The Second Challenge: Pink, Red and White

Aubrey found herself in a run down trailer park. She was glad they got that warning about going back to Earth. She grabbed a cloak when she heard that and had the hood pulled up. It was black which she didn’t care for but it was hard to find a nice pink cloak. This place is a dump. Is… Is that feces? Gross. Who the hell lives here. I don’t have time to waste. I got maybe an hour before I’m only able to baa. Aubrey walked towards the run down RV unit. When a man she recognized stepped out. OH I’m SO going to enjoy this. Let’s make sure this fucker can’t touch me first. Oh god is… is he urinating outside? What the fuck? As soon as the man finished his business she waved her wand and he froze. She then walked up behind the man.

In a menacing voice. “Hello Barney. I always thought your name was stupid you know. How does it feel? To be helpless?” Aubrey waved the wand so he could move his mouth but not speak above a soft voice.

“Why can’t I move? What did you do to me? Who are you?”

“Magic, magic, and someone who knows the horrors you’ve committed.”

“Talking to my brats I see. Those no good whelps don’t know the first thing about family. Won’t even—”

Aubrey had enough and silenced him again. She was furious. Every cruel and vicious thing this man had done to Chloe, to her girlfriend and to her family ran through Aubrey’s mind. She wanted to take vengeance for her girlfriend. “Ah, peaceful silence.” Out of nowhere a thought came to her mind: ‘What would the others think? I don’t want to disappoint them.’ Chloe would want me too. That should be all that matters. But would Mark be disappointed in me if I destroyed him? Chloe said she told him what her father had done. Surely he would understand. What about everyone else? They forgave me but they were clear they wouldn’t be as forgiving for another screw up… “Barney, I'm going to let you speak in a moment. When I do you better be smart enough to keep your mouth closed unless I ask you a question. I’m trying real hard not to do something stupid, because of how much I hate you.” Aubrey allowed him to speak again but also **** him to tell the truth if he decided to speak. “Do you regret any of what you did to your children?”

“Yeah. I regret allowing that bitch Chloe to stay under my roof for as long as I did. Ungrateful cunt.”

“Don’t talk like that about my girlfriend!” Aubrey hissed in his ear.

“HA, so she’s a dyke to boot.”

“Wow you are a moron aren’t you Barney? You can’t move and you are insulting the person who keeps taking away and restoring your voice. Now you got any good reason I shouldn’t totally fuck up your life, beyond repair?”

“Like you have the stones. You’d fuck your own ass as much as mine.”

“You know what you aren’t worth it” Aubrey said.

“Told you. Just a little bitch. Say hi to my, dyke of a daughter, I’ll be sure to file charges against you both for this.”

Aubrey waved her wand, as she spoke to Barney. “No you aren’t going to be doing anything to your kids ever again. You will go and confess to each and every significant crime you’ve committed to the police and turn over the evidence of your wrong doing. Then you will forget about your family. Anytime anyone mentions them you will forget. You will never contact them again. You will never lay your hands on another person in **** again. You will never speak of or remember this encounter again either once I’m gone. Good riddance you sack of shit. Just be glad I have people I care about that I think would judge me harshly for doing worse to you.” Just like that Aubrey vanished and he could move again, unfortunately for Barney he had done a lot of illegal things and he didn’t know why but he felt like he just had to tell the cops.

Aubrey found herself outside a visitor center in the Rockies. Luckily for her it was pouring rain outside, which made having the cloak on not seem odd. She hurried inside to find her target. She found a small group of people waiting inside. Hmm none of these. Probably a ranger, connected to Flora. She was proven correct a moment later as a young woman in her mid twenties came out of an office. Okay her name is Clara, she has been Flora’s colleague for two years. Flora thinks she’s hot, but doesn't want the only person she is even remotely friends with to cut ties with her. That’s it? Really Cassandra?

Clara spoke up, “I just want to let everyone know that the weather is supposed to get a lot worse and the road out is blocked by a boulder at the moment. So please remain here, the weather will pass in a couple of hours. Afterwards we have a team to remove the boulder from the road. Please don’t make me have to go out in this to rescue one of you. If you need anything or have questions I’ll be in my office here. Water and snacks will be brought out in a little bit.” Clara went back into her office.

Aubrey didn’t want to waste time and so went and knocked on the door. Aubrey could hear a sigh even through the door and a weary “Come in.” After entering Aubrey received a “Yes Miss? Can I help you? Also could you remove your hood?”

Aubrey was glad the office didn’t have windows to the lobby. She pulled back her hood. “Clara please don’t scream, it would make things rather awkward.”

“You have horns… and how do you know my name?”

“A mutual friend and yes, quite observant I have horns.”

“I’m certain if I had any friends that knew a blonde with horns they would have told me. Who’s our alleged mutual friend?”

“Flora Sparrow.”

“Flora doesn’t have friends. She barely considers me a friend. She’s a loner and likes it that way.”

“We are recent friends.”

“Bullshit, I talked to her a few days ago before she went out to examine a blighted area. Unless you are saying you met her out in the forest.”

“That isn’t that far off actually. We’re getting off track. Clara, I'm here for a reason. I’m not going to overly explain my situation but I can’t afford to place poorly again in this competition I’m being **** to participate in. Now I’m willing to work with you if you will cooperate.”

“Lady, you're talking nonsense.” Clara got up and moved towards the door to open it, but as she reached for the handle Aubrey’s hair wrapped around her wrist. “What the Hell! Oh God, you're a demon.”

“No I’m not.” Aubrey released Clara from her hair. “Please sit back down, Clara. We wouldn’t want to get others needlessly involved would we.”

Clara complied. “O-Okay. You said you wanted my cooperation for a competition of some kind?”

“Yes. Please understand I am being **** into this to some degree. I could just walk away from you completely but I’m pretty sure I would suffer negative consequences from doing that. Consequences that gave me these baaaa… horns and need to bleat, in some circumstances. In short I’m supposed to transform you into something the viewers of this competition would enjoy. As a note the changes would be permanent. Like my own.”

“You’re not going to make me like a goat or something are you?”

“No, but I should tell you the competition revolves around me competing for a spot in a harem. I don’t like it but it's not my choice. If you tell me how you’d like to be transformed I’ll just do that.”

“And if I refuse?”

“Do so and find out.”

Clare stared at Aubrey for a bit. “So, are there any limits?”

“Yes, but I doubt you would hit them.”

“Can you make it so Flora finds me attractive? I’ve been trying to drop hints but she’s sort of dense.”

“I could but you should know she’s involved in this competition, has a girlfriend in addition to the guy we are all supposed to be with and doing that could make you more likely to be pulled into the competition as a contestant yourself.”

“Oh… so I missed my chance with her.”

“Maybe, maybe not. Just thought you should know.”

“Wait seriously? You think there would still be a chance for me to be with her?”

“I mean she has two partners, why not three?”

“In that case, can you make me her type? I know she’s attracted to women but it doesn’t seem like she’s attracted to me.”

“Oh Clara, you naive girl. Flora thinks you’re hot. I wasn’t given much info about you but that was included. Still want me to make you more her type?”

“Yes please.”

Aubrey shrugged, and waved the wand. Make her Flora’s type of woman. Clara went from light brown hair to vibrant red, it became wavy and shoulder length. Her waist narrowed and her hips slightly increased, she gained slightly more muscle definition and about three inches in height. Then her breasts expanded six cup sizes making her rather large. Her eyes change color slightly from a pale green to an emerald green. Then Clara felt the mental changes. She felt more confident and forward. More willing to go for what she wanted. She felt feisty.

“Okay now this is actually really nice. Can I ask for two more things?” Aubrey nodded. “Can you make it so people don’t notice a difference? I mean that they won’t freak out?” Aubrey nodded. “Great. Next can you make it so all my clothes fit?”

“Sure.” Aubrey waved her wand to grant both requests. She smirked though all Clara’s clothes would fit, they just wouldn’t be substantially less revealing. Then Aubrey vanished.

Aubrey found herself on a couch. A couch she knew well. Oh this is going to be fun. Her target was approaching her and the front door to the apartment she was in. Her target opened the door and her brother walked inside. “Aubrey! It’s great to see you! Wait… why are you wearing a set of horns and have a wool collar and cuffs? Doing some sort of sheep get up?” Aubrey stood up and smiled. He put down his laptop bag and went over to give Aubrey a hug. Which was when she cleared two items off her to do list she had Freya keeping track of for her. As she punched him in the face and then kneed him in the groin and pushed him onto the couch.

“That’s for breaking your pinky promise to me.”

He moaned in pain for a second. “What the fuck sis? Which promise? What are you talking about?”

“I know damn well you kept flirting with guys I’m interested in and then when they reject you, you try to set them up with me. YOU PROMISED YOU WOULD STOP! Senior year of high school, remember Alex?”

“Yeah…” Alex said, rubbing his cheek and leaning to the side in mild pain. Aubrey reached out with her hair and wrapped it around Alex and then sang the healing hymn. “The pain is gone.”

“I’m not a baaaa Alex. You’re still my annoying little brother.”

“We’re the same age and I’m taller than you. But how did you do that with your hair and the glowing with the singing? It's like out of that Disney movie. Also what’s with the baaing”

“Apparently it’s exactly that. Now I want an explanation. Because I know you kept doing it considering I’m dating a guy you kissed now, and then when he rejected you, you tried to set him up with me.”

“Wait really? Why are you upset then, if I succeeded in steering him your way. I didn’t think you would go for Brett though.”

“Brett… as in Brett Jackson?” Aubrey asked suspiciously.

Alex realized that Aubrey might not be dating Brett by her tone. “Umm… Noooooo…”

“God Damnit Alex baaa is your problem seriously. Why do you keep doing this?”

“Aubrey, I swear I’m not trying to mess with your love life.”

“Then what are you trying to ba… do?”

“I’m trying to help you find a guy okay. We also just happen to have very similar tastes in men.”

“I don’t believe you.”

“It’s the truth.”

“Fine, you know what?” Aubrey pulled out her wand. “Let’s find out.” Alex cannot tell a falsehood to me for the next hour and will answer any question I ask him. “Why do you keep trying to set me up with guys after they reject you?”

“Assuming they reject me because they aren’t into men. It’s because I think you would find them attractive and I know you want a family badly and I’m really trying to help.”

“Why do you keep doing it when you know I hate it and you promised to stop?”

“Because I wish I was in your position. I wish it was so easy to get a guy to be interested in me as you have it. I don’t hate you Aubrey I’m envious of you. I keep doing it… well because I’m trying to live vicariously through you.”

“What…” Aubrey said in a dead pan tone.

“I’m envious of you. Aubrey we both love pink, we both like nice clothes, getting our hair done, shopping. Seriously think about how many things we did together in high school. You know the difference though. You got hit on and asked out by most of the guys. I got stuff in lockers, got my head stuffed in toilets and had slurs lobbed at me. I WISH I had it as good as you.”

Aubrey took a deep breath. Then through gritted teeth. “Alex… I was kidnapped and **** to baaaaaa… compete in an interdimensional reality show. Where the premise is ba win the affection ba ba… of an old acquaintance. During which I am going to continue ba ba… to be transformed to fit his desires. You know how you mentioned me wanting a baaaaa… family. You know how much I want kids. The thought of having children with literally baa other person isn’t just disappointing, it is repulsive to me. If I can’t have his children, I won’t have them. The bleating that’s baaaaaa… because I’m a sheep-girl now. My breasts fill with milk and when they get too full I baaaaaa. I also can’t even milk myself. Did I mention that some of the baaaa people competing for his affection include, Chloe, Laura, his fiancée, along with another six women. I feel like baaa’a… That’s important. So please tell me again how you wish you had it as good as me.”

“Okay, that sucks. I didn’t know all that, but that’s also insane and you couldn’t reasonably have expected me to know that. Are you okay?”

“BAAAA!... No. I’m constantly on edge because things haven’t been going well for me. I’m currently in a baaaaaaaa… challenge. I’m supposed to transform you for the ‘entertainment’,” Aubrey sneered that word, “of the audience. Of course outside of being a bunch of perverts I don’t have much to work on what will actually make them happy.”

“Transform me how…”

“Almost anything I can think of.”

“Why are you even going along with this?” Alex asked.

“Two reasons first is if I get eliminated I’m likely just going to become Mark’s broodmare, and milk producer. I’ll be essentially an animal to knock up and feed his kids nothing more.”

“That’s horrific. What sort of monster would want that from a woman.”

“Mark doesn’t want that. He very much does not want that. That’s one of the sticks they use. The other is if I get eliminated, someone I care about will replace me.”

“You mean me?” Alex asked skeptically.

“No. I mean Sasha and Selina. Probably both of them as one contestant.”

“Oh… shit.”

“Yeah.”

“Okay hit me then.”

Aubrey looked at him and smirked, “Tempting, oh so tempting.”

“I meant with the magic wand.”

“I know but it’s nice to hear you say aloud what I hear when I see your face sometimes.”

“Ha. Ha. Seriously though this is a challenge right? I’m guessing there are downsides for performing poorly in this. So use the wand.”

“Really?”

“Yes really Aubrey. I love you Aubrey. I love all three of my sisters. If I can help then I want to. Also you said his name was Mark right? This wouldn’t happen to be Mark Garret from undergrad would it? You know… the guy I noticed you looking up on social media a year or two ago. To see if he was perhaps single…”

“Shut up Alex! So what can I change?”

“I don’t know. What’s available?”

“Your imagination.”

“Wait seriously?”

“Yes. Why?”

“Can you make me a woman?”

“Huh? Wait... Alex, are you trans?”

“No. But if you can make me a woman who is okay being a woman. That’s fine with me. Between being a gay man and a straight woman, I think I would prefer the latter. Then I can actually just enjoy all the things we like doing together and not be made fun of.”

“I will have you know that plenty of people make fun of or harass me for being a girly girl.”

“Yeah and I’ve seen how you handle that. If I did what you did I could get shot. Literally shot.”

“Alex… I don’t know. You realize this is permanent. There is absolutely no going back. What about our family?”

“Make it so I was born your twin sister then. That should take care of the dysphoria issue too, and give me all the experience to actually live as a woman.”

Aubrey breathed in a deep breath and pinched the bridge of her nose. “Okay there is one more reason I’m hesitant to do this.”

“What?”

“The person who runs this has already indicated you could be brought into the harem.”

“Mark is bi? He said he was straight.”

“Oh he’s straight. He’s also a bit of a pervert. You would have been made a woman if you were added to the harem. If I do this I feel like it might become more likely you get added, not less.”

“Hmmm… Mark is the one from your service org right? The tall guy, dark hair, semi-muscular?”

“Yes, but he’s more muscular now.”

“This is a sacrifice I’m willing to make. Just make me a hot woman. I don’t know, give me big tits, since I see yours have increased in size I bet that would go well.”

“Alex…”

“Aubrey, just do it. You said you were struggling. If I get brought on whatever. I’ll be able to help you more directly then.”

“Have you considered how different our lives would be if you were born female?”

“Can you make it so everyone treats it as if I was born that way and remembers me having always been a woman, instead of changing our history then? Then give me the knowledge and skills to be a woman.”

“You are sure?”

“Yes.”

Aubrey sighed and waved her wand. Big titted twin sister coming right up. Oh and let’s make her blonde to match. “There you go. Alex, how do you feel?”

“Fine, I think. I see you made me blonde like you. I like it. Also it’s Alexis now.”

“Okay Alexis, welcome to womanhood. I truly hope that you don’t join the harem.” Aubrey hugged her now sister goodbye. She vanished and found herself in the auditorium again, not wanting to visit her other family, after that awkwardness.

Allie and Isabella found themselves outside of Allie’s place of employment. Allie sighed. “Okay so this is probably Derrick. I mean I guess it could be my boss or someone else but I’m guessing it’s Derrick.”

Isabella asked, “You mean that incompetent guy you always complain about?”

“Yep him. honestly he’s nice enough, if he wasn’t so incompetent I might actually like the guy.”

“Let’s fix that then. Maybe give him something for his wife?”

“Husband, but sure. Just one thing.” Allie pointed up at the skyscraper that they were outside of and said, “He works on the eighteenth floor. Suggestions on how we get up there without being discovered as wolf-girls?”

“Well… I know the easy way but you will think it’s the hard way.”

“Oh no… please tell me you don’t mean.”

She did and Allie quickly found herself trudging up eighteen flights of stairs. Allie was breathing heavily. “Okay that was horrible.” Allie peeked through the small window and could tell that Derrick’s cubicle was just around the corner. “Here’s the plan.” Allie handed over the wand. “I lure him into your line of fire. You make him competent at his job, and give him his husband’s ideal penis. Nothing twisted, he's just dumb not an asshole.”

Allie left the stairwell and went to get Derrick. A minute later the two were at the coffee machines talking. Allie glanced over her shoulder at Isabella and nodded. Isabella waved the wand and performed the agreed upon transformations but also made it so anal sex was particularly pleasurable for him as well. Then Isabella had a thought. Cassandra said we could use these on people besides our target… In a snap decision Isabella adjusted her aim ever so slightly and targeted Allie. First let’s fix the breathing problem, whatever it is… Let’s give her a nice upgrade too. Allie’s skin cleared up completely, her lips appeared to have lipstick on them, and her breasts became slightly perkier, and her muscles slightly more toned.

Allie said goodbye to Derrick and quickly hurried back into the stairwell. Before she could say anything to Isabella they teleported.

They found themselves outside of a coffee shop. The first thing Allie did was snatch the wand back, and hissed. “Isabella what did you do to me? You changed me?!”

“Um… I’m sorry. I thought you wouldn’t mind. They were some fairly minor things. I thought you would appreciate them.”

“I have a problem with my girlfriend ‘improving’ me for her own tastes.”

“Let me explain please.” Allie sighed and motioned for her to continue. “First thing I did was fix your breathing problem. Then I just gave you a minor upgrade so you would look better for Mark. Seriously, it wasn't about what I wanted. I just thought if I could, why not help you a little bit. I just cleared up your skin, gave you perfect makeup for whatever you are wearing, perkier breasts and made you slightly fitter. That’s it I didn’t increase your breast size or anything like that.”

“I’m still upset you didn’t ask me first.”

“Okay how about you use it on me then?”

“Really?”

~Pop~

Cassandra appeared next to them and it appeared like the rest of the world froze. She took the wand. “Sorry you two but slight oversight on my part. I set the wand so only a specific contestant could use them but made it so you could target any other person. Now Allie I’ll let you choose if you would like me to reverse the changes Isabella made or not. It’s an all or nothing deal.”

She sighed, “I’ll keep the upgrades.”

“Wonderful, so glad you are getting with the program. Here is the wand back you won’t be able to affect one another anymore. Also I’ll be adding a TF to your status page to describe the changes, in case you would like to further upgrade it later.”

~Pop~

The world resumed moving as if nothing had happened.

Isabella looked at Allie with remorse. “Seriously, I’m sorry I should have asked.”

“Yes, you should have.” Allie sighed. “But I also believe you that you were doing it to help me with Mark and not for your own benefit. Also I found our next target and I’m tempted to skip.” Allie pointed through the coffee shop window.

Isabella noticed someone at their laptop inside sipping coffee. “Oh.”

“Yeah. Don’t know how I feel about doing anything to Mark’s ex-girlfriend. He said they ended amicably and were still friends until he moved away. She still comments on our social media and seems nice.”

Isabella pulled out her phone and found they had internet. She pulled up google maps to find out where they were. “Hey Allie, did you realize we are like twenty minutes from your house?”

“Wait really? I did feel like this place was familiar. Hmmm okay that gives me an idea then.”

Allie went into the coffee shop and Isabella followed. They each ordered a drink. Allie whispered to Isabella, “Talk about my upcoming wedding and make sure to use Mark’s last name.” Then sat at the table next to Vespa. “I’m so glad you like the bridesmaid dress Isabella. What’s left to take care of. Mark has handled most things already.”

Isabella, seeing the idea here, asked, “Well Allie, have you decided are you keeping Asher or changing your last name to Garret.” Which got Vespa’s attention.

Vespa turned and looked at the pair and said, “Excuse me, Allie right? You wouldn’t happen to be the Allie marrying Mark Garret this July would you? I’m actually in town with a few friends from undergrad and we were all going to surprise Mark with a visit and congratulations.”

“Wait. What?” Allie said, feigning confusion. “Vespa? Is that you?”

“Oh good, I thought I might have made a mistake. Yes I’m Vespa. I assume you know about my history with Mark. I swear this isn’t anything to mess with your wedding. We are just here to congratulate him and you. That’s all.”

“I wasn’t worried about that, Mark told me the reason you two broke up.” The barista called out the drinks and Isabella went and grabbed them. “I know you're asexual. With Mark’s libido there is absolutely no way that would have worked out.”

“Ah, he told you… I guess I can’t hold that against him. As far as I know he didn’t mention it to any of our mutual friends. When we stop by, could you not bring that up? Most of the group doesn’t know.”

“Oh, sure.”

Isabella returned. Vespa continued, “I’m really happy Mark was able to find someone who can give him what he desires.”

Allie narrowed her eyes, as she noticed real affection and warmth in her tone. She could also smell something from her. “You said you weren’t here to mess with the wedding but it sounds like you still love him.”

Vespa was a little embarrassed. “Umm, could we not do this here?”

“Fine.” Allie stood up. “Let’s take your car to my place. Mark was going to pick the two of us up in a bit.”

Vespa nodded. The three went out and got in Vespa’s car. After she began driving she said, “Allie I swear I’m not here to reconnect with Mark. You're right I do still have feelings for him. Breaking up with him was hard for me too. I just knew things wouldn’t work because I really just have no physical attraction to him. He’s a great guy, and I’m happy for you two.”

Allie said, “Pull over and park.” Once she did, Allie pulled out her wand and pointed it threateningly at Vespa removing her hat as well. “Okay here’s the deal Vespa, you are going to shut up and listen. Right now shit’s weird in my life. See I’m in a competition where I have to compete for something, frankly I’ve already earned. Mark’s affection. We were kidnapped and **** into a competition for our position in Mark’s harem. So here’s the deal, and know, Mark is watching this. I’m supposed to transform you. I’ve decided I’m going to be doing that. I’m going to ask point blank, do you love him? Yes or no? None of this I still have feelings for him bullshit. Do you love him?”

Vespa sighed, “Yes.”

“Okay. Here’s the thing. I know Mark actually likes you, and finds you attractive still. I’m giving you a choice here and it is an A or B. Option A: You are going to fuck off out of our lives, and I will get rid of your attachment to Mark. I’m not dealing with this complication later if you aren’t serious about this. Option B: I can make it so you aren’t asexual.”

Vespa eyed the wand and then Allie’s wolf ears and she noticed Allie’s tail. “You’re speaking and acting like magic is real…”

“It is. Now I want you to understand. Option A: is the safe option. If you choose Option B: I think it is highly likely you will get kidnapped and brought into this shit. You will be in Mark’s harem and there will be no going back. As a note if you choose Option B: I’m making you attracted to women and Mark. That’s it.”

“And if I refuse, both options”

“You get Option A by default.”

“I just want to make sure I understand something here. You’re actually offering me the opportunity to be with Mark and you are okay with that?”

“The person hosting this shit already told us she is bringing in another woman this round. I’m willing to bet she is going to keep adding more. You say you love him. I’d rather have someone who might actually be okay with being with Mark instead of someone that barely knows who he is. So no, I'm not okay with it. I want you to pick Option A. But someone is likely going to be added anyway. If you want a shot, it might as well be you.”

“Why women as well as Mark?”

“You are going to share Mark if you get picked. Trust me you want to find women attractive.”

“Fine, give me Option B.”

Allie waved the wand. “Done. Bye Vespa, I’m betting you’ll see us again soon.” Allie and Isabella vanished from the car.

“Well, I’ll be damned. Magic is real.”

Isabella recognized the next location. “Okay Allie we are skipping this. He has a good life and I’m not messing with it. He doesn’t need improvements and wouldn’t like them. He is very pleased with who he is, okay?”

“If you say so.”

And the two teleported away from Javier’s home. Finding themselves back in the auditorium.
