I felt pain around my body. I think I was lying down.. in grass? I slowly opened my eyes as light poured into my pupils. I squinted but adjusted quickly. I looked around and saw the blue sky, dirt, and grass. Where am I? How am I outside when I was inside? Shouldn't it be cold? I tried to sit up but quickly fell down. This.. this didn't feel right.. I tried again but failed. I looked at my han- wait, paws?! I yelped in surprise. I noticed that there were orange leafs around my.. paws. That's when I realized.. I'm inside the game! How is that possible?! As I freaked out, I needed to know more about why I was here. I tried to sit up again, more slowly. I adjusted my paws and my back legs, achieving to lie upright. I had more to view and noticed my den with the same items as on the game. I turned to my left and almost fell sideways again as I saw a black and white fox beside me, lying sideways on the grass. It can't be.. Krystal?! I slowly tried to stand up this time and wobbled as I got onto my paws. I took my first step towards her. Then my second. And third. Hmm, this isn't as bad as I thought. I just need to get more use to it. I turned my head down to look at my friend lying on the grass. I'm guessing she pushed the agreement button as well.. I carefully took my right paw and touched her chest. I tried waking her up, repeating her name over and over. Suddenly, she woke up in a jolt. She tried standing up but just like me, she fell right back down.
"What happened!? Why is there a fox in my room!? Wait, this isn't my room, where am I?!" Krystal yelped, flailing her paws to sit up.
"Calm down Krystal! You're in the game! It's me, Sarah!" I said loudly, trying to calm her down.
Krystal stopped and looked up to me.
"Wait.. Sarah?" She said quietly. She slowly looked at her paws and started freaking out again.
I sighed and hit Kystal in the face as she stopped flailing.
"Yes, it's me. I-I don't know how this happened or why we are our avatars.." I said to Krystal, who stared at me with her frightened gray eyes.
"Do you think it was.. the website? I felt a s-shock that came from my computer.." She said, shivering at her thoughts.
"Yea, it shocked me too.. I feel that the website is the one behind all this, transformation.." I said, realizing it was the website all along.
"I mean, it's shocking but.. I'm kinda digging this." She said quietly, a smile slowly spreading across her face.
"Uhhh, what do you mean?! We were just turned into our avatars without finding a way to go back to our world and you actually like this?!" I yelled, surprised.
Krystal slowly got up, wobbling. After she adjusted, she faced me carefully.
"I mean, I've always wanted to be a wolf or fox. I think it's kinda cool. I mean, when will we ever get this opportunity again?" She said smiling, her eyes glowing.
"Well.. I guess being an animal is cool.. but it's still weird." I said, uneasy about becoming an animal.
"Come on, lift your spirit up." She said as she jumped up and down. I was amazed she could control her new body so well. "Speaking of turning into an animal, can't foxes dig? Ooo! We should try dancing too! Maybe even go to jamaa township!"
"Well, I guess that sounds kinda fun. I wonder if the other animals are going to be controlled by real people outside the animal jam world?.. or transformed like us?.." I questioned, wondering how the animals would act.
"Yea, I guess that's true." She wondered out loud. "But let's stop thinking about that, let's start thinking about fun and what we will do in the game!"
"Yea ok. I guess the first thing that pops up in my head is digging as a fox." I said, heading straight to digging.
It was amazing how easy it was to dig into the rough dirt! I guess this isn't as bad as I thought. I kept digging until I was fully into the hole.
"Wow, that looked so easy the way you did it! Hey look, the hole is disappearing!" Krystal yelled from above.
I looked behind my in confusion and sure enough, the hole I dug up behind me disappeared. Well isn't that some dark magic shit.
"Hey, when are you going to come out?" Krystal once again yelled from above.
I smirked as I planned to surprise her from behind. I began to dig upwards and as planned, I was behind her. I popped my head out of the hole and as I was going to scream to scare here, I noticed something usual and shocking. A vulva under her tail. This can't be true! Animal Jam doesn't allow that! I sunk down into my hole and looked down at my private parts. I gasped and bumped my head on the ceiling. I had a sheath and a pair of balls covered in fur. How is this possible that I changed gender?! That's when I realized and groaned. My avatar has male eyes, it must be why I have male genitals.
"Hey, what's going on down there? What happened?" Krystal said behind me where I dug the hole, scaring the life out of me.
I looked up and smiled weakly. " I-I though the ceiling would collapse." I stuttered, making up the lie.
"Oh, I guess I shouldn't be worried." She grinned, showing her canines.
There was a long awkward pause.
"Sooo are you getting out or what? I want to go explore jamaa and probably meet other animals." Krystal said.
I slowly got out of the hole, covering my member with my long bushy tail. I'm actually glad I turned into a fox instead of an animal with a short tail. Krystal stared at me as I got out with a puzzling look.
"What's wrong? Did you hurt yourself or something?" She questioned.
"N-no, I just.. hurt my paw while digging. Guess I was too over exciting." I said, choosing my words carefully.
"Huh. Ok then." She said, still a little concerned.
"Well, let's go explore then!" I said, trying to excite her and get her to ignore my "damaged" paw.
"Alright! I'm glad you're getting excited too!" She said happily. She bounded away and into the path outside my den terrain.
"Y-yea, let's go.." I said to myself. I padded slowly to the exit, covering myself with my bushy tail
