Description
The courier's office was lively, people frantically running from one place to another. The backroom was extremely large, cluttered and overall, cramped.

Package after package, letter after letter, stacks of never-ending mail was the norm as Kandy entered the chaotic environment, umbrella in hand, bag on her shoulder, barely avoiding bumping into another caffeine-deficit employee. She rubbed the purple crystal around her neck, nodding in understanding as she expected 'Broomey' to get to their 'office' first.

"This is why I have my coffee before coming to work" mused Kandy, blushing as she yawned. "Still…last night was a late night…wasn't it?" thought Kandy, recalling the new tenant she had waiting back at home.

Kandy shook her head, admonishing herself internally at her mistake. Kandy headed towards her station, going through the motions as she thought back to her new Samoyed friend…or at least she hoped they were friends?

"I do hope Penny comes around…although I wouldn't blame her if she doesn't" thought Kandy, pouting irritably as she headed towards a back room…her special projects room.

Kandy entered the room, closing the door behind her. She took a moment to breathe, finding herself alone with her thoughts at long last. She blinked, her heterochromic eyes drooping slightly as she noticed 'Broomey' already in his designated corner, having entered through the nearby window.

She looked into her bag, pulling out an enchanted scroll. It had yellow paper, the ends purple as she pulled it open, deciding to do a quick inventory check before heading out to her position.

"Ok, everything seems to be in order" mused Kandy, scanning through her list. It was a list of every artefact that she had ever created…and lost. Kandy bit her lip nervously, continuing to scroll through the list as she noticed something that made her blood run cold.

"Wait…didn't I find that one?" thought Kandy, noticing that the enchanted soap, the one with the shadow of a housecat, was not crossed off. Kandy shook her head in denial, hoping that the scroll was wrong…that an error had occurred.

"Where is it?!" said Kandy, her tone becoming more frantic as she opened her shoulder bag. She reached into it, desperately trying to find a grip on the soap, proving the scroll wrong.

Unfortunately, the scroll was correct. A fact that caused Kandy to throw her shoulder bag across the room.

"Oh…why am I so bloody clueless Broomey?!" shouted Kandy, frustrated as she stamped her feet. "First, I can't hide my magic for more than a few hours at my job, next my artefacts keep going missing and finally…I can only possibly gain a friend by transforming them first" continued Kandy, tears threatening to escape her eyes as her pair of crystals jingled slightly around her neck. She sat down on the floor, her legs losing the strength to keep herself up.

'Broomey' appeared sympathetic, or at least as sympathetic as a magic broomstick could appear. He tried to hover towards his mistress, comfort her, but could only do so at her command. Something that Kandy wasn't in the mental state for at the moment.

"Well…might as well get to work," said Kandy, forcing herself up as she headed towards the table in the centre of the room. She smiled, grateful as she remembered the opportunity she had been given…the chance to prove herself.

"And I can't let him down," thought Kandy, concentrating intently as she grabbed her umbrella. A small glow came from the tip as her hair straightened out, the long blond ponytails filling out as the purple streaks adjusted back into place. Her blue polo shirt, part of her mail uniform, straightened out, the creases vanishing as her skirt did the same, becoming neat as Kandy took a deep breath.

"Now…onto the main floor," thought Kandy, flashing her familiar, cute smile as she pushed the doors open. She walked onto the main floor, a smile on her face as she eyed her co-workers, most smiling in response.

"Morning Lyla," said Kandy, her smile wide as Lyla turned to face Kandy. She glanced at Kandy for a moment, staring at her for a moment before turning away. "Ok…have a nice day" continued Kandy, continuing to walk towards her station.

Lyla was like most people Kandy encountered. If they weren't weirded out by her eyes, then it was by her magic. Given Kandy's lack of subtlety, carelessness and the fact that she accidentally had a magical outburst on her first day…most people were afraid…or more likely weirded out to approach her.

"At least Mr Hamper was willing to give me a chance," thought Kandy, grateful that she had some good fortune in her life. "I just hope not to let him down" continued Kandy, reaching her station as she noticed the pile of mail before her.

"Ok…time to sort some letters" mused Kandy, holding up her umbrella as a small glow came from the tip. The letters proceeded to organise themselves, splitting between postcodes before placing themselves neatly into piles. They then hovered towards a nearby shelving unit, each pile going into a different slot for the person responsible for the various mail runs.

The parcels were more exciting to Kandy as she waved her umbrella, watching as the parcels hovered down the hall towards her 'office' with 'Broomey'. She smiled as she looked forward to the afternoon delivery, which was the highlight of her job.

"Spectacular as every Kandy" called out a familiar voice, Kandy's eyes widening with surprise. She turned, soon coming face to face with her boss, one of the few people Kandy could trust, one of the few people who understood her.

It was her boss, Mr Hamper.

Mr Hamper was a rather large man. He wore a large blue polo shirt, his belly rotund alongside brown trousers and well-shined shoes. He had a well-trimmed moustache and glasses that could make him look fierce to some depending on the light. His brown eyes glistened slightly under the light, shining like fine marbles. Finally, his tall posture screamed authority, indicating that getting on his bad side was a terrible idea.

Kandy however, knew that deep down…Mr Hamper was a real softie. He stood up for the workers under his management and was, within reason, always patient and understanding.

Kandy truly admired Mr Hamper, for giving her a chance that nobody else did.

"Tha…thank you Mr Hamper" replied Kandy, stammering as she was taken off guard. She shook her head, regaining her composure quickly. "You'd think having magic would make it harder for people to sneak up on me" wondered Kandy, dismissing the thought as she eyed her boss. He seemed to have a curious glance on his face.

"Is everything alright Kandy?" asked Mr Hamper, showing the same empathetic smile that Kandy had long become accustomed to.

In fact…it was her favourite thing about him.

"It's nothing…really" replied Kandy, looking down in shame. Mr Hamper eyed her empathetically, bending down to her level.

"Are you sure?" asked Mr Hamper, noticing Kandy seemed to be opening up again "You know you can come to me for anything Kandy?" said Mr Hamper, his tone still warm as Kandy nodded in agreement.

"It happened again" replied Kandy, noticing Mr Hamper's eyes widening momentarily. The sight caused Kandy to look back towards the floor in shame.

"Another misplaced package?" clarified Mr Hamper, Kandy nodding in response. He sighed, taking a deep breath as he considered what to say. "What was it this time?" asked Mr Hamper, his tone curious as Kandy looked up at him.

"It was a bar of enchanted soap," replied Kandy, her tone sullen. "Designed to transform the user into a cat" continued Kandy, noticing Mr Hamper nod in understanding.

"Well, I imagine that there are likely a few more cats in the world," said Mr Hamper, noticing Kandy still sullen about the situation. "But…you can't let your mistakes weigh you down, Kandy," continued Mr Hamper, trying to reassure Kandy as she looked up. "Kandy…I know things have been…and continue to be difficult but the fact that you're trying to do better is the most important thing" finished Mr Hamper, noticing Kandy give a small smile.

"Since you've finished your pile…how about you get an early start on the deliveries?" suggested Mr Hamper, familiar with Kandy's fondness of the outdoors…especially when riding 'Broomey.'

"Really? Would that be ok?" asked Kandy, noticing Mr Hamper nod in response. She quickly grabbed him into a hug, squeezing for a moment before realising she was at work. She blushed awkwardly, her ponytails bouncing slightly.

"Don't worry about it Kandy" said Mr Hamper, already sensing Kandy's awkwardness. He noticed her heading back towards her 'office', preparing for the deliveries today as he sighed internally. His mind drifted back towards his other workers, how they each tended to keep their distance from Kandy.

Unfortunately, despite his fondness for Kandy, Mr Hamper couldn't exactly blame them.

"But…she is the only person in our workforce who has magic…" mused Mr Hamper, grateful that his superiors didn't ask too many questions about Kandy's performance metrics. "Certainly helps with delivering letters and preventing packages from being damaged mid-flight" continued Mr Hamper, remembering how Kandy had explained how she used magic to prevent herself from dropping packages whilst flying.

Deep down, Mr Hamper wished he could delegate Kandy to solely delivery as, barring the occasional misplaced package, she was rather exceptional at the role. Unfortunately, as per typical bureaucracy, his superiors prevented him from hiring another person to fill the position in-house.

"I'll convince them eventually," said Mr Hamper, taking a quick look at his wristwatch. It was time to check on his other workers and make sure that they were doing their job.

After all, the mail was never-ending…and someone had to maintain a tight ship around here.

In a Distant Apartment:
Penny found herself adrift, oddly comfortable even as she felt herself floating on a cloud. It was blissful, heavenly even. An absolute godsend following the countless evenings on the street, giving her a sense of bliss that she hadn't felt in an extremely long time.

"Is…is this heaven?" thought Penny, wondering if she had died in her sleep. Was her encounter with that witch just all been a dream? Did she really transform into a dog? Had her life come to an end?

A wagging tail seemed to be doing its best to convince her otherwise.

"Nah…it's all in my mind," thought Penny lazily, feeling herself beginning to stir awake. She opened her navy blue eyes, noticing she was laid out and staring at what appeared to be a ceiling.

"Huh?" barked Penny, confused at the noise she made. It was then her eyes widened, causing her to right herself onto all fours. She paid that no mind, quickly rushing towards a nearby full-length mirror as she glanced at herself.

In the mirror, her only reflection was of a Samoyed dog. Although Penny did have to concede that she was rather cute, like a big white fluffy ball as she got a glance at the collar she was wearing.

"So…it wasn't a dream?" barked Penny, glaring at the collar she was wearing. She could feel it all coming back to her…that witch's missing artefact, her transformation because of the stupid collar around her neck…and the fact that the witch gave her a place to stay.

"It…it could be worse" admitted Penny, 'smiling' over the fact that she at least had a place to stay. She recalled Kandy's sobs from the night before, unable to get herself angry at the woman who did this to her.

"So I'm a dog for now," thought Penny, noticing that the door to the room she was in was fortunately open. She looked around, noticing the bed that she'd been laying on only moments before. "I guess Kandy let me sleep there…last I remember, I was on her broomstick" wondered Penny, deciding to explore what she imagined would be her new living space for the foreseeable future.

She could smell something wafting against her nose, her new sense of smell making the aroma intoxicating as Penny's tongue couldn't help but lop out of her mouth. A speck of drool dripped from it, as Penny wandered to what she presumed was the kitchen area.

"This…this place is huge!" thought Penny, fully aware that her smaller size would cause the apartment to look bigger but she was amazed nonetheless. Even when she was living in her own apartment, this was a whole new standard of living.

Penny's nose led herself to a small plate on the floor which had a small piece of chicken on it. As Penny smelled it further, she knew it was cooked as she panted with anticipation at consuming the fine-smelling meat before her.

However, before she could do so, Penny's attention was diverted to a nearby note. She read it, her heart thawing slightly as she took in the words:

'Hope this will do for my good girl for the time being…we can discuss longer-term arrangements when I return from work'

"Well…she clearly cares" barked Penny, the chicken becoming too hard to resist. As her stomach rumbled, she dug in. She made swift use of her new canine teeth, tearing into the meat as she 'smiled', content for…the first time in a while.

"That was delicious" admitted Penny, happy to have a full stomach for once. She looked around, noticing the other doors in the apartment were open. She 'shrugged', figuring she should find something to occupy herself for the time being.

Penny wandered into another room, her nose acting as her guide as she took in various smells. She found herself in what appeared to be a living room. She glanced at the relatively large television, recalling her smaller stature.

"Still…it's nice to be able to relax for a moment" mused Penny, recalling the nights on the streets. The cold winds, the uncomfortable surfaces…and the lack of regard people showed her.

For Penny, it was a nice feeling that someone actually seemed to care about her.

"She…Kandy is certainly…interesting" barked Penny, sitting on her haunches for a moment. She eyed the large sofa in the room, noticing how soft it looked. Penny wandered over to it, glancing up at the sofa curiously.

"It…it does look soft, nice even," thought Penny, bending her legs as she tried to get into a jumping position. She leapt, fortunately clearing the sofa as she managed to lie herself down on it. She noticed the remote to the television nearby…with another note attached.

'I figured you'd want to find something to pass the time whilst I'm gone, If you've found this note, I figure you enjoy television'

"Wow…she's certainly thoughtful" barked Penny, curious as to what other notes she might find throughout the apartment. Although for now, she shook her head, deciding to lie on the sofa as she pressed her paw down on the power button on the remote.

The television came to life, Penny swivelling her ears slightly, her enhanced hearing making it easy to listen as she took in the programme before her.

Penny lied back, relaxing as she continued to watch television, wondering when Kandy would return home and curious as to her life ahead of her.

High Above The Ground:
Kandy felt the wind flying against her face as she smiled widely. She picked up more speed, overjoyed as she could feel her troubles slipping away…at least for the moment.

"Good thing I have that ignorance charm placed on 'Broomey' thought Kandy, glad that no one else would take notice as she continued to fly through the air. She couldn't help but feel liberated as she once again hollered in joy as the wind continued to race past her.

However, Kandy eventually came to a stop. She took a deep breath, calming herself as she took a glance down at the city below.

Everything looked so small…so insignificant. Which proved to be rather useful for Kandy every once in a while. It truly helped put her problems into perspective, allowing her to think through her problems.

Now if only she was as good at coming up with solutions.

"No…not now," thought Kandy, dismissing her thoughts. She thought back to Penny, hoping that Penny was receptive to the 'helpful' notes she had left around the house. Kandy, trying to take her mind off of Penny, looked back to her deliveries, noticing that she had managed to complete them in record time.

"Well Mr Hamper will be happy at least" mused Kandy, reaching back towards her bag. She pulled out her reports with one hand and pulled a pen into existence with the other hand as she began to fill out her paperwork.

"Ok, let's see here…" mumbled Kandy, filling out the first page of many. Despite her attempts to focus, she couldn't help but think back to Penny…her new roommate?

"I mean…we are technically sharing the same space," said Kandy, unable to stop herself from getting excited. "I know Penny seemed rather perturbed about being a dog" continued Kandy, recalling the night before. "Still, it would be nice to have made a friend" finished Kandy, noticing she had filled out the first page of her paperwork.

"Well…it's time to get on with this and then go see how Penny's doing?" said Kandy, focusing on the report before her as she continued to fill the paperwork out. After this, all she would need to do is take it back to Mr Hamper then her shift would be completed.

After what had felt like an eternity but in reality, had only been half an hour, Kandy held her paperwork up. She had a victorious smile on her face, glad to have finished what she considered the boring aspects of her job.

However, Mr Hamper had stressed the necessity of it…something Kandy was willing to respect.

"Now…time to drop this off at the office and then I'll go see how Penny is doing" mumbled Kandy, placing her paperwork in her bag. She then nodded at 'Broomey' who began to pick up speed in understanding.

As Kandy felt the wind blowing against her face, 'Broomey's' speed helped more and more of her surroundings disappear. Kandy smiled widely as she felt liberated, free from her problems…if only for a little while.

However, as a result, Kandy failed to notice that the yellow crystal around her neck was faintly glowing.

A Picnic to Remember:
The sun was shining pleasantly downwards, the sky a lovely shade of blue as a couple was walking pleasantly towards a spot they had frequently visited since they had become a couple.

"It sure is a lovely day today..isn't it?" asked Ramona, smiling widely. She knew where she and her boyfriend were fast approaching. With a picnic basket in hand, she couldn't wait until they were able to enjoy the nice, pleasant weather over a simple picnic.

Now, if only her boyfriend would stop being so secretive.

Rex nodded in agreement, gazing into Ramona's beautiful emerald eyes. He couldn't help but stare for a moment longer than intended. He truly loved Ramona, and, assuming everything went to plan…they'd be able to cherish one another forever.

"Yes that day is lovely" replied Rex, noticing Ramona gaze at him lovingly. As Rex swept her into his arms, the pair gazed lovingly at one another, truly in love as they pulled together for a kiss. The pair cherished the moment, embracing each other as they expressed their love.

As the pair broke off their kiss, Rex stared at Ramona, his smile wide as he smiled. "But the day couldn't possibly be as lovely as you," said Rex simply, noticing Ramona holding back tears of joy. "Now…how about we continue?" asked Rex, noticing Ramona nod with excitement.

It caught Rex off guard, making him question himself briefly. "Does she already know?" wondered Rex, dismissing the thought. After all, it wasn't particularly important whether she knew…the important thing would be whether she accepted.

Whether she accepted to be his wife.

The pair continued in silence, anticipation building up in both of them as they opened a nearby gate. They looked around, noticing the large green field they were standing in. It was empty this time of day, the grass was a moderate length as the pair wandered to their favourite spot by the old tree.

Ramona opened the picnic basket under her arm, pulling out a large tablecloth which she laid out on the ground. She stared at her partner, nodding as they sat down. Ramona took a moment to stretch, resting her back against the old tree as the shade proved to be rather cool.

"This spot is really nice…isn't it?" asked Ramona, taking another look as Rex began to unpack the picnic. She smiled warmly at him, already anticipating her boyfriend's plan but not desiring to spoil it for him.

Still, she couldn't help but feel excited for the moment she knew was to come.

"It certainly is," replied Rex, finishing unpacking the picnic as he checked his pocket. He smiled as he knew what was to come. He watched the sun shining down, the atmosphere feeling perfect as Rex knew that now was the time.

"The moment's perfect" thought Rex, grabbing the box within the contents in his pocket. Now was the time, the perfect time to ask Ramona if she'd be his…for now, and forever.

Unknown to the pair, the field they had come into had unknowingly come into contact with one of Kandy's artefacts. It was designed to work only with engaged couples…something which Ramona and Rex would soon, perfectly fit the description.

"Ramona, will you marry me?" asked Rex, opening the small box to reveal a simple, yet elegant engagement ring. Ramona shifted back, tears in her eyes as she couldn't hold back her excitement.

"Yes…oh yes!" shouted Ramona, hurling herself at Rex who caught her in his arms. The pair hugged as Ramona had tears of joy in her eyes. The pair continued to embrace as she began to feel very warm, tingly. She dismissed the discomfort, blaming it on her excited nerves as she noticed Rex appeared the same.

"Rex? Yooooou ok?" asked Ramona, confused as to her slurred words but dismissing it for the moment.

"Yes Ramooooona" replied Rex, feeling oddly disoriented as he felt sensations occurring all over his body.

"What…what's goooing oooon?" said Ramona, noticing her words were slurred again. She felt strange and disoriented as other sensations were occurring across her body. As she looked around, she noticed something flashing in the corner of her eye.

Ramona blinked, figuring it was just a trick of the light. However, once the light flashed again, she took a closer look. She broke from the embrace with Rex, trying to get a better look.

"What…what is it?" asked Rex, surprised that his words hadn't slurred again.

"I…I doooon't knoooow" replied Ramona, trying to ignore how her words seemed deeper, more like…

"No…that's not possible," thought Ramona, getting to her feet as she headed towards the light. She began to pick up the pace, feeling goosebumps all over her skin.

"Wait for me" called out Rex, quickly catching up to the pace of his fiancee. They headed further towards the sparkling light, both eyeing it with surprise as they spotted the object responsible. It was floating right in front of their eyes

It appeared to be a bell of some sort, pristine white in colour. The strap appeared to be made of strong, sturdy leather which was purple and yellow intertwining together. There appeared to be something hanging from the bell, a bright shade of yellow as it appeared to be a ring of some kind.

"Is that…a cowbell?" wondered Ramona, her expression confused as Rex gazed at the strange floating object. They couldn't help but feel weirded out by the whole affair as the bell suddenly rang.

"MOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" lowed Ramona, craning her head up to the sky. She gave out a genuine bovine bellow as she felt her mind go blank momentarily.

"MOOOOOOOOOOO!" bellowed Rex, his voice deeper, more hoarse. It sounded like the deep bellow of a bull as he felt his mind, like his fiancee's, go blank.

The bell flashed, as if satisfied with the outcome. It then rang once more, clearly preparing to put its plan into action. The ring attached to it came loose, freeing itself from the clutches of the bell as it zoomed forward towards Rex.

It firmly clipped itself onto his nose, tightening to the point where it would be impossible to force off. It then flashed, preparing Rex for the rest of his transformation.

The bell did the opposite, zooming towards Ramona as the strap sealed itself around her neck. The bell rang as Ramona made small movements, the bell flashing as it began to prepare Ramona for the rest of her transformation.

As the artefacts finished flashing, Ramona felt her senses returning. She looked around, noticing the large nose ring around Rex's nose as she noticed his senses seemed to be returning too.

As a result of her shifting her head, Ramona's attention was then drawn to the large cowbell attached to her neck. She gazed down at it curiously, clasping it in her hand as she tried to make sense of the situation before her.

"What…is happening to us?" wondered Ramona internally, feeling a strange sensation coming over her. She felt a scent wafting against her nose, as Ramona looked around in confusion for the origin of such an alluring aroma.

Ramona looked down, noticing the grass beneath her feet. She couldn't help herself as she bent down, the aroma becoming stronger as she realised where it was coming from.

"Gr…grass?" though Ramona, confused as she turned back to face her husband. He seemed to be confused by the large nose ring weighing down on him as he tugged on it, finding it wedged tightly in.

"Ah…why is this nose ring so…tight?" thought Rex, feeling a tingling in his scalp. It seemed as if something was trying to force itself out. He clutched his head, Ramona eying him curiously as the aroma of the grass once again wafted around her nose.

"No…why does the grass seem so…tasty?" mumbled Ramona, shaking her head in denial. She could feel her stomach grumbling, changing internally. She clutched her stomach, eyeing her husband as she could feel her stomach…splitting?

As Ramona fell to the ground, now on her knees, she noticed growing protrusions from her fiance's head. She couldn't help as her mouth gaped open, noticing the growing white horns as they burst through Rex's forehead.

"Ramona…you ok?" asked Rex, trying to keep calm as he felt his newfound horns. As he stroked them, however, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride come over him. The sensations continue to tingle around the horns, causing them to stretch out slightly longer, giving him an impressive pair of horns.

"You look…look so…mooooo" lowed Ramona, struggling as she felt a hot flush of arousal come over her. It was just something about Rex's horns…something that made her feel so…horny. "He'll be a good mate," thought Ramona, the bovine instincts beginning to take root in her mind as the aroma of the grass wafted against her nose once more.

This time, Ramona found herself unable to resist as she got onto her hands and knees. She bent downwards, chomping down on the succulent grass as she felt the many flavours across her tongue. As she continued to graze, she could feel pressure developing in her coccyx.

However, she paid it no mind, all that mattered right now…was getting the grass.

"Ramona?" asked Rex, trying to get his fiance's attention to no avail. He tried to walk forward, feeling his body becoming increasingly stiff. His back began to ache, Rex pushing on despite the pain as muscle began to pile more and more on his frame, tightening his clothes.

This was until suddenly, Rex lurched forward. He tried to catch himself, falling onto his hands and knees. His clothes continued to feel tight as he felt his body lengthen, stretching out. His spine became straight, binding him to all fours as his arms lengthened out, reaching to match his legs.

Rex, however, was too distracted by the aroma of the grass to notice that he was now standing comfortably, and naturally on all fours. He bent down, feeling his neck extend as he chewed and chewed the grass, savouring its sweet juices.

"Wait…something…wrong," thought Rex, his mind too muddled to focus as he stared at his fiancee, noticing the growing pressure around her rear. Something appeared to be moving underneath her sundress.

Meanwhile, Ramona's new tail was swishing back and forth as she continued to graze. It had a soft tuft of white fur at the tip, the rest of the tail containing a mixture of black and white fur. Ramona relaxed as it swished, feeling like she had always been born with a tail as she continued to graze at the succulent grass.

"Wait…I don't have a tail!" thought Ramona, snapping out of her thoughts. Her eyes regained their clarity, forcing her head upwards from the grass. She looked around, noticing her fiance's new posture currently grazing at the grass.

As she stared at him, however, Ramona couldn't help but feel aroused.

This caused her to feel a warmth coming from her genitals. She moaned as she couldn't help but feel aroused as she felt her vagina move back, becoming animalistic as it settled under her tail. Ramona lowed softly as she couldn't help but daydream about mating with the changing bull before her.

"Wait…this is wroooooong," said Ramona, her tone uncertain. "Why does this feel so right?" wondered Ramona, struggling to think straight as she felt a tingling in her breasts. She looked down, the cowbell ringing as she did so as her eyes widened.

"Oh no!" panicked Ramona, noticing her breasts appeared to be sinking into her body. She could feel a sensation now bubbling within her legs as she knew exactly what was coming next. "My…my udder?" thought Ramona, completely mortified as what felt like a balloon was growing between her legs. She moaned, having accidentally squeezed her developing udder.

However, as it continued to swell, the magic of the cowbell causing her to lactate, Ramona couldn't help but feel a sense of pride come over her. She then turned to face Rex, noticing that he had stopped grazing.

Ramona noticed Rex's clothes were tight, barely holding onto him as her arousal returned full force. This caused Ramona to low softly as her eyes became blank.

"C'mon big boy…you know you want me," said Ramona seductively, turning to face Rex as she raised her tail. She presented her bovine vagina to Rex, shivering with anticipation as he approached.

However, to her surprise, Rex instead went for her udder. He clasped around a teat, locking his mouth around it as he began to suckle. The sudden rush of euphoria proved to be too much for Ramona as her eyes rolled back in her head.

"MOOOOOOO!" lowed Ramona, oblivious to how she just mooed like the cow she was becoming. As Rex continued to drink from her udder, more sensations came over the pair, accelerating their changes as the pair enjoyed the moment together.

Internally, Rex swelled with pride as he felt his body become even more muscular. His clothes were becoming tighter and tighter, eventually bursting off his body as he felt like a true bull. He kept drinking, encouraging his changes as he heard his mate lowing in pleasure.

"She'll be perfect…perfect for my calves," thought Rex, his mind completely muddled with bovine instinct as he could feel his next changes coming along.

He felt a growing at the base of his spine, a pushing as his coccyx pulled out, separating from his spin as it began to form into a developing tail. Rex could feel his new tail swishing instinctively, hitting a nearby fly in the process as it continued to lengthen, a black tussle of fur forming at the tip as small itches began to form upwards.

Rex smiled, content that his majestic animal fur was forming. He could then feel his muzzle beginning to push out, stretching longer and longer as his nose became more sensitive. As it did so, Rex 'smiled', being able to smell his mate in heat as it had a direct effect on his genitalia.

Rex smirked as he felt his package growing out, becoming longer and longer as it was transforming into a true bullcock. He swelled with pride as he eyes Ramona's needy vagina, ever ready to be claimed.

However, Ramona wasn't quite the right size for mating just yet. Something that Rex could see was very quickly being rectified.

Ramona, oblivious to her mate's changes, was still taking in the euphoria of the milk being drained from her udder. She breathed contented, lowing softly as she could feel the tingling sensations occurring all over her body.

She breathed in as she felt herself beginning to bulk up, pushing against her sundress as pound after pound of fat began to stick to her frame. She could feel her spine straighten out, confining her to all fours as her hips changed, assuming a different shape.

"MOOOOOOOOO!" lowed Ramona, her increasing fat proving to be too much for her dress as it tore off her, falling to the ground. She could then feel an urge coming from her rear. She managed to turn around, noticing her mate eyeing her intently. She felt the heat coming over her, making the temptation to mate impossible to ignore as she mooed with approval, noticing her mate move forward.

As Rex mounted Ramona, supporting himself on her now enlarged rear, he could feel a tingling come over his hands and feet. He paid it no mind as he plunged into Ramona's vagina, the pair bellowing in ecstasy.

Ramona mooed in pleasure as she could feel a tingling forming at her hands and feet. As Rex began to thrust, she found it difficult to support him as her hands and feet were struggling to keep their grip on the ground.

"Yes…make me perfect," thought Ramona, noticing her hands begin to stiffen up. She could feel the same happening with her feet as she eyed them darkening, the fingers pushing themselves together as the thumbs were sucked back into her palms.

Her toes were doing the same, sticking together and stretching out, becoming hard as nails as they darkened into a black colour. Ramona mooed out with contentment as her hands and feet had been swiftly replaced with four new hooves.

"MOOOO!" bellowed Ramona, encouraging Rex to begin to thrust harder, faster. She couldn't help it as her lust overcame her, silencing any possible resistance. She could feel an itching sensation come over her as black and white fur began to grow in.

On the other hand, Rex could feel his hands and feet beginning to stiffen up. It was becoming difficult to keep a grip on Ramona but he pressed on, determined to see the mating through. His hands and feet quickly stiffened up into a pair of hooves, easily supporting his now much more muscular body.

Rex bellowed out, demanding his changes finish as he could feel his new, smooth, black fur spreading across his entire body. It spread like wildfire as Rex's pride swelled out, his self-confidence strengthening as his transformation completed itself.

Now Rex was a complete bull, eager to mate with the cow before him as he picked up the pace once more.

"MOOO!" lowed Ramona, feeling her mate approaching a climax as, from the neck down, she was a complete cow. She could feel the sensations approaching her face, the bell ringing beneath her neck to encourage them on.

"Wait…this…this isn't right," thought Ramona, trying to resist the changes hitting her mind. She tried to push back, finding herself powerless to do so as everything just seemed…calm. Ramona's attempts at resistance were pointless as she felt herself tiring out as if drifting off into a peaceful sleep.

Meanwhile, the physical changes were spreading much faster as Ramona felt a small pair of horns grow from her temples, a small trickle of blood splashing down her eyes. She blinked, still trying to struggle against what was happening to her.

But the pleasure from Rex was proving to be too much, each thrust scrambling her brain as further sensations came over her body.

Ramona felt her neck lengthening, extending, making it easier to reach the grass beneath her hooves. The aroma was still strong but the pleasure from the mating felt outright intoxicating. As her neck cracked forward once more, she could feel tingling around her face.

It was then her face began to stretch out, pushing out between her eyes as her muzzle began to form. It stretched out, longer and longer as her teeth changed, becoming more square. She felt content, happy even as the rest of her black and white fur finished spreading across her face.

Ramona had now physically finished her transformation and, soon enough, would be complete mentally as well.

"No…I need to fight this!" thought Ramona, trying one last time to resist. She tried to push back against the magic, the thoughts invading her mind. She noticed their torn clothing across the field began to disappear as she tried desperately to hold onto her human mind.

A mind that was silenced as Rex climaxed into her. The waves of euphoria proved to be too much for Ramona's mind, leaving her bovine mind in control as her eyes dulled over, becoming true cow eyes.

"MOOOOOOOOOOO!" lowed Ramona, now a cow in body and mind as Rex dismounted. Her tail swished curiously, the scent of the grass drawing her muzzle back to the ground.

She bent downwards, grabbing the grass with her bovine tongue before pulling it back into her mouth. She mooed contentedly, eyeing her mate nearby as she could already feel their calf growing inside of her.

On the other hand, Rex eyed his mate with pride, content to be close to her. He walked closer to her, bending his head down to graze alongside her.

The newly engaged pair of cattle continued to enjoy their company, content in the simplicity of grazing the day away.

Especially, since all they needed was each other.

Returning Home:
"Penny! I'm home!" called out Kandy, walking through her front door as she hung up her umbrella nearby. She rubbed her purple crystal, directing 'Broomey' to his stand as she walked through to her kitchen area.

"Well, at least she's eaten" thought Kandy, noticing the plate she had left for Penny was now empty. She smiled softly, hoping that perhaps Penny was at least empathetic to Kandy's efforts. It was then she heard the television blaring softly in the nearby living room.

"Guess she does like TV after all" mumbled Kandy, her smile widening as she walked into the living room. She looked around, noticing Penny sprawled out on the sofa. She was completely stretched out, her tongue flopped out of her mouth as she was completely fast asleep. Kandy had to resist the urge not to 'awwww' as she noticed how adorable Penny looked.

"I wonder if she knows how cute she looks when asleep?" thought Kandy, carefully sitting down on the sofa. She then began to stroke Penny, noticing her tail wagging in response to the affection. "At least I know she likes this" continued Kandy internally, Penny starting to yip softly in her sleep.

"Awww…she is so cute" mumbled Kandy, noticing that Penny was beginning to stir. Penny kicked her back leg out, her tail wagging as she opened her eyes. She began to look around, still in a dreamy state as she noticed Kandy sitting alongside her.

"I see you've come back from work," said Penny, righting herself as her tongue returned to her muzzle. "Thank you…for helping today" continued Penny, being silent for a moment as Kandy eyed her, also considering her words. "You've certainly made today…easier" finished Penny, hanging her head down. Her ears drooped somewhat, the realisation that she was now a dog coming over her once more.

Kandy noticed this, wrapping her arms around Penny before starting to stroke her. Penny's tail wagged in response to the affection, acting almost like a small feather duster. She couldn't help but 'smile' at the affection as her tongue lapped out.

"It's the least I could do…for doing this to you" replied Kandy, seeming unsure of herself. Penny noticed this, seeing Kandy's downtrodden state.

"She really is trying," thought Penny, shifting herself as she licked Kandy with her tongue. Kandy was surprised at the affection, taken aback before smiling in response. She tightened her hug around Penny, stroking her more as Penny's tail wagged faster and faster.

However, all good things must come to an end as Penny saw a small glowing light around Kandy's neck. She focused on it, seeing that the yellow crystal was glowing.

"Wait…does that mean…an artefact is nearby?" thought Penny, trying to recall the night before. She remembered Kandy giving her a yellow crystal to help…find the collar that was now around her neck.

"Kandy…why is your crystal glowing?" asked Penny, snapping Kandy out of her trance. She looked downwards, noticing the crystal was lightly glowing. The glow was weak but certainly present as Kandy's eyes widened.

"Oh…poppycock," said Kandy out loud, immediately standing up. Penny managed to keep to all fours, her eyes widened as the scenario was exactly as she feared.

"I hope it hasn't been activated yet…" thought Penny, noticing Kandy seemed to be holding back her panic. She noticed Kandy rubbing her purple crystal, summoning 'Broomey' as she picked up Penny.

"I figure you'd want some fresh air" explained Kandy, Penny nodding in response. It was then Penny realised she had been camped out in front of the television all day and…a flight out actually sounded nice. "I would also appreciate the second pair of eyes" continued Kandy, trying to hold back her panic as she grabbed her umbrella.

"It's ok Kandy…I'll come with you" replied Penny, noticing Kandy smile slightly as she was placed down on the bristles around the end of 'Broomey.' She still didn't understand why they were so comfortable but Penny paid no mind for now.

As the pair hovered into mid-flight, Kandy moved towards a nearby balcony. She waved her umbrella, the doors opening on her command as she flew out of them. Before she took off truly, Kandy reached into her bag, pulling out another yellow crystal which she quickly pushed into Penny's collar.

The contact caused the pair to begin to fuse, the magical properties of the crystal mixing in with the collar as Penny soon noticed that her collar was glowing.

"Ok, I need you to bark at me when your collar starts flashing more" explained Kandy, noticing Penny nodding in agreement. Kandy smiled slightly, then motioned for 'Broomey' to take off.

'Broomey' quickly picked up speed, Penny was surprised to find that she wasn't struggling to stay on at all. She shook her head, figuring that magic was likely the answer…but there would be plenty of time for questions later.

For now…they were on a hunt for an artefact.

Pressing Engagement:
The pair were still in flight, day turning into night as 'Broomey' had slowed down.

Penny yelped out, the glow around her collar glowing stronger than ever as Kandy nodded in thanks as the pair found themselves above a large field. At this, the pair looked downwards, trying to find any sight of Kandy's artefact.

"So…what exactly are we looking for?" asked Penny, her expression now sceptical as Kandy seemed to stop for a moment.

"Let me check," replied Kandy, reaching into her bag. She struggled around, picking out her enchanted scroll. She opened it up, beginning to look through it as Penny tilted her head in annoyance.

"And she couldn't have checked at home…why?" snarked Penny internally, keeping her feelings to herself. "I mean…it could've helped narrow the location down…potentially," thought Penny, shaking her head as Kandy turned back to face her.

"I've…I've found it," said Kandy uneasily, presenting her scroll to Penny. The text around one of the artefacts was flashing yellow, giving Penny the impression that this is what they were looking for:

'The Cowbell of Engagement'

Penny got a glance at the list, noticing many other artefacts whose names were not crossed off the list. She shook her head, trying not to comment.

"Wow…she seems to have lost a lot" though Penny, her inner voice was deadpan. She looked around, noticing the pair seemed to be getting closer to the ground. She noticed 'Broomey' was preparing to land as she hoped the damage hadn't already been done.

Unfortunately, given the sight of the nearby cow and bull. It appeared that that artefact had already been triggered.

"Oh darn…we're too late," said Kandy, eying the cattle as she looked down at the ground in annoyance.

Meanwhile, Penny approached the cattle, keeping her distance as she glanced at the pristine white cowbell around the cow's neck. She tilted her head curiously, noticing the white nose ring in the bull.

"So…what was this artefact supposed to do?" asked Penny, feeling confused about her predicament. After all, over a day ago she was convinced magic didn't exist…but was now encountering it firsthand.

"It was supposed to transform an engaged couple into cattle" replied Kandy, noticing Penny's expression changing from scepticism…to annoyance.

"Seriously?" said Penny, her head tilted in confusion. "What motivated you to even create something like this?" asked Penny, noticing Kandy's expression…meaning even she didn't know. This caused Penny's tail to thump against the ground, squinting her eyes into a glare. "I guess 'why' has never been a popular word in your vocabulary" snarked Penny, no longer able to hold back.

Kandy was silent, understanding of Penny's accusation. After all, it was true as Kandy stared back towards the recently transformed cattle. She was wondering what to do with them, dreading the obvious answer but finding herself with few choices.

"Kandy? Are you even listening?" asked Penny, struggling not to growl. "I mean what's next…a monkey's paw?" continued Penny, noticing Kandy was now facing her.

Which, gave Penny the realisation of just how small her new dog body was.

"Of course not," replied Kandy, struggling not to hold back an expression of disgust. "Monkey's paws are barbaric and cliche…not to mention how they produce them" continued Kandy, trying to hold back her stomach lurching. "I mean…they cut off the paws of an innocent little monkey and enchant them…that's why they're so vengeful" finished Kandy, noticing Penny was now in a state of shock.

"Wha…what?" said Penny, unable to hold back her disgust. "Why…why would someone do such a thing?" asked Penny, still in shock.

"Because…not everyone who has magic is a good person" replied Kandy, eyeing the cattle once more. She held out her umbrella, a small light coming from the tip as the cattle then appeared mesmerised by it. Penny eyed Kandy, struggling not to feel some sympathy.

"Do you consider yourself a good person?" asked Penny, sitting patiently on her haunches.

"I try…it just doesn't always work out" replied Kandy, pointing her umbrella to an open area. "Meanwhile, whilst we're on the topic of good people…we need to take our couple here somewhere they'll be safe" finished Kandy, smiling softly as she watched her spell come to life.

Penny watched as a purple gateway began to form. It grew larger and larger as she looked on in surprise. She was surprised as she saw what appeared to be the formation of a ranch showing up on the other side. She then turned to face Kandy tapping her umbrella against her head. She was even more confused as she noticed a purple pulsation emerge from Kandy's head.

"Kandy?" asked Penny, feeling concerned for the witch before her despite their earlier argument.

"I'm ok" replied Kandy, smiling weakly in an attempt to ease Penny's concerns. "I just needed to send a message ahead of time…prepare these two for arriving" added Kandy, then holding out her umbrella. A small light came from the tip as the cattle were directed through the portal, quickly vanishing into it.

"And now…it's our turn," said Kandy, walking forward as Penny did the same. Kandy then turned back to face 'Broomey'. "I'll summon you when I'm needed" added Kandy, rubbing her purple crystal as 'Broomey' hovered away.

Then, the pair walked through the portal together. Kandy dreaded the upcoming conversation, hoping her old friend would understand.

Especially since this wasn't the first time.

Rehabilitating at the Ranch:
The night was well underway as the Ranch was beginning to wrap up its affairs for the long day that had been ahead of them. It had been a rather busy day preparing for the harvest as everyone, animal and human alike, had been busy and were ready to get some rest…so they could do it all tomorrow.

Although tonight was to be a little different, tonight was the night of the annual bonfire towards the back of the Ranch…one that was hosted by Jezebelle herself.

Right now, however, instead of joining her fellow farmhands, Jezebelle was currently awaiting the arrival of her friend, Kandy. She shook her head, already anticipating a difficult conversation as she noticed a purple portal opening up not too far from her location.

"Ok…let's try and get through this as painlessly as possible," thought Jezebelle, noticing a pair of cattle walking through the portal first. She shook her head, noticing the new cow and bull who stared at her mindlessly.

"Guess these ones don't have their human minds…" mused Jezebelle internally, mentally preparing to have some time with these two. If she couldn't remove the artefact…the least she could do was bring back their memories.

Jezebelle looked up, noticing Kandy with a sheepish smile as Jezebelle couldn't help but glare. This wasn't the first time that this had happened, and Jezebelle struggled to be patient sometimes in her old age.

"Hello partner," said Jezebelle, trying her best to keep a smile. However, she couldn't help but have some of her irritation come into her voice. She gazed at the Samoyed next to Kandy, shaking her head. "Of course, there'd be another," thought Jezebelle, unable to stop herself from chuckling.

"Jezzy?" asked Kandy, eyeing her 'friend' with concern. At least, Kandy thought Jezebelle was her friend. "You ok partner?" asked Kandy, noticing Jezebelle's expression steel up. Kandy felt small as she noticed Jezebelle eyeing her like a parent disciplining her child.

Given their age difference, Jezebelle could've very easily been Kandy's mother.

"I'm ok partner" reassured Jezebelle, taking her attention off the cattle as she eyed Kandy. She could sense Kandy's nervousness as she took a deep breath. "It's just…we both know this isn't the first time" stated Jezebelle, noticing Kandy shy away from the accusation.

"I know…I know" replied Kandy, feeling small as she shied away from Jezebelle's gaze. Jezebelle noticed this, taking her attention away from Kandy for a moment as she turned her gaze towards Penny.

"Now look at you partner" said Jezebelle, eyeing Penny as she reached out a hand. She gazed at Penny, signalling if it was ok to stroke her. Penny nodded in response, allowing Jezebelle to stroke her head which, like the night before, ended with Penny's tail wagging eagerly.

"Nice to see you like that," said Jezebelle, her tone warm as she eyed Penny before taking a quick glance back at Kandy. "Now, I need to talk to Kandy privately so feel free to look around,'' continued Jezebelle, Penny realising the seriousness in Jezebelle's body language. "I have a few other dogs who would be interested in meeting you" finished Jezebelle, giving Penny her out as Penny took a moment to stare at Kandy.

"I…I just hope she's not too hard on Kandy" thought Penny, shaking her head as she wandered away. She walked further into the ranch, curious about what strange things she might encounter.

As Penny left the pair alone, Jezebelle turned back to face Kandy. She crossed her arms, giving the impression that she was disappointed as Kandy looked down towards the ground.

"Let me guess…another misplaced artefact?" asked Jezebelle, her tone stern but tired.

"I…I'm trying to find them Jezzy" defended Kandy weakly, taking a moment to eye Jezebelle before returning her gaze to the ground.

As Jezebelle stared at Kandy, she couldn't help but feel some pity for the witch before her. She rubbed her eyes, struggling to stay mad. "I know Kandy…but we can't keep doing this forever" replied Jezebelle, motioning back to the pair of cattle. "You need to stop being so careless partner…I don't want to be competing with Rebecca over her" continued Jezebelle, noticing Kandy perk up.

"Oh…how is Bex?" asked Kandy, immediately regretting the words once she saw Jezebelle's expression.

As much as Jezebelle wanted to blow up at Kandy, she held her tongue. After all, Kandy had always been like this…and Jezebelle knew Kandy was as much of a victim as all the other apprentices.

Except maybe Daniel…he seemed to be doing well for himself.

"I wouldn't know partner" replied Jezebelle, rubbing her eyes once more. "I haven't seen her in years…especially after what happened to my cousin" continued Jezebelle, noticing Kandy nod in understanding.

Kandy then looked at the ground, lost for words. She noticed Jezebelle's tired posture, and how she rubbed her eyes constantly. Everything about Jezebelle just seemed to indicate a woman who took on a lot more than most…and still managed to make the most of it.

"I'm…I'm sorry…for all…the trouble…I caused" stammered Kandy, tears threatening to escape her eyes. Jezebelle stared at her, unable to not feel sympathetic as she moved towards Kandy, pulling her into a hug.

"I know partner…I know" replied Jezebelle, rubbing Kandy's back. She soothed the girl before her as she felt a small strain in her wrist. She paid it no mind, however, focusing on Kandy.

As the pair broke their embrace, Kandy eyed Jezebelle with a concerned expression.

"How…how have you been? Health wise I mean?" asked Kandy, noticing Jezebelle's tiredness as she rubbed her eyes once more.

"I've…I've felt better" admitted Jezebelle, feeling her guard slipping in front of her friend. "I'm just getting old…too old" continued Jezebelle, thinking back to Rebecca before quickly dismissing the thought.

"I guess you're still preparing Tucker?" asked Kandy, her expression curious.

"Yes…but I have a few things I need to sort out first" replied Jezebelle, eyeing Kandy. "Please don't tell him just yet…the Ranch isn't ready to be given to him yet" continued Jezebelle, noticing Kandy nod in understanding.

"Well…I guess me and Penny should get going," said Kandy, about to signal 'Broomey' when she turned back to Jezebelle. "After all, I have work in the morning…" finished Kandy, noticing Jezebelle seemed to be unsure of something. "What is it?" asked Kandy, her expression curious as she turned back to face Jezebelle.

"You know you don't need our master's approval..right?" asked Jezebelle, her tone serious.

"Of course…still, it would be nice to have" admitted Kandy, feeling unsure about the night before but choosing not to focus on it. She looked down at the ground again, taking a moment before clutching the purple crystal around her neck.

"Wait…Kandy, why don't you stick around for the bonfire?" offered Jezebelle, noticing Kandy perk up. "I mean…your new partner should be given a chance to see how we see the world" reasoned Jezebelle, noticing Kandy nod with approval. "Excellent, there's always room for one more" finished Jezebelle, motioning for Kandy to follow her.

Jezebelle raised her hand, her magic motioning for the pair of cattle to follow as she planned to make a detour to the barn before heading towards the bonfire.

"After all…Jasmine could do with some more company" thought Jezebelle, chuckling internally as she couldn't help but smile. To her credit, Jasmine had been better behaved since her talk with Olivia…it was nice to see her hard work appearing to be paying off.

As Jezebelle turned to look back at Kandy, she was also happy to be in the company of a good friend. One that was genuinely trying to be better which, perhaps her new partner could be of assistance in, supporting Kandy to mature into someone less careless.

"Still…it's nice that she's here," thought Jezebelle, feeling a small sense of worry for the approaching bonfire.

After all, it had been an interesting year…and Jezebelle was expecting many uncomfortable questions tonight.

Description
The courier's office was lively, people frantically running from one place to another. The backroom was extremely large, cluttered and overall, cramped.

Package after package, letter after letter, stacks of never-ending mail was the norm as Kandy entered the chaotic environment, umbrella in hand, bag on her shoulder, barely avoiding bumping into another caffeine-deficit employee. She rubbed the purple crystal around her neck, nodding in understanding as she expected 'Broomey' to get to their 'office' first.

"This is why I have my coffee before coming to work" mused Kandy, blushing as she yawned. "Still…last night was a late night…wasn't it?" thought Kandy, recalling the new tenant she had waiting back at home.

Kandy shook her head, admonishing herself internally at her mistake. Kandy headed towards her station, going through the motions as she thought back to her new Samoyed friend…or at least she hoped they were friends?

"I do hope Penny comes around…although I wouldn't blame her if she doesn't" thought Kandy, pouting irritably as she headed towards a back room…her special projects room.

Kandy entered the room, closing the door behind her. She took a moment to breathe, finding herself alone with her thoughts at long last. She blinked, her heterochromic eyes drooping slightly as she noticed 'Broomey' already in his designated corner, having entered through the nearby window.

She looked into her bag, pulling out an enchanted scroll. It had yellow paper, the ends purple as she pulled it open, deciding to do a quick inventory check before heading out to her position.

"Ok, everything seems to be in order" mused Kandy, scanning through her list. It was a list of every artefact that she had ever created…and lost. Kandy bit her lip nervously, continuing to scroll through the list as she noticed something that made her blood run cold.

"Wait…didn't I find that one?" thought Kandy, noticing that the enchanted soap, the one with the shadow of a housecat, was not crossed off. Kandy shook her head in denial, hoping that the scroll was wrong…that an error had occurred.

"Where is it?!" said Kandy, her tone becoming more frantic as she opened her shoulder bag. She reached into it, desperately trying to find a grip on the soap, proving the scroll wrong.

Unfortunately, the scroll was correct. A fact that caused Kandy to throw her shoulder bag across the room.

"Oh…why am I so bloody clueless Broomey?!" shouted Kandy, frustrated as she stamped her feet. "First, I can't hide my magic for more than a few hours at my job, next my artefacts keep going missing and finally…I can only possibly gain a friend by transforming them first" continued Kandy, tears threatening to escape her eyes as her pair of crystals jingled slightly around her neck. She sat down on the floor, her legs losing the strength to keep herself up.

'Broomey' appeared sympathetic, or at least as sympathetic as a magic broomstick could appear. He tried to hover towards his mistress, comfort her, but could only do so at her command. Something that Kandy wasn't in the mental state for at the moment.

"Well…might as well get to work," said Kandy, forcing herself up as she headed towards the table in the centre of the room. She smiled, grateful as she remembered the opportunity she had been given…the chance to prove herself.

"And I can't let him down," thought Kandy, concentrating intently as she grabbed her umbrella. A small glow came from the tip as her hair straightened out, the long blond ponytails filling out as the purple streaks adjusted back into place. Her blue polo shirt, part of her mail uniform, straightened out, the creases vanishing as her skirt did the same, becoming neat as Kandy took a deep breath.

"Now…onto the main floor," thought Kandy, flashing her familiar, cute smile as she pushed the doors open. She walked onto the main floor, a smile on her face as she eyed her co-workers, most smiling in response.

"Morning Lyla," said Kandy, her smile wide as Lyla turned to face Kandy. She glanced at Kandy for a moment, staring at her for a moment before turning away. "Ok…have a nice day" continued Kandy, continuing to walk towards her station.

Lyla was like most people Kandy encountered. If they weren't weirded out by her eyes, then it was by her magic. Given Kandy's lack of subtlety, carelessness and the fact that she accidentally had a magical outburst on her first day…most people were afraid…or more likely weirded out to approach her.

"At least Mr Hamper was willing to give me a chance," thought Kandy, grateful that she had some good fortune in her life. "I just hope not to let him down" continued Kandy, reaching her station as she noticed the pile of mail before her.

"Ok…time to sort some letters" mused Kandy, holding up her umbrella as a small glow came from the tip. The letters proceeded to organise themselves, splitting between postcodes before placing themselves neatly into piles. They then hovered towards a nearby shelving unit, each pile going into a different slot for the person responsible for the various mail runs.

The parcels were more exciting to Kandy as she waved her umbrella, watching as the parcels hovered down the hall towards her 'office' with 'Broomey'. She smiled as she looked forward to the afternoon delivery, which was the highlight of her job.

"Spectacular as every Kandy" called out a familiar voice, Kandy's eyes widening with surprise. She turned, soon coming face to face with her boss, one of the few people Kandy could trust, one of the few people who understood her.

It was her boss, Mr Hamper.

Mr Hamper was a rather large man. He wore a large blue polo shirt, his belly rotund alongside brown trousers and well-shined shoes. He had a well-trimmed moustache and glasses that could make him look fierce to some depending on the light. His brown eyes glistened slightly under the light, shining like fine marbles. Finally, his tall posture screamed authority, indicating that getting on his bad side was a terrible idea.

Kandy however, knew that deep down…Mr Hamper was a real softie. He stood up for the workers under his management and was, within reason, always patient and understanding.

Kandy truly admired Mr Hamper, for giving her a chance that nobody else did.

"Tha…thank you Mr Hamper" replied Kandy, stammering as she was taken off guard. She shook her head, regaining her composure quickly. "You'd think having magic would make it harder for people to sneak up on me" wondered Kandy, dismissing the thought as she eyed her boss. He seemed to have a curious glance on his face.

"Is everything alright Kandy?" asked Mr Hamper, showing the same empathetic smile that Kandy had long become accustomed to.

In fact…it was her favourite thing about him.

"It's nothing…really" replied Kandy, looking down in shame. Mr Hamper eyed her empathetically, bending down to her level.

"Are you sure?" asked Mr Hamper, noticing Kandy seemed to be opening up again "You know you can come to me for anything Kandy?" said Mr Hamper, his tone still warm as Kandy nodded in agreement.

"It happened again" replied Kandy, noticing Mr Hamper's eyes widening momentarily. The sight caused Kandy to look back towards the floor in shame.

"Another misplaced package?" clarified Mr Hamper, Kandy nodding in response. He sighed, taking a deep breath as he considered what to say. "What was it this time?" asked Mr Hamper, his tone curious as Kandy looked up at him.

"It was a bar of enchanted soap," replied Kandy, her tone sullen. "Designed to transform the user into a cat" continued Kandy, noticing Mr Hamper nod in understanding.

"Well, I imagine that there are likely a few more cats in the world," said Mr Hamper, noticing Kandy still sullen about the situation. "But…you can't let your mistakes weigh you down, Kandy," continued Mr Hamper, trying to reassure Kandy as she looked up. "Kandy…I know things have been…and continue to be difficult but the fact that you're trying to do better is the most important thing" finished Mr Hamper, noticing Kandy give a small smile.

"Since you've finished your pile…how about you get an early start on the deliveries?" suggested Mr Hamper, familiar with Kandy's fondness of the outdoors…especially when riding 'Broomey.'

"Really? Would that be ok?" asked Kandy, noticing Mr Hamper nod in response. She quickly grabbed him into a hug, squeezing for a moment before realising she was at work. She blushed awkwardly, her ponytails bouncing slightly.

"Don't worry about it Kandy" said Mr Hamper, already sensing Kandy's awkwardness. He noticed her heading back towards her 'office', preparing for the deliveries today as he sighed internally. His mind drifted back towards his other workers, how they each tended to keep their distance from Kandy.

Unfortunately, despite his fondness for Kandy, Mr Hamper couldn't exactly blame them.

"But…she is the only person in our workforce who has magic…" mused Mr Hamper, grateful that his superiors didn't ask too many questions about Kandy's performance metrics. "Certainly helps with delivering letters and preventing packages from being damaged mid-flight" continued Mr Hamper, remembering how Kandy had explained how she used magic to prevent herself from dropping packages whilst flying.

Deep down, Mr Hamper wished he could delegate Kandy to solely delivery as, barring the occasional misplaced package, she was rather exceptional at the role. Unfortunately, as per typical bureaucracy, his superiors prevented him from hiring another person to fill the position in-house.

"I'll convince them eventually," said Mr Hamper, taking a quick look at his wristwatch. It was time to check on his other workers and make sure that they were doing their job.

After all, the mail was never-ending…and someone had to maintain a tight ship around here.

In a Distant Apartment:
Penny found herself adrift, oddly comfortable even as she felt herself floating on a cloud. It was blissful, heavenly even. An absolute godsend following the countless evenings on the street, giving her a sense of bliss that she hadn't felt in an extremely long time.

"Is…is this heaven?" thought Penny, wondering if she had died in her sleep. Was her encounter with that witch just all been a dream? Did she really transform into a dog? Had her life come to an end?

A wagging tail seemed to be doing its best to convince her otherwise.

"Nah…it's all in my mind," thought Penny lazily, feeling herself beginning to stir awake. She opened her navy blue eyes, noticing she was laid out and staring at what appeared to be a ceiling.

"Huh?" barked Penny, confused at the noise she made. It was then her eyes widened, causing her to right herself onto all fours. She paid that no mind, quickly rushing towards a nearby full-length mirror as she glanced at herself.

In the mirror, her only reflection was of a Samoyed dog. Although Penny did have to concede that she was rather cute, like a big white fluffy ball as she got a glance at the collar she was wearing.

"So…it wasn't a dream?" barked Penny, glaring at the collar she was wearing. She could feel it all coming back to her…that witch's missing artefact, her transformation because of the stupid collar around her neck…and the fact that the witch gave her a place to stay.

"It…it could be worse" admitted Penny, 'smiling' over the fact that she at least had a place to stay. She recalled Kandy's sobs from the night before, unable to get herself angry at the woman who did this to her.

"So I'm a dog for now," thought Penny, noticing that the door to the room she was in was fortunately open. She looked around, noticing the bed that she'd been laying on only moments before. "I guess Kandy let me sleep there…last I remember, I was on her broomstick" wondered Penny, deciding to explore what she imagined would be her new living space for the foreseeable future.

She could smell something wafting against her nose, her new sense of smell making the aroma intoxicating as Penny's tongue couldn't help but lop out of her mouth. A speck of drool dripped from it, as Penny wandered to what she presumed was the kitchen area.

"This…this place is huge!" thought Penny, fully aware that her smaller size would cause the apartment to look bigger but she was amazed nonetheless. Even when she was living in her own apartment, this was a whole new standard of living.

Penny's nose led herself to a small plate on the floor which had a small piece of chicken on it. As Penny smelled it further, she knew it was cooked as she panted with anticipation at consuming the fine-smelling meat before her.

However, before she could do so, Penny's attention was diverted to a nearby note. She read it, her heart thawing slightly as she took in the words:

'Hope this will do for my good girl for the time being…we can discuss longer-term arrangements when I return from work'

"Well…she clearly cares" barked Penny, the chicken becoming too hard to resist. As her stomach rumbled, she dug in. She made swift use of her new canine teeth, tearing into the meat as she 'smiled', content for…the first time in a while.

"That was delicious" admitted Penny, happy to have a full stomach for once. She looked around, noticing the other doors in the apartment were open. She 'shrugged', figuring she should find something to occupy herself for the time being.

Penny wandered into another room, her nose acting as her guide as she took in various smells. She found herself in what appeared to be a living room. She glanced at the relatively large television, recalling her smaller stature.

"Still…it's nice to be able to relax for a moment" mused Penny, recalling the nights on the streets. The cold winds, the uncomfortable surfaces…and the lack of regard people showed her.

For Penny, it was a nice feeling that someone actually seemed to care about her.

"She…Kandy is certainly…interesting" barked Penny, sitting on her haunches for a moment. She eyed the large sofa in the room, noticing how soft it looked. Penny wandered over to it, glancing up at the sofa curiously.

"It…it does look soft, nice even," thought Penny, bending her legs as she tried to get into a jumping position. She leapt, fortunately clearing the sofa as she managed to lie herself down on it. She noticed the remote to the television nearby…with another note attached.

'I figured you'd want to find something to pass the time whilst I'm gone, If you've found this note, I figure you enjoy television'

"Wow…she's certainly thoughtful" barked Penny, curious as to what other notes she might find throughout the apartment. Although for now, she shook her head, deciding to lie on the sofa as she pressed her paw down on the power button on the remote.

The television came to life, Penny swivelling her ears slightly, her enhanced hearing making it easy to listen as she took in the programme before her.

Penny lied back, relaxing as she continued to watch television, wondering when Kandy would return home and curious as to her life ahead of her.

High Above The Ground:
Kandy felt the wind flying against her face as she smiled widely. She picked up more speed, overjoyed as she could feel her troubles slipping away…at least for the moment.

"Good thing I have that ignorance charm placed on 'Broomey' thought Kandy, glad that no one else would take notice as she continued to fly through the air. She couldn't help but feel liberated as she once again hollered in joy as the wind continued to race past her.

However, Kandy eventually came to a stop. She took a deep breath, calming herself as she took a glance down at the city below.

Everything looked so small…so insignificant. Which proved to be rather useful for Kandy every once in a while. It truly helped put her problems into perspective, allowing her to think through her problems.

Now if only she was as good at coming up with solutions.

"No…not now," thought Kandy, dismissing her thoughts. She thought back to Penny, hoping that Penny was receptive to the 'helpful' notes she had left around the house. Kandy, trying to take her mind off of Penny, looked back to her deliveries, noticing that she had managed to complete them in record time.

"Well Mr Hamper will be happy at least" mused Kandy, reaching back towards her bag. She pulled out her reports with one hand and pulled a pen into existence with the other hand as she began to fill out her paperwork.

"Ok, let's see here…" mumbled Kandy, filling out the first page of many. Despite her attempts to focus, she couldn't help but think back to Penny…her new roommate?

"I mean…we are technically sharing the same space," said Kandy, unable to stop herself from getting excited. "I know Penny seemed rather perturbed about being a dog" continued Kandy, recalling the night before. "Still, it would be nice to have made a friend" finished Kandy, noticing she had filled out the first page of her paperwork.

"Well…it's time to get on with this and then go see how Penny's doing?" said Kandy, focusing on the report before her as she continued to fill the paperwork out. After this, all she would need to do is take it back to Mr Hamper then her shift would be completed.

After what had felt like an eternity but in reality, had only been half an hour, Kandy held her paperwork up. She had a victorious smile on her face, glad to have finished what she considered the boring aspects of her job.

However, Mr Hamper had stressed the necessity of it…something Kandy was willing to respect.

"Now…time to drop this off at the office and then I'll go see how Penny is doing" mumbled Kandy, placing her paperwork in her bag. She then nodded at 'Broomey' who began to pick up speed in understanding.

As Kandy felt the wind blowing against her face, 'Broomey's' speed helped more and more of her surroundings disappear. Kandy smiled widely as she felt liberated, free from her problems…if only for a little while.

However, as a result, Kandy failed to notice that the yellow crystal around her neck was faintly glowing.

A Picnic to Remember:
The sun was shining pleasantly downwards, the sky a lovely shade of blue as a couple was walking pleasantly towards a spot they had frequently visited since they had become a couple.

"It sure is a lovely day today..isn't it?" asked Ramona, smiling widely. She knew where she and her boyfriend were fast approaching. With a picnic basket in hand, she couldn't wait until they were able to enjoy the nice, pleasant weather over a simple picnic.

Now, if only her boyfriend would stop being so secretive.

Rex nodded in agreement, gazing into Ramona's beautiful emerald eyes. He couldn't help but stare for a moment longer than intended. He truly loved Ramona, and, assuming everything went to plan…they'd be able to cherish one another forever.

"Yes that day is lovely" replied Rex, noticing Ramona gaze at him lovingly. As Rex swept her into his arms, the pair gazed lovingly at one another, truly in love as they pulled together for a kiss. The pair cherished the moment, embracing each other as they expressed their love.

As the pair broke off their kiss, Rex stared at Ramona, his smile wide as he smiled. "But the day couldn't possibly be as lovely as you," said Rex simply, noticing Ramona holding back tears of joy. "Now…how about we continue?" asked Rex, noticing Ramona nod with excitement.

It caught Rex off guard, making him question himself briefly. "Does she already know?" wondered Rex, dismissing the thought. After all, it wasn't particularly important whether she knew…the important thing would be whether she accepted.

Whether she accepted to be his wife.

The pair continued in silence, anticipation building up in both of them as they opened a nearby gate. They looked around, noticing the large green field they were standing in. It was empty this time of day, the grass was a moderate length as the pair wandered to their favourite spot by the old tree.

Ramona opened the picnic basket under her arm, pulling out a large tablecloth which she laid out on the ground. She stared at her partner, nodding as they sat down. Ramona took a moment to stretch, resting her back against the old tree as the shade proved to be rather cool.

"This spot is really nice…isn't it?" asked Ramona, taking another look as Rex began to unpack the picnic. She smiled warmly at him, already anticipating her boyfriend's plan but not desiring to spoil it for him.

Still, she couldn't help but feel excited for the moment she knew was to come.

"It certainly is," replied Rex, finishing unpacking the picnic as he checked his pocket. He smiled as he knew what was to come. He watched the sun shining down, the atmosphere feeling perfect as Rex knew that now was the time.

"The moment's perfect" thought Rex, grabbing the box within the contents in his pocket. Now was the time, the perfect time to ask Ramona if she'd be his…for now, and forever.

Unknown to the pair, the field they had come into had unknowingly come into contact with one of Kandy's artefacts. It was designed to work only with engaged couples…something which Ramona and Rex would soon, perfectly fit the description.

"Ramona, will you marry me?" asked Rex, opening the small box to reveal a simple, yet elegant engagement ring. Ramona shifted back, tears in her eyes as she couldn't hold back her excitement.

"Yes…oh yes!" shouted Ramona, hurling herself at Rex who caught her in his arms. The pair hugged as Ramona had tears of joy in her eyes. The pair continued to embrace as she began to feel very warm, tingly. She dismissed the discomfort, blaming it on her excited nerves as she noticed Rex appeared the same.

"Rex? Yooooou ok?" asked Ramona, confused as to her slurred words but dismissing it for the moment.

"Yes Ramooooona" replied Rex, feeling oddly disoriented as he felt sensations occurring all over his body.

"What…what's goooing oooon?" said Ramona, noticing her words were slurred again. She felt strange and disoriented as other sensations were occurring across her body. As she looked around, she noticed something flashing in the corner of her eye.

Ramona blinked, figuring it was just a trick of the light. However, once the light flashed again, she took a closer look. She broke from the embrace with Rex, trying to get a better look.

"What…what is it?" asked Rex, surprised that his words hadn't slurred again.

"I…I doooon't knoooow" replied Ramona, trying to ignore how her words seemed deeper, more like…

"No…that's not possible," thought Ramona, getting to her feet as she headed towards the light. She began to pick up the pace, feeling goosebumps all over her skin.

"Wait for me" called out Rex, quickly catching up to the pace of his fiancee. They headed further towards the sparkling light, both eyeing it with surprise as they spotted the object responsible. It was floating right in front of their eyes

It appeared to be a bell of some sort, pristine white in colour. The strap appeared to be made of strong, sturdy leather which was purple and yellow intertwining together. There appeared to be something hanging from the bell, a bright shade of yellow as it appeared to be a ring of some kind.

"Is that…a cowbell?" wondered Ramona, her expression confused as Rex gazed at the strange floating object. They couldn't help but feel weirded out by the whole affair as the bell suddenly rang.

"MOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" lowed Ramona, craning her head up to the sky. She gave out a genuine bovine bellow as she felt her mind go blank momentarily.

"MOOOOOOOOOOO!" bellowed Rex, his voice deeper, more hoarse. It sounded like the deep bellow of a bull as he felt his mind, like his fiancee's, go blank.

The bell flashed, as if satisfied with the outcome. It then rang once more, clearly preparing to put its plan into action. The ring attached to it came loose, freeing itself from the clutches of the bell as it zoomed forward towards Rex.

It firmly clipped itself onto his nose, tightening to the point where it would be impossible to force off. It then flashed, preparing Rex for the rest of his transformation.

The bell did the opposite, zooming towards Ramona as the strap sealed itself around her neck. The bell rang as Ramona made small movements, the bell flashing as it began to prepare Ramona for the rest of her transformation.

As the artefacts finished flashing, Ramona felt her senses returning. She looked around, noticing the large nose ring around Rex's nose as she noticed his senses seemed to be returning too.

As a result of her shifting her head, Ramona's attention was then drawn to the large cowbell attached to her neck. She gazed down at it curiously, clasping it in her hand as she tried to make sense of the situation before her.

"What…is happening to us?" wondered Ramona internally, feeling a strange sensation coming over her. She felt a scent wafting against her nose, as Ramona looked around in confusion for the origin of such an alluring aroma.

Ramona looked down, noticing the grass beneath her feet. She couldn't help herself as she bent down, the aroma becoming stronger as she realised where it was coming from.

"Gr…grass?" though Ramona, confused as she turned back to face her husband. He seemed to be confused by the large nose ring weighing down on him as he tugged on it, finding it wedged tightly in.

"Ah…why is this nose ring so…tight?" thought Rex, feeling a tingling in his scalp. It seemed as if something was trying to force itself out. He clutched his head, Ramona eying him curiously as the aroma of the grass once again wafted around her nose.

"No…why does the grass seem so…tasty?" mumbled Ramona, shaking her head in denial. She could feel her stomach grumbling, changing internally. She clutched her stomach, eyeing her husband as she could feel her stomach…splitting?

As Ramona fell to the ground, now on her knees, she noticed growing protrusions from her fiance's head. She couldn't help as her mouth gaped open, noticing the growing white horns as they burst through Rex's forehead.

"Ramona…you ok?" asked Rex, trying to keep calm as he felt his newfound horns. As he stroked them, however, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride come over him. The sensations continue to tingle around the horns, causing them to stretch out slightly longer, giving him an impressive pair of horns.

"You look…look so…mooooo" lowed Ramona, struggling as she felt a hot flush of arousal come over her. It was just something about Rex's horns…something that made her feel so…horny. "He'll be a good mate," thought Ramona, the bovine instincts beginning to take root in her mind as the aroma of the grass wafted against her nose once more.

This time, Ramona found herself unable to resist as she got onto her hands and knees. She bent downwards, chomping down on the succulent grass as she felt the many flavours across her tongue. As she continued to graze, she could feel pressure developing in her coccyx.

However, she paid it no mind, all that mattered right now…was getting the grass.

"Ramona?" asked Rex, trying to get his fiance's attention to no avail. He tried to walk forward, feeling his body becoming increasingly stiff. His back began to ache, Rex pushing on despite the pain as muscle began to pile more and more on his frame, tightening his clothes.

This was until suddenly, Rex lurched forward. He tried to catch himself, falling onto his hands and knees. His clothes continued to feel tight as he felt his body lengthen, stretching out. His spine became straight, binding him to all fours as his arms lengthened out, reaching to match his legs.

Rex, however, was too distracted by the aroma of the grass to notice that he was now standing comfortably, and naturally on all fours. He bent down, feeling his neck extend as he chewed and chewed the grass, savouring its sweet juices.

"Wait…something…wrong," thought Rex, his mind too muddled to focus as he stared at his fiancee, noticing the growing pressure around her rear. Something appeared to be moving underneath her sundress.

Meanwhile, Ramona's new tail was swishing back and forth as she continued to graze. It had a soft tuft of white fur at the tip, the rest of the tail containing a mixture of black and white fur. Ramona relaxed as it swished, feeling like she had always been born with a tail as she continued to graze at the succulent grass.

"Wait…I don't have a tail!" thought Ramona, snapping out of her thoughts. Her eyes regained their clarity, forcing her head upwards from the grass. She looked around, noticing her fiance's new posture currently grazing at the grass.

As she stared at him, however, Ramona couldn't help but feel aroused.

This caused her to feel a warmth coming from her genitals. She moaned as she couldn't help but feel aroused as she felt her vagina move back, becoming animalistic as it settled under her tail. Ramona lowed softly as she couldn't help but daydream about mating with the changing bull before her.

"Wait…this is wroooooong," said Ramona, her tone uncertain. "Why does this feel so right?" wondered Ramona, struggling to think straight as she felt a tingling in her breasts. She looked down, the cowbell ringing as she did so as her eyes widened.

"Oh no!" panicked Ramona, noticing her breasts appeared to be sinking into her body. She could feel a sensation now bubbling within her legs as she knew exactly what was coming next. "My…my udder?" thought Ramona, completely mortified as what felt like a balloon was growing between her legs. She moaned, having accidentally squeezed her developing udder.

However, as it continued to swell, the magic of the cowbell causing her to lactate, Ramona couldn't help but feel a sense of pride come over her. She then turned to face Rex, noticing that he had stopped grazing.

Ramona noticed Rex's clothes were tight, barely holding onto him as her arousal returned full force. This caused Ramona to low softly as her eyes became blank.

"C'mon big boy…you know you want me," said Ramona seductively, turning to face Rex as she raised her tail. She presented her bovine vagina to Rex, shivering with anticipation as he approached.

However, to her surprise, Rex instead went for her udder. He clasped around a teat, locking his mouth around it as he began to suckle. The sudden rush of euphoria proved to be too much for Ramona as her eyes rolled back in her head.

"MOOOOOOO!" lowed Ramona, oblivious to how she just mooed like the cow she was becoming. As Rex continued to drink from her udder, more sensations came over the pair, accelerating their changes as the pair enjoyed the moment together.

Internally, Rex swelled with pride as he felt his body become even more muscular. His clothes were becoming tighter and tighter, eventually bursting off his body as he felt like a true bull. He kept drinking, encouraging his changes as he heard his mate lowing in pleasure.

"She'll be perfect…perfect for my calves," thought Rex, his mind completely muddled with bovine instinct as he could feel his next changes coming along.

He felt a growing at the base of his spine, a pushing as his coccyx pulled out, separating from his spin as it began to form into a developing tail. Rex could feel his new tail swishing instinctively, hitting a nearby fly in the process as it continued to lengthen, a black tussle of fur forming at the tip as small itches began to form upwards.

Rex smiled, content that his majestic animal fur was forming. He could then feel his muzzle beginning to push out, stretching longer and longer as his nose became more sensitive. As it did so, Rex 'smiled', being able to smell his mate in heat as it had a direct effect on his genitalia.

Rex smirked as he felt his package growing out, becoming longer and longer as it was transforming into a true bullcock. He swelled with pride as he eyes Ramona's needy vagina, ever ready to be claimed.

However, Ramona wasn't quite the right size for mating just yet. Something that Rex could see was very quickly being rectified.

Ramona, oblivious to her mate's changes, was still taking in the euphoria of the milk being drained from her udder. She breathed contented, lowing softly as she could feel the tingling sensations occurring all over her body.

She breathed in as she felt herself beginning to bulk up, pushing against her sundress as pound after pound of fat began to stick to her frame. She could feel her spine straighten out, confining her to all fours as her hips changed, assuming a different shape.

"MOOOOOOOOO!" lowed Ramona, her increasing fat proving to be too much for her dress as it tore off her, falling to the ground. She could then feel an urge coming from her rear. She managed to turn around, noticing her mate eyeing her intently. She felt the heat coming over her, making the temptation to mate impossible to ignore as she mooed with approval, noticing her mate move forward.

As Rex mounted Ramona, supporting himself on her now enlarged rear, he could feel a tingling come over his hands and feet. He paid it no mind as he plunged into Ramona's vagina, the pair bellowing in ecstasy.

Ramona mooed in pleasure as she could feel a tingling forming at her hands and feet. As Rex began to thrust, she found it difficult to support him as her hands and feet were struggling to keep their grip on the ground.

"Yes…make me perfect," thought Ramona, noticing her hands begin to stiffen up. She could feel the same happening with her feet as she eyed them darkening, the fingers pushing themselves together as the thumbs were sucked back into her palms.

Her toes were doing the same, sticking together and stretching out, becoming hard as nails as they darkened into a black colour. Ramona mooed out with contentment as her hands and feet had been swiftly replaced with four new hooves.

"MOOOO!" bellowed Ramona, encouraging Rex to begin to thrust harder, faster. She couldn't help it as her lust overcame her, silencing any possible resistance. She could feel an itching sensation come over her as black and white fur began to grow in.

On the other hand, Rex could feel his hands and feet beginning to stiffen up. It was becoming difficult to keep a grip on Ramona but he pressed on, determined to see the mating through. His hands and feet quickly stiffened up into a pair of hooves, easily supporting his now much more muscular body.

Rex bellowed out, demanding his changes finish as he could feel his new, smooth, black fur spreading across his entire body. It spread like wildfire as Rex's pride swelled out, his self-confidence strengthening as his transformation completed itself.

Now Rex was a complete bull, eager to mate with the cow before him as he picked up the pace once more.

"MOOO!" lowed Ramona, feeling her mate approaching a climax as, from the neck down, she was a complete cow. She could feel the sensations approaching her face, the bell ringing beneath her neck to encourage them on.

"Wait…this…this isn't right," thought Ramona, trying to resist the changes hitting her mind. She tried to push back, finding herself powerless to do so as everything just seemed…calm. Ramona's attempts at resistance were pointless as she felt herself tiring out as if drifting off into a peaceful sleep.

Meanwhile, the physical changes were spreading much faster as Ramona felt a small pair of horns grow from her temples, a small trickle of blood splashing down her eyes. She blinked, still trying to struggle against what was happening to her.

But the pleasure from Rex was proving to be too much, each thrust scrambling her brain as further sensations came over her body.

Ramona felt her neck lengthening, extending, making it easier to reach the grass beneath her hooves. The aroma was still strong but the pleasure from the mating felt outright intoxicating. As her neck cracked forward once more, she could feel tingling around her face.

It was then her face began to stretch out, pushing out between her eyes as her muzzle began to form. It stretched out, longer and longer as her teeth changed, becoming more square. She felt content, happy even as the rest of her black and white fur finished spreading across her face.

Ramona had now physically finished her transformation and, soon enough, would be complete mentally as well.

"No…I need to fight this!" thought Ramona, trying one last time to resist. She tried to push back against the magic, the thoughts invading her mind. She noticed their torn clothing across the field began to disappear as she tried desperately to hold onto her human mind.

A mind that was silenced as Rex climaxed into her. The waves of euphoria proved to be too much for Ramona's mind, leaving her bovine mind in control as her eyes dulled over, becoming true cow eyes.

"MOOOOOOOOOOO!" lowed Ramona, now a cow in body and mind as Rex dismounted. Her tail swished curiously, the scent of the grass drawing her muzzle back to the ground.

She bent downwards, grabbing the grass with her bovine tongue before pulling it back into her mouth. She mooed contentedly, eyeing her mate nearby as she could already feel their calf growing inside of her.

On the other hand, Rex eyed his mate with pride, content to be close to her. He walked closer to her, bending his head down to graze alongside her.

The newly engaged pair of cattle continued to enjoy their company, content in the simplicity of grazing the day away.

Especially, since all they needed was each other.

Returning Home:
"Penny! I'm home!" called out Kandy, walking through her front door as she hung up her umbrella nearby. She rubbed her purple crystal, directing 'Broomey' to his stand as she walked through to her kitchen area.

"Well, at least she's eaten" thought Kandy, noticing the plate she had left for Penny was now empty. She smiled softly, hoping that perhaps Penny was at least empathetic to Kandy's efforts. It was then she heard the television blaring softly in the nearby living room.

"Guess she does like TV after all" mumbled Kandy, her smile widening as she walked into the living room. She looked around, noticing Penny sprawled out on the sofa. She was completely stretched out, her tongue flopped out of her mouth as she was completely fast asleep. Kandy had to resist the urge not to 'awwww' as she noticed how adorable Penny looked.

"I wonder if she knows how cute she looks when asleep?" thought Kandy, carefully sitting down on the sofa. She then began to stroke Penny, noticing her tail wagging in response to the affection. "At least I know she likes this" continued Kandy internally, Penny starting to yip softly in her sleep.

"Awww…she is so cute" mumbled Kandy, noticing that Penny was beginning to stir. Penny kicked her back leg out, her tail wagging as she opened her eyes. She began to look around, still in a dreamy state as she noticed Kandy sitting alongside her.

"I see you've come back from work," said Penny, righting herself as her tongue returned to her muzzle. "Thank you…for helping today" continued Penny, being silent for a moment as Kandy eyed her, also considering her words. "You've certainly made today…easier" finished Penny, hanging her head down. Her ears drooped somewhat, the realisation that she was now a dog coming over her once more.

Kandy noticed this, wrapping her arms around Penny before starting to stroke her. Penny's tail wagged in response to the affection, acting almost like a small feather duster. She couldn't help but 'smile' at the affection as her tongue lapped out.

"It's the least I could do…for doing this to you" replied Kandy, seeming unsure of herself. Penny noticed this, seeing Kandy's downtrodden state.

"She really is trying," thought Penny, shifting herself as she licked Kandy with her tongue. Kandy was surprised at the affection, taken aback before smiling in response. She tightened her hug around Penny, stroking her more as Penny's tail wagged faster and faster.

However, all good things must come to an end as Penny saw a small glowing light around Kandy's neck. She focused on it, seeing that the yellow crystal was glowing.

"Wait…does that mean…an artefact is nearby?" thought Penny, trying to recall the night before. She remembered Kandy giving her a yellow crystal to help…find the collar that was now around her neck.

"Kandy…why is your crystal glowing?" asked Penny, snapping Kandy out of her trance. She looked downwards, noticing the crystal was lightly glowing. The glow was weak but certainly present as Kandy's eyes widened.

"Oh…poppycock," said Kandy out loud, immediately standing up. Penny managed to keep to all fours, her eyes widened as the scenario was exactly as she feared.

"I hope it hasn't been activated yet…" thought Penny, noticing Kandy seemed to be holding back her panic. She noticed Kandy rubbing her purple crystal, summoning 'Broomey' as she picked up Penny.

"I figure you'd want some fresh air" explained Kandy, Penny nodding in response. It was then Penny realised she had been camped out in front of the television all day and…a flight out actually sounded nice. "I would also appreciate the second pair of eyes" continued Kandy, trying to hold back her panic as she grabbed her umbrella.

"It's ok Kandy…I'll come with you" replied Penny, noticing Kandy smile slightly as she was placed down on the bristles around the end of 'Broomey.' She still didn't understand why they were so comfortable but Penny paid no mind for now.

As the pair hovered into mid-flight, Kandy moved towards a nearby balcony. She waved her umbrella, the doors opening on her command as she flew out of them. Before she took off truly, Kandy reached into her bag, pulling out another yellow crystal which she quickly pushed into Penny's collar.

The contact caused the pair to begin to fuse, the magical properties of the crystal mixing in with the collar as Penny soon noticed that her collar was glowing.

"Ok, I need you to bark at me when your collar starts flashing more" explained Kandy, noticing Penny nodding in agreement. Kandy smiled slightly, then motioned for 'Broomey' to take off.

'Broomey' quickly picked up speed, Penny was surprised to find that she wasn't struggling to stay on at all. She shook her head, figuring that magic was likely the answer…but there would be plenty of time for questions later.

For now…they were on a hunt for an artefact.

Pressing Engagement:
The pair were still in flight, day turning into night as 'Broomey' had slowed down.

Penny yelped out, the glow around her collar glowing stronger than ever as Kandy nodded in thanks as the pair found themselves above a large field. At this, the pair looked downwards, trying to find any sight of Kandy's artefact.

"So…what exactly are we looking for?" asked Penny, her expression now sceptical as Kandy seemed to stop for a moment.

"Let me check," replied Kandy, reaching into her bag. She struggled around, picking out her enchanted scroll. She opened it up, beginning to look through it as Penny tilted her head in annoyance.

"And she couldn't have checked at home…why?" snarked Penny internally, keeping her feelings to herself. "I mean…it could've helped narrow the location down…potentially," thought Penny, shaking her head as Kandy turned back to face her.

"I've…I've found it," said Kandy uneasily, presenting her scroll to Penny. The text around one of the artefacts was flashing yellow, giving Penny the impression that this is what they were looking for:

'The Cowbell of Engagement'

Penny got a glance at the list, noticing many other artefacts whose names were not crossed off the list. She shook her head, trying not to comment.

"Wow…she seems to have lost a lot" though Penny, her inner voice was deadpan. She looked around, noticing the pair seemed to be getting closer to the ground. She noticed 'Broomey' was preparing to land as she hoped the damage hadn't already been done.

Unfortunately, given the sight of the nearby cow and bull. It appeared that that artefact had already been triggered.

"Oh darn…we're too late," said Kandy, eying the cattle as she looked down at the ground in annoyance.

Meanwhile, Penny approached the cattle, keeping her distance as she glanced at the pristine white cowbell around the cow's neck. She tilted her head curiously, noticing the white nose ring in the bull.

"So…what was this artefact supposed to do?" asked Penny, feeling confused about her predicament. After all, over a day ago she was convinced magic didn't exist…but was now encountering it firsthand.

"It was supposed to transform an engaged couple into cattle" replied Kandy, noticing Penny's expression changing from scepticism…to annoyance.

"Seriously?" said Penny, her head tilted in confusion. "What motivated you to even create something like this?" asked Penny, noticing Kandy's expression…meaning even she didn't know. This caused Penny's tail to thump against the ground, squinting her eyes into a glare. "I guess 'why' has never been a popular word in your vocabulary" snarked Penny, no longer able to hold back.

Kandy was silent, understanding of Penny's accusation. After all, it was true as Kandy stared back towards the recently transformed cattle. She was wondering what to do with them, dreading the obvious answer but finding herself with few choices.

"Kandy? Are you even listening?" asked Penny, struggling not to growl. "I mean what's next…a monkey's paw?" continued Penny, noticing Kandy was now facing her.

Which, gave Penny the realisation of just how small her new dog body was.

"Of course not," replied Kandy, struggling not to hold back an expression of disgust. "Monkey's paws are barbaric and cliche…not to mention how they produce them" continued Kandy, trying to hold back her stomach lurching. "I mean…they cut off the paws of an innocent little monkey and enchant them…that's why they're so vengeful" finished Kandy, noticing Penny was now in a state of shock.

"Wha…what?" said Penny, unable to hold back her disgust. "Why…why would someone do such a thing?" asked Penny, still in shock.

"Because…not everyone who has magic is a good person" replied Kandy, eyeing the cattle once more. She held out her umbrella, a small light coming from the tip as the cattle then appeared mesmerised by it. Penny eyed Kandy, struggling not to feel some sympathy.

"Do you consider yourself a good person?" asked Penny, sitting patiently on her haunches.

"I try…it just doesn't always work out" replied Kandy, pointing her umbrella to an open area. "Meanwhile, whilst we're on the topic of good people…we need to take our couple here somewhere they'll be safe" finished Kandy, smiling softly as she watched her spell come to life.

Penny watched as a purple gateway began to form. It grew larger and larger as she looked on in surprise. She was surprised as she saw what appeared to be the formation of a ranch showing up on the other side. She then turned to face Kandy tapping her umbrella against her head. She was even more confused as she noticed a purple pulsation emerge from Kandy's head.

"Kandy?" asked Penny, feeling concerned for the witch before her despite their earlier argument.

"I'm ok" replied Kandy, smiling weakly in an attempt to ease Penny's concerns. "I just needed to send a message ahead of time…prepare these two for arriving" added Kandy, then holding out her umbrella. A small light came from the tip as the cattle were directed through the portal, quickly vanishing into it.

"And now…it's our turn," said Kandy, walking forward as Penny did the same. Kandy then turned back to face 'Broomey'. "I'll summon you when I'm needed" added Kandy, rubbing her purple crystal as 'Broomey' hovered away.

Then, the pair walked through the portal together. Kandy dreaded the upcoming conversation, hoping her old friend would understand.

Especially since this wasn't the first time.

Rehabilitating at the Ranch:
The night was well underway as the Ranch was beginning to wrap up its affairs for the long day that had been ahead of them. It had been a rather busy day preparing for the harvest as everyone, animal and human alike, had been busy and were ready to get some rest…so they could do it all tomorrow.

Although tonight was to be a little different, tonight was the night of the annual bonfire towards the back of the Ranch…one that was hosted by Jezebelle herself.

Right now, however, instead of joining her fellow farmhands, Jezebelle was currently awaiting the arrival of her friend, Kandy. She shook her head, already anticipating a difficult conversation as she noticed a purple portal opening up not too far from her location.

"Ok…let's try and get through this as painlessly as possible," thought Jezebelle, noticing a pair of cattle walking through the portal first. She shook her head, noticing the new cow and bull who stared at her mindlessly.

"Guess these ones don't have their human minds…" mused Jezebelle internally, mentally preparing to have some time with these two. If she couldn't remove the artefact…the least she could do was bring back their memories.

Jezebelle looked up, noticing Kandy with a sheepish smile as Jezebelle couldn't help but glare. This wasn't the first time that this had happened, and Jezebelle struggled to be patient sometimes in her old age.

"Hello partner," said Jezebelle, trying her best to keep a smile. However, she couldn't help but have some of her irritation come into her voice. She gazed at the Samoyed next to Kandy, shaking her head. "Of course, there'd be another," thought Jezebelle, unable to stop herself from chuckling.

"Jezzy?" asked Kandy, eyeing her 'friend' with concern. At least, Kandy thought Jezebelle was her friend. "You ok partner?" asked Kandy, noticing Jezebelle's expression steel up. Kandy felt small as she noticed Jezebelle eyeing her like a parent disciplining her child.

Given their age difference, Jezebelle could've very easily been Kandy's mother.

"I'm ok partner" reassured Jezebelle, taking her attention off the cattle as she eyed Kandy. She could sense Kandy's nervousness as she took a deep breath. "It's just…we both know this isn't the first time" stated Jezebelle, noticing Kandy shy away from the accusation.

"I know…I know" replied Kandy, feeling small as she shied away from Jezebelle's gaze. Jezebelle noticed this, taking her attention away from Kandy for a moment as she turned her gaze towards Penny.

"Now look at you partner" said Jezebelle, eyeing Penny as she reached out a hand. She gazed at Penny, signalling if it was ok to stroke her. Penny nodded in response, allowing Jezebelle to stroke her head which, like the night before, ended with Penny's tail wagging eagerly.

"Nice to see you like that," said Jezebelle, her tone warm as she eyed Penny before taking a quick glance back at Kandy. "Now, I need to talk to Kandy privately so feel free to look around,'' continued Jezebelle, Penny realising the seriousness in Jezebelle's body language. "I have a few other dogs who would be interested in meeting you" finished Jezebelle, giving Penny her out as Penny took a moment to stare at Kandy.

"I…I just hope she's not too hard on Kandy" thought Penny, shaking her head as she wandered away. She walked further into the ranch, curious about what strange things she might encounter.

As Penny left the pair alone, Jezebelle turned back to face Kandy. She crossed her arms, giving the impression that she was disappointed as Kandy looked down towards the ground.

"Let me guess…another misplaced artefact?" asked Jezebelle, her tone stern but tired.

"I…I'm trying to find them Jezzy" defended Kandy weakly, taking a moment to eye Jezebelle before returning her gaze to the ground.

As Jezebelle stared at Kandy, she couldn't help but feel some pity for the witch before her. She rubbed her eyes, struggling to stay mad. "I know Kandy…but we can't keep doing this forever" replied Jezebelle, motioning back to the pair of cattle. "You need to stop being so careless partner…I don't want to be competing with Rebecca over her" continued Jezebelle, noticing Kandy perk up.

"Oh…how is Bex?" asked Kandy, immediately regretting the words once she saw Jezebelle's expression.

As much as Jezebelle wanted to blow up at Kandy, she held her tongue. After all, Kandy had always been like this…and Jezebelle knew Kandy was as much of a victim as all the other apprentices.

Except maybe Daniel…he seemed to be doing well for himself.

"I wouldn't know partner" replied Jezebelle, rubbing her eyes once more. "I haven't seen her in years…especially after what happened to my cousin" continued Jezebelle, noticing Kandy nod in understanding.

Kandy then looked at the ground, lost for words. She noticed Jezebelle's tired posture, and how she rubbed her eyes constantly. Everything about Jezebelle just seemed to indicate a woman who took on a lot more than most…and still managed to make the most of it.

"I'm…I'm sorry…for all…the trouble…I caused" stammered Kandy, tears threatening to escape her eyes. Jezebelle stared at her, unable to not feel sympathetic as she moved towards Kandy, pulling her into a hug.

"I know partner…I know" replied Jezebelle, rubbing Kandy's back. She soothed the girl before her as she felt a small strain in her wrist. She paid it no mind, however, focusing on Kandy.

As the pair broke their embrace, Kandy eyed Jezebelle with a concerned expression.

"How…how have you been? Health wise I mean?" asked Kandy, noticing Jezebelle's tiredness as she rubbed her eyes once more.

"I've…I've felt better" admitted Jezebelle, feeling her guard slipping in front of her friend. "I'm just getting old…too old" continued Jezebelle, thinking back to Rebecca before quickly dismissing the thought.

"I guess you're still preparing Tucker?" asked Kandy, her expression curious.

"Yes…but I have a few things I need to sort out first" replied Jezebelle, eyeing Kandy. "Please don't tell him just yet…the Ranch isn't ready to be given to him yet" continued Jezebelle, noticing Kandy nod in understanding.

"Well…I guess me and Penny should get going," said Kandy, about to signal 'Broomey' when she turned back to Jezebelle. "After all, I have work in the morning…" finished Kandy, noticing Jezebelle seemed to be unsure of something. "What is it?" asked Kandy, her expression curious as she turned back to face Jezebelle.

"You know you don't need our master's approval..right?" asked Jezebelle, her tone serious.

"Of course…still, it would be nice to have" admitted Kandy, feeling unsure about the night before but choosing not to focus on it. She looked down at the ground again, taking a moment before clutching the purple crystal around her neck.

"Wait…Kandy, why don't you stick around for the bonfire?" offered Jezebelle, noticing Kandy perk up. "I mean…your new partner should be given a chance to see how we see the world" reasoned Jezebelle, noticing Kandy nod with approval. "Excellent, there's always room for one more" finished Jezebelle, motioning for Kandy to follow her.

Jezebelle raised her hand, her magic motioning for the pair of cattle to follow as she planned to make a detour to the barn before heading towards the bonfire.

"After all…Jasmine could do with some more company" thought Jezebelle, chuckling internally as she couldn't help but smile. To her credit, Jasmine had been better behaved since her talk with Olivia…it was nice to see her hard work appearing to be paying off.

As Jezebelle turned to look back at Kandy, she was also happy to be in the company of a good friend. One that was genuinely trying to be better which, perhaps her new partner could be of assistance in, supporting Kandy to mature into someone less careless.

"Still…it's nice that she's here," thought Jezebelle, feeling a small sense of worry for the approaching bonfire.

After all, it had been an interesting year…and Jezebelle was expecting many uncomfortable questions tonight.
