Jacob runs up to a small building called Patricia's Potions. His friend had told him that his dreams could be fulfilled if he went there, he'd always wished to be different from normal men. Inside of the shop, there were various beakers and bottles with multi-colored liquids in them, no sign of any employee though Jacob is very intrigued with the store, he'd always been interested in potions and magic but didn't believe it was possible. "Hello? Is anyone there?" Jacob called out.

"I'll be right with you!" A woman's voice called out from the other room, rushing hitting the counter, falling over it landing on her rear. She quickly got up and dusted herself off. "Hello!" She said catching her breath. The odd part was the woman had fur, as a matter of fact, she was a weasel woman!

"Oh my god he wasn't lying" Jacob said practically jumping with excitement.

"That's an odd hello." The woman replied with a raised eyebrow.

"Sorry, I'm just a bit excited, my friend told me there was a shop with real potions, not that phony stuff to rip people off, I've always wanted to be something a bit different, not human... When I saw you I knew it was possible!" Jacob replied.

"Knew what what possible?" She asked tilting her head.

"Can you turn me into something?" Jacob asked. "Maybe some sort of dog... I've always loved Shiba inus!"

"What makes you think I have the power to do that?" She asks crossing her arms.

"My friend told me it was a potion shop, sorry for assuming." Jacob seemed a bit embarrassed.

"It is. At least I hope it is anyways." She paused for a moment. "No it is, it is."

"So can you change me? I've got money, I'll pay anything to be different" Jacob said suddenly excited again.

"Oh yeah, I was talking to you!" She giggled it off. "But yeah. I'm able to do that. Potions of the transformative nature are what I sell here."

"How much are they!?" Jacob replied excitedly.

"Well they last from one hour, a day, week, month, and finally permanent." She replied. "Starts at $10 for an hour to $50 forever."

"Can I try it for an our to see if I like it?" Jacob pulled out his wallet and handed over a ten dollar bill.

"Alright. And did you want to stay male or try out the female life for the hour?"

"I'll stay male"

"First time that happened." She shrugged. "Suite yourself. I'll be back in a moment then." Patricia went behind a curtain over a sign that says "Employees Only." After a few minutes she returns with a cup. "Here we are." She said handing it to Jacob. "However fast you drink it will determine how fast it goes."

Jacob gulped down the drink without hesitation, he noticed the tail growing behind him and quickly loosened his belt to let it out so it doesn't rip his pants. He stayed relatively the same size and none of his other cloths rip, in a voice a bit deeper then before he said "This is awesome!!! I don't even know what I should do for the next hour, do you have any suggestions, I mean... I'm going to be a whole new person."

"I dunno. Check your stocks maybe? I have of feeling AOL might be making a comback soon." Patricia responded.

Jacob's body became coveted with white and yellow fur, his face elongating out into a muzzle while his nose became black and wet. Jacob test wags his new tail and wiggle his nose "Thank you so much for this, if I like it I'll probably back within the hour to purchase a permanent potion."

"If you ever want to its $50." Patricia responded.

Meanwhile Jacob's ears became large and triangular, moving to the top of his head while his feet morphed into paws, his legs turning digitigrade, now in the body of a Shiba inu.

"I'll remember that, you have any advertisement cards or something I can give to others? I got a few other friends who would probably love this place!" Jacob asked.

"You know when you run a business as I do one of the most important things to have are business cards...which is a memo I did not get because I don't have any."

"Ah well, I'll make sure to tell em anyways, I've gotta go show the friend who told me about this place! See you in in hour" Jacob said "See you in an hour."

"Have fun." Patricia waved to him.

A little less than an hour later Jacob walked through the doors again, he still has a few of the dog features but they are quickly retreating. He's only got a few patches of fur and a shrinking stub were his tail was. His nose slowly lightening to his normal skin tone, he clearly wasted no time getting here. "I'll take the permanent." he said excitedly as he placed fifty dollars on the counter.

"Great. There are a few waivers you'll need to sign. It basically says that you acknowledged that is would last forever and you'd never be the same human again." She explained. "It's more for my legal safety and such. Read that's a good idea on Wikipedia."

"I understand that, I can't imagine someone buying a permanent and claiming they didn't, that'd be one hell of a lawsuit, I'll gladly sign them" Jacob replied. Jacob signed the wavers and sat excited as the last of his fur vanished.

"Alright then." She said taking the signed waivers. "I'll be right back with the potion." Not much later, Patricia comes back with yet another potion. "Well, here you go." she said handing to cup to him. "A doggy life liquidized."

Jacob took a small drink letting the changes come in slower this time. His familiar tail reemerged and his face elongated into a snout. His ears move a bit up his face as he took another drink draining the cup to about half. Fur began to grow on his face and hands as the thick paw pads grow on his hands yet again. Jacob's ears finish traveling across his face and change shape into his dog ears. He decided to let the changes finish and drinks the rest. The fur covering the rest of his body and his eyes turning a bright green almost as if they're glowing. His nose turns black and wet while his feet elongate into a digitigrade stance and finally grow thick paw pads. Once the changes are complete he exclaims "it's good to be back in this body!"

"I can tell. Not because I knew that but because you said it." Patricia replied back.

"Odd question... So I'm now 18 which means I'm of age... My parents definitely wouldn't take me back after this which means I need a way to earn money, do you have job openings? Cause I'll gladly work here, I'll work hard especially for someone who made my dreams come true!" Jacob asked eagerly.

"Maybe..." Patricia said with a hand on her chin. "Your work attitude seems good, but how do I know if your passionate about this kind of work?"

"I don't know, what do you need me to do, I'll do it!" Jacob replied after thinking for a bit.

"Do a handstand." she replied casually.

Jacob attempted it quickly realizing that his body shape makes it a lot easier and does a handstand "Wow! I didn't think of how the thinner body shape would effect my agility!"

"I didn't actually expect you to do that." she giggled a bit. "I mean handstands have nothing to do with making potions. That's just silly."

"I know, but I said I'd do anything" Jacob replied.

"Still, I expected you to at least question it." she shrugged. "I do not like having to things myself..." she pondered out loud. "Maybe I could start you off with janitorial duties."

"Sure!" He replied. "Anything to help, I'm also pretty good at certain digital art. I could try and make you a business card if you want!"

"We'll see. But probably. Probably definitely see." Patricia replied.

"Thank you so much!" Jacob replied "Call me when you've made your decision" Jacob pulled out a note and wrote down his phone number and handed it to Patricia.

"Yeah...I don't actually have a phone so...I'll just hire you." Patricia replied.

"Oh! Ok!" Jacob said in excitement. "Were do I start?"

"Well we need a mop and one of those yellow things you put a mop in." she replied. "Get those I guess? And other janitorial stuff to."

"Ok" Jacob walked out of the little potion shop and into another store. He bought the needed stuff and returned. He immediately began cleaning the shop excited that he finally has a job.
