"... a dog?"
"A dog?" asked Robert. "I was thinking something more excotic, like a lion... or a dolphin."
"Oh, so being turned into a common animal is not 'excotic' anymore?'' replied Ray. "And besides, if you'll turn into a wild animal, we won't be able to be together... and you know how sad it'll make us both. As a dog, though, we will have all the fun, together!"
Robert nodded. "Sounds right. I will really miss you, and enjoying it with you will be much better. So, what excactly were you thinking about?"
"Let me see," said Ray, and Robert handed him the Chronivac. Ray looked at the options, thinking, and after a while, he said: "I've made my decision."
"What is that?" asked Robert curiously.
"You will turn into a 4 years old Border Collie. I also setted reality alteration on and played with the awerness settings, so no one will notice that you've changed-everyone will think that you were my dog since your puppy-hood. And for this section, I knew you'd like to make the choice. It's the mind change. What do you want me to mark there?"
"No change, obviously. I want to be myself. Turning my mind into dog's will not let me really enjoy and appriciate my changes."
"Hmm. About the enjoyment part, I'm pretty sure you're wrong, but you're right about the second part. But... hmm. What do you say about not changing your mind, but letting some doggie instincts in? You'll stay yourself, but you will have basic instincts, such as walking and eating, so you won't be completely lost."
"That's a good idea," said Robert, and Ray typed it in.
"Anything else, dude?"
"No, I don't think so... Oh, have you remembered to set it so I'll change back after a week? I want to experince being more than just a dog."
"You haven't said it earlier. Let's see... here, now it's done. I'm ready when you are," said Ray, and looked at Robert in the eyes. "You sure you want to do this? You look a little frightened."
"Of course I am! I'm about to change into a fricking animal! But yes, I'm sure, I'm all for it. Just do it now, before I lose my courtage."
"Alrighty!" said Ray excitedly, and clicked on "Transform".
