"Thanks..." Mitch's speech already becoming slurred by sleep as he dropped his head against the seat, allowing his body to finally relax and fall into a deep rest.

Avi gave a soft smile, feeling bad that he had purposely spiked Mitch's coffee that morning with Ambien in order to make him sleep after the caffeine had worn off, but he knew it was for the best. He made a quick mental note to apologise to him later, but right now, he had bigger problems.

He could already feel the soft prickling sensation on his skin as the fur spread across his belly and around and up his back. A soft tingling feeling was present on his stomach, as well as a harsh feeling of dread.

"Kind of starting to regret wearing my jeans..." Avi commented, looking underneath the edge of his T-shirt, seeing a swath of deep-green fur growing fast down his arm.

Kevin chuckled, "Oh well, not much we can do now," he shrugged before continuing, "Though, is it insane for me to say that I kind of like being a pony," Kevin glanced around, seeing Kirstie and Scott raise an eyebrow accusingly at him, "Just me?"

"Depends," Avi replied with a chuckle for a moment, before his face fell. Brushing his hair out of his eyes, already telling it was somewhat longer than usual, and delivered a small frown to his friend as he continued, "Though the fur is disconcerting, to say the least."

"Well, it's not like we have a say, but I dunno," Kirstie admired, flexing her hand which had just been covered in a light pink fur, and was beginning to spread up her arm, "I like it, it's cute, but then again, I'm not sure if your dark green is as cute as my pink though," she continued, sticking her tongue out, pink fur spreading above the collar of her shirt and up the side of her head.

"Kirstie, you have to turn everything into a joke!" Scott shook his head gently, pausing to check if Mitch was alright, before turning back and giving a silly grin, "Though your fur is kind of cute, especially those ears!"

Pausing for a moment, she rubbed the side of her head, feeling where her ears should have been, and colour started draining from her face. She gently reached to the top of her head, until her hand met with soft, fluffy pony ears, and quickly dismissed her fears, "Yeah, I guess they would be cute!" she gave her adorable smile and flicked her newly attained ears forward.

Avi couldn't help but release a tiny "D'aaw", and all of them turned to face him, each of them raising an eyebrow, while Kirstie was barely containing her laughter, "I-I mean... um... cute, I guess."

"Avi, looks tough as nails, but is as sensitive as a new-born kitten," Kevin chuckled, giving him a playful shove, making Avi's cheeks turn a rosy-red colour underneath a coating of green fur, forcing the other two to burst into laughter.

"That's a cute shade of red there, Avi!" Scott choked through his fits of laughter, making him turn an even further red. Rubbing his face, Avi did his best to be rid of the red colour, and quickly, his embarrassment subsided and everyone's laughter died down, and silence ensued for a few minutes, with everyone glancing around awkwardly.

"So...” Avi began, rubbing the back of his neck with his hand, the awkward silence becoming too much for him to bear.

"So..." Kevin repeated after him, and gave Avi a challenging glance, narrowing his eyes.

"So."

"So."

"So-"

"So will you please shut up?" Scott hissed with irritation, forcing the others to try to suppress a giggle or two.

Avi forced a small smile, and shifted his legs slightly, feeling the tops of his legs begin to swell up, and he knew it was only a matter of time before his jeans gave way. He had completely forgotten to wear something loose and expandable for his trousers, since the tops of his legs had to expand quite a bit to form flanks, and instead, he wore his least favourite jeans.

'At least I don't have to suffer through losing my favourite jeans and embarrassment... I'll just have to suffer embarrassment...' he gulped, and shifted his legs again, already feeling the jeans beginning to show signs of strain.

"So... um..." Avi started again, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Don't start again..." Scott warned in a semi-serious tone, which he couldn't tell if he was trying to be humorous or not, so he decided to keep quiet for a few moments.

" Hey, Avi..." his newly attained pony ears quickly swivelled around as he heard a small whisper beside him.

"Yeah?" he asked, turning to face Kevin, flinching slightly as he instantly noted his friend's entire body coated in navy blue fur, with two large ears protruding out of the top of his head.

"What food should we get when we land?"

Avi gave a soft chuckle, "Of course you'd ask tha-" Avi's soft whisper was cut short by a rather loud 'Vvvvvvvvvrip!' as his jeans finally gave way, and tore along the seams. 'Oh no...' he thought, his stomach instantly turning to a ball of ice, and his face turned to the heat of flames as everyone turned to face him. Giving a sheepish grin, and avoided eye contact with any of them, and shifted his legs again. Seeing as nothing was holding them back anymore, they swelled up profusely, which didn't help the situation.

"Uh, Avi, what was that?" Scott asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

Closing his eyes tight, Avi just wanted the world to delete itself right there and then, instead of letting him suffer this agonising awkwardness and embarrassment.

"It was just his jeans. He forgot to wear something loose, is all," Kevin answered nonchalantly for him.

"Silly Avi!" Kirstie giggled softly, but not in a demeaning way.

He looked down to the strips of torn denim loosely attached by his belt, along with his newly formed flanks, and lifted his hand up, and promptly face-palmed, 'How could I have been so stupid!' he scolded himself mentally, gritting his teeth at his own forgetfulness.

"Don't worry about it, seriously," Kevin reassured him with a short smile, before continuing, "Anyway, how's Mitch doing?"

Scott gently looked over to Mitch, seeing what had become of him, "He's fine, but I don't think he'd appreciate it if his shirt was ruined."

"Well... I guess we're all friends here so..." Kevin began, and Scott gave him a surprised face, "What? It was you who said he'd be upset."

Scott gave a soft sigh, "I guess," before turning to Mitch, and began undoing the buttons on his shirt, and slipping it off, showing his entire body covered in tan fur. He proceeded to remove his own shirt, and paused for a moment, before putting his and his friend's shirts away in a bag. He released a long sigh, staring at the light blue fur which covered his own body, and putting his head in his hands.

"What's wrong?" Kirstie asked, giving a small, curious frown.

"It's just... " Scott released a long, weary sigh, fear obvious in his tone, "... I'm scared, is all. I mean, these changes are happening so quickly, maybe even faster than last time. I mean, look at you Kirstie, you got entirely covered in fur, and got ears all within two minutes!"

Dropping her ears, Kirstie looked away and studied the thought, "I guess... but..." she couldn't find light in this situation, so she found it best just to remain silent.

Silence filled the plane as the four were left with their thoughts. Avi shifted his legs again, a soft pain beginning to rise from his knees, and he noticed Kevin had a horrified look on his face as he stared towards his legs, "What?"

"Your legs..." he simply replied, and Avi looked down to face them, and he noticed they were heavily bowed backwards.

"Oh, dear," he said simply, before a violent 'Crack!' sounded from his left leg, and it snapped violently backwards, with the newly splintered bones of his legs hitting off the flooring, forcing him to release a loud screech of agony.

"Avi!" the other three shouted in unison, as they looked towards their friend gasping for air, leaning heavily against Kevin's shoulder, "Avi, are you alright?!"

He remained still for a moment, his eyes half closed, gasping for precious air, forcing the others start to panicking, "Avi?! Are you alright?! Speak to us!" Kevin exclaimed through his panic, trying to remain as calm as possible. Gently brushing his hand through Avi's hair, Kevin did his best to try and comfort him, but he knew it would be only a matter of time before-

'Crack!'

Violently gritting his teeth through the pain, Avi tried his best to remain conscious, as the entire world spiralled around him, and a black ocean behind his eyes threatened to drown him.

"Avi!" the faint calls of his friends became more and more distant to him. 'I have to stay conscious... I have to stay conscious... I have to stay conscious...' he repeated over and over in his head, desperately trying to keep his eyes open and his brain functioning. 'Think of how worried they'll be... Think of how much they'll worry over you...'

Desperately trying to pull himself out of the depths, he noticed the others crowding around him, their eyes full of panic and alarm. And with one final push, he reconnected himself to the outside world.

"I-I'm fine guys... I really am..." he muttered, blinking his eyes several times as the last of the darkness was expelled.

"Avi!" Kevin pulled him into a tight hug, feeling the soft trickle of his tears drip onto his shoulder, "I was so terrified! I thought I was going to lose you!"

"I'm fine, Kevin, look, I'm fine," Avi stammered desperately, his arms coiling around his best friend in order to return the hug and remained that way for a few moments, before releasing from each other. The other two returned to their seats, both releasing an inward sigh of relief for their friend.

Glancing down to his newly formed legs, Avi noted the new muscle that was forming around the new joint, a dark brown tail already beginning to grow. 'I guess I'm not going to be walking for a while...' he thought, carefully removing his socks and shoes, revealing that his feet were replaced by large, sturdy hooves, forcing a shiver to run down his spine. Taking proper notice of his tail, he noticed it was almost at full length already, with the same thick colour as his own hair, and seemed to curl slightly at the end. He flinched as his hand gently touched the tail, but slowly began to gently weave his fingers through the long, soft hairs. Silence remained between them all for a few moments, before Scott gave a deep sigh, and sat back on his seat.

"My turn next, eh?" he gave a slight chuckle, prompting Kirstie to quickly turn to him, her eyes filled with concern and fear. She gently knelt down, and placed her hand on his shoulder. A few moments of tenseness later, and there was a loud 'Snap!' that sounded through the air, forcing everyone to flinch, with Scott gritting his teeth and grinding his nails against his seat.

"Scott, are you alright?" Avi called over to him, tilting his head to try and see him.

"Never better," he replied sarcastically, gritting his teeth as the pain slowly subsided, only to be followed by another loud 'Snap!', "God, feels like someone just snapped my legs in half!" he snarled though his pain, before releasing a soft sigh once it had declined.

Kirstie sighed, half with relief, half with dread, and heaved her legs as she tried to stand up, but seemed to be unable to. Scott desperately stood up on his new legs, the muscles already beginning to thickly grow around the new joints. With one hand on the chair, the other hand he used to hold Kirstie's hand, and helped her to stand up, "Thanks..." she muttered as Scott guided her back to her seat. Once he made sure she was comfortable, Scott held her hand, and gently rubbed the back of it as tears streamed down Kirstie's face, desperately trying to keep her legs from breaking, but ever so slowly, they stretched out.

'Kirstie....' Avi thought, as he watched as his friend cried from fear, 'Only if there were something I could do...' suddenly, his thoughts were taken away, as pressure was placed on his shoulder, 'Kevin!'

He quickly turned to see Kevin's eyes desperately clenched shut, along with his jaw. Panic shot through his system as Avi raked his brain for any ideas of what to do.

Unfortunately, nothing came to mind, and by the time he had thought of something, it was already too late. 'Snap!' Desperately trying to comfort his pained friend, Avi gently rubbed Kevin's back. 'Snap!' Avi flinched as the other crack sounded, and Kevin dropped his head backwards, gritting his teeth viciously as pain shot through his system. 'So much for the land of friendship...' Avi thought guiltily, dropping his head down in shame as he heard the two 'Snap!'s coming from Kirstie, as well as her agonised cry of pain.

"Kirstie... Kevin...." he muttered guiltily, feeling as though it was his fault they were hurt.

Silence weaved its way in-between them all once more, and a few minutes passed, "Um, Scott?" Avi began, shattering the silence, and making everyone turn to him.

"Yeah?"

"What about Mitch?"

Scott's face dropped and turned pure white. He turned to his friend, confusion filling him as he realised the joint had already formed, "Wait, what the- oh, never mind. If he's still asleep, that's fine..."

Avi sighed gently, removing his shirt just on time to see his own carcass reform. His stomach was heavily distended, making him wonder how he didn't notice it earlier, and began spreading upwards through his ribs. Each rib that broke and moulded back together protruded quite a bit further than the previous ones. Though the loud cracks each brought an intense pain to his chest, he did his best to try and ignore them, though the others did not seem to act so unconcerned. With every snap which echoed from his chest, the others flinched and stole a worried glance towards him.

"Yeesh, doesn't that hurt?" Scott asked as another one of his ribs fractured and reformed.

"Not too much... surprisingly..." Avi replied with a weak voice, the sudden jolts of pain leaving him constantly winded.

"You're not convincing me," Kevin retorted, gently placing a hand on Avi's side, and feeling a rib splinter under the soft flesh and mould back together again, much larger and stronger than the bone before. However, before long, it began occurring to his own rib cage, forcing him to cross his arms across his chest, "Ow!" He wailed, leaning backwards.

Before long, the pain subsided, and the changes seemed to continue up his body. He was suddenly aware of a soft tingling in his shoulders as they became more broad and muscular. Kirstie's body, however, seemed to almost reject the changes, convulsing with every sickening crack of her ribs, but luckily, Scott was there to try and soothe her unbearable pain.

"It's okay, Kirst, it'll be over soon..." he whispered gently into her ear as he hugged her tightly and soothing her when her next rib broke, with her head leaning heavily on his chest. Scott seemed to be so caught up with concern for his friend, he seemed entirely unresponsive to his own breaking bones, "It's okay..." he muttered, gently rubbing her back as more of her ribs broke, and her entire body released another series of spasms and shudders, her face chalk-white under her fur and her eyes clouded with weariness.

After a few moments, their pain ebbed, and Kirstie and Scott returned to their seats. Colour began returning to her face, and she returned to her normal self in a few moments, reassuring them with a big, bubbly smile, before releasing a loud yawn.

Another short silence coiled between them as Avi felt his face reshape as his jaw extended into a muzzle, gritting his teeth and keeping his eyes tightly shut as pain shot through his skull. A moment later and he opened his eyes again, noticing everything seemed to be in a much clearer detail. 'Guess it did something with my eyes as well...' he thought, blinking several times to get used to the new changes to his eyes.

Closing his eyes and dropping his head backwards, Avi took a deep breath, attempting to dismiss a short wave of nausea which hit him, "Some hour this has been! I think this was even more chaotic than last time."

"Nah, did you forget that scream Kirstie had when she first got her fur!" Kevin laughed, "Or when Scott first noticed his ears! That was hilarious!"

"Don't forget the first time you reacted to your fur!" Scott reminded Kevin, leaning backwards and placing his coiled fists onto the corner of his seat. Avi couldn't help but release a soft chuckle, "Avi, don't think I'll leave you alone! Remember how you reacted to your hands turning into hooves!" Scott giggled, pointing an accusing finger at him.

"Hey!" Avi started, but couldn't help but burst out laughing, and quickly everyone was reduced to giggling messes. Lifting up his hand, he wiped the tears from his eyes, "Oh..." Avi breathed, his arm across his chest, "Ow, my chest!" desperately trying not to laugh, he took a few deep breaths and calmed down.

"Haven't laughed like that for years!" Scott breathed desperately, "Let's just hope we haven't lost our voices for the show! Otherwise we would have wasted a trip for nothing!"

"Oh well..." Avi chuckled, looking at his nails. He noticed they were a deep green colour, darker than his fur, and were slowly starting to fuse together, but right now, he didn't care, he was having fun with his friends, "Worth it!" he chanted, thrusting his fist into the air.

"Yeah!" the other chorused, and a mischievous grin crept across Scott's face, "Yeeeeeeaaaah!~" he sang in the highest tone he could muster up in an attempt to copy Mitch, making the others burst into laughter again.

A few moments later, and the laughter died down once again, leaving Avi with a small question in his head, which quickly devoured all of his other thoughts, "Hey, Scott, can I borrow your mirror please, just for a moment?" Avi asked, attempting to be as nonchalant as possible as curiosity burned through him to see what his new face looked like. He wondered why they didn't use their phones, but then he remembered there was a strict policy of no electronic devices, and the reason for this still baffled even him.

"Oh, sure, one sec," Scott turned his pockets inside out, and Avi noticed he was beginning to struggle with using his fingers, "Urg, where is it... where is it... where is it... Aha! Here it is!" Twisting around to face him again, Scott gently held out his small hand-held mirror.

"Thanks," Avi gently reached out and grabbed the mirror and opened it up, and stared into it, which was a bit of a challenge, seeing as his fingers wouldn't respond much like they used to. 'Good to know my beard is still here.' he thought, giving a short, approving smile. He also noticed his muzzle was a lot larger than he expected, with his beard reaching along it and upwards to his long mane.

As he admired his looks, he noticed two small horns growing on his head, and two small fangs in his top and bottom jaw, 'This didn't happen last time! How much cooler could this place get?!' Suddenly, a great notion entered his head, 'If I'm, like, a drago-pony or something, does that mean I have...' twisting his head back, he noticed two large strips of flesh extending from his back, with short, rigid bones suspending the flesh between them, 'Yes!' his brain began to have a small, mental party and a huge grin spread across his face.

"Uh, Avi? Can you stop admiring your looks for a few minutes? I want to see what I look like!" Scott laughed, holding his hand. Lowering the mirror and giving his classic super-frown, he handed the mirror back to Scott. Keeping on his frown, he brushed his hand through his mane, allowing his hair to slip through what remains of fingers he had left.

"Will you stop acting like such a girl?" Kevin looked at him, and playfully shook his head slowly.

"You're just jealous of my gorgeous mane!" Avi taunted, tossing his head back and flicking his hair at him.

"Children, please!" Kirstie chirped in, laying her chin on her new hooves and stared over to them, with a set of wings bursting from her back, causing her to flinch slightly, but she did her best to brush it off.

"You have no right to speak, Kirstie!" Avi shouted, pointing directly at her, but she simply replied by sticking out her tongue.

"Also, how come you get hooves first, and we get stuck with finger-hoof hybrid-thingies!" Scott demanded, giving a slightly huffy face, before returning to his mirror, staring at a small lump forming on his forehead, which was quickly growing into a horn.

Everyone took a moment just to recognise their new body, with everyone remaining eerily calm for some reason. A shiver ran down his spine as he watched as the last of his former hands moulded into hooves. Avi gently pushed himself up, and dropped onto four legs, with the strangely satisfying clop of his hooves against the flooring.

Wobbling for a moment, before regaining balance, Avi twisted his head back, and gazed at his now equine body. Another shiver of uneasiness passed through him as he looked towards his thick legs and extended neck. Looking to his flanks, he noticed the picture of three bass clefs pulled together at the top to form a spiral. 'Hm, not bad, I guess... the dragon features were a nice touch too, I guess...' he studied his thoughts for a moment, before dismissing them and returning back to his seat, "Everyone alright?"

"We had a few hours to be 'alright' with it," Kevin retorted with a grin.

"Everyone understanding with their new bodies?" he rephrased the question.

"Yup," they all answered in unison.

"Good," Avi replied, letting himself sink into the back of his seat, relaxing for a moment.

"Um, do you think I should wake Mitch up?" Scott asked, looking to the others.

Glancing around for a moment, Avi gave a gentle nod, "Go ahead!"

Scott gave a soft sigh. "I guess." before turning to Mitch, and began undoing the buttons on his shirt, and slipping it off, (...) He proceeded to remove his own shirt

That was purely for all the fan girls out there, and you're welcome

Also, I just realized that as soon as I finished writing this, I forgot to add in a very important person. Esther Kaplan. On the very small chance that you see this, I apologise. It is kind of a big deal because she is Avi Kaplan's sister, and the Pentatonix's tour planner. Again, very sorry for not adding Esther.... I make no excuses other than my own pure forgetfulness, which is terrible, seeing as I should never have forgotten her.
