I woke up the next morning to find Molly in the kitchen, checking the fridge.
"Hey," I said. "Whatcha doin'?"
"Just hungry" she said.
I observed Molly's body. She was definitely taller than she had been, and a bit beefier, too.
"So, felt any changes?" I asked.
"No, but my ears are itching like crazy!" Absentmindedly, she reached up and scratched her ears.
"Gah!" She grabbed her head and shook it. I bent down to help her, but she stopped me.
"I- It's just the change, okay? Look, I'll be okay." She closed her eyes, and it started.
Her ears grew in size, to about twice their original shape. They began to round out, and became thicker, as well as furrier. The insides became pink, and they moved to the top of her head.
"See? It's done." She let out a sigh. "I'm really sorry I have to put you through this, Drew. I'll be okay, trust me."
I was surprised. Molly was becoming an animal, but she was apologizing to me.
"Hey, Molly, how about I make you a bit of breakfast?"
She smiled wide, showing off her large teeth. "Thanks!"
