(A/N: This is only my second time tackling a project in first person. Hopefully I do a good enough job and you enjoy my work, regardless of any errors.)
I awoke with the sun blaring in my eye and a cool breeze washing over my face. Neither of which I had time to admire thanks to the insane headache that followed a moment after. Letting out a soft groan, I hefted myself up into a sitting position. The simple act nearly set me falling back into the grassy ground. Dear lord, my head hurt. I must have banged it hard on something, or maybe my baby sister decided to test the thickness of my skull again. She has a nasty habit of doing that when not being watched around blunt objects. Regardless, I did not need an expert to point something bad had happened. Even my voice from my painful grunts sounded off.
Rubbing my temples in a vain attempt to clear my head, I began to take stock of my surroundings. Clearly I was outside now; more specifically I was smack in the middle of a large grassy field. Yet I was not sure how I had gotten out here. The last thing I remember was passing out in front of my computer while playing a game. My mom must have heard it and dragged me out to get fresh air or something. Although I do not remember our backyard having this much open space and trees. For that matter I could have sworn we had more houses in the neighborhood. There was not a sign of civilization that I could see; except for maybe that strange tower over the hill to the west. What I think was west at this point.
My mind was starting to feel a lot better now, so I guess it was time for a damage assessment. Let us see, two arms; still there and looking more hairless than I remembered. Two legs; have feeling in them but the thighs look a little swollen. Two breasts; bouncing with each breath I took. Tail; attached and wagging happily. Things seemed to be in order at least.
Ever have one of those moments where your brain just seems to slam on the breaks? Mine did just that at about this point, and then slowly began to work backwards on what I had just observed. The same thought kept repeating itself to me over and over, sounding less surreal each time. I could not deny it either, since my nerves were registering it twitching among the grass behind me.
I had a tail?
Wait…I HAD BREASTS!?
My hands and eyes bolted to my chest at about the same time, but all that did was prove the impossible to me. I had boobs; huge ones at that. Okay maybe not that big by standards, but any guy would probably think the same in my situation. My mind was about ready to black out all over again as my hands gave them test squeezes. They were real alright, and softer than I expected for that matter. I could feel them being felt up too, bizarre!
It was during my self explorations I realized I was not even in my own clothes anymore. I always wore baggy clothes and had put on a black shirt and boxers before this. Now I was in something that looked like it barely qualified as an outfit. My chest was being covered by a leather halter top. Its low cut displayed a much larger amount of cleavage than I was comfortable with, which at this point was none. My breasts were overlapped by white cotton supported by gray, frilly straps wrapped around slender shoulders. That was all they covered, though. The garment ended just past my bust, leaving exposed a full six pack of tan skinned abs. I would have found that nice if I did not also have a waist caved in enough to wrap a straw around. To make matters worse my hips and buttocks flared out, creating a nice set of curves that would make the girls at my high school jealous. That would explain why it felt like I was sitting on a cushion.
Hanging around my broadened pelvis was some sort of loincloth to match my top. It had a large gray flap resting between my muscular thighs, a simple design of two rainbow colored triangles on the top and bottom decorated it. There were two shorter flaps resting against the sides of my hips and an even shorter one across my butt, though that one was cut in half to accommodate my new tail as well. I assumed the design was either to allow full body movement, or the tailor was a pervert. There was also a pair of green leather sandal on my new dainty feet, but a new thought began to dawn on me. With a shaking hand I lifted up the front flap of my new garment. Underneath was a non-impressive white cloth connected to the flap belt to cover the obvious privet parts, but that was not what I wanted to see. Part of me wanted to feel and confirm my worst fears, but it seemed redundant. The smoothness of my crotch said it all. I was a girl!
"This can't be real!" I nearly shouted. As if my voice would somehow shatter the hysterical spell coming over me. All that did was further add to my anxiety as the first exposure to my new voice reached my ears. This made me blink in confusion. Something did not feel right. Okay, a lot of things did not feel right, but this was something I failed to notice sooner. I reached up to feel my ears, or at least where they should have been. All I felt now around that area was smooth skin and silky hair. I brought a clump forward, not totally surprised to find it a thick red color. Even my hair had been changed. My other hand continued traveling up my head and finally found my ears mush closer to the top. It took me a few seconds to even realize it was my ear, for it was now coming to a sharp point and covered in a light coat of fur. Just like a cats ear, I realized with a sinking feeling. The slight contact of my fingers caused them to twitch instinctively.
The full gravity of what I had become hit home at that point. Somehow I had been changed from a sixteen year old high school boy into a cat girl; a mithra, no less. I glanced quickly again at my surroundings. Now I knew why it had looked so familiar. I had been playing just here a little while ago. This was smack in the middle of Sarutabaruta; a grassy field region in the land of Vana'diel. This was the world of a video game, and it was real! The cold breeze washing over my bare back was proof enough of that.
A strange animal sound caused my new ears to swivel behind me curiously. I had no idea they could do that, but it was not the time to dwell on it. Swallowing hard, I turned to face my visitor. The scream that followed brought new meaning to the phrase 'scream like a girl.' Here I am, a transgender victim half naked in an open field, and only yards in front of me sat the worlds biggest caterpillar. If memory served correctly, they were called crawlers. Not that my mind was totally focused on what it was called. More like on the way its giant mouth opened and closed with each breath it drew. I had not had a good chance to examine my new head yet, but I was pretty sure it could easily fit in there.
I stayed perfectly still as our matched gaze. The insane terror at seeing a worm the size of a pony kept me rooted on hands and knees. Much to my surprise this proved unnecessary a few seconds later. The crawler seemed to lose interest in me and began scuttling away towards a larger patch of grass. I rose to my feet and let out the breath keeping my breasts barreled out as it began to graze lazily.
"There you are, kupo!"
I let out a startled cry and fell back onto my rounded butt. A painful groan came out next as I landed on my own tail too. A strange white bear like creature had literally dropped out of the sky and hovered only a few feet away from my face. Its little deely-bobber danced around in rhythm to its small wings flapping. It looked like the creature was dancing in the air. Soon as my heart returned to a tolerable speed I recognized the creature as the famous final fantasy moogle.
"You got out a little further out than expected," it said with no notice of my discomfort. Sure seemed like a happy little bear creature. "I hope your wish was everything you desired kupo."
"My...wish?" I repeated in a daze and then gasped as the memories came back to me in wave.
I had just gotten home from a typical day at school. Naturally a good case of sitting down to video games is just what I needed to wind down. It was not like I had any of those 'real life' things my mom always nagged about. Seriously, after a hard day of getting overly nothing accomplished, pretending to be an overly stacked cat girl with a giant axe feels pretty gratifying. Not that I am a bad student, in fact I pass every test with flying colors. There is just no point in doing homework if I already know the subject matter by heart. That is where my mom and I have a difference of opinion.
Level building gets more boring than homework too, even in an online game. Instead I decided to participate in an event that was going on. The name of it was drawing blank right now, but it was some sort of fairytale theme. Not that the games events were worthwhile to begin with. Even if you get a reward it was usually some stupid play item. No real purpose to them except looking cute. Then again, when you are just starting out options are pretty limited. It was very easy once some friends had explained it clearly. The moogles sprouted nonsense about 'following the breadcrumbs' to a rare item and return it. I found my item easy, but it was an odd one. My friends had been finding things like cookies and pies. Mine was a black rabbits foot. That was a pretty exciting find. No one else on the server had any idea such a thing existed.
I ran back to the event moogle to turn it in. Even if it was an event reward, odds are it would at least look cool. Surprisingly the moogle gave me nothing. Instead it started dancing around in the air declaring I had won a free fairy wish. Moments later a window opened with those yes/no options asking if I had made my wish. The words that left my mouth before selecting 'yes' echoed through my mind. A feral sounding growl escaped my lips as I glared at the moogle, cat tail curled up at the ready.
"You did this to me!!" I shouted while lunging at the annoying white bear. He avoided my attack easily by flying straight up a few feet. After that gravity kicked in and I lost my anger, along with my breath, as my face connected with the grassy dirt. What an amazingly painful sensation; having your boobs crushed. Surprising how I never thought of things like that, back when all I did was look at them.
"I wish to escape this rut of a life and have a real adventure," the moogle said with a giggle as it hovered over me. I turned back over onto a sitting position, brushing loose strands of grass out of my puffy hair. "Is that not what you wished for kupo?"
"This was harrrdly what I had in mind." Oh great! I even had the mithras trademark accent. It really did sound like they purred when saying strong 'r' words. That was kind of creepy in person; more so because it was me making those sounds. "And I apprrreciate being knocked out before you gender bent me, very considerate of you."
The moogle shook its head sadly. It did not appear to care about my strife. "You did not specify the conditions your wish had to be met kupo! If you do not like the result you will just have to be more careful next time kupo."
"Next time!?" What I would not give to have my feminine hands on that moogle upon hearing that. "You can't just leave me strrranded like this!"
"Oh no, silly girl!" The moogle laughed heartedly and I felt a bit of relief. Hopefully this meant it was going to take some weight off my chest…figuratively speaking. "My transformation spell was cast a bit off and sent you all the way out here by accident. I rushed out to find you as fast as I could to bring you back to town kupo."
"Trrransformation spell!?" Well, so much for feelings of relief. The way the moogle said these things so casually was unnerving. It made me wonder how often people suddenly became a part of the video games they played. Wait, could have sown that was the plot to a fan fiction I had read once…
"Well, let's not sit out here and wait for yagudo to ambush us kupo!" The moogle clasped its tiny hand like paws together. Almost instantly large amounts of black energy began to form around them. "Hang on to your loincloth kupo!"
"What!? No wait!!"
There was a whole butt load of questions this moogle needed to answer, but it was too late to stop him. He thrust his hands forward to release the gathering energy and activate his spell. A strange chill enveloped my whole body, causing me to gasp. I looked down in horror to watch the dark energy form around my slim belly and quickly expand outwards. Within moments I was completely covered in the dark energy. No sooner did that happen then the energy began to recede back in on itself. That would not have been so scary if my new body was not disappearing with it! Fortunately the stress finally caught up with me, or maybe it was the spell. Either way I was blessed with passing out before the black energy caved in on itself. Vanish into thin air along with me.
