As school ended, Jennifer hopped down the stairs and halted beside Rich, who put his arm around her armless shoulders. She leaned into his side and they both watched the six-breasted pig girl Kyle struggle to open the door of her mother's car with her forehooves, before giving up and waiting for someone else to do it. She saw the kangaroo girl and her boyfriend watching her from twenty yards away and blushed furiously, pacing back and forth in frustration. The loud clicking of her built-in shoe-hooves on the sidewalk just added to her embarrassment, and she stopped, shoulders bowed in defeat.
Jennifer looked up at Rich. "That was really cruel", she said.
He glanced down at her. "I know, but was it any worse than what he did to you? And tried to do to me?" She shrugged helplessly. He was right, but it still felt wrong somehow, taking someones life away from them forever. Had she really been so mean to Kyle that this had seemed like fitting revenge to him. Perhaps she WAS to blame for at least some of this.
Rich looked at her, guessing some of what was going through her mind. "Look, for better or worse it's done. He has the curse but can never pass it on or even talk about it, so hopefully that's the end of the damn thing. You're stuck like that, but I'll always be there for you. There's nothing that anyone can do to change the situation now."
She was quiet for a while, holding up a forepaw and staring at it while wiggling the clawed digits. This was what she would have for the rest of her life. Could she live like this?
After a minute or two she sighed, turned to Rich and said, "Come on. I need to call my mother and let her know where I am. Let's go back to your place, I can't face going home at the moment." He nodded, and they began walking (and hopping) towards Rich's home. He was hoping that since he had returned to normal, his SUV would also have reappeared and would be waiting for him when they got there.
As it turned out, it was, and he patted it as they went past. Inside, he sat down in the living room while Jennifer squatted next to him, supported by her tail. They talked for hours, trying to decide what they should do next. There was a year left of high school, and they would be old enough to marry if they so chose after that. Then what, though? College, followed by university, had been what both were planning, but it would be very difficult for a half-kangaroo girl to deal with either, especially without any real hands.
Eventually, she said firmly, "I'm going to try, at least. There are people with far worse disabilities that manage to live full, functional lives, and I'm damned if I'm going to let a little thing like being a weird marsupial hybrid get in the way of doing something with my life."
Rich smiled at her with love in his eyes. She thought for a moment, and added, "Anyway, technically I'm not even disabled. I'm perfectly healthy, just a perfectly healthy kangarootaur. I'm not going to let that stop me." She stood as straight as her body would allow and crossed her forelegs over her kangaroo chest. They wouldn't go as far as human arms would under the same circumstances, but the effect was the same.
Grinning, Rich said "OK, you've made your point, and I agree. Like I said, I'll always be there to help. Now, are you planning on calling your mother?" Jennifer yelped, attempted to put her hands on her cheeks in surprise, and scowled when the limitations of her new body once more became apparent. Even after two days, she kept forgetting.
"I forgot. Where's the phone?" He pointed, and she bounded over to it, then realised she couldn't pick it up or dial a number. Or, for that matter, hold it to her ear. "OK, this is going to be more of a nuisance than I was thinking. Can you dial for me?" Rich came over and dialled the number she told him, then held the phone to the side of her head. She was forced to bend her ear down somewhat to be able to hear it properly, as her kangaroo ears weren't in the conventional position, but managed.
After a short conversation, which mainly involved being told off for not coming home after school or telling her parents where she was going (apparently they hadn't realised she had spent last night with Rich, for some reason probably due to the curse), she calmed her mother down and told her she was studying with a friend and would be home late. Which was almost true.
She was dreading going home, not wanting her parents and sister to see her like this, but realised that logically they believed she had ALWAYS been like this, like everyone else did. Presumably her house was even set up for a kangarootaur.
After the phone call, she stood looking out the window for some time, deep in thought. Rich left the room after a while and made some snacks in the kitchen, the brought the food and a bottle of wine in. They snuggled on the sofa, watching a dvd and drinking. A couple of hours later both were slightly feeling the effects of the alcohol, but had held off drinking as much as the night before.
Jennifer looked at Rich who was resting his head on her shoulder, and shyly asked, "Can you help me get this halter off?" He glanced down in mild surprise, then realised what she meant. Her huge breasts wobbled around as the garment was removed, and soon he was naked as well. They just fooled around a little for some time, Rich lifting and fondling her enormous breasts, and tugging lightly on her ridiculously long nipples. She found she really enjoyed the feeling this generated, and watched in amazement as her nipples lengthened and stiffened to the point the looked like small penises.
Eventually they got more into it, and inevitably were working out all over again how sex between a kangarootaur and a human worked, having forgotten most of what they'd learned last night due to the large amount of wine consumed. It took quite a lot of maneuvering and giggling, but they managed, and it was even better than before. Once more she had multiple orgasms, much more intense than she had ever managed as a human. This strange body definitely seemed to have some advantages in this area. It didn't make up for the whole being half-kangaroo thing, but it helped.
She leaned back against the sofa, watching Rich who had gone to get more wine. She frowned, staring at his chest. Something looked wrong, but it took her a moment to work out what it was. It suddenly struck her. "Rich? There's something weird going on with your nipples!" he looked down at his chest and nearly dropped the open wine bottle. His nipples seemed to be sticking out much more than the should.
He put the bottle on the small side table near the sofa, and reached up to feel his nipples. Touching them send a wave of sexual feelings rolling though him. This definitely wasn't normal. What was happening? He knelt down next to Jennifer, who had pushed herself up to all four legs and tail, with her torso reared back. She leaned forward, inspecting him closely, and realised that not only were his nipples much longer and thicker than normal, but they were growing steadily. And the growth was getting faster!
Rich was very worried by now. What the hell was going on? A strange swelling sensation began around his nipples, which were by now over an inch long. As they both stared openmouthed, his chest began to expand into breasts. The mammaries grew and grew, staying firm but expanding over more and more of his chest. They realised more or less simultaneously that they were going to end up duplicates of the ones sprouting from Jennifer.
"The curse!" shouted Rich. "It's got to be. But HOW?" He reached up and lifted his by now huge breasts, which were still growing. They were very heavy, but incredibly sensitive to the touch. He let go hurriedly, and winced when they flopped down and rebounded, slapping together in the process. He stood and paced around the room, frowning when he realised that his breasts were swaying from side to side and bouncing up and down. By now they had stopped growing, but were indeed identical to Jennifer's.
"I don't understand", said Jennifer, staring at him. "You stopped Kyle from passing the curse on, and neither one of us has it anymore. How could it be affecting you now?" She looked more closely. His ears were slowly changing shape and position, sliding up the sides of his head and sprouting fur.
He stopped and swung to face her, again wincing when his lavish breasts kept going, the right one slapping into the left and bouncing off it. They were incredibly elastic, wobbling back and forth several times until they settled down. "I have no idea. I thought I'd worked out all the loopholes and plugged them." He became aware of his ears and raised his hands to feel them, as they settled into their final configuration, obviously the ears of a kangaroo. Just like Jennifer's.
He felt something odd happening just above his rear, and reached back. The beginnings of a kangaroo tail were slowly developing. both of them racked their brains trying to work it out. Over the next few minutes his tail grew in, and forelegs sprouted from his hips. The change seemed to pause there for a while, and he eventually tried sitting down. His tail made this very awkward, and he ended up lying on his side on the floor near Jennifer. She reached out with a foreleg and stroked one of his breasts. The feelings this engendered were very nice, and he didn't complain.
Nothing more happened for a while, but he was becoming more and more aroused by her paw on his huge breast. He reached up and began playing with his nipples, rolling and tugging them. His erection was throbbing away, and still keeping his hands on his breasts he began to stroke his penis with his forepaws. After a while they were both so aroused they could do nothing else but have sex once more. It was even better this time. His breasts made the whole experience almost overwhelming.
A few minutes after they finished, his legs tingled and began to change. He looked down in resignation as his whole lower body gradually warped and shifted, ending up once more the body of a kangaroo, exactly like he had had when he woke up that morning. As his arms began to shrink into his shoulders, and his whole torso began to take on a more feminine appearance, he realised that he was changing back into the duplicate of Jennifer from the neck down that Kyle had originally specified.
The change finally stopped, and he pushed himself to his feet. Inspecting himself, he saw that as far as he could tell he was once more a kangarootaur. His arms were gone, and he reached up with a forepaw and wiped the sweat from his forehead. What the hell had happened?
Jennifer finally worked it out. Thinking very carefully, she tried to recall exactly the wording of the curse that Kyle had used on her. "Oh fuck", she said out loud when it struck her. Rich awkwardly hopped around to face her, his breasts jiggling furiously.
"What?" he asked.
"I know what happened. It's obvious, what he said when he curse me, but we missed it. He said 'When you have sex with him, he will change into an exact duplicate of you, the exception being that he will keep his face and voice to remind him of what he once was.' Don't you see? Kyle said 'when' I had sex with you. Not ONCE I had sex with you, but WHEN. The curse is still active. You made him change you back, but as soon as I had sex with you again it reactivated and changed you again, just like he said."
Rich stared at her in disbelief. She was right. He moaned, and dropped his head. "And since I made sure he can never pass the curse along again, I'm as stuck as he is."
She stood, and hopped over to him. Putting a forepaw on his hip, she leaned closer so her breasts rubbed against his. "We're both stuck, but at least we have each other. We'll figure it out." He smiled at her through his tears. It was going to be hard, but they'd manage.
