As the children roughhoused, it was inevitable that some of them pretended to be animals. Alibaba paid attention, and as each boy or girl chose a beast, he or she started to become an anthro version like Leon. The first was the red-haired boy, who claimed to be a zebra and ran from Leon so he wouldn't get 'eaten'. As the two boys ran around the playground, the red-haired boy's face started to push out, and his hair darkened. A stripe pattern of black and white spread over his skin, and his clothing vanished to reveal furred hide of a zebra. When Leon finally pounced on the boy, he was a full zebra morph. A girl stomped around as an elephant, becoming larger and covered in wrinkled hide as a trunk pushed out from her face. A boy and girl ran along with Leon, both getting the same tawny fur and muzzles and they changed into anthro female lion cubs. And the dark-haired boy swinging from the monkey bars devolved until he was a young baboon. All of the children were naked and accepted he changes as normal.
Alibaba grinned. These children, like Leon, no longer had normal human pasts. They had been born as anthro animals and everyone remembered them that way. The beast children finally broke up to head to their homes, and the 8 year-old Leon came over looking flushed and happy. "That was fun!" Then he looked confused as his body stretched back up to the teenage version of the lion morph. "Oh! Wow - that was amazing! And it didn't count?"
The djinn shook his head. "Nope. You can be any age you want with me around." Leon did not remember the kids as having ever been human, either. "So, what do you want to do next, Master?"
