    Pluto had been thinking during the night, as he often did, and an idea occurred to him. If everyone else could switch their bodies why couldn't he? It seemed like a simple concept, perhaps he could switch into a different lion cub form that didn't have stubby legs. Yes, that was a great idea! The scholar pulled the blankets off of him and sneaked outside, careful to keep his pawsteps light.

    "Okay Pluto you got this. Maybe just try and think about being something else? Well I probably should try being a normal lion cub like Alice, think about how she looks body type wise and remember that I am a guy. I don't want to accidentally make myself a girl.." There was nothing wrong with being a girl but Pluto felt that he was a guy through and through. He wanted to preferably stay that way physically. The testing went on into early morning and Pluto was quite tired by then, falling asleep on the grass in the backyard.


    What he didn't know was that during his sleep he had changed, and not in a good way. He had become a domestic in the midst of things but one thing that stayed the same was the heart-like birthmark that was on his nose. That...and the fact that he had dwarfism.


    Pluto had become a munchkin.

  • The box kept Vader unaware of the boy sneaking out- besides, he was having a weird dream involving red jellyfish. When the morning came, Vader pulled down his mask, and noticed the cub missing. He figured that the boy had gotten up before him, but Vader normally woke at dawn.


    Something wasn't right.


    He moved outside, calling out, "Pluto?" And investigating, searching for the child's weak Force signature. Pluto's was normally easy to pick out- as long as it wasn't being overlapped by a stronger signature, like Luke or Almir. Otherwise, Vader normally could find him by scanning for the emotions of utter disappointment and mental fatigue.


    And now it was.... muddled. Cloudy. "Pluto?"

    At the sound of his father's voice and breathing the male got up and stretched. Being so groggy he didn't realize his level of sight had gotten shorter and went to smooth out his fur as he often did in the mornings. "I'm over here dad. Got up early and must've dozed off practicing magic. Nothing to worry about I was up about an hour before sunrise." He said, trying to make sure he didn't have any cowlicks or stray hairs of that sort.

  • Poppykit did not understand how powers worked or why they where even a thing, but she especially wondered why exactly anyone would want to shapeshift all the time? But as long as she did not have to deal that nonsense herself, she could give less of a crap if anyone else did it. She heard Vader calling out for his son and decided to come over to investigate what was going on, being the nosy kid she was. That's when she heard and saw munchkin Pluto talking with his father. She quickly stepped back, giving a huge amount of space between herself and the family. Vader had that lion superiority thing going on, so Poppykit could only imagine how furious he'd be once he realized what happened. Vader is a volcano ready to erupt at any minute right now. She should have turned around and left then and there but she was intrigued. It was like watching a massive car wreck too horrible to look away from out of curiousity.



  • Padmè had remembered her domestic form. The one that she was originally reincarnated into before she had met Vader again. The one where he had called her a liar, and had tried to kill her. So it was strange to see what looked like her son in a domestic body. "Pluto? Did you mean to become a domestic?" There was nothing wrong with being a domestic cat, in fact Padmè thought her son looked adorably tiny. Had she known he had just wanted to become a bigger lion, she might cry. It was because of her small stature that he was so small,
    Combined with the fact he was the runt.

  • [center]- - - - -[fancypost=bgcolor=; border:0; width:450px; text-align:justify; font-size:10px; line-height:1.5]If it hadn't been for her clanmates addressing the munchkin, Alice might have mistaken the feline for an intruder. On closer inspection, it was indeed Pluto - his characteristic heart mark on his nose had come along in this form, too. She was confused however - first of all, how on earth had he managed to change his form, and not notice? Or if he had noticed, and second of all, wasn't he upset with his short height as it was? This body of his was now smaller than even the average domestic cat. Had her brother had a change of heart all of a sudden? That didn't sound right. "How did you..? Why..?" she attempted to voice her concerns, but trailed off, astounded by the strange situation.

    The munchkin stopped mid-lick at his mother's words, looking down at his now white paw. He jumped back, now seeing his height and ran in a circle trying to get a better look at himself. Once he did he stopped, looking as shocked as his sister but for a far different reason. "N-No mom...I didn't I just thought....I thought I could make my legs like Alice's...that I could make them normal.." Pluto looked like he wanted to break down right there, he had failed and even worse he wasn't a lion anymore. His father had told him to wear the name with pride but now here he was as...as this thing and he didn't know if he could change back.

  • Padmè would pull her son towards her with her tail, pulling him into a careful embrace. "Hey, it's okay. I'll help you figure this out. I had a domestic body for awhile, it's not that bad." She said softly. "Pluto, you're perfect the way you are. I am so proud of you, and I love you the same with short legs as I love your siblings for their qualities."

    For a long, uncomfortable moment, Vader did not say a word. Images of a she-cat are flashing in his mind, his hands are slowly clenching- "You are not my wife. You are not a lion. And you are my enemy, understand?" He figures, Pluto gained the shapeshifting power from his mother. Vader himself was unable to do that- he could only transfer bodies.


    Finally, he settles on his four legs, knuckles buried in the earth. "...I do not believe you." He finally says, denying what's in front of his face, and with an edge of strain in his tone. "My son is a lion." He turns away, his back to the group, to his wife, to his children.
    "Because any child of mine knows shapeshifting is a power reserved for the cowardly, and weak- who believe their true form will never cut it." It was too early to deal with this, and Vader's patience was warily thin. He hated shapeshifting- and now his children bore the power? Disgraceful.

    "Dad?..." The child looked up from his mother's arms at his father's soon to be retreating figure, eyes wide with fear. He slipped out from his mother's grasp and began to run over to him, tears slipping down his face. "No dad wait! Wait please I can change back I can change!" The child shut his eyes defiantly, trying to get his body to go back to the way it was before, his back arching to the point where it was painful. 'No no please let me go back! I didn't want this, I didn't want any of this I just wanted to be a better son!'

  • It was interesting to see the dynamic of Vader and Pluto's mother. Poppykit had never met Padme before, but she seemed awful nice. How did someone so sweet and motherly end up with a guy like him? The thought made the child grimace, figuring the family was even more dysfunctional then she previously imagined. She supposed it was one plus of not having a family. One very small plus, that is. It still sucked seeing other kids with moms and dads when she had none anymore. Poppykit did not care about powers, but she hated that they were treating domestics as something disgraceful. Especially since she was one herself. It caused her lip to curl slightly, watching the scene unfold in silent disgust but too curious to look away for the time being. Shit was getting real, real fast.

    The lion stops, standing still, his back still faced towards Pluto. For a while, the only noise he makes is the hollow, slow breathing. He feels a weight on his shoulders, and the Emperor's voice in his ears- "A sith is not forgiving, Lord Vader. A Sith is not kind." He said nothing, for a long moment. "Every time I go on the battlefield, I see cats and dog turn into dragons or monsters and bigger versions of themselves. I see a Frankenstein creature like Dystopia, a creature with mixed parts- a lioness with a mane, and I feel second-hand shame and disgust." He says, his head tilting slightly upward. "Creatures that use shapeshifting regularly, to cheat at death and responsibilities, to become something they are not, to reach an illusion of a better self... Are cowards. And creatures that feel they must become a dragon or a rhino to gain the advantage, are unworthy of victory. They are hiding their weakness and poor skills behind a dragon."


    "You did not need to change yourself, Pluto. You have to accept what you were made as. You must overcome the flaws, not cover them up and walk around it." Vader never turned his back. As if the boy was unworthy of his gaze.

    He didn't want to hear anymore, he was even more of a disappointment than when he began. The male opened his eyes, an unknown emotion in his eyes before he bolted. A streak of white passing the lion by before disappearing into the morning fog. 'Disappointment, a disgrace to your family name. And you called yourself his son, how pathetic. Your no better than someone from the exiles, no better than those vile creatures who you saw that day with Almir.'

  • "I will never be enough for you then, will I? You shame our son for shapeshifting, and you shame your wife too. Must I remind you I was not a lioness originally? I am disappointed in you." Padmè said with disgust and contempt in her voice. She would turn with a flick of her tail and leave.

  • [center]- - - - -[fancypost=bgcolor=; border:0; width:450px; text-align:justify; font-size:10px; line-height:1.5]The child's head hung lower and lower by the second. She thought they'd been tightly knit - was this all it took to tear them apart? Were their relationships that delicate? Yet as the girl was overwhelmed by cold fear and shock, there was a fire building in her chest, and as soon as the heat reached her head she snapped. "Stop it! Just stop!" Alice screamed, feeling every muscle in her body tensing. She froze, a brief melancholy causing her eyes to well up, but blinked back tears fiercely. Not now. "He didn't mean to! Pluto is not a coward!" she continued, tail lashing. She wasn't like this. She wasn't used to this; dealing with these emotions. Dealing with emotions in general. As fragile as their family seemed to be, her emotional state was glass on a tightrope. The slightest push and she would crack - it was miraculous this hadn't occurred before. At the moment, it seemed her anger was towards Vader - much like everyone else's. Laying the blame on someone else was relieving; though her fear and fire was consuming common sense, and she couldn't stop. "He was trying to make you proud! You've just made everything worse!" The young lioness took a breath that seemed to cool her mind, and panicked. Now she was in for it. The girl glanced at her mother desperately, hostility vanished, and darted after her brother. She had to fix this. Pluto first, and then she'd undo her own words.
