"Aw, c'mon Caden," Evan whined. "Let's have some fun together!"
"Wouldn't say ye nay," replied Dana, arching her brow. "'Cept first, me name be Dana. An' second, methinks ye be not a-lookin' fer the same manner o' fun as I."
Evan blushed. "Well... no. And sorry. It's going to take a while to get used to thinking of you as 'Dana.'"
The captain waved her hand. "O' course. I'll not hold it against ye... 'less ye persist in yer error." She smiled to take the edge off her words -- had she not, they would have shivered Evan's spine. Dana was not Caden. This was all starting to sink in, as memories of the altered reality begin to filter into their minds -- while Dana was as playful as her old self, she was fiery, rather short-tempered, and not averse to violence.
"I'd take you up." Ian stood up, his tails wagging as he eyed Dana's busty form. "I'm also eager to 'test' my new... equipment. I've dreamed of what having a kn-" He cut himself off abruptly, and cleared his throat. Dana laughed.
"Aye, so I'd wager! 'Twould be almost as different as havin' lady parts. An' as I were a-sayin', I'd love to feel it."
"Uh guys..." Pat shifted uncomfortably at the sexual talk. "Are you really going to... I mean, is that really the first thing..."
"Why not?" asked Ian gently. "I'm sorry to make you and Evan uncomfortable, Pat. But I'm not the human I used to be, and the Arannese have casual sex all the time."
"Nor does a captain deny herself," added Dana. "God ferbid that I miss an offer o' free pleasure! I'll try to keep me tongue genteel for ye modern folk, though. Howbeit, I be ready t' weigh anchor... ye twain be not int'rested, so I propose that we part ways. Me 'n fox lad c'n go back to me berth, an' ye an' Evan c'n do whate'er it be that suits ye."
Pat nodded, still flushed. "Yeah... you go do... that, and Evan and me can... um..."
"Let's go to the mall," suggested Evan. "Now that we've got all this money, that seems like a good place to hang -- we can buy what we want, eat what we want, play all the games at the arcade..." His eyes began to light up, as he put the weirdness of his friends wishes behind him and thought about everything they could do with their newfound wealth.
"Y-Yeah... let's do that." Pat's mind was still preoccupied by the sensual displays of his friends. He'd never realised that he was bi, but seeing Ian's package in the flesh -- his knot inflated with the excitement of transformation -- had undeniably stirred his own genitals. Dana's even lustier display had addled him still further. But he made an effort to push that aside, and gave Evan an uncertain smile. Horniness aside, he still wanted to be alone -- but he couldn't say "no" to his friend's excitement.
"Be it settled, then?" asked Dana, looking around. The others nodded. "Great!" She glanced down and made a face at the heavy belt lying around her feet. "An I just shed this lot..." She grumbled as she bent over. Pat quickly looked away as her bust jiggled and strained against her blouse with the motion.
"One thing before we go back up." Pat looked over at the suddenly serious Ian. The kitsune had poofed back into his human form, though still wearing his coat and his katana, the blade secured in the sheath by an elaborate knot.
"Pat, I want to ask you to not make any more wishes without all of us knowing."
"Huh? Oh..." He rubbed at the back of his head. Of course Ian would be the one to think of that, having been the guinea pig for his "secret" wish. "I guess that's fine. I promise."
A few minutes later, the four were upstairs. Pat was curious how his family would respond to them, especially Dana since with Aranor still masquerading as Ian, the pirate was the most obviously changed. His father and older brother were out -- Austin Kesev at his job, and Austin Kesev Jr. at football practice -- but Mrs. Amanda Kesev was in the master bedroom, and Pat's little brother Jimmy was in the front room playing a video game.
He was a little disappointed when they didn't react at all, despite the weapons and risque outfit. Although he did feel a bit dizzy as he "remembered" his mother's changed attitude towards Dana -- Amanda did not approve of her (supposedly normal) gender change, nor her lewd habits, and especially not the reports of the pirate's rough antics at Ocharville High, which had put the fear of God into the bullies there and earned her a suspension.
Caden really has changed, Pat thought, head spinning.
So there was a certain tension when Amanda exited to her bedroom to see what the four were up to. (As for Ian, it seemed his katana, while incongruous, was regarded as a harmless prop. His -- increased -- maturity and calm politeness now made him Amanda's favourite among her son's posse.)
"We be shovin' off, Mrs. Kesev," declared Dana airily. She was certainly aware of the hostility the older woman held for her, but she cared not a whit. "Be seein' ye."
"Me and Evan are going to the mall," Pat interposed. Amanda turned her attention to him, glad for an excuse to ignore the bold girl.
"Be careful, okay dear?" she asked. "And get back before dinner."
"Okay." He nodded. It was late Saturday morning; that gave them quite a bit of time.
"Thank you for letting us come over," said Ian politely. "We'll see you later, Mrs. Kesev."
