“Hey Marina, is everything ok?” asks her best friend, worried that all the screaming might attract Karen’s attention. Marina just stared at Kylie for a second, not knowing how to respond to her friend. Kylie stood there, confused at Marina, and then chimed in, “Hello? Earth to Marina? Is this message coming through???” Kylie then plucked Marina’s forehead, causing her to reel back out of her stupor. “Woah, what happened?” asked the now aware woman. Kylie laughed at her for a second, “Wow, you really were out of it, huh? Anyway, what was with the screaming, is everything ok?” Marina had to come up with a pretty good lie to tell Kylie, this girl could NOT find out the truth. “Umm... I got good news from back home and couldn’t contain my excitement. Sorry, I kinda forgot I was at work for a minute.” Nailed it, so natural too. Kylie sighed, relieved at her friend’s words, “Thank goodness, you had me worried. So in other questions...” Kylie focused her gaze on the vegetation on her friends head, “is there some new vegan thing or is there a reason for the leaf on your head.” Damn it Kylie, so inquisitive! “Don’t worry about it!” backing away from Kylie, “It’s just a hairpiece I put on, gotta make sure I look professional enough.” Maybe she hammed it up a little too much. “Right, because you definitely care about being professional...” Kylie mocked, realizing her friends BS. “Look Marina, be honest with me, what’s happening here? Nobody goes from screaming their lungs out to wearing a leaf hairpiece, are you going through some mental stuff?” Well no use trying to hide it now, Kylie would just make her feel guilty about hiding the truth. Marina walked behind Kylie, made sure the DO NOT DISTURB sign was still up and leaned against the door. “Promise me you won’t freak out or scream.” Marina ordered, completely serious and stoic. Kylie got a little nervous before making sure her friend trusted her, “Of course girl, now tell me.” Marina touches the leaf on her head and slowly peeled it off. As soon as it came off, the cloud of smoke appeared again, and Marina reverted back to her short stack Tanuki form, complete with wide hips, golden eyes, and huge balls. Kylie saw her friend once the smoke dissipated an she could not believe what she saw. She had to stand there, mouth agape for a few seconds trying to process this. The only thing she could get out was, “W-w-wha-wu-huh? What? How? Huh?” Marina explained to Kylie everything that happened over the past hour or two that she’s been there. All the while Kylie stared at Marina’s furry balls, mesmerized at the size of them. She couldn’t resist, Kylie reached out and touched one of her furry balls...
