Chapter 3 grand theft locker room

“At last,” Gallus remarked. He had finally found his way back to the shower room. He figured it was an easy enough wait for enough of the traffic to die down to the men's shower room. All he had to do was sneak into the shower room and retrieve his gym bag. Thankfully, it seemed as though there was virtually nopony going in or out but that didn't tell Gallus anything about anypony already inside. A lot of time elapsed with no changes, so he figured the coast was likely clear. Carefully, he approached the entrance to the men's shower room and slipped in unnoticed. He peered around the corner of the entrance and thankfully spotted nopony in the locker room. Haste overcame him as he used his wings to speed over to his locker. Although he fumbled the key to his locker initially he got his act together and swiftly opened his locker to reveal his gym bag intact.

“Gonna be a great day at the park right?”

“Yeah came a long way to see the new Starswirl slide”

Gallus's eyes shot wide upon hearing the voices. He knew he had little time to act and looked around for somewhere, anywhere to hide. His locker seemed like an appealing hiding place. However, his claustrophobia quickly put an end to that delusion. He continued looking around the room until his eyes glanced at his hindquarters but more importantly the towel that Silverstream had tied to it. He quickly undid Silverstream's knot and unfurled the towel. With haste, he headed towards the corner of the locker room and placed the towel over his entire body. This maneuver was just under the wire as the telltale sound of hooves clopping against the tiles of the room echoed in Gallus's ears. The stallions talked but Gallus paid little heed to what they were saying. Gallus was more focused on not moving lest he be discovered. Time seemed to drop to a snails' pace for Gallus, just like a long boring lecture Twilight was giving on friendship back when she was headmare. Twilight's lectures... Gallus's mind started wandering back to that lecture hall and one of Twilight's speeches on friendship.

Gallus sat in the front row that day, Ocellus by his side reading a book or so Ocellus would have you believe. In fact Gallus observed the fact that she was looking at the ponies around her. Yet somehow her gaze always seemed to drift in his direction. It was unusual to be sure but maybe Gallus was merely seeing things that weren't there. Either way Twilight was lecturing on friendship, and Gallus had to at least pay some attention.

“Remember everycreature, if you're having a problem no matter how huge it might be your best friends will always be there for you. Now remember that your kindness essays, and we'll be having Cadence as a special guest speaker on love next week. I expect you all to be on your best behavior.”
Gallus could feel it, Twilight's eyes on him. “Did you get that Gallus?”

Gallus arose from his stupor. Yes, he was paying attention, but he had an image to maintain. So he just said, “Sorry professor Twilight, I'll do better I promise.”

Twilight meanwhile just shot him a sly grin. Gallus could tell Twilight had long since seen through his ruse of being a bad student but for some reason was more than willing to play along. “Right, but I'm going giving you a quiz at the end of class on believing in your friends.”

Gallus was snapped out of his flashback by the realization that the hoof-beats of the stallions in the changing room had all but vanished. Cautiously, Gallus poked his head out from under the towel to once more find the locker room completely empty. Gallus practically bolted back to his locker and unlocked it again to snatch his gym bag out of his locker. With a flash, he escaped the shower room and just in time as five very obnoxious stallions went in immediately after him. He started leaving the area when the weight of the bag started getting to him. In that moment he remembered why he always left this bag in a secure place whenever he traveled. He couldn't just put it back in the locker though. It was enough of a hassle to get it out in the first place. However, his eyes soon drifted rightward and fell on the shower room for women. Gallus blushed, although the prospect of stowing his bag in the women's room just screamed awkward he knew he had little choice. Also if he changed back by the end of the day, he could always get Silverstream to get his stuff. Cautiously he walked into the women's locker room.

The interior of the women's locker room was effectively identical to that of the men's only less damage overall to the structure. What truly caught Gallus's eye was the full-length mirror next to the shower area. Gallus looked around nervously, just like the men's room the women's was completely deserted and yet Gallus felt even more on edge in here. Despite the fact he clearly had the parts necessary to be there he nevertheless felt like an intruder treading where he didn't belong. He scanned the lockers and thankfully found one with a key still in it. When he had arrived at the park, the park attendant said a vacant locker would always be marked by a key being in the slot of a locker.

At that point, Gallus remembered he still had the key to his former locker in the men's room. At first Gallus was nervous that he'd have to sneak into the shower room again to put the key back. Thankfully, he remembered that the had tracking spells on them. So he tossed his old key aside, confident that the magic would eventually return the key to the front desk. He turned his attention to his new locker and used the key to open it. He raided his hidden bit stash in the before putting the bag in and shutting the door. Gallus was about to leave when he remembered the park policy of taking a shower before going out in the park. Gallus groaned and returned into the locker room and headed for the shower area.

He flipped on the water and started washing himself off. As Gallus started washing himself he realized that more was different than his genitals. His ass was the most noticeable of these recent changes, which was once fairly slender and lean was now round and squishy. He also realized just how soft his coat was as opposed to its typical coarseness. Soon enough he was good and soggy for the park and turned the water flow off. On the way out though he caught a glimpse of himself in the full-length mirror. He decided to take an assessment of the damage. Surprisingly enough he still looked a lot like himself aside from his ass sticking out more than usual. Then again only he'd likely only notice his ass sticking out because he was expecting it to be different. Gallus turned so that his hindquarters were facing the mirror. His penis was still just as absent as they were when Silverstream detected his new privates.

However, Gallus caught a glimpse of something just below his pussy. He walked over to a bench in the locker room and sat on it to look down at his stomach. Directly above his pussy he saw four protrusions of pink skin sticking out of his fur. Gallus knew these were teats. Male gryphons have four nipples around their crotch, but you almost never see them because they're so short and small they never show past all the fur. Gallus was transforming; however, and it seemed that his nipples had expanded in both diameter and height to such a point that they poked out of his fur. Gallus blushed, this was the first time he had seriously seen a woman's private parts this close up before.

Tentatively he reached for his pussy, somewhat curious as to what it would actually feel like. He quickly snapped his hand back as he made bodily contact with his new feminine genitals. The feeling of the pussy wasn't what set him off but the bizarre jolt of a pleasurable sensation that shot up his spine when he caressed it. Gallus blushed, he had felt something similar every time he anticipated a good jerk off session but it was nowhere near as intense as what he just felt. His arousal and curiosity only grew, though Gallus knew he had to stop this feminine erection from coming, he just wasn't ready for this yet. He thought long and hard about grampa gruff and slowly but steadily his arousal faded away. Gallus returned to the mirror and checked himself over. He reasoned to himself that he could still pass for a man with his friends if only he concealed his ass and genitals. Silverstream's towel solution wouldn't work forever, not to mention the fact that he had accidentally left that towel in the men's locker room.

“Hmm it is possible some swim trunks will do the trick.”
