"Great." Rick said with an eye roll. "So, how'll you be changing into my daughter. I assume you're not going to go with the regular, chaos mode or whatever."
"Nope, I think I'll use the Blend in mode... onnnn, ah, how about that American Girl store!" Said Emily with excitement as she looked at the overly girly shop.
"Of course you would pick something like that." Said Rick as he rolled his eyes. "Well, take the picture and let's go back to having fun with the camera."
"Actually..." Started saying Emily with a devilish smile, very fitting for the 7 years old boy she currently was. "I want my dear mommy to take the picture!" Said Emily, offering Rick the camera.
"... Really, Em?"
"What's wrong, mom? Are you angry with your dear and loved son?" Said Emily in a joking tone, really enjoying the experience.
"Ugh, for the love of..." Said Rick as he took the camera, making sure it was all set up correctly, and aimed the camera at Emily, who positioned herself in front of the store. "Say cheese, sweetie." Jokingly, Rick said in a motherly tone as he took the picture.
FLASH
Rick looked down, expecting to see Emily standing there as intended... only for his heart to drop upon seeing that nobody was there. For a moment, panic filled him. Had something gone wrong? Had he used the wrong mode? However, the truth became quite clear after he glanced back up, brushed his long hair aside, and saw what was now on display in the store window.
_________________________________________________________
Emily was very much thrown off. She was no longer standing in front of her boyfriend turned mother... but behind glass? She glanced around, only to see that she was behind a store window.
"What the hell?" Is what she WANTED to say, but Emily quickly found her mouth wouldn't budge one bit.
She then tried to move her head, then an arm, then her legs, but nothing worked. From what she could feel, she felt like she was standing with a slight turn in her torso, and felt her arm was lifted partially into the air, with something hanging off of it. Just then, she got another crazy shock as a giant approached.
_________________________________________________________
Rick approached the window, staring down in awe. Standing in the window was a doll. It had long, brown hair made of fibers, pale skin made of plastic, and a felt outfit adorning her. She was dressed straight out of the early 2000s... with a thin red scarf around her neck, a barrette on her head, a nice vest and tight jeans, of course, all scaled to fit her squat toy height.
In her hand was a purse, and below that was a little sign on it with just a few words, which Rick muttered aloud.
"Meet our newest girl... Emily!" He gasped aloud, amazed that in a split second Emily had transformed from a living, breathing boy into an inanimate girly doll.

"... Emily!" The woman boomed, sounding very loud despite being separated by thick glass.
"God... hey Rick." She thought meekly, still baffled by how terribly this turned out. "I thought when I blended myself with the store, I'd become more like their most common customer... not their products!"
"Oh, are you, like, interested in our new doll?" A new woman's voice suddenly arose from just out of Emily's vision.
The blonde woman stepped into sight, and Emily watched as she approached Rick, who quickly hid the camera in the purse he now carried. Rick smiled awkwardly at the woman, and then clearly made up a bluff.
"Uh, yes! Ha, I just, saw the name and I um... am very familiar with someone with the name is all."
"Ha, such a small world we live in!" She laughed in an obnoxious tone. "Well, if she's young enough, perhaps you'd like to buy the doll for her?"
"U-uh, maybe I'm just gonna, um, think it over." Rick replied, giving an awkward smile back.
"Okie dokie." THe woman said before walking back to the entrance of the store.
"Jesus Em, what've we gotten into." The gorgeous woman that had been rick whispered, leaning down to get closer to the glass.
"No kidding." Emily thought in response. She also thought over what could've been... like when she thought about altering one of their awareness. If she had changed Rick's awareness or her own, then she'd be a doll forever, or thought she always was one... could she even have thought that? If she wasn't aware, would she just be a simple toy?
The thought both terrified and kinda turned her on, so she shoved those confusing ideas aside and just decided to focus on the attractive woman in the window.

Rick, meanwhile, was thinking about the best way to restore her. From what he could see inside, there was a whole shelf with boxes of Emily dolls. While creepy to him, he realized that meant he couldn't, say, buy her and bring her somewhere safer to transform as the lady would just hand him a different box, leaving the real Emily still on display.
So what mode could he try? Random would definitely change her, though who freaking knew into what?! He could try blend in again, but on a person, so maybe she'd be one too... or just a different kind of doll. He could try role swap, as that would make her 100% a person, but then they'd have to deal with knowing they just left somebody trapped as a toy. Maybe with a lot of effort, they could get around that? Twinning could work too, but wouldn't that mean Emily's body could be gone? They'd have to try for a bunch of twinning and blend ins with her family to fix that one. Shit, would fusion be an even remotely good idea?
"Shit, why is this so tough?" He thought to himself. He glanced down, and saw the two breasts nestled in his girlish top. Then he looked up at the toy that was his girlfriend and sighed, regretting ever agreeing to mess with this damned thing.
"Okay, listen up Em, I'm gonna..." Rick began to explain his plan.
