You Decline Elle's Offer

"Alright." Elle muttered with a shrug. "I'll finish the installation and let them know."

"Just... install it right." You grunted. "And they won't believe you."

"They don't need to. They just have to have any seed of doubt. And I'll install it perfectly, that is my job, you know."

"Whatever." You muttered, walking back inside and pulling up your phone. One press on Andrea's contact later, the call started.

"What's... what's wrong, Peter?" Andrea asked. "Is something wrong with the bath?"

"You mean the hot tub Drea." You muttered, hearing a squeak sneak out of Andrea's lips. "And no. It's more the person installing it that's the problem."

"What do you mean?"

"She came onto me, and I refused. She said she's gonna tell you we did it though." You explained. "Just giving you a heads up."

"Oh. Well... I'll believe you over her. Holy... I gotta go, Babe!" Andrea suddenly shouted, hanging up...

Meanwhile

"What's up?" Lucinda asked as Andrea hung up. "Is Peter okay?!"

"Yeah... is Tori okay?" Andrea asked with a gulp. Tori had channeled a doe just outside the last appointment spot and tried to run for it, and Lucinda helped by pinning her, and Tori's body had just almost gotten free. Apparently the doe had the need to flee from their sight, and instead of doing that immediately, she waited to he channeled before trying it.

"I'm not Tori! Now get off of me!" Tori's body shouted. The channeling had slimmed her down and added a few inches to her height, adding a cute small white deer tail that poked out of the top of her shorts.

"You'll run off to the woods if she does." Andrea muttered. "And like I said, that wasn't a gun, my car just misfired."

"Read her memories." Lucinda suggested with a smile. "I'm not a human either, so you can trust me."

"You're not... that's true." Tori's body muttered. "Tori had to help me..."

"Yep! Now, you see all those memories of that nice guy, right?" Lucinda asked.

"Pete... yeah."

"Lucinda, what are you-"

"Quiet, Andrea." Lucinda ordered. "Now, you want to go see Peter, don't you? Your new body wants to, doesn't it?"

"It does."

"Now, you'll need a name, won't you? How about... just Doe?" Lucinda asked, getting off of Tori's transformed body...

Back At The House, A Bit Later

"All installed!" Elle chirped, coming into the house, still without a top. "Now, you haven't changed your mind, have you?"

"No." You grunted, your front door opening up as you did.

"Long story." Andrea mumbled as she walked in and flopped down on the couch.

"I missed you Peter!!" Nessa's voice shouted as her body ran in and right over to you, wrapping her arms around you. "It's Lucinda!"

"Okay... what are you-"

"Pete? You look taller in person..." Tori's voice muttered as her head peeked around the front doorway.

"She's my new friend, Doe! Creative name, I know." Lucinda chirped. "We picked her up on our way back, so Tori's appointments are all taken care of! Now, we have tonight all... who's that?"

"Elle." Elle chirped, a sinister grin on her face. "Your boyfriend just bent me over and-"

"Cool. You joining us tonight?" Lucinda interrupted. "Andrea said we have a hot tub now, and I've never-"

"Did you hear me?!" Elle shouted. "I had sex with Peter!"

"And?" Lucinda asked with a shrug. "He can do it with anyone as long as he remembers me."

"I didn't actually have sex with her, by the way." You mumbled.

"Why not? I don't care." Lucinda said casually. "She's not your type?"

"You're crazy..." Elle muttered. "You're seriously not angry?"

"Trust me, when you deal with cha... people like these two, it's not that weird." Andrea said from the couch. "The hot tub's all set up, right?"

"So... what's your opinion on being a human?" You asked, basking in the hot water.

"Good... only having two legs is weird though." Doe answered quietly. "When do I have to leave Tori exactly?"

"Whenever you want, if you want to before 24 hours." Andrea answered with a content grin on her face. "Ahh... this is nice."

"It'll be safe around the house when you're a deer again. If you wanna just hang around here instead of some woods. " You said, putting your arm around Lucinda. "There's no hunters out here until the Fall. And poaching isn't common around here."

"What about meeeeee?" Lucinda chirped, scooting closer to you. "Can I stick around?!"

"You're going back to your field again." You answered with a sigh. "But I did have an idea you might like."

"What's that?" Lucinda asked.

"Tori suggested we turn a few acres into a 'rehab center' of sorts for some farm animals. You know, broken legs and stuff. We could probably fit in a certain cow as a permanent resident though." You said, hearing a gasp from Lucinda. "You like the idea?"

"Of course! You know, my owner will probably help with the cost! Other farmers will too!" Lucinda shouted with a massive grin. "He always complains when one of us gets sick or hurt and a vet has to come to him!"

"Yeah, we can probably get it done for practically nothing." Andrea chimed in. "Plenty of farmers will pay to have Tori watch over their animals at a separate facility, making sure they recuperate away from their other animals."

"You people are weird." Elle said, shaking her head. You'd completely forgotten she had stayed around and joined you in the tub. Allegedly her shift was over for the day, but you had doubts. "This whole thing is some weird roleplay thing, right?"

"Nope." Everyone else replied.

"So you're crazy then. Talking about turning into a deer and a cow..." Elle muttered. "And one of you has a tail to go along with it!"

"I'll uh... I'll leave Tori." Doe said quietly. "Then Tori can show her."

"That works. But before you do..." You muttered, moving over to Doe. "I'll see you soon, okay?" You said before going in for the deer's first kiss. As you pulled your head back, your eyes were filled by a purple flash before a certain deer scampered off your deck.

"Hey." Tori whispered, her face still next to yours. "That was a nice wake-up, you know?"

"I'm glad you liked it." You whispered back as Tori's eyes flashed purple.

"You need an explanation, don't you?" Tori asked, turning to look at Elle. "I could resist, but... have fun." Tori said as another purple flash filled your vision.

"This is insane..." Elle muttered with her new voice. Like Doe, she made Tori's body slim down, although her hair was now fiery red and down to her waist. "Channelers and curses and shit..."

"We would've just explained it, but proxies would be an issue. You know what that means now, so you understand why we couldn't." Andrea said, sinking into the hot water up to her chin.

"Yeah. You were planning on doing this to me at some point anyway, weren't you?" Elle asked, looking down at her borrowed body.

"Only if you kept insisting you had sex with Peter." Andrea answered. "You know that isn't allowed without our permission now."

"Why'd you even do that? Hit on me and threaten me about it?!" You asked, sitting back down beside Lucinda and Andrea.

"It's fun to make guys freak out. And... I've been going through a bit of a dry spell. So..."

"Of course that was your reason..." Andrea muttered. "You've got your explanation, so why don't you leave Tori for a second? Lucinda, you too."

"Why don't I get a vote exactly?" You asked as the girls came inside the house after discussing Elle, with Elle, for a while.

"Because you'll always say yes anyway, you horndog." Tori answered with a grin. "And..."

"It's a yes." Elle said with a gulp. "This whole situation is still weird, by the way."

"You said you're going through a dry spell, and you hit on him." Andrea said, tightening her towel around herself. "You've got the go-ahead. Go for it."

"Why did I get a vote though?" Nessa asked quietly. " We haven't..."

"You're a girl who lives in this house, so you got a vote." Andrea explained. "And Tori and I already had a vote about you, you're fine to do what you want with him whenever you want."

"You did?!" Nessa squeaked.

"You're all just making a harem for this guy..." Elle muttered, her freckled cheeks blushing. "I know he's great from Tori, but..."

"Oh yeah. I'll take Lucinda back home." Tori said, turning back around. "Can I take your car, Drea?"

"Sure. Don't you have to take your truck back, Elle?" Andrea answered as Tori walked out and a blue flash shined through your window.

"No... it's my own truck. I'm basically an outside contractor, I just deliver things and install them."

"So you're good to stay here for the night then." You muttered. "Hungry for anything special?"

That Night

"So." Andrea mumbled beside you, drying and putting away any dishes you washed.

"Yeah, Babe?"

"Who are you spending the night with?"

"Uh..."

"You better pick, Peter." Andrea said in a sassy tone. "The longer you wait, the more upset one of us will be."

"But... choices are hard." You joked, gently elbowing Andrea.

"Real funny. Now head upstairs. Unless you're waiting for me." Andrea ordered before giving you a peck on your cheek. "I'm not hurt if you want someone else..."
