Melissa, once she was finished speaking with her father, went up to her bedroom to change and get ready for bed. As she was taking off her clothes, she paused to look at the pills on her dresser. Those were the werecow birth control pills that she got from the hospital that day when her dad became a weretiger. At the time, she was almost certain that she wanted to be a werecow. She told her friend Megumi as much that day. That was the decision she made, right? Was it too late to change her mind?
She continued her preparations for bed by getting her night clothes, but she paused for a moment to look at herself in the mirror. Given that she was in the middle of changing clothes, she was almost nude. Melissa examined her body and her figure in the mirror. She looked like an average 15 year old girl, with B-cup breasts and a developing waist. She couldn't help compare herself to the other girl weres that she'd seen. She remembered Trevor's mom, who unabashedly stripped herself and showed what she was like both in her human form and her cow form. What amazed Melissa about Trevor's mom's breasts is that they didn't droop or sag despite being so big. Melissa wondered if she'd get the same thing if she became a werecow. Then she remembered the other girls that she'd seen. Alice was relatively small, although compared to how Melissa was at the moment, she was a bit bigger as a wererabbit. Megumi was quite shapely as a werefox, and certainly had a figure on her.
Melissa sighed as she looked at the bottle of werecow birth control pills. Is this what she really wanted to do? She finished cleaning herself up and getting ready for bed. She soon fell into dreamland when she heard a now familiar voice.
"Hello there, Melissa. Penny for your thoughts?" Melissa woke up to see her reflection talking to her.
"Here for our nightly chat?" Melissa asked.
"Or just helping through the thoughts in your brain," the reflection replied with a wink. "So, I heard that you were going to be a werecow."
"Yeah, that's where things are headed to," Melissa said.
"But...?" her reflection asked, sensing that there was more.
"Am I doing the right thing?" Melissa asked "I mean, I want to be a werecow, right? That's what I decided, right?"
"You tell me," the reflection answered, "Although, the fact that you're here talking to me about this tells me that there's some lingering doubt."
"Well, it's that once I take the plunge, there's no turning back. What if I make a mistake? What if I'm not really happy as a werecow...or a werevixen...or a weretigress...or a werewolf..."
"Understandable," Melissa's reflection said thoughtfully. "And you're right on that. Just one question, though. Why did you decide on a werecow?"
Melissa paused to think for a bit and replied, "Because I wanted to be with Trevor. I want to have a good life with him."
"And you think the way to be that is to be a werecow with him?" the reflection asked.
"Well, yeah," Melissa replied, "we'll be very compatible then even more than now."
"Makes sense," the reflection mused, "What does Trevor think about it?"
"I...don't know. I haven't spoken him about that yet. I'm sure he'd love to introduce me to were-society himself, but..."
The reflection finished Melissa's sentence with, "You're not sure how he'd take it if you didn't become a werecow?"
"Yeah," Melissa said.
The reflection smiled and said, "I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you decide to become anything other than a werecow, I'm sure he'll accept you and love you for who you are and what you may become. I mean, he already loves you now, right?" Melissa blushed for a moment when she heard that. "Well, you two are going on a picnic together tomorrow, right? Why not talk to him about it? And don't rush your decision. You don't need to be a werecow tomorrow."
"I suppose you have a point there," Melissa replied to her reflection. "Maybe I am moving a little too fast here. I think I'll ask Trevor about it tomorrow."
"That's my girl," the reflection said in a voice that sounded like her mom's.
Melissa smiled and said, "Thank you for the talk. It's been helpful." With that said, Melissa went back to bed and continued her sleep.
