Cara's story part 2

Cara swished her tail back and forth still getting used to it. She felt extremely hungry and decided to head to the cafeteria. She would not be able to eat meat for much longer so she decided to get a 2 large hamburger since she needed to keep her energy up.

Upon sitting down she saw the Ostrich girl come in. She was tall! She was easily 7 feet tall from the top of her head to her taloned toes. After grabbing some food she noticed cara looking at her. Embarrassed cara looked back down at her food. When she looked up again she saw the girl looking back at her smiling.

“Mind if I sit next to you”
“ohh…. No not at all cara responded”
The Ostrich girl set her tray on the table and moved her body down into a sitting position.
“my name is Stephanie. What’s yours”
“I’m Cara”
“Nice to meet you. I just saw you today outside. I’m guessing you’re new here. So what are you having done? Wait let me guess you have always dreamed of being a mermaid?”
Standing up cara turned so Stephanie could see her tail as she flicked it to one side.
“a horse satyr? Kind of unique. I like it.”
“no a centaur”
“wow… have they ever done one of those.”
“Not to my knowledge… or at least no one has voluntarily.”
“That’s really cool. I’m rather happy with my change.”

Cara looked Stephanie over. From the waist up she had a unique beauty. She had naturally brown curly hair and brown freckles. Her bust and chest were covered by a simple tank top. Her slender waist tapered inward and bulged outward covered by grayish brown and white feathers that started as downy brown feathers (the kind you would expect to see on a chick) gradually forming into the body of a female ostrich. Her wings were fully functional however she chose to keep them neatly folded.

“so what inspired you become a centauress?” Stephanie asked as she took a bite of an apple.
“well…” Cara though about it. Could she really saw that she was going though this to get the guy of her dreams Matt???
“well… I really like horses a lot and there is this guy. He is a vet at an equine clinic. Though he would pay more attention to me.”
“hmmmm sounds like you must really like this guy or just really want to hoof it. Have you thought about what would happen if he does not like it?”
Cara almost turned white. What if he is freaked out and rejects her??? No… He always loves horses to and they had been friends since they were kids. She knew once changed she would be his dream girl.
“… I have a feeling. And at rate, fantasies fulfilled offered me a modeling job once I become a centaur to advertise the new advanced transformations. What about you?”
“well I love birds and I love going fast. It seemed perfect. Don’t know if I will really need a car after this” Stephanie said rubbing a hand though her feathered back.
After casual talk Cara meet with Dr. Marcus.
“There are a few things we need to go over cara since your changed will likely accurate.” Dr. Marcus displayed an image of what cara would look like once fully transformed.
“First of all your diet will have to change. There is only so much the nano machines can do. You can’t eat meat any more. This restriction will include eggs. The body you’re getting will be physiologically more closely related to a pony even though you’ll have the body of an Arabian mare. You might be able to eat a bite of meat here or there but anything more than a bite could make you really sick. You will have to stick to a vegetarian diet. Diery products will be ok though. Do you understand?”
Cara noded her head
“in addition you will need to get pleanty of exercise when you can. You should not need shoes, however it would not hurt to wear hoof boots on occasions.”
“ummm how about going to the bathroom?” cara said looking at the image of herself as a centaur.
“well you will have to go like a mare. You’ll have to start learning how to aim”
After some time later cara retired to her room. It was getting late and she was feeling sore. As per Dr. Marcus advice she was told to sleep in the nude since they were not sure at what pace her changes would occur. They knew it would only take a few days but at what rate was unclear from the computer simulations. Cara thought about brushing her hair and tail but was just too tired. As soon as she slipped into her bed she quickly feel asleep.

Dreaming cara was standing in a field. She saw a horse running towards her. She was frozen in place. Desperately she wanted to move but it was like her feet were glued to the ground. The horse galloped at a tremendous speed until it hit her.
She woke up with a jerk of fright from her dream. Cara breathed a sigh of relief realizing that she was only dreaming. She had a dry mouth and was very hungry. Without giving it much thought and still being drowsy tried to stand.
“whaaaaa” Cara yelled as she fell back onto the bed.
Cara was momentarily dazed until she put one hand on her thigh and felt fur.
“fur???” cara thought
Looking down she looked at her legs. Starting about 4 inches below her naval a fine bay horse fur started. It continued down until the hocks of her legs and darkened ending in cream colored horse hooves on each leg.

Trying to stand again cara held out both hands to try and maintain balance and carefully took a step forward and then another. She looked at herself in the mirror and saw the full extent of her change. She had the hind quarters of a well built mare. Her tail had gotten longer and the long hair was now only inches from the floor. Taking a step forward Cara grabbed a railing that lead from the door to the bathroom. Steadying herself with one hand she touched her belly moving downward. Her fur coat that covered her lower body felt typical of any horse she had touched. Moving further downward she came to what should have been her genitals and found nothing. Realizing just how much she had changed in one night she lifted her tail upward and looked back and saw that her anus and womanhood looked like what all mares were born with.

Tentatively walking to the bathroom she saw herself approaching in the mirror. It was almost like she was a horse stuck rearing up. She could hear each hoof hitting the floor as she moved to the toilet to relive herself. Her rear was a lot bigger but she managed by lifting and grabbing her tail and doing her business.
After showering, brushing her hair and tail she had learned to walk slightly better. It still felt awkward and difficult balancing all her weight on two hooves. After putting on her bra and blouse on, Cara stood there looking down at her lower body.
“how should I go about covering this”
Cara pulled out a pair of underwear and slid it up her thighs. It was tight… to tight and she did not think to bring a dress. Pants would just be out of the question. It seemed she would have to go uncovered and just be careful not to flick her tail and reveal herself to anyone.

Dr. Marcus opened the door just as Cara was fiddling with what to wear.
“Sorry to disturb you. It looks like you have done some changing since last night” looking at Cara’s legs.
“I know. Feels kind of weird but I like it” cara said resting one hand on her thigh and the other on the dresser.
“I can imagine. Do you need help getting to the cafeteria? I also scheduled your first physical therapy today. Did not think you would be this far along though”
“I should be able to manage but we’ll see”


Cara took each step carefully even though it was getting easier walk. You could hear cara walking down the hallway as her hooves clopped on the floor. Upon entering the cafeteria there were some looks but nothing out of the ordinary.
“You should sit down. You’re still a little uneasy on your hooves but it should not be long before the nano machines get charged up and you have 4 on the floor. Hope you’re hungry”
“Yeah I’m so hungry I could eat a…” cara caught herself from saying horse.
“well that might be cannibalism my dear.” Dr. Marcus said smiling with her own tail genially swishing back and forth.
Cara walked over to a table and sat down as best she could on her equine hunches. It was not long before the doctor came back with a large tray with a large bowl of pumpkin soup, a generous proportion of peanut butter toast, 2 apples, a very large bottle of water and a bowl of oat meal.
“I hope your hungry. You’re going to need your energy for this next change.”
“I’m trying to figure out how this next set of changes will occur.”
“We have run simulations of how the nano machines might do it and there are a few different ways. The first and one were hoping to avoid is your hands and chest will turn into the forelegs and chest of a horse. You will then grow a new human torso. The other likely way is your new legs should come just in front of your legs now and grow out.”
“well as long as the result is the same. Out of curiosity what about my heart and lungs. Will they shift as well”
“Your human lungs and heart will slowly degenerate as equine ones replace them when your body fills out.”
“the heart of a horse huh?” Cara said taking a bite of oat meal and shifted her tail to a more comfortable position next to her.
“yep. I have to go and check on other patients but I will see you in physical therapy in an hour. Try and eat as much as you can by the way. You’ll need all the energy you can get.”
After eating nearly all her food Cara felt almost uncomfortably full and made her way to the physical therapy room

“ah you’re here Cara. We would like to run a series of exercises to see how you’re doing and if your legs are developing properly. First Let’s see how well your are balancing. Try to stand in the same place and keep your balance”
Cara put both hands up on her shoulders trying to obey the commands and flicked her tail to one side.
