“Okay… First up is a potato and duck soup.” Blake said as she put two bowls of soup in front of me and Skyler. This sort of thing happen every month or two where Skyler and I come over to taste test some new items Blake is planning to put on the menu. It’s also free food so that’s also a plus. I looked down at the soup, seeing the steam rise up from it giving it a clear warning that it was hot. Whether I would regret this later or not, the only thought in mind was that it was free so I might as well try it. I blew lightly onto the first spoonful before sipping a bit of the soup then eating the chunk of potato. Humming as I chewed, this got a nervous look from Blake as I did this.

“So… what you think?” Blake asked me as Skyler was already downing the bowl of soup. When Blake looked back at me, I was already halfway finished with mine. “Well… I’m going to take it that you both like it.” Blake said with a smile. I always wonder why she gets so nervous when we do this sort of thing, we done this many times before but it never changes. I never really asked since it didn’t seem that big of the deal since eight of ten times her food is good.

“I don't see why your so nervous, Blake. You're an amazing cook for crying out loud!” I exclaimed my appraisal of her, surprising her a little when Skyler nodded and hummed in agreement.

“Yeah… but I can’t help it sometimes.” Blake said with a little laugh. Me and Skyler both arched a brow at her questioningly, both of us silently asking her why she would get so nervous whenever we do taste tests. She rolled her eyes before disappearing into her kitchen as Skyler finished her bowl.

“These are the best days of the month.” Skyler said happily. I laughed at that due to the truth of it.

“Yup, free taste tests. What's not to like about it?” I asked jokingly before chuckling a little. After a few moments Blake came out with plates of what look like is a sandwich.

“Duck Parm heros anyone?” she asked and she put the plates down in front of us. “Using a lot of duck in these dishes so I hope you like it.” Skyler happily started eating the sandwich, happily humming to herself as I took a bite as well… it took me a few moments to come to and seeing that the sandwich was gone.

“I think I zoned out.” I said mostly to myself, though it got a laugh from Skyler and Blake when I did. I arched a brow at them, not seeing how it was funny before saying. “I'm serious.” Though those words went on deaf ears and it only led to a roll of my eyes. After taking our plates Blake made use some drinks, a coffee for me and a milkshake for Skyler as well a drink of her own, and chatted for a bit.

“Hey… is it just me or there’s no one around?” Skyler asked the both of us.

“Well, the store is close for the day for testing-” Blake started to say but got cut off by Skyler.

“No, I mean like in town. There’s no one around.” Skyler informed her. I turned around to see she was right, there’s no one out in the streets. It wasn't until I gave it some thought that I remembered that every two months the town gets visited by a resident of the Everfree forest, a shaman woman by the name of Kamkhwala or Kam for short, visits the town to get some supplies such as herbs and local spices sometimes even food. The townsfolk seem to take this as a bad omen for a very stupid reason… because she lives in the Everfree and just by that fact, they speculate her to be some sort of evil enchantress come to make us her slave. So far the town thinks of me, Skyler and Blake as a slave but in reality we just help her with the shopping, sometimes breaking into a closed store when in fact it was opened just moments prior to her arrival. We poke some fun out it, acting as mindless zombies as we do this.

As I was thinking this we heard a tapping from the front door. We turn to see a cloaked person with a walking stick in their hand. “Ah that must be her.” Blake said as she walked around the counter and opened the door for the being. The cloaked figure walked in as Blake closed the door. “I have a bag in the back, wait here.” she stated as she walked into the back. As she did the being removed the cloak and saw it was a woman with brown skin and what look like tribal tattoos on her face as well as a white and black hair that hangs down her back.

“Isaac, Skyler, good to see you again.” Kam greeted us with a smile.

“Hey Kam, good to see you too.” I greeted back with a smile, it was always a pleasant time whenever she visits. She would tell stories of the land she came from and how before becoming a shaman that she was her tribe's greatest warrior.

“Hi Kam, you need help getting stuff?” Skyler asked her.

“No child, but thanks for the offer.” Kam replied with a smile. “I have all I need, just need to get some maize flour from miss Blake.” This got Skyler to blink at me before looking at me, I already know what she was going to say; ‘What’s Maize flour?’.

“It's corn.” I answered Skyler’s silent question gaining an ‘Oh' from the young teen when I did. “So what brings to town today?” I asked the shaman woman.

“Just a few items for potions I need to brew, and a few ingredients for some food I had when I was little.” Kam said before adding. “Also if you plan to go out into the Everfree, beware of the wild Joke Plant that grows. It’s having it’s wild growth season now.”

“Thanks for the warning.” Blake said as she carried a bag Kam needed. “If I’m lucky I can get some fruit from the plate to make my joke cakes.”

“You mean the ones that make ones teeth, tongue and hair blue?” Skyler asked which earned her a nod from Blake. Blake handed the shaman the bag which she thanked and she in returned handed Blake a book.

“This here is some more receipts from my home, I hope you can enjoy them.” Kam said as Blake brighten up at.

“Thanks Kam.” She said happily. Kam nodded as she began to leave. We all watch, well me and Skyler since Blake was reading through the book, and notice someone following Kam. she had red hair with a pink bow in it and wore a blue shirt and green shorts. She looks around Skyler’s age and I soon saw it was Samantha, Jacqueline younger sister. Unlike her sister, Samantha had always thought the way everyone acts when Kam is around be more than a little rude and disrespectful.

“Hey it’s Sam.” Skyler said as we watch her ran by. “What’s she doing?”

“I don't know but here comes her sister.” I said to Skyler as Jacqueline came into view, shortly followed by the others including Lydia, who looked confused to the ordeal. “Let's go see what's up.” I said to Skyler, getting up from the booth. The two of us left Blake in her little wonderland as we ran towards the others which lead us to the forest. Before long we stopped to find everyone standing around, or hovering like Rachael is, as the older farmer give her sister a stirn talking to.

“Uhhh… Isaac…” Skyler started to say but before I could say anything Lydia turned and saw us.

“Isaac, what are you doing here?” The Magi asked me.

“Could ask you the same thing. What's with all the commotion?” I asked Lydia as I crossed my arms.

“Isaac…” Skyler said again before Lydia spoke.

“We we were all in Sugarcube corner when Samantha ran off and we all chased after her.” Lydia explained before Dianne jumped in between us and and grabbed onto my shirt, shaking me wildly as she said.

“She would’ve be turned into a Zombie!” Dianne yelled. I blinked at this, speechless from Dianne’s outburst before making her let my shirt go. Skyler grew tired of having been ignored so many times that she kicked me in the shin to get my attention and it worked very efficiently in her favor as for me… well now I have a hurt shin.

“Ow! What the hell!?” I yelled at Skyler, turning to look at her as I did. Though it was a little difficult to turn when hopping on one leg. Skyler frowned as she pulled me a little down, still on one leg, and moved my head to look down… where I was we were all standing in a large patch of blue flowers. “Oh that's what they look like.” I muttered to myself, referring to the flowers we all stood on with the exception of Samantha and Skyler. “So… I'm wearing shoes aren't I? I'll be fine.” I said to her, straightening back up as I did and finally standing on both legs.

“You sure that will protect you?” Skyler asked as the rest of them were heading back with the two farm sisters walking together, Sam frowning as well as Jacqueline. With a shrug I answered by simply saying.

“What's the worse than could happen if it doesn't?” I asked her with a shrug. Skyler didn’t say anything as we headed off back home to spend the rest of the day simply lounging at home, we even got to play a game Skyler had gotten recently, which only added more time spent inside before it got late and we went to sleep.

When morning came around, I felt odd like if something was different but it was kinda hard to dwell on it with the morning grogginess. When I opened my eyes, I noticed I had rolled off the bed at some point overnight, a reminder to buy a bigger bed whenever I get the chance. With a yawn, I pushed myself up with ease and made my way downstairs in a zombie like state. My steps thumped onto the floor hard when I finally made it down the stairs. I heard the sounds of a video game and saw Skyler in her pajamas playing a game.

I headed over to the kitchen and made some cereal and milk, an okay breakfast at best but I was too tired to want something better than cereal. I walked over to the recliner beside the sofa Skyler was laying on and sat down with the bowl of cereal in hand. I ate most of the cereal quietly, watching as Skyler died over and over in the game and once I finished up the bowl is when she spoke up.

“Man… this is annoying…” Skyler said before looking over at me. “Morning Isaa-” she stopped as she looked at me for a long moment. “... Who are you?” I blinked at this before speaking.

“What?” I asked, hearing a higher pitched voice unfamiliar to me. I reeled back at this a little. “Uhh what happened my voice?” I asked, hearing the womanly voice.

“Duhhhh…” Skyler simply said before she turned the TV off, making it so I could see the reflection of the room, and us. When I looked over at me, my eyes grew wide as saucers. I stood up and looked at myself fully, being greeted by a buxom beauty with long back length black hair. It was fortunate enough that I had slept with my previous clothes on, a sleeveless tank top and a pair of cargo shorts.

“Holy… fuck.” I said, now realizing the voice was actually mine. After a brief moment of silence, I blinked at this and tilted my head before saying. “I look hot.” I said.

“Really… that’s what you say first?” Skyler asked in a deadpanned tone.

“Hey it's true, I look hot as hell.” I said in defense, crossing my arms only to uncross them seconds later when I felt my newly gained bosom rise up when I did.

“How… did this happen?” Skyler asked, now tilting her head as I looked at myself through the TV. I only shrugged, not knowing the answer myself. “Do you think something like this happened to the others?” Skyler asked again, referring to Lydia and the others.

“I don't know.” Was all I could say… damn I look fine. Skyler noticed my staring at the reflection.

“You need a room?” Skyler asked me. I rolled my eyes at her before turning to look at her, moving some hair out of the way.

“Let me just… change into something that doesn't reek and we'll head out I guess.” I told her, unsure of what action to take first. Skyler nodded and I headed back up stairs for a quick shower, which led me to discover that I really was a woman without a doubt. When I finished my shower, I went into my room and after what felt like hours picked out another sleeveless tank top, this one bearing an image of a sun with a face and a pair of jeans. It felt odd being in what normally is casual clothes for me but with me being a woman now, it wasn't bad per say just mildly unpleasant. After putting on some shoes, I walked down stairs to find Skyler resuming her game. “You coming or what?” I asked her, getting her attention just before she died in game.

“Yeah… going to Blake's place to get something to eat?” Skyler asked before standing up.

“That's the plan for now at least.” I said with a nod before we both headed out for Blake's shop. On the walk over there there was something I didn’t expect on; the many stares from everyone we walk past. I even heard a few catcalls from the guys.

“Yeah… you look hot as hell…” Skyler said with a smirk. I frowned at her and glanced down before saying.

“Say anything else about this and you're grounded.” I said to her, my tone making it sure she knew I was serious. It wasn’t long before we got to Blakes store and went inside, Skyler went off to get our table as I walked up to the counter. Blake walked out in her normal attire and saw me and stared.

“Why Hello~” Blake said with a smile. “What can I help you with?” I blinked at this and realized what Blake is doing, she’s going to be flirting with me. I glanced up and saw the Duck Parm Hero is on the menu and under ‘Specials’.

“I'll uhh… I'll have the Duck Parm Hero.” I said, hearing my own voice being that of a woman’s was still weird but I'm going to get used to it until I find a way to reverse it. Blake smiled and winked at me.

“Coming right up.” she said before walking into the kitchen, doing so with her eyes on me. Once she was out of view, I shivered a bit in discomfort before going over to Skyler and sat down.

“You okay? You look like you saw something unpleasant.” Skyler asked me. I simply shrugged at her as she read her menu. After she told me what she wanted I had to get up and walk back to the counter.

“You’re back.” Blake said to me as she was putting some money away. She smiled as she looked over at me. “Need anything else?”

“Yeah, can I also get Breakfast Sun Meal?” I asked her. Blake’s smile was still there but she tilted her head a bit.

“Sure… but uhh that’s a lot of food for someone like you.” Blake said, writing down the order. I arched a brow at her before glancing at Skyler, my glance was enough to tell her that I am trying to mess with Blake.

“Well it's not all for me, silly, it's for my friend here.” I told her, giggling a little as I did. It was a little hard to act out as a woman, having never been one before but I was managing. Blake blinked at this before looking around at the room.

“Oh? Who’s your friend?” She asked as her eyes looked around the room. I smiled as gestured for Skyler to come over. As she did Blake blinked at her. “Hey Sky… what are you doing here?”

“Oh I’m here with her.” Skyler said before putting her hands on her hips. “Did Isaac forget to tell you of her?”

“They… know each other?” Blake asked as Skyler nodded.

“Yeah… uh I believe they're friends from a few months ago, you know with his metal hawk.” Skyler explained. Blake didn’t say anything before looking at me with a smile.

“Well a friend to Isaac is a friend of mine.” She said, even though her tone of voice seems a little more deflated.

“You okay?” Skyler asked Blake.

“Yeah… yeah I’m fine.” Blake said before looking at the writing before realizing something and heading back into the kitchen. Both Skyler and I went back to our table to wait for our food.

“Man… I never thought Blake would try and hit on you.” Skyler said with a chuckle. I chuckled as well, finding it funny as well.

“I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm going out with me.” I said, referring to myself in both the male and female perspective. The two of us laugh at this and waited until Blake came out with both out meals.

“Alright, Breakfast Sun Meal for Skyler… and the Duck Parm Hero for… ah hell I didn't catch your name miss.” Blake said with a slight blush to me. Skyler looked at me and arch a brow, wondering if I came up with a name.

“Ise.” I said to her with a smile. I've got to give myself props for acting, never knew I had it in me. Blake smiled at this as she put the hero down.

“Hope you enjoy, the Duck Parm Hero is a new item on the menu. If you don’t mind after you can give me your-” Before Blake could finish there was a loud scream from somewhere in town. I knew the sound was from Sophia. The three of us plus anyone in the store looked out of the windows in shock. “Uhh, what was that about?” Blake asked.

“I don’t know…” Skyler said before she dug into her meal.

“Right… anyway, after you finish mind giving me your thoughts on the sandwich?” Blake asked, finishing what she was asking. With a nod from me, she turned to walk away before I spoke up.

“About earlier, whatever you're thinking is going on between me and Isaac isn't the case… we're just friends.” I told her, while I wanted to mess with her I didn't want to bring her mood down, she's still my best friend. This made Blake smile a bit, brighten her mood up.

“I see…” Blake said before looking out of the store. “Speaking about Isaac, where is he? Sleeping late again?”

“He's a little under the weather, though I'm sure he'll be fine.” I told her with a smile, apparently doing so made Blake blush.

“Right…” She said before she walked away. As she got out of earshot Skyler looked at me.

“You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?” Skyler asked.

“A little bit, this is payback for blowing an air horn into my ear.” I said to Skyler, remembering her involvement with the incident when she gave Blake her keys to open the garage door. Upon remembering, I narrowed my eyes and said. “Which I just so happened to remember your involvement in.” Skyler laughed nervously at me about that.

“Uhh… well… you see…” She said as I stared. I gave a deadpanned look as she babbled on for an explanation or an excuse before I rolled my eyes and ate the sandwich. As I ate the food I saw Blake at the counter talking to someone. As the person left I notice her occasionally glancing over at us, only to looked back away. I held back a laugh, it was always funny seeing her like this when normally she would be calm and collected, now she is acting like a nervous schoolgirl with a crush. Before long the both of us finished our meals with a happy sigh as Blake returned.

“Guessing it was good?” Blake said with a chuckle as she collected the dishes.

“Honestly, it was good as yesterday.” I said to Blake while patting my stomach in content. Skyler laughed at this as I did this. This confused Blake as she blinked at me.

“Huh? What are you talking about?” She asked me before scratching the back of her head and saying. “My store was close yesterday.”

“Yeah but you invited me and Skyler for some taste testing.” I said to her holding back a laugh.

“What… but… the only other that came with Skyler was…” It was then Blake’s face went pale. “You you got to be kidding me!” she yelled before storming back into the back with now a red face. Me and Skyler both laughed at Blake's reaction.

“I can't believe she fell for it.” I said with a laugh. Skyler laughed a little bit more and, after a while, Blake returned, blushing.

“You two suck… you know that right?” she said with a frown. I was still laugh when she said this before I spoke up.

“You kinda started it, flirting with me as soon as I got here.” I said to her, chuckling every so often now. This made Blake blush more now I said that.

“Don’t make it weird… I just feel so wrong now…” Blake said before sitting down. With an arch brow, I asked her.

“What? Does the thought of flirting with me repulse you that much?” I asked her curiously.

“No, it’s just you’re my best friend, if I tried to flirt with you it would be a little weird, if it doesn’t work out… I don’t know I just see you as a friend…” she said before putting her head on the table with a loud thud. “Can’t believe I did it anyway…”

“Alright alright, I get it. I actually get where you're at, I see you like the sister I never had.” I said to her, admitting that I had seen her as such. We've been together for a long time, looking out for one another and eventually I saw her as a sister with how frequent we hung out. Blake looked up and smiled at me.

“I have the same feeling… which brings me to my next question… How the hell are you a girl!?!” Blake yelled. Luckily no one was in the store so we weren’t bothering anyone. I only shrugged, the very same response I gave Skyler earlier.

“Maybe it has to do with the blue flowers before?” Skyler asked which got Blakes attention.

“Wait, blue flower?” She asked, looking at me for the answer.

“Yeah, there's a huge patch of them a few stores down.” I said to Blake, informing her of the location of said patch flowers.

“A few stores down… that would mean you’ll be in the Everfree… ah.” Blake straighten up a bit before adding. “You must’ve ran into a Poison Joke patch.”

“Poison Joke… wait it’s the same as the Joke plant Kam warned us.” Skyler said to us which Blake nodded.

“Yeah, a single flower would cause some troubles but a whole bunch of them would cause bigger issues… which is way we had a genderbent Isaac now.” Blake said. I blinked at this, mentally groaning at my stupidity at the fact that I hadn't seen this coming at all.

“Wait…” I said, suddenly remembering that the other were standing on the patch of flowers as well. “What about the other girls?” I asked Skyler.

“If they were standing it in, then something must’ve happened.” Skyler said.

“If that’s true them maybe you should go check on them… or go see Kam, she lived in the Everfree so she would know how to get you back to normal.” Blake pointed out to us. It wasn't until it dawned to me that Ange was amongst the few that stood on the flower patch.

“We need to go check on them. Now.” I said, my tone taking a one eighty to full blown serious.
