"1, 2, 3, 4…" Susan was counting the times she continuously bounced the rubber ball on her wall. It was Day 6 and nothing exciting. She hadn't heard from the doctor and apparently he was missing according to Link. The doctor did leave three letters, one for each of the monsters. Link was sending hers. He had sounded funny though. Susan was suspicious but wouldn't say anything. All she wanted was to read the letter which should come in today so here she was in the living room, waiting for the mail man. Something she hadn't done since she was kid.
There was a knock on the door and Susan ignored it. It was probable Derek being annoying again. He has been trying hard to get her on a date with him and it always ended with her foot kicking him out the door. Her mother came in and shook her head at her daughter.
"Derek, loves you," her mother said.
"And I dislike him," Susan replied back quickly. Her mother opened the door to say hi to Derek but was faced with a man who had black hair, blue eyes, and a lab coat on.
"Um…I am here to see Susan," the man said. "My name is Dr. Alistair Belden, madam." Susan heard the voice and assumed the doctor had gotten some 'young lad' and hired him to be her boyfriend. She got up and went to the door, stopping. "Oh, hello, dear."
That voice was familiar. The eyes were familiar. The skinny body was familiar. The lab coat was familiar.
"Mom, can't I talk to my 'boyfriend', alone," Susan said. Her mother nodded and left. Susan pulled the man into the lawn. "Dr. Cockroach?"
"What, I still have the cockroach head?" the man questioned as he touched his face.
"No," Susan answered. She grabbed his face between her hands and looked at him intently.
"I know I am not that bad looking," Dr. C said.
"Oh. My. Gosh," Susan said as she fainted. Dr. C captured her quickly.
"Well, that usually happens when I am a monster, not like this though," Dr. C mussed out loud.

"It worked!" Dr. Cockroach/ Belden shouted happily. He was jumping up and down, excited. "But, can I still eat garbage?" He looked at his trash can in the corner and tasted a nasty old sock. It still tasted good. "Yes!"
"Dr. Cockroach you alright?" Link asked as he opened the door. Dr. Cockroach found himself on the ground pinned by Link. "Who are you?!"
"Get off me Link!" Dr. C said and found he still had cockroach skill to get out from Link's form. He was still a monster, but only genetically now. Hopefully his look wouldn't change.
"Doc?" Link asked.
"Well, how many British 'quakes' do you know?" Dr. Cockroach questioned.
"You are human!" Link shouted.
"No I am not, I can still eat garbage," Dr. Cockroach said.
"Why the hell did you it?" Link questioned. Dr. Cockroach looked down at his shoes, his eyes glazing. "Ha! You do like Susan!"
"I do not, I am just going to help her with a problem she has at home," Dr. Cockroach told the man, his arms crossing across his chest. "Duh."
