	My friend and roomie Draco had been up for a bit, long enough that he came out of the shower rubbing his hair. He looked at me and said, "Woah! You get in a fight? look like you have two black eyes!"		My friend and roomie Draco had been up for a bit, long enough that he came out of the shower rubbing his hair.

	I rubbed my face and felt something strange - fine fur. I groaned again. Now I knew what was happening. That damn 'Were' gene was active again! Must have caught something from that raccoon I'd been feeding a couple of nights ago. He'd sneezed on me, and now I knew this was going to be an 'interesting' Bash. Someone was going to have a pet 'coon for a day.		I rubbed my face and felt something strange - fine fur. I groaned again. Now I knew what was happening. That damn 'Were' gene was active again!

	"Damn. 'Were' gene?" he asked, and I nodded. Those of us that had it were rare, but it was a known problem, and more than a few of us were here at the TSA Bash. Problem with the gene was that it turned on under some weird circumstances, and it looked like it was my turn this year.		"Damn. 'Were' gene?" he asked, and I nodded.

	"At least you won't be a mini pony like Morgie was last year! That could have been trouble! Worked out real well though - the other guest's kids had a blast feeding him carrots!" he laughed.

	I groaned again and nodded. Draco got dressed and took off to find Vikky, and I lay back, feeling the twitches and itches as the Change worked its way with me. I'd just felt the tail growing out behind me when Vikky thundered into the room. "Oh damn, got you good, didn't it," she said. I nodded my muzzle, and sat up. I tried to say 'Hello", but I was far enough gone that only a chitter came out. She sat on the bed and petted me as I continued to change and shrink.		I groaned again and nodded.

	"Luckily this has happened often enough we have a fair selection of collars and harnesses built up," she said. "Lets see, this one looks about right." She proceeded to put the straps around me and buckle them. 'Buckle - shiney!' I thought, and knew that with my clever paws it wouldn't hold me long. "I'm going to give you to Stephie to watch - she likes you guys," Vikky said, then picked me up. "Some breakfast sound good?" she said and I nodded. Draco held the door, then we three descended to the lobby.		"Luckily this has happened often enough we have a fair selection of collars and harnesses built up," she said.

	The fruit and melon slices were very good, and listening to the conversation was amusing too, but I quickly got bored. Quietly, I started playing with the buckle and soon had it undone. A quick check - everyone was listening to Rabbit telling one of his tales, and i used the distraction to lower myself from the chair and started checking out the room.

	I'd found some spilled cornflakes by a door and was cheerfully scarfing them when the door opened and a waiter stepped out. He noticed me and snarled, "How in Hell did one of them get in here?" and grabbed for me. I gave a squeak, dodged and took off for the table, ducking and weaving as the waiter kept trying to catch me. I slid under it and hid under peoples legs.

	"Your pardon, sirs and ladies, but somehow a raccoon has gotten in and he's hiding under the table. I need to remove him, and if you will please move...,' he said. Stephie suddenly noticed I was gone and exclaimed "Oh no, he's gotten loose ''again'' - please sir, he's a pet! He's had his shots and everything, but he's too clever by half! I've tried a bunch of harnesses but he always gets loose. Please, don't put him out!" I scuttled under her chair and grinned at up the frustrated waiter.

	By now the manager had noticed and come over as Stephie picked me up and fitted my harness back on. She explained to him too, and I acted abashed and humble for him. He hesitated, then said I was all right, but if I got loose again I'd have to be put in my cage. I chittered at him when I heard that, then accepted another piece of melon.

	The day flew by, as one person or another carried me to see the sights, then I suddenly started to feel weird again as evening came on and the Mao game started. I patted Draco's leg, then motioned up. After a moment he got the idea, excused himself, and took me up to the room. It took several hours to recover, so I decided to just sleep out the night. "Heh," I thought fuzzily, "This is gonna be fun to explain in the morning..." and faded out.

I groaned and woke slowly. A different place, I slowly realized, then memory poured back in and I remembered. A hotel bed, in a strange town - Ah! I was at the Bash! Having pinned that down, I started to get on with the day and rolled over to sit on the edge of the bed. I felt horrible - I'd had the Flu coming down here, and was still feeling weird.

My friend and roomie Draco had been up for a bit, long enough that he came out of the shower rubbing his hair. He looked at me and said, "Woah! You get in a fight? look like you have two black eyes!"
