READ THIS

kay its been a while and this isnt the one with 'the mysterious man' but thats coming, however i feel i did something drastic in this chapter, but the reason is lately i've been looking back at old chapters for this and thinking, 'ah god i wrote this?'

also i think i made a mistake making him a Gumball machine, theres too many in this fic! so thats why i've done what i did,

PLEASE DONT HATE ME FOR IT, theres actually a good plot here... kinda...

I stared at the mirror in contempt,

And the metal figure I saw stared back,

It had been fun at first being a gumball machine, it was different,

But now...

I had no idea how my body worked, in several areas particularly,

At first I had been fine with all of this,

But now with charlotte, I had no idea how that was meant to work at all,

I sighed and looked at myself again in the mirror, the form that at first felt like a dream come true was now mocking me,

My 'skin' was hard and cold like rigamortis,

I suppose it would have been fine if I had been like this all my life, but I knew what soft skin was like and how it felt,

It was at that moment I wished I was something else, not human because, well in a regular show universe that would have been a wasted opportunity, but something organic at least, something flesh and blood,

But I had no choice in that matter,

I hadn't said a word to charlotte about any of this, but somehow I felt skips knew,

There's a shock,

I wanted to hold charlotte with softer arms that wouldn't make sparks if I brushed the metal drain pipe outside,

I didn't want to live in fear of smashing my head,

And I didn't want to have an annoying rattle following me around,

I didn't have anymore time to dwell on this matter however,

It was time for work

For half an hour I had been trimming a bush, it was slow going and I was bored, the thoughts in my head still lingering, I had Rigby helping me though,

Although I think I would have been done quicker if I asked a brick to do it,

Then I heard Rigby gasp, ''oh-no'' he said exasperatedly,

''What?'' I asked, he gestured to behind me,

''its her again'' he sighed, I turned and saw an old lady glaring at us with distain and contempt, she looked about 55 but her hair still had its brown colour

''What's her deal?'' I asked,

''I dunno whenever me and mordecai see her we try to ignore her'' he said, ''I guess she's just some crazy lady''

For once Rigby probably had a point, so we ignored her,

15 minutes later though she was still there,

''I'm gonna see what he problem is'' I said,

''You sure dude? What if she goes insane?'' voiced Rigby,

''Then we leg it'' I said simply and walked over, her eyes narrowed as I did,

''Can I help y-?'' that was as far as I got before she started off on one,

''Don't you speak to me you disgusting creature!''

''... I beg your pardon?''

''Abominations!'' she shouted, ''you two are an abomination to the lord!''

Other people were starting to gather round, but it was hard to read there expressions,

I was completely stumped and taken aback; Rigby wasn't so speechless however,

''Hey you can speak to me like that you hole!''

I looked at him, ''or him''

''Why, can't your tiny animal brain comprehend it?! Your kind should have stayed in the woods where they belonged!''

''Woa! Racist!'' I said, she was kinda, actually there's no 'kinda' about it,

''Your no men, you weren't made in the lords own image!'' she declared, ''I can say what I like to you!''

''Well we don't have to stand here and listen'' I said simply, and walked off with Rigby,

''This isn't over! Soon people will see you are the devils work!'' she shouted,

We ignored her and walked back to the house, how could we work with her there?

When we arrived we explained the situation to Benson,

''Oh no she's not back is she?'' he sighed exasperated, ''she's getting worse,

''She's been here before?'' I asked,

''Yeah for a while now, I guess you've just been missing her'' said Rigby,

Then mordecai walked in, ''dude she was there again!'' he stated angrily,

''Then you'll have to stay here, we can't work if she's out there'' said Benson,

''Really?'' said Rigby happily,

''But you get right back to work after she's gone!'' snapped Benson,

''Aww man''

Soon each employee came to the house voicing there complaints towards the sour lady outside,

And voicing them at Benson,

Then skips walked in, he surveyed the scene,

''Let me guess'' he said, ''that religious lady?''

''She can't use religion as an excuse to be a jerkwad!'' said muscleman, everyone agreed,

''This is getting ridiculous!'' said Benson, ''why are we all in here hiding from her? All she does is say stupid things and annoy us!''

''But she's getting worse!'' said pops, ''all she used to do is stare at us, but now her hurtful comments are throwing our concentration''

''Well she can't get any worse than that right?'' said Benson,

suddenly there was a terrific banging on the door, Benson opened it slightly before it was pushed open, a small anthropomorphic rat girl ran in and shut the door, she was beige coloured, had round ears sticking out the top of her head through her orange hair and a long thin tail, she had a red shirt, white belt and blue short skirt,

''Apologies seniors!'' she said panting, she had a Spanish accent,

''What's up with you?'' asked muscleman?

''There iz the crazy lady outside, she strike me with cane'' showing a bruise on her arm,

Then there was more banging on the door, Benson peered out but we could all see her through the window,

''She hit a girl!'' said Rigby, ''that sucks everyone knows girls a weaker and can't fight back,

A sharp punch in the arm from Sara made him regret that,

''You can hide from me but you can't hide from the eyes of out lord!'' shouted the lady,

''GET OFF OUR PORCH OR I'M CALLING THE COPS!'' shouted Benson,

She narrowed her eyes and backed away down the stairs,

I'm pretty sure we all hoped she would fall,

She didn't though, another crowd had gathered round, she addressed them now,

''Fellow sons and daughters of our lord! The devils minions are all around us, they even invest this park disguising themselves as groundskeepers, throughout this whole city the plague of these demons are among us! They take not human form! But that of animals! And in some cases machines! We must work to cure this disease!''

''Hey what's your problem?'' shouted one person,

''Yeah anthro's aren't bad!'' shouted another,

In fact a few anthro's had joined the crowd, and they were voicing distain for the lady as well,

She was looking around now at all the people against her, ''what's wrong with you people! Can't you see they've pulled the wool over your eyes! There un-natural and shouldn't be allowed, some of them don't even bother with cloths!''

''Hit the road grandma!'' shouted another voice, everyone else began chipping in telling her to go away,

''Fine!'' she shouted, but you'll all see! this isn't over!'' she turned back to the house, ''I'll be back, I've been working to rid this world your kinds curse for years and soon it will be time!'' she narrowed her eyes, ''very very soon''

And then she stormed off while both anthro's and humans jeered and booed her,

''Ooooohhhh she just got told by everybodeh!'' shouted Rigby,

The crowd dispersed and the rat girl left,

Skips though wasn't sure about something,

''I think there's something more to her'' he said solemnly,

''Yeah liver spots and prunes!'' said mordecai, and him and Rigby began shouting there famous 'oohh'

Skips was unfazed though, in fact we all felt a little disturbed by what she said,

Because when you hear someone shouts something like that in this universe, it never ends well,

I know from experience,

Eventually we ventured back out, and as I went down the stairs,

That annoying rattle followed me.

It had been a week since the lady had been seen at the park,

For the past week things had been going as normal, except one thing,

''Dude why are you wearing that shirt?'' asked Rigby,

''cos I feel like it'' I replied, fact was I had been feeling pretty damn self conscious about not wearing anything after that lady had just shouted it, so I had been wearing a red shirt for a week,

''Is there a meeting or anything going on today?'' asked mordecai,

''No why?''

''Because there's a load of people at the front of the house'' he said, we looked and saw he was right! There were almost hundreds, and they were all anthro's, not a single human was there,

''why is there a load of people outside?'' asked Benson walking in, we didn't know, and when we asked around the others but they didn't know either, so Benson went outside, when he did they all turned, one, a white wolf girl wearing a black jacket and jeans, went forward,

''What's this meeting we have to be hear for?'' she asked,

''Meeting? I didn't arrange any meeting'' said Benson, but the girl handed him a flyer, he looked at it then stormed up,

''Who made this!'' he yelled, we looked at what it said,

'CALLING ALL ANTHRO'S!'

'SPECIAL MEETING IN PARK TODAY AT 11AM'

'ALL MUST ATTEND!'

'BE THERE OR BE SQUARE!'

No one said anything, the wolf girl walked up,

''There's posters like this all over the city, and there's big signs outside saying no-one can come in except anthro's''

''What?!'' shouted Benson,

''Yeah every anthro in town must be in the park somewhere''

''No good can come of this'' said skips,

I hate the fact he's always right when he says things like that,

And this was no different,

Only this was going to change a few things around here,

We could see one of the set of gates from the house,

Which meant we all saw it slam shut,

''What the-''

''ALL EXITS HAVE BEENS SEALED!'' boomed a voice that sounded like it came from nowhere,

''What was that!'' shouted Rigby,

''ABOMINATIONS! PREPARE TO MEET YOUR MATCH!''

Uh-oh,

There was a rumbling sound, skips sniffed the air,

''I smell black magic!'' he shouted,

Then we saw it, it emerged over the hillside, a huge white painted device,

The bottom of it looked like a tank with caterpillar tracks,

but the top of it was a huge platform, on some sort of hydraulic arm was a mix of a satellite dish and ray gun, on a seat working the controls was the old lady from last week smiling evilly, next to her was a white block, on it was a small rectangular screen and a dial below it,

This didn't look good,

She held up her loud speaker and shouted through it,

''SPAWNS OF SATAN!'' she shouted, ''I HAVE YOU KNOW!''

''What is that thing!'' yelled the wolf girl, the lady grinned,

''I'm so glad you asked'' she turned her dial and the screen lit up, it moved past several names of species until it landed on 'HUMAN' lit up in green,

Then the arm moved and aimed at her, and fired a green ray at her,

The force knocked her back and she would have fallen if she hadn't grabbed a support beam, the green light surrounded her, then things started happening,

Her tail shrank into nothing, her ears shrunk and moved to the side of her head, her nose retracted into her face and her white fur shedded and fell, and then the green light went away...

Leaving behind a human,

For a moment not a sound was heard, the newly human girl looked at her now pink hands in horror,

''Wha... wha... what did you do to me!?'' she cried, starting to tear up

''It works!'' cried the lady, ''and you are the first of many!''

''Skips! You can fix her right!'' asked mordecai as the girl started to freak out and cry,

''Its black magic! And it's too entwined into her machine! Only it can change her back, we need to get control of it!''

All the anthro's were running around narrowly avoiding the rays being shot from the machine, thanks to there animal instincts and abilities they were hard to aim at,

She turned away to see a target run by, and skips ran/skipped forwards,

That was the cue to swarm,

Quite a few of the other anthro's as well as us workers were trying to clamber on the machine,

At one point mordecai got through and knocked the lady off her seat and took control, the now-human girl ran forward,

''Change me back! Please change me back!''

Mordecai fiddled with dial until it showed 'wolf' and aimed as best he could at her,

Then he fired,

The green ray hit her again and when it went away this time she was back to being a wolf!

She ran away just as the lady's cane came into contact with mordecai face! he was knocked off and the lady regained control, I was scaling the front trying to grab hold of something, I did, the arm as it came down, it was waving around as the controls were hit and bashed,

And it took me with it,

Charlotte tried to grab my ankle but just ended up coming along for the ride,

As this was happening others had jumped on board and were helping to overpower the lady but she was tougher than she looked,

Then as skips tried to throw a punch she ducked and he hit the dial,

The screen showed several hundred animals a second before it began sparking,

Me and charlotte had just been thrown up into the air and were now falling in front of the machine,

''NOO MY MACHINE!'' she cried, she tried to regain control and managed to point the arm forwards, and right as we were falling in front of it...

She managed to press 'FIRE'.

the green beam shot out the end and struck me and charlotte dead on, because we were so close it didn't just knock us back like it did with the wolf girl, it sent us flying,

It felt like being punched! As we flew through the air I could feel my body contorting and changing! It didn't feel human! The dial had broken so I had no idea what was going to happen to me and charlotte!

Everything seemed to go in slow motion, I saw that the machine was overloading, everyone jumped off as it began to go haywire, but the lady was still trying to regain control,

Then as the green light round us two went away a ball of it surrounded the machine and the lady, it stayed there for a few seconds...

I could hear her scream as it exploded,

I still hadn't seen what happened to us to,

I still hadn't before we hit the tree and I blacked out.

I blinked,

I tried to move, but it was difficult,

I was still in the park, lying by the tree, but I felt... off,

I could feel charlotte lying horizontal to me on my chest, but she felt different,

(Don't go there)

''Dude! Are you alright?!'' said mordecai as the others ran over,

''I'm not great I must admit'' I said, bringing up a hand to rub my eyes, as I did I caught sight of it,

It wasn't metal, and it defiantly wasn't human,

It was soft and covered in white fur,

my eyes widened and I grabbed my glasses of the ground from where they had fallen and stuck them on to make sure I was seeing right,

I was,

''What the hell?'' I said quietly,

''Dude, she's changed you!'' said mordecai, ''and charlotte!''

''...changed how?'' I said getting to my feet as best as I could, I went to rub my head were it hurt from the tree,

And my hand bumped into something soft, furry and long; there were two of them coming out of my head,

I looked down at my feet and saw they were bigger, had white toes and were covered in white fur as well, I brought my hands to my face and felt I had a mussel and nose at the end of it with three whiskers coming out at each side, I felt something as I got up, looking down I saw I had a tail of some sort looking a giant cotton ball,

''What the hell am I?!'' I shouted,

''Same as her'' said Rigby pointing at charlotte, for the first time I got a look at her,

She defiantly was not a gumball machine,

She was a rabbit,

She still had her brown hair, her new ears were poking through it, her purple shirt and black skirt were still there, but she had white fur and feet...

Just like mine...

''Am I... am I a rabbit?!'' I cried,

''Yep'' said skips

''You can change them back right?'' asked Benson, but skips shook his head,

''no can do, that machine was made with black magic as well as technology, it was the only thing that could change you permanently, there wont be any trace of you ever being a gumball machine left in you, so your stuck like this for ever'' he said,

For a second I stared,

''But what about that weird glass ball thing Rigby dug out a while back?'' asked HFG, we all remembered that whole 'species swap' thing,

''it wont be Permanente, and the second I have to give him more of that reversal potion when something else happens, it'll only turn him back into what he is now, to it, he's been a rabbit his whole life,

There was silence for a while; I wasn't a gumball machine anymore,

On one hand this had been what I had wanted, I was an organic life form with a better understanding of what I was,

On the other...

There was a groan on the ground, I jumped when I realised I had nearly forgotten charlotte, she was starting to get up, I leaned over and helped her to her feet, she rubbed her eyes and straightened he glasses,

Then she looked at me,

She leapt back with a shriek sending me falling in shock; she then looked closely at me,

''Adam... is that... is that you?''

''It aint john Denver'' I said

''But your a rabbit!'' she said pointing forward, as she did she caught sight of her arm,

''Wha...what the...?'' she faltered and for the first time she looked at herself,

''My dear I'm afraid he was not the only one caught in the ray'' said pops,

''You mean I'm a-''

''Your a rabbit!'' shouted Rigby

How gentle, not.

charlotte was given the same 'no return' speech I was, for a second she just stood there, then she ran to the house with an upset look on her face, the crowd of anthro's who were just walking around in front of the house helping there friends who had been hurt parted as she ran through, they noticed she was a rabbit now as she disappeared inside,

''Do you think she took it well?'' asked Rigby,

His answer was a punch in the arm from mordecai,

I didn't know what to think, on the one hand I was happier I had an organic body again, but charlotte would have been one her whole life, this was a big change for her,

Granted I had been a human for my whole life, then a gumball machine and now a rabbit, AND had travelled to a whole new universe,

But still,

I decided I better go see her, as I walked over I thanked got I had worn that red shirt; I don't think I could have gone commando like M&R.

As I moved through the crowd I stopped for a moment and looked at the machine's wreckage, it was a smouldering burnt pile of twisted metal and machinery,

Then one piece started moving, there was a groan as a figure crawled out and got up,

It was the lady from before, we all moved back,

Then we noticed that she was not the same as before,

She stood up with a groan and saw us all staring at her,

''What? What are you looking at? You devil spawns destroyed my machine!''

''Hey lady!'' shouted veronica, ''your in no position to be calling anthro's anything!''

We were all sniggering, she didn't know,

''What are you talking about'' she shouted, then she looked in a piece of reflective metal,

She saw instantly what veronica was talking about,

''No'' she whispered, ''no, NO! NOOOOOAAAEEEEGHHH!''

Halfway through her long 'no' turned into a big squeal,

And it didn't sound human.

I turned and continued walking through the crowd; they saw I had been changed,

I went up the stairs slowly and walked inside the house, up the stairs inside and along the landing to her room, it was ajar so I looked in,

She was stood there in front of her mirror, looking in fright at herself, reminding me a lot of when I first arrived,

She was holding her hands in front of herself looking at them, opening and closing them, feeling her arms,

I walked in and she turned around,

''Look at me! I'm... I'm... I'm a rabbit!''

The urge to say something comical was nearly overwhelming but I kept it down,

''It's not so bad'' I tried, stepping forwards to see my own reflection,

there I was, my head was still sort of round and my hair was the same, but the big rabbit ears I had poked through on the top, and the small snout I had had a jet black nose at the end of it,

For a few moments there was silence as we stood there looking in the mirror at our new forms, we were taller than we had been as machines,

''Is this how you felt?'' she said breaking the silence, ''when you first got here? When you saw you were... different?''

''Well... yeah I suppose'', I said, not really sure, when I had arrived there was more pressing matters over the fact I had jumped universes,

''You don't seem that upset'' said charlotte,

''Guess I'm just used to changing species'' I said with a nervous laugh trying to lighten the situation,

I didn't.

''Skips told me how you've been feeling''

...what?

''...what?''

''I asked him why you were in a bad mood lately, and he said you were feeling unhappy about being a gumball machine, when I asked you I knew you wasn't telling the truth''

True I had been in a grouchy mood lately, not mean just down,

And the excuse I had given her hadn't gone well, seeing as I told her I had stubbed my toe...

For several days.

... I'm not too clever at times,

''Why didn't you say anything?''

''Well... what could I say? I thought I might offend you''

''But why was you tired of being a gumball machine?''

I sighed and decided to fess up, ''because my entire body was stiff and made of metal, it was almost impossible to be gentle, I wanted to hold you like I could so much but I just couldn't, you was always so pretty and I couldn't do anything about it''

I stood there feeling stupid, I could feel her looking at me,

''You always thought I was pretty?'' she said,

''...always''

''So, how do you think I look now?''

I turned and took a good look at her, she was taller same as I was but still just shorter than me, her clothes still somewhat fit her and she had a better figure than before,

Then when I looked into her eyes I saw the same kindness and compassion I always had,

I saw the same charlotte,

She had moved closer too me than before, as I told her what I thought I wrapped my arms round her,

''I think you're the most gorgeous creature I have ever seen'' I said,

we hadn't really 'kissed' since that time in the botanical garden, apart from the kiss on the cheek often enough every time we tried it was either banging our glass heads together by accident or something else but right then and there, everything seemed right,

So I kissed her,

And felt her kissing me right back,

I could feel he soft body against mine, our eyes were closed and her arms were round my neck while mine rubbed her back,

Why do lungs always have to spoil moments like this?

We'd only been like this for like a minute and already mine were yelling for more air,

'Breath through the nose' I said mentally,

'There's not enough coming through!' they said,

I sighed mentally annoyed at my lungs and ended the kiss, taking a mouthful of air, charlotte did the same, and she looked at me with a smile,

''That was nice'' she said,

I just nodded, I was tongue tied,

She turned and looked at the mirror with a new happier outlook; she posed in front of it a few times,

''y'know, if you can get used to a new body then I guess I can, might even have some fun with this one''

''Fun?'' I said with a smirk and a raised eyebrow, she was about to answer, then she gasped,

''Oh my god! What about them out there?! What about the lady?! The machine!?''

I smirked, ''trust me, we wont have to worry about her again, she's got a new outlook on life!'' and I gestured to her window, we walked over and looked out,

The police had arrived and were talking to random people, and then we saw the 'lady' being escorted away by the police,

The second she did she began laughing, I did too, after all she did it was just too funny,

Undeterred by her rants the police shoved her in the car, the anthro's outside were pointing and laughing at her,

And the anthropomorphic pig simply glared in hatred as she was driven off.

okay bring on the bad reviews saying 'TURN HIM BACK',
