Maybe I should’ve asked Blake for some extra clothes, running like a woman was… ugh. I’ve been running for some time now, first to Ange’s place to find that she’s not there, then to Sophie's place to find that she was gone with a sign out front saying that she’s out. I soon started to head off to Sugarcube Corner to hear some people saying that they saw Sophie heading to the Library wearing a hoodie with the hood up. Meeting up with Blake and Skyler we all headed to the Golden Oaks Library.

“Finally…” I said, panting and out of breath as we finally arrived at the library. While Skyler and Blake were only slightly out of breath, I was beyond exhausted.

“You okay?” Skyler asked, a little worried was heard in her voice.

“Not used to running as a female?” Blake asked with a little laugh.

“Fuck… off.” Was all I said between breaths. It took me a bit but I finally regained a steady rhythm in my breathing. “I'm not used to these weighing me down.” I said, looking down at my own bosom.

“Yeah… you also put on a show with them.” Blake pointed out with another laugh though I did catch a faint blush from her. Before I could say anything she knocked on the door. After a few minutes and me punching Blake's shoulder, which felt like punching a brick wall, the door open to show Dianna was there.

“Yes?” Dianna said in a very calm tone, it was… odd. Dianna wore a dark red shirt with jeans on with some baggy shorts and, most of all, her hair was flat and straight but well kept, there were no strands of hair out of place. She looked at the other two. “Hey Blake, Skyler… who are you?” she asked me.

“It's me, Isaac.” I told Dianne, gaining an odd look from her before she gave good long look.

“Really?” She asked me, poking my bosom. “You look… not Isaac.”

“It’s him.” Blake said as she stopped her from poking me some more. I rubbed my chest from the poking before glaring at Dianne.

“Alright.” Dianna said before stepping out of the way for us. We entered the library and saw everyone there, Rachael was sitting on a chair looking out of the window. Sophie was there as well with a hood up and it covered her whole head. Samantha was there as well, gave us a wave when she saw us but I didn’t see her sister, Lydia, or Angelina. “Hey.” Dianna said, getting my attention. “You need a bra?”

“Really?!” Skyler yelled, looking up at her only to see simply Dianna shrug.

“I'm fine… Thanks.” I said a little awkwardly at the offer. With another shrug Dianna walked off as another person walked in. It was Lydia only… with a lot of purple spots on her skin. She stopped and saw the three of us.

“Hi…” she said with a little worried in her voice.

“What happened to you?” I asked her, more concerned over the spots on her body. Lydia tilted her head at me before Dianna explained that who I was, which got her to blush.

“Uhh, right… well as it seems I’m magicless… and have purple spots.” Lydia said with still a blush.

“Magicless… really?” Blake asked the Magi, only to see Lydia shrink a bit.

“Yeah, whatever happened she can't cast any magic.” a voice said as Drake came downstairs with Ange behind him. She didn't look any different so that was- is that a tail? I looked over and saw Ange with a long fluffy tail and some cat ears top of her head as well as her eyes were slits like a cat.

“Ange?” I said which cases the once shy Skyborn Eeped and zoomed up onto the ceiling, digging her newly acquired claws into the ceiling and shaking like… well a scaredy cat.

“Aww man! I just got her down!” Drake said with a frown. I looked at her not with a frown but with concern before I spoke up to her.

“Ange It's me, Isaac. I know I don't look like it but it's true.” I said to her, my voice while still womanly, took a soft tone and the effect was immediate, her shaking stopped and she looked down at me. I only smiled at her with a little shrug. Then I watch her fall… and land on her feet.

“... Okay that was cool.” Blake said behind me as Skyler nodded. Angelina looked at me for a moment before she spoke.

“Isaac… you look different.” She said as she looked at me. I rubbed my arm a bit with a nervous laugh.

“Yeah, different is an understatement.” I said to her.

“Well… you look nice…” She said in a whisper. I smiled at this, a small blush forming while Blake looked at the rest of us.

“Okay… so we have… Ise-"

“Who?” Rachael asked rudely.

“Fem Isaac here, Cat Ange, magicless, less hyper Dianna… uh…” Blake looked at the Skyborn who turned her back made her wings appear… only they were child size. “Small wing Rachael, hey where’s Jacquelin?”

“Down here.” a high pitch voice came from the table. We all turned and saw the farmer in a blue dress and the size of a toy standing on table.

“It was the only thing that fit.” Sam informed us as we all turned to Sophia who looked at all of us. With a grumble she pulled back her hood and… wow.

“I'm bald!” Sophia cried, her head was completely shaved and clean like a ball. Everyone stared as Sophia looked at us oddly. “You're… not laughing?”

“No, I think by far is funny is tiny Jacquelin. No offense.” The tiny winged Skyborn said.

“None taken.” The farmer replied as Sophia looked into a mirror as Blake tossed her a colorful rag.

“Okay… we're like this… how did this-" Lydia started to say only for Rachael to cut in.

“It's that evil enchantress! She must've put a curse on us!” she stated.

“No it's not a curse.” Lydia said with a frown.

“You sure?” Drake asked, holding a green book with the image of a fern on it.

“Drake, curses belong under anything supernatural, which also have ghosts, undead, and make believe!” Lydia said in a stern tone, making the beastkin roll his eyes. The others voice their own opinions about this, saying that it is a curse and Kam put it on them as Blake, Skyler, Samantha, Ange, and I stood there and watched. Samantha had her arms crossed and frowning at this.

“You people are insane if you seriously think Kam had anything to do with this.” I said to them, arms crossed and frowning. Ange blushed when I crosser my arms and so did I before I quickly uncrossing them. This… didn't get any attention as they kept fighting.

“Maybe we all go to Kams place and just… ask her?” Sam asked rest of us as the others fought.

“I like that idea, can make it so we can say ‘we told you so’.” Blake said with a little chuckle.

“But… that would be rude…” Ange said before her cat ears flickered and she scratched them like a cat would. I was curious of something when I watched her do this and without me knowing, I gently scratched behind her ears. When I finally realized what was happening, I was greeted with Ange’s cat like purrs. I turned to see the others around me staring at me, Blake arching a brow as well.

“Anyway… who here wants to go to the one person that could help us for real? Say Aye.” Blake asked us as the others got louder.

“Aye.” I said with a raise of my hand and so did Ange, only she simply raised her hand quietly. Her blush has yet to fade and I was on the same boat as her, Blake gave me a suspicious glance, no doubt taking note talk about it later and well, I'm not excited for it. The rest of us said Aye and we turned to head out to Kam’s place.

It was a long walk, avoiding some large patches of that blue plant, I didn’t want to know if being in it more would worsen our state more, or make it permanent. Soon we arrived at Kam’s place, a house that had a large tree growing over top of it. There were masks and totems around as we walked up to the door. I felt Ange shrink a bit in fear and she followed behind me as I knocked on the door. After a moment or two the door open and Kam was there without the cloak on. She had more tribal tattoos on her body as she wore a cloth that was wrapped around her chest and a wool skirt.

“Hello, can I help…” She stopped as she looked at me. “Oh… Isaac you look different.”

“Yeah about that… kinda found out first hand how the joke plants look like and well…” I said gesturing at myself before finishing my words with a simply. “Yeah.” I said. She stared at me before her gaze went to Ange and the others.

“And I believe you came for some help?” Kam asked us.

“Umm, yes please.” Angelia said softly. Kam chuckled as she moved out of the way.

“Come in, come in.” Kam ushered us in. As we did we saw that the room was filled with a number of potion bottles, masks, a large cauldron in the middle and, well, everything that makes it look like a shaman lives here. Kam walked over to her bookcase and looked through the books. “I must say, this is quite a surprise to see you like this.”

“Who me?” I asked, unsure to who she spoke to.

“Yes you.” Kam said as she pulled a green book down from the shelf. “This is something cause by the Joke plant… but never at this scale.” she stated.

“So what, I'm the first case of a full gender swap?” I asked her, confused a little as to my condition.

“Too me, yes.” Kam said as she opened the book. “Which means I have to make a double batch just to see if it could turn you back.” I wasn't sure if I should worry or be afraid, luckily though I had plenty of things to keep my mind from imagining the worst, being stuck a woman. Kam let me have a seat nearby as she worked a batch of antidote for the others. Blake and Samantha helped her get the stuff she needed, which most of it was in the forest so they were off getting those as Ange was sitting next to me.

“Sorry… for how my friends were acting Isaac.” Ange said to me. “They’re just… scared at all of this…” I sighed at this, while it was true it didn't justify them for labeling Kam an evil enchantress.

“It's alright… it just doesn't excuse them for acting the way they did. For Celestia’s sake, we're the ones that got ourselves into this mess and Kam had nothing to do with it.” I said to her, a little saddened over this fact. “I just wish they didn't jump the gun in accusing Kam.” I added. Angelina nodded at this as we sat there in silence. A few moments past before she spoke up.

“Umm, Isaac… can you… do something for me… th-that is if you don’t mind.” Ange asked, blushing a little. My mind stopped whatever it was doing, coming to a dead stop and taking a moment or two to process what she had said and I looked I her.

“Y-yeah, what is it?” I said with a stutter at the start. Angel stared at me before she spoke.

“Can you… scratch behind my ears again… please.” she asked, blushing a bit more. Upon hearing her request, my cheeks took a rosy tint as well before I nodded. I began scratching behind her ears again, her purrs were like music to my ears and for a moment or two, it was all just bliss. I heard a little chuckle from Kam as she worked on the antidote. It was a few minutes later until Ange pulled away from me. “Thanks Isaac.” She and I both had a small smile with blushes donning our cheeks.

“N-No problem.” I said, once again stuttering at the start. I internally cursed at my own nervousness at all this. The two of us waited for the others to come as Kam spoke.

“Okay, we just need one last thing to finish it.” Kam said. I looked up at her before looking at the book, seeing it said it shouldn't have taken this long even with a double batch. Before I could say anything there was a loud crash and Rachael came screaming in, along with the others.

“Let our friends go!” Lydia yelled as the other rushed in, Dianna simple walked in. there was so much chaos that happened that my brain couldn’t process what just happened. When it did I saw the others surrounded Kam, Jacqueline trying to hold Kam down but due to her size wasn’t working and the large caldron was tipped over. Kam let out a frustrated sigh at this as she looked at her home.

“You all just barged into my home, and wrecked it… don’t push my patience.” Kam said in an angry tone that I haven’t seen just yet.

“Don’t waste your breath you evil enchantrance, you hexed us and… brainwash Ange and Isaac!” Rachael proclaimed. Everyone glared at Kam as she crossed her arms. My eye was twitching in anger at all of them being idiots and I was about to start yelling but there was another voice that spoke up.

“What in sam hill is going on?!” Samantha asked as Blake and her returned with some stuff. Everyone looked and Jacqueline looked relieved that her sister was safe, even though she was always safe.

“Samantha, Blake stay back!” Lydia said, getting in between Kam and the two. “We’ll not let her do any more harm to anyone else!”

Blake had a flat look on her face as she looked over to me then at the others. She walked over to a stand with the book Kam had and picked it up. “May I?” she asked to Kam, who nodded. Blake walked over with book in hand and shoved it in Lydia’s face. “Read.”

“I don’t…” Lydia started before she started to read. “Poison Joke, a blue coloured plant that has the unique ability to play ‘jokes’ on others. These jokes range from the miniscule as different skin colour, hair colour and rash, to the extreme as lost of flight… shrinkness… baldness… loss of magic with purple...spots…” Blake looked over at me and did the gesture of ‘Your turn’.

“You idiots spilled the antidote, you know, the medicine that'll cure us all of the jokes and not only that, you basically committed a crime of break and entering, not to mention assault!” I exclaimed at them, beyond angry at the lot. For once Ange didn't flinch at the raise of my voice, her frown telling me she too felt the way I did.

“But… the times she came… bad things happened!” The flightless Skyborn pointed out to which Blake spoke up.

“What? You mean the stalls running out of food due to them being moldy? The guy who does the delivered messed up the boxes.” Blake looked at the Mini famer before adding. “You should know this already.” The farmer let out a half hearted laugh.

“It uhh, slipped ma mind…” she said sheepishly.

“Ya see, Kam didn’t do anything, ya’ll just jumping to conclusions.” Sam said which Skyler simply nodded at her. Everyone looked ashamed as Blake looked at Kam.

“Can you make another batch?” Blake asked the Shaman.

“This I can not do, the one item I need grows here every three years, I won’t get any more till that time comes.” Kam answered, making a shiver go down my spine. Was I stuck as a woman for three years?! My panic was short live when Kam pulled a certain back and there was another, I be it smaller but not by much, caldron that’s boiling away. “That’s why I had a backup just in case something happened.” This made everyone let out a sigh of relief.

“Now if what Kam’s book said is true then all we need is a large bath tub or two and we can have everyone soak in it.” Samantha explained which Sophia smiled.

“And I know just the place~!”

I let out a blissful sigh as I soaked in a hot bath by myself as Blake and Kam poured the last bit of the antidote into my bath in the spa house.

“That should be all, Isaac please stay in the bath for some time to see if the effects revert.” Kam explained as she left both me and Blake alone. It was silent for the most part, it was kinda awkward being fully naked with someone else in the room, especially when that someone else would take sneaky glances. Each time she does it she lets out a groan until she turned all the way around so she couldn’t take a peek at me.

“You really should stop with the peeking, Blake.” I said to her and while she did turn around to look the other way, there was large mirror on that wall that held the reflection of the room.

“Can you blame me!” Blake groaned as she looked down at herself. “Curse your hotness.” I rolled my eyes before letting out a laugh, feeling soothness of the water calm me greatly. I looked down at myself, seeing my submerged body.

“You know, I have a whole new respect for women with knockers these big. I've only had them for a few hours and I feel like my back would give out.” I said, raising them up from the water. Blake had the bad luck to look up at this before letting out an annoyed groan as she covered her eyes. This made me laugh as I let them go as Blake shot a glare at me.

“You did that on purpose.” She said to me.

“What, this?” I said, doing it again just for the absolute fun of it. Not only did this get the glare of all glares from Blake but I swore I could see a nosebleed.

“Please stop…” Blake pleaded. “It’s starting to get weird.”

“Oh relax, I'm just joking around but I did mean what I said before, their killing my back.” I said, this time I was serious as I slowly submerged myself in the water, leaving me up to my neck in water. “So how are the others holding up?” I asked Blake, changing the subject.

“They’re fine, Sophia has her hair back, Jacqueline is normal size, etc. You're just taking the longest for some reason.” Blake explained to me as I head some cheering from the once flightless Skyborn now able to fly again.

“It's weird… I stood on the patch as long as the others did and with what Kam said, I shouldn't have been gender swapped in the first place.” I said before sighing and looking up at the ceiling. “Guess I'm the unlucky one again.” I said with a little laugh.

“Don’t know what to say man, things just happen and you have to roll with the punches.” Blake said with a shrug. A few moments past before Blake spoke again, only a little quieter. “So… when are you going to ask Ange out?” To say that I freaked out was an understatement, I nearly drowned when she asked this.

“W-w-what?” I asked, acting clueless though to no avail by the looks of it.

“Oh come on, you really think I’m that clueless? I’ve seen the way you looked at her and her at you.” Blake pointed out to me. “It’s getting to the point where it starting to stop being cute and I want to start yelling ‘Just kiss her already!’.” I frowned at this and looked down at the water.

“I just don't want to fuck it up!” I exclaimed, my voice echoing in the room and silencing Blake. “Yeah I like her, maybe even… but I'm just nervous that I'd screw it up somehow.” I said burying my face into my hands, letting out a loud and muffled groan as I did.

“Yeah… I know the feeling.” Blake said with a sigh. “But you don’t know if you don’t at least try.” I let a small groan when she said this, it was true though that didn't mean it'd be easy. We waited for a few minutes and I began to see some changes such as my hair getting shorter and I was losing the female form I had for the last few hours. I wasn’t fully back to normal but at least I was getting there. “So… other than the back pains, you going to miss being Ise?” Blake asked, a smug look on her face as she said that.

“Not as much you are.” I said in a retort, not even bothering to look at her when I said this. Blake stuck her tongue out at me as the time continue on. At one point Ange came around, back to her own self, to say goodbye to the two of us, and after another few hours past I walked out of the spa as my male self again.

“And he’s back.” Blake said with a chuckle.

“Yup, finally too. I don't think I'd live a week as a girl.” I said, glad to hear my own voice again. Blake laughed at that as the two of us headed down the street to our homes.

“So… since you know about my crush on Ange. I think it'd be for me to ask if you have a crush of your own?” I asked her, giving her a side glance as we walked. Blake didn’t say anything at first and after a few moments of walking she shook her head.

“Nope, I don’t have a crush.” She answered softly. I looked down at the ground, I could tell that she was upset just by the way she moved and her tone.

“Hey don't be so down… you just got to be patient, maybe you'll find that special someone sooner than you think.” I said to her, wanting to cheer her up. Blake glances at me and smiled a little.

“Thank Isaac.” Blake said softly. I smiled back at her as we continued on before finally coming upon the fork in the road with one way leading her home and the leading to mine. We waved goodbye at one another before we headed to our respective homes.
