It was the weekend at last. Well, it was just gone 5.30pm on a Friday, but the work week was over, and Dan was almost home, so they considered that to be the start of the weekend. They had the evening and then two days of freedom from the frustrating monotony of work, where they were sat behind a desk for too many hours to count. They couldn’t wait to sprawl across their sofa and just watch their favourite shows for a few hours.

However, those plans were scuppered by the sight of a cardboard box propped up against the front door of their apartment. Dan practically squealed in excitement when they saw it, not having expected the package for another couple of weeks at least. They didn’t know why the mail service had suddenly become incredibly efficient, but they were glad of it.

They ran forward and picked up the package, which was heavier than they expected, and hugged it close to their chest. They even kissed the top, gagging slightly at the taste of the packaging tape that was sealing the box. Without letting go of the box, Dan awkwardly opened their front door and tossed their backpack onto the couch. They reverently carried the box and placed it down on their dining room table. Checking over the packaging a couple of times, they confirmed that it was indeed the order they had been waiting so impatiently for. Though the box was discreet enough to the untrained eye, there it was on the return address: SqueakToys.

Though they were tempted to open the box up right away, Dan walked away from the table, not looking back. They had other things they needed to do before they could indulge in their new purchase. Instead they tried to put the package out of their mind as they went into their bedroom to undress, glad to be out of their work clothes at last. They just tossed the shirt and pants to the floor with the rest of their dirty clothing, with the promise that they would deal with the laundry in the morning. They quickly refreshed in the bathroom, splashing some water on their face and smoothing out their black hair.

It was all they could do to not think about the box waiting for them.

That evening was torture. Dinner had to be prepared, and the box sat on the dining room table, taunting them for the entire time they were in the kitchen, only just out of arm’s reach the entire time. They were desperate to open it. They knew exactly what was inside, but they waited impatiently despite their desperation, their foot tapping on the floor the whole time.

Even as they ate, they stared at the box the entire time, reading over and over again the packaging information on the side, until they were confident they’d be able to recite it all with their eyes closed. They couldn’t even recall if they enjoyed their food, barely tasting it at all as they longed to open the box. In the mere half an hour it had been sat on their table, it had become as precious and important to them as another box had felt to Pandora. But they knew that when they opened this box, it would let out only good.

Finally, once their dinner was finished and the plate was washed up, Dan placed their hands on the box again. They hugged it close to their body and carried it over to their living area. They sat back on the couch and ran their fingers over the seams around the box, finding it to be taped shut very securely. Not wanting to use a knife for fear of cutting into what was within, they instead scored their keys gently across the tape in order to tear it.

As soon as the box was pried open, Dan got the strong scent of fresh vinyl filling their nostrils. They closed their eyes and breathed in deep, trying their hardest now to ignore the reaction the smell was causing between their legs. That could wait. First they wanted to enjoy the experience of laying eyes on their newest toy for the first time.

Plastic crinkled as Dan reached into the box. They caught sight of a flash of lavender vinyl beneath the plastic wrapping. They pulled it out with one firm motion, ignoring the few pieces of paper that fluttered out with the deflated pool toy. They were probably just the usual health and safety warnings; nothing they needed to worry about. Dan had enough pool toys now that they were pretty confident of being perfectly safe with the inflatables. Instead they focused solely on what was in their hands.

Within the plastic, a pale lavender and purple Goodra pool toy was folded up, with what appeared to be its belly facing up. At least, Dan thought it was the Goodra’s belly. It could have just as easily been a leg. There was only one way to find out.

Dan ripped open the plastic, letting the pool toy fall down onto their lap. Immediately they were assaulted with the powerful scent of vinyl. They had thought it had been strong before, escaping through the small holes in the wrapping, but now it was intense. They couldn’t help but let out a little groan of delight as they reverently lifted the folded toy up so they could bury their face in it.

After enjoying the sensation of the brand new vinyl rubbing over their face for a few moments, Dan eventually pulled the toy away again and slowly started to unwrap it so they could see the face. Bright green eyes gleamed out at them, and for a moment Dan was able to believe that they looked alive. A small smile grinned cheekily up at them, and from that instant Dan was absolutely in love. All of their pool toys had a special place in their heart, but this Goodra had already claimed their heart like none other had.

As Dan unwrapped the toy more and more, they were amazed to see just how big it was. They had known the pool toy would be large, but they somehow hadn’t expected how big. It was taller than them, that was for sure. They flattened the toy out across the floor and lay down on top of it. Although their heads were aligned, their feet didn’t reach halfway down the Goodra’s stubby legs, even at full stretch.

“Oh, you are perfect, aren’t you?” Dan crooned to the deflated toy as their hands wandered over the crinkled and creased vinyl. Their exploring fingers found the Goodra’s valve, right in the middle of its belly. They flicked open the plastic cap and grinned widely. For a moment, their eyes flicked across to the automatic air pump in the corner of the room, but they discarded that idea. For a toy as precious and beautiful as the Goodra, they wanted to use the air from their lungs, and not some machine to inflate their new heartthrob.

About ten minutes later they were starting to regret their decision, but it was too late to change their mind now, they stubbornly thought. Their lips were dry and their head was spinning a little, and the Goodra barely looked halfway inflated. They took a small break returning the plastic cap onto the valve to stop all of their hard work going to waste.

Leaning back to rest their head against the cushioning of the sofa, they pulled the semi-inflated pool toy close to them. It flopped forward, covering them almost completely and feeling like it was giving them a soft embrace. Dan giggled at the thought of that, wrapping their arms around the pool toy in a tight squeeze, forcing more air into the arms.

Dan just drank in the amazing scent of the pool toy for a few minutes while they caught their breath back. Any pool toy smelt wonderful to them, but there was nothing like the clean, crisp smell of one that was new out of the box. It was almost intoxicating, and it became an effort just to push the pool toy back off them so they could keep inflating it. Only the knowledge that the Goodra would look even better when it was full of air kept them going, resisting the intensifying urge between their legs.

Instead Dan focused on each breath, feeling the massive Goodra swell and become more rigid with each one. With their head in its belly, they couldn’t really see what was happening, but they could feel the little creaks and squeaks as it shifted position, the arms popping out into a pose that appeared beckoning for an embrace. Dan couldn’t wait to oblige it.

Eventually it felt firm enough against their fingers. They were glad, as they were feeling light-headed again, and they simply flopped forward to rest on the pool toy’s belly. They closed their eyes and rested their head to the side against the Goodra’s neck. With the pool toy fully inflated, their legs were suspended off the ground. Their whole weight was resting on the new toy, and they were barely making a dent in its belly.

They could have stayed like that all night, but for one little problem that was making itself known. It started subtly at first, but slowly Dan became aware that they were grinding their hips softly against the Goodra, the small squeaks of their movement gradually increasing their desire. Their inflatables were more than just toys to be fucked, but Dan was attracted to them in all areas, and so it would be wrong to deny that sometimes they were fucktoys for them. They didn’t know what it was about them that aroused them the most, but they just loved how they looked and felt, and there were many times when they imagined them moving against them, reaching down with those big mittpaws and...

Dan shuddered and closed their eyes for a few moments, trying to slow their racing thoughts. Just because they lived alone and didn’t run the risk of anyone walking in on them, didn’t mean they wanted to just lose control of their actions anywhere. They had something else in mind for their inflatable amore.

Rolling off the Goodra with a low groan, they wrapped their arms around the pool toy. Or tried to, at least. They hadn’t realised just how thick the toy was, and their hands couldn’t even meet on the other side of the inflatable, no matter how much they squeezed. Instead they had to take hold of the toy’s arms and just drag it out of the lounge room and through to the bathroom. They winced as it squeaked and scraped against the frame of the door, but it was only just able to fit through.

Carefully positioning the toy in the shower, Dan wasted no more time in stripping naked and joining it in there. It was a struggle to reach around the toy for the taps, but soon the drum of water hitting the Goodra’s head filled the room. Although the water trickled down the sides of the toy, beading up and making the vinyl surface glisten, hardly any of it reached Dan.

With a giggle, Dan squeezed past the Goodra, pressing up close to its taut skin. It creaked softly as they moved against it. The parts of its body that were wet were smooth and slippery, but the dry patches still stuck slightly to their skin.

Once they’d squeezed in between the showerhead and the pooltoy, the fierce drum of water against vinyl almost completely ceased, but Dan quickly made sure that the Goodra was getting enough water to make it slippery all over. They shivered in delight as their fingers rubbed over the taut vinyl, making the toy squeak as they slipped over it. Everything was so delightfully smooth. Even the seams were barely noticeable. They truly had never seen such a perfect pool toy before, and the way those bright green eyes stared down at them was mesmerising. They pulled down the Goodra’s head to kiss over that permanent smirk, and then they lost their resistance to their lust at last.

Dan wished they could have gone on all night, just showing their love and appreciation to the incredible Goodra that filled their shower, but they had no hot water left by the time they were reverently cleaning the pool toy of the mess they had made on its belly. As they were wiping the Goodra clean, they couldn’t help but notice there seemed to be an unusual little bulge at the base of its belly – right where its crotch would have been. They gave it a couple of little pokes before cupping their hand around it, just to make sure it wasn’t just their imagination. There definitely was a small bulge there; one that they were sure was not present on any of their other inflatables. Dan couldn’t help but grin widely at the thought of it, before cupping their other hand over their own crotch. They wondered what it would feel like, and shivered at the thought.

Finally turning off the shower, Dan stepped out past the Goodra and started to towel dry. They gazed lovingly over the pool toy for whole time, not taking their eyes away from those piercing green decals. For the night at least, they’d leave Goodra inflated in the shower, and they could clean it properly in the morning.

Wearing just their towel wrapped around their waist, Dan didn’t even both picking their clothes up from the floor before traipsing back into their bedroom, closing the door behind them. They rubbed their eyes, feeling a sudden weariness as the exertions of the day overtook them. They curled up in bed and snuggled into their covers, a smile on their face that may as well have been as permanent as the Goodra’s. They soon fell asleep thinking of the delightful squeaks their new toy made whenever they moved against it. Their dreams would be fun that night.

***

The sun woke Dan the next morning as it shone across their face. It wasn’t a problem they usually had; the bedroom window faced west, but the living room looked to the east and got all the early morning sun. With their bedroom window open, the light streamed right onto their bed. They groaned and pulled the covers up above their head and started to fumble around for their phone to see what time it was. Unable to find it, they just collapsed face first back into their pillow. It took them a few moments to realise that there shouldn’t be any sunlight falling on their bed. They had closed the door behind them.

A little alarmed, they peeked their head back out from beneath the covers. The door was indeed open. They could see right outside the window behind the couch in their lounge. Something wasn’t right, but they just couldn’t think what.

Slowly, Dan sat up and scratched behind their ear. As they did so, they breathed in deep and realised the scent of vinyl was strong. They placed their hand down behind them, and their fingertips brushed against something that shouldn’t have been there.

With a loud yell, Dan jumped out of the bed and spun around, their eyes wide with shock as they looked over the Goodra pool toy lying on its side in their bed, on top of the covers. They had left it in the shower, they knew that. Gradually, their heart rate began to slow as they tried to rationalise it. They had just been sleepwalking in the night. That must have been it. Sleep addled, they had gone into the bathroom and pulled the pool toy back into bed with them.

Dan was just about convinced that must have been true, before the pool toy moved. It simply sat up and fixed its unblinking, piercing gaze on them, thick stumpy arms beckoning out into a hug.

“Am I still dreaming?” Dan asked quietly. They rubbed their eyes a few times and shook their head, but the pool toy stubbornly remained visible in front of them.

The pool toy twitched its stubby mittpaw, beckoning Dan to come closer. Without thinking, they obliged and crawled back up onto the bed. They placed their hands on the Goodra’s belly. It felt exactly the same as it had done the previous day, but now there were a few occasional twitches of independent movement. It was impossible, but somehow their Goodra had come alive.

“You’re real?” they asked, slowly stroking their hands up to cup around the toy’s chin. It nuzzled down into them and nodded. Its facial expression remained unchanged; the same coy, slightly smug smirk adorning its muzzle, but now there was an extra sparkle to its painted-on eyes that wasn’t just the shine of vinyl in the sunlight.

“I am very real, Dan. It is a pleasure to meet you properly.”

The light, delicate voice came unbidden into Dan’s head, and their eyes widened even more as they looked up to the Goodra. Its mouth hadn’t moved at all, but Dan knew where that voice came from. Their beloved pool toy could talk!

Dan squeaked in delight and practically jumped into the Goodra, knocking it down onto its back as they embraced it tightly. Unlike the previous day when the hugs had been very one-sided, this time they felt its thick arms pressing down on the bare skin of their back. They let out a quite groan from the soft rubs, kissing the Goodra’s neck as they couldn’t reach its muzzle from their current position.

“You like me then?” the Goodra asked. Dan wasn’t sure if it was their imagination, but they were sure they saw a little pink blush on its inflated cheeks as they looked up.

“Like you? I love you!” Dan exclaimed. They slowly sat up on the pool toy’s belly, their legs clenched either side so they could balance on it. They realised they were sitting just above the small bulge they had noticed the previous night, and this time it was their turn to blush crimson as they recalled the activities in the shower. “I... did you feel everything, from last night?”

“Of course I could. You seemed to enjoy my company.”

“And... could you move then as well, or was that just this morning?”

The pool toy remained coyly silent as it rubbed over Dan’s belly, the mitts dipping low. Dan blushed even deeper as they felt the inevitable stirring in their crotch. They weren’t sure what they would have preferred. Had the pool toy been capable of moving, and had welcomed their advances, or was it only since then it had been able to move? Or did it even matter?

“I... uh...” Dan spluttered, not wanting to stop the Goodra’s motions. It felt so nice. They leaned back slightly, their hands sliding across the toy’s belly until one accidentally pressed down on the small bulge. The toy shuddered slightly beneath them. “Does... does that feel nice?”

The Goodra nodded and pulled Dan forward again, wrapping them up in another embrace that had more strength in it than Dan would have expected from a creature made solely of vinyl and air. They squeaked slightly as they were pulled forward, their mouth pressing right into the Goodra’s soft muzzle. They kissed for a few seconds before separating again.

“Would you like to know how it feels?”

“W-would I?” Dan spluttered. Their cheeks turned even redder. They could feel the heat radiating off them, and they were painfully aware of the erection that was prodding against the Goodra’s belly. “I would love nothing more!”

Despite its face remaining unchanged, Dan was sure the Goodra’s smug smile had grown even wider. The scent of vinyl had grown even stronger, intoxicating Dan.

“I had hoped you would say that,” Goodra said. It placed both mittpaws over Dan’s face, stroking over their nose and mouth. “Breathe in my scent now.”

Dan had no choice but to obey – not that they would want anything else. They took a deep breath in, revelling in the scent of vinyl as it filled their nostrils. They breathed in again. And again. And again. They didn’t notice anything unusual until they took their sixth breath in without exhaling once. They tried to breathe out, but only inhaled again. When they tried to question what was happening, they realised that they couldn’t open their mouth at all. They couldn’t feel their lips, or their tongue.

Clapping their hand up to their face, Dan felt around for their mouth, but could only feel a strange smoothness that felt incredibly familiar, but unlike anything they had ever felt on their body. Vinyl. They were still breathing in through their nose, but there was nothing but a smooth patch of vinyl beneath it. They were sure it was sporting a wide, painted on grin, as that was what would be there if they still had their normal lips.

“You’ll learn how to speak like me soon. For now, just relax and don’t worry about anything,” Goodra said, moving its mittpaws away and giving Dan a gentle push so they toppled back onto the bed.

Dan couldn’t even squeak or huff as they fell backwards. With both of their hands distracted as they felt over the small patch of vinyl, they simply lay on their back and closed their eyes. They could hear the soft squeaks of the Goodra’s body as it moved off the bed. It was probably standing just above them, but just for the moment Dan was able to ignore it and focus on the changes that were starting to take place. Still they were breathing in, without once exhaling. They were beginning to feel a little light, but nothing else appeared to be different for the moment.

Suddenly their eyes snapped back open again. At first, Dan wasn’t sure what had happened, but it wasn’t until they tried – and failed – to close their eyes again that they realised. Their hand wandered up a little higher, feeling the spreading vinyl that appeared to have missed their nose for the moment, until those fingers brushed right over their vision. They didn’t flinch or recoil at all. Their eyes were little more than vinyl decals now, and that thought sent their heart racing. Not that they’d have one of those for much longer.

Still their nose remained untouched, even as they could feel their hair getting absorbed beneath the vinyl, their head getting smooth and shiny beneath their hands. Breathing in again and again. They glanced down to see their naked body was starting to get bigger. Their belly was swelling out, legs becoming thicker. They couldn’t be sure if they were imagining it or not, but they were sure that their skin had a slight purple sheen to it. This was happening. This was really happening. If it was just some dream, then it was an incredibly vivid one.

A brief moment of alarm passed through Dan as their fingers started to feel numb. They glanced down at their hands, watching as they began to melt together and turn translucent. Their arms had turned to vinyl while they had been distracted by their face, and now their hands were gone entirely, leaving behind just thick stubs, with just the outline of a handprint left behind.

Immediately, Dan buried their face in those new mittpaws, revelling in the sound of them squeaking over their partially transformed head. Their ears had moved already, migrating up to the top of their head, and two bumps had formed, which they knew would eventually grow out into the long tendrils that adorned every Goodra’s head.

Realising there was a part of them they had been neglecting, Dan reluctantly moved their mitts away from their head to clumsily stroke over their groin. When they couldn’t find anything down there, they initially thought that their new clumsy hands were simply missing their cock, but when they looked down they realised when had actually happened. Their crotch had already been overtaken by vinyl, their mitts squeaking as they rubbed over it. There was no trace of their genitals left, with just a small bulge like the one on the Goodra toy’s crotch.

A sharp intake of breath was the only sound Dan could make as their mitts pressed down on that sensitive bulge. They would have closed their eyes if they could, but they were unblinking decals now. Instead they could only arch their back and push down firmer, feeling the bulge crinkle beneath the diminutive pressure of their air-filled arms. Every rub and brush felt so nice it made them shiver with pleasure.

With every breath in, Dan’s belly was starting to swell and expand. Their skin remained taut and smooth as it faded into the distinctive purple and lilac markings of a Goodra. Their neck extended up, remaining flexible enough that they could lift their head up off the bed and stare down in wonder at their changing lower body. Their tendrils bumped against the other Goodra toy’s crotch, making it shiver in delight.

A thick nub was pressing out at the bottom of their back, where their spine had once been before it had been overtaken by vinyl and air. They shivered, knowing what was about to happen. They took a deep, never-ending breath in, the air diverted down to the growing limb as a thick tail grew. It twitched a few times until it was completing, bursting into life in one sudden pulse of sensation. Dan wanted to hug it close to their chest, but they couldn’t roll forward enough to reach it yet.

With their tail complete, it wasn’t long before the translucent vinyl spread down their thighs and calves, before engulfing their feet. Dan spread their toes one last time before they melded together, forming a featureless paw much like their hands. They squeezed their legs together, watching the vinyl distort from the pressure.

Only two things remained to change.

A strange pressure started to form on Dan’s chest, before with a satisfying pop, their valve emerged. Rigid plastic stuck out from their thick belly, and their mittpaws brushed over it to feel what it was like. They shuddered in pleasure. If anything, that felt more sensitive than the null bulge had become. They inhaled sharply, and then there was nothing. No more air entered their body as the pressure spread up to their face. Again came the urge to squeeze their eyes closed as it grew and grew. They felt like their head was stretching out, before their muzzle abruptly burst from their face.

Letting off a silent, internal groan, Dan felt complete. Their body was done, and they couldn’t stop exploring it with their stubby hands. Every squeak, rub, and creak felt amazing. Now they could truly feel what their toys did. And it felt beyond anything they could have imagined. They were perfect.

“How does that feel?” the Goodra asked, placing its paws on Dan’s shoulders. “If you can’t work out how to speak yet, just nod if it’s good.”

Dan didn’t even try speaking yet. They weren’t sure if they were capable as the wonder of it all overwhelmed them. Instead they nodded vigorously several times, their neck creaking as their vinyl skin rubbed against itself. They struggled to get up to their feet. Every part of their body felt so light, and with their thick legs they creaked and rubbed against each other in ways they weren’t used to. Their ankles scrunched slightly beneath their minimal weight as they found their balance, trembling in delight as each movement brought a new round of creaking squeaks.

“I am glad. I did hope you would like it,” Goodra said, a pleased undertone evident in its mental voice as it helped Dan balance. It then turned its head slightly to look towards the cupboards that contained all of Dan’s deflated toys. “Maybe soon we can bring them out to have fun with. But first, I think it should be just us.”

Dan glanced down to their mittpaws. Still unable to work out their mental voice, they batted lightly at their belly nozzle, then up to their muzzle. Their arms couldn’t actually reach their head without leaning their long neck down.

They could hear the smirk in Goodra’s voice when it responded. “You have an electric pump, do you not? Together we can work it out.”

Dan nodded again. They were very much looking forward to playing with the other toys, but the Goodra was right. This time should be just for the two of them; identical Goodra inflatables playing with each other. Before they could even work out how to ask the Goodra how they were going to play with each other, the other toy pushed them back onto the bed. Easily unbalanced off their stubby feet, Dan slowly fell back and bounced off the top of the mattress.

Glancing to the side, they watched the pool toy walk around the bed, before clumsily crawling on by their head. Their ears flicked a couple of times, sounding like a balloon being flicked as they tapped against the side of their head. They were then surprised, and delighted, as the Goodra sat down over their belly, facing down towards their legs and tail. They shifted and squeaked against each other, bellies pressed together, until they could both press their unblinking faces into each other’s null bulges.

It was hard for the two toys to stay pressed together. Their air-filled bodies kept pushing back against each other. They bounced and bucked, squeaking and creaking across the bed as they rolled together, trying to find a position to keep teasing each other with. They never found that position, forced to keep rolling and squirming, but neither grew tired of it.

Lacking anything that resembled a proper mouth or tongue, Dan couldn’t lick and tease the bulge like they would like, instead forced to just keep nuzzling, but that was somehow enough. The Goodra was doing the same to them, and it felt truly divine. Pleasure was spreading through their entire, air-filled body. Their legs and tail twitched, bapping against the other toy with little snicks and squeaks.

Dan could feel their orgasm growing, the tingling pleasure rising in their crotch and through their limbs. They pushed that energy into their muzzle, eager to keep nuzzling and teasing their new twin, making sure it was able to feel the same delightful pleasure they were experiencing. They didn’t want their toy to miss out.

Like their breathing had been a constant inhale, so did the orgasmic pressure only continue to rise within their crotch. It built and built and built, with no release coming. Dan’s whole body was quivering with pent up need, their mitts squeaking as they scrambled at the pool toy above them, trying to press it down firmer into their muzzle. They didn’t even know how much time had passed – they had few thoughts in their head but for the growing need at their crotch, and the desperation to get the Goodra above them to feel the same, intense sensations as them. They barely even noticed the toy quivering like them, the two voicelessly squeaking against each other, locked in a rapturous dance.

Dan’s orgasm never came. It couldn’t. They had nothing but a null bulge where their crotch had been, but that didn’t worry them at all. Why would it worry them, when their whole body felt like it was right on the cusp of constant orgasm? They trembled with pleasure, but now they didn’t have to worry about losing that delightful feeling with something as ridiculous as an orgasm. Instead they could just stay pressed up against their Goodra toy’s smooth body and enjoy every last sensation.

Their body tense and shaking with pleasure, Dan squeaked in surprise as the Goodra finally pulled away from them, rolling to the side and carefully standing up on trembling legs. It held out its arms for Dan to take hold of.

The immediate sensations of being on the cusp of orgasm were starting to fade, the urgency fading and allowing more coherent thoughts to form. Everything still felt so good though. Even just sitting up felt amazing.

“That was... you... wow...” Dan stammered, finding their mental voice at last.

The Goodra held its hands in front of its muzzle and shook in a silent giggle. “I thought you’d like that.”

Dan nodded and squeaked, before peering out past the Goodra, turning their attention away from the toy for the first time. They looked out towards the front window, where the sun was no longer visible. How long had they been locked together?

Dan trembled and accepted the toy’s help in getting off the bed, before slowly padding towards the door. They could feel the door frame squeezing their body as they pushed through, almost falling over as they popped out the other side. Sure enough, the sun had passed across to the other side of their apartment, shining in from the kitchen window. Had it really been several hours?

The converted pool toy spent a few moments looking around their apartment at all the things they no longer needed. Their feet squeaked and stuck against the tiled floor as they wandered the open-plan kitchen. Food and water meant nothing to a pool toy. All that mattered was the air inside their vinyl body and the pleasure they felt whenever someone touched them. The fixed smile on their face matched their thoughts as they turned back to face the Goodra toy.

“This... is all permanent?” Dan asked the pool toy. Had they been able to hold their breath, they would have done so as they waited for a response.

“If you want it,” the Goodra replied immediately, still stood in the doorway to the bedroom, not squeezing through into the lounge room just yet.

“My job and everything?”

The Goodra shook its head. “All taken care of. You don’t need to worry about how. Or anything from that old life anymore. You just have to think of this one. Just me.”

Dan’s tail shook so hard it bounced against the kitchen cabinet, almost over-balancing them and sending them sprawling across the floor. They wanted nothing more than what the Goodra was offering them.

They couldn’t move quickly with all the air filling their light body, but they hurried as fast as they could across the lounge, before bending down near the empty box their amore had come in. Their big mittpaws couldn’t grip, and their body was too light to pick up anything heavy, but they were just about able to lift the electric pump off the floor.

Again their exterior smile matched their thoughts. Nothing but a delighted smile as they accepted their new fate. They were no longer human. They were better than that. They were a Goodra pool toy, with the best companion they could ever hope for. With a little difficulty, Dan raised the pump up a bit higher.

“You and me, and our friends in the cupboard. How about we let them out?”
