The Werebelushi's Best Pal.
Were-Aykroyd TF.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Nathaniel L. Forester was what was known as a child of darkness, he was a horror Youtuber and former parodist with a love of monsters, ever since he could recall being  a fan of shows like Tales From The Darkside, Tales From The Crypt, Goosebumps and Are You Afraid Of The Dark. He had long brown hair and was dressed in a dark purple top and jeans with the former having a vampiric bat-face insignia on the front, he had dark makeup around his eyes which was a emulation of singers like Ozzy Osborne and Alice Cooper and had fingernail extensions that resembled claws,  he always thought the idea of having claws and/or fangs was awesome and always wanted to have some of his own,  he had recently subscribed to a Youtube channel titled 'Werebelushi Rants' hosted by his idol Matthias T.Radke/That Werebelushi In The Shades.  'Werebelushi In Shades is awesome, I wish I had powers like his and everything.'  He was watching  the latest episode which featured the Werebelushi ranting about CGI monsters and he found himself in complete agreement with him.  That evening he decided to have Matthias come over to his place.

Matthias/Werebelushi arrived there within seconds and he sat himself down, the sarcastic John Belushi lookalike with fur seemed eager to know what Nathaniel had summoned him here for.  'So what is it you called me over for?'  'Well...this may seem like an awkward thing to ask, but I have a fascination for horror and I...' 'What is it?'  'There's no easy to way to put this,  I want to have powers.'  'Powers? As in supernatural powers?' 'Yeah, I want to be a were-celeb like you are.'  'Are you sure? I mean this isn't what it's cracked up to me.' 'It sounds like fun to me.'

"Well if you're sure."

"Yeah,  I want to be able to help you fight off those villains and monsters that show up in your show every week.  I want to have powers.  It's been my dream and i'd like you to make it come true for me, please?"

"I don't know...but alright."

He reluctantly got up and decided to help Nathaniel with his dream of having supernatural powers by warming up,  he was hesitant to do this at first but since Nathaniel was a fan of his, he thought..'I don't see the harm in giving him some of my powers.'   He concentrated as he transferred some of his were-celeb powers into him, releasing bursts of supernatural energy which reflected onto Nathaniel and increased his own energy level.  'Wheeee. This is fun. So when do I transform?'  'Transform?'  'Yeah...when do I become like you?'  'Any second now.'  'Oh boy, oh boy oh boy!'. Nathaniel was super excited about becoming supernatural like his idol and he couldn't wait to transform,  luckily he didn't have to wait for long.

Nathaniel suddenly experienced a tingling sensation as he saw hairs slowly sprouting on the top of his chest and down on his stomach...'Is this it?  Am I getting fur?', he wondered as he scratched his arms which were also gaining hairs on them.  He was definitely thinking this would be his werebelushi fur coming in,  but the hair wasn't the same color as Matthias's fur, it was a dark brownish color.  'That doesn't look like fur like mine to me.'  'Really now? But it does to me.'  His arms slowly broadened with a crunch as his hands enlarged.

"So are you starting to regret it?"

"No...why would I do that? Clearly I am going to be just like you."

"I don't know,  those hairs aren't the same color as my fur."

"Pft..what do you know?"

"You always were too cocky for your own good."

"Hmph...i'm so going to be like you."

He chuckled to himself as he was 100% sure he was going to be a werebelushi like Matthias despite the hairs on his hands not being the same color as Matthias's fur,  of course it was that cockiness of his that was ultimately biting him in the proverbial behind.  His skin lost a bit of the paleness it normally had as it became quite healthy and developed a ruddy complexion,  it also aged up several years.  'Ooh look at me,  i'm going to become a brother Werebelushi I just know it.'     'Don't count your proverbial chickens before they hatch.'
"I'm going to be your new brother,  just you wait."

Nathaniel was so sure he was going to be a werebelushi that he didn't even consider the fact that so far,  he didn't have any of the same traits as Matthias.  He groaned a little bit as his top slowly tightened due to his expanding chest and torso,  with a few popping sounds the buttons on the top popped off, his shirt slowly reforming itself and growing as his stomach pumped up. 'Oh boy here it comes, i'm going to be a big ol Belushi and we're gonna be brothers.'   'Well...I wouldn't say you're gonna be a Belushi.'

"What do you mean by that?  Surely I am going to turn out to be like you."


"The hair color and your weight says different."

He placed his hands over his rear as it plumped up and inflated, his legs also undergoing the same change as his arms.  'Oooh I bet this is where I get my quills right, I can feel it.' 'Don't count on it.'  A crunching sound was heard as his back slowly broadened and gained mass, he turned around and expected to see quills like Matthias's only...he didn't grow any quills at all but he still was confident he was going to become just like him. 'Aaaaw well,  maybe they'll come in later,  yeah that's it.'  'How many times do I have to tell you? You're not going to become exactly like me.'
Matthias sighed as he tried to correct his transforming friend,  Nathaniel was still too cocky to realize that he likely wasn't going to be a werebelushi at all.  He did however get a bit giddy as he slowly grew in height from 5'7 to 5'8 at first (which was the same height as Matthias) but then he grew to 5'9.  'Oooh i'm going to be a big brother to you?'  'You're still not going to be a a Belushi though.'  'Aaaaw come on, look at me.'    He laughed as Nathaniel found himself unable to keep balance as he went up in height to 5'10.  'Ha ha ha, look at ya indeed. You're taller than me.'   'So?  That only means I am going to be your big bro.'

"I told you that you're not going to be a Belushi."

"But...I could be your big brother."

"With that body and with a hair color that isn't the same color as mine?  I don't think so."

"What?  You don't think i'm Belushi material?"

Nathaniel huffed as he attempted to remain confident as he saw himself grow in height from 5'10 to 5'11 and eventually up to 6'0,  then eventually shooting up in height to 6'1.  'See? I'm getting to be a Belushi like you after all.  Look at me.'  He took his boots off, allowing his feet to grow,  he excitedly watched as his feet grew in size expecting to see black fur cover them like on Matthias's feet.  But he was met with disappointment as his feet remained hairless, he didn't look too concerned though.  'No fur,  okay...no big deal,  i'm probably going to get more fur later...that's it.'  'Give it up,  look at you.  You're not going to become like me.'  'That's what you think but i'm going to be a Belushi no matter what.''Oh yeah?'  'Look at your feet again.'

The transforming horror Youtuber looked at his feet a second time,  feeling a tingling sensation between his toes as two of the toes on each foot stuck together, giving them the appearance of being webbed.  'So i've got webbed toes, maybe i'm an aquatic Belushi.'  'You're not a Belushi...look at you.'  'I told you, you gave me your aura and powers...and i'm going to be just like you.'  He really wanted to be like Matthias,  but that's obviously not what was happening to him, he examined himself as his shoulders broadened and his neckline altered. 'Oh yes, i'm going to get the pointed ears and mane, right?  Please tell me i'm going to get those.'  'I wouldn't count on it.'  'Oh yeah?'  His ears grew a little bit in size as his long hair slowly shortened,  turning a little darker but also becoming wavy.

"Heh...nice 'mane'."

"Hey!  Watch it,  i'm still going to be your big bro regardless of how I look."

Matthias playfully mussed up Nathaniel's hair and hugged him.  'For someone who supposedly thinks they're going to be my brother,  you sure are becoming adorable, I mean you're just so adorable.'  'Adorable? I think the word you are looking for is badass or awesome because i'm becoming just like you.'  'Uhhh...you're 6'1 and have webbed toes. I'm 5'8 and I don't have those, you don't even have fur or claws or even pointed ears.'  'Maybe i'm different than you but i'm still your older sibling.'

Nathaniel huffed a few more times,  obviously it hadn't gotten through to him that he wasn't becoming like Matthias at all, his mind was feeling a bit fuzzy.  'Look,  Nat...I love ya as a friend and all but there's no way you're going to be my sibling.  You're not even a Belushi, look at yourself.'   'But I am though, right? I mean I remember viewing John Belushi as a brother figure and since you are like him, that makes you a brother.'   'Really now?  Because i'm pretty sure that doesn't make you my sibling.'

Mentally he was trying so hard to keep his mind from shifting but he just couldn't, he wanted to be like Matthias...but yet his altering mind definitely didn't reflect that.  'I'm your sibling, right?  I mean ever since I was growing up in Ottawa...wait a minute, Ottawa?  Wait
a minute, you're not Canadian.'  'Bingo,  of course i'm not.  But it's clear that you are becoming Canadian, and definitely not becoming like me.'  'But we're siblings, right?'  'I don't think so, I don't ever remember being Canadian, although you clearly do.'

"That can't be right.  How come I can remember specifically being raised in Canada?  Aren't I supposed to be specifically from where you are?  Aren't I becoming a Belushi like you?  So why do I think i'm from Canada?"

"Because as I've told you,  you're not becoming a Belushi. You don't look anything like me, you're taller than me, have webbed toes and you're around 249lbs.  Also you're starting to remember being from Canada because uhhh...how do I put this?  You're turning into well...an Aykroyd."

"An Aykroyd?  Oh that's pretty funny,  everyone knows i'm a Belushi like you are."

"No...i'm serious,  it may have been my were-celeb powers and aura but you're not becoming a Belushi.  You are becoming an Aykroyd, as in...you're turning into Dan Aykroyd, you're getting his memories."

Nathaniel shook his head and attempted to ignore what Matthias was telling him,  'There's no way i'm becoming like Dan Aykroyd,  there's no way...i'm going to be a Belushi.'  In his mind though Aykroyd's voice was already influencing him as he was starting to take on some of Aykroyd's mannerisms, and without warning he found himself breaking out into Aykroydian techno-babble only to cover his mouth in shock at what he just said.   His forehead enlarged a little bit as his eyebrows thickened and arched.  'I bet you're regretting it now.'  'No way, i'm totally becoming a Belushi...see?'  'Just because you have expressive eyebrows and expressions doesn't mean you are like me.'

He huffed around a little bit,  as he attempted to resist what was happening to him...he grunted, feeling an itchy sensation build up in his nose. 'My nose itches...I think i've got a sneeze coming on.'  His nose twitched a few times as it also grew in size,  he looked to see if the tip of the nose was black but it wasn't...as a small cleft appeared in the middle of it..'A-a-a-achoooooo!'.  'That's quite a honker you have there.'  'Hey..don't get any ideas. I'm still going to be your sibling.'  'One problem,  you're not a Belushi...you're an Aykroyd.'  'No i'm not, stop saying that. Stop it.' 

Matthias was observing as Nathaniel's confidence was breaking down, he was panicking and he was horrified yet oddly enchanted by what was happening to him.  Nathaniel's eyes widened,  one turning from brown to green while the other remained brown, he felt his teeth with his tongue as his lips became a bit more kissable, his face slowly altering and becoming round and giving him a homely/cuddly appearance.  'Aaaaaw, look at you're becoming so adorable.  I want to hug you.'  'Noooooo...i'm not adorable, i'm supposed to be badass and awesome like you are.'

"But you're so precious and Aykroyd-like."

"No i'm not,  i'm a Belushi like you."

He huffed as his features slowly morphed and reshaped themselves, taking on the likeness of Canadian comedian Dan Aykroyd,  his confidence was fading as he panicked upon seeing himself and his voice slowly altered, deepening and altering and developing a matter of factual tone and a Canadian accent, becoming Dan's own voice.  'This isn't fair,  you said i'd get to be like you.'  'I didn't say that you would become a were-Belushi now do I?  No I didn't.' 'But i'm not supposed to be an Aykroyd, i'm supposed to be like you.'

Nathaniel sobbed and held his head in agony as his mind and personality altered, the memories from before slowly taking over as he began to realize how right Matthias was, he wasn't meant to be a Belushi after all...after all,  he was a theater guy and had been a star of several plays and clearly he loved to perform,  so he could definitely have already seen himself as an Aykroyd type.   'You know this isn't so bad.'  'I told ya, while you didn't become a Werebelushi like me..you still turned out as something that can be a friend to one...an Aykroyd.'  'You're right,  you know I thought that being an Aykroyd would ruin my reputation and my image but i'm really just glad to be who I am.'

A few minutes later Nathaniel wasn't there anymore,  as Aykroyd's mind and personality took over completely...Dan embraced the changes as he spun around.  'How do you feel?' 'I felt like I was lost in a really dark tunnel with nothing but ghostly voices to guide me, until you reminded me...'  'What did I remind you of/about?'  'You reminded me that no matter how dark it is,  at the end of the tunnel there is a light.'  'Oooh...that reminds me, wanna do a duet together? I've always wanted to sing with you.'  'It would be an honor.'

Dan and Matthias/Werebelushi decided to put on a little musical number as both of them sung together.  'There's a light at the end of the tunnel! There's a light at the end of the tunnel,  the inside might be black as the night but at the end of the tunnel there's a light!', both of them sang a rather spectacular rendition of Light At The End Of The Tunnel from Starlight Express,  showing off their moves in the process.

"You know i've learned a lot from you..."

"And so have I..."

"Matthias, you're a truly talented singer and performer.  And not to mention you remind me so much of John.   And that's a good thing."

"Will you consider being my partner and buddy on the show tonight?"

"Yes, yes...yes please."

"Follow me."

'You know, this being me thing is natural. I've always felt like I could get along with you.' 'Same here...you're a wonderful person.'  'Most people probably think i'm crazy.' 'Dan, you're not crazy, you're uniquely you.'  And thus with that Matthias and Dan decided to do an episode of his show together as a duo, fighting off monsters and bad movies as they shared stories and sang along and had a wonderful time.  'Thank you for being such an awesome friend.' 'No problem, you're an equally as an awesome friend.'

As for what happened to Nathaniel/Dan later on, he discovered all the perks that came with being who he was,  after all being Dan Aykroyd is an interesting, educational and fun experience that he definitely wanted to share with others.  Which just goes to show you that sometimes even though we know who we are going to be like,  we learn something new about ourselves every single day.
