CHAPTER 10
NEW LOOK
As the morning sun cane into view, a groan could be heard from inside the cabin. Puss was slowly opening his eyes, trying his best to get rid of the headache that came pounding on his forehead. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was a strange woman with dark brown hair and light skin. She was a good size considering that she was wearing a dress that showed off her body. Puss did his best to just close his eyes and hope that the woman was only a hallucination. When he opened his eyes back up, he saw that the woman was not an image of his imagination. She was actually a real person who was lying right down beside him. She gave him a smile with her bright red lips. In front of the top of her head was a wooden basket. She must be one of the ladies that came to collect the laundry and saw they had guest.
The woman giggled. "Well, hello there."
"Uh,...hello," Puss said, doing his best to stand up, "What is going on here?"
"We found you here in the laundry cabin," a woman with blonde hair said.
"Your ogre friend is really simpatico," a woman with black hair said.
"Oh, my head," Puss said.
"Here," the brown haired woman said, "I collected some water from the well for you."
"Grasias, senorita." As Puss reached out to grab the bucket, he looked down at his paws that looked a lot more like...human hands. "What the-" He grabbed the bucket and looked at his reflection. His face was...a human. "Ay, ay, ay!"
"Puss, you are a..." Shrek said, not able to finish his sentence.
"Whoa," Peter Pan said, "I did not expect to wake up and see that."
"What has happened to me?" Puss asked, feeling all around his new form. "A triangular shape nose? A six pack of abs? Tarnish skin? Longer arms and legs? I'm...I'm..."
"Gorgeous," the brown haired woman said.
"Hot," the blonde hair woman said.
"Guapo," the black haired woman said, "I'm Rosa."
"I'm Janet," said the brown haired woman.
"I'm Mary Ann," the blonde hair woman said, "What's your name?"
"Eh, Puss," Puss said.
"Puss? I've never heard a name like that before, but it sure does suit you."
"Are you from Spain?" Rosa asked, "That's where I came from."
"Do you like cats?" Janet asked.
"Well, just yesterday, I was a cat," Puss said, "Today, I am a human. Can somebody explain to me what's going on?"
"Perhaps the logo on this potion bottle can," Shrek said, "When it stated that it will change your life, it actually meant that."
"Oh, by the way, you're wearing nothing but a pair of black underpants, a belt, a hat and a pair of boots," Peter Pan said, causing Tinker Bell to laugh.
Suddenly, Jane Blue popped up out of nowhere. "Oh, I'm so, so, so, so, so, so, sorry, Puss. I came here as soon as I can. Wait a second. Where are you?"
"I'm right here," Puss said, raising his hand up to show himself.
Jane gasped. "Oh, no. I'm too late."
"What are you talking about? What's wrong?"
"Puss, the potion that you found in my office was not made from me."
"But it was in your supply closet."
"I know, but I didn't know it was there. Somebody else placed in there to trick you."
"Who?"
"Her name is Caterina. She's always trying to mess up everything I do. Making me fail my final test is one thing."
"If you don't pass your test, you won't get your wings."
"I know, but that doesn't matter right now. I need to figure out a way to fix this."
"I think there is a way," Shrek said, "It states here that the only way to make this spell permanent is by kissing your true love by midnight."
"Why must everything happen at midnight?" Puss asked.
"I'll be your true love," Rosa said.
"Pick me," Mary Ann said.
"I'll be true," Janet said.
"Senoritas, I already have a true love," Puss said.
"Awwwww!" The girls said sadly.
"If that's the only way to break the spell, then that means it happened to Kitty as well," Jane said.
"Is that bad?" Peter said.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Taking a few breaths, Jane calmed herself down. "Okay, I'll figure out a way to fix this. I need to go see Kitty. For now, Puss, you get some clothes on and meet me at the castle in two hours." With that, Jane poofed herself away.
Puss looked at himself to see that he did need to be clothed. "I suppose you ladies wouldn't mind having something for me to wear, do you?"
The ladies gasped, bumping into each other to find material.
Shrek chuckled. "Don't worry. He'll be done before you know it."
Puss nodded, but sighed as well. He was worried what Kitty would think of him now that he was human.
It was bright and early. The sun was shining and Mainland was filled with joy and happiness. Not only was the land happy, but Kitty woke up in a good mood for the first time in the last couple of days. She yawned, climbing out of bed. She knew it would be a wonderful day. It all started put with Jane Blue barging in her bedroom.
"Kitty, I came to make sure that you were okay," Jane said. Once she saw Kitty, she gasped. "Oh, no. It has affected you."
"What are you talking about, Jane? It doesn't feel like anything is affecting me today. She sun is shining, Puss will be coming home today, and a smile is right upon my face."
Jane groaned. "Open your eyes, Kitty. Look at yourself in the mirror."
"I know exactly what I look like, Jane. My beautiful, feline looking self. You know, I'm really not that mad at my parents anymore. I understand why they did it. It was only to protect me. I'm sure that after tonight, Papa will be happy to see that I'm with the man I care about more than anything. I can't wait for Puss to see how beautiful I look. My fur will be shiny, my eyes will be shining and the fun will finally begin." Wiping her face with a towel, Kitty removed it from her face, looking at herself in the mirror. When she saw her reflection, she screamed. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"I figured that would happen."
Kitty looked at herself in the mirror. She looked so different. She had a small triangular nose, freckles on her cheeks, and had on bright pink lipstick. Her eyes were still blue, thank goodness. Her hair was pretty long and went down to her midsection. Her body was like any woman's body. She actually had hands and feet. She couldn't believe it. She was actually a human.
"How did this happen to me? I'm a human. Again!" Kitty shouted.
"I know. I'm sorry. This is all my fault," Jane said.
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm so sorry. There's this evil fairy that's trying to get back at me for some reason and she doesn't want me to pass my test and she placed this potion in my supply closet of my office and Puss found it and he drank it and not only would it affect him, but it affected you, too. It turned you both human. I'm so sorry. Please accept my apology."
"I forgive you. Don't worry about it."
"Don't worry, Kitty. I will fix this. I promise. In the next couple of hours, Puss will be here and we will sort this out. I promise. Double promise. I cross my heart and hope to die. Well, I can't die on account that I'm a fairy."
"We'll work this out, Jane. Why don't you go and fix yourself a cup of tea while I get ready. I'm sure my mother won't mind me borrowing one of her dresses."
A knock came to the door. Jane gasped. "That's my cue. Gotta go." With that, Jane disappeared.
Another knock came to the door. Kitty covered herself with the sheet. "Who is it?"
"It's me, Fiona," Fiona said, "Are you okay in there?"
"Yes, I'm fine. Can you come in for a second?"
Opening the door, Fiona took one look and screamed along with Kitty. Even though she just found out a few minutes ago, Kitty was still freaked out by all this.
WELL, THERE IT IS. THAT'S THE SPELL. IT TURNED BOTH KITTY AND PUSS INTO HUMANS. LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
PLEASE REVIEW.
