Strange 24 Hours

The two dogs looked equally confused; at least until that scent reached their noses. It was Katelynn, of course, and Stella was first upon her, sniffing and ‘dancing’ around her feet at her return whilst Roxy remained close to Jack.

Who, for the better use of the word, was staring at this blue skinned woman with brown eyes.

The voice was familiar. So were her eyes.

“…K-Katelynn?” Jack asked weakly. “Is that you…?”

She stared at him a moment, looking into familiar green eyes and for a moment the visage of a blue skinned man overlapped the dark skinned one standing in front of her.

Taking a cautious step forward, she reached a tentative hand out to touch his cheek.

“Jack..? You changed too..?” she whispered, eyes roaming over his different, but still handsome, features. She hardly noticed Stella at her feet whose tongue was lolling out, her paws on her legs trying to get her attention.

He let her touch his face, his eye still searching her brown ones, but he already knew who it was. How could he not? Even with the blue skin, and the large head, as well as those pointed ears… he knew who this was.

Smiling weakly, he tilts his head into her touch and lifts a hand to cover hers against his cheek, shutting his eyes. “Seems as though they like to change us at the same time, d-don’t they?” he asked, opening his eyes again to look at her.

“Wow just…” he pulls her hand away, lets go, so he can touch her blue cheek. “look at you… you look so different y-yet you’re still so beautiful…!” though he did miss her hair a little.
