The men loaded me into the ambulance. It was hard to do,
because of my weight, but it was still possible. A doctor came
in and sat next to me.
"Hello, Akane. I assume you are scared, or maybe sad?"
"No, just sad, Moo."
"I see, I see." He jotted a few things down. "I've noticed that
you keep mooing after each sentence. Can you help it?" I said
my next sentence very slowly. "I think I can." I managed not to
moo.
"Good! Very good. Obiously, we will have to do a few tests,
Then, we will notify your parents, and..."
"My... parents?" They couldn't know this had happened to me,
they would...
"Anyways, we're going to see if we can do something about
your small problem, and if not, we'll help you move to
somewhere nice, like a farm, or pasture. How does that sound?
" The menttion of the word "Farm" had diverted my thoughts
from my parents to my life. What if I had to become a cow on
the inside, too? What if I had to spend the rest of my life being
milked, having calves, being a cow?
They brought me to some facility and ran tests on me. I was
listening to the results when I felt a tingle down my spine. I
ignored it, but then I dropped in height by one inch in 2 second.
I looked down at my front hooves to see them turning into
human hands. "Hey!" They ignored me and continued talking. I
reached deep inside of my lungs and emitted a loud,
resounding, moo. The doctor looked at me. "What is it Akane?"
He looked at my hands. "Oh god."
As time went on, I very slowly went through a reversal of the
horribly painful transformation I had just experienced. Soon, I
was standing there, human, skinny, and naked. "Can I get
some clothing?I was given 2 towels, which I wrapped around
myself, and I was promptly given the same tests that I had just
gone through. They let me go, and HM, short for host mother,
took me too a fast food joint.
We were both sitting there, having a surprisingly well made
dinner. "So, I guess you're pretty shaken from that experience,
huh?"
"I don't want to talk about it."
"Oh, come on. You were a cow for an hour, so what? I bet very
few people have ever done what you just did!"
I looked at her and sighed. "The problem is," I said "That I
don't feel human."
She stared at me. "And what does that mean?"
"I mean that... I feel like if I concentrated hard enough, I could
turn into a cow. Like I don't have a human soul."
"Well, cow or not, they said we had to go back tomorrow, so
get a good rest."
The next day, a doctor greeted me warmly. "Now, Akane, we
have two small piecesnof news. First of all," He slammed a
paper down on the table. "The test results."
"Akane, we found that we got the same exact results from you
as a human as from you as a cow. Do you understand?"
"No. Not really."
"Akane, whatever made you a cow changed more than just
your body. It made your mind into a cows." So my suspicions
were true. I was a cow.
"And also. We contacted your parents and informed them of
your state."
"Well, what did they say?"
Silence.
"Well?"
"Akane, they legally disowned you." I was shocked. My parents
had given me up to the U.S. government. I got up out of the
chair, and ran out the front door and into the forest.
HM woke me up the next day. I was in a clearing, and I was a
cow again.
"What happened to me?" I could tell from the way she frowned
that it was bad. "Sweetie, i'm sorry about your parents. But I
managed to persaude the government."
"What does that mean?"
"Akane, you're going to live with me."
I sighed. "What's wrong?"
"Well, I know that it sounds weird, but I want to be a cow." She
patted me on the back. "Of course you can be a cow. Do you
want to live on a farm or..." I stopped her. "Yes, I want to live
on a farm and be a cow, but I also want to be human at the
same time."
"Well, then just change the parts of your cow body that you
don't like into human parts." I looked at her. "You think I can do
that?"
"Sure, why not?" It was a good point. I gazed at my hoof. As I
looke, it broke into 5 and turned into a hand. "I can do it!" I
turned back to her. "Can you wait for a while?"
She went behind a tree while I changed. Soon, I was ready.
"O.K., come out!." She walked out from behind the trees. "Oh!"
I was a human, but I had a few changes. First of all, my legs
below the waist had become cow legs. Second, I had longhorn
horns. Third, I had four breasts, making up a cows udder.
Fourth, I had a tail. And fifth, I had two big, long, cow ears.
"How do I look?"
She looked me over. "You actually look pretty." She grabbed
my hand and we started to walk back to civilization.
