herself from imagining what it would be like. All those prying stares... All those needy eyes staring right at her. So many strained sets of pants. So much mockery from the people that had been her enemies...



Another potent squeal left her lips, as Sowtsuki ended up climaxing just from her mental image running wild. To the point where she ended up falling forward, her tits breaking her fall as her ass ended up pushing into the air as a result. Still clapping, as her hips just refused to settle down despite what she had been doing. Her slutty body just refused to settle down no matter how many times she came. If anything, it was just making the situation that much worse...



On some level, Sowtsuki didn't want to make it stop. It just felt so good. To keep on cumming, to keep on pushing her real self further and further into the back of her mind as Sowtsuki cemented herself as the true Sowtsuki...



Sowtsuki slowly got back up, drool pouring into her cleavage as she started twerking once more. Her training wasn't over, because Suzuki hadn't told her to stop...



And since a cutie like him was her caretaker, she had to listen... Ehehe... Just had to keep twerking for him, until he started complimenting the sow again…





“You’ve been doing even better than I ever could’ve hoped for, Sowtsuki! It’s like Satsuki never existed!”



“Sowtsuki’s Sowtsuki! *Snort!* Don’t call Sowtsuki anything else!”



“You’re right, you’re right! Sorry, Sowtsuki! Now keep on making those cheeks clap, I want to see them red by the time we end today’s training!”



Sowtsuki giggled a little as she heard those wonderful words bounce through her ears. At this point, it had been a few days since she had ended up in Suzuki's possession. And she had truly fallen even further. Partly because of how badly the ‘Sow-Star Uniform’, as Takarada and Maiko had started calling it after seeing her perform on stage, affected her very being…



And partly because of Suzuki egging her on. No matter how many times she went through the same routine of getting fed, getting a nice mudbath and twerking until she was too tired to keep going, he was always there to rub it all in. And bit by bit, Sowtsuki started to enjoy it. Not just because of her instinct as a sow…



But because it was fun! It was fun dancing around on stage. It was fun having everyone watch this ditzy and slutty Naked Piggy Princess strut her stuff on stage, and then make sure that all that nice meat clapped for their amusement. She had been so reluctant at first, but because of their eyes, because of their mockery, her sow instincts kicked into high gear and turned shame into delight…



Delight that was only emphasized more by Suzuki continuing his act of rubbing in her status as a sow. His continued way of reminding her that she was nothing more than a Naked Piggy Princess. Especially when she did good. Whether that was through eating everything that he had prepped for her, or splashing around in her muddy tub. Or, like she was doing now, giving him such a good show…



That last part was especially important, because every time that Suzuki grabbed ahold of her LARD of an ass, she could feel her shame, her pride and her inhibitions just melting away. Satsuki was already so far in the back of her mind, but the way he played with her buried her even deeper inside her psyche. All while the slutty sow simply squealed like she was meant to.



"You're squealin' real nice, Sowtsuki. It almost makes me want to give you a little snack." Suzuki said, as he started to reach down towards his overalls. He could just pull his clothes off right then and there. He could indulge... "But you've got your job as the Naked Piggy Princess, and I've got my job as your caretaker. Can't have me fuckin' your brains out all day if you're gonna be showing off to everyone." As much as the idea enticed him, he felt a little doubt.



Sowtsuki could hear it in his voice. And as a result, she slammed her ass against the boombox that let all that music pour out. They'd have to get a new one since her rump-strike managed to break it in one fell swoop, but that could come later.



"*Oink!* Sowtsuki doesn't like what Suzuki's saying." She said, pouting with those big cocksuckers of hers as she climbed onto the bed. Pressing him against the bed as her 'Piggy Bank' now pressed up against his crotch, her pussy already leaking plenty of needy juices... "*Squeal!* Sowtsuki can be everyone's Piggy Princess… And Sowtsuki can also be Suzuki's Girlfriend!"



While Suzuki had been the one in control for most of Sowtsuki's stay in the pigsty, and while he had enjoyed the sight of her showing off to everyone with how much it degraded her and reminded her of her brand new role... Now, the shoe was on the other foot.



A bright red blush filled Suzuki's cheeks as Sowtsuki wrapped her arms around him and kissed him. Over and and over. Planting kiss after kiss on his adorable face and smearing pink lipstick onto it. All while she felt his cock growing harder and harder as it pressed against her 'Piggy Bank'...



Until she kissed him right on the lips. And he simply couldn't hold on any longer. He cried out as his cock managed to pull itself free from his overalls, and the tip neatly slotted straight into her hungry hole. All while he wrapped his arms around her as well. Her sow body was too much for him to endure, too much for him to ignore..!



"You... A sow like you, calling me your boyfriend?" Suzuki panted and gasped as he made sure to lock eyes with her so that she could see the hearts that had formed in his. "Then I'd better make love to you like the sow that you are! It's what you deserve, my Piggy Princess!"



"*Oink!* Love Sowtsuki lots, Boyfriend!" Sowtsuki squealed in delight as he grabbed onto her and started thrusting. The love that had bloomed between them started to fill the pigsty, the sounds of meat meeting meat echoing out...



Suzuki never imagined that he would end up falling in love with the girl that had caused him so much grief. But with how obedient she had been, with how horny she had been, it was only a matter of time before he'd lose himself like this. The love was just a sweet cherry on top of it all...



Sowtsuki could barely even care about her old self at this point. With how much she had eaten, with how much she had bathed in that disgustingly refreshing mud, with how much of her reputation had been clapped away by her ass when she twerked and danced in front of the other Honnoji students... She couldn't even bother trying to conceptualize what she had once been.



Right now, she was a Sow. She was Sowtsuki. The ditzy and sexy horny sow that served as the new mascot for Honnoji. And more importantly...



She was Suzuki's Girlfriend! Now he could finally fuck her like she always wanted him to! Allowing her to squeal into the night, as the love between them continued to escalate...



Satsuki Kiryuin had fallen so far. And in return, Sowtsuki had found love in a pigsty... What a happy ending...
