Reginleif tossed her hair over her shoulder, heading towards the beach so her bikini was under her loose clothes. As she did so, something caught her eye, a little store just off the main street she'd never seen before. Of course, being such a Curious Lady, she decided to investigate it. The store would be titled "Patricia's Potions" and inside there didn't appear to be anymore, but there was multiple colored liquids in beakers and bottles.
Never seen an ad for this place, the blonde thought, picking up one of the vials filled with a purple potion. "Hello?" She called out, curious to start asking questions.
"Coming! Just...one...second!" A woman's voice called out to her, sounding like she was struggling with something and there was a loud pop. "Uh..." her voice muttered.
"Hey," Reginleif replied heading over to the counter, still holding a vial. Her own viridian eyes lift up, meeting the beautiful emerald eyes of a pink weasel. "O-Oh Hi?" She hadn't seen anyone like her before.
"Nothing was broken, don't worry about it!" She said back with a nervous chucked, tossing what looked like a pipe through a doorway with a curtain on it, "Employees Only" on it. "Hello." She said ignoring what had just happened with a small bow.
Reginleif's distracted, the weasel is adorable. "H-Hi, sorry, I've never seen a shop like this before," She says with a smile, holding up the vial. "Or your shop, fist time customer then? Are you normally this...Empty?"
"Only one person is in here at a time for some reason." She paused for a moment. "Usually a lot of people come in a day but no one ever shoes up until the last one leaves."
"Huh, strange business practice," Reginleif sets the vial down, leaning towards the weasel, "So...Got any recommendations for what I should find here~?"
"Me, for one" the woman replied. "Cause I both work here and own the place. Also I sell potions of the transformative nature."
"Nice to meet you, you must be the Patricia then?" Reginleif smiled, toying with the potion she'd picked up, "So, when you say Transformative, you mean like, into something as cute as you?" It'd been a long time since she'd tried flirting, but she couldn't resist.
She looked down at her apron, the words "Patricia's across the chest in white. "Yup! That's me!" She added looking back up at Reginleif. "Don't know what you mean by that last part though"
"Well, I mean, becoming fluffy and stuff," her smile grew a little awkward, "Like you, because, you're rather cute." She blushed, growing more and more embarrassed.
"It's possible to become like me yes." Patricia replied. "Still don't know what you mean entirely though." She shook her head, the flirtation going right over her.
"Well, if that's a thing? I think I'd like being Cute like you~" She flipped the potion up into her hand, "Would...This one be what I'd want then? Or...Do I need a few?"
"Well what you have in your hand there is Gatorade." She replied. "People assume potions are colorful and it's more appealing to the eye."
She blushed deeper, setting it down. "W-W-Well! It..." She laughed nervously, "Well, I guess maybe you might need to help me?"
"Probably unless you knew how to make all this, which if you do..." she leaned in for a whisper, "Please don't tell anyone if you do."
Reginleif laughed a little, "I have no idea what any of this is, though I wouldn't mind a little education from you~"
"Well, it's kind of an employees only thing for now." She replied. "Cause you know...that's how I get employees."
"Of course, yeah," Another little flirt shut down, she looked around nervously. "Well, guess I'll have to start learning then~ Anything to spend time around such a cool gal like you"
"I thought I was supposed to be cute? You're really indecisive." Patricia answered. "We offer various times potions. Hour, day, week, month, and permanent. Between to price of range of $10-$50."
The deep blush seems to get deeper still! "You can be Cute and Cool!" Reginleif said bluntly, before pausing. "So...You'd take on someone like me? F-For a bit at least?"
"We'll see. Depends on how all this goes usually." Patricia shrugged. "How long of a potion did you want?"
"Hm...If it makes me cute like you? I think I'd be fine staying like that forever," Reginleif said, a small tremor of nerves running through her, but it is far too interesting and exciting to not want to go all in for.
"In that case it'd be $50 and a few signatures on waivers. Liability, blah blah blah. All that kind of boring stuff. It's just to keep me safe."
Reginleif nodded, "Of course, I have no problem with that," She said, whipping out her wallet from her purse, 50$ was nothing!
Patricia took the cash and stuffs it away in a pocket, pulling out a napkin with words on it. "I didn't actually have time to get more waivers, so I wrote it on this. Maybe later I can get a more official looking one."
Reginl laughed, writing out her name in the appropriate spots, "This is Fine~ Guess you're pretty popular then~"
"No, I just forgot to make copies and had my only one signed. Can't really copy it anymore." Patricia shrugged.
"Oooh, okay," Reginl leaned back, relaxing as much as possible after making a big decision. "S-So, where are the, ah, potions?"
"They are all made to order. If they aren't then they taste like melted chocolate with flies in them. So not too unlike real chocolate..."
"With flies? Well, guess we all need to get protein somehow," Reginleif fidgeted a little, "I guess we have to get this ordered then?"
"They just taste like that if they're left out too long. Fresh ones generally taste like green apples, namely because that's what makes it permanent."
"Green apples? Huh, I was expecting like, eye of newt? First lesson in Potion making!" She laughed cheerfully, setting down the vial of Gatorade. "R-Ready for this~?"
"I hope so because I have to make it." Patricia responded. "I don't normally do this but I'll let you see how it's done, considering it looks like you want to be an employee."
Reginleif can't hold back an excited giggle! She's already getting a 'private lesson' with Patricia. "So, should I, ah, Join you in the back~?"
"Normally no because of the policy, so hurry before my boss comes." She whispered to her. "I hear she can be a bit crazy."
Reginleif eagerly follows Patricia into the back, "W-Well, if I'm with you I'm sure this'll work out fine?"
"The boss made a special exception for you." She said back to Reginleif. "Basically it's a bunch of common things in one big mush."
"Thanks Patricia, this...I've never really done anything as awesome as this!" Reginleif is practically clapping with excitement, standing right behind her.
Patricia began tossing in ingredients such as cinnamon, the aforementioned green apples, water, and a few others before the concoction was done and blended.
Reginleif watched eagerly, it's simple, and the ingredients are quite mundane mostly. It seems impossible it could do anything, which makes it all the more intriguing.
"Alright all done." Patricia said pouring the liquid into a cup. However fast you drink it is as fast as the transformation will go." She explained, handing her the cup.
Reginleif nodded, looking at the potion. Patricia was right, it is a lot duller looking than the decorative Gatorade out front. She take a sip, finding the flavour not to be too disagreeable before slowly drinking it down. If she was going to change? She wanted to enoy it.
As she drank it, black fur began to grow over her face, with white fur going down her body. Reginleif's face pushed out into a cute little muzzle while her nose became small and pink at the tip of it. She set the glass down, simultaneously reaching up and feeling her cute little nose. It's a bit damp, like any healthy animal's should be, she can hardly believe the fur she's now feeling beneath her fingers is hers.
"How do I look? Cute like you?" She asked, feeling her snout, not noticing her ears perking up next as the changes continue.
"You know you keep seeing that? Favorite sentence?" Patricia asked innocently, and seemingly genuinely.
Meanwhile Reginleif's hair shortened quite a bit, becoming a bit on the shaggy side as it turned a white color. On top of that her shoulders built up a bit more mass to them, giving her a broader look. Her arms also became bulkier than before and her hands just a bit larger.
"Heh, I guess?" She said, her voice is sounding deeper. "I mean, you're really cute, you know that?" She smiled at the PotionMaker, "I've never seen anyone as cute as you" She leaned towards the weasel, her shirt ripping a little at her muscle growth.
"I can gather that. You've said it like 7 times already." Patricia commented casually. "Seems like you really want me to know that."
Reginleif's chest seemed to deflate as her breasts became flat with her body. Some muscles taking their place. On top of that her waist pushed outward while her back filled out. Her hips and rear both became less pronounced as well, taking her hourglass figure away from her.
She turned away, "I'd love to get to know you more!" She said, though at this point he is far more appropriate. Her female attributes are gone, more manly ones growing in their place. His clothes were looking VERY out of place on him, especially the bikini top peaking through his ripped shirt.
"You pretty much know all about me." she shrugged. "The weasel part people are usually weird about for some reason...oddly enough your thing has been constantly calling me cute. Also that bikini your wearing is probably pretty useless from here on out."
His spine felt like it was growing longer as a tail elongated from behind him, becoming quite big and quite soft and very fluffy. Reginleif's shapely legs became much more broader as his feet turned into a set of paws, legs turning digitgrade as the changes seemed to end.
"Oh, right," Reginleif took off his shirt, removing his bikini...And then realizing just how strong he's become...Just like the guys he enjoyed peeking at on the beach. "W-When did this happen?" He asked, touching his rather firm abdominal area.
"And hey, just because you're a Weasel, doesn't mean you aren't the cutest girl in town." He winkeds, getting over the gender change quickly.
"I think I got the gist of the cute thing." Patricia chuckled it off. "Came out nicely though. I somewhat forgot to ask what sex you wanted to end up being so I just went male because I never get to turn girls into guys. I wanted to see it for once!"
"No problems here," Reginleif laughs, a deep, belly laugh. "I don't think I mind being your guinea pig!"
"Your not a guinea pig though you're a skunk." Patricia replied with a tilted head of confusion.
He laughed, "You're great Pat, in every way~" he pated her shoulder affectionately, before pausing. "Um...Is there any...Spare clothes here? Mine are a little...Small."
"My name's not Pat, that's a man's name." Patricia replied and shrugged it off. "I do yeah. I don't have a lot of male clothes though. Most people end up as girls."
"Maybe something big?" His smiled a bit nervous looking, "Even just a big skirt or dress, I don't wanna accidentally show off too much next I head out, y'know?"
"I might of misspoke, I do have some male clothes. Easily enough to get you going until you buy new clothes. Unless you want to wear dresses, I don't judge."
"Oh, thanks! I think I'll try and stick to some manlier clothes for now, not that I mind dresses~" Thoughts of what to do with his new body start surfacing in his mind...He had always liked seeing attractive guys surfing, why not spread the joy? Though, with his tail getting wet...He might just look silly, either way he'd have fun. "So...You do think I could stick around some? Work with you maybe?~"
"Your in the employees only area aren't you?" Patricia said with a smirk. "Welcome aboard. Probably won't start with potions though. Maybe...Gatorade stocker?"
Reginleif bows, "As you Wish~" That couldn't be hard.
"Great! Welcome to the Patricia's team...I don't think I ever got your name?"
"Reginleif, Leif for short," He said, extending his hand. "An honor to be working with you~"
Patricia shakes his hand as well. "I know."
