A figgy Pudding tranformeve
Another addition to Christmas month, this was requested to me by playfingers from over on FA.
Two people could never find love but they finally were able to find each other on Christmas eve, though not in the way that they thought.
Not exactly the best name for the story but I thought that the story came out pretty good.
I hope that you all enjoy the story, I would love any criticism you guys can give.
I'm sure you've all heard of the famous poem "Twas the night before Christmas" by Clement Moore, now everyone knows that this is an iconic Christmas story but one character is always forgotten in this story. The story mentions that not even a mouse stirs, now where is this said mouse that does not stir. Well he is without a companion to keep him company, so he has no reason to be out on Christmas but this year will be different. This year he will get a mate, even if he has to make her.

Kyle sighed, it was the day before Christmas and he was staying in his little mouse hole alone... again. His siblings had been poking fun at him because he was the last of their litter to not have a mate, even his brother John had found another male. The mouse had been in a slump because he knew that soon any mice around his age would soon be taken.
As the mouse sat in his little hole he heard a small knocking noise, "Come in." He looked up to see his sister Elly "Hey sis, what's up?" She looked at him in concern, "Hey Kyle, I wanted to see how you're doing?" He smiled half-heartedly, "You know how I am, I'll survive." She frowned and sat on the edge of his bed, "I've seen you at the edge of our last family get together; you're so ashamed of not having a mate."
Kyle glanced down at his feet, "No I'm not..." Elly scooted up to him and set her paw on his shoulder, "Don't lie to me I'm your big sister, I can tell when something is bothering you." He shrugged off her paw, she seemed to mess with something in her hand before holding it out to him. "This is for you." He looked down at it and saw that it was a strange herb, "What is this?"
Elly handed it to her, "This is a special herb called transfee, if somebody were to eat this then it will change them into your form." Kyle glanced at her, "Why would you give this to me?" She smiled slyly, "I've seen you gawking at that human girl in the house." Kyle blushed under his fur, "You have?" She looked at him skeptically, "Kyle believe me, everyone has seen you looking at her." He scratched the back of his head, "I thought I was good at hiding it..."
His sister stood up and smiled at him, "You're not, but I think it's cute. Just slip that herb into something that she will eat and she'll change into a mouse." Elly started to walk out of the hole, "Hey Elly." She looked back at her brother and smiled, "Yes Kyle?" He smiled at her, "Thank you so much." She nodded and walked out of the hole. Kyle stood up and ran out the mouse hole, "I can do this!" He said excitedly.

Wren smiled as she passed by some boys, she hadn't been with anybody for a long time but had decided that this Christmas was the year that she was going to date somebody. She walked up to her front door and unlocked it, as she walked in she heard her stomach growl. "I think that figgy pudding is calling me..." She smiled as she walked towards her fridge and pulled it open.
As she opened up the fridge she didn't notice a small mousey figure skittering away from behind the bowl of pudding, she pulled the bowl out of the fridge and walked off to find a spoon. As the human turned her back to the bowl she didn't notice a few bubble appear on the surface of the pudding. Wren turned around and started back towards the bowl with a spoon, as she dipped the spoon in the bubbles popped and a spray of pudding covered the human.
Wren dropped the spoon and gasped, "What the fuck?" She muttered in annoyance, she looked at herself and frowned in displeasure. The girl walked towards her bathroom to get cleaned up, what she didn't notice was that the pudding seemed to be soaking right through her clothes. As she got into the bathroom she picked up a towel and started to wipe off the pudding but then she realized that the pudding wasn't on her clothes anymore.
"What the...?" She muttered as she pulled off her shirt to realize that the pudding that had leaked through was not only moving but it left a trail of fur in its wake, "Holy crap!" She shouted in fear, she started to desperately wipe away the pudding but found that the liquid couldn't be easily wiped away. "What is this?" Wren asked as tears of desperation ran down her face, the fur that was growing was a light white.
After a minute Wren realized that the towel wasn't doing anything, she took a desperate glance around and saw the shower. "Maybe I can wash off the fur..." She ran into the bathtub and threw on the water and let it run over her, but it didn't help in fact it seemed to make the liquid run over her faster. As the pudding reached her legs she noticed that everything was growing smaller.
Wren then realized that if she stayed in the bath at the rate of her shrinking that she wouldn't be able to get out of the shower. As she noticed that the edge of the bathtub was over her head she jumped up to it and was barely able to climb out. As she clambered over the other end of the bathtub edge she realized that she had stopped shrinking. "What happened to me?" She squeaked, after a moment she realized what she had just done.
"Oh my god... what have I become?..." Wren asked now in tears, across the room she heard an answer. "A... a mouse." She froze and slowly turned around to see a grey mouse, "H... hi, I'm Kyle."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kyle breathed heavily as he watched her climb over the edge of the bathtub; she had become a beautiful white mouse. As she finished up her transformation she seemed to be panicking as she looked over herself, he slowly walked towards her he shivered in a mixture of fear and excitement. He heard herself ask, "Oh my god... what have I become?..."
Kyle shivered as he choked out an answer, "A.. a mouse." He watched as she froze up and looked back at her, he slowly held up a paw and slowly waved at her. "H... hi, I'm Kyle." He watched as her face converted from horror to confusion then back to horror, "B... but y... you're a m... mouse..." He nodded, "So are you."
She looked down at herself and he watched as her face registered it slowly and then she looked back to him, "What did you do to me?" She asked quietly, "I... I put a herb into your pudding." She frowned, "Why did you do this to me?" Kyle lowered his head, "Well... I think that you're beautiful so I wanted to be with you..." She gaped at him and slowly an embarrassed smile crossed over her face, "Y... you think that I'm beautiful?"
He nodded, after a moment she looked up at him. "You said that your name is Kyle?" He looked up at her and nodded, she walked up to him and looked back in surprise for a moment while she registered her tail dragging behind her. She then looked back to him and held out her paw, "My name is Wren." Kyle smiled softly as he shook her paw, after a moment they both blushed.
"So... do you want to come with me to my hole?..." She smiled and nodded, "Alright... where do you live?" He pointed out towards the door, "I'm sorry but I've been staying in a hole in your living room..." She chuckled, "So that's why my cheese has been disappearing..." He chuckled softly, "Y... yeah..." The pair then rushed off though Wren tripped over her tail a few times on the way back. That night as families slipped into bed for Christmas day two mice were awake throughout the night learning about each other.

Christmas day
The mouse families from around the building were gathering together, all of the children were playing together. As the adults talked to each other they all gawked as they saw a pair walk in, "K...kyle?" The oldest of the siblings asked, he smiled and nodded. "Who is this Kyle?" He gestured towards Wren; Kyle blushed as he smiled at her. "Well she... she's my mate..." They all gasped, after a moment all of them suddenly surrounded them and cheered for them.
"Congratulations you two! Though to be honest I never thought that Kyle would get with a girl." One of Kyle's older sisters joked, as Wren smiled at him Kyle realized that his life had finally become full. As Wren grinned she realized that her wish for finding another man had really come true. That Christmas was the best that either had ever experienced before.
