Prompt: “Cat nose.” — suggested by Lexi

“A cat nose? Seriously?”

I shrug. “Yeah, why not?”

Beth shakes her head but raises her wand. “Okay then, if thats’ really what you want.

She points her wad at my nose and I stiffen slightly. My heart starts to pound.

“Just as long as you–“

There’s a sharp snap. My nose goes numb for a moment and I squeeze my eyes closed.

Beth’s face is the first thing I see when I open my eyes. Her expression is equal parts amused and worried.

“What?” I demand.

“Well,” Beth says slowly, “it’s definitely a statement look.”

What do you mean?” I ask, searching desperately for a mirror. “What did you do to me?!”

I stomp to the nearest puddle. I take a deep breath before peering down.

I look absolutely hideous. Sure, it was supposed to be a fun little joke between friends, but this is just too much.

I turn on Beth. “Change me back. Now.”

She looks at me with wide eyes and my heart sinks.

I walk to her and grab her by the shoulders. “Please, Beth, tell me you’re joking. Please tell me that you can change me back.”

She just shrugs helplessly.
