Jennifer grunted, trying to form the words. But then Susan piped up.
“You get both, Jen.”
Jennifer let out a low “Moooo” but then just waited for Susan to start changing her back to normal. Dummy was taking long enough.
“For your transformation, Jen, you’re going to become a cow. Completely, 100%, healthy and hale dairy cow. Everyone will know what happened to you, that being a crass, mean, and ignorant bitch to everyone cost you your humanity. They’ll tell your story in between classes and to kids before bed.” Jennifer reared her head back.
“I dare you to forget. Forget everything about being human, except for just vague recollections that will be bounce around in the cow brain of yours, and just one other thing – you’ll know that you weren’t always like this, but you had made a series of mistakes that made you what you are.”
Susan placed her cow-like forehead against Jennifer’s very cow-like face. “I’m sorry, but I don’t think you had a chance as a human.”
Susan stepped back. Jennifer was shuffling and grunting. Her face extended, forming into a complete muzzle. Jennifer’s entire body began to grow. Pounds of fat and muscle formed across her mutating body. Her neck lengthened and thickened, her vocal cords distorting. Her lower body pulsed with transformation and within moments, Jennifer was indeed, a massive, healthy cow.
Susan looked at Jennifer’s eyes, the very last bit to transform. She watched as the last bit of human intelligence and emotion seeped away. The green eyes faded into brown circles.
Jennifer was gone and only the beast remained. She farted several times and then crapped onto the floor. She mooed loudly, her animal mind trying to understand why she was inside a house and also, why she was regretting . . . something something something . . . she was a cow, moo, a cow, she wanted to eat then sleep then graze and then sleep and . . . and . . .
Susan stared at her friend, stunned at the animal before her. And then it dawned on her.
“SHIT!”
She looked at her own hoofed hands. Jennifer couldn’t do T or D back. Susan was stuck like this! Stuck in this weird body . . . forever! She fell to her knees. She was just having some fun, but now . . . now she knew. Susan knew that in trying to punish Jennifer . . . she had managed to trap herself.
Susan yelled and wasn’t surprised to find it becoming a long “Moooooo.”
