The feral raccoon stood up on his hind legs as he grew in size & took on a humanoid shape. Soon it was as big as a man & then reached up with its hands & flipped off its own head to reveal a head underneath. This raccoon was actually a man wearing a feral raccoon Animal Costume. "Oh my God. You're Bandit Richard?" He looked to see his friend Maxwell looking at him with a shocked look. The man Richard said trying to think of a way out "I'm not Bandit your raccoon. I am..." Maxwell then pointed to the computer & told him "The computer camera caught you changing before 8 months ago." Richard knew he was done so he walked over & sat down on the couch. Maxwell walked over & sat in a chair across from Richard. "So explain." Maxwell demanded. Richard sighed & told Maxwell "I got this feral raccoon costume to experience life as a wild raccoon for the Summer. And it was going great at first. But then I got caught in a cage trap. After that I was shipped to the pet shop you bought me from." Maxwell thought about that for a few & then asked "Why did you only twice forms?" Richard sighed "I only had two chances to do so unnoticed. Or so I thought. I nearly got caught last time by your sister & this time by you." Maxwell thought about that & asked "Do you like being our pet raccoon?" Richard answered kinda embarrassed "Yes I do. I do alot." Maxwell thought about that & stated "We did pay alot for a pet raccoon..." Richard nodded "You sure did for me." Maxwell then stated "You were quite expensive..." Richard nodded "Frankly I think you got ripped off." Maxwell got up saying "And we all love you as Bandit. Be a sad if Bandit disappeared..." Richard getting where he was going stated "Would be." Maxwell sat back down. "I could stay as Bandit from now on." Richard stated. "We did buy you as a feral raccoon to be our pet." Maxwell stated. "And not tell anyone the truth about me." Richard stated. "As long as you stay fully as a feral raccoon no one will know." Maxwell told him. Richard got up & then down on all fours & stated "And we'll forget all of what happened just now." Maxwell nodded as Richard flipped the costume head over his own. "Yep. This never happened." Maxwell stated as Richard almost instantly shrank changing back into the feral raccoon known as Bandit. Maxwell went over to the computer, found the video file of Richard changing & erased it. Richard stayed in the costume as the feral raccoon Bandit permanently from then on. Maxwell went back to treating him as just a raccoon & never spoke of what he knew about Bandit (Richard) ever. Ultimately Bandit died of old age & was buried in the backyard like any other pet. Bandit had a good happy life.
The End of this Tale.
