“You there! Yes you! Come, come over here for a moment!”

Aiko paused, this wasn’t the first time she had been approached at an anime convention. Usually it was someone wanting a photo of her, occasionally it was a fan or friend, and while rare there was always the potential of a creepy, smelly guy who wanted her number.

But this, this was different. A vendor in the marketplace was calling her over and while his booth didn’t look extraordinary the girl was immediately suspicious of his intentions. 

“No need to give me that look! I’m not going to sell you anything. Just a moment of your time please!”

Well, there was about half an hour until the next show and it’s not like she was doing anything in particular other than burning time. Cautiously she walked to his table as he smiled wider.

“You, young lady, look to be an individual of exceptional tastes!” Was he commenting on her clothing? Lots of people seemed to like her outfit. It was definitely within the lolita genre but she had taken aspects of both gothic and royal components when designing it.

She had mostly made it herself, custom-fitted each part of the dark purple dress to her exact measurements. Even her hair had been pain-stakingly grown out and then meticulously curled, though no one believed that the vivid pink was her natural hair colour. Wigs were cheating as far as she was concerned. 

Only the platform shoes were purchased but Aiko had also taken the effort to paint them so that they matched the rest of her ensemble.

“How do you feel about… rabbits?”

“Huh”? That was a pretty random question. Especially considering that there wasn’t even anything remotely bunny related at his little booth. Actually upon closer inspection there actually wasn’t anything there except for a plain tablecloth. What exactly was he selling here? How did this guy even get a permit? And why was no one else taking notice?

“There’s no need to be alarmed, miss.” It was like he knew she was suspicious. Every fibre in Aiko’s body was screaming at her to run away, maybe call security. But the instant he pulled out the bunny ears she stopped herself from leaving.

“Would you like to try them on? I’m certain that they would look… Quite dashing on you.” He flashed a smile filled with teeth that were just a little bit too white. He pushed them towards her on the tablecloth.

Nervously she picked them up, though she wasn’t sure why she was so uncertain. They looked fairly ordinary to be honest. Perhaps it was the fact that the fur on them perfectly matched the shade of pink of her hair.

“Go on. Don’t be shy…” He was intently watching her every movement and honestly it was kind of pissing her off.

“Fine. I’m not doing this for you. I’m doing this because I want to see how this would look with my current outfit.” The vendor said nothing but his smile turned to a smirk when Aiko finally plopped the ears onto her head.

To be honest, she felt a bit goofy. Like, this is the kind of stuff little kids wore for like, Halloween or something. And yet, she couldn’t deny wanting to see how they looked on her. Her heart was racing, was a simple rabbit accessory all it took to get her excited?

“If you like, I do have a mirror in the changing room behind me where you can get a better look.” There was that smile again. It had grown wider since Aiko agreed to do this and if he smiled any harder his face might rip in half.

There was that nagging thought again, that something wasn’t quite right. Part of her wanting to rip the ears off and throw it in his stupid face. But the other part, the other part desperately wanted to see if she was as cute as she thought she looked.

In the end, her need to know won out and with a wave, the man escorted her behind his table and to a surprisingly roomy tented area.

As promised, the aforementioned mirror was there and thankfully he left her alone as soon as she entered. Aiko took a moment to examine herself in the full-length mirror that was available. Just as she suspected, she was cute. The way that the ears popped over her hair curls was a nice touch but it unfortunately didn’t match the rest of her attire.

“Knock knock, may I enter?” She nearly had a heart attack as the man popped his head in, “Mmm… They do look nice on you. But you know, I think you need a little something to… Bring it all together.”

She was about to slap him when he suddenly produced a skin-tight black suit. “Try this on, I’m sure it’ll fit. And I’m even more sure that it’ll really make those ears… pop. If you know what I mean.”

Something was definitely wrong now. If there was ever a time to run away and not look back this was it. But Aiko had to know. She just had to see what she’d look like with those ears in more appropriate clothing. 

Wordlessly she snatched the costume out from his hands and he slinked away back to his dinky booth. When she was certain he wasn’t going to peep on her, she quickly undressed and slipped the bunny suit on. Honestly it felt more like lingerie given how sheer the tights were, how much emphasis was placed on her breasts, and how there wasn’t any material on her completely exposed tummy.

Aiko returned to the mirror and looked at her reflection. She wasn’t just a little bit cute, she was outright sexy. She couldn’t help but twist and turn, admiring how the bodysuit hugged every part of her body and accentuated her chest. It was a little odd that she was barefoot and there was a little hole where a tail should have been but otherwise she looked really, really hot.

“I see that you’re enjoying your new outfit!” The vendor approached from behind and ran his hand from her shin all the way to her tailbone. She should have felt repulsed and screamed for help, but she didn’t. If anything, she pushed back against his spindly hands.

And while he repeated the process to her other leg she felt a tingle in the first foot. She stared down as fur as pink as her hair sprouted out across the back of her foot. Though it wasn’t really a foot anymore, the shape had changed. 

Now would be an excellent time to begin panicking. Was this even real? Had she been drugged? Was she dreaming? How could she be so calm while this creepy old guy touched her all over while her body was literally changing before her eyes? The second “foot” was now growing fur at an alarming pace.

He gave her butt a slight tap and moved to hold her hands. “You’re doing just fine my Dear! You’re going to make a lot of people very happy. Isn’t that a good thing?”

Aiko didn’t respond, and instead wiggled her new furry pink toes. They looked like paws now, as if she was wearing part of an animal costume. She could feel something popping up from above her butt, a little tuft had poked out of the hole in the suit.

Her heart was racing, and it wasn’t due to fear or even worry. She was excited and there was a tingling in her belly. The man was right, making as many people happy as possible was a good thing, but how would be the best way to do it?

The vendor smiled as he rubbed her head. “Maybe you should tell me what you think would be appealing? I’d rather not force you to do something you didn’t want to do.” Aiko could feel his breath rolling across her neck and her heart began to race.

“W-what do you th-think I should be doing…?” The pink fur was spreading up to her forearms and her hands were becoming paws like her feet. They were soft and warm to the touch and in her belly there was an ache, as if something was missing.

Maybe it was the energy just racing through her body but she was finding it difficult to even stand still now. Aiko was hopping from one foot to the other, bouncing up and down. And when something big and floppy whacked her in the face she was pushed back in front of the mirror.

Old Aiko would have been horrified but this was New Aiko. She was absolutely delighted by the new set of giant, pink floppy ears that now adorned her head and could now confirm that her feet and hands were paws.

“I’m, I’m a Bunny Girl now!” Aiko twisted to see herself from behind and above her butt was a little wiggling tail.

“Yes, yes you are. And what a lovely specimen you are…” His hands were traveling all across her body now and every time he touched bare skin it set electric shivers up and down her spine. She didn’t even care when the man traced his fingers across her tummy or when he cupped her perky breasts from behind.

“You’re going to be a good little Bunny Girl and help me out. We’re going to help lots of people out. Won’t that be nice?” He was leading her out of the change room now, out into the open market where everyone could soon see her.

And she couldn’t wait to be on display with everyone’s eyes on her.

“BEHOLD, OUR HUMBLE CONVENTION’S LATEST ATTRACTION: AIKO THE BUNNY GIRL!”

With a flourish he threw open the curtains as Aiko found herself in front of a massive crowd, full of adoring eyes and camera flashes. She didn’t even care to know how the man knew her name, all she wanted to do was wave and smile for the excited attendees.

Without any hesitation she was deep into the swarm. Posing for photos, wrapping herself onto anyone, and the odd lucky person even got pecked on the cheek.

“BUT THAT’S NOT ALL MS. AIKO CAN DO FOR YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS.” Everyone turned their eyes to the vendor who was now gesturing to the energetic bunny girl. “AS I’M SURE ALL OF YOU KNOW, RABBITS ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR PRODIGIOUS MATING CAPACITIES.”

There was that tingle in her belly again as she felt the energy in the crowd shift as the realization dawned upon them. Her breathing became ragged as she scanned the people around her, who would be first, and then next? Would they come in groups? She secretly hoped that there would be multiple at the same time.

“DO WE HAVE ANY TAKERS? WHO WOULD LIKE TO BE FIRST?”

The booth was nearly crushed by the horde of bodies rushing to spend a bit of quality time with the adoring new Bunny Girl. As the vendor processed the transactions as efficiently as he could Aiko could feel the staring eyes become groping hands. Just as before she relished their touch no matter where they ended up.

Seconds later Aiko was pulled back into the former changeroom with what she presumed to be the first of many visitors. In the span of a few minutes there was now a comfortable looking bed for them to use. She could hear him struggling to control his breathing and his hands could not stop touching her tail and butt. 

But more importantly was her own heart which seemed to want to explode out of her chest. She turned around to face her guest and caught the eye of the man behind the booth giving her a wink as he closed the curtain.
