But as time went on, the crowd started to dissipate until only a few people remained. One was a slightly chubby boy wearing a hooded sweatshirt, whose head was hanging down. He didn't move for a long time; he just sat there, head hanging down low, and he thought.\n\nHe was thinking of the day he had just experienced, and everything that happened. Seth had just left his class to get some water when a shocking sight stopped him. Out in the hall, by the lockers, were his friends Jessie and Mike. Seth had felt a wave of jealousy overcome him as he often did, but the sight was really nothing new - despite them having broken up months ago, Seth still felt jealousy when he saw Jessie with someone else, but Mike and Jessie often chatted with each other. No, what really shocked him was that, as they were talking, Jessie had leaned forward and given Mike a kiss.\n\nIt was no longer jealousy that Seth felt, but anger and betrayal. He had never really gotten over the break-up with Jessie, and despite his efforts against it, he couldn't bring himself to let go of her. Jessie's eyes suddenly opened, and it was obvious to Seth that she could see the disgust in his eyes as he walked away.\n\nJessie had run up to Seth in an attempt to explain and calm him down, and a shouting match had ensued. Words like \"betrayal,\" \"over,\" and \"jealous\" were exchanged, and the unbeknownst to Seth, Mike had been watching. Eventually, Jessie had said, \"Why, Seth? Why can't you just let it go? Why can't you accept that we both need to move on?\"\n\nSeth bit his lip. \"I can't... because it would mean that I wouldn't have anything. My parents... they don't pay attention to me. They can't afford to, because of my little brother. You were all I had, Jessie. That's why I couldn't let go.\"\n\nSeth had turned to walk away, but he had run right into Mike. Mike took one pitiful look at Seth and said, \"Seb... you really mean that you don't have anything?\"\n\nSeth glared at Mike for a second before realizing that he wasn't trying to be hostile. \"Yeah,\" Seth replied. \"There's nothing for me.\"\n\nMike thought for a minute before asking, \"Would there be anything I could give you?\"\n\nSeth shook his head. \"The only things I could possibly want are Jessie, or a way to escape from this life,\" he replied. \"And I really don't think you're willing to give me either.\" With that, Seth had walked away.\n\nThat was three hours ago, and now Seth was on the bus, trying not to cry. He really couldn't see how his life could ever be fixed. His friends tried to be supportive, but Jessie wasn't with him anymore. The only thing that could help him was an escape - an escape from his home, his little brother... and his life. But how?\n\nThe bus came to Seth's stop, and he sighed as he got off the vehicle and began to walk home. His mood kept worsening with every step. But suddenly, as he came to his front door, he noticed something on the doormat. It was a small, red, circular gem, no wider than an inch, just lying there.\n\nSeth was perplexed by the gem - he had no idea how it could have gotten there, neither did he think it was his mother's. But he had some sort of attraction to it, as if there was more to it than met the eye. Seth picked up the gem and pocketed it before he stepped inside his house.\n\nSeth dumped his backpack on the kitchen counter as he headed to his room. He often hung out in his room when he was moody - or really, he hung out there even when he wasn't. It was the place he went for alone time, and that was something he thought he really needed at the moment.\n\nHe crashed onto his bed face first, barely moving as he groaned. Right now, Seth didn't think he would ever get up - what would be the point? What could possibly change that could make him do that? He had nothing - nothing but memories that he didn't want.\n\nSeth turned his head to the side. He only did it to get a breath of air, but something lying beside the bed caught his eye. It was a picture; one that Jessie had drawn him for his last birthday. Seth moved a bit to get a better look, as it was a picture he always loved to look at.\n\nIt was an uncoloured drawing that nevertheless had the appearance that a lot of effort was put into it. It was a portrait of Blaze the Cat, a character from the game Sonic Rush. Seth always had a fondness for Blaze, whether it was because of her speed, her cool demeanour, her fire-manipulation abilities or, he was embarrassed to admit, her beauty. Even Seth thought it was odd that he was attracted to a fictional video game character, especially one that wasn't human, but it was just something he felt.\n\nIt was that moment that Seth thought of something he never had thought before. Blaze had such a cool demeanour that something like what he was experiencing wouldn't be a problem for her. He needed a personality like hers - he could deal with his screwed-up life more easily, and he'd be able to think of a method of escape more easily.\n\nSeth sighed as he turned over on his bed and stared at the ceiling. \"I... I wish there was a way to escape,\" he said out loud. \"Even if it was just for a while, it... it would do wonders for me.\"\n\nAs he said this, Seth suddenly felt a tingling in his pocket. Confused, he reached into it and felt something round. He grabbed it and brought it out in front of his face. It was the gem he had found on the front doormat earlier - and it was glowing.\n\n\"Wh... what the heck?\" Seth said to himself as he stared at the glowing gem in his hand. But of course, he soon realized that you should save such statements for when you really need them, as the gem suddenly levitated itself out of his hand. Seth stared in confusion and amazement at the floating gem, and it slowly floated towards him. Seth tried to back off, but being on his bed, he only crashed into the bedroom wall. There was nowhere he could go as the gem floated towards him and then suddenly, attached itself to his forehead.\n\nSeth was beyond confused at this point. He tried to look up at the gem, but it was now out of his range of vision. He quickly grabbed at it - he could definitely feel it on his forehead, but it wouldn't budge an inch. It was like the gem was glued to his forehead.\n\nIn a panic, Seth rushed out of his room and ran into the bathroom, locking the door behind him. He peered into the mirror, and he saw the red gem on the middle of his forehead. \"What the hell is this?\" he said as he tried removing it again, to no avail. But he saw that as he touched it, the gem's glow intensified. Seth felt a light tingling in his skin around the gem. He looked at his reflection just in time to see that, around the gem, his skin was sprouting a layer of a fine, light purple fur.\n\n\"Holy shit!\" Seth yelled as he jumped back. He reached up to his forehead and touched the fur; it felt soft to the touch, and it was slowly but steadily spreading. \"I... I'm actually growing fur?!\" Seth wondered aloud, and he shook his head in disbelief. \"That... that's not possible.\"\n\nA rush of adrenaline suddenly surged through Seth's body to brace him for his changes. It started with the tingling feeling appearing in his arms. He rolled up his sleeves to reveal more fur growing on his arms. Seth quickly pulled his sleeves back down, completely shocked by what was happening. As he did, the tingling spread to his hands, and he saw them grow slightly larger. But even more surprising was the sudden appearance of two white gloves, which fit snugly over his hands.\n\nNow, Seth was beyond confused. Bigger hands and gloves? \"What's happening to me?\" was what came out of his mouth, a reasonable question for such a situation. He could still feel the fur growing on his arms and face, and he even felt the tingling in his shoulders and chest. It was something that would astound anyone.\n\nThe sleeves of Seth's shirt began to do something odd; they began to tighten around his arms, and their colour started to change from black to a violet hue. Not only that, but the area around the wrists grew something like white fuzz. As the sleeves tightened, Seth felt his arms start to slim down with them. But Seth felt even more confused; instead of hurting, like he expected it to, the thinning of his arms actually felt pleasurable, and a soft moan escaped his lips as it happened.\n\nSeth’s shirt continued to change to a violet colour, and as it did, his collar suddenly flared out and turned yellow. While that was happening, he also gradually began to shrink in height, in a very subtle manner. Seth didn’t know what was worse – that he was undergoing some sort of metamorphosis, or that he was actually enjoying some of it. He looked back up at his reflection, which is both when he noticed he was starting to shrink, and when he noticed that the fur had covered about half of his face.\n\nSeth gazed into his ever-changing reflection, perplexed by all the fur. He was turning into something; there was no doubt about that. “But… what? What am I turning into?” he asked aloud. \n\nAs if to attempt to provide an answer, the changes to his face gradually sped up. While his shirt continued to change and become tighter and violet, the light purple fur spread even further, even consuming most of Seth’s hair. The fur at both sides of his head spread out and lengthened into points. Meanwhile, more fur grew around his mouth and below his eyes, extending to his cheeks, although this fur was white in colour. Suddenly, a red hair tie appeared on the back of his head, and the little hair Seth still had suddenly extended through it, turning into several purple locks with violet tips, having a rather feathery appearance. His ears perked up and shifted up to the top of his head, becoming pointed as they did so. His eyes became several times bigger and changed to a yellow colour, and his eyelashes grew longer as well. As Seth’s nose turned black and extended into a short muzzle, he suddenly realized who he was becoming – the new face he was staring at in the mirror.\n\n“I… I’m turning into Blaze,” he said, and he suddenly gasped – his voice was now at least an octave higher. And yet despite wanting to freak out more than ever, Seth was remaining as collected as possible for some reason. “I’m turning into Blaze,” he repeated. “Why am I not freaking out about this more? I’ve always liked her, but actually being her…”\n\nSeth’s shirt finished changing as he said this, the back dropping down into long coattails with pink trimmings. It was now Blaze’s coat, and the tightness he felt suddenly started to vanish as he slimmed down to fit it. Seth moaned in pleasure as his excess fat suddenly vanished, his body shrinking and slimming to a smaller, more feminine shape. A tail extended out of his backside between the coattails, with the same light purple hue most of his fur was coloured and a violet tip.\n\nHis jeans tightened at this point, turning white and changing their material. Seth had finished shrinking to a little more than 3 feet in height, but his legs began to change as his jeans did. They became much thinner, and his hips expanded a bit, making Seth moan even louder now. His shoes suddenly became pink with a white stripe over top, and the heels raised themselves. More white fuzz, like that on his coat sleeves, appeared on the rim of his shoes, as his jeans finished changing into white tights.\n\nSeth was stunned – although he was much shorter now, he could still pick himself over the counter and look at his reflection. The fact that the face of Blaze the Cat was staring back at him was the most unbelievable experience of his life. But he suddenly felt something – a tingling in his chest. He gasped as his chest started to push out, forming a pair of b-cup breasts. Seth moaned in pleasure as this happened, but as soon as it started, it finished.\n\nSeth stared in horror at the new assets on his chest. He had just grown breasts… which meant that there was still one thing left. He looked down at his crotch and saw that there was still a bulge in the front of Blaze’s tights, but his fears were confirmed as he suddenly felt a tingling sensation. “Oh God no,” he whispered, but it was no use, and a huge wave of pleasure came across him as he felt his cock start to suck into his body. He cried out in bliss as he fell to his knees, grabbing at his crotch in a futile effort to save it. But within seconds, it was gone, replaced with a feminine slit. As the last bits of Seth’s maleness were sucked in, his mind was suddenly flooded with the thoughts, mannerisms and memories of someone else, causing an overflow in his brain.\n\nA few seconds later, Seth fell to all fours, panting heavily. He – no, she – had turned into Blaze, and she had just realized that the thoughts and memories she had acquired were Blaze’s. Seth struggled to her feet and looked over her new body. Of course, becoming a female humanoid cat was undoubtedly disorienting for her, but to her surprise she was orienting herself with her form very quickly. Seth supposed that it was Blaze’s memories unintentionally helping her out.\n\nIn fact, Seth thought that these mental changes were doing a lot – normally in such a situation, he would have been panicking, scared, or even hysterical over being turned into Blaze. But instead, she was mostly intrigued by it. She was a little ticked off at the change coming with no warning, but it wasn’t something she was steaming about.\n\n“Wait,” she thought, “does that mean… I have Blaze’s personality, too?” The thought actually made Seth feel a little better – yes, she didn’t actually want to be Blaze, but having her cool and collected personality was exactly what she thought could help her. Her eyes widened as she realized something else – being Blaze might actually be a great form of escape from reality.\n\nSeth suddenly shook her head. She had just realized that despite the benefits that were coming to mind, there was still a huge problem if the change was one-way – it would mean the end of her old life. In some ways, it wouldn’t be a huge loss, but how would Blaze the Cat be able to survive in such a different society than that she originated in? Not to mention that an anthropomorphic cat would probably be a shocking sight on the streets.\n\nFortunately, Seth’s parents weren’t home at the moment, so she decided it was safe to leave the bathroom. As she carefully stepped out into the hall, she thought of how she might be able to deal with a possibly permanent change while she walked back to her bedroom. She sighed – nothing was coming to mind. If she was stuck as Blaze permanently… well, she didn’t even want to think of what might happen then. She shook her head and opened the door to her room.\n\nInside her bedroom, Seth suddenly saw something that wasn’t there before – a note was lying on her bed. Nervously, she walked up to her bed and grabbed it. As she read the note, Seth’s expression became more and more happy, possibly even excited. It was answering all of her questions, and in probably the most reassuring way possible. The note read:\n\nDear Seth,\n\nI’ve heard that your life is screwed up and that you needed an escape. Because I never wanted you to feel unhappy, I decided to provide you with an escape. By now, you should have noticed that you’ve been transformed into Blaze the Cat. This was of my doing – consider it a gift to you. I know how much you like Blaze, and so being given the chance to be her is likely to be quite the opportunity for you.\n\nBecause I know you are probably worried, I should reassure you that this transformation is not permanent – the form is sealed within the gem that now adorns your forehead. You may have noticed that you couldn’t remove it while you were changing. This was because it was set up to make sure the change would finish first. You should be able to remove the gem now, and doing so should change you back to normal. Placing it back on will also turn you back into Blaze, and give you her memories, personality, and all of her powers as well.\n\nI hope you enjoy your new gift, Seth. Infusing the gem with the necessary magic was a pain, and I’d hate to see that you don’t take advantage of your new form, or learn that you don’t like it or it didn’t provide you with the escape you needed. I did this for you – remember that. So please, take your Blaze form for a test drive: test her speed, summon some fire, do some… exploring, whatever you think of. And remember – I really do care for you.\n\n- A friend.\n\nSeth smiled at the letter. The change wasn’t permanent – that was the best part. She could just take the gem off of his forehead any time and become himself again. Of course, it was still a little confusing as to who sent the letter and the gem in the first place – he thought of Mike or Jessie, but how would they know how to use magic?\n\n“Oh well,” Seth said to herself as she folded the letter and placed it on her bedside. “It said to try out this form… and I think that might help a lot.” She concentrated for a second, using Blaze’s memories to summon up her powers, and a ball of fire appeared in her hand. She smiled as she snuffed the flame out. “That’s beyond cool,” she commented.\n\nSeth looked out the window. It seemed to be a fairly nice day out, which surprised her – it was dark and gloomy most of the day, and seeing the sun out in full burst was a real mood changer. “Why not go out for a run?” she asked herself. “I can change when I get back… I really think I’m going to like this.” With that, she hurried downstairs to the back door. She stepped outside, closed the door, and took off into the afternoon.\n\nAs Seth, now Blaze, ran off, a figure watched her with a smile on his face. “It seems he likes it,” he said. “That’s very good.” He felt good about himself – ever since he learned how to transform himself and others, he had used his new abilities mostly for fun and experimenting on himself. But when Seth had told him about his problems, he decided it would be the best time to try out two new ideas – infusing transformation energy within an object, and using his powers to help others, rather than just for fun. It seemed that both of his ideas had worked.\n\nThe figure smiled and stood up. “Good luck, Seth,” Mike said softly, and he turned to head back home.\n\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "
A Special Gift


The crowded bus left little breathing room for the passengers on board. But as time went on, the crowd started to dissipate until only a few people remained. One was a slightly chubby boy wearing a hooded sweatshirt, whose head was hanging down. He didn't move for a long time; he just sat there, head hanging down low, and he thought.

He had never really gotten over the break-up with Jessie, and despite his efforts against it, he couldn't bring himself to let go of her. Jessie's eyes suddenly opened, and it was obvious to Seth that she could see the disgust in his eyes as he walked away.

Jessie had run up to Seth in an attempt to explain and calm him down, and a shouting match had ensued. Words like "betrayal," "over," and "jealous" were exchanged, and the unbeknownst to Seth, Mike had been watching. Eventually, Jessie had said, "Why, Seth? Why can't you just let it go? Why can't you accept that we both need to move on?"

Seth had turned to walk away, but he had run right into Mike. Mike took one pitiful look at Seth and said, "Seb... you really mean that you don't have anything?"

Seth glared at Mike for a second before realizing that he wasn't trying to be hostile. "Yeah," Seth replied. "There's nothing for me."

Mike thought for a minute before asking, "Would there be anything I could give you?"

Seth shook his head. "The only things I could possibly want are Jessie, or a way to escape from this life," he replied. "And I really don't think you're willing to give me either." With that, Seth had walked away.

That was three hours ago, and now Seth was on the bus, trying not to cry. He really couldn't see how his life could ever be fixed.

"Wh... what the heck?" Seth said to himself as he stared at the glowing gem in his hand. But of course, he soon realized that you should save such statements for when you really need them, as the gem suddenly levitated itself out of his hand. Seth stared in confusion and amazement at the floating gem, and it slowly floated towards him. Seth tried to back off, but being on his bed, he only crashed into the bedroom wall.

Not only that, but the area around the wrists grew something like white fuzz. As the sleeves tightened, Seth felt his arms start to slim down with them. But Seth felt even more confused; instead of hurting, like he expected it to, the thinning of his arms actually felt pleasurable, and a soft moan escaped his lips as it happened.

Seth’s shirt continued to change to a violet colour, and as it did, his collar suddenly flared out and turned yellow. While that was happening, he also gradually began to shrink in height, in a very subtle manner. Seth didn’t know what was worse – that he was undergoing some sort of metamorphosis, or that he was actually enjoying some of it. He looked back up at his reflection, which is both when he noticed he was starting to shrink, and when he noticed that the fur had covered about half of his face.

Seth gazed into his ever-changing reflection, perplexed by all the fur. He was turning into something; there was no doubt about that. “But… what? What am I turning into?” he asked aloud.

As if to attempt to provide an answer, the changes to his face gradually sped up. While his shirt continued to change and become tighter and violet, the light purple fur spread even further, even consuming most of Seth’s hair. The fur at both sides of his head spread out and lengthened into points. Meanwhile, more fur grew around his mouth and below his eyes, extending to his cheeks, although this fur was white in colour. Suddenly, a red hair tie appeared on the back of his head, and the little hair Seth still had suddenly extended through it, turning into several purple locks with violet tips, having a rather feathery appearance. His ears perked up and shifted up to the top of his head, becoming pointed as they did so. His eyes became several times bigger and changed to a yellow colour, and his eyelashes grew longer as well. As Seth’s nose turned black and extended into a short muzzle, he suddenly realized who he was becoming – the new face he was staring at in the mirror.

“I… I’m turning into Blaze,” he said, and he suddenly gasped – his voice was now at least an octave higher. And yet despite wanting to freak out more than ever, Seth was remaining as collected as possible for some reason. “I’m turning into Blaze,” he repeated. “Why am I not freaking out about this more? I’ve always liked her, but actually being her…”

Seth’s shirt finished changing as he said this, the back dropping down into long coattails with pink trimmings. It was now Blaze’s coat, and the tightness he felt suddenly started to vanish as he slimmed down to fit it. Seth moaned in pleasure as his excess fat suddenly vanished, his body shrinking and slimming to a smaller, more feminine shape. A tail extended out of his backside between the coattails, with the same light purple hue most of his fur was coloured and a violet tip.

His jeans tightened at this point, turning white and changing their material. Seth had finished shrinking to a little more than 3 feet in height, but his legs began to change as his jeans did. They became much thinner, and his hips expanded a bit, making Seth moan even louder now. His shoes suddenly became pink with a white stripe over top, and the heels raised themselves. More white fuzz, like that on his coat sleeves, appeared on the rim of his shoes, as his jeans finished changing into white tights.

Seth was stunned – although he was much shorter now, he could still pick himself over the counter and look at his reflection. The fact that the face of Blaze the Cat was staring back at him was the most unbelievable experience of his life. But he suddenly felt something – a tingling in his chest. He gasped as his chest started to push out, forming a pair of b-cup breasts. Seth moaned in pleasure as this happened, but as soon as it started, it finished.

Seth stared in horror at the new assets on his chest. He had just grown breasts… which meant that there was still one thing left. He looked down at his crotch and saw that there was still a bulge in the front of Blaze’s tights, but his fears were confirmed as he suddenly felt a tingling sensation. “Oh God no,” he whispered, but it was no use, and a huge wave of pleasure came across him as he felt his cock start to suck into his body. He cried out in bliss as he fell to his knees, grabbing at his crotch in a futile effort to save it. But within seconds, it was gone, replaced with a feminine slit. As the last bits of Seth’s maleness were sucked in, his mind was suddenly flooded with the thoughts, mannerisms and memories of someone else, causing an overflow in his brain.

A few seconds later, Seth fell to all fours, panting heavily. He – no, she – had turned into Blaze, and she had just realized that the thoughts and memories she had acquired were Blaze’s. Seth struggled to her feet and looked over her new body. Of course, becoming a female humanoid cat was undoubtedly disorienting for her, but to her surprise she was orienting herself with her form very quickly. Seth supposed that it was Blaze’s memories unintentionally helping her out.

In fact, Seth thought that these mental changes were doing a lot – normally in such a situation, he would have been panicking, scared, or even hysterical over being turned into Blaze. But instead, she was mostly intrigued by it. She was a little ticked off at the change coming with no warning, but it wasn’t something she was steaming about.

“Wait,” she thought, “does that mean… I have Blaze’s personality, too?” The thought actually made Seth feel a little better – yes, she didn’t actually want to be Blaze, but having her cool and collected personality was exactly what she thought could help her. Her eyes widened as she realized something else – being Blaze might actually be a great form of escape from reality.

Seth suddenly shook her head. She had just realized that despite the benefits that were coming to mind, there was still a huge problem if the change was one-way – it would mean the end of her old life. In some ways, it wouldn’t be a huge loss, but how would Blaze the Cat be able to survive in such a different society than that she originated in? Not to mention that an anthropomorphic cat would probably be a shocking sight on the streets.

Fortunately, Seth’s parents weren’t home at the moment, so she decided it was safe to leave the bathroom. As she carefully stepped out into the hall, she thought of how she might be able to deal with a possibly permanent change while she walked back to her bedroom. She sighed – nothing was coming to mind. If she was stuck as Blaze permanently… well, she didn’t even want to think of what might happen then. She shook her head and opened the door to her room.

Inside her bedroom, Seth suddenly saw something that wasn’t there before – a note was lying on her bed. Nervously, she walked up to her bed and grabbed it. As she read the note, Seth’s expression became more and more happy, possibly even excited. It was answering all of her questions, and in probably the most reassuring way possible. The note read:

Dear Seth,

I’ve heard that your life is screwed up and that you needed an escape. Because I never wanted you to feel unhappy, I decided to provide you with an escape. By now, you should have noticed that you’ve been transformed into Blaze the Cat. This was of my doing – consider it a gift to you. I know how much you like Blaze, and so being given the chance to be her is likely to be quite the opportunity for you.

Because I know you are probably worried, I should reassure you that this transformation is not permanent – the form is sealed within the gem that now adorns your forehead. You may have noticed that you couldn’t remove it while you were changing. This was because it was set up to make sure the change would finish first. You should be able to remove the gem now, and doing so should change you back to normal. Placing it back on will also turn you back into Blaze, and give you her memories, personality, and all of her powers as well.

I hope you enjoy your new gift, Seth. Infusing the gem with the necessary magic was a pain, and I’d hate to see that you don’t take advantage of your new form, or learn that you don’t like it or it didn’t provide you with the escape you needed. I did this for you – remember that. So please, take your Blaze form for a test drive: test her speed, summon some fire, do some… exploring, whatever you think of. And remember – I really do care for you.

- A friend.

Seth smiled at the letter. The change wasn’t permanent – that was the best part. She could just take the gem off of his forehead any time and become himself again. Of course, it was still a little confusing as to who sent the letter and the gem in the first place – he thought of Mike or Jessie, but how would they know how to use magic?

“Oh well,” Seth said to herself as she folded the letter and placed it on her bedside. “It said to try out this form… and I think that might help a lot.” She concentrated for a second, using Blaze’s memories to summon up her powers, and a ball of fire appeared in her hand. She smiled as she snuffed the flame out. “That’s beyond cool,” she commented.

Seth looked out the window. It seemed to be a fairly nice day out, which surprised her – it was dark and gloomy most of the day, and seeing the sun out in full burst was a real mood changer. “Why not go out for a run?” she asked herself. “I can change when I get back… I really think I’m going to like this.” With that, she hurried downstairs to the back door. She stepped outside, closed the door, and took off into the afternoon.

As Seth, now Blaze, ran off, a figure watched her with a smile on his face. “It seems he likes it,” he said. “That’s very good.” He felt good about himself – ever since he learned how to transform himself and others, he had used his new abilities mostly for fun and experimenting on himself. But when Seth had told him about his problems, he decided it would be the best time to try out two new ideas – infusing transformation energy within an object, and using his powers to help others, rather than just for fun. It seemed that both of his ideas had worked.

The figure smiled and stood up. “Good luck, Seth,” Mike said softly, and he turned to head back home.
