Gamzee sat in his respite block dreaming about Gamzee things when suddenly a bird flies in the window.
"Yo. Nigga ass motherfucker. Wassup," the bird chirped.
Gamzee was too dumbfounded to answer. It's not everyday that one sees a bird fly in their window and talk all ghetto-like.
"HeLlO mOtHeRfUcKeR, WhAt ArE yOu AlL uP aNd MoThErFuCkIn HeRe FoR?" Gamzee replied after awhile.
"I'm here to grant you one motherfucking wish homie. So whazzit gon' be nigga?"
"WeLl I wAs AlL uP aNd GeTtInG mY tHiNk On AnD i WaS tHiNkInG, WhAt Is It LiKe To Be A pOtAtO. HoNk : o)"
"…so hold on one bitchass second. I all up and come in here and grant you anything you mother fucking want, bitches, money, anything. And you wanna be a potato."
"hOnK"
And thus we have the story of how Gamzee became a potato temporarily. You can imagine how horrified Karkat was, being the first to chance upon him after the change, to see his friend like this.
"HEY FUCKASS. IVE BEEN LOOKING EVERY- HOLY CRAPFUCKING NOOKS. WHAT ARE YOU DOING."
It was a normal day on Alternia and Gamzee Makara was sitting around eating a slime pie because that is what Gamzee Makara does.
"WoAh. ThIs mOtHeRfUcKiN tAsTeS wEiRd." He said slowly down his chewing. Little did he know, a certain other troll lay behind the vent watching intently. But we're saving him for later because that would make the story REALLY short.
Suddenly, Gamzee ceased eating his delicious pie and dropped it to the floor. Gamzee's head was throbbing. "WhAt The..." Gamzee kneeled on the ground. "FuuuuuuuCkkk-" his words trailed off as he hit his hive floor.
*~time skip~*
A few sweep fragments later, Gamzee awoke and his eyes shot open. He went to go rub his head, for his think pan felt unusually achy. But something wasn't quite right...his hands, torso, and legs appeared to be gone! Gamzee gasped. "Oh No BrO. I wAs GoInG tO mEeT tAv Bro ToDaY." Feeling helpless and slightly saddened, Gamzee rolled down the street to Tavros's house. But he faced a slight problem; he couldn't reach the doorbell. He then proceeded to sit there as a potato and wait for the next time Tavros would exit his hive. That might be a few sweeps.
