Contains girl to animal tf, girl to doll tf, and hypnosis
“Because it’s hokey,” came the mildly bitter retort as two friends exited a local game store.
“But Dani, what’s the difference between this and your magic?” Pouted Chloe, a delightfully naive yes-man to Danielle. She wore her blonde hair up in a loose ponytail and dressed in a brightly colored sundress and wide hat adorned with a white ribbon. She was fascinated in all things magical, and came across as a little dim to others, but she always meant well.
Danielle would’ve spat her drink if she had one, “What’s the difference between phony hypnosis and my magic?” She asked incredulously, her offended tone not seeming to register with Chloe, who only nodded in reply. Dani was mostly an average girl, a little on the tall side, shaggy brown hair that sometimes fell in her face, and favored a grey jacked with purposefully frayed shoulders. The one major thing to set her apart from the crowd was her magical abilities. Dani was something of a witch with an affinity towards transformative magic, something in which she took a great amount of pride. Hearing it compared to hypnosis, which she considered to be amongst the hack stage magic that discredited her own genuine abilities caused her to get defensive. “I’ll show you the difference,” she grumbled, looking around to find a… volunteer. She spotted a woman seated nearby around the side of an antique store. She looked to be in her thirties, and wore a bright red dress and shades with an expensive looking purse draped over the side. Dani murmured something under her breath and gestured to the woman, who sat up with a jolt as though someone had poured ice water down the back of her neck.
Paula had gone out for a stroll to show off her recent hair style change and to do a little shopping, but now she found herself with a serious case of stiff joints. She couldn’t move a muscle. And to make matters worse, her mouth was paralyzed too, making it rather difficult to call for help. The only thing freed were her eyes, which darted frantically to and fro, trying to assess the situation. She really hoped someone would come play with her soon. Wait… what? What was that thought for? She wasn’t some stupid dolly for a little girl to play with and dress up and let’s go shopping! Wh-what was happening to her?
From Dani and Chloe’s vantage point, the woman began to steadily shrink as her skin took on a glossy shine. Her legs began to forcibly straighten but for a slight bend in the knee, with her arms following suit. Her forced smile betrayed none of the true thoughts raging in her head as more and more those phrases interrupted her panic.
Let’s be best friends! No! I’m not-
I’m a dolly! Won’t you play with me? Stop it shut-
Let’s go shopping! …someone… help… m-
Let’s play!
Let’s play!
Let’s be best friends!
Dani fished the fully plastic doll made in a certain woman’s image out of the pile of abandoned clothes and waved it in front of Chloe, “That’s the difference.” She asserted, stowing the doll in her purse.
“Oh… maybe you’re afraid?” Chloe ventured, causing Dani to stop in her tracks. “If you’re afraid hypnosis might work and make your magic less special… I get it,” she offered.
She was being genuine, trying to console her friend, which only made it worse as far as Danielle was concerned, “Like hell! You n me cupcake, my place, tonight! Let’s see what your nonsense hypnosis can do!” She declared, storming off.
7 o’clock. She’ll be here any minute. Dani paced her living room, having worked herself up over this. What will she turn Chloe into for this once her ridiculous hypnosis crap fails? Maybe a chicken, thats the classic stage hypno gimmick. Maybe she’ll spend a week as a new pair of boots. Or maybe-
Her pre-vengeful thoughts were interrupted with the excitable knock of Chloe. Dani opened the door for her, a look of grim determination on her face. Chloe on the other hand practically pranced into the room, setting down her bag of mystic items, or mumbo jumbo as Dani usually referred to it. There were crystals and pendants, books on the subject of relaxation states and suggestibility, etc. Danielle simply plopped on the couch, “Alright, let’s get this over with!“ she called. Chloe took her time setting her self up on the chair across from dani, laying out things on the table.
“Okay! Now, hypnosis is all about trust and relaxation yknow? So it won’t work unless you give it a fair shake,” she instructed, getting serious for a moment.
Dani rolled her eyes but eventually promised to take it seriously and trust her friend, and not interrupt the process. She sat up a little taller and focused on Chloe as she began.
“Okay, now just get comfy and breathe for me,” she spoke in a level, calming tone. It was actually rather nice, maybe Chloe could make one of those ASMR channels she sees online.

“…Two… coming more aware… and one, wake up now,” Chloe’s voice pulled her from her hazy thoughts. Danielle sat up and wiped her mouth. Had she dozed off?
“Sorry, Chloe, better luck next time,” she… tried to say. What she actually said was closer to a loud “Moooooooooo!” In her own voice’s best attempt at mimicking a cow. The sound was startling. There was no way. This wasn’t possible this wasn’t- “Moo!? Moooo!!” She shot Chloe a shocked expression, grasping her throat to try and catch the mooing before it left her mouth.
Chloe clapped her hands together, giggling, “Guess it’s more real than you thought huh Dani?” She pressed, before snapping her fingers again, “Sleep.”
Dani’s mind emptied itself. No panic, no mooing, just gentle relaxation. Letting herself be adrift with Chloe as her guide.
“Alright I’ve had my fun…” Chloe took a deep breath to begin bringing Danielle back up out of trance, but she hesitated. Her friend really did like to brag about her magic and Chloe admired her for it, but the way she railed against hypnosis… maybe she could milk her his a little longer. No pun intended! Giggling at her own joke, she began to speak again.
The gentle voice breached Danielle’s tranquil floating. The guide, Chloe telling her more nice things. Floating… grazing on grass… that sounded pleasant. Walking on all fours like a big happy cow. Happy. Grass. Moo.
When Danielle awoke next, her mind was groggy, chugging through fog like molasses, but her body was already up and onto the floor, walking around aimlessly on all fours. She let out a hearty “Mooooooo” much less focused and surprised this time. Why was she doing this? She wasn’t a big happy cow… she was uhm… she was…
“Having fun Dani?” Chloe giggled
Dani! She was dani, not a cow. God, what was happening to her? That was close! What’s that jerk Chloe saying now? Grazing? Udders? That’s ridiculous! I’m a witch not a Happy Cow! I don’t graze on yummy grass and… have big udders… need milk… “Mooo….”
Chloe continued bombarding Danielle with suggestions even as she didn’t realize it. Soon enough, Danielle was asleep again. “Okay okay okay… one more and then I’m done,” she promised herself, wanting to record Danielle this time to show her later in case she denied it.
“You’ll awaken, truly believing yourself to be 100% cow… big, happy cow… udders, hooves, snout, everything.” She instructed.
Upon waking, Danielle looked around slowly. Something… off. Something not… “Mooooo,” she said, settling onto all fours. That felt a little better, but her hooves… hooves wrong… Magic began to flow through her to correct this. Her hands began to ball up and hardened into thick hooves. Much better… but still wrong. DaniCow still not right. She began to bulk up, gaining rapid weight and barreling out.
Chloe stared, awestruck, “Dani? What’s going on?” She breathed, unsure of why her friend was changing physically. Was her hypnosis that strong?
DaniCow looked lazily at ChloePerson and blinked, torn away from her focus, “Moooooooo,” she replied. Her face began to push out and widen into a snout, and she chewed a bit to get used to the proper teeth and tongue of a cow. It wasn’t until Chloe gripped the sides of her face and called for Danielle that a semblance of her old self broke through. A twinkle in her eyes returned and Danielle desperately tried to mentally plea with Chloe to undo this hypnosis before she went full cow! She could already feel it creeping back over her mind. She didn’t have her udders… but that’s because she wasn’t a cow! She was DaniCow? Daniel…cow? She was Da… Dani… she was…
Cow began to furrow her brow in an effort to understand why Person was talking to her so much. Person looked worried, maybe because Cow not udders full? Cow need udders need milk for Person… this problem rectified itself as her final changes brought her large, full udders, ready to be milked. She let out a “Moooooo!” To let Person know everything was fine now. Cow was back to normal.
Chloe stared at the Cow in Danielle’s living room as she waited for the number to answer, “Yes! Is this Barryfeld Farm? Yeah, yeah I do. You can pick her up today? Perfect!”
She hung up, “Don’t worry Dani, I’m sure a farmer will know how to take care of you better than I can.” She pet her nose, “I’ll come visit okay?”
Cow responded the only way she knew how, “Mooooo”
