Lina's legs began to tingle. "Oh, no, not again!" she moaned as her boots tightened. Her legs were swelling up from the hips down, and as her boots were strained past their limit, they began to melt away until Lina was left with bare feet. Black hairs started to grow all the way down her legs. "Ew! What's happening now?" she cried.
Apprehension dawned on Amy's striped face. "I know!" she said. "You were talking about looking more devilish!"
"But I didn't WANT it!" Lina screamed as she fell on her butt. Her feet were changing so fast, she was thrown off-balance. They were elongating into the hind legs of some kind of animal. Her toes were growing and melting together into a dark red substance.
"Hooves," Amy said. "Like mine, only red."
"I can see that!" Lina said, very troubled at this point. Her head was pounding and her legs itched like crazy. Her dark denim shorts started to split up the sides from her growing hips.
"Lina, your head!"
Lina looked sideways into the floor-length mirror. Out of her forehead grew two long, slender horns. They were the same dark red as her shirt and the streaks in her hair. When she gasped, two long furry black ears perked up from the sides of her head. Instead of gasping a second time, Lina chose to shriek. She clutched the ears and pressed them against her head, hoping they'd shrink back into her head. She could feel a half-dozen little earrings pierced into them.
"I'm a total freak now," Lina whimpered.
Amy grunted and stamped a hoof. "Who are you to complain? You actually look kinda cool like that. People are going to look at me and feel nauseous!"
Lina was unresponsive. Clearly her transformation was frightening her.
Sympathetic, Amy walked over to Lina and knelt down to hold her. "I'm sorry. It'll be okay, though. The manager's gonna come any minute and fix everything." She looked into the mirror at both of their new forms. She wasn't sure whether she liked them or not...although they certainly looked interesting. "Maybe if I just had regular colors I'd look okay," she thought aloud.
Lina, meanwhile, sobbed into her pale arms quietly.
