Nita made a face and laughed half-heartedly. "Ugh, at least that's one thing we don't have to worry about here." Her nose twitched at the scent of chicken; Nita didn't eat meat terribly often anymore, but it smelled good today. Most food seemed delicious just then.
"I dunno, a chicken sandwich?" Nita rubbed her arm again and flopped onto her Christmas chair. "Damn, you know what I really want? McDonald's. Double cheeseburger and fries. And one of those little parfait thingies. Jesus, it's been months..!"

Lauren made a face at the mention of McDonalds, "I think I lost my taste for everything there after eating out of their dumpster for a year." She looked oddly at Nita, "Are you aliright? Your normally a vegetarian." She started making up the requested sandwich. "But anything other than cafeteria food does sound nice right now." Lauren sighed as she finished up two sandwiches and put them on plates along with a can of cherry soda and diet soda.
"Here, eat up" She said handing the plate to Nita. "Which pop do you want, these are the only two cans left." She said hopeing the diet soda seemed more appealing to Nita.

"Erk," Nita said, a sort of sympathetically-grossed-out noise. Salt and grease still sounded good, though! She took the diet soda out of habit, having given up regular soda years ago. Even before her tastes had changed, soda had become too sweet and almost sticky in her throat.
She was a few bites into her sandwich before Lauren's previous question fully registered. Hadn't she noticed? Nita held out her arm at an awkward angle, indicating the obvious swelling and puncture mark. "Huzzah for me," she mumbled.

Lauren had been oblivious, "Jesus Nita, why didn't you say anything?" She said as she examined Nita's bump. Lauren felt excited, "Aren't you happy?" She asked, "I mean damn I think this might be your last one! Your part of the experiment will be complete!" Lauren smiled broadly as she ripped into the sandwich.

Nita gave a noncommittal shrug. It was her last change, she knew, and her feelings were decidedly mixed. On the one hand, she'd be done; she wouldn't have to worry about future injections. But then.. what really happened to people who had finished? Were they really just left alone, or was there further testing? And however she turned out, that was it. For the rest of her life. No going back. But she couldn't really explain that to Lauren, who was just so damn chipper about the whole procedure.
"Mostly I just feel bloated and feverish," Nita managed, after finishing another few bites of her sandwich. It was nearly gone, and her stomach still hurt, torn between wanting more and never wanting to see food again. "Urgh."

Lauren reached out to hug Nita, "Aww, I'm sorry sweets. Anything I can do to help? Maybe I can call for some pain killers to make it easier on you?" She acted as if it were an everyday normal thing, which to Lauren it was. She had fully accepted the going ons of the island as normal and mundane, her life right now. She had no cares of going back to Oregon or California, no concerns of seeing past relatives again. RIght now this was her family, her life, her home.
And she wanted so badly for it to be Nita's she just assumed it was. She assumed they were one and the same on the subject.

"I've got some in the bathroom." She'd been so cranky and disoriented, it hadn't even occurred to her to take anything. Nita rested her hot face against Lauren's shoulder for a moment before trying to stand. She wobbled and sat down again suddenly, nearly bruising her tail.
A wave of nausea and heat moved over her body; she gasped for breath. "Oh s**t," Nita whispered. Her fur was thickening and growing darker before her eyes. This is it...

Lauren felt Nita's forehead with some concern but quickly moved that into another part of her mind, "It'll be fine, it's happened many times to every islander Nita." She said as Nita tried to get up.
"No wait I'll..." Lauren said as Nita began to grow fur. "********! I'll get it Nita." She finished. Lauren ran to the bathroom throwing everything aside as she frantically searched for the pain killers.

Her ears and nose stung as cartilage and bone shifted. Tufts of fur sprouted where her ears met her head; new whiskers trembled. Nita slipped out of her chair and onto the floor.
"Check in.. the medicine.. cabinet!" she called, her voice cracking every few syllables.

Lauren finally found it after ripping the bathroom apart. A large part of Lauren felt happy about the temporary chaos around her. It was more like home. All the order she self impossed on herself due to Nita had been unknowingly getting to her.
"FOUND IT!" She shouted out leaping quickly towards Nita. She found her on the floor mutating in front of her eyes. Part of her was terrified, another was intrigued. She had never witnessed a full out 100% change.
"Here Nita," Lauren said putting the pills into the red panda's mouth. She reached for the diet soda. "I think it might be too late, but it will help with the pain later."
Dual sides were fighting in Lauren's mind. Did she smile and show how intrigued and proud she was of Nita, or did she show the worried side? She was torn, as was usually the case in her life. Lauren reached for Nita and craddled her in her yellow arms, "It'll be fine Nita, the pain is temporary." She simply said.

Nita downed the pills automatically, willing them to work quickly. She shuddered, leaning against Lauren, given a moment's reprieve. And then she felt her clothes tightening, squeezing her. She could feel her latest meal, and many more, going straight to her thighs, her stomach, her breasts, and her bottom.
"Oh hell," Nita groaned, struggling to get out of her jeans. The waistband pressed against her belly and fabric strained at the seams. Apparently she would need new, larger clothing again.

Lauren's eyes widened. That was something she hadn't expected. Nita was getting larger right in front of her eyes. She hurried to help taking the clothes off before they hurt her. Lauren had no clue what to say, she just tried to be there comforting and helping Nita along her transformation.

The worst was yet to come. Nita imagined she could hear a sort of calcifying crunch as her bones thickened to support her heavier frame. The joints in her hands and feet popped and crackled as they became more paw-like.
Nita cried out, emitting a high-pitched whine that turned into a chattering noise. The pain she had experienced so far was merely a discomfort. Her legs and arms shortened. This time she definitely heard the crunch. Nita nearly passed out against Lauren, feeling as if someone had taken a hammer to her limbs.

The terror of the transformation started to become more clear to Lauren as the worse had come. Still her brainwashed mind took that terror into herself as macabre facination, scientifically storing data into her brain for her future reports.
It was getting easier to seperate her emotions from this time, to turn cold and caculating. "It'll be fine Nita..." She said as she watched Nita cringe in pain. "You're a tough girl. You'll get through it." But Lauren's words were turning more mechanical and rehearsed than reassuring and comforting. Her eyes widened in fascination as she watched Nita's frame shorten. She had seen people elongate but never shorten. "Wow... Nita your so... wonderful..." Lauren said as she held her nearly passed out girlfriend.

Nita finally wept as her changes completed. Her muscles twitched weakly; her toes and fingers curled against the duplex's carpeting.
"I think... I think it's over," she whispered. Nita wound her shortened arms around Lauren's waist, unable to look at herself yet.
