Hugs and kisses between all of the bridesmaids. Squeals at Holly displaying the ring. Nick/Nicki felt her hearing going. At least that is what he prayed for during the gossiping. Marlene is sleeping with her boss Roger. Did you hear that Cathy needs to get her roots done to hide the gray? Olivia’s got work done on her. Her face looks like stretched out pizza dough. I think that is Yvonne is pregnant. Last time we were out she didn’t drink and you know what a drinker she is. After a half an hour Nicki’s eyes searched for a gun but a male stripper appeared.
The faux cop swung something that he realized wasn’t a billy club. Could none of his senses be left alone. The ringing phone from Diane’s purse drew her away from the show. Nicki heard her say, “I will be home right away.” She interrupted the festivities. “Sorry everyone but I need to leave. My sitter needs to get home.”
“I will do it.” Nicki said.
“Really?” Diane asked hopefully.
Looking back to the half naked stripper before saying, “Absolutely.” Nicki saw that his sister Holly nodded letting him off. Paroled from the torture he seized his keys on the way out the door. Arriving quickly he found Karen meticulously applying makeup. Nicki asked, “Karen I am here to takeover. What is the emergency?”
“Brian Hanover said he wants to go out with me tonight. Well, bye.” Karen said flippantly.
Nicki watched the teen flounce off. He didn’t care that her emergency involved teen hormones. It freed him of the party. Besides Davy and Laura were good kids. “Hey, you two are you ready for bed?”
A unison “No.” With the kids rushing out. Laura saying, “Nikki, Nikki.” With her younger brother saying, “Mikki, Mikki.” Struggling with his pronunciation.
Nicki didn’t think that her last babysitting made that much impression. A round of hugs and then guiding them into the bathroom to start the process of readying for bed. Promises of a game of dog run pushing compliance. Nicki left them not realizing the medallion fell free from him. He went about setting up a movie.
A precious artifact of one of their favorite sitters. She played games with them. Most of their sitters plopped them in front of the TV till bed time. Davy took up medallion playing with the dials. Laura too late said, “We should give that back to Nikki. It isn’t ours.” Her words unheeded as Davy placed the medallion over his head.
Into his flesh dashing away from his sister. “Doggy, wanna play doggy.” His lips becoming loose blackening. A cool wetness on his as it pushed out. Davy’s ears lengthening out swaying while he fell to all fours. Hair rolling out across his body. He recognized and loved the transformation. Pushing it along a waggy tail. His teeth became stretching up into canines. A tricolor of black brown and white fur patches coating him. His appendages shrinking down becoming short and stubby.
The basset hound rounded a corner and came upon Nikki who scooped him up. It took a moment for the process to go from I didn’t know they got a dog to the dog saying, “I am a doggy, woof, woof.” Davy laughing in enjoyment. “Play dog run.”
“Bit hard to roll dice with paws.” Nikki said. Davy whimpered at the realization.
