Jenny was going through just another day at Mount Hope where she went to school. The coach was having all of the cheerleaders run all afternoon in order to get them in shape for the big game in a week. Her only problem was that she lacked a pair of sneakers to protect her paws. She had to figure something out, and the coach would never let her sit it out.

Jenny frowned as she looked at the clock. She had a half hour to figure something out. She went to her locker where there was a small box sitting on her books. The box had come from a local store downtown where someone had promised it would give her some amazing running shoes. He said she'd need some friends to use them on, but it wouldn't hurt them. The store owner had suggested they might even enjoy it.

Opening the box, she saw a pair of patches, one shaped like a right foot, and one shaped like a left. She held them in her hands and shrugged. "This is supposed to give me shoes?" Jenny raised an eyebrow.

Lauren and Topaz walked in, having just come back from gym class. The zebra waved at Jenny and smiled. "Hey, Jenny."

Topaz wiped her forehead with a towel. "It's hot outside."

Jenny looked at her friends. "Hey, girls. I've got a problem, and I was wondering if you could help me out."

"Sure, Jenny, we'll do anything for you." Lauren said.

"Good, because..." Jenny didn't finish her sentence. She slapped the patches on their backs.

Lauren turned around in confusion. "What was..." She touched her forehead and suddenly realized her mouth was sealing shut. Unable to speak, she no sooner had tried to sit down when she realized Topaz was suffering a similar condition. The two landed on their chests, with their bodies flattening out before curling backwards. Both girls chests changed into rubber while their arms and legs became a leather like material with their hair changing into shoelaces.

A moment later, where there was once a zebra and a siamese cat, now there was a perfectly matched pair of sneakers. One was red and yellow with brown and cream colors, and the other was black and brown with stripes and a blue triangle on each side.

It was easy to tell which one was Lauren and which one was Topaz. Jenny stood there in disbelief for a moment, before her coach came in. "Jenny, get your ass out on the field, now!"

"I..."

"Those your sneakers?" The coach barked.

"Yes."

"Put em on and get out there!" She left, and Jenny shrugged. She slipped each paw inside the sneakers and tied them. As she did, she felt the sneaker squeeze her foot.

"What's that?" Jenny asked.

The other sneaker squeezed as well, and then she could hear their thoughts. They were unharmed, but confused.

"Lauren, Topaz, I'm sorry, but I really need a pair of sneakers right now! I'll make it up to you when this wears off in..." She read the instructions. "A week? Oh, wow. That's longer than I thought." She felt bad for another moment, but then a smirk crossed her face. "You know, since these do feel really comfortable, I'll wear you all week, and not take you off once. My paws get really sweaty when I run, and I'll wear you in the mud, in the shower, in bed, maybe even while having sex...."

Lauren and Topaz squeezed her feet in protest, but Jenny had already started running with her teammates... It would be a long week.
