Lina hesitated a bit. So many choices! And of such exotic drinks! How could she possibly choose? Lina wondered what origins they were from. There was no clear indication of what flavors they held. Lina decided to press a button based upon the logo of the drinks. It was a method as good as another one. Lina saw a logo with a cat-girl in a kimono and she decided upon that one. She reflected it was more than probably Japanese and it was called "Feline Fizz". She was fine with fizzy drinks anyway. With a clang, the machine gave her the can and she opened it. The characteristic noise informed her it was indeed a fizzy beverage. Time to sample...
"So?" Amy said. "What did you pick?"
"This one," answered Lina, showing her the can and its extreme oriental cat creature upon it.
"Looks very geeky," commented Amy dismissively. "Caters to freaks that are way into anime girls."
Lina shrugged.
"It might taste good."
"Still looks designed for weirdos."
In order not to give her friend the last word, Amy gulped the drink openly. She hoped it would taste delicious so as to prove Lina wrong and take back her insinuations of Lina being a weirdo because of this simple can. And indeed, it did taste good. Super good, in fact. It was bubbly, fizzy and had an extraordinary cherry taste. Not chemical at all on the taste buds! Lina licked her lips in appreciation.
"Wow! This is great! Not a cheap fake at all!" she exclaimed.
She hen turned to her friend.
"Seriously, you should taste it!" she said with much enthusiasm.
She thought dimly that if Amy refused, well, it would be more for her and it would be just as well. What she did not know was that this drink induced a transformation. A feline one. One that could eventually make her a legendary feline creature or a normal one. It all depended upin Lina's personality. Unbeknownst to her, she was going to be transformed and her mind might be affected as well.
