The Domo Plush

Ben let out a loud sigh of releif as he stepped back into the warmth of his home. Over the last few days, it had started to snow in some locations over the world. And whilst some people might have dreamed of a white Christmas after several years of no snow through the festive season, it seem that It had finally come, albeit a few days early.

Sadly for Ben though, the snow had caused a few complications. He had wanted to go out for a nice cooked meal rather than cook for himself, but with all the snow, the road had become icy, and driving was not advised unless they were prepared for the worse. He had attempted to make his way to the place in his car, but the road was just too slippery and he had trouble trying to drive straight.

"Looks like I'm having to cook for myself again..." He sighed as he stepped inside, only to notice a small box sitting on the table next to him.

"Huh? What's this?" He said as looked at it. On the top of the box was his address, and on the side of it was the address of the sender: P. Pendragon.

"Peter sent this?" He said, shaking the box a little, wondering what it could be. He looked all over it, there was no 'do not open till xmas' indication written, so he thought he might as well take a look at what was inside. He carefully opened the lid of the box, and inside it was an abundance of styrofoam peanuts, padding whatever was inside. He reached in with his hand and grabbed whatever was inside, and when he pulled it out to look at it... he went silent.

There, held in his hand, was a plush of a small, blue, alien-like creature with a round head and big black eyes.. It had a lighter blue texture around its chest, and the round head was adorned with little fangs. He recognised the plush character. It was Domo. After staring at it long enough, he also saw there was a small piece of paper in his hand too, which he unfolded and read.

"Hey there Ben, what's up? Are you getting ready for Christmas? I heard on the news that there was going to be some snow heading our way, so I wanted to get this sent out as quick as possible.

You're probably wondering how I came across this, right? Well I found a shop whilst I was out and about the other day, and they sold all these different plushies. They even custom made them if you gave them a refrence, so I took in one of your pictures of Domo and gave it to them and let them worked their magic. I even had a plush of Wyraach done whilst I was there, and they made it perfect. I included a picture of it so you could see him!"

Ben's eyes looked under the block of text and saw a little plush of Peter's four winged dragon character, all details present and accounted for.

"Anyway, I hope you enjoy this little gift, and I wish you all the best over Christmas. Have a good one, and I know you'll always catch me online!

Your DA bro,

Peter"

Ben smiled as he put the letter aside, and got a good look at the small plush. A pair of antenne sprung back and forth on its head, and its big black eyes shone in the light.

"Cute." He chuckled as he placed it down next to his computer. He rested it against the comptuerscreen, and it just sat there, smiling at him. He sat down at the comptuer and turned it on, waiting for it to boot up. After a few minutes, he signed onto messenger and wanted to send a message to Peter, but saw he was not online. Instead, a message had been left for him.

"Hey Ben, I think there's something...special...about that plush I sent you. I know there was with mine, and it gave me a bit of a shock. I'm going to try to make my way to see you a little later, so just hold on till I get there, K?"

"Something special about it? And what does he mean, 'make his way here'? He'd need to travel by plane to reach me!" He said curiously as he looked at the plush. Perhaps he was just seeing things, but the smile on its face was a little wider now.

"The heck..." He said, as he gently extended a finger towards the plush...

CHOMP!!! </i>

The plush suddenly lunged forward and bit down on his index finger, relinquishing its grip after a few short seconds. A few drops of blood dripped from his fingertip as he rubbed it softly.

"Gah, what was all that about?" He said, still rubbing his finger as he stared at the plush. It just sat there, looking as innocent as ever.

"I must be working too hard..." He said as he looked away from it and looked back at his hand - where he noticed that the finger that was bitten was slowly swelling and growing, the rest of his fingers soon following suite as the nails vanished.

"T..the hell?!" He gasped as his hands grew broad and large, around twice their size now as his arms started to grow longer, slowly swelling with muscle, the sleeves of his shirt tearing open as did the rest of the arm. He noticed his skin was flaking away now, and deep blue scales were revealing themselves underneath.

"No way..." He said, looking as his shirt grew tighter, muscles swelling and expanding, his arbs becoming quite detailed as his shirt split apart, revealing a muscled chest covered in sleek, light-blue scutes. He was growing a little taller now as his spine grew and extended, a bump forming at the base of it as his shoes grew tighter.

"Am I really becoming..." He said as the shoes split open to reveal his feet, the toes fusing into three large digits as huge black claws grew from the tips, thick blue pads forming on the underside of his feet. His feet extended a little more, his stance shifting to the balls of his feet as his stance became digitgrade. He would have fallen flat on his face due to the sudden shift if his tail hadn't grown out just then, growing several feet long, flopping on the floor as scales covered its lenght.

"I..I am...I'm..." He said as his trousers tore apart to reveal his now muscular thighs. He almost turned bright red when this happened, but noticed that his personal parts were hidden beneath the large scutes.

He let out a sigh of releif at that just as the scales started to cover his thickening and lenghtening neck, starting to cover his face as his hair receded into his head. His ears shrank away as his head grew large and rounded. His jaws grew larger as his teeth grew long and sharp, becoming huge fangs, which probably aside from his clawed toes, was the only true intimidating feature on him.

His eyes grew larger, turning a deep black as they moved to the sides of his head. And to top it all off, a large pair of antenne grew from the top of his head, tipped with small black orbs as his changes finished.

"I'm...Domo..." He said, looking over himself, the true shock of the situation that just befell him had not entirely passed.

"Is this...for real?" He said, still shocked. Normally a person would try to pinch themselves awake, but with the lack of claws, he did the next best thing and bit down on one of his fingers. A sharp yelp left his mouth as he withdrew the digit.

"Yeah, this is real all right!" He said, shaking his hand as he looked back at the bplush. "I guess you had a part in this." He said to it, but all it did was smile at him. The little guy couldn't do much else apart from that.

"Maybe..maybe I should take a picture of this." He chuckled. "See what my friends on DA think about it!" He was just about to get his camera when he heard a knock at his door.

"Oh crud..." He gulped. He had no idea who it was, but he was pretty sure that they would freak out at the large blue creature that was greeting them. Nonetheless, someone was there, and he cautiously opened the door.

"Hello, can I help...you..." He said as he then fell silent at who he saw.

"Looksss like I wasss a little too late then..." The visitor said. And fromthe look of him, there was no reason why Ben wouldn't have been shocked. A tall, black and red dragon with four large wings and three tails stood before him.

"P...Please don't eat me..." Ben panicked a little, looking at the dragon.

"Eat you?" He asked confused. "Oh, you mean how I look right now!" He seemed to chuckled. "Don't worry, jussst becaussse I look like Wyraach doesssn't mean I've adopted hisss mindssset!" Ben was releived by this.

"Good...sheesh, you almost gave me a heart attack!" He chuckled back to him. "I guess you wanted to tell me something about the plush?"

"Well I could...but it would be a little redundant now." He smirked. "Anyway, I jussst flew all the way here, ssso perhapsss I could crasssh here for a few daysss?"

Ben just seemed to smile, after all that had happened to throw his evening off track, friendly company wouldn't hurt. "Sure, I was just about to make some dinner, so why not come in?"

"Thanksss bro" Peter, or rather Wyraach, smiled and stepped into the house, his tails gently whipping the ground behind him.

"Just be careful with that fire tail!" Ben laughed and closed the door behind him as the snow continued the fall.

I guess for two friends, Christmas came early.
