Lance

I woke up to a certain devil noisily slurping coffee from across the room, seeming to make as much noise as he possibly could. Making a face at me when I lifted my head from my pillow to glare at him, Keith made a point of continuing his obnoxious slurping.

"What time is it?" I mumbled. I felt something on my back twitch and realized that my wings had come loose sometime in the night. They lay against my back comfortably as I rested on my stomach.

"6:30," Keith replied smugly, slurping again. I guessed it was espresso.

Groaning, I flopped back down onto my pillow. "It's too early for this shit, devil!" My voice was muffled.

"You hogged the bathroom last night," he commented as if that made a difference.

I didn't reply. Why did Keith have to wake up so early? Was it a devil thing? Did he just naturally wake up unnecessarily early, or was he doing it to piss me off? I'd never know.

Yawning loudly, I slouched out of bed. My wings trailed behind me as I slumped to the bathroom to freshen up and Keith grunted when I passed by the little table he sat at. "Put on a shirt, no one wants to see your try-hard excuses for abs.

"Oh, yeah?" I replied absently, eyeing his bare chest. Like he had abs. His posture was so terrible, you'd never be able to tell.

The brightness of the cleanly bathroom hurt my early eyes, but I forced myself to wake up little by little, eventually gathering the strength to retract my wings and splash some cold water on my face.

"It's gonna be upper-sixties today, what do you want to wear?" I called to Keith, thinking to myself about what I could wear.

"I get to choose now?" he called back, and I half-smiled. The pink unicorn pajamas had been a nice touch.

"You want me to pick for you again?" I asked, materializing high-waisted shorts and a long-sleeved bodysuit. I dressed quickly, pulling on high boots as well. Might as well be stylish. On second thought, maybe I should just go full feminine. It wouldn't hurt, and Keith definitely wasn't allowed to judge me.

I felt a little giddy at the idea... I liked having long hair and a curvy figure, but it could look a little odd if I did it wrong and it took a lot of Energy. Oh well. That's what coffee's for.

Focusing on my physical form, I gently tugged forward a more feminine body structure- curving my hips, letting in my waist, growing longer and longer hair until it fell down my back past my shoulders blades. Feeling a bit faint, I leaned against the cool bathroom counter, sighing in relief as everything fell into place. Smiling at myself, I nodded once. Perfect.

Stepping out of the bathroom, I winced as Keith glanced up at me then did a double-take, scowling. "What the fuck? Halohead?"

"Still me," I answered, trying my best to act normal as I poured myself a cup of coffee from the kettle that room service had brought. My hair fell down like a curtain, blocking Keith's view of my face as I leaned over the table, biting my lip nervously.

"What did you do?" the devil asked when I straightened, bringing the steaming coffee to my lips.

"I'm Lance's twin sister, Mance," I replied airily, and his horns sprouted from his forehead. I squinted. That had to be painful.

"No, seriously. How did you do that?"

"Can't you?"

Keith stood, revealing the fact that he actually did have abs. Nice ones too. The tip of his tail flicked in annoyance at my passiveness.
