Preparing the outfits and preparing for sleep [Nick's PoV]

After setting up a TV for the pets to enjoy I decided to go upstairs and play some mobile games again.

I needed some time alone. Despite quickly getting used to the situation seeing my parents acting like pets was still freaking me out inside. I get that this is a test, but I also realise that they are having a bit of fun at my expense.

After about half an hour Chip showed up in the door-frame. Funny how somehow I already got got used to referring to my Dad by his pet name. Is that some sort of coping mechanism?

He barked to get me out of my thoughts and raised his paw, and motioned with the other one, sliding one over another.

Right toilet time. That trigger is thankfully working. I take of Nick’s paws, and he scurries off.

*thud*, I hear Chip falls back to the ground. He walks back up to me.

As I’m putting back Chip's paws.

Chip: “So about tomorrow…. here are the exceptional rules - let's call then Cinderella exceptions:

• We still have to wear some sort of collars and tags with our name on them - although we'll leave up to you their size, type ... and placement.

• Both of us also have to wear tail-plugs.

• We’d like you to add a hypnosis trigger for us both. We'll both be back to Human at 5:30 PM but at midnight we go straight back to being dogs... regardless of where we are.

• Oh and you’ll need to pick out the rest of our outfits.”

“Ah...cool...cool cool cool” Whoa didn’t see that coming, Thought we would just be our normal selves for one night. But they seem determined to keep the dog theme going. The hypnosis too.

“ah… OK… that sounds doable… And Mom is fine with this?”

“The hypnosis part was her idea. She seems to be really enjoying that.”

“OK. I’ll give you the new Cinderella dog trigger tomorrow.”

He gives a happy *woof* and goes back downstairs.

"All right!" I made my way to the master bedroom immediately and started searching through their clothes. I snap my finger and run downstairs to find them.

"Dad, I mean, Chip!" I sighed and started over. "Chip. For the collar rule. Can any accessory work as long as it has your pet names on it?" The gears were already starting to turn in my head.

I see them nod. "Oh hell yeah!" I'm running back upstairs, only doing a double-back to rewind a bit their tv series that I interrupted and start laying out the outfits.

For Chip - it's a simple polo shirt and khaki pants. And his "collar" was a belt. I found one with a buckle with nothing on it so I simply wrote Chip on it.

"I just hope the tail isn't super long. Someone would definitely notice it then. Or I could pass it off as my parents being furries. Which isn't as bad". I thought to myself.

For Daisy - I found a floral dress for her to wear along with some nice heels. I leave a hat out as well, but decide it can be optional. As for her collar... "I know it isn't exactly her style, but I'm working with what I've got." I say to myself as I put down a choker necklace. I can write Daisy on the front of it and hope that people will think it's a part of the fit. The dress should be long enough to hide a tail.

Once I figure it out and lay everything down I grin to myself and sigh. "This may just work. At least I hope it does."

Just as I finish I can hear barking and come down - only to be dragged into a pet-room.

They crawl into their dog beds, "Good night pets!" and closing the door behind me.

I notice that in contrast to other door handles in the room this one is round and requires certain **** to turn around ... and it's lockable from the outside ... interesting. I make a mental note of that.

I let out a sigh of relief when the dogs went to bed. I didn't stick around to potentially hear them going at it and instead quickly made my way to my room. I threw myself onto the bed and it wasn't long before I was in a deep sleep. The day had been exhausting, not physically, but mentally.

I fell asleep the moment my head hit the pillow.
