Otto's P.O.V.
This was horrible.
No, it was more than horrible. This had been the worst day of my life so far. Not only that, this would probably stretch on for the entire week. Then that would mean that it would become the worst week of my life.
Why am I ranting like this, you ask?
Well, I guess the reason can be explained with a flashback.
(Flashback)
"Are you sure this'll work professor?" I asked, fidgeting a little. Even if Professor Pike was a genius, everyone can make a miscalculation in his or her equations.
"You'll be fine Otto, I've checked and re-checked all the calculations, the machinery, everything!" he said.
Originally, I had volunteered to be part of the Professor's experiment. Most of the people I knew, Miss Leon mostly, tried to talk me out of it. However, I stood firm. I didn't trust the older man completely, but I was interested in his theory. He said that he could safely alter the DNA of a human being by simply using a sample of different specie. That meant that I could turn into whatever I wanted.
"There is a time limit though." He said. He told me it would only last a week. I didn't really mind. I just wanted to see how it felt like to be something else. Professor Pike said that he would be using hair from a cat. I was hoping this wouldn't turn out to be a "Miss Leon" situation. I liked my opposable thumbs, thank you very much.
"I just have to ask though, where did you get the DNA sample?"
"Miss Leon." He said simply. There were two vials on his worktable, both containing a strand of hair. I assumed that of them had the cat DNA.
"Alright then." He said. I got off the chair and walked towards one of the capsules. One would contain the DNA, while the other would contain me. I started to fidget again. What if something went wrong?
'No.' I thought to myself. 'You heard the professor, he checked everything.' I breathed slowly, trying to calm myself down.
"Ready?" he asked me. I gave him thumbs up. Without looking, he grabbed one of the vials, the one with a… yellow hair?
Wait, wasn't Miss Leon's cat hair white?*
"Professor, wait―" it was too late though. The capsule had closed, and he couldn't hear me anymore. I just stood there, hoping what I saw was a trick of light.
A strange gas started gushing in from the ceiling of the capsule. I started to feel light-headed…
I woke up, and for some reason, Professor Pike stared at me with a worried face.
"Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. I must have grabbed the wrong vial…" was what he was muttering.
"Is something wrong―" wait a minute. Why was I talking? I was supposed to be a cat! I looked at my hands. They were normal. I tried staggering upwards, when I suddenly felt tired, woozy even. I also felt a sharp pain in my chest.
"What the hell? What happened?" I looked down and gasped.
I was turned into a girl.
(Flashback done)
Afterwards, I freaked out. When I calmed down, I asked in my calmest manner (which wasn't that calm) why I was turned into a girl. Apparently, there was another experiment the professor was doing, and he was using female DNA. Unluckily enough, the vial with the hair happened to be next to the cat DNA, and the professor happened to pick the female DNA up instead of the cat's DNA.
I swore like there was no tomorrow
"How will I tell this to my friends?!" I shouted. "Just calm down for a second," he said. "And tell them the truth."
"How can I tell them the truth!? Oh hi guys! Your friend Otto has been turned into a girl. Interesting huh?" I said, with venom at the end.
"No, just tell them that the experiment backfired, and that they'll have to put up with it." Professor Pike told me. I calmed down, thinking that it was a good idea. I looked into one of the reflective mirrors and gasped somewhat. My once short spiky and white hair had become long, and wavy. It was still white though. My once high cheekbones that separated me from looking like a girl were gone somewhat, giving me that child-like look. My chest bulged somewhat (Yuck) as well.
"Well, it could be okay if they knew." I said. I had finally calmed down, when I heard someone come down the hall, to the lab.
"Otto?"
"Oh crap. Wing!"
And it begins....
