The blizzard just came out of nowhere and everything was hard to see or feel.
So much for walking over to the store to grab something to eat and save a little money on gas, eh? He criticizes himself. He’ll probably freeze over before he finishes his three block walk.
He looks up instead of at the ground. Mostly a whiteout with the vague outlines of the buildings and objects out
But then he notices a bright light coming from a large window ahead.
He approaches it and notices it is a cafe! When was there a cafe here? He didn’t remember one being so close.
Still, the lights were on, he could make a humanoid shape out inside, and the sign was flipped to Open so it was salvation at least!
He hurried inside, trudging heavily through the almost knee deep snow and through himself inside.
It was a small place with a few chairs and tables, a large counter with tons of menu electronic signs. It was thankfully warm.
Though, what caught his attention was the server, a reindeer lady. A very curvy reindeer with snow white hair that had two large twin drill ponytails in the back.
She looked up from the counter, adjusting her sharp glasses and smiled brightly. “Hell-loooo, dearie! Welcome to my lovely shop~.”
Lacy shivered, giving himself a hug and squeeze to warm up before approaching. “Th-thank you.”
The reindeer smiles. “My name is Cindy Snowfall~. How may I help you this fine evening?”
Lacy explains his situation about heading to a store nearby and stuff when the blizzard happened.
“Yes! It did come out of nowhere, didn’t it?” Cindy remarks. “Hmmm, tell you what! How about some hot chocolate to warm up while you wait for the blizzard to blow over?”
“Tha-than you!” That did sound very nice to him.
Cindy gets him a cup and places it before him. He pulls out his wallet, but she says it is on the house. He takes the cup, but still drops a big tip of her jar beside the register
He takes the cup over to a nearby table and sits down. Yep, still falling outside. He might be there a bit waiting for it to pass. Who knows how long it would take!
Lacy sighs and takes a nice long sip. Hmmmm! That does taste really nice
He shivers slightly, fidgeting in place. His stomach feels odd for a moment, but it fades
His stomach swells slightly, gaining a little pudge there
He licks his lips, hair quivering as if a breeze rolled through
Hair color goes from brown to a peppermint red
Lacy takes another sip to soak it in, quivering some more. So sugary, warm goodness!
Feet and toes clench, toes then feet shifting into hooves
Boots slip and fall off to fully reveal that, even showing some brown fur sprouting above the hooves and going a bit past the ankles
Lacy sighed, leaning back into the chair. This is just what he needed. He didn’t even feel cold anymore!
Another drink and hands change. Hoof fingertips, daintier hands, and fur over them
Also, some extra weight elsewhere. Some more pudgy to the stomach and in the arms and legs
He glanced over at Cindy. She seemed to be looking at him, but maybe not? It felt like she was, but she was busy wiping the counter down.
He took another drink. Narrower shoulders and slight waistline decrease. Chest almost pushes forward a bit.
He takes another drink, pondering when the weather will let up so he can get to the store
Feels a marshmallow up against his mouth, fur growing on his arms and legs.
Swallows his drink and takes another sip, taking in a marshmallow.
POOF! Tail growth!
Not aware as he quivers. Ooooh, so soft and tasty! This choco is, like, delish!
A soft giggle escapes his mouth, much to his confusion. Eyelashes grow out.
That felt odd and weird. Maybe the cold did get to him despite warming up?
Well, easy fix for that: more cocoa!
Another drink, taking in a few more of the small marshmallows in the cup. Longer, curly red hair and more fur, growing over the torso and neck now
Lacy lets out another sigh when… “Looks like you’re enjoying yourself!”
“Eep!” Lacy cries out in a cute voice, surprised to find Cindy sitting across from him
Lacy’s chest warms and expands, forming small breasts.
“Oh, Miss Cindi~!” chimed Lacy, who giggled, “Sorry! I was, like, so enjoying this drink! It’s yummy!”
“It is~!” Cindy smiled warmly. “It’s more own, special blend of chocolate and seasonal spirit! It does wonders for the soul and body~.”
Lacy nods and shivers. He feels really really good.
And his body really picks up pace. Bulge vanishes and slightly more chub
“Especially the body in this case!” Cindy winks.
“Body?” Lacy feels confused. She seems to be implying something, but what? She needs another chocolate sip!
Cindy giggles and points down as Lacy drinks.
The new lady looks down and gasps. Her clothing feels so tight as her form expands.
Wider hips and bigger booty. Breasts swell again, making themselves known in her jacket
“Oh wowsies!” Lacy gasped, “Curvy! So curvy!”
“And soft!” Cindy giggled.”
Lacy finished her drink without even thinking and pokes her belly. “Sooooooft~.”
Antlers grow and then comes her muzzle as she smiles warmly. Everything does feel nice~
“Soooo, whatcha think of my hot chocolate over all then?” Cindy asks
“Wonderful! Like, the bestest hot chocolate evar!” Lacy cheered.
“Great!” Cindy applauds. “I’m glad you liked it! I sensed you needed some and came as soon as I could!”
The reindeer sighs. “Oooh, how I wish I could spread this lovely cheer to others. It’s so hard by himself!”
Lacy twitches. “Oh oh oh! Can I help? Pretty please”
“Awwwww! You wanna help little old me warm people up and give them a nice taste of holiday spirit? You’re such a sweetie!”
“I am!” Lacy’s stomach growls. “But I am soooooo hungie!”
Cindy giggles. “Well, I have some lovely sugar cookies I can share with you! After that, we can get straight to work with bringing our joy!”
“Yay!” Lacy cheered
“Buuuuuuut, first things first! We need a lovely name for you that fits the season. You can’t work here unless you have a cute name like mine!”
“Oooooh, gotcha!” Lacy scratched her chin. “Oh, like Sugarplum?”
“Splendid!” Cindy declared, patting her head. “Welcome to my wonderful shop, Sugarplum. This will be the beginning of a lovely winter, won’t it?”
