Charlie, Rick, Tom, and Grant where on their way to a concert together when they needed to make pit stop and get some food and gas.
The four friends were in their early 20’s and had been friends for years having all graduated from the same high school.
Charlie was the Leader by default. Mostly because he was usually the smartest and most level headed of the group. He was currently single and working an entry level administrative job.
Rick was the party guy and least sober of the group. He wasn’t opposed to getting drunk or high at almost any time and was kinda known for being the burn out of the group. He loved music however and had great sense of loyalty for his friends. Currently single and working at a music store as a guitar salesmen.
Tom was the spoiled one. His parents were rich Investors and the only reason Tom even went to public school was he dropped out of private school. He cared about almost nothing except having fun. Sometimes he could come off as an arrogant jerk but deep down he was a good guy. While technically single he always has girls After him and his family money.
Grant was the shyest of the group. He was the smallest as well only being 5’6 and was really skinny. He made up for it with his quick wit and sharp tongue however. He didn’t mind proving people wrong and letting you know when something was off. He was single as well although he had been in a long term relationship that recently ended.
Pulling into Newtown Charlie was driving as they headed for the downtown area. The buildings were all nice and the town itself looked really fun. Not too big or small. He noticed many various types of shops and buildings all around.
“Not much traffic huh?” Grant said from the back seat.
“Yeah where is everyone?” Tom said looking from his phone.
“Probably headed to the concert!” Rick said with a laugh as he smoked a cigarette.
Charlie noticed it too. The town seemed empty. All the stores seemed open however...
“Let’s stop and get some food.” Charlie said taking the initiative. He parked right out front of a bakery that looked nice.
“Charlotte’s Bakery” it said outside.
“Anyone else not getting a signal?” Grant said as he noticed his phone was not getting a signal.
“Yeah me neither....” Tom said.
“Me neither...This down a dead zone?” Rick said tossing away his cigarette.
Charlie checked his phone too. Nothing...No signal at all...
Stepping inside the bakery Charlie first noticed how amazing it smelled. All the goods behind the counter looked fresh. Cupcakes, donuts, cakes, and pies. All sorts of delicious goodies were available.
“Hello?” Charlie called out to no answer. The place was empty. Save the old time jukebox that was playing really old school smooth jazz.
“Dude where is everyone? There a town meeting?” Grant said.
“I don’t like this...we should leave.” Tom said.
“Chill out guys it’s not a big deal...Besides I’m hungry....ohh....” Rick said before pausing.
On the counter was a delicious looking cupcake, red velvet with white frosting.
The music from the jukebox suddenly stopped playing as a really old times radio voice announcer suddenly began to speak.
“Welcome travelers to Newtown! The town where everyone gets to start a wonderful new life! Please feel free to explore the town and chose your new lives! Be careful though you can only choose once! Also don’t try to leave...Have fun and welcome!” The voice suddenly ended as the smooth jazz returned.
“What the hell was that?” Grant asked.
“This is gotta be a prank let’s head out.” Tom said.
“Yeah...I agree. Rick lets go.” Charlie said.
Rick however wasn’t listening...Something about that cupcake was calling to him...it was like he needed it....he had to have it!
Without much warning Rick grabbed the cupcake and devoured it rather quickly. Ever bite was amazing to him. It was by far the best cupcake he had ever had!
“What did you do?” Charlie asked as everyone yelled at him.
Their words suddenly all fell silent as they all saw something they would never forget...
Rick was changing...his short brown hair was growing rapidly own his back.
“What’s...what’s happening to me?” Rick called out as his voice cracked.
His body began to reshape rather quickly. He lost height and weight as his hips began to widen and his butt began to swell. A pair of modest but still full breasts began to erupt from his chest as his body reshaped into a soft and feminine form. His entire body had soon reshaped into that of a very attractive woman. Her clothes also changed. A pair of black pants followed by a white bakers shirt and even a cute white chefs hat appeared on her head.
“Oh my god Rick! Is that you?” Charlie called out.
“Not any more! I’m Charlotte now!” She said with an excited voice.
“What the hell just happened?” Grant said confused and scared.
“Please Rick remember who you are!” Tom said called out to his friend.
“Please...I do remember being Rick! I also remember growing up as Charlotte. I remember opening this bakery three years ago and I also remember my amazing husband Bobby and our two kids Jason and Cindy at home. I love my life! Please you guys have to join us here in Newtown!” Charlotte said.
“We have to get out of here!!” Charlie said leading his remaining friends outside.
There had to be answers to what just happened. They had to search for answers and try to get their friend back. The problem was they had no idea where to go...
