As I toss and turn in my sleep, I slowly become aware of something soft and furry nuzzling my face. Nugget. I slowly blink my eyes open. The little buttmunch is right up in my face so that he looks huge. This is my normal morning routine. Only... Nugget backs away and is still huge. What? I look up and everything about my room is off: the pillow is four times the size of my body, the desk looks like an impossible mountain to climb and my sheets seem to drown me. I reach my hand out, only I can't seem to bring it in front of my face. Huh? I swivel my head around only to find myself staring at my behind. My furry behind. With a tail. I scream in surprise, only it comes out as a soft squeak. I can't seem to find my words.
Nugget prances back over to me and jumps on top of me excitedly.
"Mom!"
Who in the what now? Who was that?
"MOOOOM. Get up! Let's play!"
Nugget is...talking to me?
I take another look down at my body: long, lanky torso, short hands and feet, and a long straight tail.
I'M A FERRET! Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! Goddess be praised, I'm a ferret.
I jump and twist in the air, voicing my excitement. Nugget and I bound around my room, bumping into each other, knocking things over and generally being ferrets.
Molly hears the commotion and opens my door.
"Are you freaking kidding me?" Nugget and I laugh before running out the door between her feet. Molly sighs and swears under her breath before chasing after us.

After a day of funny antics, Molly lays down on her bed and Nugget and I curl up around her, settling down into sweet ferret dreams.
