Explaining to Pete that she saw this alligator in the swamped area during work while also petting it's reptilian face as phoebe felt something like slime coming off of it, and slipped onto her fingures for she even tasted it. the flavor was like apple jelly that she then told Pete it looked like a the ones similar to the syfy movie alligator alley as she later went home for she didn't feel like herself. Phoebe's stomach started to ack and slept it off when the next thing she knew as to what was going on, Phoebe was turning into an alligator for she then thought that she ate her friend's rabbit she was looking after while her friend was away on a trip.
Telling Pete everything about her story for it seemed to be farfetched to someone else that they might as will think she was just crazy for they'll just only see her nothing else than a talking gator and send her off to who know where. Thiking maybe they'll send her off to the zoo with other alligators of her new kin, the circus to do tricks while having everyone else think that she was born an animal with human knowledge, even to the point of her being caged up in a freak show as she will mostly have everyone to see her as they'll be wondering if her tale is true and how she got this way or not. for her to cry on these options in fear like this as the thought of never getting any help ever again that another thought of her just being tapped shut and being hand handled by a total stranger on how to handle an alligator, before skining them up for money was to much for the both of them to bare.
Pete gasped however, he believed her story. as he was about to do something no human would ever live on doing that he felt guilty of hiding the truth from her, not sure if he should share his secret with her just yet. so he made a little light lie as he remembers about the missing disappointed reports of people who have gone missing were now back safely with their families and made it sound like they were turned into animals through out their time, but Pete weren't sure if she'll believe it to be true that there was only one way to find out. He swallowed hard, without her noticing as Pete soon told her about it.
"Ah, yeah...... So, um, listen, there's something about that I've been meaning to tell you. You're not going to believe this, bit it involves with those disappeared missing people reports." Pete gently began to say while slowly easing up a little of her fears on what was going on here, and what was to become of her next. Phoebe listened carefully, bracing herself for what's to come over her from becoming an alligator from yesterday that within moments is where Phoebe heard Pete about on what actually happened to those missing people as she was about to find out first hand on what it was while figuring out what this all has to do with her.
"You see, somewhere down in a remote area of the forest that people were actually changed into animals. they mostly spent most of their missing time period like nature tended them to be as they were living free, and in the wild. Yet some chose to have someone watch over them like pets, till it was time for them to return home by living with their families. And now, it looks like it's your turn to see thing on what this can offer you." Pete said as he was hoping that she believed most of his made up story on how those missing people that came back home to their own families, even if the part of them becoming animals was not true. Still though, did she bought the story?
"Wa- wait a minute. You knew, you knew all along about what was going on with those disappearance and you never had the nerve and told anyone about what was going on with them? Right from the geko? You could of at least told their parents on this, they were sick and worried about their home safety. Also, how is this possible?" Phoebe said angerly as she was almost ready to look like attacking Pete for this, holding out on her with this information.
"If I were to tell them as to where they were that they would have started to ask questions on how I found them, how that only knew of their safety, what happened to them, why were they there. All of these questions and could of been answered, but telling them that they were all turned into animals would of thrown them into a loop to crazy land. they wouldn't believe me on the information that I'm telling you now, not without proof anyway. that being said, would you believe me if this happened aftrr on telling all of this and what was going on in the woods? to even one of your friend?" Pete said back while covering his made up story as she decided to slowly think this through.
"Yeah-..., you got a good point." Phoebe said as he was right, she wouldn't believe in him on this story as she would of thought that he had gone cuckoos. Not believing a word he said, not without evidence of what was happening as she nowhere near human anymore.
"That being said, this would explain on why I've always been seeing you so attractive as of late. So, how long till I change myself back? Do I need to think of my former self to change back, a condition of what needs to be done, or is there a time limit on how this works?" Phoebe said as she was in so much of being surprised by all that is happening here, she had to possess this to lay down flat on the ground while bathing in the sun light's rays.
She didn't feel so good of knowing what was going on with those missing people as for what they were doing at the time. Phoebe tried to wrap her head around this, while struggling to keep her thoughts strait from this acking headache. she slowly began to ask him more questions as Pete did his best to answer them all, and answering them all he did for Pete his best at it.
"Yeah, I know the feeling to what you're going through. Still though, I need you to calm down as i'll explain everything. 'Oh boy, where do I start?' First off, You have to understand that didn't intend to trick you, nor wanted to frightened you by telling on what was actually going on here. Secondly, I was told not to say anything about it while keeping it to secrecy. Phoebe...... please, for give me."
Now he was Feeling guilty for hiding the actual truth from her that you were ready to have Phoebe reject you, if anything else was to have her chew you and spit you out like garbage. But that's not what happened next as you were surprised to what came after. You noticed that she was swishing her fat reptilian alligator tail around, like a dog.
After words as the discussion was over and eveything was calm down a bit, they were then Spending the day mostly back in the swap area where alligator Pete first met Phoebe that this wasn't so bad. there wasn't much of any problems for phoebe as she swam and traveled down the river from Pete's pond and back into the swap, with him by her side as they caught some fish to eat together, dove while playing underwater at times, why they even rested along by the side of the river bank shore. Life was good to them as Phoebe decided to even snuggle up beside Pete, before realizing that he was coming to close of her new found life he struggle to hide his powers from.
