Tricia couldn't believe that Samantha was able to hold a normal conversation while having lunch with a strangely colored cowgirl. Even more, Tricia couldn't believe how easily she was able to respond to Samantha as if this was just an ordinary day. The changes she had made to herself felt so natural there were moments where she had even forgotten the fact herself. She'd only remember when she reached for her glass and saw her hand, or felt her tail twitch involuntarily at the gusts air whenever the cafe door was opened.
After Mel brought them their checks, Tricia decided to ask Samantha over to her place so she could show her the remote. Samantha, however, said "I've got to go back to my place and work up a report for a meeting tomorrow. See you soon?"
"Yeah, I'll call you tomorrow," Tricia answered. She was a little disappointed, but it could wait for a better time. Samantha had gotten lucky landing a pretty cozy job right out of high school, but it meant working hard to prove to her bosses that she deserved it. Tricia sighed as she remembered that she had work the next day as well.
On the lonely walk home, Tricia noticed that she didn't really need the coat she had brought along. It was a little chilly, but her black fur seemed to handle it without a problem. She hadn't thought of the physical perks of having a fur coat.
When she got back home, she hung the coat in the closet and examined the remote some more. There were clothing options built into it, and more. The remote seemed capable of changing nearly everything about the world, not just people. Maybe she'd finally be able to decorate her drab apartment, even expand it. Something she wanted to do, but couldn't afford on a grocery clerk's salary.
Then another thought came to mind. "Could it...?" she said to herself. She looked at the buttons until she found a small blue one that said "COPY." She pulled a few bills out of her purse and laid them on the table. Carefully, she positioned her thick index finger over the button and pointed the remote at the five dollar bill.
