Sounds good to me. Still drafting for Part 6, it probably won’t go up until tomorrow. It turned into a big one with a really significant development, but I might snip that part off and save it for the Monday storyline.
Again, this has been a really engaging bit of cooperative challenge. Thanks for playing along!
[ METAGAMING REMOVED ]
A knock on the door. Lexi put her clipboard down and strode to the front desk. She hit the button that raised the protective steel screen over the front door, but left the window shutters locked. She didn’t feel like being in public after her involuntary growth spurt, but Lexi had to know if her own mother would notice something the store did to her and react for once. Adjusting her purple mane to partially cover her bulging cleavage, Lexi went over and unlocked the door, letting her mom in to drop off the overnight supplies. She greeted her mother, took the bundle of food and sleeping gear, thanked her, and (as nonchalantly as possible) brushed aside her long hair, exposing the mysterious augmentation of her bust.
Exhausted physically, mentally, and emotionally from the longest day of her life (so far), Lexi gave up her attempt to masturbate in frustration with herself. Instead, she slumped further down onto the sofa and began to dream. Unfortunately for her, without something like a Happy Nap Hammock to guarantee gratifying dreams, her overstressed psyche decided to attempt unpacking all her recent experiences at once.
“These would draw a lot of compliments,” she smiled. She hoped someone would tell her they were pretty. “Pretty titties,” she said. The silly rhyme caused her to giggle, and she joined the chorus of giggles in the air around her as the outsized orbs lifted her up to her feet. She laughed so hard, her still-growing breasts started to bounce. Their building momentum soon pulled her up and she tumbled backwards- flipping- spinning- whirling- caught up in a cyclone of old clothing. Dorothy in the tornado, she thought. But where would she land if-
“Hey, mom?” she asked. “Why’d you snap at me for suddenly getting big boobs if you have them, too?” But her mother just stared into the distance, taking in the view, without acknowledging her daughter’s presence.
Then Lexi realized what was wrong. Her mom… this wasn’t her mom, even though she knew it was. Her mom was human. Her mom wasn’t busty. Her mom wouldn’t be-
“Hey, Mrs. Alverson!” a familiar voice called out, causing the pony-human hybrid on the bench to wave. Lexi turned to see Darius, 14 years old with dark skin and short-cropped curly hair like when they’d met at their first year of boarding school, running up to the “mom” on the bench. “Can A̴̟̞̽͠l̵̢͕͙̓͌e̸͖̼̓͒̿͜x̵̡͇̔͒͝ come over to play video games today?”
“I’m sorry, sweetie,” the horse-mom said. “A̴̟̞̽͠l̵̢͕͙̓͌e̸͖̼̓͒̿͜x̵̡͇̔͒͝ is working today.” Lexi couldn’t catch who they were talking about, but it sounded like her. She perked her ears up to try and catch that name again. But the harder she listened, the more it seemed like their voices sank into a whisper. She started moving in to get closer, when something yanked her backwards by the neck. She sprawled out, being pulled away from her mom and best bro. A collar. A leash. It was reeling her away from them and into something she didn’t like. A rave of neon in white, magenta, and blue.
She paused for a moment, trying to pull memories from her dream last night… but it was already a blur. All she knew was that she hated her boss, she hated this job, she hated her life, and she was going to quit soon. Better to face the legal consequences of shoplifting instead. Just as soon as she could earn her original name back. That meant keeping her head down until Monday.
