You yawn as you exit the bedroom, giving a stretch. Part of you is surprised that you've woken up as yourself. Only after waking up this morning did you realizing that it miiiiight have been a mistake leaving the keys with Keith.
Yeah he said that everything was fine and good and "no harm, no foul" but nothing could change the fact that you had turned him into a fire hydrant and you wouldn't blame him for being annoyed for a while.
You even paused after exiting the bedroom, thinking that a shift could overtake you any moment. You waited for the flash of light and to be possibly turned into something.
This did not happen.
Still wary, you enter the living room. From arrangement of pillows and blankets, you can tell that Keith crashed on your couch for the night. Honestly, a rather usual occurrence. He hears you and looks up from his phone. "Hey, Jared, you're up! Come over here, I've been thinking."
You're not sure if you like the sound of that. You have the impulse to run. Instead, you just say "Yeah?" and walk over to the couch.
"I've been thinking and these keys are kinda cool and wouldn't mind having the opportunity to test them out."
"Uh. Are you sure about that? I've been kinda worried about using them more than have already..."
"Told you, dude, don't worry about the hydrant thing. You turned me into a dog, then into a hydrant, then back into myself. That's not all that chaotic. And we won't know until we test it further. You're the one who keeps saying I need to commit to a project."
"Well, yeah, I meant you should check out college," you said.
"I missed that opportunity because someone left me as a fire hydrant for a week," Keith said, nudging your arm.
You opened your mouth to object, then thought better of it. Considering the circumstances you supposed you needed to hear Keith out.
Keith continued, "I was thinking, what if we tested out these keys to see if they can be controlled or how they work? Then if we can figure that out, we can figure a way to make money off this. I'm sure some people would pay good money to be a dog for a week or something."
"Really?"
"Totally, you need to slack off on the internet more," Keith said with a wink, "The only issue is testing out the keys without getting in trouble. A way to be sneaky about it. I was thinking maybe we could disguise ourselves in some way."
"Disguise how?"
"Glad you asked," Keith said, picking his phone back up, "I've been doing some research and think that the sneakiest way would be to disguise ourselves as animals that are normally seen in town."
"What are we gonna get costumed o-oh, wait," you glance at the keys on the coffee table, "You can't be serious."
"I am!" Keith said, obviously excited, "And it is another way to test out the keys. I figure if we turn into animals that can still press buttons on the keys, can be sneaky and also have the fun of being an animal. After being a hydrant for a week, I couldn't help thinking how much better it would have been if I had been a dog for a week instead." He scrolled through his phone, "I made a list of animals that are semi-normal to see around the neighbourhood and could reasonably function the keys with their paws. I think this one would work best."
Keith snagged the keys from the coffee table and aimed them at you.
"Wait, maybe we should talk about this m-"
Before Keith hit a button on the keys and everything was obscured by a bright flash of light...
