This is an interesting case as it's a request from and a collaboration with  gomanfury ! They wanted a story where Nick Wilde of Zootopia becomes Gloria of Madagascar, I needed some help with the writing and we both cranked this out. They've got a lot of great ideas and are very helpful if you need help, I highly recommend taking up their requests.

Officer Wilde had done a great job on the force ever since joining it just over a year ago. He made countless arrests and was a model officer that anyone could look up to. So when he was given an extra week of paid vacation from the department he felt a sense of pride. ‘After all,’ he thought with a grin, ‘I’ve earned it.’

He was excited to finally have some down time, and decided to use his time off to take a trip. He chose to go to the exotic country of Madagascar. One day after work he sauntered over to Judy and flashed two plane tickets at her, hoping that she’d try to convince Bogo to let her take off so she could go with him. Alas, duty called and Judy had to politely turn down the offer. At first Nick was bummed, his ears flattening and his smile forced and phony, but he slowly came to terms with it. By the time he was boarding the plane a week later, he had regained his sense of excitement. After all, he would get to spend a whole week by himself. Sure he would have loved to spend some quality relaxation time with Judy, but having the space to let loose and indulge himself to the fullest extent was quite appealing too. He could kick back and relax without any ties to his work life.

After arriving in the tropical country, he spent most of his first day trying to find a good place to relax - going so far as to venture away from the resort and into a strange oasis that the guides seemed to be a bit leery about. Of course their apprehension only made Nick more eager to check it out. Whistling and strutting his stuff he wandered into the forested area. He couldn’t help but stand still for a moment and soak it all in. The scents, the sights, the sounds -- it was all too much.

“I can’t believe they’d tell us to avoid a place like this,” Nick chuckled to himself before he pressed onward. “It’s so peaceful. Now I know how carrots felt when she first arrived in the city,” he snickered in a way that was both a tad snarky but also sincere. “Hehe, so naive.”

Finally, he exited the oasis and stumbled upon what appeared to be a deserted beach that had a great view of the ocean. Nick stood still a moment to appreciate the view, breathing in the salty seaside scent. Looking around, he didn't see anyone else at the beach, so he decided to strip down to his bare essentials and rub the so-called "Glorious" sunscreen all over himself, making sure he got it through his fur. Nick then laid back against the sand and relaxed, unaware that very soon things would become drastically different for him.

Nick's slender body grew many inches, if not feet, taller. At the same time, his body began to bloat and swell, packing on several hundreds of pounds as he started to gain a big, round belly with an even bigger butt. As his now-enormous butt rounded out, a loud *PRFFFT* escaped from it. “Ahh, can’t do that when Flatfoot’s around,” Nick said with a relaxed grin, not noticing that his voice had become slightly more feminine. His nose grew much larger, taking up the majority of his now much bigger, blockier muzzle. His ears shrunk to look more like hippo ears. The majority of his teeth disappeared, while three teeth grew larger and flatter - more suited to ‘prey’ than ‘predator.’

The fox’s paws lost a finger each, while the fingers themselves became stubby and, of course, fatter. His once sharp nails became square and dull, as his fluffy tail shrank until it was barely there. His fur vanished, revealing that his skin had already hardened and recolored into the traditional gray hippo skin. His eyes darkened from green to brown, gaining pronounced eyelashes. Finally, his genitals inverted and puffed out, finishing the physical change of himself - or rather herself - into Gloria.

The changes weren't done yet, though.

Nick may have been Gloria physically, but the smug male fox was still present mentally, though this would not last much longer.

As he lay, still oblivious to the changes, Nick lost some of his cunning fox-like traits. His personality became increasingly sassy and feminine. His mind also became more imaginative, and filled with romantic thoughts. These thoughts started with Judy, but as he relaxed more the mental image of the rabbit faded, and in its place a new character emerged that he'd never seen before.

As he thought of it more, he saw it was a giraffe. A clumsy, graceless, thin giraffe - basically the polar opposite of who he had become. As he kept thinking of this giraffe, he remembered that the giraffe's name was Melman. His cheeks turned red as he started to think more about this clumsy giraffe. “Mmmm...such a cutie,” Nick whispered quietly in a new, sassy woman’s voice.

In fact, the more he thought about him the more he was falling in love with him. ‘Well of course,’ the hippo thought to himself, ‘he is my boyfriend after all. It would be weird if I didn’t love him.’

As Nick kept thinking about Melman, more and more of his thoughts and memories from when he was a male fox transformed into the memories and thoughts of the female hippo he had become. He even stopped thinking about himself as a ‘him’ and began to think of himself as a ‘her,’ to match up with her sex, which had become moist at the thought of Melman.

There would remain a few memories of the fox, but they were locked away in the hippo's brain, only to be let out in rare occasions.

Gloria woke up from her dream. As she got up, she looked around and saw that she was back in Madagascar. She was very confused since she and her friends had recently joined a traveling circus.

So what was she doing back here?

Gloria would have to find a way to let everyone know that she had ended up back on the island from their first adventures, which would be very difficult since she couldn't find any easy way to communicate with them. That is, until she found a random cell phone laying on the ground. Picking it up she saw on the bottom: “Property of Nicholas P. Wilde.”

Something about the name struck her as familiar, but she shook it off. She had to use it to get in touch with her friends! Somehow…

Unfortunately, was her first time using a cellphone, and she had no idea what she was doing. As a result, when she pressed down to dial she accidentally crushed it. She sat down, defeated. Then she began to think about Melman again and regained her happiness “Oh well, I’m sure I’ll get back to them soon enough.” Gloria said to herself as she rolled onto her belly and lay her head back down with a sigh, trying to enjoy the sunny beach the best she could. She couldn’t help but smile a bit. “Well… this is the life, I guess.”

Maybe this unexpected vacation wouldn't be too bad after all.
