Penelope makes things WORSE

"Alright. Now I need you to empty your mind of all invasive thoughts... listen to the sound of my voice..." Penelope spoke softly, her voice taking on a tone that was soothing to Texas's ears. "...All is calm... you are more calm than you've ever felt in your life... let all your cares melt away as you listen to the sound of my voice..."

Texas nodded, her eyelids becoming heavy. All of the initial anger she felt faded as she absorbed Penelope's words. In her brain, she envisioned herself standing in a void, ankle deep in a pool of clear water. Penelope's voice echoed all around her, bouncing along the sheriff's cleared mind. Her eyes reflected this shift in mindset as they became glassy and vacant.

"Excellent. Now... imagine yourself standing in a frozen tundra... it's so, so very cold... and you're standing there, stripped to the waist..." Her suggestions had their desired effect on the sheriff as she began shivering, her teeth loudly chattering as her mind perfectly played out the scene Penelope had painted.

"...You're so, so very cold... you feel yourself getting weaker and weaker, the cold sapping your strength and stealing the warmth from your body..."

Texas's body began to slumping, her breathing becoming haggard and her eyelids beginning to shut. Penelope nodded, pleased to see that her spell was properly taking hold. Now Texas was in the proper mindset to be properly treated.

"...You're minutes away from passing out from the cold when all of a sudden, you're wrapped up in the warmest, softest, most comfortable blanket ever... you're being squeezed and hugged on all sides, and your body is being completely protected by the cold..."

"W-warm..." Texas muttered, her shivering coming to a halt as she hugged herself tightly.

"Yes...! It's a special kind of warm, though... it's warmth of a loved one, protecting you from the horrible cold. Shielding you, hugging you, caring for you... as long as your wrapped in this blanket, you'll always be safe and happy... and you'll never be cold..."

"...love... warm..." Texas repeated, a blush forming on her face. Her vision self was as snug as a bug, her body completely encased in a velvety soft blanket. For some reason, the blanket in her vision was a distinct yellow...

"And now... you pull your head back and realize that you're not in a blanket at all. You're in the loving embrace of the woman who loves and cares for you more than anything else, Roxxie Roo!" Penelope said with a wide smile.

Shockingly, this revelation barely registered with Texas. By that point, she was far to entranced to questioned anything being told to her. Her vision self looked up to see the familiar sight of Roxxie's grinning face, though something was different. That face would normally trigger her flight-or-fight reflexes, but she felt no hostility as she met the roo's gaze. All she could feel was gratitude towards the outlaw for saving her from the cold...

"Yes, it's Roxxie. She has you nestled between her terrific tits, she's massaging your tired body between her flawless feet, and she has you tucked away in her big beautiful booty... This big sexy kangaroo is letting you explore every inch of her body and you love it. She's so big and strong and beautiful... and she's your lover..."

Texas's mouth now hung open, drool trickling out in a shameful display. She had many memories of facing off against Roxxie, and thought she came out on top in most of them, there were still moments here the roo got the better of her. She had been squashed, stepped on, and exposed to Roxxie's gassy derrière more times than anyone should ever have to. Those memories were radically recontextualized by Penelope's hypnosis. Moments that she once regarded with bitterness and shame now filled brought a smile to her face.

"Good. Now... when I snap my fingers, you won't ever feel ashamed of your feelings again. You won't spare a thought to any onlookers or naysayers and just be happy with the love of your life... I'm going to snap my fingers in three... two... one..."

*SNAP*

Texas blinked as her eyes came back to life. She groaned as she wiped the drool from her mouth. Her head ached a bit as she tried to collect her thoughts. Penelope frown at her discomfort and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Relax. Take a few deep breaths. It'll take a minute for the trance to fully wear off" she said calmly.

"Ah'm fine, it's just... feels like somebody poked mah brain with a salad fork er' somethin..."

"Like I said, it'll wear off sound. Aside from that, how do you feel?"

Texas raised a brow as she looked up at the hypnotist rabbit. That was an interesting question. How did she feel? She looked down at her hands for a moment as she processed her emotions. She no longer had a compulsion to beat Penelope within an inch of her life... in fact, she couldn't even remember why she was angry at the rabbit in the first place.

"Ah think... ah think ah feel better" she said softly.

"Excellent! I can't even begin to tell you how happy that makes me!" Penelope exclaimed as she wiped the sweat from her brow. "I was starting to think that I had lost my touch after the last blunder!"

"Well, ya did a bang up job this time around" Texas said with a smile as she stood up and stretched. "Ahh, now that ah think about it... ah feel great! Like huge weight's been lift off'a mah shoulders!"

She looked over to April and smiled. Her deputy was diligent in redirecting people from her and Penelope. In hindsight, the sheriff felt really foolish for tasking her with such a duty. She gave Penelope a polite tip of the hat before walking over to rejoin her partner.

"Catch you later, Texas! Feel free to come back any time!" Penelope called with a bright smile. From an outsider perspective, it appeared as though that the rabbit had acted maliciously, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Her major takeaway Texas's tirade was that she still had a long way to go when it came to developing her skills as a hypnotist. After all, Texas was supposed to be happy being with Roxxie! Satisfied with her work, the rabbit leaned back against her bag with as she walked Texas walk away with her deputy in tow.
