Betty rushed into the office and closed the door behind her. Dr. Neville looked up from her desk and wasn't too surprised to see her.
"We do not have an appointment, Betty. Boundaries are essential."
"I don't have time to wait for an open hour. There's no one here, let's just talk."
"This is my lunch break."
"It's fucking stressful out there. I'm so scared about this flu all the time and I need something to, like, prevent it or make me immune."
"If there was a cure, you would have heard about it at this point. Now, while it is uncomfortable, it is not deadly. Just take necessary precaution."
Betty's face winced. She ran her hands through her curly red hair in an attempt to ease her nerves. "There has to be something you can give me."
Dr. Neville pushed her glasses up her nose. "Why do you need something?"
"It wasn't fair. I didn't know even know her. We were just on the bus; I couldn't help myself."
Dr. Neville reached for the phone on her desk, but Betty ripped it away, disconnecting the cords.
"Betty, when did this happen?"
"It feels so weird, Dr. Neville. There has to be something."
"You know what to do. It only last 48 hours or unless you transfer it twice."
"I can't wait that long, Dr. Neville."
"Betty, when were you infected?"
"That's not why I came in here, I promise, Dr. Neville. Ohhhhhhh, this always feels so good. Why is this so good..." Betty started to rub her breasts. She was wearing a light green top alongside a maxi skirt. As Betty started to put her hands on her chest, Dr. Neville could see a stronger outline of her breasts. At first they easily fit in her palms, but then they seemed to be expanding. Betty leaned forward as a reaction to the new weight.
Dr. Neville had her hand on her cell phone, but couldn't bring herself to open it. She knew her chances were small at this point. Betty was infected and it was the goal of the infection to spread. She didn't notice at first, but her office was filled with Betty's pheromones. All she had to do was avoid making out with Betty and she would be fine.
Dr. Neville cautiously stood up, presumably to lead Betty out of the office. Betty grabbed the chair facing the desk and pulled it towards the door. She sat down, slightly panting, and stared at Dr. Neville. She gripped the sides of the chair with all of her strength.
Betty's pale legs started to have a little light on them as they turned into a summer shade of yellow. Dr. Neville saw that Betty wasn't wearing any underwear; she knew what could happen today. Betty's legs were like twigs, but her thighs started to slowly pulse and gaining definition.
Weeks ago, out of medical curiosity of course, Dr. Neville had found videos online of people documenting their transformation. It was surreal to see it occur just feet away from her. Dr. Neville sat on the edge of her desk, unaware she was slowly rubbing herself above her pantsuit.
Betty's legs started to wobble as they started to lose their traditional bone structure. In a snap, they quickly melded into each other. Betty let out an involuntary moan as it happened. She lifted herself up slightly so she stopped sitting on her skirt and she dropped it to the floor. While expanding her waist, scales started to appear a few inches below her belly button. Yellow scales started to spiral around her body. It was only visible for a second but while there was still flesh, Dr. Neville saw a vaginal opening before the spiral of scales hid it from view.
Betty tried to hold back her heavy breathing, but it became more audible as her leg lengthened and a tailfin opened like a flower exposing its petals for the sun. Betty opened her eyes and without even looking at her tail, she stared right at Dr. Neville.
Dr. Neville fought to compose herself. "You having the tail out isn't necessary to spread the flu."
"Okay."
"It's just the exchange of saliva. You don't even need to unleash the pheromones. It's stronger if you do and, obviously, it's stronger when you...you change."
Betty kept her eye contact but her tail twitched a little causing a notable sound when the tail fin smacked the floor.
