Kwazii woke up and looked around the room. The last thing he remembers was being in the Gup-B helping animals in the reef and Barnacles yelling something about a storm on the way.

"Kwazii?" Peso said, "Good, you're up!"

"What happened?"

"Well," Peso said nervously playing with his flippers, "You were out on the reef when Dashi noticed something weird on the radar. It was a strange storm headed your way. Barnacles tried to warn you, told you to head back to the Octopod, but you wouldn't listen. When the storm hit you disappears!" Peso panicked, all his emotions from that moment flooding back, "We were all worried and quickly drove the ship to where we had last seen you on the radar. For hours we searched," tears came to Peso's eyes, "I thought we would never find you," He whispered.

"Don' worry matey. 'M right 'ere." They shared a smile.

"We found you," Peso continued, "sometime later. The Gup-B was stuck upside down in the side of the reef." He paused for a moment, "I looked you over for any injuries and you were fine...that is, except for one thing, uh, um..,you're a woman...now?"

"What!," Kwazii yelled looking down and finding to big chunks of fat on his chest. He reached up and groped them to see if they were real, "How did this happen?" He yelled at Peso his hands still feeling his chest up.

"Please, stop that," Peso blushed, "And I really don't know? When I check you over you had no injuries at all and were completely healthy. The only change was your sex?"

Kwazii was only partially listening as he pulled the top of his shirt out and looked down and his bare breasts. It was true. They were real and attached to his body. He covered them again and looked down at his lap. Kwazii slowly pulled the hem of his pants out and was just about to put has other hand down his pants when Peso yelled at him.

"Kwazii, What are you doing! Don't do that! Well, not here! In front of people!"

Kwazii looked more upset then chastised, but at least he stopped.

"So, what now?" Kwazii sighed.

"I'm not sure." He shrugged, "The captain should be here soon and you can ask him." With that Peso turned and continued what he had been doing before Kwazii had woken up.

Kwazii got out of the bed and noticed that although he was a girl he was still pretty much the same. His hair was an inch or two longer, but not really any different. Walking over to a mirror he saw that he still looked, over all, like himself. Sure he had boobs and some nice curves, if he said so himself, but he still had orange fur, a chunk taken out of his ear and freckles. He turned to check out his ass when the door opened.

"Peso, is Kwazii awa-" Barnacles cut himself off as he took in Kwazii's new body. She was beautiful!, "I'm sorry, but who are you?" He asked politely after collecting himself.

"Is me Cap'an." Kwazii smiled.

"Kwazii!" Barnacles shouted in shock.

"It's true, Captain. Something must have happened in that storm. I'm not sure how, but it turned Kwazii into a girl."

"Well," Barnacles cleared his throat loudly, "I'm glad you're safe and sound. Now let's get back to work."

"Aye captain. I'm going to go talk to Tweak and see if she has figured out anything new about that storm." Peso was out the door before even finishing the sentence.

The two left in the room stood in silence.

"Are you hungry?" Barnacles asked awkwardly.

"Absolutely starving!" Kwazii said running out the door, "Race you there!"

"Cheater!" Barnacles yelled after him, "You had a head start!"
