Part of a collabish thing with SparkBolt3020 where I write a story and he does an artwork based on it. He suggested Greatest Show on Earth and he we are!

On top of this it's the start of a brand new series of GSOE stories. It's probably obvious in the story but it'll spin off into a little documentary feature somewhere down the line.

The Greatest Show on Earth was touring yet again, and today's show had brought Mr. M to Hollywood in California. It was the start of a cross-country tour from the West Coast to East. This particular show was a special one. There were a few executives in the audience that wanted to give Mr. M a chance of a movie deal. The one thing he wanted to do was a documentary feature of the tour he had just started. They were going to film tonight's show, and if it worked out they would continue filming each one along with cutaway interviews. It was one of the things he always wanted to do but could never afford, but with popularity coming in along with tonight, he might just be able to make it work!

This time, the setup was a bit grander than usual. The front of the stadium was rather open for the cameras and crew, and there were a lot more lights than usual. On top of that, the venue was the biggest he had ever performed in, and the show was sold out. Mr. M was determined to make this the greatest show to date!

The audience all took their seats and the film crew was all set up, it was time for the show to begin. The lights dimmed out and the spotlight shone on the center stage. There were a few moments where no one thought anything was about to happen, but a zoom-in on the big screen revealed a mere fly. The fly began swarming around the center stage, eventually creating a kind of whirlwind that would reveal Mr. M himself.

This was greeted with thunderous applause and Mr. M took a bow. It had taken ages to perfect that one.

"Hello everyone! And welcome!" Mr. M shouts out loudly to the crowd, who continue clapping. Mr. M continued after the clapping quieted down. "Thank you for attending the Greatest Show on Earth tonight. This show is especially grand, as it kicks off the cross-country tour, starting right here in my home state of California. On top of that you most likely have noticed all of the cameras in the front, and some suits in Hollywood are talking about making a documentary feature of this very tour should this go well. As a little treat for one of them, they will be my assistant for the evening." Mr. M says, beckoning a man in the front to come on stage. He nervously gets up, waving to the crowd and gets on stage with Mr M.

"I uh...I'm not great with being in front of crowds..." the man whispers to Mr M.

"Don't worry about it, trust me." Mr M. replies back. "Now then, let's make an assistant out of this man here!" he shouts to the crowd, and those familiar with the show laugh with glee. Mr. M opted to start off simple, and with a snap of his fingers, a bucket filled with water formed over the man's head.

"Wait...why's that there?" the man asks confused and Mr. M responded with a snap, the water falling onto the man. He let out a small gasp, more from the shock than anything. However, this would trigger some changes.

The man's front grew a beige fur while it grew brown everywhere else. His face pushed out into a slight snout while his nose became small and black at the tip. His eyes turned hazel as his eyelashes elongated and eyebrows thinned. The man's ears became more circular and moved to the top of his head while the rest of his hair elongated down. On top of this, a pair of glasses formed on his face, already adjusted for his muzzle. His shoulders lost their broadness while his arms slenderized, all while his legs became shapely and shorter. A decently sized tail form behind him as his rear was becoming rounder. His hips pushed out while his waist caved in. Two mounds pushed out from his chest to form breasts while his manhood was sucked back into him, turning into a fully functioning womanhood as the executive was now a female otter.

"How do you feel Elaine?" Mr. M asks with a smirk.

"Wet." she giggles. "Think you could fix that?"

"With pleasure." Mr. M chuckles as he does a little wave with his hands. The water that had now become soaked in her fur starting changing from a liquid to a solid, silk to be exact. It would turn into a light blue flowing dress with a slit going down a leg. It was a bit on the tighter end and showed some cleavage.

"Thank you Mr. M!" the new otter woman giggles.

"Round of applause for my lovely assistant!" Mr. M shouted to the crowd who broke out into applause. "Now then, I need a volunteer for the next one, who will it be?" Mr. M asks to the crowd as tons of hands raise up. He opts to chose someone more in the back this time, a woman in her mid thirties by the looks of it.

"And what is your name lass?" Mr. M asks the woman wrapping his arm around her.

"Dulce," she responded with a small giggle. "I've been to a few shows actually, first time getting picked to be on here though!" she added excitedly.

"Well Dulce, you're going to be happy to know I have a treat for you," Mr. M says as he reaches into his pocket, pulling out some kind of mashed up food by the look of it.

"So I just eat it?" Dulce asks up to him, who nods. She nods her head and eats the odd food out of Mr. M's hand. "Thank was pretty-SQUA!" she was cut off. "SQUAK!" she kept going on, some feathers coming out of her mouth with each one. However, her squawks began to come out as other sounds, from a hen's cluck to an eagle's caw. A whirlwind formed around Dulce as the noises began coming from different sources, and once it dies down the woman is no longer there, but a collection of various birds. There's a parrot, chicken, hen, eagle, and blue jay. They all take flight and fly around the stage, circling above it. The chicken just walks on the ground in a circle matching the birds in the air.

Elaine comes out from backstage with a set of cages, one for each of the birds. As she opened them up the birds swooped back down onto the stage and into their cages, the chicken simply walking into it. Elaine locked them all up and gave a pose showcasing them, to which the audience roared into applause.

"Elaine if you could take this fine avians to the back please," Mr. M instructs Elaine who does so with a wide smile on her face.

"Now then, for this next one I will need a mother and son!" Mr. M asks, still a rather good chuck of hands go up. "Over there! Come on up!" Mr. M point to a duo near the front and far to the left. The spotlight and cameras both follow the mother and son walking onto the stage holding hands.

"Greetings you two! What are your names?"

"I'm Carrie and this is my son Tyler," the woman replies ruffling her son's hair.

"How old is he?"

"He's 11," Carrie answers. "My husband couldn't make it, but I thought little Tyler here deserved seeing some magic, but now he gets to experience it!"

"Of course," Mr. M chuckles. "Let's not keep you waiting then! If I could just have you two hug each other," Mr. M instructs. The mother nods as she hugs her child, Tyler doing the same to his mother. A kind of glow emits from them as they start changing.

Tyler's face pushed outward into a muzzle as his nose became large and black. His hair retracted back into his scalp while his ears become much longer, moving to the top of his head. A light brown fur grew over most of his body, save for lighting white fur on his front. His arms became a bit more limp as his nails became claws, black fur growing over his hands. Tyler's feet became much larger, the front of them became covered with black fur as well. His nails on his feet became claws as well, while a long flat tail came out from behind him. Tyler's legs became much larger and stronger as well.

Carrie's changes were almost identical to Tyler's, and at this point they had been, save for eveything being smaller. The last changes came to the size of their actual bodies. Tyler became much larger, almost about Mr. M's size while Carrie barely reached his knee. At Tyler's stomach, an opening began to form as a pouch now rested there...something only female kangaroos had. Meanwhile Carrie lacked this feature, and simply looked up at her, or more appropriately, his mother, who picked Carrie up and tucked him into the pouch. She patted down at her now-son.

"Elaine! Please take these two to the back until the end," Mr. M shouts for his assistant, and the audience cheers as they walk off stage.

"You've all been a great audience so far! We're going to take a quick intermission and get on with some more show! Use the bathroom, get some snacks, tweet about the show, and get some questions ready, I'll be staying after the show to do some Q&A!" he added with a wave as he walked back stage, leaving the cheering crowd for a little while. As he did so one of the executives was already there waiting for him.

"Fantastic show so far," he says giving Mr. M a small clap. "Didn't need to make Charles your assistant for the evening but it'll be fun to tease him later."

"I figured it'll help you lads to see it's all the real deal," Mr. M replies.

"Either way great stuff. Keep it up going into act two and I think we can strike a deal," the man says.

"Have a little show act and of course a finale. A rather big finale that everyone will be a part of."

"Looking forward to it!" he says snapping his fingers as he returns to his seat. Mr. M on the other hand takes a swig of some water and relaxes while he can.

**********

"Welcome back everyone to the Greatest Show on Earth! We have time to do a few more things so let's make the most of it! For this next one I will need two people for this one," As usual there were tons of people ready to volunteer, and Mr. M went with two brothers who were near the farther end of the venue. They both rush up towards the stage.

"What are your names you two?" Mr. M asks them.

"I'm Jeff and this is my twin brother-"

"Cody!" he cut his brother off rather annoyed. "I don't need you to talk for me."

"Little tension there I see, let's make it a bit more appropriate for you two to be at ends," Mr. M smirks and snaps his fingers.

The two boys suddenly froze in place as their bodies started to change.

Cody's body began to grow black and white fur stripes over his whole body. A mane goes down from the top of his head down his neck to just above his back. Cody's ears became circular as they moved to the top of his head while his face pushed out greatly. His nose became large and black at the tip of his new muzzle. His whole body became heavier and larger while he was forced onto all fours. Cody's feet hardened and became more circular forming into hooves. A somewhat long tail formed behind him as Cody finished the transition into a zebra.

Meanwhile Jeff's body went through the same adjustments, on all fours as his body became heavier. However his tail was longer and his hind legs digitigrade. His nails turned to claws as his hands and feet became paws. Jeff's face pushed out somewhat, into a small muzzle as whiskers formed on both sides of them. His nose became a bit bigger at the tip of it as he grew orange fur over most of his body with white on the front. Black stripes had also formed all over. Jeff's teeth became much sharper as his jaw strengthened as he was now a tiger.

There was a brief pause as the new tiger look over to the new zebra, animal instincts taking over as he jumped at it. However right before Jeff bit into the zebra-ized Cody, Mr. M kicked in a little magic for Cody. In an instant his body stiffened as it lost all color, becoming stone grey. It stopped moving as the zebra was now a zebra statue. This caused Jeff's teeth shatter, as the bite was quite hard, at least enough to take some skin with it. The tiger whimpered a bit and ran his hand down his back. This caused a second magical chain of events as Jeff slowly got up onto two legs and his forepaws became more like hands again. His teeth returned granted dull like a human's while his hair came back albeit much longer than before, now a very humanoid looking tiger. The changes weren't entirely done yet, as his hips and rear swelled outward, including his chest which grew a set of breasts. Lastly his manhood was sucked into him and Jeff was now a petite tiger girl.

"Whoa...what happened?" she asks shaking her head. "I feel like my jaw should hurt..."

"Nothing lass, just some safety precautions," Mr. M chuckles. "You're all fine now. If you could help Elaine take this statue to the back please," he adds as the otter assistant comes back out waving and the two take the rock zebra backstage. "Now then, I'm afraid that took a little longer than expected and we are almost out of time. It's time for the finale!"

The crowd broke out into loud cheers, however the middle of the room fell quiet. This was because their bodies were altering greatly. They were getting much taller as their human features were replaced with bark and branches, leaves forming on them as the center of the venue became a mini forest. Meanwhile the rest of the venue, executives and audience members alike all becoming various forest animals. One of the suits became a squirrel, another a butterfly. A couple became a deer and doe complete with gender change, and soon enough the whole venue was froclicking in the forest peacefully. Mr. M walks off stage to pose in front of it. All of the transformed animals posed next to him as he gave a wide shot to the cameras of the forest and animals all together. Elaine was called out as she went next to him, Mr. M with his arm over her shoulder.

After getting the shots Mr. M returned to the stage and with a little magic, the whole audience was back to normal and in the right seats. All the transformed volunteers walked back onto the stage along with the birds and zebra statue. Those who could bow and shortly thereafter the zebras and birds were anthro to do another bow, and finally all back in their original forms.

"Thank you all for coming out! See you in Washington!" Mr. M says grandly with one final bow and wave as he walked off stage, greeted again with the executive from the intermission.

"Great finish! Everyone loved the show and we've decided to film the whole tour!" he says. "Welcome to Hollywood Mr. M!"

"Glad to be a part of it," Mr. M laughs. "This'll be a lot of fun to make. I got a Q&A to go do though at the hall a few buildings down. Bring the cameras, this'll be good to add to the film," he adds.

"Speaking of, Charles wanted to speak with you."

"The one who was my assistant for the show?"

The man nods as Mr. M walks over to him. "Yes?"

"Ah yes. Mr. M I had a question for you."

"I figured as much.

"Do you think you could turn me back into an otter woman? I really liked it..." he replies blushing harshly.

"See me after the Q&A, we'll see if we can work something out," Mr. M smirks as he walks out of the venue towards the hall. This was a great start to the tour.
