Emergence.

"Di-did what Fakir?" I nervously looked up at him. His green eyes were placed soley on me and I blushed a bit.

What's gotten into him? Suddenly he snapped out of his daze and his eyes darted farther down from my face, only to immediately shoot back up accompanied by a deep blush.

I followed his previous gaze and gasped, flushing bright red.

I see something a duck shouldn't have! Fakir was still carrying me bridal style but his gaze stayed firmly on the pine tree looming behind us, that just so happened to become interesting.

I...I'm a girl, and i'm naked right now... This is a peculiar situation...

"Need some water Zura?~"

"Quack!" I yelled, startled by Uzura's sudden question.

Uh-oh... I clapped a hand over my mouth but it was too late. Blinded by a red flash once more, I felt the familiar ruffles of feathers tickle my beak.

"Quaaa..." I gave a dejected sigh.

"No! No! NO! After all that work you are NOT returning to being a duck!" Fakir growled and scooped me up once more.

Suddenly I felt an icy cold splash of water douse me and Fakir from head to toe. The familiar light returned and my limbs elongated. Sopping wet and naked once more, Fakir and I turn to a giggling Uzura who held a (now empty) vase with wilting flowers.

"GIRL ZURAAAA~! SHE'S A GIRL ZURAA~!" Uzura sang and banged her drums.

Fakir let out a sigh. "I guess you're not permanently a girl.. "

"Hey does this mean I can turn into princess tutu as well?" I asked giddily.

Fakir gave a scowl and I regretted my question.

"Idiot! Count your blessings that you can even be a girl this long!" Fakir declared.

True... I pouted then as if just remembering the situation, I flush strawberry red.

Fakir gazes down at how red I am and an annoyed expression plays on his face.

"Did you ALREADY catch a cold? You've only been a girl for the past 2 minutes..." He trails off seeing my angry expression.

"FAKIR! I'M STILL NAKED!" I yell, knocking him off his high horse.

"Crap!" Fakir sputters, the way he was blushing he could've passed for a tomato!

"What are you doing zura~?"

"Shut up!"
