Jeff woke up, and was surprised to find a very large dragon, just outside the cave staring directly at him. At first, he thought that he was till dreaming. Then the dragon spoke.
"Morning, sleepyhead. I was wondering when you were going to finally get up, Jeff, " said the creature. The shock that not only could the thing talk, but knew his name brought him to full attention.
Did Elizabeth use the Chronivac again? he thought. Has reality shifted in some bizarre way?
He looked at himself, and was grateful to see that he was still normal. No horse-cock , or anything. Everything looked the same. He looked closely at the creature. It looked like a large alligator with horns on its head. The face looked inhuman, like no one he would recognize, but the voice sounded a little familiar.
"Elizabeth? Is that you? " he asked.
The creature laughed loudly, scaring him a little. He hoped he had not made it angry. "Of course not, silly. Don't you recognize me? I know I've changed a little, but it's still me, Leslie, " she said.
Now he recognized the voice. It was much deeper, with a gravely tone, but it was definitely Leslie's voice. He looked around the cave, and saw that the anthro-horse woman he had gone to bed with was gone, now replaced by this massive dragon. She must have left the cave some time in the night while he was asleep. He doubted that she would be able to fit in the cave now.
"My God, Leslie, what happened to you?" he said softly.
"I know, " she said excitedly, as she stretched and showed him her full body. "Isn't it great? Don't I look fabulous? Just perfect? I guess that machine at your house was able to complete my program. I was a little afraid that it might not work since I smashed the computer, but it looks like it worked out, after all. "
Jeff looked at her with shock. "You wanted to look like this?"
"Well, I would have liked to be just a tad bit smaller, so I could fit into houses and things. And I'm not thrilled about this big belly, " she said, as she sat up and rubbed her bulging abdomen. "But otherwise, I think I came out perfect. It's just what I wanted. I am the most powerful thing on the face of the earth."
Jeff shook his head. "No, no this is wrong."
Leslie looked hurt. "What's the matter? Don't you like how I look?"
"No, I mean, yes, you look fine for a dragon. But we need to change you back into a human. So you can look normal again "said Jeff.
"I thought you said that looks weren't important? That we shouldn't judge people based on how they look? That you would like me no matter how I looked? Was everything you said last night a lie? " she said in a huff.
"No, I meant what I said. I do like you, and it doesn't matter what you like. But this isn't normal, " said Jeff.
Leslie leaned her massive head into the cave, directly in front of Jeff. "Normal? You mean like your sister, the freaky anthro-horse. I heard you in the locker room. You didn't seem to have a problem with how she wanted to look. But then again, maybe that's what you're into! Maybe you'd like Cindy better!"
Jeff shook his head. "No, no, that's not it at all. I like people for who they are, not what they look like. But I think something went wrong with your transformation. Last night you seemed content with how you were, and now you're excited about being a giant dragon. I think the program messed with your head. We need to go back to the house, and try to reverse it."
Leslie scowled, and her face suddenly turned very ugly. He was very afraid that she was about to kill him. He was sure now that her mind had been altered. There was no way the sweet confused girl he talked to last night could ever make a face that full of hate.
"You're just jealous, " she boomed, her voice echoing through the cave. "You want to steal my power, and make me weak and helpless like I was before. Then everyone can just tease me like I did before."
She stopped yelling, and then developed a look of deep sadness on her face. This was the girl Jeff knew before, now trapped in the body of this monster. "And then you'll leave me, just like all the other guys. And I'll be all alone......"
Suddenly, she snatched Jeff out of the cave, pulling him close to her huge body, wrapping and holding him next to her with her large tail. "No, you're going to stay with me. I really like you, and I know you like me. You just need a little time to get used to everything. "
She raised her head and looked Jeff straight in the eyes, and smiled wickedly. "No, Jeff, you're not going anywhere. You're mine .................all mine and only mine...........my little damsel in distress............forever." Then she drifted off to sleep, still tightly clutching her prized possession.
