“I want to do option 4,” Lucy says, before making her choice.
A small pill came out of the dispenser, which she quickly grabs and swallows. She sways around as the changes begin to take effect. They start with her skin, which slowly becomes pink, furry fabric. A few seconds later, she looks at her hands, which round off at the ends of her arms. The same happens to her legs. Her body expands a bit, with more of it becoming fabric. All the while, Lucy’s clothing disappears, leaving her changing body completely naked.
“This is so cool!” your girlfriend says.
Finally, her face starts to change. Her eyes become little beads, her nose and mouth extend outward, her mouth become nothing but a little sewn on bit of thread in the shape of a smile, and her ears point upward, and move to the top of her head. Soon, her hair merges with her head, which puffs up a bit. Then, she shrinks down. You gaze in awe at the pink stuffed cat standing at your feet.
“How do I look?” Lucy asks as she waddles up to you.
You bend down to look at her and reply, “Adorable.”
“You need to change too Bryan!” your girlfriend squeals.
Hastily, you select option number 4, and swallow the pill that is dispensed.
Sure enough, your changes begin. Things appear to go the same as with Lucy, but with blue furry fabric instead. You feel tingly as all the little transformations happen. Your hands, mouth, nose, and ears all shift around and change much like they did on Lucy. When they’ve all finished, you notice that your ears at the top of your head feel significantly longer. Thinking this odd, you’re suddenly shrunk down to your girlfriend’s level.
“You’re so cute as a little doggy plush!” Lucy comments.
That explains why you’re ears feel so long. You’re a stuffed dog.
Soon, the door to the room opens, and you’re allowed back into the hotel foyer. A mirror is placed outside the door, so you both get the chance to look at your new forms.
“Where do you want to go now that we’re toys?” your girlfriend asks.
You suggest, “How about we check out our room?”
“That sounds like a great idea!” Lucy exclaims, “We might even meet the people we’re sharing the room with!”
“Wait, sharing?” you ask, apprehensively.
“Yeah!” Lucy informs, “We stay in a room with people who aren’t transformed. They get to play with us and…”
“That… doesn’t sound like a good idea,” you interrupt, “What if we’re paired up with some weirdo, or a family with a lot of kids.”
“Bryan,” your girlfriend sighs, “It’ll be fine. The people we stay with are told we’ve been transformed.”
“But…” you try to say, before a member of staff bends down to talk to you both.
“Hi there,” she says with a chipper tone, “How was your transformation?”
“Good,” Lucy replies, “We’d like to head to our room now, though.”
“Just as I thought,” the staff member says, as she picks you both up and places you in a gray plastic bin with very short sides, and the hotel logo printed on it, “What’s your room number?”
You recite it, with slight fear. The staff member nods, and carries the platform away, further into the hotel. Then she stops by one door. It has your room number on it. The staff member asks you and your girlfriend again if this is your room.
“I think the people you’re sharing with have already checked in,” the staffer says.
“Fantastic,” you think.
“Great!” Lucy exclaims, in contrast to you.
The staffer takes one hand off of the bin, and knocks. You see the doorknob jiggle, before it opens.
