Mary had an uneventful morning as she made herself some toast, read the newspaper, and had a cup of tea. It was when she got out of the shower and began to towel off that her first change into her saurian shape took place.
As Mary was drying her feet she felt a sharp pulse of energy ripple down her spine that made her stand at attention in sudden shock. She blinked in alarm and turned slightly to look at her back, to find a tiny growth just above her buttocks. She smiled warmly and walked over to the mirror to examine her rear, and discovered a tiny nub barely an inch long dangling from the bottom of her back. It was thin and came to a point. “A tail!” Mary giggled in delight, rubbing the tiny flesh colored growth and watching in amazement as she felt another pulse and the nub stretched out a little longer between her fingers. “It’s the start of my tail!”
She quickly checked the rest of herself in the mirror, and found only her nails to be an almost immeasurable bit longer. She waited in anticipation for more than twenty minutes, but no other changes came. Feeling more and more excited and energized; she finished drying herself and sat naked on her bed, waiting for anything else, barely breathing in case she missed something.
The sudden ring of her telephone by the bed snapped her back to reality suddenly.
She grabbed the receiver and spoke timidly. “Uh, hello?”
“Hey, baby!” her boyfriend Jim replied playfully, “ready for the big dinner tonight?”
Oh no! The dinner with Jim’s parents! She had been so amazed by the vials that she completely forgotten! It was the first time that Mary was going to introduced to her lover’s parents, and now she was starting to turn into a dinosaur! “Uh, I’m having second thoughts about doing it tonight, Jimmy. I’m feeling a little dinosaur. Err… sore!” Mary winced at her slip, hoping she didn’t sound insane.
“Um,” Jim replied, “look, I know you don’t want to do the whole meet my folks thing, but it’s really important to me. I love you, baby, I want you to be a part of my life. They’ve been looking forward to meeting you all week. See you at 5:00 baby doll?”
Mary sighed heavily and smiled. “I’ll see you then, Jim. Love you!”
“Love you too, Mary!” Jim said happily, and he hung up.
Mary hung up the phone and sighed. She couldn’t be sure she’d still be human by then. As if to confirm her doubts, she felt another strong pulse burn at her body, and gasped. There was a strange creaking noise coming from within her body, like she was being stretched from the inside. It lasted only a couple of seconds, but it left Mary somewhat disorientated.
“Ooh,” the changing woman moaned, “that felt so weird!” Mary got up from the bed and steadied herself to find she had changed more! In astonished glee she looked over herself to find her frame had swollen slightly, that she was a bit plumper around the hips and waist, and especially the rear. Her tiny start of a tail had become almost three inches long, and she felt strangely taller.
Mary ran to the bathroom and a quick check in the mirror standing against the wall revealed that she was quite a bit taller, maybe by a few inches. Her long blonde hair had receded up to the middle of her back, as well.
Now a little nervous, Mary spent some time searching through the vials to find out exactly what she was becoming. Of course, she couldn’t find the vial she had drank, because it was now refilled. Great! Now she couldn’t even be certain what species of dinosaur she was becoming.
Mary wasn’t stupid, however. She picked up the human female vial and set it aside in case her changes got out of control. As it was, they were coming in tiny spurts, but in time she’d certainly be less human and didn’t want it to spoil her important dinner.
The dinner! She checked the clock and found that it was 4:00! She only had a half-hour to get ready!
