"Let's check with Lata!" Ben said, trying to control his urges and his massive erection. Come on I'm still a human, he thought to himself, let's try to be a bit more normal for now.
"Sure, I'm curious to what she found out! She even wanted to show me something, do you need help walking?" Liam said cheerfully, pointing to his friends new hooves.
"No I think I'll be fine" Ben quickly rejected his friends offer, and stood up. His hooves did take some getting used to but the horse boy managed to walk out of the stalls. "Shall we?" he added as he turned away from the stall and trotted towards the house, his tail swinging behind him.
Liam's house was a typical farm house with an office attached to it. In the driveway was however a very expensive car parked, which could never have belonged to Liam's dad.
"Hello boys" a female voice spoke with a british accent, right outside the barn.
Not expecting the sudden appearance of Lata, Liam jumped almost a foot in the air.
"JEEZ, that's not funny!" the startled boy yelled, while his horsey friend laughed.
"Dude you should have seen your face! Hi Lata" Ben said laughingly.
"I see my prediction was accurate so far, I hope you have been keeping to my instructions?" The witch greeted Ben.
Lata was in all fairness, a very beautiful woman. Although a bit pale, she had long wavy black hair, and bright green eyes.
"I have, I just hope that you can find something I could wear as clothes so I don't have to be naked all the time!" Ben answered with a nervous laugh, knowing full well he was completely exposed in front of the witch.
"I know it is uncomfortable, but it is necesarry at least until we can safely experiment with that idea, for now it is the safest to bet not for you to wear clothes" Lata answered the young boy, fully understanding his desire to be at least somewhat normal.
"Speaking of experiments, I have discovered something that might be interesting, but it is not for you Ben, but for Liam" the witch said, turning towards the now once again startled boy.
"Me, what would you need me for" Liam splurted out.
Ben mentally facepalmed for his friend. He was absolutely hopeless around women.
"I think I have found a spell, or rather a potion, that would allow you to mimic Benjamin's changes, however these would be completely voluntary and you would be able to revert all changes at any time you so desire" Lata explained.
Ben quickly interjected, "Wait what?? You want Liam to do what?" The boy said, absolutely flabbergasted at the thought.
Although, it would be extremely nice to have someone go through the changes with him, he wouldn't feel so alone all the time.
"I don't know, that sounds... that sounds..." Liam was speechless, and had a difficult time finding his words.
"I already talked to your dad about this, he said he is completely fine with it as long as it is voluntary and reversible, but he said it is also your decision, he also said that means you could do the same work Ben has agreed to do", the witch added, trying to be more helpful towards the stuttering boy.
Liam thought long and hard. Did he really want to do this? It would be a total blast to be able to turn into an animal! He was actually quite a bit jealous of his friend, besides Ben would finally have someone to talk to whilst he was an animal!
On the other hand, he wouldn't be able to help his friend like usual.
Liam made up his mind, looked Lata directly in the eye and said:
