Kate watched silently as the firefighters milled around the firehouse, tending to various tasks. She enjoyed the quiet times like these, they were a nice break from the adrenaline rush of firefighting. Today was a bit different however. Ate sat curled up in her bed next to the chief's desk in a depression, she had barely moved in the week since the last fire. Everyone was worried but understood why, Brian hadn’t come home from the last fire, and while everyone was part of Kates family at the firehouse, she had been closest to Brian. Even though she was just a dog, Kate understood enough to know what had happened, she never knew why her friends ran towards the fire all the time, but it wasn’t her job to question it, and she admitted she felt good, when they rescued people from it. As night fell, Kate decided she had sulked enough, and wandered into the kitchen to see if someone had left food out in her bowl. As she walked past the trucks, she heard something that stopped her dead.

“Kate”

Kate looked around, it was definitely Brian's voice, but how could that be? Trotting over to where she thought the sound came from,

“Kate” it sounded again. This time from the cab of the Ladder truck.

Kate couldn’t help but get excited, her tail beginning to wag hopefully, she couldn’t wait to see him again. Rearing up on her hind legs she tried to look into the truck’s windows but she was far too short.
*Bark*​ Kate barked in frustration, she had to get inside, but as she pawed at the hande it didn’t seem to help. She knew it was used to get the door open, but she didn't exactly know how to use it. Undeterred she continued to scratch at the handle, trying to get it open, she just had to get inside. Finally her paw hit the handle at the right angle and the door clicked open, Kate easily nosing her way in as she hopped up on the seat looking for her lost master, the door closing behind her. She was saddened by the sight of an empty cab, except for an old turncoat laying in the backseat. She let out a soft whine as she made her way too it, smelling it out of curiosity and was surprised as the familiar scent that hit her. It smelled like Brian, it must of been his before the last fire. She felt a soft comfort seem to radiate from it, almost as if Brian was there petting her. Sighing she grabbed it in her mouth and tried to leave the cab only to see she had been shut inside. Growling in annoyance she tried to paw at the inside handle this time, but the coat kept getting in the way. Sighing she decided to curl up on the backseat, and snuggle with the blanket, maybe it would make her feel better. Little did Kate know but a soft glow had surrounded her and she started to change. At first he just looked like she was getting bigger, the once spacious backseat slowly getten taken up more and more. Then other changes began, her back let out soft pops, and the curled up
position she had been laying in started to become uncomfortable. Curious Kate sat upright, but even that felt off, especially as her hind legs began to grow longer. She watched in amazement as they extended from underneath her and started to hang over the edge of the seat, her hind paws beginning to broaden and change shape, her heels positioning themselves to rest on the ground, taking the weight off what had been her paws as the pads grew larger and changed positions. Kate felt her hips Flare outwards into a feminine shape as the changes continued, her tail nearly getting crushed beneath them as they grew. Her front paws were changing shape as well, the digits lengthening, especially her dewclaw which seemed to growing at an impossible rate. All this scared Kate immensely, so much so that she was afraid to move,she didn't know what was happening or why, but she just held tight to the only thing she knew was safe, Brian’s old jacket. A sudden crack from her torso made her new seating position much more comfortable, and some large things began growing on her chest. As she reached down with her new hands to figure out what they were she felt an immense pressure in her skull that caused her to grip it in pain. She could feel her head growing larger under them, despite retaining its shape, but she also felt something else. It was as if everything was beginning to become clearer, like a fog lifting off a field. Things that had previously meant nothing to her now had purpose, she now understood why they ran towards the fires, and more importantly how important her job was. The pressure soon faded and KAte looked over herself in amazement, she still could see her old self in her body, her beautiful spotted coat, her long tail, pads adorning her new longer paws. But she also was very different, seeing a lot of features her human counterparts also possessed. Looking at the Coat still clutched in her mouth, Kate grasped it with her new appendages and turned it over, seeing the symbols that Brian always wore. It felt as though he was with her in some way. Opening the door was now an easy task for Kate to handle as she now had bot the tools and intelligence to figure it out. As she slid out of the truck's cab, she looked at her new body again and slowly pulled on the jacket, which was far too large for her even with her new size. All of her other friends wore them, and she felt safe wearing his. Heading towards the break room, she felt excited to see what her fellow firefighters thought of her now, her tail wagging beneath the coat behind her. Feeling safe that Brian would be there to guide her on this new adventure :)
