"Wakey, wakey, sleepyhead!" Alice said, tapping her hand on the dog crate I was sleeping in. "It's time to get you to the store and 'in costume'!" She cheerily opened the dog crate and placed a bowl of food in front of me.
"Come on, eat up!" Alice said, a mischievous grin appearing on her face. "Or else I'll just have to take you back to the store for walkies."
Knowing Alice meant business, I wasted no more time and quickly scarfed down the food. It seemed to be canned tuna, Judging from the taste, it was originally packaged in sunflower oil, making it more easily edible. As I was carelessly eating, I noticed an all-familiar 'crunch' in one of my bites.
"There you go. Good puppy," Alice responded in puppy talk. "Now swallow your medicine like a good dog."
Flushed, I did as Alice commanded and swallowed the pill she had mixed with my 'breakfast'.
"Good pup," Alice said. She walked into the kitchen and filled a bowl with water for me to drink, and placed it in front of the crate. "Now all that's left is for you to drink like a pet and then you're free... well, temporarily, at least," she chuckled.
I finished my food and tried to scoop some water in my mouth with my tongue as an animal would, but it felt so ineffective that I instead brought my mouth closer to the water and just slurped it down instead.
"I'm disappointed, but you have a point. We don't have all day," Alice admitted. "We need to get you ready for Tyler, after all!"
Alice hurried me out of the crate and undid my remaining puppy gear, which she then brought away, before returning with my clothes.
"Enjoy the feeling of your own clothes, while it lasts," Alice laughed. "I'll clean your puppy gear later when you're with Tyler."
After getting dressed, Alice walked me back to Wonderland. Most of the walk was peaceful, though, Alice did verbally tease me a couple of times along the way, describing in different ways how Tyler could use me, and how I would have to do my best to not let Tyler notice his doll was not actually a doll, but his friend, Sam.
Arriving at Wonderland, Alice rushed me inside and locked the door behind her. "Employees' room. Now. You know the drill," she said with a commanding voice.
I walked ahead and entered the employees' room, but Alice did not follow. I assumed she was taking care of other matters and started undressing.
A few minutes later, Alice arrived. She brought the empty doll box and the schoolgirl outfit she had dressed me in the week before, including the doll headpiece.
"I will still do your make-up," Alice said. "It'll help you get in the right mindset, even if Tyler won't get to see it himself." She eyed my naked body up and down. "Those pills are doing wonders on your body," Alice said. "I knew it said this medication was experimental but effective, but this is on a whole new level! You're looking so much more feminine than when you first entered Wonderland. I absolutely love it."
I blushed. Alice knew just what to say to compliment yet fluster me at the same time.
"Hey!" Alice interrupted. "This is not the time to stare at the ground and blush. I need you looking straight forwards so I can doll up that face of yours."
I still felt teased, and struggled with regaining control over my facial expressions as Alice covered my face in foundation, concealer, and highlights before moving on to eyeliner, eyeshadow, and lipstick.
"I know I could still do some things for your eyebrows and eyelashes, but you'll wear the mask anyway," Alice said. "I mainly just wanted to apply the doll colors to your face, so this is good enough for me."
Alice showed my reflection in a hand-held mirror. With the doll's head next to me, it was clear where she got her inspiration from. The very first time she did my make-up, Alice had only thought about the doll head after she had already finished, so there was not much resemblance. But this time, it felt as if the doll's head was already on my head. It was uncanny and uncomfortable, yet also amazing. I would never have imagined my face could ever look so doll-like.
Thankfully, the employees' room was pleasantly warm. As Alice decided to work on my make-up before allowing me to get dressed, making comments along the way about how my body looked softer and more feminine, and how I had already started to form boobs, giggling as she touched and poked them.
After finishing with the make-up and teasing comments, Alice told me to get dressed and assisted where needed. After 'we' had finished the entire look, she placed the doll's head over my head.
"I had a custom model made," Alice said proudly. "This model's head is closer to your shape so that the mouth and eyes line up pretty much perfectly. It even stretches and bends in ways so that your face underneath the head will never be visible.
"But what about my mouth and tongue and all that?" I asked sheepishly.
