“Um, I’m not really so sure this is a good idea.” Tiffany frowned, leaning forward to twirl the vial in her hand. It was just four of them: Tiffany, Becca, Allie, and Kate. They’d managed to get out for a weekend, the women happily to get away from college and have just a weekend with each other. They'd been from the same sorority before graduating, and their time at Delta Omicron Gamma really helped them bond with each other. That said, Tiffany wasn't sold on becoming an animal. Even though she took care of Allie and Kate when they'd transformed, she couldn't help but be a little apprehensive. She was a cheerleader, after all, and losing her toned form wasn't that appealing.
Becca smiled at the blonde patiently, patting her friend on her back. “It’ll be fine. Allie and Kate went through this just fine, right? And they’ll be here to help us with the rest of the transformations.” With that, she downed her own vial in one go, doing her best to hide her nervousness. She had no idea what type of dog she’d become, or how the changes would happen. All Allie and Kate had said was that ‘she’d like it’.
Becca was an unabashed nerd, from her thick glasses to her love for science fiction. It wasn’t that she disliked her life, but a huge part in her joining the sorority was to experience new things. And nothing could be newer than shapeshifting—though it left her more than a little apprehensive.
Still, it helped that Tiffany was also a little uneasy, and that Allie and Kate were going to change to the breeds they’d been before. The two experienced girls were using a delayed version of Transfun’s regular selection, while Tiffany and Becca were trying out the company’s ‘longer change’ line, so they could get used to their new bodies.
Never one to be outdone, Tiffany downed her vial a moment later, though she still looked very unsettled. “So, what now?” The blonde cheerleader asked, looking at Kate expectantly.
“Now, we wait!” She chirped happily, pulling out a pack of cards. She and Allie had already set out enough food for them to be good, so all that was left was to enjoy the changes.
It was halfway into their third game of euchre that Becca noticed something was amiss. “Uhm... You guys?” All eyes in the room turned to her, to find the quiet girl was sweating profusely. “I feel... Fluffy.” With that, her face sprouted a few inches of long fur, brown fur covering her face. She shook her head, frowning at the awkward sensation of her fur whipping back and forth.
“Guys, this is really weird, it’s like I’m itchy all over!” She scratched at her arms, then tried in vain to reach her back. Allie leaned over to scratch her, sating her need.
“Ah! I feel really itchy too!” Tiffany gasped, scratching madly at her arms as thick white fur sprouted from her skin. She glanced back over her tube top, finding that her back was growing brown fur. “Guys, I don’t know if I like this.” She muttered, scratching her hair. As her hand pulled away, a clump of her hair went with it. “Guys, I REALLY don’t like this. My hair’s falling out, and my head’s tingling...”
“That’s weird, my scalp’s tingling too, but it feels like my hair is pulling inwards!” Becca exclaimed. She always had short hair, so it wasn’t too much of a change. It was still uncomfortable, though, making her suddenly aware of the rest of the changes that were to come.
“Oh my god, your hair’s black!” Kate exclaimed, running her hands along Becca’s head. Becca could feel her previous tension ease form her body, her ears twitching slightly as they started to change. “Mmm, I think the changes are hitting my ears, too—but don’t stop!”
She added the last bit as a hurried afterthought. The changes were strange and unsettling, but on the other hand, it felt really good to be pet. Without that, she’d probably be freaking out a good deal more than she was.
Kate noticed the changes and began scratching Becca behind her dog-like ears, giggling softly as they became long enough to fold over.
Becca squeaked at the sensation. “Oh my God, I can feel my ears touching themselves!” Having Kate by her really helped her take things in stride.
On the other side of the room, Tiffany was close to hyperventilating, despite Allie’s best attempts.
“Um. Don’t think about how your ears now look really weird on your head, think about how cute they look flopping against your cheeks like that!” Allie offered, frantically doing her best to calm down the girl. “Here, look!” She opened up a pocket mirror, showing her friend her reflection.
“Oh my God, I look like something out of Star Trek!” Tiffany exclaimed, running her hands through the thick fur on her cheeks. She opened her mouth, whining as her canines became a little more pronounced.
Kate noticed the cheerleader’s eyes well up, and she scrambled over to Tiffany to scratch her behind her ears. “Jesus, Allie!” She said, glaring at her still-human friend.
Allie shrugged. “I never really had a knack for comforting people.” The green-haired girl shrugged, chuckling to herself as she snapped her mirror shut.
“Gee, I noticed.” Tiffany frowned, able to get a handle on her changes with a little help from Allie.
“Uhm, guys?” Becca raised a furry arm. “I feel funny.” She frowned, then yelped in surprise. “Ah, it feels like I’m being squished!” She fell on her back, her legs kicking in the air as she shrank in her clothes.
Her arms and legs flailed about as her clothes became baggy on her form, her shoes slipping off from her feet as she kicked her legs. She whined in distress, managing to slip out of her skirt-like shorts.
“We should help her!” Tiffany shouted, before falling to her knees. “Ah! It’s happening to me, too, but it’s like I’m... I’m growing!” She frowned in dismay as her chest barreled out, her torso expanding even as her breasts flattened. “Oh come on!” She exclaimed, her frown growing even wider. “I liked having those!”
“Yeah, but dogs don’t.” Allie grinned from ear to ear. “You’ll like it, trust me.” She nimbly darted down, pulling off the blonde’s shoes before her feet could damage them.
“I don’t know...” Tiffany’s voice was much deeper now, and her hands flew to her throat. “What’s happening now?”
Becca rolled over on to her stomach, watching as other girls seemed to grow larger. “Ooh, let me try!” Her own speech had a higher pitch to it, and she laughed with amusement. “Oh my God, it’s like I inhaled some helium!”
“See, Becca’s getting into it!” Allie grinned, rubbing her friend’s belly. “Oh, that’s so weird!” She gasped.
“What is?” Becca looked up at Allie, who now seemed to be twice her usual size.
“Well, with Tiffany, it was like her body expanded around her breasts—”
“Yeah, thanks for reminding me.” Tiffany interrupted, still frowning.
“No problem!” Allie chirped. “But with you, it’s like they’re sinking into your shrinking body.”
Becca tilted her head down. “Oh yeah, that is weird.” She patted down the fur where her breasts were, blinking a few times as she processed the new changes. She then moved her hands lower, confirming her suspicions. “Oh, wow, I’m growing teats! Neat!”
“Neat?” Tiffany arched her eyebrows, incredulous. “How are you okay with these changes? We’re becoming animals!” She shook her head for emphasis, her ears flopping from side to side.
“And? Being dogs is sooo good.” Allie scooted over to Tiffany, hugging her tightly and scratching her behind her ears. “Who’s a good girl?”
Tiffany’s tongue lolled form her mouth, and she drooled on Allie’s shoulder a little. “Ohhhh, I am.” She moaned, sloppily licking Allie’s face. Then, she regained control of her senses, and the girls could almost see her cheeks reddening with embarrassment beneath her fur. “Ith’s na—ah?”
Tiffany looked down to find that her tongue was still outside of her mouth. More than that, it was lengthening! “Guys! Whath’s ‘oin on now?”
“You’re getting a dog tongue, sweetie. Just let it happen, and when you get your muzzle, everything will be fine.” Kate smiled, petting the top of her head.
Becca whined loudly, and the girls looked over to find her panting, her tongue almost twice its usual length. “Can—can I be pet too?” She asked, her arms held up to mimic a dog’s pout.
“You think you’re up for it, Allie?” Kate arched an eyebrow, rubbing Tiffany’s cheeks as they started to hang lower on her face, becoming a pair of jowls.
“Uhnnn!” Tiffany gasped as her jaw cracked away from her face, forming a blunt muzzle. Her jaws forced themselves open as her canine teeth formed, and she looked up at Kate pleadingly.
“Shh, shh, it’s okay, it’s okay.” Kate scratched her longer cheeks. “See, you can fit your tongue in your mouth now!”
“Yeah, but...” Tiffany paused to smack her lips together. As she opened her mouth to speak again, her nose turned a dark black, her nostrils flaring as the tip of her nose flattened. She took a deep breath and gasped. “Oh my God, I can smell everything!”
The changing cheerleader forgot about her current predicament, pausing to sniff a the air, enjoying the rich woodsy scent of their cabin, the faint perfume that lingered from the girls’ last showers, even the other half-dog in the room. “Becca, are you getting any of this?” She looked over to find the smaller girl’s legs kicking in the air as Allie rubbed her belly.
“Y-yeah, but this is waaay better.” Becca moaned, her eyes shut behind her canine muzzle. Her feet started to cramp, and she looked up to Allie. “Could you get my feet? They’re starting to ache—oh!” A sharp pain came from her big toe, lasting only a second as it hurriedly made its way back into her foot.
Allie quickly got to rubbing the girl’s foot, smiling as Becca visibly relaxed. “Yeah, this was one of the wildest things for us, too.”
Becca watched her toes slide around on her foot, a neat symmetry forming between her plump digits. “Oh, it’s like I can feel my nerves rearranging! The tips of my toes are becoming really numb even as I’m getting these little claws!” She narrated her changes, an old habit of hers whenever she got nervous. Her whole body tensed for a moment, then she sagged to the ground, her tongue lolling from her muzzle as she panted happily.
“Allie, I can feel your fingers on my forming pads—the soles of my feet feel so much better like this! I don’t even care If my feet, my body’s shrinking, this is just too good!” She tried to keep her legs from kicking, but they still twitched nonetheless.
Tiffany watched this with a growing sense of apprehension. She looked back to her feet, yelping as she saw her toes were now enclosed in thick enamel, small claws protecting her flesh. “Ah!” She yelped, scrambling away from Kate.
“Thank God this fur’s keeping me from seeing too much of this!” She gasped, rubbing her foot as it started to plump out. It looked less like her feet were shrinking, and more like they were being squashed, their size increasing even as their length decreased. Curiosity gripped her, and she reached past her white fur to rub at her soles. Sure enough, it felt like she was pressing against a soft, supple pad. She bit her lip slightly to keep herself from looking like she was enjoying the changes. It felt nice, but she was still somehow changing, her entire body reshaping into a different form!
As if to remind her of this, her big toe started to slide up her ankle. She whimpered, grabbing at it to impede its progress. All that succeeded in was increasing the sensation of the changes, letting her feel every inch of her toes’ movement. She looked up to find Kate smiling reassuringly.
“See, you’ve got a beautiful set of paws.” She grinned, scratching the bottom of her friend’s leg.
“Hey, Kate! Fur, heads, feet. That’s about halfway, right? We can take our vials now?” Allie looked up at her friend excitedly.
“Sure, you can. I’d like to wait a little bit before taking mine, though—just in case you need human hands.” Kate smiled, her years as a dog-sitter taking hold.
“You’ll miss out on getting your ears scratched...” Allie muttered, tapping the vial against Allie’s shoulder meaningfully.
“Later.” Kate repeated herself, quickly pulling out their game of Yahtzee to distract Allie.
In the end, Kate was able to hold out for just under five minutes, Becca’s excited yips at being scratched proving too much for the young woman to bear. The game then intensified, as Kate declared they were playing ‘strip Yahtzee’, just to provide an excuse for the dog-girls to take off their clothes before they were unable to.
They paused the game as the changes swept across Allie and Kate, the girls gaining their fur coats in a much more graceful manner than their friends had. Now that they expected the itchiness, it was a more peaceful process for the pair to undergo.
Kate shook out her black and white fur, grinning at Allie’s familiar orange and white. Allie just winked, tapping her lengthening ear. “Ready?”
“Mm-hm!” Kate grinned, slumping back against her friend. “Any time.” She settled in, panting as her ears lengthened and watching her feet transform. To be honest, that was her favorite part, watching her big toes become dewclaws, her littler toes plump out. She wiggled them as they changed, taking note of the point where she lost some of her range of motion.
Then, she looked back to find that Allie’s feet had yet to change. “Um...” She looked up to find that the girl had already grown her fuzzy snout. The changes really were kind of random, then. That was nice.
“Something wrong?” Allie tilted her head, her ear flicking gently.
“No, just...” Kate grinned as a devilish idea entered her head. She quickly darted down, running her tongue along the soles of Allie’s feet. Allie yelped with surprise, but did nothing to stop her.
“W-what are you doing?” She stammered, trying to act like she wasn’t enjoying it. Having her friend’s lengthening tongue run along her paw pads was nice, like a warm, wet massage.
“Just wait and see.” Kate grinned as she lifted her head. She then bent down, starting to suck on Allie’s big toe.
Allie whimpered, then gasped as she felt the changes again. “Oh my God, this is incredible! I can feel every bit of my big toe pushing back into my body now!” She scratched Kate behind the ears, grinning as the girl redoubled her efforts.
Kate continued to lick at the dwindling digit, feeling it twitch slightly beneath her tongue as it finished dinking into Allie’s body. Then, the collie girl lifted her head, moving to suck on each of her friend’s changing toes in turn.
Allie gasped breathlessly, twitching her now-canine foot as Kate finished her ministrations. The two looked to each other, smiling broadly, then turned to find their friends giving them odd looks. “What? Don’t knock it til you try it!” Allie said defensively.
Tiffany grinned teasingly. “I didn’t say anything.” For some odd reason, it was easier to watch other people changing than it was to watch herself shift.
They continued playing Yahtzee until Becca and Tiffany lost their thumbs, the girls gaining a set of canine paws. Allie and Kate followed soon after, even growing tails—though Kat ehad yet to grow her muzzle in. Naturally, she was the one who decided start playing word games.
That went on for another dozen minutes, before the girls started to have trouble speaking.
“So wharrt kind of dog am I becoming?” Becca slowed her speech, doing her best to pronounce each word. Back in her preteens, she had a lisp, and even though the other girls were talking funnily, she was still a little embarrassed by the changes.
Allie, on the other hand, was under no such inhibitions. “Oh my God, I’ve been meaning to tell you, you’rrre becoming an adorrrable Yorrr-Arf! Arf!” Allie’s speech degenerated into yips as she continued to struggle with her ‘r’s.
“I think she means to say a Yorkshire Terrier.” Kate said, chuckling slightly. “Good job knowing it’s breed, Allie. I’m proud of you.” Kate added the last bit of an afterthought, scratching the Shiba Inu behind her ears.
“H-hey, by the way. Whorrt dorrg am I?” Tiffany sat on her haunches, looking at the other changing girls in the room. They shook slightly with repressed laughter as her tongue lolled once more from her mouth, and she drooled slightly. The cheerleader did her best to ignore their amusement.
Kate smiled, a cute expression on her collie muzzle. “I’d say... A Saint Bernard?” She tapped her lower lip with one of her fingers.
“But I dorrn’t worn to brr uhh—Orf! Orf!” Tiffany’s eyes widened. Had she lost the ability to speak? She continued trying to talk, making a few almost-human sounding barks and whimpers, but other than that she was a complete animal.
Much as she’d like to deny it, she couldn’t—but she still shook her head in denial, frowning in dismay. Tiffany’s jowls swayed gently at the motion, and Becca yipped with laughter, her black and brown fur shaking as she rolled on the ground.
Tiffany growled and play-tackled Becca, the smaller dog-girl yelping as she was practically flattened by her larger companion. Tiffany never took kindly to teasing, and now that she was such a large dog, she was more than able to deal with her companions’ teasing.
Becca yipped in surprise. “Cut it arf!” She wriggled her way out from under Tiffany, whose whole frame was shaking with snuffles of laughter.
Becca pouted, then turned to Kate. “Rrt’s no fairr you can still tark! Arf!” Becca paused as her speech degenerated into yips. She whimpered with embarrassment, curling up into a pout.
Tiffany blinked, then padded over to the terrier, licking her nose comfortingly. It was nice to know that she wasn’t the only one worried about losing her voice, plus it helped to have someone else be worried. The Saint Bernard felt a large pressure from her backside, and she whimpered as a long, fluffy tail explosively sprouted from her backside.
The former cheerleader watched enviously as Becca gracefully grew a short tail. Sensing her friend’s eyes on her, Becca started chasing her tail to deflate the situation. It was surprisingly fun, and she continued for a few minutes longer than she initially intended. She looked up to find Kate and Allie were huffing quietly with amusement, canine smiles on their faces.
Kate stuck out her tongue teasingly, then gagged as the muscle tripled in length. It lolled aimlessly from her mouth as she panted, her jaw cracking out to for the familiar muzzle of a collie. She tried to speak, but could only manage to bark.
Allie bounced over to Kate, licking her face as the collie frowned, still trying to sound out something more than typical yips and growls. The two wrestled for a few minutes, slipping back into their canine bodies easily, even as their tails came in. The four dogs looked at each other, then quickly darted out from the retreat, eager to play in the woods.
A few days later, the serum had run its course. The first thing the girls gained back were the ability to walk on two limbs, their hips cracking, legs reshaping back to human limbs. Their hands came next, paws giving birth to thumbs, fingers lengthening even as paw pads deflated slightly, leaving them with palms.
The girls’ backs popped as they stood up shakily, wobbling as their chests filled in. As expected, Tiffany almost lost her balance; though she was grateful to have her breasts back. They looked at each other as their muzzles pulled back into their faces—It was like watching their transformation in reverse, and it was somehow a little more disturbing to see than their initial changes.
Becca’s tail wagged one last time as it sank back into her body, pulling in even as her big toes pushed out from her lengthening feet. She looked at her friends to see that they were undergoing a similar reversal. She wiggled her toes, feeling the ground beneath her skin. She realized with a start that she could feel the ground better, and she pouted as she realized that was the end of her paw pads.
Allie and Kate shot each other quick grins at Becca’s reaction. Their grins only widened as Tiffany sniffed at the air, sighing in dismay as she no doubt realized her sense of smell was now a fraction of what it had been. It looked like the girls would be coming back for a repeat change. That said... All four of the girls shivered at the same time, realizing in unison that as their fur shrank back into their body, it left them a good deal less warm in the cool of the evening. They hurriedly ran back into the cabin, eager to put on something warmer; then talk about their weekend.
