Authoress' Note: This story is also side-written by my friend, Sara-Darkotter. She wanted me to mention that. Now, onto the story!
Her body starts to feel strange, twisting and moving. "Here...it comes...!"
She screams. And then it's over. She opens her eyes.
And when she does, she jumps in shock. Everything got bigger.
"She's a baby dragon!"
"Eheheh. Of course. She's how old? Sixteen? Seventeen?"
"Sixteen."
"Exactly. Dragons aren't full-grown till their forties or later."
As Tèa observes her new body, she is a beautiful snow white with sparkling ocean blue wings.
Yami picks her up. "Who's a pretty dragon? Eh?"
This is embarrassing, but kinda nice. She tries to speak, but it comes out as squeaks and trills.
"Aww! How cute!"
"Yami, that's your girlfriend, not a puppy."
She leans in, sniffing him. He smells nice. 'Like...I don't know...'
"She acts like one though. Don't see how's she adorabl-" A jet of flame comes Cari's way. Then an angry hiss. "Er-Okay." She gives a low growl, glaring at her brother. Then huffs out a puff of smoke. "I get it!" He ducks behind their father.
She purrs, nuzzling Yami under the chin.
"She's still cute though." Yami pets her muzzle. She purrs more, licking at his fingertips. "I guess she likes that."
Maggie smiles. "Eheheh. Now put her down. I need to teach her how to shift back."
And once set back on the grassy ground, Maggie begins. "Concentrate. Visualize being human and block out everything else. It may be hard at first, but you'll get eventually."
Tèa closes her eyes... 'Think of human, think of human...' Other thoughts try to wander in. But she blocks them as quick as possible. Then suddenly her muscles are sore.
"It worked."
It did? She opens her eyes. When she checks herself over, she is, in fact, human. Down to the last inch.
"Look out though. Even as a person, those canines are sharp."
Blinking in curiosity and puzzlement, she opens her mouth and runs her tongue over one. It pricks her. "Mm!" She claps a hand over her mouth again, cringing.
"Bit your tongue?"
She nods. "But if I get hiccups again, will I still...have such problems? I mean, will I still randomly transform?
"Nope. You'll be fine. Unless you have a fever. Then you can worry."
"A fever? Why?"
"Oh, human bodies already over react during those things. You're a creature of fire, like most dragons, so it'll turn you into one so it burn out the fever that way."
"I see. Well, at least now my hiccups are-Hic!" No fireball. Just a tiny flame.
"Wow."
"Huh? Where'd they go?"
"Aw. No pyrotechnics."
As he says this, she gives a big hiccup. Fireball heads skyward! She slaps a hand over her mouth. "...Excuse me..."
They all laugh.
Tèa blushes again, giving one last hiccup. "Think they're-"
"Don't say it, you'll jinx us."
Téa just nods. But as for her brother, the pyro-lover wasn't satisfied.
"Touch her and die, Cari." Yami snatches Téa away.
"Uh! Yami!"
"Excuse me for being protective." His arm circled her waist. And as he does this, she blushes, but purrs. Her dad looks at him, and Cari just gets a deadpan look. Tommy is implacable.
Once back inside, she flops back on the couch, Yami taking a place next to her. "That was exhausting..."
"Yeah..." He leans back, sighing. As he glances at her belly, he snickers. "Suddenly, you're flat stomached. Why don't you go eat?"
"What?" She looks at him. "Again?"
"You look cute that way."
"Mmm." She rolls over. "I thought you didn't like it and my hiccupping."
"I doubt there'll be more hiccups for a while."
"But you never know."
"Just wanna sleep."
"Mmm..."
And while the two nap, the world moves around them. Cari takes photos, Yugi-worried because Yami hadn't picked up his phone, 'aw's over the sight and things just generally happen.
A few hours later, they wake up when Téa falls off the couch. "Ouch...!"
"Huh? Oh. You..." he yawns. "okay?"
She sits up with a whimper, rubbing her backside. "Yeah..."
"Yami should be heading home. It's ten o'clock."
"Wha...Okay..." He stumbles up.
"I'll drive him." Mark offers.
"Where're Tommy and-"
"Tommy went home."
Tea sighs sadly. "And I didn't even get to say goodbye..."
"Eh. He'll be back."
Later that night, she stares at the ceiling. The naps made it hard to sleep, Yami's probably not, and her muscles still feel weird from earlier. She wished she could soak in a hot bath. But she didn't want to risk waking her family. "Yup...Gonna be a long night."
Come morning, she's awake, and tired. She's the first up, but the last in the bathroom so she can have that wanted bath. And as she turns the water on, pouring the bubblebath in, she begins to relax already. Once in the tub, it's like her muscles dissolved. Warm and comfortable. She lets the water lap over her. And as she lay there soaking, she smiles as she runs her fingers through the warm water, playing with the foamy bubbles as well. 'This feels nice...'
There's a knock on the door. "Hey. Sis. Breakfast in ten minutes."
"Be right out, Cari."
"Take all the time you need."
Once she hears him walk away, she leans up and pulls the plug, letting the water drain as she rinses herself off and gets out. And once dressed, she heads downstairs to eat. "Ooh! Oatmeal!"
"Don't gulp it down." Tèa gives a sarcastic laugh in response. "No really. We want to keep the table, Tè tè." Cari said, eating his own.
A soft growl of annoyance. "Look, I have it all under control, okay?"
"Igetitdon'tkillme." He says fast. She sighs.
After breakfast, she stands and calls work.
"No, you were ill yesterday. Fevers are still contagious twenty-four hours after. Stay home." Her boss told her.
She sighs. Maybe Yami. As she's dialing his number, her phone rings. Yami.
"Hi!"
"Yami? Why are you calling so soon?"
"I thought it'd be a good idea. Ok, actually, Marie was messing with my phone, and managed to get into my contacts and all and... Yeah."
"The accidental ploy. I see"
"Heh. Little kitten does all sorts of thing-Get off of the curtains!"
"Maybe you should get her declawed."
"That's cruelty. Like removing the first joint of your fingers."
"Then buy her some toys or a scratching pad."
"I'm going to. As soon as I get her off the curtains."
"You want any help with her? I won't be going to work today...My boss still thinks I am ill..."
"That'd be nice..."
"I wish I could show her. Unless I start sneezing again, then... I still wonder what caused it before as we were leaving..."
"It's a restaurant. Pepper everywhere."
"But I was nowhere near it. Unless my sense of smell has also strengthened."
"It probably has. Dragons can do odd things. NOT THAT YOU'RE ODD!"
"Uh!" She bursts out laughing. "Oh, Yami, relax! Hmm...but I wish we could test it..."
"We can do that! Marie, stop bugging Yugi!"
She giggles. "I'll be over in a few minutes."
"Thank yo-Ack!"
The phone hung up.
"Yami? Yami!" She sighs. "That kitten."
