Since Arianna seems to be enjoying hers, you decide to bite the bullet. You pick up your wine glass and hold it up. "To date night!" you say. Arianna smiles and you two clink glasses. You lift yours up to your mouth and drain it as Arianna does the same. It tastes good, with hints of oak in it. The warmth it brings spreads all through your body, traveling all the way from the tips of your fingers down to your toes. You giggle, and set the wine back down, feeling a little lightheaded and dizzy. Your head lolls on your neck as your eyes suddenly feel like they're burning. You rub them a few times and feel fine. Unknown to you, your eyes have turned yellow with piercing black pupils, like pools of black ink. Arianna's have turned green and have cat's slits.
"Ok, what'll it be?" Arianna says, returning with a notepad. "Venison. Extrrrrremley rarrrre if you please." You murr. "Me to." Arianna says. :Of course! Enjoy your meals!" Mandy says, laughing maniacally as she walks away.
You laugh again and thump your hand on the table. Inspecting it, it seems like your hand has grown in size while your fingers have merged, shortened, and fattened, growing claws and thick tawny fur on it. You heave the other hand on the table and notice that you appear to have massive cougar paws instead of hands. You just smile drunkenly at this, thinking about how much better your leopard-print jacket will look now. Arianna's hands have done the same, expect her fur is black.
"Wowww...." you say. "I think I've had to mmmmmuch to drrrrink..." you say, your voice filling with cougar growls and purrs. "I agreeeee." Arianna says. "We shoulllld stoppp." She mumbles. You laugh as the thick tawny fur continues it's spread up your arms. As it covers your arms, they bloat and become very muscular and they rotate in their sockets. The fur, now covering your arms and shoulder blades (and rapidly making it's way up your neck and down you back and chest), grows thicker. Your shoulders are pushed up and closer together and your arms are splayed out in front of you. You have difficulty picking up your water glass, only being able to grasp it between your huge paws.
"Wherrrrr's ourrrr food?" you purr. The thick tawny fur, now covering your entire body from the neck down, doesn't seem to alarm you. Your spine lengthens until you are eight feet tall and you feel yourself rising in your seat. Your back broadens as your stomach and chest barrel and bloat out, where the fur is a creamy beige color instead of tawny. Your shirt rips into shreds under your expanding form. Your penis lengthens and grows larger, attaching to your stomach in a thick furry sheath. You feel your face push out into a long muzzle, becoming swamped with the thick fur, and feel the long whiskers grow out of your cheeks. Your nose turns a reddish orange and triangular. Your forehead pushes back and your eyes settle deeper in their sockets. Your ears become furry and triangular, moving to the top of your head.
"Here it is!" a cheerful voice announces. You and Arianna turn your completely feline heads toward Mandy, who brings out huge plates of raw venison and set it down in front of either of you. "I guess you won't be needing either of those..." Mandy says, snatching up your silverware. "Enjoy!" she says, and walks away.
You heave your huge paws on the table and bend down towards the plate, neck actually lengthening merging with your head and becoming very muscular as you rip apart the meat with your teeth, which have grown into long, sharp fangs... the meat seems to speed up your changes. Your back hunches over and your spine straightens out, rising upward the closer it gets to your hindquarters. Your thighs and butt bloat hugely with muscle, pushing outwards and causing your pants to become extremely tight, ripping at the seams and falling to the ground in tatters as they grow even larger. Your feet lengthen as your toes merge and shrink, becoming huge cougar paws. Your huge muscular thighs shorten becoming the same length as your front legs. You can now only walk on four legs. You now have the body of an extremely huge, muscular cougar, except for one thing. You feel something poking at your tailbone, and slowly, a long cougar tail, extremely thick and covered in the thick tawny fur that now covers your body, snakes it's way towards the floor, getting longer and longer, until it stops and you flick it behind you lazily as you devour your meal.
You lick your maw of the last of the meat juice and growl in pleasure. You drop to all fours and pad over to the other side of the table, where a black panther that used to be Arianna is finishing her meal. She finishes and growls in pleasure of seeing you. She pads over to you and nuzzles you on your muscular neck. Your tails intertwine and you both lie down on the floor, tails and paws tangled together in love.
