"What's that you're making?" Shar asked her roommate one chilly afternoon. The two of them had stopped in a little cafe while out doing some shopping, the tall and cuddly bovine and golden labrador sitting across from each other with their lattes. Mabel, the buxom bovine, was dressed in a warm sweater, beret and long skirt and hard at work with a set of knitting needles after their stop by a fabric shop, the yarn she was using trailing out from the shopping bag. Shar was only slightly different in attire, clad in sweater and scarf with dark leggings that perfectly outlined her hips and rear.
"Kacey's gift," Mabel answered with a proud little giggle, her cow tail giving the occasional swish. "I got her mother to teach me to knit not too long after her birth and I've always knitted her something cute every solstice."
Shar smiled, hiding her blush as she sipped her latte. "You, um, know her size?" The question got such a giggle out of Mabel that her needles paused for a moment.
"She's been the same size the last two years and hasn't grown an inch since. She's a bit like her mother, small and cute and easy to size. I know your measurements too, you know. <3"
That caught Shar by surprise and she fought to keep from sputtering on her coffee. "Y-You do? Wait, how?"
"We're roommates, dear, it's only proper."
Shar raised an eyebrow. "You never said how you got my sizes and I don't recall you measuring me..."
"With my fingers, of course! <3"
Shar blushed hotly again and decided to let the topic drop for the moment. She was planning on having a talk with her roomie when they got back home but decided to enjoy the warmth of the cafe for now. Looking out the window she felt a little sigh of contentment workits way free, her muscles relaxing and tail wagging as she watched the slow snowflakes descend outside. All that relaxation evaporated in an instant when a voice from out of the past spoke to her.
"Why, hello again, pup! <3"
This time Shar did sputter and jumped out of her chair, nearly knocking over the unwelcome visitor from out of the past. A zebra as tall as the two rommates stood by their table, more business casual in her attire. She looked just as Shar remembered her only with a longer mane than before, braided and wrapped around her neck like a scarf. Even her expression was just as she remembered, haughty as ever.
"K-Kendra...!" Shar finally gasped and felt her anger rise, scowling at the zebra before her. "Do I even have to ask why you're here?"
Kendra tittered and folded her arms beneath her ample chest. "You know me better than that, my precious puppy-"
"Don't call me that!" Shar shouted and startled herself at the volume of her own voice. The few other patrons in the cafe looked up briefly before returning to their business. In a lower tone she coldly warned, "You lost the right to call me that a long time ago."
Mabel's needles had all but stopped at this point and her amber eyes darted from the two former aquantances, staring daggers into each others eyes. "Er, hello. I'm Mabel." That broke the tension enough for Shar to sigh and Kendra to relax her posture a bit. Mabel took advantage of the silence. "I'm quite aware you know each other but would you kindly explain to me how?"
"Ah, you're the roommate she lives with, yes?" Kendra asked, pulling a chair from an empty table and seating herself with the two rommies. Without waiting for a response she leaned towards Mabel and said in a low voice, "Isn't her cock amazing? <3"
"K-Kendra!" Shar nearly shouted again and glowered at the zebra, flushing when those uncaring black eyes gazed up at her with that annoying smirk.
"What? She asked for our backstory and it would be rude of me to monopolize the tale," she said very matter-of-factly. Shar suddenly felt quite foolish standing and fuming and sank back into her seat, the peaceful mood ruined thanks to this darned zebra.
"We... we used to be together," Shar began, struggling to get the words out. Kendra tittered again at that.
"We were more than together, if I recall," she purred and waggled her eyebrows for a moment. "I seem to recall more than a few 'comparisons' during our nights together... <3"
Shar growled and felt a small bit of triumph and the surprise on Kendra's usually composed face but a pang of guilt when Mabel flinched too. "S-Sorry... but yeah, we were a couple back when we started high school. I hadn't begun my transition yet, OmniMed wouldn't clear the trials for another year so I... I was a boi back then."
"A very cute boi," Kendra added, tapping her phone and showing Mabel a photo before Shar snatched it away. Sure enough, it was one of their old selfies and Shar blushed at how small, slender and cute she was. An equally feminine zebra boi had an arm around Shar in the photo and Mabel's eyes widened even as she blushed.
"You were a boi too?" she asked and Kendra nodded, a little blush in her cheeks for a brief moment.
"Yes, I'm trans as well. We used to be so short and skinny, it's a wonder what the transition did to us."
Shar huffed once, still holding Kendra's phone in one paw. "It wasn't as glorious as they make it sound either. OmniMed was still new then and making big, bold moves like what we went through." Seeing Mabel's curioul tilt of her head, Shar explained. "The, um, transition we underwent was really intense and required us to be kept under observation throughout. It was a radical new proceedure and in the end, well, we are what we are now. We grew taller and even more attractive. We were what we wanted to be at long last... and then things got out of hand between us."
Kendra tisked. "It wasn't as bad as you make it sound-"
"Yes. It totally was" Shar cut her off and narrowed her eyes.
Kendra glared right back. "Well, if we're talking about when you uppercut me during sex-"
Shar interrupted again. "That wasn't sex, it was torture. You turned into a total amatuer dominatrix! Now, worse than that. You had zero regard for your partner, who was me, by the way!"
"Oh, don't be a prude! It's not like we hadn't already had bruising sex in bed before the transition, right?"
Shar scoffed. "Blindfolds, gags and floggings are usually something you discuss as pregame to your partner, not something you ambush them with! You kept tying me down and when I struggled or objected you would leave me tied down until you felt I 'learned my lesson'!"
Mabel held up her hands at this, silencing both parties as voices started to get higher again. "Deep breathes, ladies, don't make me seperate you."
After a moment, Kendra spoke again. "You'll be happy to know I've learned my own lessons. A very kind mare gave me proper training and tutoring and I know how to treat my pets and how not to treat them." Shar was unimpressed.
"Still obsessed with making others 'pets', huh?"
"After a very harsh break-up, it's only natural to turn to a loving pet," the zebra shot back before turning to Mabel. "Anyhow, we seperated post-transition and went our seperate ways. I made a career in business and some contacts I gained from OmniMed and since their headquarters has relocated, I thought it appropriate to settle somewhere where it won't take upwards of two hours to go to work each day."
"And by 'chance'," Shar mocked making air quotes, "you happened to run into me."
Kendra tittered again and leaned back in her chair. "You're half right, at least. Finding you here was entirely coincidence since I'd only just learned that at the end of summer you just up and left behind everything and everyone you knew. A little island vacation meant to let you relax and what do you do? You run off to the other end of the country with your own little harlot."
This time it was Mabel who interrupted, slamming a palm on the table and rattling all three chairs. Her amber eyes narrowed dangerously and even Shar felt a little twinge of fear; the labrador had yet to ever see Mabel lose her temper and it was a truly intimidating sight. "That's my neice you're talking about," the bovine female muttered evenly. "I'll not tolerate you or anyone disrespecting her. Do I make myself clear."
Kendra recovered rather quickly, though she had clearly been rattled by the fearsome bovine. "No disrespect intended, Miss Mabel, she's very dear to me too."
An alarm went off in Shar's head. She looked to Mabel and saw the same surprise in her eyes as they both rounded on the zebra. "What are you talking about?" they demanded in unison and earned another titter.
"So serious all of a sudden!" she mused and gestured to Shar's paw. "Since you've still got my phone, I'll let you do the honors. Go ahead and slide to the more recent pictures and you'll see what I mean. <3"
Shar's heart dropped. Picture after picture was of Kacey. Her Kacey, dizzy-eyed with arousal and in a variety of poses wearing the skimpiest maid outfit. It would have aroused Shar instantly had Kendra not ignighted the old anger in her soul. Now the cold weight in her stomach increased with every picture. They started vanilla enough but soon they became more and more lewd, showcasing the progress of Kendra's gradual manipulation. Soon Shar's hear tbegan to break as she slid past picture after picture of cum-covered Kaceys, bound and gagged Kacey's with eyes shining with enjoyment and pleasure. When she got to the photos of Kacey lewdly grinning and making double peace signs while riding a familiar black cock, Shar practically threw the phone back to the zebra. Shar's grief was nearly overwhelming, her vision blurry with tears as she turned her anger back to the zebra responsible for it all.
"What do you want."
"I'm sorry, what was that?" Kendra purred, one of her ear flicking in the canine's direction. "You'll have to speak up, dearie. <3"
Shar collected herself for a moment before speaking, swallowing down the sobs of sadness and anger. "What do I have to do to get her back?"
Kendra clapped her hands together and sighed whistfully, looking at the ceiling for a while before looking into Shar's teary eyes. "I want you to come back to me, puppy. All I've ever wanted was you. I've coverted and tamed so many pets since we broke up but none could ever fill the space you left in my life. There's a Shar-shaped hole in my heart and it can only be patched by having you back." At Shar's repulsed expression she added, "I've learned so much now, I told you! Your little bun has never felt a hint of pain or discomfort and she's even asked me to do some of these things to her. She's free to leave anytime... but she doesn't want to. <3"
"And you know her parents are out of town, right?" Mabel added, now crossing her arms under her chest in defiance.
"Of course! And while she is very fun to play with, she still can't hold a candle to you, Shar. Shame too, that Kacey can really guzzle cum. Of course, it's thanks to my veggie and fruit diet that it just tastes so good to her-"
Slap!
This time it was Mabel to again lose her temper and lean across the table to slap Kendra across the face. The sound was so sharp that all conversation in the cafe went silent and even the composed zebra was stunned into silence. The tall bovine stood and glared down at Kendra as she spoke, her voice just loud enough to break the quiet. "That's quite enough. I'll not let you use my neice like some pawn in your grand scheme. You will return her to us right now or-"
"Or what?" Kendra snapped, finding her nerve again. "She's currently devoted to my cock and my glorious cum! I doubt she'll even remember your names let alone want to leave my side!"
Shar found her strength and stood, the bulge of her sheath visible for all through her tight leggings. "Wanna bet?" she muttered and stood boob-to-boob with her ex. "We'll do this how you prefer: a contest. We make our case and let kacey choose who to go with. If she stays with you... I'll be your pet again. But if I win, she comes back with me and you will never try to seduce her again. Deal?"
Kendra frowned. "So either way you get to be with her, is that it?"
Shar nodded. "Deal? This is the only chance I'll give you to take me back... your reluctant slave pet. I know how you fantasize about breaking in your pets. Are you going to let that pass by?"
Slowly the frown turned to a sinister grin and the zebra nodded. "Deal."
"Well," Mabel added, standing so quickly her ample chest threatened to bounce out of her sweater, "we will take this someplace proper. Kendra, bring Kacey to my Farm tonight. I'll judge and we can settle this once and for all."
"Very well," Kendra purred and made a show of tossing her braided mane and pocketing her phone. "Just you wait, Shar, you'll soon by my precious puppy again. Until then, farewell to you and your dairy. <3"
As soon as Kendra departed, Mabel was the one who huffed out a quick, "I'll show her a dairy." Pausing to collect herself, the bovine turned and began gathering her knitting supplies. Seeing Shar do the same she asked, "So, what's your plan, hun? Can you think of something that will get Kacey back to her normal self?"
Gathering a small paper shopping bag, Shar nodded, wiping her eyes. "I think so... I just hope she'll forgive me for giving her solstice gift early..."

To be concluded...!
