Shifting Views: A Short TF Story for James Fox (CyberFox)
(Man and Woman -> Bert Racoon & Lana Lionheart)
It was the annual fur convention in Buffalo, New York, where furries from all walks of life came to show off their costumes, and occasionally sell their wares. Two visitors to this year's event were John and Lisa, two undergraduate students from Long Island, New York.
John had brilliant blue eyes and short, brown hair that didn't ever want to lay flat, he wore simple clothing, a red tee-shirt and cream chinos. He had his signed Nike shoes, which were signed by famous footballer David Beckham.
Lisa, on the other hand wore a pink shirt with a light blue skirt that reached her mid-thigh, she also had blue eyes like John, but her hair was the most brilliant shade of red that fell in waves around her head. Lisa had taken high-heels to this convention, but was now regretting that decision as, even before they got to the convention, they began hurting.
Neither John nor Lisa were married, but they both lived together, wanting to take their blossoming relationship slowly instead of rushing into a marriage that could potentially end in disaster. Once they arrived at the convention, John split from Lisa and went over to some racoon-guy who was selling Bert Racoon paraphernalia, the fur's main item was the red and yellow top with an 'E' inscribed into it, which apparently was one of the items that Bert had worn on his cartoon episodes.
Lisa meanwhile had found herself absorbed in a Lana Lionheart fur that was selling many different items, but the one that most intrigued Lisa, was a rather oddly shaped blue bowl, it reminded her of a cat's cot.
Both Lisa and John were so enthralled by their respective items that they purchased them and met back up by their car. "So, what'd you get?" Lisa said, seeing as she didn't see his item.
John grinned and pulled out his purchase "It's a Bert Racoon jumper. I see you got a cat cot." He replied.
Lisa nodded "Yeah, from this Lana Lionheart stall. It somehow called to me, ya'know?"
John shook his head ruefully, then replied "yeah, of course I know, I had the same feeling with this jumper."
The two of them fought off the urge to use the items there and then, instead deciding to return home and use them in the safety of their privacy. The car ride was rather un-eventful and they soon found themselves at their front door carrying their goods.
Once in the safety of their home, both John and Lisa retreated to try their purchases out. In their shared room, Lisa put down the cot and stepped in it, instantly feeling sleepy, so she laid down, curled her body and fell asleep instantly.
John meanwhile, after putting on his jumper, felt rather itchy. It was as if the wool was scratching at his body, looking under the jumper, he noticed red inflamed areas, and what appeared to be grey hairs pushing through where the jumper made contact with his skin, at this point he freaked out and fainted.
Lisa awoke first, stretching out impossibly, she didn’t realise that as she slept, her vertebrae became much more flexible and golden fur was sprouting from her rear, nor did she notice that her body was quickly loosing muscle, no what she noticed most of all was her boobs, or rather, lack of them, they had physically retracted so much that they were hardly noticeable. Lisa screamed in sheer panic.
John awoke at Lisa's panic, his own transformation having leapt forwards. On his belly was a grey fur, but around that was a darker grey, his hands and feet had been covered in the fur and not that he could see it, but a dark grey patch of fur had sprung up around his eyes.
John felt a pinching sensation in his feet as they lengthened, his toes had reduced in number from 5 to 3, he also felt something brush at his new feet, feeling behind him, his hands met with something solid, pulling at it until it was in his view, he saw that it was a tail, banded brown and dark grey fur funning its length.
Lisa's changes too, were accelerating, her body was now completely covered in golden fur and a leonine tail had burst from her coccyx, ending in a tuft of brownish-red fur. Her feet too had shifted, lengthening and shortening in number from 5 to 3. Along her arms had sprouted the golden fur, and her hands had lost a finger, so that each hand now had three fingers and a thumb.
Her head was next, pushing outward into a leonine muzzle, complete with a black nose and sharp canine teeth, her brilliant red hair became slightly brown and her ears enlarged until they stuck out of her hair, all covered in fur.
John felt his own head transform, his nose pulling out and hooking down as his head took on a triangular shape, his ears pulled outwards and flopped down over themselves, all of which got bathed in a sea of differing shades of grey fur. His trousers disappeared, but yet he felt no draught in his nether regions, looking down he could see why, they had disappeared.
Lisa's skirt twisted and pulled upward, writing underneath her pink jumper until it become a long collared shirt with long sleeves and form-fitting leggings, all in the same light blue of her previous skirt colour.
With their transformations both Lisa and John got a surprise when, out of their old clothes, a ring each fell. John\, picking his up, rushed toward Lisa said "Lisa… did you? Will you?" He spluttered.
Lisa was overawed by the ring and said probably the second most powerful word any woman could say "Yes." She said "I will marry you, you old 'coon you"
John hugged Lisa and cuddled up close. "You know, I'm kinda glad we got transformed, it's allowed me to tell you how I really feel." He said.
"I know, John, I know." She replied.
