Skye ran, all four legs on the ground in her extremely fast Secui form. She hated this form, but it was the fastest one, and as her now-keen ears picked up the notes in Shawchert's song, she pumped her legs harder. This was the day - the day it'd all begin. The small pouch she'd fashioned to hold her clothes thumped against the back leg it was tied to - it was slightly annoying, but didn't slow her down in the least. Her tail wagged in excitement. This was the day! The day for a new pack!
She paused behind a tree - she knew Shaw was on the other side. She didn't want to arrive naked, however - how rude! Slipping her paw out of the pouch, she closed her eyes and began to shift.
Skye didn't shift often - usually she was in her Optime form, which suited her to a tee. However, the Secui form was faster, and she didn't want to present herself as one, so she shifted. First, her snout slimmed and gained more flexibility for better speech. Then, her mane lengthened and shifted from a light cream to a deep auburn - long, wavy hair that reached down to her chest. Then, her front paws' fingers lengthened, the strange feeling of bones stretching out making Skye's spine tingle. Her entire body grew and expanded, and her midsection lengthened, too - and in return, slimmed until curves her visible.
When she was done, she promptly stood and quickly slipped on her loose pink t-shirt and baggy blue pants. She brushed her hair out of her eyes and stepped into the small clearing Shaw was in - today! Today was the day!
"Shaw! she exclaimed, her eyes shining. "I came, just like we agreed! Today's the day, Shaw! Something great is going to happen today. Something amazing is going to happen. Something really, really amazing."
