(Subplot) The Glitches get a Pet

Chantelle regarded Laura for a moment. She really was a very attractive woman and very much the secret agent's type. Had she been less of a model professional she could have had some real fun in this situation, but it was foolish to take any risks at this point. Ideally, she would prefer to get back to her room before anyone awoke and noticed her absence. With Barbie's snoring that might not give her long.

"I need to take you offline for a while. It isn't your fault, but you are damaging my mission"

"Oh, okay" Laura replied. She was very confused. Normally she considered herself very competent at improvising quickly in role play situations but she had no idea how "Special Agent Lewis" wanted her to respond to this.

"I want you to get onto all fours"

"Oh, well I guess I have **** seeing as you are a powerful secret agent" Laura responded submissively as she got down onto her hands and knees "Oh my goodness, you could do anything you want to me! I hope you don't **** your powers!"

Laura was very good at this act and Chantelle was extremely turned on at this point. But she had to resist any temptation to indulge herself and do what needed to be done for the mission.

"Now, I need you to turn into a hamster" Chantelle ordered "No, wait! A gerbil. I always wanted a pet gerbil when I was a kid!"

A confused and slightly scared looking Laura gazed up at Chantelle before quickly shrinking down into the form of a small, brown and white rodent. Chantelle crouched down and picked Laura up, stroking her fur as she spoke.

"This isn't personal, and it won't be forever, but I need you to be neutralised for the duration of my mission" Laura looked up at Chantelle and made a high pitched squeaking sound which Chantelle couldn't possibly translate "Look, this isn't so bad. At least I made you something cute. Later on I will get you a nice, big cage and plenty of whatever food it is gerbils eat. I'm going to let you keep your name too. Laura the gerbil! It's not like anyone is going to recognise you. Though if anyone figures this out and turns you back before I do you will tell them it was Barbie that transformed you. Understood?"

Laura made a cute squeaking sound.

"Well, aren't you just adorable! I bet the glitches will get a kick out of having a pet and spoil you rotten."

Once again, Laura made a squeaking sound.

"Just for now, I need you to stay hidden in here. I'm going to put you in a drawer so stay where you are and try and get some sleep."

Laura squeaked obediently. Even as a rodent she was bound to do as she was told by Chantelle.

"I won't be too long, I promise" Chantelle told her new pet as she hid Laura in a nearby drawer and headed back to her room.
