Saturday. That blissful day that rolls off the tongue so easily. A day to just laze around and enjoy the weekend, and the Louds were no different in that regard. Except for two members of the clan - a certain sports fan and the scientist of the family.

Lynn Jr. was at another football game - her twentieth, to be exact. The year before she joined the Royal Woods Roosters while posing as her brother Lincoln since he didn't want to play. Why he didn't want to she still didn't know (even when he told her in a way that should've been crystal clear), but didn't complain. After all, another sport under her belt wouldn't hurt. After her cover was blown the coach had told her that she could join the team next year, as she had been the star player during her time there. Of course, she took the opportunity and, as a man of his word, he obliged. She definitely didn't disappoint.

Lisa on the other hand, was still in the house, also doing what she does best. She had important work to do and just because it was a weekend didn't mean she was going to slack off. Lucy had accidentally left a book about werewolves in Lisa and Lily's room a few days ago. She knew that such creatures didn't exist in real life, but read a few pages anyway. She was so fascinated that she kept reading and by the time she finished, she was inspired to make those very creatures real. But how was she to go about it?

She glanced at her DNA samples that she'd collected, some from animals, some from herself, and some from her siblings. Whenever one of them questioned how she got their DNA samples, she never did tell them, instead flashing them a wide grin and pretending she never said anything about it in the first place. Out of the corner of her eye she caught a sample of wolf DNA that she had acquired during a camping trip when a wolf had tried to steal the family's food (and was quickly fended off by Lana.) Now there was an idea.

Lisa had been working on the potion since then, and today was the day she finally finished her work. The little genius had been so caught up in her work that she never considered who she was going to test it on. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sounds of shouting, arguing, and growling. Deciding to investigate, she poked her head out of the room to see what was going on. It was another twin fight, as usual. Lana and Lola were fighting over one of the latter's many tiaras.

"Let go! It's my tiara and I need it for my tea party!" Lola demanded while pulling on it. "Well I need it for welding! Besides, you have like a million other tiaras, just use another one!" Lana snapped back, also pulling on it as if they were playing Tug-O'-War. Eventually the frail metal tiara broke in half, and the overall-clad twin shot her a smug grin. She was about to let out a taunting "Ha!" but before she could she took notice of the pageant queen's scowl. There were practically flames in her eyes and she looked like she wanted to murder someone. Lana decided it'd be better to make a run for it, and so she placed her half of the tiara in her mouth and took off towards the front door, running on all fours. Lola let out a war cry and chased after her, but of course not in the same way her rough-and-tumble twin did.

"Just the twins. Of course they were fighting over something trivial again, as per usual. You know, I never did understand why Lana acts like a dog more than like a person sometimes." she mused to herself. Her eyes widened as she realized something."Wait a minute, that's it! She's the perfect test subject! Besides, if the effects make her act even more like a dog than usual, nobody would really notice." And so Lisa grasped the potion she had worked so hard on and brought it into the kitchen and waited for her test subject to walk in. However, sometimes things don't go quite as planned.

The front door was already open due to Lana opening it and Lola not bothering to close it once she caught up with her. Lynn Jr. had come back from the game with unsurprisingly another win. Nobody noticed her standing in the doorway, so she closed the door and kicked it open again. "GUYS, HOLY FUCK!" she shouted, and walked inside. That was enough to get everyone's attention, even the twins who were decking it out again, this time in the yard. Leni was the first to speak. "What, where?! We should fix it then!" Everyone facepalmed. Leni then turned to the eldest sister by only a year. "Lori, what's a fuck?" she asked. Lori facepalmed again.

"I just got my twentieth win in a row for football, guys!" She pumped her right fist in the air. "Good job, Lynn!" both twins shouted, still in the yard but no longer fighting. Instead, they were putting the broken tiara back together. Lana decided to give it back, on the condition that she could use a different tiara for welding instead. Lola begrudgingly agreed on it, deciding that the loss of one tiara wouldn't be too much of a big deal anyway. She never specified which one though, and decided to give up one of the more plain ones. "Yeah, we never doubted you." Lincoln added with a genuine smile. Perhaps it was a good thing he got Lynn to pretend to be him on the team last year after all. Leni, of course, was confused yet again. "Wait, we were supposed to doubt her? Why?" Everyone fought off the urge to facepalm again.

The sports fan walked into the kitchen to grab a drink, only to notice Lisa standing near the potion she had just finished up, filled with a orange liquid. "Ooh, orange soda! Just what I need!" Lynn walked over and grabbed the glass. A wave of panic rose in Lisa when she realized what she was about to do. "Wait no! You mustn't drink-" she began to shout, but Lynn downed it all anyway and let out a loud belch. "Huh, a little more sour than I was expecting, but ehh. Thanks for the drink, Lisa!" And with that she walked off into her room to take a quick cat-nap. "Hey Luce." she greeted when she noticed the goth girl writing yet another poem, sitting in her coffin bed. "Hi." she replied, not looking up from her work. Crawling into her own bed, she drifted off to sleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

Later...

Lynn woke up in a pool of sweat and noticed that the room was completely dark, save for the moonlight coming out of the window. Lucy was also no longer in the room. "How long did I sleep?" she murmured to herself and sat up. The moment she did though, she was hit by waves of nausea and a migraine. Forcing herself to get up since it was likely everyone was downstairs waiting for dinner, she noticed the moon. It was full. "Man the moon's so bright tonight, and it's... strangely alluring. It's beau-"Her thought was cut off by a sudden sharp pain in her stomach, painful enough to let out a little whimper. She opened the window, hoping that the breeze would at least cool her off a bit. It didn't help at all, but she did feel more drawn to the moon."Ugh I swear it's hot as balls in here! Maybe I'll feel better after a trip to the bathroom. Hopefully there's no line."/em She walked out of the room and, to her relief, there was indeed no line. However, when she was halfway there another sharp pain hit her, powerful enough to send her to the floor on her knees.

"GAAAAGH!" she yelled. She wondered if she had gotten sick. She clutched her stomach with her right and and kept the left one on the floor. She then noticed her hands twitching, at first it was slight but it quickly became more and more violent. "What the...?" Pain then shot toward them too, and she could see dark brown fur growing out of them and covering the skin. "What thehell?!" she shouted, as she also noticed her nails becoming long black claws. This caused the cuticles to bleed, also slightly staining her new claws and fur around it. Lynn Jr. grit her teeth in pain, but didn't make any noise as it was nothing compared to the stomach pains which felt like she had been stabbed there. The hair spread over her entire arms and the sleeves ripped, giving way to the growing muscle and fur. She gripped the left wrist with her right hand as if that would somehow stop it.

It obviously didn't. It felt as though her ears were being stretched like a rubber band as they became more triangular in the shape of wolf ears, and were covered in thick brown fur as well. The insides were a lighter brown, the same color as her hair."Guess Lori wasn't lying when she said puberty was ugly." she thought as the process continued, trying to lighten the mood a bit for herself. She noticed spots of blood coming from her mouth as well, her teeth suddenly aching more than the time she tried to beat all the other sisters (and brother) in a chocolate-eating contest. She came in at a close second and told herself she only lost due to the toothache. In first place was, surprisingly, the Queen of Darkness herself, Lucy. The soon-to-be wolfgirl was snapped back to the present as her teeth were becoming sharper and sharper, while at the same time her neck was covered in fur and a little mane had started to form.

Crack. The sound came from her back. More cracking was heard. To her horror and pain, her back was also changing, expanding to support the changes, including the fur and mane. Her shirt ripped some more, exposing some of her changed back. "Make it stop just make it STOP!" She frantically thought as her breathing got more rapid, due to her chest expanding as well, bringing even more pain.

Enough was enough. She had to get help, before it got worse. "Before this kills me." She was surprised at the grim thought. With all her strength she managed to stand on her feet, but as luck would have it, she wasn't able to take even one step before the pain shot to her legs and feet too, sending her to the floor again. The fall caused her to bang her elbow on the floor, but she ignored that. The same changes that she went through were also happening to her feet and legs, even ripping most of her sneakers and only leaving a tiny bit of material on what were now large paws. Her shorts were also ripped in various areas.

Hearing another tear she focused her attention away from the fur growing on her face. It was from where her tailbone was and that's when she noticed a furry tail growing there. "Is-I-I have a tail now?!" Her attention was focused back onto her face as her nose became a wet black dog nose. She also started growing a snout. This part was the most painful, even more painful than the stomach cramps from before. All of a sudden, however, she was no longer afraid, no longer in pain, and no longer wanting it to stop. It continued for a little, getting taller and such, but the changes were more so on her mind now. Now, she was enjoying the surge of power, getting stronger by the second. "How stupid was I to resist this... this gift?! This is amazing! I feel amazing!"

Meanwhile Lola was walking up the stairs, watching everything. "Umm... n-nevermind, I don't need the bathroom after all..." And with that she ran downstairs before the beast could spot her. It - no, she, ran into her room on all fours, stood up, and let out a howl. Then she jumped out of the open window.

The pageant queen wasted no time telling the others what she just saw. They were sitting on the couch again, though she noticed Lynn was missing. "For obvious reasons." "Guys guys! I-I was walking up the stairs, a-and I saw Lynn, and she- she was, she was changing into this... dog! She became a huge vicious dog!" Her voice was filled with panic and she was rushing to tell them everything. They stared at her in confusion for a full 30 seconds.

Luna was the first to speak up. "Um... what was that, little dude?" The rocker looked at her as if Lola had suddenly turned into her much more tomboyish twin. Charles jumped into Leni's lap. "Lynn, is that you?" she asked him. The dog was equally as confused as everyone else is. "No Leni, that's not Lynn," Lori told her younger sister. "And Lynn didn't turn into any other dog either." Lucy appeared behind the pink-clad girl, making the latter and everyone else yelp in surprise. Luna had jumped into Luan's arms. "So you're saying she's a werewolf?" Lucy asked. Regaining her composure, Lola replied with a blunt "Yes." Lisa decided to say something as she didn't want anyone to be suspicious, just in case. "Poppycock. Werewolves are simply mythological creatures, there is no way that our own sister is one." The child prodigy did her best to maintain her stoic expression but couldn't help her mouth slowly curving into another of her insincere grins. Lucky for her nobody noticed this.

"Yes they are, Lisa. Just because you haven't seen one doesn't mean they don't exist." Lucy replied, maintaining her monotonic voice but with a hint of annoyance laced within. Lisa simply grunted in response, believing she put in enough input to keep her out of the clear. "Look, maybe you just read or saw something and you got scared and that somehow led to, well, this. How about you sit with us and you could feel better?" Lincoln asked, and scootched over, offering a spot for her. In truth, she knew she knew she probably wouldn't feel better until Lynn was back to normal, but she wasn't getting anywhere with them so she did so without saying a word. Besides, her favorite show, "Dream Boat", was on.

Lisa was just sitting there, no longer really paying attention to what was on the screen and instead was stewing in her thoughts. "So my potion really worked? She probably escaped outside by now though... and if I leave they'll get suspicious. I can't even cover it up by saying I'll be heading to the lavatory, because they know I don't use it. Or at least, a certain male sibling and Lucy know, due to when they asked me about the toilet clogging all those months ago. She won't transform until next month if it did work. If I want quicker results I'll just have to make another one. Didn't take too long for the first one anyway, but I'll have to be more careful this time. Actually you know what, maybe it doesn't just have to be lycanthrope data. I wonder if I could make other beasts with it..."
