Comment #1: This is in alternate universe setting; thus, Allen does not have his curse nor deformed arm.


"I can't believe you would do that, Master!" Allen cried out angrily as he glared at the man whom he has called his master. The older man, on the other hand, merely exhaled the cigarette fume into his face, and continued to drown a cup of sake as if Allen had not interrupted him.

"How can you just marry me off?" Allen continued as if he was not interrupted in his rant, and added, "To a guy, no less! What were you thinking, Master?"

Cross Marian merely scoffed in response as he put down his now-empty cup on the table, and glanced over to his apprentice to say, "Heh, we all know you play for the home team. Admit it, idiot apprentice." With a satisfied smirk on his expression, Cross put out his cigarette, pulled out a manila folder from his briefcase, and tossed it on the table.

He ignored Allen's stammering protests, and said, "Besides, my friend decided to pay off some of my debts in exchange, so I'd be a fool not to take the deal."

Allen narrowed his eyes at the statement, and murmured darkly under his breath, "Of course, there'd be something in it for him."

Cross took out another cigarette, pretending that he did not hear Allen's remark, and continued with his explanation (not that he should even be explaining in the first place, but he was feeling rather generous that day), "I also told Neah about this, and he already enrolled you into Black Order High, where your fiancée is going to school at. But there was slight mistake in the documents, so you'll have to go as a girl."

"Wait, WHAT!" Allen blurted with his eyes widen in shock, and when his brain finally registered the statement, he wailed out a, "How could you guys do this to me!"

"Don't worry, idiot apprentice," Cross stated with a maniacal grin as he exhaled the cigarette fume, and stood up from his position with a hammer in hand, "When you wake up, you'll be a girl; and Tim will be more than happy to accompany you to your school."

"W-w-wait! Master, l-let's talk about this," Allen stammered as he scooted backward until his back hit the living room wall. He let out a fearful gulp as Cross loomed over his figure with a hammer, and he felt a painful bump on his head before the darkness slowly consumed his vision.

"If you wanted to cancel the marriage, you just have to find him and talk him into it," Allen heard Cross's voice as the darkness completely took over his mind.


Allen let out a groan as he sat up from his lying position, and held his head as he tried to ease the onslaught of headaches. When his headache eased a bit, Allen glanced around the room to realize that his demonic master had left since he could not hear any noises or sounds in the house. With a sigh, Allen slowly stood up, only realized that something was wrong… something was very wrong.

The front door then opened, startling Allen before he turned around to face a familiar person. "Timcampy! You've got help me!" that was the first thing Allen cried out.

"Whoa, Master Allen, you've really turned into a girl," and that was the first thing Timcampy blurted out with his eyes widened in surprise whilst the bags he was holding dropped to the ground with a 'thud'. "I thought Master Cross and Neah were kidding when they were talking about it a month ago," he added as an afterthought as he looked at Allen.

Timcampy could not help but let out an amused smirk when he noted Allen's new image. The long wavy chestnut brown hair with silvery white highlights, a pair of bluish gray eyes that looked more feminine, the bust, and slight change in height. All in all, Allen is definitely a female now.

"Why didn't you tell me, Tim~" Allen wailed as he dropped to the ground once more and stared at Timcampy with a pout.

"Like I said, I thought they were kidding," the platinum blond haired male responded with a sigh as he closed the door behind him, and gathered his fallen bags. "In any case, we don't how long you'll look like a girl, so I went ahead and bought you some new clothes. Don't look at me like that, Allen; you don't know the trauma I went through to buy those undergarments."

With that, Allen fainted for the second time in the same day. Timcampy let out a defeated sigh as he massaged his forehead, inwardly wondering if Master Cross and Neah were doing the right thing by forcing Allen into this ordeal.

'Then again…' Timcampy let his thought trail off as he glanced at Allen's unconscious figure, and let out a smirk. "Poor Master Allen, but this might just be fun. I wonder who his – I mean, her fiancée is…" he murmured under his breath.


Comment #2: Yes, Timcampy is human in this. What do you think his last name should be? Most importantly, what do you think of the story?
