Magical Misfire
By born2beagator and Boitin
	
Asher was tired of his roommate, Ben. He'd do anything to have the room to himself. They lived in a small apartment on the edge of town, near some farmlands. It was Saturday and he was rummaging
through a garage sale on one of these farms. Strangely, the farm seemed to be purely a donkey farm, and Asher could hear braying quite often.
Suddenly he found something interesting. A donkey statue. A tag on it read: "Is your roommate an ass? Would you like to get rid of him? Well today is your lucky day. Simple say the words Equus
africanus asinus to him and your wish will come true. A word of warning, only works on the weak willed.
	
"How much for this?" Asher called to the farmer.
"Oh it's free for you! I know a customer in need when I see one." The farmer replied.
Asher took the statue with a smirk and headed home.
A silent Saturday with the whole room for himself, Ben couldn't be happier. After their usual banter Asher had left, and so Ben could finally get some work done for his classes. He grabbed a can of
coke and sat down in front of his Laptop.
Statue in hand, Asher entered their apartment. "Ben I'm home!"
With a short sigh Ben acknowledged the return of his annoying roommate but didn't even bother to stop his work and say hello.
Asher smirked. Here goes nothing. "Ben? Can we talk? I want to show you the awesome statue I bought."
Be just rolled his eyes; "Why can't he keep quiet for at least some time!" He thought, but knowing Asher wouldn't stop asking him he stopped typing and turned to his roommate; "What is it what kind of
rubbish did you buy?"
"Take a look at this!" Asher held up the statue.
Ben took a scrutinizing look at the small statue. It was made out of black Stone and had the shape of an equine creature. "Well what about it, nice dust collector!" Ben mocked.
	
"Well very simple. It's an Equus africanus asinus. In other words, a donkey." Asher felt the statue vibrate. Was it actually working???
	
Ben was surprised by the sudden knowledge of his roommate. But as soon as Asher had spoken the words pictures of donkeys roaming wide green pastures filled his head, and his ears started to itch.
	
"How do you feel bud?" Asher asked, anxious to see what it would do.
	
"What...I..." Ben couldn't grasp a clear thought. On one hand he tried focusing on his roommate and the work he still had to do..on the other there were those pictures of donkeys grazing, braying and
running around. Worst of all the itching seemed to get worse and then there now was the feeling as if his ears were stretching.
	
Asher watched in amazement as Ben's ears began to stretch away from his head, the skin turning dark brown and hair beginning to poke out. He realized what they looked like and almost burst out
laughing. "Well, it looks like you are an Equus africanus asinus." Asher joked. His roommate always was an ass, now he'd look like one too.
	
Ben looked at Asher in anger but he couldn't throw back anything as the donkeys seemed to start fill his mind, although he never liked them. They were always keeping him awake braying loudly at the
farms during the nights. Besides the strange feelings he got from his ears the bottom of his shorts started to strain against the small of his back. "What...whats happening!" Ben finally managed to
mumble.
	
"I do believe you are going to be living on that farm from now on, donkey." Asher said gleefully.
	
"Donkey?!" Ben stuttered. At first he thought his roommate was deranged but then he slowly started to move his hands up to his head and started probing his ears. At first the shock let the blood freeze
in his vessels ad he felt his now furry and long ears for the first time, but then his view fell on the small black statue in the hands of the gleefully grinning Asher. "You! What have you done you despicable
little pest!"
	
"You should be braying you dumb animal!" Asher said. "Hurry up and get out to the pasture so I can have my room."
	
"Your room! Looks like you would stop at nothing". Ben shouted. Although the pressure in his pants grew stronger, his fear of changing was replaced by fury now.
	
"Didn't you hear me? You are an animal Ben! Bray for me and go to the pasture where you belong." Asher repeated.
	
"Ha you would like that wouldn't you! Oh no if I go down you will as well. Actually think you would make the better ass out of the two of us. You are lazy, sleep all day and if you don't you eat and trash the
place with your garbage!" Ben retorted.
	
"Didn't you hear me you dumb jackass! Bray for me!" Asher said, a little worried. Had something gone wrong?
	
"Oh I think you could do that much better than me! Come on Asher let it out. Let out what you really are!" Ben answered his fear now totally gone and the donkeys slowly vanishing out of his mind.
	
"Ben you are an animal! Bray!!!" Asher said desperately as Ben's ears slowly started to recede. An image of a donkey suddenly entered his mind.
	
"Yeah sure I don't think so. Come on Asher why don't you let me hear what you really are?" Ben paused and grinned before he said;" You are nothing more than a jackass and what does a donkey say?"
	
Asher's mind was clouding. Images of donkeys grazing peacefully entered his head as Ben's ears returned to normal. "Wait...what happened?" Asher asked, looking around.
	
Ben felt his ears returning to normal human proportions. He wasn't a malicious person but what Asher had tried, and the strange way he wanted to achieve his goals made him furious and his only thoughts
were circling around revenge; "Well Asher I am waiting how does a donkey sound?"
	
Asher was confused. How did a donkey sound? Suddenly one of the creatures appeared in his head. "Oh. Hee haw." He mock brayed.
	
"Oh I know you can do better than that! Come on Asher you can do it you jackass!" Ben taunted his roommate who suddenly seemed quite confused.
	
"I'm...a jackass?" Asher asked. A donkey brayed in his mind and he shook his head.
	
"Yep you are but donkeys don't talk how do they sound Asher?" Ben continued and watched as Asher started to get a dazed look.
	
The braying returned in his mind stronger than before. He found himself mouthing along with it silently.
	
"No come on let it out I know you want to!" Ben started again.
	
Asher kept mouthing with the braying in his head. Suddenly something bubbled in his chest and the mouthing became labored. "He huh, he huh, hee hu, hee hau, hee aww....AAAWWWWWWWWW-
HEEEE-HAAAAWWWW!"
	
"Now that is more like it! Ben called out and clapped his hands; "Now how did that feel?"
	
"Really good...I don't know why..." Asher said with confusion.
	
"Good just let it happen when it wants to get out!" Ben said;" Well what now..ah yes I think that should be next! Hm can you feel it? Can you feel it wriggle ever so slowly on the small of your back?" Ben
watched as he saw a small bump forming at the back of Asher's shorts.
	
"Oh Ben...it feels so goodawwwwwww...." Asher moaned.
	
"It sure does, doesn't it? Can you feel it grow? Any idea what it could be?" Ben asked smirking when thinking about what would soon burst through the shorts of his roomie.
	
Images of long, ropey donkey tails flowed through Asher's mind. He shook his head as the feeling intensified. "It feels...like a tail. But I'm not an animal...."
	
Ben continued, while looking at the young man who wouldn't be one for much longer; "Oh not yet, but don't you want to feel it, don't you want to know how it feels to have one. Wouldn't you like to know
how it is having one swinging between your legs?"
	
The image of a tail once again popped into Asher's head. It still didn't seem quite right. "But...I'm human. We don't have tails."
	
"True Asher but then again you often behave like a jackass, and don't do jackasses have tails?" Ben suggested in a sweet voice.
	
"They do...but look at me...I'm a human." Asher said as he felt a tingle run down his spine.
	
"But why are you growing a tail then Asher!" Ben asked and knew that his roommate and pain in the ass was close to breaking.
	
Asher was stumped there. He felt the tail push into his pants. "I don't know..."
	
"Oh don't you see the big bulge in the back of your shorts? Oh my Asher I would say you are growing a donkey tail, wouldn't you as well? Don't you want to let it out, see how it looks? Don't you want to
give it a nice firm tug and feel the tassel?"
	
"Hawwwwww....that does sound niceeeehaw." Asher said as he felt the tail straining against his shorts.
	
"Well just bend over a little bit then, let it push through your shorts, Asher! You are a donkey and donkeys have tails so let's see yours!" Ben suggested. Asher was slowly being consumed by the thoughts
of being a jackass.
	
Asher bend over and felt the tail pushing hard against his shorts, he felt his boxers rip. "Ohhawwwwheeehawww! I have tail!" He said as he felt it rubbing against the denim.
	
"Very well Asher and what does that make you?" Ben asked with a smirk.
	
"I am a jaheeeeeehawwackass!" He said as the tail now pressed obscenely into his shorts.
	
"Good Asher! Just a little bit more. We want to see your tail right? Maybe if you sound a little bit more like a jackass it will come out!"
	
Asher nodded. "I want my tail! Haw HEEEE haw!!!!"
	
"No Asher come on don't you want to rip your shorts with your tail, come on show me what a jackass you are ! Ben taunted his roommate reveling in the might he had over Asher.
	
Asher was in ecstasy as the tail jabbed into his shorts one last time. "OH! I think it's coming!"
	
"Good a little bit more! Give in Asher I know you want it. I know you want that strong ropy tail, with the tassel on its end."
	
"I do! I'm a donkey!!!!!!" Asher said as he bent over further.
	
Ben watched as Asher's shorts ripped and his tail hung free between his roommate's legs, swishing lazily from time to time. "Now doesn't that feel better?"
	
Asher looked back at the gray furred tail. He picked it up and marveled at how smooth the black hair of his tassel was. "I feel dumb Ben." Asher said stupidly.
	
"That all right Asher, give in. Donkeys don't need to be smart, they only need food, sleep and fresh air!" Ben told him. "Don't you like to have no worries in your life?"
	
But Asher's mind was elsewhere. "There was a nice looking jenny on that farm today..." He said wistfully, tail swaying behind him.
	
"Oh well we won't keep two jackasses apart for long shall we?" Amused by how far his roommate had already degraded Ben thought about what to change next. He examined Asher from head to toe,
grinning as the tail swayed again. "But don't you need a nice and shiny coat of fur to impress your jennet Asher?"
	
"Of courseeeeehawwww!" Asher replied. The images of donkeys was clear in his head now. He belonged with them. Every now and then a small voice would scream at him, as if something was wrong, but
then one of the donkeys would bray and drown it out.
	
"Can you feel the itch Asher? That's your fur and look at your growing mane. Oh you are a great jack, Asher! You will fit in with the other donkeys on the farm quite well!"
	
Asher began to scratch. His skin was darkened to a proper hide color but no fur. You are turning into a jackass! Snap out of it!!!! A voice suddenly broke through the fog. He looked back at the tail.
"WHAT THE----!"
	
Ben immediately recognized that Ashers' mind was clearing up, he couldn't allow that to happen or he would probably end up as the jack hunting after the Jenny. "Oh Asher just a bit more don't you want
to have a nice coat of fur to keep you warm. I am sure it will keep you warm and will be far better than any human clothes!"
	
The sun was setting outside, and Asher's mind continued to clear. He felt strange...but happy. Acting as if he didn't hear his roommate, he asked: "So what do you want to do tonight?"
	
"No" Ben replied surprised by the sudden change of his roommates behavior. "No just doing some work for tomorrow and heading of to bed". He answered looking at Asher who seemed totally oblivious
of his darkened skin and long ropey tail.
	
But Asher pressed. "There has to be something we can do together for fun." Asher liked fun.
	
"I don't think I want to do something together with you!" Ben replied and snatched the statue from Asher's hand.
	
"But roomieeeeehawww!? We never do anything together." Asher pleaded.
	
"Yeah and there are reason for that!" Ben replied locking the statue away in one of his drawers.
	
"I know, I've been a jackass!" Asher said. "But what do you expect??"
	
With the statue save from Asher, Ben thought about it and he remembered some old cartoon he once watched. "You know what Asher you are right we should do something how about buying you some
beer at the Pub?"
	
"That sounds good!" Asher said excitedly.
	
"Well ok just let go, it's still nice and warm outside, nothing better than a cold beer for the jack? Right Asher? Ben said grabbing his keys.
	
"Right!" Asher said as he headed to the car. Sitting down was hard, but he managed by sitting sideways to allow his tail to lay across the seat. His tail.... "Roomie? Why do I have a tail?" He asked
curiously as Ben sat down in the driver's seat.
	
"Well you are a jackass and those have tails, you always told me you liked your tail". Ben answered as if it was the most natural thing, when he started the ignition of his old car.
	
Asher played with his tail as they headed to the Pub. It was so strange. He rubbed up and down the gray fur, played with the smooth tassel, and even pulled on it a little. Surprisingly, he felt like he was
pulling on his spine. "I do likeeeeehawww my tail. I don't know how I lived without it!"
	
"Yeah I know you always brag about having one!" Ben answered, while taking a small detour, driving past one of the big pastures of the donkey farm. He wanted to know how Asher would react when
seeing and hearing one. At first the whole meadow seemed empty but then a bray was heard and a big jack marched directly into their direction so Ben slowed down and waited what would happen.
	
"Hey! A donkey!" Asher stuck his head out as it brayed at him. The sound made his ears twitch. "Hawwww-hee! To you too!" He replied pulling his head back in. In the rearview mirror he saw that his
skin was now a dark black. "Ben??? I was white earlier wasn't I?"
	
"Are you joking you always had dark skin, I don't think you even need a beer!" Ben replied, still he chuckled inwardly as his former Caucasian roommate now had almost night-black skin. He accelerated
again and they left the big jack behind.
	
"I forgot something Ben, where do we work?"
	
"We don't have any jobs currently we are still at college, but you used to help out at one of the donkey farms like a good jackass such as yourself should!" Ben explained while the now reached the little
city near their Campus
	
"You know Ben, I used to think jackass was an insult. But for some reason, I like that word now!" Asher said as he felt a tugging in his ears.
	
"I am glad you do, I think this word will stick too you from now on!" Ben said while parking the old shabby car, noticing how his roommate's ears slowly got pointy. "It is still working and he even has no
clue what is happening to him". He thought. "Well let's get you some beer bro!"
	
Asher walked behind his roommate, thoughts of donkeys filling his mind. "Jackass.....I'm a jackass." He said quietly as he felt the tugging return.
	
The two walked through the streets, which were filled by other students as it was one of those first nice warm evenings, a few ogled Asher and his swaying tail, but soon shrugged it off and didn't
bother the two. The headed forward one of the less populated bars and entered. "Well Asher what beer can I buy you!" Ben asked when they sat down, not leaving his changing roomy out of his sight for
once.
	
"You know, I don't think I want beer. Do they have any sugar cubes?" Asher asked. He wanted something sweet.
	
"Sugar cubes? Well let's ask the waitress" Ben said and waved the young women over at their table. "Can we I have a tonic water and a few sugar cubes for my friend?"
	
The waitress looked at him; "Sugar cubes?"
	
"Yes some sugar cubes nothing else!" Ben repeated. The woman rolled her eyes mumbling something about obnoxious college brats but a few minutes later she returned with the drink and a small plate
filled with sugar cubes, which Ben placed in front of Asher.
	
Asher didn't bother with a fork. He simply put his mouth to the plate and let his lips grab the sugar cube. He brought his head up and smiled at Ben. "These are good. You know what would make them
better? Can you pull on my ears? They itch."
	
Ben looked at Asher with glee, seeing his roomies lips getting rubbery. "Well sure what friend would I be if I wouldn't help out my bro" Ben reached for Asher's still small but pointy ears and started to
scratch them, feeling as soft, velvety fur started to grow on them before he gave them a nice tug.
	
Asher bent down and sucked up another sugar cube. "Keep going Ben, that feels really good."
	
Ben moved his fingers along the tips of Asher's ears which slowly started to elongate. It was odd how the flesh changed and grew longer. Under his probing fingers Ben felt how they started to twitch
like real donkey ears as new muscles and tendons grew, and soon they were almost a foot long. Soft grey fur started to grow on them and made Asher look more like what he soon would end up as: a young
donkey jack.
	
"Oh that feels better." Asher said. Then he felt it bubbling up in his throat. "Ben! What happens if I make that noise in here?" Asher said in a strangled voice as he looked around nervously at the
other people. He didn't know if he could hold it in.
	
"Oh do what feels good Asher, I am your friend! I will help you whatever happens!" Ben reassured his roomie, while looking around. There were not many people around and aside from the waitress who
had actually talked with them all the other patrons would actually think that's just some drunk college kid pulling a prank.
	
"Do what feels good. I like that." Asher said as he stopped holding it down. He started heaving. "Heee-HAW-heee-HAW-heee-HAW!"
	
Ben looked in awe as Asher let out the series of brays, they sounded exactly like those of the donkeys from the farm. As predicted none of the other quests really cared about the young man with the
long ears making donkey sounds. Ben looked at Asher who had a happy smile on his face slurping down another sugar cube. He almost started to feel bad about what he was doing to his roommate then
again it was exactly what Asher had planned for him so this feeling of remorse vanished again. "Well bro do you feel better now? What do you want to do next?"
	
Asher's mind was consumed by donkeys. They were all he thought about. All he wanted to talk about. "Hey Ben, what do you think of donkeys?"
	
"Well they are barnyard animals! What to think about them, many say they are stupid but well actually they are quite smart, did you know they once were used by Karawans to help them to get back in case
they got lost?"
	
Asher listen raptly, tail swaying languidly behind him. He did enjoy the feeling of the frayed jeans rubbing against its base. "Tell me more!"
	
"What more is there ah they are related to Zebras as well". Ben continued looking at Asher whose ears were standing straight over his head showing his attention.
	
Asher couldn't get enough. "Just a little more!"
	
"Well in the wild the live in small herds that can join together into bigger groups of more than 60 animals, when they are grazing."
	
A strange thought entered Asher's head. "What's it like to be one?" He asked as he braced his chin on his hands, soft lips flapping occasionally.
	
Ben looked at Asher; he was changing faster now. His lips now rubbery like those of a donkey and it seemed as if his face was slowly starting to push into a muzzle, still you had to look close to
recognize it. Ben tried to imagine the life of a donkey; "Well I have read that they can be diurnal as well as nocturnal, young donkeys might run around play with each other the older ones would graze,
and lie in the shadow when it is hot."
	
"That sounds....fun..." Asher said. "Hawww-hee!"
	
Ben looked at Asher his eyes were hazy and his ears twitching from time to time. "Well would you like to go to the pasture to see for yourself?"
	
"Actually...Do you have Pinocchio? I wanna watch that. Its been a while."
	
"Pinocchio? Sure I guess I can find it somewhere on the net!" Ben said. He paid the bill and led Asher out of the pub. While they walked toward the car Asher seemed to limp from time to time. Ben
looked down at his roomies feet. It seemed they had grown a bit as his toes stretched over the rubber soles of his flip-flops, and for a moment Ben thought the nails where changing their color. But no
maybe the light of the setting sun was playing tricks on him, then again Asher now had the ears and tail of a jackass. They reached the car and ben drove them back to the Campus.
	
Asher got out of the car and pitched forward. "Oawwwwwww!"
	
Ben watched as Asher toppled over to catch himself with his hands. Now on all fours he remained still for a moment but when he tried to stand up again his legs wouldn't do as he wanted them to. Ben
looked at them again and saw the reason for it. What he first thought to be a figment of his Imagination was actually happening. Bens legs where changing, His feet had grown twice their size.
	
His flip flops strained against them as his middle toe started to elongate, the nail thickening while the others seemed to shrink down. Asher's shins got longer and thinner while his thighs shortened and
got flatter. His legs now looked like an odd mixture of human and donkey. He tried to stand up again but it didn't work. He was getting frustrated.
	
"I can't get up Ben, can you help?" Asher asked with a frustrated bray.
	
Ben looked at Asher, moving around on hands and changing feet. "What would I help you with Asher? You are a jackass, though you are a little bit small maybe you are just a foal. Guess I have to help you
then. Come on bud lean on to me I will drag you up to the room". Ben said helping Asher up again and moving to their room.
	
"I am having a hard time standing...." Asher said as Ben helped his roommate into the living room. His hind legs were wobbly on his hooves.
	
"Well why don't you try standing on your legs and hands!" Ben suggested, to Asher who suddenly felt lighter than before
	
"For now just help me to the couch please." Asher said.
	
Ben helped his roomie to the couch who suddenly seemed to have shrunk two inches. Ben looked at him and thought; "Wow what is going on now he looks barley 16". Then he remembered; "I said he looks
more like a foal and now he is becoming one!"
	
Asher we feeling incredibly dumb now. But he didn't care, he was happy. "Ben! Can we watch Pinocchio now!?" He practically yelled with excitement.
	
Ben watched as another few years slipped from Asher, his roommate voice cracking now, while he looked for a stream of Pinocchio. There was also fur starting to grow on Asher's dark hide.
	
"Ben I'm itchy!" Asher said as he started to scratch. "Have you found it yet?" He asked, his unfocused mind hopping all over the place.
	
"Here we go Asher, I found it! Do you want anything else?" Ben asked his roomie who now looked not older than 10 and was scratching feverishly at the soft fur that had started to grow all over his body.
	
"Can you watch it with me???" Asher asked hopefully as he suddenly pulled off his shirt.
	
"Sure buddy all you want!" Ben answered seeing the beginning of the dark stripe of fur growing on little Asher's shoulders, a mark all donkeys shared. His legs were now proper hind legs and hung off the
couch at an odd angle.
	
The movie started. "Ben do you mind if I have my shirt off?" Asher asked.
	
"No don't mind Asher, Do you want to have a snack? Maybe an apple?" Ben asked and smiled when he saw that Asher's face had started to push into a muzzle.
	
"No thanks Ben lets watch!" Asher said, shifting to let his tail get comfortable. But the movie was boring. "Ben?? Can we get to the good part?"
	
"The good part?" Ben asked. "You mean when he becomes a boy?"
	
"Ewww no. Who cares about stupid school and being a real boy!" Asher exclaimed.
	
"Oh now I know which scene" Ben retorted and skipped forward to the pool hall. "Is that better?"
	
"Yeah!" Asher said happily. This was what he wanted to see. But something was wrong. "What's is wrong with Lampwick's ears! They are so small!"
	
"Well he is still human, but be patient!" Ben explained and watched the little half human with interest as the scene of the movie progressed.
	
"Hear that beetle talk, you'd think something was going to happen to us!"
	
Asher's eyes widened as Lampwick's ears grew long and brown. "Oh! What happened Ben!?"
	
"Well he grew jackass ears because he made a jack out of himself, so he is punished!"
	
"Punished? His ears look awesome now! Like mine!" Asher said with a laugh.
	
"Yeah I guess they do!" Ben said, laughing as Asher's ears swiveled.
	
Asher watched excitedly as the donkey eared human walked around the table.
	
"Conscious. Naahhhh phoeey!"
	
"Yay!!!!" Asher cheered as he watched Lampwick's pants pulse, and with a loud *pah-toink* they released a brown tail."
	
"This is so awesome. But why is Pinocchio upset about it?" Asher asked curiously as his own tail waved behind him across the couch.
	
"Well boys are not supposed to have tails, that's why. He is afraid what is going on with his friend!"
	
"But Lampwick has a tail. I have a tail." Asher said pointedly.
	
"Well sure you do you are a little donkey after all and Lampwick will soon be as well!" Ben told the donkey boy who was watching the movie with great concentration.
	
"Where's he get that stuff. How do you ever expect to be a real boy?" Suddenly the movie stopped being a cartoon. "Whoa! Ben did you see that! It looks real now!"
	
Ben looked at the screen; "What the hell...that isn't supposed to happen." He pressed some keys on the laptop but nothing happened.
	
"It's okay Ben! The ears and the tail look proper now! Like mine!" Asher said.
	
"What's he think I look like...a Jackass!?"
	
Asher audibly cheered at the sight of the realistic looking donkey head. Suddenly, his own face started to tingle. "Ben I feel funny."
	
"Oh don't worry you look totally fine!" Ben replied grinning as Asher's face finally pushed into a muzzle. Gray fur flowed down it and his lips began to flap around revealing blocky teeth.
	
"I hope so!" Asher said, he voice still high, but with a much deeper quality to it. "I hope I look like a jackass too!"
	
"You sure do!" Ben mimicked Pinocchio's words.
	
The movie remained paused on the image of the donkey headed Lampwick. But Asher was confused. "Don't donkeys have fur everywhere?"
	
"Well yes they do can't you feel it grow?"
	
Asher looked at his fuzzy dark skin. The fuzz started to thicken. "Hee haw!" He let out a high pitched bray. "Oh it's growing! Tell me what it looks like Ben! I can't believe this is actually happening!"
	
"Well it is gray and a bit fluffy like the fur of young donkeys."
	
Asher felt it continue to grow. "Oh it feel nice." He said, rubbing his hands threw the messy fur. He could feel a patch of furless skin on his back though. "Ben tell me what it looks like as it comes out!
Give me a play by play!"
	
"Well at first there are just some tiny hairs and it looks like a dusting of, let's say of gray sugar then the hairs get thicker and longer, and start covering the skin until only the gray hair is visible!" Ben
explained as the naked spot vanished beneath the fur.
	
The movie was still paused. "Oh Ben! I feel like a donkey! It's hard to explain, but I just feel so simple!"
	
"You sure do! Ahahaha-Haww-HEE-haw!" Pinocchio suddenly brayed and Asher gave a cheer.
	
"Is Pinocchio a donkey too???" He asked Ben.
	
"No he just brayed."
	
"Hee haw!!! But I bray!" Asher said confused.
	
"Well you are a donkey and Pinocchio is not, at least he will never complete the Transformation."
	
A tear slid down Asher's furry cheek. "Whyhawwww not!"
	
"Well because he saw his Errors and escaped with Jiminy's help!"
	
"Errors? What is wrong with being a donkey?" Asher asked as more tears started to flow down his cheeks. Was there something wrong with him? He wanted to keep watching, but it seemed like this
movie had a sad end if Pinocchio didn't turn all the way.
	
"Well don't be sad, does it feel right to you being a donkey?" Ben asked the little jackass.
	
"Of course! But I can't understand why Lampwick and Pinocchio are so scared." He said, pausing the video as Lampwick screamed at his reflection.
	
"Because they are becoming something different and humans don't like that, yes they are even afraid of it". Was the only explanation Ben could think off for his soon to be former roomie.
	
"But these feeeeeehawww! So good! Asher said as he rubbed his ears."
	
"Hm they don't know yet how it feels!" Ben started to scratch Asher behind his long furry ears.
	
Comforted Asher continued watching pausing it on the image of Lampwick's hands. "Oh! Is he?????" He asked excitedly.
	
"Yes he is now becoming a full donkey!" Bin grinned as he saw Asher's fingernails getting darker.
	
"My hands feel so stiff! Oh! I know. Maybe a massage Ben!" Asher said holding up his hands, fingernails now a dull black.
	
Ben reached for the donkey boy's hands. While he massaged them, they hardened under his touch until he was holding two little black donkey hooves. The fur spread up to meet the hooves.
	
"That's better! Hawww heee!" Asher said happily. With a hiccup, suddenly he fell into a fit of braying. He was heaving tremendously.
	
"Hey calm done buddy everything is alright, just take deep breaths. That is it you are good little faol aren't you Asher?" Ben comforted the now almost totally transformed boy, by slowly stroking his
back. He looked up at been with the liquid brown eyes of an animal.
	
"Thawwwwwnks Beeeehawww! Can weeeehaw keehawwwp watching? Help me back onto the couch!"
	
Ben helped him back onto the couch, the donkey legs now looking odd on his human torso, even with the fur. He un-paused the movie.
	
"Mama?" Asher paused it right there. "My mamma is one of the Jennies on the farm right??"
	
"Yes that's true you are a smart little donkey Asher!"
	
"Maaaaammaaaaaaaa-Haw-heee-haww-heee-haww-hee-haw!" The little donkey in clothes kicked around the room, smashing everything until he finally was rid of his clothes.
	
Asher finished braying along with Lampwick. Leaning back, he looked at his long front legs, and the pants over his hind legs. He looked at the paused image of the little brown donkey on the screen. He
looked to Ben and brayed. He forgot how to speak.
	
Ben removed the now much too big pants and with that the last articles of clothing Asher had worn. The moment they were off, Asher fell forward with a clop. He now looked like a proper little donkey.
Ben stared at him and asked; "Asher bro are you in there?"
	
Asher looked up at the nice human. "Haww-hee?" He brayed cutely. But then he realized that he was away from his mamma. He started braying pitifully.
	
Ben was taken aback by the pitiful screaming; "He Buddy keep calm I'll get you to a farm!" Ben tried to carry the little foal but he was quite crafty in trying to get away from the human. At least there
weren't any other students around or Ben would have had a serious problem why he was dragging around such a young donkey. Finally he managed to put Asher onto the backseats and he drove to the
donkey Ranch. The foal brayed all the way there.
	
Asher was scared. He wanted his mamma, not the strange human in this enclosed thing. Finally the car stopped. Asher didn't wait, he bucked out the window and hopped out, running as fast as he could
into the pasture. There were donkeys everywhere! Where was his mamma!? He began to bray again.
	
Ben tried to run after Asher but the little donkey was far too fast. He followed as well as possible and just climbed a hill in the right moment to see Asher reach a group of donkeys.
	
Asher looked around the strange donkeys....suddenly he heard a bray. "Hee haw?" He brayed. The bray was returned. Suddenly a jenny was next to him, nuzzling him. He began braying happily as he lay
down to sleep under his mamma.
	
Ben drove by the pasture from time to time to see how Asher was doing. One day he parked and watched him walking with his new mother a bit aside from the rest of the herd.
	
"Good morning" Ben heard someone say, turned around recognized the stranger as one of the farmers.
	
"Good morning sir sorry was just watching!"
	
"Ah yes our only foal this year, we even though we thought there wasn't on but then Betty turned up with the little colt over there".
	
"I see" Ben said as the farmer called for his donkeys and they came running down the hill".
	
"He is a bit lonely. The foals from last year are already too big to play with him". The farmer continued.
	
"Ah I think he will do just fine won't you Buddy!" Ben said scratching Asher behind his long ears.
	
"Well sir got to go see you around." Ben walked away.
	
The farmer looked down as Asher brayed at him. "Don't worry little buddy." He pulled out the softly glowing donkey statue with a chuckle. "He'll be back."

Magical Misfire
By born2beagator and Boitin
Asher was tired of his roommate, Ben. He'd do anything to have the room to himself. They lived in a small apartment on the edge of town, near some farmlands. It was Saturday and he was rummaging
through a garage sale on one of these farms. Strangely, the farm seemed to be purely a donkey farm, and Asher could hear braying quite often.
Suddenly he found something interesting. A donkey statue. A tag on it read: "Is your roommate an ass? Would you like to get rid of him? Well today is your lucky day. Simple say the words Equus
africanus asinus to him and your wish will come true. A word of warning, only works on the weak willed.
"How much for this?" Asher called to the farmer.
"Oh it's free for you! I know a customer in need when I see one." The farmer replied.
Asher took the statue with a smirk and headed home.
A silent Saturday with the whole room for himself, Ben couldn't be happier. After their usual banter Asher had left, and so Ben could finally get some work done for his classes. He grabbed a can of
coke and sat down in front of his Laptop.
Statue in hand, Asher entered their apartment. "Ben I'm home!"
With a short sigh Ben acknowledged the return of his annoying roommate but didn't even bother to stop his work and say hello.
Asher smirked. Here goes nothing. "Ben? Can we talk? I want to show you the awesome statue I bought."
Be just rolled his eyes; "Why can't he keep quiet for at least some time!" He thought, but knowing Asher wouldn't stop asking him he stopped typing and turned to his roommate; "What is it what kind of
rubbish did you buy?"
"Take a look at this!" Asher held up the statue.
Ben took a scrutinizing look at the small statue. It was made out of black Stone and had the shape of an equine creature. "Well what about it, nice dust collector!" Ben mocked.
"Well very simple. It's an Equus africanus asinus. In other words, a donkey." Asher felt the statue vibrate. Was it actually working???
Ben was surprised by the sudden knowledge of his roommate. But as soon as Asher had spoken the words pictures of donkeys roaming wide green pastures filled his head, and his ears started to itch.
"How do you feel bud?" Asher asked, anxious to see what it would do.
"What...I..." Ben couldn't grasp a clear thought. On one hand he tried focusing on his roommate and the work he still had to do..on the other there were those pictures of donkeys grazing, braying and
running around. Worst of all the itching seemed to get worse and then there now was the feeling as if his ears were stretching.
Asher watched in amazement as Ben's ears began to stretch away from his head, the skin turning dark brown and hair beginning to poke out. He realized what they looked like and almost burst out
laughing. "Well, it looks like you are an Equus africanus asinus." Asher joked. His roommate always was an ass, now he'd look like one too.
Ben looked at Asher in anger but he couldn't throw back anything as the donkeys seemed to start fill his mind, although he never liked them. They were always keeping him awake braying loudly at the
farms during the nights. Besides the strange feelings he got from his ears the bottom of his shorts started to strain against the small of his back. "What...whats happening!" Ben finally managed to
mumble.
"I do believe you are going to be living on that farm from now on, donkey." Asher said gleefully.
"Donkey?!" Ben stuttered. At first he thought his roommate was deranged but then he slowly started to move his hands up to his head and started probing his ears. At first the shock let the blood freeze
in his vessels ad he felt his now furry and long ears for the first time, but then his view fell on the small black statue in the hands of the gleefully grinning Asher. "You! What have you done you despicable
little pest!"
"You should be braying you dumb animal!" Asher said. "Hurry up and get out to the pasture so I can have my room."
"Your room! Looks like you would stop at nothing". Ben shouted. Although the pressure in his pants grew stronger, his fear of changing was replaced by fury now.
"Didn't you hear me? You are an animal Ben! Bray for me and go to the pasture where you belong." Asher repeated.
"Ha you would like that wouldn't you! Oh no if I go down you will as well. Actually think you would make the better ass out of the two of us. You are lazy, sleep all day and if you don't you eat and trash the
place with your garbage!" Ben retorted.
"Didn't you hear me you dumb jackass! Bray for me!" Asher said, a little worried. Had something gone wrong?
"Oh I think you could do that much better than me! Come on Asher let it out. Let out what you really are!" Ben answered his fear now totally gone and the donkeys slowly vanishing out of his mind.
"Ben you are an animal! Bray!!!" Asher said desperately as Ben's ears slowly started to recede. An image of a donkey suddenly entered his mind.
"Yeah sure I don't think so. Come on Asher why don't you let me hear what you really are?" Ben paused and grinned before he said;" You are nothing more than a jackass and what does a donkey say?"
Asher's mind was clouding. Images of donkeys grazing peacefully entered his head as Ben's ears returned to normal. "Wait...what happened?" Asher asked, looking around.
Ben felt his ears returning to normal human proportions. He wasn't a malicious person but what Asher had tried, and the strange way he wanted to achieve his goals made him furious and his only thoughts
were circling around revenge; "Well Asher I am waiting how does a donkey sound?"
Asher was confused. How did a donkey sound? Suddenly one of the creatures appeared in his head. "Oh. Hee haw." He mock brayed.
"Oh I know you can do better than that! Come on Asher you can do it you jackass!" Ben taunted his roommate who suddenly seemed quite confused.
"I'm...a jackass?" Asher asked. A donkey brayed in his mind and he shook his head.
"Yep you are but donkeys don't talk how do they sound Asher?" Ben continued and watched as Asher started to get a dazed look.
The braying returned in his mind stronger than before. He found himself mouthing along with it silently.
"No come on let it out I know you want to!" Ben started again.
Asher kept mouthing with the braying in his head. Suddenly something bubbled in his chest and the mouthing became labored. "He huh, he huh, hee hu, hee hau, hee aww....AAAWWWWWWWWW-
HEEEE-HAAAAWWWW!"
"Now that is more like it! Ben called out and clapped his hands; "Now how did that feel?"
"Really good...I don't know why..." Asher said with confusion.
"Good just let it happen when it wants to get out!" Ben said;" Well what now..ah yes I think that should be next! Hm can you feel it? Can you feel it wriggle ever so slowly on the small of your back?" Ben
watched as he saw a small bump forming at the back of Asher's shorts.
"Oh Ben...it feels so goodawwwwwww...." Asher moaned.
"It sure does, doesn't it? Can you feel it grow? Any idea what it could be?" Ben asked smirking when thinking about what would soon burst through the shorts of his roomie.
Images of long, ropey donkey tails flowed through Asher's mind. He shook his head as the feeling intensified. "It feels...like a tail. But I'm not an animal...."
Ben continued, while looking at the young man who wouldn't be one for much longer; "Oh not yet, but don't you want to feel it, don't you want to know how it feels to have one. Wouldn't you like to know
how it is having one swinging between your legs?"
The image of a tail once again popped into Asher's head. It still didn't seem quite right. "But...I'm human. We don't have tails."
"True Asher but then again you often behave like a jackass, and don't do jackasses have tails?" Ben suggested in a sweet voice.
"They do...but look at me...I'm a human." Asher said as he felt a tingle run down his spine.
"But why are you growing a tail then Asher!" Ben asked and knew that his roommate and pain in the ass was close to breaking.
Asher was stumped there. He felt the tail push into his pants. "I don't know..."
"Oh don't you see the big bulge in the back of your shorts? Oh my Asher I would say you are growing a donkey tail, wouldn't you as well? Don't you want to let it out, see how it looks? Don't you want to
give it a nice firm tug and feel the tassel?"
"Hawwwwww....that does sound niceeeehaw." Asher said as he felt the tail straining against his shorts.
"Well just bend over a little bit then, let it push through your shorts, Asher! You are a donkey and donkeys have tails so let's see yours!" Ben suggested. Asher was slowly being consumed by the thoughts
of being a jackass.
Asher bend over and felt the tail pushing hard against his shorts, he felt his boxers rip. "Ohhawwwwheeehawww! I have tail!" He said as he felt it rubbing against the denim.
"Very well Asher and what does that make you?" Ben asked with a smirk.
"I am a jaheeeeeehawwackass!" He said as the tail now pressed obscenely into his shorts.
"Good Asher! Just a little bit more. We want to see your tail right? Maybe if you sound a little bit more like a jackass it will come out!"
Asher nodded. "I want my tail! Haw HEEEE haw!!!!"
"No Asher come on don't you want to rip your shorts with your tail, come on show me what a jackass you are ! Ben taunted his roommate reveling in the might he had over Asher.
Asher was in ecstasy as the tail jabbed into his shorts one last time. "OH! I think it's coming!"
"Good a little bit more! Give in Asher I know you want it. I know you want that strong ropy tail, with the tassel on its end."
"I do! I'm a donkey!!!!!!" Asher said as he bent over further.
Ben watched as Asher's shorts ripped and his tail hung free between his roommate's legs, swishing lazily from time to time. "Now doesn't that feel better?"
Asher looked back at the gray furred tail. He picked it up and marveled at how smooth the black hair of his tassel was. "I feel dumb Ben." Asher said stupidly.
"That all right Asher, give in. Donkeys don't need to be smart, they only need food, sleep and fresh air!" Ben told him. "Don't you like to have no worries in your life?"
But Asher's mind was elsewhere. "There was a nice looking jenny on that farm today..." He said wistfully, tail swaying behind him.
"Oh well we won't keep two jackasses apart for long shall we?" Amused by how far his roommate had already degraded Ben thought about what to change next. He examined Asher from head to toe,
grinning as the tail swayed again. "But don't you need a nice and shiny coat of fur to impress your jennet Asher?"
"Of courseeeeehawwww!" Asher replied. The images of donkeys was clear in his head now. He belonged with them. Every now and then a small voice would scream at him, as if something was wrong, but
then one of the donkeys would bray and drown it out.
"Can you feel the itch Asher? That's your fur and look at your growing mane. Oh you are a great jack, Asher! You will fit in with the other donkeys on the farm quite well!"
Asher began to scratch. His skin was darkened to a proper hide color but no fur. You are turning into a jackass! Snap out of it!!!! A voice suddenly broke through the fog. He looked back at the tail.
"WHAT THE----!"
Ben immediately recognized that Ashers' mind was clearing up, he couldn't allow that to happen or he would probably end up as the jack hunting after the Jenny. "Oh Asher just a bit more don't you want
to have a nice coat of fur to keep you warm. I am sure it will keep you warm and will be far better than any human clothes!"
The sun was setting outside, and Asher's mind continued to clear. He felt strange...but happy. Acting as if he didn't hear his roommate, he asked: "So what do you want to do tonight?"
"No" Ben replied surprised by the sudden change of his roommates behavior. "No just doing some work for tomorrow and heading of to bed". He answered looking at Asher who seemed totally oblivious
of his darkened skin and long ropey tail.
But Asher pressed. "There has to be something we can do together for fun." Asher liked fun.
"I don't think I want to do something together with you!" Ben replied and snatched the statue from Asher's hand.
"But roomieeeeehawww!? We never do anything together." Asher pleaded.
"Yeah and there are reason for that!" Ben replied locking the statue away in one of his drawers.
"I know, I've been a jackass!" Asher said. "But what do you expect??"
With the statue save from Asher, Ben thought about it and he remembered some old cartoon he once watched. "You know what Asher you are right we should do something how about buying you some
beer at the Pub?"
"That sounds good!" Asher said excitedly.
"Well ok just let go, it's still nice and warm outside, nothing better than a cold beer for the jack? Right Asher? Ben said grabbing his keys.
"Right!" Asher said as he headed to the car. Sitting down was hard, but he managed by sitting sideways to allow his tail to lay across the seat. His tail.... "Roomie? Why do I have a tail?" He asked
curiously as Ben sat down in the driver's seat.
"Well you are a jackass and those have tails, you always told me you liked your tail". Ben answered as if it was the most natural thing, when he started the ignition of his old car.
Asher played with his tail as they headed to the Pub. It was so strange. He rubbed up and down the gray fur, played with the smooth tassel, and even pulled on it a little. Surprisingly, he felt like he was
pulling on his spine. "I do likeeeeehawww my tail. I don't know how I lived without it!"
"Yeah I know you always brag about having one!" Ben answered, while taking a small detour, driving past one of the big pastures of the donkey farm. He wanted to know how Asher would react when
seeing and hearing one. At first the whole meadow seemed empty but then a bray was heard and a big jack marched directly into their direction so Ben slowed down and waited what would happen.
"Hey! A donkey!" Asher stuck his head out as it brayed at him. The sound made his ears twitch. "Hawwww-hee! To you too!" He replied pulling his head back in. In the rearview mirror he saw that his
skin was now a dark black. "Ben??? I was white earlier wasn't I?"
"Are you joking you always had dark skin, I don't think you even need a beer!" Ben replied, still he chuckled inwardly as his former Caucasian roommate now had almost night-black skin. He accelerated
again and they left the big jack behind.
"I forgot something Ben, where do we work?"
"We don't have any jobs currently we are still at college, but you used to help out at one of the donkey farms like a good jackass such as yourself should!" Ben explained while the now reached the little
city near their Campus
"You know Ben, I used to think jackass was an insult. But for some reason, I like that word now!" Asher said as he felt a tugging in his ears.
"I am glad you do, I think this word will stick too you from now on!" Ben said while parking the old shabby car, noticing how his roommate's ears slowly got pointy. "It is still working and he even has no
clue what is happening to him". He thought. "Well let's get you some beer bro!"
Asher walked behind his roommate, thoughts of donkeys filling his mind. "Jackass.....I'm a jackass." He said quietly as he felt the tugging return.
The two walked through the streets, which were filled by other students as it was one of those first nice warm evenings, a few ogled Asher and his swaying tail, but soon shrugged it off and didn't
bother the two. The headed forward one of the less populated bars and entered. "Well Asher what beer can I buy you!" Ben asked when they sat down, not leaving his changing roomy out of his sight for
once.
"You know, I don't think I want beer. Do they have any sugar cubes?" Asher asked. He wanted something sweet.
"Sugar cubes? Well let's ask the waitress" Ben said and waved the young women over at their table. "Can we I have a tonic water and a few sugar cubes for my friend?"
The waitress looked at him; "Sugar cubes?"
"Yes some sugar cubes nothing else!" Ben repeated. The woman rolled her eyes mumbling something about obnoxious college brats but a few minutes later she returned with the drink and a small plate
filled with sugar cubes, which Ben placed in front of Asher.
Asher didn't bother with a fork. He simply put his mouth to the plate and let his lips grab the sugar cube. He brought his head up and smiled at Ben. "These are good. You know what would make them
better? Can you pull on my ears? They itch."
Ben looked at Asher with glee, seeing his roomies lips getting rubbery. "Well sure what friend would I be if I wouldn't help out my bro" Ben reached for Asher's still small but pointy ears and started to
scratch them, feeling as soft, velvety fur started to grow on them before he gave them a nice tug.
Asher bent down and sucked up another sugar cube. "Keep going Ben, that feels really good."
Ben moved his fingers along the tips of Asher's ears which slowly started to elongate. It was odd how the flesh changed and grew longer. Under his probing fingers Ben felt how they started to twitch
like real donkey ears as new muscles and tendons grew, and soon they were almost a foot long. Soft grey fur started to grow on them and made Asher look more like what he soon would end up as: a young
donkey jack.
"Oh that feels better." Asher said. Then he felt it bubbling up in his throat. "Ben! What happens if I make that noise in here?" Asher said in a strangled voice as he looked around nervously at the
other people. He didn't know if he could hold it in.
"Oh do what feels good Asher, I am your friend! I will help you whatever happens!" Ben reassured his roomie, while looking around. There were not many people around and aside from the waitress who
had actually talked with them all the other patrons would actually think that's just some drunk college kid pulling a prank.
"Do what feels good. I like that." Asher said as he stopped holding it down. He started heaving. "Heee-HAW-heee-HAW-heee-HAW!"
Ben looked in awe as Asher let out the series of brays, they sounded exactly like those of the donkeys from the farm. As predicted none of the other quests really cared about the young man with the
long ears making donkey sounds. Ben looked at Asher who had a happy smile on his face slurping down another sugar cube. He almost started to feel bad about what he was doing to his roommate then
again it was exactly what Asher had planned for him so this feeling of remorse vanished again. "Well bro do you feel better now? What do you want to do next?"
Asher's mind was consumed by donkeys. They were all he thought about. All he wanted to talk about. "Hey Ben, what do you think of donkeys?"
"Well they are barnyard animals! What to think about them, many say they are stupid but well actually they are quite smart, did you know they once were used by Karawans to help them to get back in case
they got lost?"
Asher listen raptly, tail swaying languidly behind him. He did enjoy the feeling of the frayed jeans rubbing against its base. "Tell me more!"
"What more is there ah they are related to Zebras as well". Ben continued looking at Asher whose ears were standing straight over his head showing his attention.
Asher couldn't get enough. "Just a little more!"
"Well in the wild the live in small herds that can join together into bigger groups of more than 60 animals, when they are grazing."
A strange thought entered Asher's head. "What's it like to be one?" He asked as he braced his chin on his hands, soft lips flapping occasionally.
Ben looked at Asher; he was changing faster now. His lips now rubbery like those of a donkey and it seemed as if his face was slowly starting to push into a muzzle, still you had to look close to
recognize it. Ben tried to imagine the life of a donkey; "Well I have read that they can be diurnal as well as nocturnal, young donkeys might run around play with each other the older ones would graze,
and lie in the shadow when it is hot."
"That sounds....fun..." Asher said. "Hawww-hee!"
Ben looked at Asher his eyes were hazy and his ears twitching from time to time. "Well would you like to go to the pasture to see for yourself?"
"Actually...Do you have Pinocchio? I wanna watch that. Its been a while."
"Pinocchio? Sure I guess I can find it somewhere on the net!" Ben said. He paid the bill and led Asher out of the pub. While they walked toward the car Asher seemed to limp from time to time. Ben
looked down at his roomies feet. It seemed they had grown a bit as his toes stretched over the rubber soles of his flip-flops, and for a moment Ben thought the nails where changing their color. But no
maybe the light of the setting sun was playing tricks on him, then again Asher now had the ears and tail of a jackass. They reached the car and ben drove them back to the Campus.
Asher got out of the car and pitched forward. "Oawwwwwww!"
Ben watched as Asher toppled over to catch himself with his hands. Now on all fours he remained still for a moment but when he tried to stand up again his legs wouldn't do as he wanted them to. Ben
looked at them again and saw the reason for it. What he first thought to be a figment of his Imagination was actually happening. Bens legs where changing, His feet had grown twice their size.
His flip flops strained against them as his middle toe started to elongate, the nail thickening while the others seemed to shrink down. Asher's shins got longer and thinner while his thighs shortened and
got flatter. His legs now looked like an odd mixture of human and donkey. He tried to stand up again but it didn't work. He was getting frustrated.
"I can't get up Ben, can you help?" Asher asked with a frustrated bray.
Ben looked at Asher, moving around on hands and changing feet. "What would I help you with Asher? You are a jackass, though you are a little bit small maybe you are just a foal. Guess I have to help you
then. Come on bud lean on to me I will drag you up to the room". Ben said helping Asher up again and moving to their room.
"I am having a hard time standing...." Asher said as Ben helped his roommate into the living room. His hind legs were wobbly on his hooves.
"Well why don't you try standing on your legs and hands!" Ben suggested, to Asher who suddenly felt lighter than before
"For now just help me to the couch please." Asher said.
Ben helped his roomie to the couch who suddenly seemed to have shrunk two inches. Ben looked at him and thought; "Wow what is going on now he looks barley 16". Then he remembered; "I said he looks
more like a foal and now he is becoming one!"
Asher we feeling incredibly dumb now. But he didn't care, he was happy. "Ben! Can we watch Pinocchio now!?" He practically yelled with excitement.
Ben watched as another few years slipped from Asher, his roommate voice cracking now, while he looked for a stream of Pinocchio. There was also fur starting to grow on Asher's dark hide.
"Ben I'm itchy!" Asher said as he started to scratch. "Have you found it yet?" He asked, his unfocused mind hopping all over the place.
"Here we go Asher, I found it! Do you want anything else?" Ben asked his roomie who now looked not older than 10 and was scratching feverishly at the soft fur that had started to grow all over his body.
"Can you watch it with me???" Asher asked hopefully as he suddenly pulled off his shirt.
"Sure buddy all you want!" Ben answered seeing the beginning of the dark stripe of fur growing on little Asher's shoulders, a mark all donkeys shared. His legs were now proper hind legs and hung off the
couch at an odd angle.
The movie started. "Ben do you mind if I have my shirt off?" Asher asked.
"No don't mind Asher, Do you want to have a snack? Maybe an apple?" Ben asked and smiled when he saw that Asher's face had started to push into a muzzle.
"No thanks Ben lets watch!" Asher said, shifting to let his tail get comfortable. But the movie was boring. "Ben?? Can we get to the good part?"
"The good part?" Ben asked. "You mean when he becomes a boy?"
"Ewww no. Who cares about stupid school and being a real boy!" Asher exclaimed.
"Oh now I know which scene" Ben retorted and skipped forward to the pool hall. "Is that better?"
"Yeah!" Asher said happily. This was what he wanted to see. But something was wrong. "What's is wrong with Lampwick's ears! They are so small!"
"Well he is still human, but be patient!" Ben explained and watched the little half human with interest as the scene of the movie progressed.
"Hear that beetle talk, you'd think something was going to happen to us!"
Asher's eyes widened as Lampwick's ears grew long and brown. "Oh! What happened Ben!?"
"Well he grew jackass ears because he made a jack out of himself, so he is punished!"
"Punished? His ears look awesome now! Like mine!" Asher said with a laugh.
"Yeah I guess they do!" Ben said, laughing as Asher's ears swiveled.
Asher watched excitedly as the donkey eared human walked around the table.
"Conscious. Naahhhh phoeey!"
"Yay!!!!" Asher cheered as he watched Lampwick's pants pulse, and with a loud *pah-toink* they released a brown tail."
"This is so awesome. But why is Pinocchio upset about it?" Asher asked curiously as his own tail waved behind him across the couch.
"Well boys are not supposed to have tails, that's why. He is afraid what is going on with his friend!"
"But Lampwick has a tail. I have a tail." Asher said pointedly.
"Well sure you do you are a little donkey after all and Lampwick will soon be as well!" Ben told the donkey boy who was watching the movie with great concentration.
"Where's he get that stuff. How do you ever expect to be a real boy?" Suddenly the movie stopped being a cartoon. "Whoa! Ben did you see that! It looks real now!"
Ben looked at the screen; "What the hell...that isn't supposed to happen." He pressed some keys on the laptop but nothing happened.
"It's okay Ben! The ears and the tail look proper now! Like mine!" Asher said.
"What's he think I look like...a Jackass!?"
Asher audibly cheered at the sight of the realistic looking donkey head. Suddenly, his own face started to tingle. "Ben I feel funny."
"Oh don't worry you look totally fine!" Ben replied grinning as Asher's face finally pushed into a muzzle. Gray fur flowed down it and his lips began to flap around revealing blocky teeth.
"I hope so!" Asher said, he voice still high, but with a much deeper quality to it. "I hope I look like a jackass too!"
"You sure do!" Ben mimicked Pinocchio's words.
The movie remained paused on the image of the donkey headed Lampwick. But Asher was confused. "Don't donkeys have fur everywhere?"
"Well yes they do can't you feel it grow?"
Asher looked at his fuzzy dark skin. The fuzz started to thicken. "Hee haw!" He let out a high pitched bray. "Oh it's growing! Tell me what it looks like Ben! I can't believe this is actually happening!"
"Well it is gray and a bit fluffy like the fur of young donkeys."
Asher felt it continue to grow. "Oh it feel nice." He said, rubbing his hands threw the messy fur. He could feel a patch of furless skin on his back though. "Ben tell me what it looks like as it comes out!
Give me a play by play!"
"Well at first there are just some tiny hairs and it looks like a dusting of, let's say of gray sugar then the hairs get thicker and longer, and start covering the skin until only the gray hair is visible!" Ben
explained as the naked spot vanished beneath the fur.
The movie was still paused. "Oh Ben! I feel like a donkey! It's hard to explain, but I just feel so simple!"
"You sure do! Ahahaha-Haww-HEE-haw!" Pinocchio suddenly brayed and Asher gave a cheer.
"Is Pinocchio a donkey too???" He asked Ben.
"No he just brayed."
"Hee haw!!! But I bray!" Asher said confused.
"Well you are a donkey and Pinocchio is not, at least he will never complete the Transformation."
A tear slid down Asher's furry cheek. "Whyhawwww not!"
"Well because he saw his Errors and escaped with Jiminy's help!"
"Errors? What is wrong with being a donkey?" Asher asked as more tears started to flow down his cheeks. Was there something wrong with him? He wanted to keep watching, but it seemed like this
movie had a sad end if Pinocchio didn't turn all the way.
"Well don't be sad, does it feel right to you being a donkey?" Ben asked the little jackass.
"Of course! But I can't understand why Lampwick and Pinocchio are so scared." He said, pausing the video as Lampwick screamed at his reflection.
"Because they are becoming something different and humans don't like that, yes they are even afraid of it". Was the only explanation Ben could think off for his soon to be former roomie.
"But these feeeeeehawww! So good! Asher said as he rubbed his ears."
"Hm they don't know yet how it feels!" Ben started to scratch Asher behind his long furry ears.
Comforted Asher continued watching pausing it on the image of Lampwick's hands. "Oh! Is he?????" He asked excitedly.
"Yes he is now becoming a full donkey!" Bin grinned as he saw Asher's fingernails getting darker.
"My hands feel so stiff! Oh! I know. Maybe a massage Ben!" Asher said holding up his hands, fingernails now a dull black.
Ben reached for the donkey boy's hands. While he massaged them, they hardened under his touch until he was holding two little black donkey hooves. The fur spread up to meet the hooves.
"That's better! Hawww heee!" Asher said happily. With a hiccup, suddenly he fell into a fit of braying. He was heaving tremendously.
"Hey calm done buddy everything is alright, just take deep breaths. That is it you are good little faol aren't you Asher?" Ben comforted the now almost totally transformed boy, by slowly stroking his
back. He looked up at been with the liquid brown eyes of an animal.
"Thawwwwwnks Beeeehawww! Can weeeehaw keehawwwp watching? Help me back onto the couch!"
Ben helped him back onto the couch, the donkey legs now looking odd on his human torso, even with the fur. He un-paused the movie.
"Mama?" Asher paused it right there. "My mamma is one of the Jennies on the farm right??"
"Yes that's true you are a smart little donkey Asher!"
"Maaaaammaaaaaaaa-Haw-heee-haww-heee-haww-hee-haw!" The little donkey in clothes kicked around the room, smashing everything until he finally was rid of his clothes.
Asher finished braying along with Lampwick. Leaning back, he looked at his long front legs, and the pants over his hind legs. He looked at the paused image of the little brown donkey on the screen. He
looked to Ben and brayed. He forgot how to speak.
Ben removed the now much too big pants and with that the last articles of clothing Asher had worn. The moment they were off, Asher fell forward with a clop. He now looked like a proper little donkey.
Ben stared at him and asked; "Asher bro are you in there?"
Asher looked up at the nice human. "Haww-hee?" He brayed cutely. But then he realized that he was away from his mamma. He started braying pitifully.
Ben was taken aback by the pitiful screaming; "He Buddy keep calm I'll get you to a farm!" Ben tried to carry the little foal but he was quite crafty in trying to get away from the human. At least there
weren't any other students around or Ben would have had a serious problem why he was dragging around such a young donkey. Finally he managed to put Asher onto the backseats and he drove to the
donkey Ranch. The foal brayed all the way there.
Asher was scared. He wanted his mamma, not the strange human in this enclosed thing. Finally the car stopped. Asher didn't wait, he bucked out the window and hopped out, running as fast as he could
into the pasture. There were donkeys everywhere! Where was his mamma!? He began to bray again.
Ben tried to run after Asher but the little donkey was far too fast. He followed as well as possible and just climbed a hill in the right moment to see Asher reach a group of donkeys.
Asher looked around the strange donkeys....suddenly he heard a bray. "Hee haw?" He brayed. The bray was returned. Suddenly a jenny was next to him, nuzzling him. He began braying happily as he lay
down to sleep under his mamma.
Ben drove by the pasture from time to time to see how Asher was doing. One day he parked and watched him walking with his new mother a bit aside from the rest of the herd.
"Good morning" Ben heard someone say, turned around recognized the stranger as one of the farmers.
"Good morning sir sorry was just watching!"
"Ah yes our only foal this year, we even though we thought there wasn't on but then Betty turned up with the little colt over there".
"I see" Ben said as the farmer called for his donkeys and they came running down the hill".
"He is a bit lonely. The foals from last year are already too big to play with him". The farmer continued.
"Ah I think he will do just fine won't you Buddy!" Ben said scratching Asher behind his long ears.
"Well sir got to go see you around." Ben walked away.
The farmer looked down as Asher brayed at him. "Don't worry little buddy." He pulled out the softly glowing donkey statue with a chuckle. "He'll be back."
