Costume Rabbit Night

This was the story for the monthly vote.  I am also trying to do better in the TF sub genera and hope that reflects here.

Costume Rabbit Night.

Samantha reached into her purse as her phone began to ring. “Hello?”

“Sammy. It’s Ben. How are you doing?”

She sighed. “Hey, Ben. Having another get-together, are you?”

“What? I haven’t even said anything yet?”

She rolled her green eyes. “Because you only call when you want me to come over for one of your crazy parties.” She tapped her left hand on the table. “Why don’t you ever call for, I don’t know, coffee? Or maybe to go out to eat? With how much we see each other, you would think we would do something besides hang out at silly parties.”

“They are not silly. They are the best thing this side of the state.”

She laughed. “Oh, please. You rent a dingy motel half the time. My cousins twenty birthday party was better than your last three parties, and we just went down to the beach down the road and went skinny dipping.”

“Hey, I don’t want to hear what crazy shit your family finds fun. Look, are you coming or not?”

Samantha shrugged. “Who knows? I might be busy this week.”

“What about tonight?”

She held out her hand in front her of head and examined her nails.

“Let me check my schedule.” She waited a long and excruciating minute. “I think so. But I will have to just squeeze it in.”

“Ughhh. Well, make adjustments, Sammy. And get a costume. A Wonderland costume.”

She arched an eyebrow. “Why?”

“Because I am going to throw the biggest theme party of the year. Vess is not going to out stage me another year.” There was a moment of silence. “I will see you in about two hours then. Catch you then.”  The line went dead.

Samantha sighed. “A Wonderland-themed party?” She shook her head and slid her phone back into her purse. “Well, at least it isn’t just going to be another drunken motel visit.” Her phone vibrated. “I knew he forgot something.” She pulled out her phone to see a text from Ben.

“Oh, I forgot. The part will be at the Wondersky Motel. I know that you can find it as it is the same place as before. I just thought that since it is a Wonderland-themed party that, Wondersky would be a great place to have it, right? I knew you would agree.”

Samantha slapped her face. “Cheap ass.” She shook her face. “Now, I almost wish I had something going on tonight.” She set her phone down the side of the oak table. “I guess it is a good thing I have an Alice costume from last year.” She laughed as she walked into the next room. “My boyfriend at the time insisted that we go to this parade as Alice and the Mad Hatter, but when I actually tried and met up with him, he had taken some bimbo I didn’t know in a Red Queen outfit.” She shook her head. “It was the worst Halloween I had ever had.”

She opened her closet and pulled the Alice dress down from a hanger. “Well, it will be nice to get dressed up again. Even if I am going to be with a bunch of drunk fools.” She threw the dress onto the floor. “That is the only issue I have with Ben’s parties.” She pulled out the white apron and leggings. “He sometimes supplies too much booze.” Samantha pulled out the petticoat and turned around. “There, I think that is everything for the outfit except for the heels. But I left those by the door.” She laughed. “I like those so much I wear those casually.”

She threw her clothes onto the floor and shook her long dark hair. Samantha then slid the long white tights up her pale skin. “Wow, I forgot how tight of a fit these things are.” She winced as she pulled them up around her waist. “Ok, that is good.” She then picked up the dress and slid it over her body, followed by the apron. Finally, she slid the petticoat up under her dress. “Nice, I look like Alice already.” Samantha admired herself in the mirror. “Well, I hope that no one else dresses up like her at the party, or this will be embarrassing.”

She sighed. “Still, I feel like something is missing.” She snapped her fingers. “The bow.” She twisted around and searched her closet. “I know it’s around here somewhere. Ugh.”

She pushed on the sides of her dress and squeezed into her closet. “I should have gotten the bow out of here before putting on this puffy petticoat.” She shook her head and noticed the white bow sitting on a ledge above her head. “There it is.” She reached up and grabbed it. “Got you.”

Samantha then fell backward and out of the closet. “Ouff.” She fell onto her butt and rubbed her head. “Well, at least I am ready to go.” She tied the bow around her chest. “Hopefully, it will be better than I am expecting.” She made her way to her feet. “And nothing weird will happen this time.”

About an hour later, Samantha stood outside of the Wondersky motel as she hugged herself for warmth. “I don’t know why Ben thought it was a good idea to have a costume party in winter. I should have remembered my coat.” She walked forward, her Alice dress dragging in the nearby snow. “When I get inside, I am going to hover over one of the vents until I warm up. Brrr.”

She walked up to a door covered in giant playing cards and teacups. “I am guessing this is the room Ben rented this time.” She shivered and ran her hands along her dress before she knocked. “Well, it better be. I can’t stand being out here another minute.”

The door suddenly opened, and Norman blinked his amber eyes at him. “Oh, hey, Samantha.”

She shivered as she answered. “Hey. Where is your costume?”

“I am not dressing up no matter how much Ben complains.” He crossed his dark arms. “He can whine all he wants, but I only dress up when I want to. Besides, have you seen how cold it is outside? You would have to be crazy to dress up today.”

Samantha snorted. “I know, right. Now can you let me inside?”

“Oh, sorry.” He stepped aside.

She rushed inside and shivered as Norman closed the door behind her. “Any longer out there, and I would have turned into a popsicle.” She looked around at the half a dozen people gathered in the small room in Alice in Wonderland outfits. “Bigger turn out than Ben usually gets.”

“Ya, but don’t tell him that.” Norman leaned against the door. “You know how he is with these things.” He laughed. “Also, nice dress Sammy.”

She brushed the snow off of her dress. “You know I hated it when people call me that.”

“Ya, that is why I called you that.” He laughed and walked away.

She looked around the room. “Well, I don’t see Ben anywhere. This is my time to hit the refreshments.”

She walked over to a table full of Eat Me cookies, and red punch marked Drink Me. “Well, isn’t this quaint.” She picked up a cookie. “Mhhm, chocolate chip.”

“Oh, hey, Sammy.”

She looked up to see Ben as he adjusted his giant hat. “Oh, nice Mad Hatter outfit.”

“Thanks.” He set down a plate of carrots. “Like the Wonderland-themed food?”

“Umm, I guess. But what are the carrots for?”

“Umm, duh. From Fredricks Rabbits garden, what else?”

“Hey, Ben.” He turned his head. “Where is the booze already?”

He turned around. “Don’t worry, Ester. I will go outside and bring it in.” He turned his head. “I will be right back, Sammy. Enjoy yourself. Mingle. You know. Have fun until I bring in the fun stuff.” He rushed off.”

She sighed. “Ya, whatever.” She picked up a carrot. “I am not sure I am going to stay long once the beer is out anyways.” Her eyes went wide after she took a bite out of the carrot.

“Wow, this thing is strong.” She took another bite. “What did Ben put into this? It is a waterfall of favors.” She shook her head. “Whoh.”

“Hey, Sammy, hold this.” Ben thrust a six-pack of beer into her hands. He then set the rest of the beverages onto the table before taking the booze out of her hands. “Ok, everyone, time to party.” He then put the beer down on the table.

Samantha smiled as her heart began to race. Ben looked at her. “Hey, are you alright?”

“Of course. Why do you ask?”

“Your cheeks are all red.”

Samantha shook her head. “I just feel a bit hot. I think the change in temperature is getting to me. I was freezing just minutes ago, and now it is so hot in here.”

Ben laughed. “What are you talking about? IT is almost as cold in here as it is outside.” He narrowed his green eyes at her. “You are not sick or something, are you?”

“Of course not.” She took a deep breath. “Just because I feel a little hot doesn’t mean there is something wrong with me.” She scratched at the side of her dress. “And itchy.

Why is it so muggy in here?”

Ben sighed. “Look, Sammy. Thanks for coming and all but ya.” He turned around. “Heather.”

Samantha continued to scratch at her chest. “Ugh, what is going on?” She looked around. “I need to get to the bathroom. I am guessing that is where they have the controls to the heat around here as I haven’t seen it anywhere else in this beaten-down dump.” She shook her head. “Otherwise, I might have to spend the party sitting just outside the door.

That will be sooo much fun.”

She made her way to the bathroom. Once inside, she closed the door behind her. “Ok, where is the humidity control.” She shook her head. “Ugh danmit, all I don’t’ see it. Uhhhh.” She began to rub her right hand vigorously. “This itching is getting out of control.” Tiny white hairs began to poke out of her hand as she scratched. “Huh?” She held her shaky hand in front of her face as thick white hair covered the back of it.“What is happening to me? Owww!”

Samantha grabbed her head as searing pain raced through her head. “My ears.

They are burning up.” She shook her head back and forth. “Ugh.” She watched in the mirror as her ears extended outward, becoming long, floppy, and covered in white fur. She twitched her ears, the tips hitting the mirror. “Ugh, this is crazy.” She grabbed her floppy ears. “I can’t go back out there like this. Ugh, my hand.” She looked at her big fluffy hand. “I am dreaming. I am dreaming.”

She put her hands on the sink and took a deep breath. “Just walk out of the bathroom and head for you’re before anything else happens.” She shook her head. “Ugh, it is still so damn hot.” Samantha pinned her long floppy ears down inside her dress and slid her right hand, which was starting to look more and more like a paw under her apron. “Just hurry out before anyone notices.” She used her other hand and opened the door.

Once out of the bathroom, her senses were overwhelmed. She stood there sniffing the air. “Oh god.” She took a deep breath in and twitched her nose. “I can smell everything.” She sniffed again as her nose shrunk on her face. “Oh god, that carrot smell is oh so overwhelming.” She twitched her little nose again. “Need to focus.”

She took a few steps forward as her left hand began to itch. “Ugh, not now.” She slid it under her apron as she made her way to the door.

“Sammy, hey.”

She turned around to see Ben standing there with a beer in his hands. “I didn’t get to really talk with you before. So how do you like the party?”

“I umm. . .” She scratched at her leg as fur grew and caused her tights to stretch. “I think I forgot part of my outfit at home, and I am going to go and get it really quick.”

Ben laughed. “Oh, come on. It isn’t that big of a deal.” He threw his arm around her. “You have a wonderful Alice outfit as it is.”

She felt her heels tighten around her feet. “Oh, I need to.” She rapidly slammed her right foot down on the ground. “I need to complete this outfittttt.”

Ben raised an eyebrow. “I mean, I guess if you say so. You are acting a bit weird, though, Sammy. Did you have a bit too much beer?”

She nodded her head. “Yes. That.” She winced as her feet began to push through her shoes. “Ughhhh.”

“Hey, if you are going to hurl, take it into the bathroom.”

She bent over and put her hands on a nearby table. “Uhhhgghh.” Her white furry paws tightened around the table cloth. “My feet are killing me.”

Ben took a few steps back. “Hey, Sammy, what is going on? What is wrong with your hands?” She shook her head, and her long floppy ears popped out. “Holy!”

Suddenly her feet burst through her heels. She took a long deep breath as her fluffy feet grew outward, and the remains of her heels fell off to the sides. “That feels so much better.” She tapped her floppy feet on the ground. “So good.”

She looked around as everyone stared at her. “Oh no.” She hopped backward and fell onto her rear end, unstable on her new legs. “Stop staring at me.”

Ben walked forward. “Sammy, what is going on?”

She shook her head as fur sprouted out of her legs. “I don’t know.” She winced. “I ate one of those carrots, and I suddenly felt warm.” She watched as Heather dropped one of the carrots. “Ugh, I am starting to feel very fuzzy.” She twitched her nose. “That carrot smell is becoming overwhelming.”

Ben extended out his hand. “Hey, why don’t we get you outside, ok?” He turned around. “Then we lock her out.”

She sniffed the air. “Ohhh, those carrots smell soooo good.” She hopped onto her hands and feet, overcome by the smell. She ran towards the bowl of juicy carrots as her teeth flattened and two long buck teeth grew out of her mouth. Samantha began to devour the carrots, fur growing out of her face.

Ben pulled on her arm. “Sammy, get a hold of yourself.”

She looked at him. “Huh?” She twitched her ears. “Ben? What is happening to me?”

“I umm.”

Samantha grabbed her ass and groaned as the sound of clothing ripping filled the air. Moments later, a fluffy white tail appeared on her bunny body.

She hopped her way to the door and wiggled her little bunny tail. “Why is the feeling getting even worse?” She put her right paw on her chest. “I need to get outside.” She hopped out into the open night air and looked up at the moon. “Ohhh.” Her heart raced.

Instinct began to take over, filling her thoughts. Samantha shook her head and twitched her ears as she tried to stay in control, her body still on fire. “Fuck.” She grabbed her boobs. “They are so sensitive all of a sudden. She rubbed them as they began to grow. “What is going on?”

Her dress began to rip and tear, revealing her fluffy body. She fell down onto all fours as her breasts continued to grow, her nipples hardening. Samantha giggled as she continued to change, instinct claiming her mind. “Like I want to find someone to have a maddening good time with tonight.” She ripped off the rest of her clothes and threw them to the side. “Ohhh, yes.”

With a twitch of her tail and a maddening giggle, she hopped off into the night.

The following day Samantha awoke at the foot of her doorstep. “Ugh, what happened?” She shook her head and stood up. “I don’t remember anything after eating one of those danmned carrots.”

She made her way to her feet. “I guess I found my way at home at least. I just wish I knew why I am naked.” She looked down at her chest. “Goodness. How did my boobies get so big?” She held her hand over her mouth and giggled. “I said boobies.” She giggled again. “Something funny happened last night, and I think I am still fuzzy-headed.” She turned around and opened her front door. “Well, I hope that it is over mostly.” She twitched her long floppy ears and bunny tail as she walked inside her house.
