The Cafe

As the five of you enter the Cafe you realize it has a really country feel, it almost reminds you of a nice truck stop even. You start to wonder who had set up this environment but as a whole you almost expect to smell hay from the ground or around you in some way. You look around the cafe to find farming implements, and all kinds of other country fair. You start, you realize this is mostly one of Max's bit more sicker tricks or idea's. You realize the service that humans have given animals, in farms and the likes its quite possible the service he is teaching is a bit different in the sense that it is just hospitality but at the same time you wonder about this environment for the learning as a whole.

The five of you sit down and you start to realize the staff of the cafe inside of the shop, is a mix of human's and Animorphs and they take all shapes and sizes a whole. Thou at this hour it does seem to be a bit more farm style Animorphs a whole. You look around just wondering what the deal is.

As your waitress comes up, she starts to ask the girls for orders. You realize that all of the staff in this training environment have clothing on. As well as name tags, the one before you is a Horse-girl named Goldie or at least that is what her name tag says.

She turns to Pam and says " They dragged me in today telling me something about Pam having other business and here you are." She sniffs about a bit and then looks at you as big as you are and says " My your a big one aren't yeah"

You let out an almost silent growl as if to yourself to suggest man I wish they would stop doing that and then say " I had a bit of an accident, I use to be smaller but an encounter with a saber tooth cat has rendered me a bit bigger then I would like."

Pam then says " If you notice, my collar shows that I have been adopted."

( I should now point out that the collars, of young Animorphs and Animorphs without an owner often have a different collar collar. Ones with owners tend to have red, or some mix of color including red on it in some ways. Humans and Pets with owners are the only ones able to have collars that reflect personal taste. Young Animorphs are often allowed a little space on this as well. Animorphs with in there own habitats do not have collars on.)

Goldie looks at her, and nods and says " I guess you really did have business today, thou I get the feeling that the one who adopted you already has tons of business of his own." As she looks over you and the others, almost to quiet to hear she says " And no reason to growl at me sir."

Petra lets out a growl louder then yours and lets out a snappy bark and says " Don't talk back to him, were is your humility? Do you think for one minute because the Animorph or worker or person who was suppose to be working instead of you. Enters the cafe that it gives you the right to talk back to customers? This task is to teach you people skills."

You turn to Petra and say " Don't get all hormonal like that Petra, I understand your need to make sure people are" You cut off what your saying and then say " Just don't, I am pretty sure you have yet to take these classes."

Goldie looks at Petra and then at you and says " Why would a human take classes? meant for an Animorph?"

Petra lets out another snappy bark and says " I am an Animorph!" Goldie of course is pointing at her collar as if she does not understand it.

You nod and say " Petra is a special case, she matured faster then she should have. And part of her maturity had unexpected results, lets just say she is as human as I or Abby. Which is to suggest that I personally would not consider myself human any more and I am not sure about Abby. My human size is the size you see before you for both of us."

Goldie lets out a weeny, and says " My, you really are a big boy then."

You shake your head again without growling this time and say " Please can we just order."

Abby nods at Goldie when she asks " Can I get a Sun tea and some kind of flavorful treat? I would really like to see what this tongue makes things taste like considering, I have yet to do that."

Goldie smiles and says " I will bring you a piece of country apple pie, and some cheddar cheese for the side."

Abby looks at her and says " cheddar cheese?"

You nod at Abby and say " It is a good contrasts to the apple pie, I hear they do it a lot in the south. The smooth taste of the pie works well with the undertones of the cheese as well as the smooth texture as you chew it."

Abby just nods her head in agreement as Petra orders " I would like I fresh jug of milk, still warm if you can."

You shrug and say " I guess that a specialty thing thou with the Animorphs in the room I don't think that will be a problem will there?"

Goldie nods and says " Not at all, a lot of the Animorphs order fresh milk often pregnant ones thou. The extra nourishment is important, just like why many females eat bones and morrow." You just nod.

Lisa then orders " I would like a half point of warm milk and some honey if you could. Not together mind you I just want something that taste good and is sweet."

Pam then says " I would like water, and some meat chunks many many meat chunks."

You shrug and say " I would like a chocolate shake."

Goldie looks at you strange and says " I can't give that order to Humans or Animorphs who look like canines. I can give you vanilla and a number of other flavors including root beer."

You nod and say " Fine a root beer shake and big order of onion rings, and a large burger and when I say large I mean a every large burger with everything on it including bacon. I did not eat much earlier."

Pam and Lisa and the other two look at you a bit skeptical of that statement, so you shrug and say " I now weigh 100 pounds more then I use to and I am up words of 5 to 6 inches taller and you look at me funny that I want more food?"

Pam is the first to say, " I thought you were that big during your meal."

You nod and say " Yes but if Petra or Abby were to point out I ate about what I have been eating everyday no increase."

Petra nods but Pam says " You really eat don't you, you eat about twice as much as the average Animorph Alex."

You let out a growl and just say " I am also subjected, to strains and energy uses others are not. If you ask Petra she will tell you I sleep a lot as well. I use to sleep a normal 8 hours now I pass out before 8 pm sometimes. Only to wake up and pass out again."

Petra nods and says " It's true."

Goldie comes back with the drinks, and she puts a jug in front of you and says " I figured maybe since the others besides that one." As she points a finger at Abbie and says " Ordered a lot to drink and how you super super sized most of your meal I figured you might want more shake as well." You just nod, and take the jug. You realize the jug fits your hand pretty well as a whole. And the size makes it almost look like a normal cup. Goldie takes note and says " my what big hands you have."

You let out a groan and say " I don't see little red riding hood and I am not the big bad wolf so can we get over the possible little red riding hood references please? It's getting annoying."

Goldie looks at you a second before Petra growls at her again and she finally says
"Sorry I did not expect you to be upset by it."

You shake you head and simply say " Chances are Little Red Riding Hood if she meet me would try to **** me and then I would be the one saying stupid shit like what big eyes you have. And little red would mostly say stupid shit like the better to see your prick with. So lets get over the stupid or possibly ignorant references. Yes I know I am large, Yes I know I am larger then most male humans who use DNA pills yes I know. You smell something you like about me and your references to my size might be a rather lame pick up line." Goldie looks surprised at your out burst you then add " I don't think Petra is fond of farm animals trying to hump my leg, I on the other hand have no issue with it. If it makes you happy, I am not the big bad wolf and that is the point. I am not a punch line, or a joke. Thou if someone wants to dress up like little red riding hood and have some personal fun that is there business."

Goldie of course, is taken a back by yourself expression and then says " Sir I am sorry if you think I meant any harm. You really are big, and well I know what big means even in the Animorph world if not more so then normal. You mostly make one of the male version's of one of my domestic cousin look small."

You of course would blush now but the rest of the girls start laughing and Petra is the first to contain it to say " Sister you don't know the half of it, I can wrap my legs around it and still get hit in the face or at least I use to before my body matured on me. Thou with his increase in size who knows, I mean that just happen to him today." Petra then adds " I bet if he was taken you, chances are you would scale to it a bit better then the rest of us." It's clear that Goldie being a horse-girl is a quite a bit bigger then the rest of the girls, heck she is almost bigger then you. You can't help but wonder if you remember how you felt on your walk through when considering the different Animorphs.

You shake your head and say " This shake is nice, I think we are going to just sit here and eat what we got thanks." And with that the five of you start to drunk and eat what you ordered. Lisa seems to be having trouble with the honey, Abby clearly likes the apple pie and cheese. Petra seems happy with her milk, and Pam is eating bits of meat like you have been since you got here. Your burger much be one of the biggest things you ever seen, it seems they took it to over kill when you asked for large you got very large. It seems to be at least 5 pounds but even so the two halves don't even look like an issue compared to your body size and your hands.

You shrug as you start to eat it, taste great. You realize unlike some of the other human style food you had tried to eat when you first transformed this is not giving you issues. The shake and onion rings are also very good, and you can feel almost as if this is what you needed. So in truth, sleep really was not what you had been after before. You thank god for the blessings as a whole, and the fact that your strange personal ability to turn into an animal beast happen in a controlled environment were no one would look at you funny. Where you can also take in as much food as you need. And females human or beast seem to line up for you, of course by beast you mean Animorphs but it still stirs up thoughts in your mind a bit.

As it did when you first brought Freya home with you, thou you are upset with the general use of you in some ways by her you understand how humans deal with it and at the same time you can understand her feelings as a whole as well. For her, picking you out had been very hormonal because she had started to go into heat before you picked her out and your personal internal workings speed things up. So if nothing else you feel sorry for her being controlled like that but at the same time, you know Molly and Max and the others are happy she got something she had always wanted. A family, sure she has had family in the shop more or less but the shop family is not blood family and she will soon have blood family.

You keep eating listening to the girls chatter and so on, from time to time they each look over to you to see how your feeling or taking interest in it. You just smile or stuff another onion ring in your mouth. The girls all seem to have something to talk about most of all it's mostly Lisa talking to Petra about how she feels as a human and how she feels it happened and so on. It's all pretty basic as a whole, and you don't feel like stepping on Petra's feet as she talks about it. You know Petra has to learn to deal with the question, it soon moves onto Abby talking about it to Lisa. And Pam like you is just kinda sitting and watching as a whole as she eats bits of meat, she then reaches over and takes a couple onion rings and stuffs her maw with a few as she keeps eating.

Finally Pam looks at you and says " Onions and meat go well together, I will remember that for the future maybe get Rings for myself to eat with my meat."

You just nod and say " Many things taste good thou I am surprised no one has ever put you up to trying other things."

Pam groans and says " I tend to stick to what I know is good, I know it's bland. But you know Alex, I told myself I would try what my owner likes to see if I do too. I like these, how bout I take a taste of the shake?"

You shake your head and say " It's not near as good as it would have been if I had gotten what I ordered, but it seems I can't have what I ordered."

Pam nods and says " Yeah, there are things I should not eat as well. Thou it is quite a bit different for me as it is for you." The girls keep talking Lisa seems happy with the information she is getting and Abby and Petra are really getting a long. So this makes you happy to see this.

Finally Abby cuts in and says " I have to go get the little one I am taking care of, I will see you tomorrow Alex." She comes over and gives you a kiss on the cheek before leaving.

Petra and Lisa help you finish your onion rings along with Pam, and the four of you go back to the room.
