Nicole took a short while to think about Nolan's offer, it along with his apology seemed genuine and
after seeing the watch in action figured; if they he was going to harm me or anything else, he'd have
done it by now.
"ok Nolan, I'll take you up on that, you're going to let me use that watch as I want until a say otherwise"
she said as she crossed her arms and shot him a glare so cold Nolan could feel the hairs on his neck
stand up.
"deal" Nolan said "well what do you want to do first then" Nicole was stumped, she wasn't sure what
she wanted. She'd thought what she'd want if she's ever gotten a chance like this. It was like a genie in a
bottle but with unlimited wishes. But now she was drawing blanks. Then it came to here, a memory, or
rather the memory of a feeling.
How her skin had felt as the fur was creeping up her skin, the cool refreshing feeling that had been
smothered by fear and disbelief. How the clacking of her hooves rang out across the floor, each step
she'd took felt like and accomplishment maintaining her balance. But most of all how her udder had felt
as it swelled with milk and how Nolan had eased the pressure and replaced it with pleasure.
She snapped out of her trance when she noticed Nolan giving her a strange look. Without thinking it
through Nicole blurted out "I wana transform again!" Nolan was shocked, he hadn't been expecting her
to jump to that. For the most part he'd expected her use the watch to exact her revenge. There was a
long pause between the two of them. "but not into a cow again!" Nicole began "it wasn't very
comfortable, the pressure and all. I wana pick what... what I... become"
Saying it out loud made Nicole realize how real her situation was. Here, laid out in front of her she could
become anything she wanted but still drew a blank as to what she wanted to become. Nolan began to
fiddle with the watch. "well what do you want to turn into then" he asked. Nicole hesitated "I don't
know yet, I'll need some time I guess, this all still feels imposable"
Nolan stopped his fiddling "ok well... what do you want to do in the meantime then?" "I don't know that
ether" she replied holding her sides and turning her head away, embarrassed to be so empty headed.
She continued "but I know I want to do it somewhere more comfortable then here" she gestured to the
kitchen. "I take it you have someplace in mind" asked Nolan. "yeah, we can go to my apartment, it's just
a few blocks down the road" she turned her attention to the kitchen door. "but I can't close the shop
with all those customers still here"
"I can handle that" Nolan walked past her and to the door. He aimed the watch through the crack and
sweeped it across the crowed that had gathered within the caf�. Nicole joined him and peered through
the door.
Slowly the customers one by one finished there drinks, some looking at their watches, others their
phones, but they all left the shop in a matter of a few minutes. The two walked into the center of the
empty shop. Nolan smirked "think you can close now? Nicole walked to the door and flipped the sign
over "let me guess, the watch" Nolan nodded his head "how? Will they be alright?" she asked. "Another
function of the watch is control; I just made them all think they had forgotten something or had other
places to be. They'll be confused for a little but they won't get hurt if that's what your concerned about"
he explained
Nicole shot him a glair "you didn't..." Nolan through his arms up in defense "I didn't use it on you I
swear!" by now Nolan had seen that look in her eye a half dozen times. He knew that if given the chance
she's back up the threat behind her glair.
She made her way over to the register and began to cash out for the day. While she did her closing
procedure Nolan took the time to reflect. Just this morning he'd gotten the watch, mostly moved into
his apartment, cast punishment on the noisy neighbor, played with Nicole, then played with her some
more.
He wondered how it was that he could change, what was her name... oh Maggie? How could he change
Maggie so dramatically without even a second thought but then do the same thing to Nicole and be so
torn up inside over it. Sure the filter had been on in Maggie's case she'd never know that she'd been
transformed into a giant pig woman. was Nicole's reaction to the changes enough to shake him up? But
afterward she'd seem to come to terms with it, then again she'd also had his apology and offer as a kind
of buy off.
He pondered after a bit and found his resolve in the watch. He made the decision, with the watch he
had a golden opportunity to do what he pleased. He may as well take advantage of it. From now on he
would change people as he wanted but with discretion and not without good reason or good fun. But he
still owed it to Nicole to finish his part of the deal, besides it might be nice to have a friend along for the
ride.
"okay, ready to go?" Nicole asked, she was staring at Nolan lost in thought, she waved her hand to his
face, catching his attention. He snapped out of his train of thought "sorry, was thinking of something"
They made their way to the door and onto the street heading for Nicole's apartment .they didn't say
anything to each other for the first block they walked, or the second. Nolan noticed the awkward silence
setting in, he was eager to break it seeing the pattern of hostility coming from Nicole, he couldn't blame her after what had happened.
"sooo, Nicole... umm can you tell me about yourself" Nolan meekly broke the silence. She returned with
a puzzled look "like what? Is this a dating show or something?" she chuckled trying to shake off the
question. "well I mean I'd like to know you a little better, I guess" he was trying not to blush over how
bad this was going. "ok well what would you like to know" she entertained the questioning. "have any
family around town?"
"my mother and father live a few hours away from the city but my sister lives just on the other side of
town. She's a waitress at a rather high-end restaurant"
"oh, are you two close?"
"mmmmm kinda we talk on the phone once or twice a week but never really hangout that much
anymore"
"how about the coffee shop? Are you the owner?"
"yeah I work the books and pay the bills, I'm lucky that business has been steady."
"so any friends, do anything for fun?"
"well the shop keeps me pretty busy, it's a one person job for how small it is but when I can I go out to a
bar nearby with a few friends." She came to a stop "here we are."
The apartment building seemed new but with a simple design, it was two stories high with stairs leading
to landing on the second floor, with two doors on both floors. Nicole led them up the stairs to the first
door, sorted through her keys and made her way in, Nolan following shortly behind her.
Nicole's apartment was much larger than the building led on to believe. The kitchen was well made with
oak cabinets and a lot of counter space. The living room was well furnished with two large sofas and a
few coffee tables at each end. They didn't seem to be from the same set but still complemented each
other.
Nicole made her way into her room and came out with a towel "I'm going to take a shower, I still don't
know what I want to do yet and well I guess the water might help me think. Make yourself at home, just
be respectable" she closed the door and soon Nolan herd water running from the shower.
Nolan kicked off his shoes and left them by the door. He began to make his way around the apartment
he began to examine her movie collection a small book shelf filled with DVDs. He noticed she had a large
handful of monster movies even a few Godzilla classics. He made his way to a desk in the corner of the
room, her laptop was plugged in and charging next to it was a Nintendo 3DS also charging, he flipped it
open and viewed the screen, he nodded his head in agreement and made his way to the bookshelf next
to the desk. A number of glass figurines rested on display on the top shelf.
Nolan sat on the one of the sofas and began to explore the other options of the watch as he waited for
Nicole to figure out what she would do with it, he began to brainstorm some options for her in case she
still hadn't bade up her mind...
