Tony turns from the door and walks toward his friend.
"Hey man. Why are you so pale all of a sudden. You look sick or something." Tony says as he gazes at his friend in concern.
"Im not feeling good at all. My whole body is tingly... and look." Chris reaches around and pulls his tail forward to that Tony can see it. He holds it up in front of him like an offering. "Look. I have a tail. A donkey tail."
"Thats... impossible man. How can you have a donkey tail?" Tony says as he grabs the Chris's tail and holds it in his hands.
Chris can feel Tony's touch on his furry tail, its a new sensation for him and its a bit unpleasant feeling him bend it. "Ow hey! That hurts ya know. You cant bend it that much!" Chris pulls it away and lets it flop behind him.
He feels a little exposed standing there in just his spandex swim trunks. He and his friend would be doing laps right now if this hadnt happened. He looks at Tony and wonders whats going through his mind too, his own thoughts are rapid, oddly disjointed, clouded by fear and realization suddenly washing over him.
"Sorry I... your ears!" Tony takes a little step back as he sees his friends ears.
They are pointed, not unlike the way elves would look in movies, only larger. As he watches they continue to extend until they are a good six inches long and protruding from the side of his friends head. With a little gasp Chris reaches up to touch them as they sprout hair, the same color as his, but finer and a lot more of it. His fuzzy ears perk up a little and he find he can move them with muscles he didnt have before.
"The donkeys in the pool area. It makes sense now. I know why people come here and dont come back!" Chris shouts as he realizes what is happening to him.
"How do we make it stop?! I dont want a donkey for a best friend. I dont want to be a donkey either!" Tony's eyes are wide with fear as he continues to back away from his friend.
"Lets go outside, maybe we can find a way back to the main-lan.. HAW!" Chris brays loudly again and grunt a little at the end like he is in pain. His stomach growls loudly and he grips his chest.
