While traveling around, Tyler found out that he was pretty low on funds when buying some supplies so he decides to go and look for a part-time job, so he can get some quick money, to make enough money to continue his journey. After checking a couple of places, nothing was good for what he was looking for but while walking down a street, he had seen a poster of for a photo shoot that will give a prize money for the model that will won. He was hesitating to participate, because peoples would seen him but he remembered the money problem, so he decides to go there next day.
After arriving, there were a lot of different people, some that were much bigger and stronger than he was and some that looked better, with more beautiful fur or scale patterns but he didn't give up. When his turn had come, he was called in a room where a big green screen was on a side of the room, with multiple cameras and lights faced to it. On the other side, a lynx was there, giving orders to the other people near, most likely being the photographer. After entering, he was moved in the changing room, to change into a pair of underwear. After doing so, he was moved near the green screen, where he was made to do a couple of poses but because of his timidity, they weren't very good so the photographer made An unhappy face and without making any photos he thanked Tyler for the time and asked to call the next person. Not wanting to ruin it, Tyler asked if he can do it again, reluctant, the photographer agreed.
After getting another chance, Tyler decides not to blow it up and chooses to use his ability to change into a more beautiful and confident species and he chooses the Great Eared Nightjar he previously added to his database. After choosing it, he starts changing into it, he first started losing all the hair, getting changed into feather, his feet becoming more avian-like and lastly changing his snout for a beak. After he completed changed, his way of speaking also changed, becoming more confident and while striking a pose he asks the photographer if this is better. He was too speechless for even saying it but he was very impressed, making multiple photos while Tyler striked more poses. This photo shoot had taken a around an hour but it wasn't for nothing, because Tyler had received the prize money. Happy Tyler goes back to the hotel to prepare to more to the next location.
A month later, when he was finnaly home, he gets a special delivery of the magazine he was posing for, being on the cover alongside a phone number of the photographer, with a message saying that he and everyone else will keep his secret and identity but if he want to pose some more, to call this number.
