TF High Chapter 9: Party Animal (Or: Snarls and stripes)

Travis Fortmasion’s high school dance had finally come. The students arrived in the best suits, dresses, fur, and flea collars. If you think dancing in a crowded room is hard, try dancing in a room crowed with animal/human hybrids. Animal transformations had become nearly a normal occurrence, at the small high school, but that doesn’t mean the students were happy about it.

“I can hardly stand it!” Brandi Hound; the schools half bloodhound student and top reporter, barked. “A month ago I was getting a lot of offers just to go to the dance, now nobody will even get me some punch.” “I know what you mean.” Coline Bell, another transformee replied. “Since I’ve turned into a cow, it seems the only thing I’m good for is save money on milk. *Sigh*… Well at least Peggy is having fun, who knew that she could dance like that with those pig hoofs?”

       “At least you can still dance.” Toby Smalls, the school’s one time shrimp, turned elephant spoke up. “They banned me from so much as tapping my foot to avoid foundation damage. Hell they had to knock out part of the wall for me to get in here.” “Oh calm down would ya?” Samantha stripes; the editor of the school paper, said finally.

“Look it’s not that bad, I’ll go get everybody some punch and if you want I’ll see if I can get someone to dance with you.” As she walked away all Samantha could say to herself was, “what cry babies.” Reaching the punch bowl she found it empty. “Great now what?” looking around Samantha finds that there are cups sitting on the other table. She walks over and picks one up for a sip, only to find that it’s not quite what she was expecting.

        “Great water, of course they only have water. Oh well at least it’s not milk, I swear ever since the Principle changed into a lion, she has had the strangest cravings.” “Hey Sam.” Called Nelly; Samantha’s half-fox best friend. “Hey Nell, nice dress.” Samantha said, commenting on Nelly’s striped dress. “Thanks, but it’s not all that nice, I didn’t even want to wear it. Orange and black, it looks like someone made it out of my own fur.”

         “Oh it looks fine.” Samantha replied, “Besides the boys don’t seem to mind. Are you sure there’s enough for you and Peggy to share?” Samantha asked sarcastically, while staring at the group of boys crowding the dance floor. “Well I guess so.” Nelly said, “Still I wish I had a plane black dress like yours.” “Well… what size do you wear?” Samantha asked…

         A little while later Nelly, and Samantha came out of the restroom, now wearing each other’s dresses. “Thanks Sam this dress is a looks a lot better.” “No problem,” Same replied “I always liked stripes they look good on me. As Nelly walked away Samantha felt good for helping her friend, however she also began to feel an itch on the just below the back of her neck.

         “Stupid tag.” Samantha said as she reached to try and move what she thought was a piece of fabric, and instead finding that a thick patch of hair had grown, and was starting to spread down her back.  “Oh man this isn’t good and it really itches!” Using both hands now Samantha struggles to relieve herself of the growing itch, until she feels something scrape across her back. Holding her back in pain for a moment and then finding the itching growing around her front Samantha pulls her arms out from behind her back only to find they have become more muscular, with orange and black striped fur covering them from her upper arm all the way to her now clawed, and cat-like paw-hands.

       “Okay Really not good!” Samantha says as panic sets in. Her body begins to grow and become more muscular, as do her now striped fur covered legs. Her feet grow bursting from her shoes as much larger, cat-like, paw feet.
Samantha’s dress tightens as her new muscles and fur fill the marital. A new striped tail emerges hanging out the bottom of the dress. Samantha’s now fur covered face begins to push out into a cat-like mussel, as her eyes, ears, and nose begin taking on more feline characteristics.

       “Well this isn’t what I meant by looking good in stripes.” Half-tiger Samantha says as she looks herself over. “At least it’s over now.” She says with a sigh, but not much sooner has she finished than the very last bit of growth happens, ripping her dress to shreds.

        Samantha looks up only to find that everyone is looking at her. Unable to cover herself up Samantha runs into the girls bathroom bursting into tears.
“THAT TEARS IT!” Brandi barks in anger. “I’VE WAITED LONG ENOUGH, I’M GOING DOWN TO GENECORP AND GIVING THOSE APES A PIECE OF MY MIND!!!” “YEAH!!!” Several other students yelled in support. “THEY CHANGED US INTO ANIMALS SO I SAY LETS GO HIT EM ANIMAL STYLE!”

        The transformed students all grouped up and headed for the door, they had been mistreated long enough, and they were going to make sure GeneCorp paid for it. That is as soon as they could get Toby Smalls through the door…
