As Paul reformed he quickly reached out and grabbed the V-Pet from Tag. Before he could react, he pointed it at him and pressed the download button.
"Looks like the table has been turned", he grinned at the protesting virtual pet which protested, "Come on, let me out." "Sure, but first let me make some adjustments to you." He pressed the menu button and the picture of Tag froze.
Paul didn't want to be mean, however he knew that his only chance of getting restored to normal was through the help of Tag. So he didn't want to change something to subtle or nothing at all as otherwise Tag would have no motivation to change him back, but it shouldn't be to harsh. As he browsed through the menus he got an idea.
First he entered the species menu changing Tag's species to opossum - anthropomorphic. The preview image changed into a version of Tag, still keeping the spiky hair, but adding fairly large pointed ears, a muzzle as well as a tail. His posture also has changed making him appear a bit smaller.
Then he browsed through the clothing menu. He opted to remove the current clothes and the figure went nude, revealing it's grey fur. At first he searched for leather clothing, finding a simple brown leather combination covering the opossum from neck to toe. Then he browsed the armour section. Finding the appropriate items, he added a blue chest armour with a rocket engine on it's back, matching protective boots and gloves as well as goggles.
Looking over the changes, he exited the menu again and pressed restore.
Paul made sure to keep a tight grip on the V-Pet while Tag reformed.
Looking over himself, the opossum wowed, "Amazing, but you are going to change me back, won't you?".
"Sure, right after you restore me. You see none of us can change without somebody else to do it. That's why I gave you this temporary form. I hope you like it.". He grinned.
Tag nodded and looked over his shiny new armour, finding the rocket engine on his back, "You think this would work?"
"It should, after all why else would it be there?", he tosses the V-Pet over to Tag who catches it quite elegantly thinking that that all those years at training to be a rocket knight finally paid off...
"Now will you _please_ change me back.", Paul interrupted his train of thought.
A bit absent minded, the opossum nodded, and pressed the download button.
