Diclaimer: I don't own CC, but I do own this storyline:)
By the way, someone sent me an anonymous email that day, asking me when this was based in, so I am giving my reply to that person. This story is supposed to be set 2 months after the final battle with Aion in Pandaemonium.If anyone has any other questions, they can come and clarify it with me. :)
Chapter 3:
Elder heaved a sigh of relief as Chrno stepped out of the machine. It had taken a full week to build the machine, let alone test it out.
" Thank goodness the transformation was a success! Now all we have to do is to destroy the machine before Sister Kate finds out and-
"Uh…Elder?"
" Yes, Chrno?" came the Elder's puzzled question.
"This is temporary, right? So why are you destroying the machine?"
Elder was shocked and his mind was racing. "Uh…Chrno, I think I this is going to be a permanent transformation…I don't know how to reverse your Astral signal again…"
"WHAT?"
People in the Magdalen Order could have sworn they heard a shriek coming from Elder's house that very day.

Rosette sighed and played with her soup by lifting the spoon and pouring the contents back into the bowl again.
Joshua and Azmaria looked at each other with a worried look on their faces. Rosette had not been the same since her argument with Chrno during their last mission.
"Aw, come on Sis, you're gonna have to eat if you want to go on any more missions…you know everyone is worried about you, even Sister Kate, and she's not going to allow you to go on anything, not even shop for groceries, unless you prove to her that you are eating healthily…"
"…I can't, Joshua…I'm thinking about Chrno and how mean I was to him…I feel so terrible…"came the weak and sad reply.
Suddenly, the doors to the lunch area were flung open and a tall figure burst into the room.
Everyone except Rosette gasped as they realized who it was exactly.
It was Chrno.
He had an undescribable look on his face as he strode to Rosette's table. She was too deep in thought to realize that someone had entered the lunch area.
Chrno sat down opposite her and placed a finger below her chin. This shocked her out of her senses and she looked up to find Chrno. He looked totally different. The baby fat in his cheeks seemed to have melted and his eyes were now slanted upwards slightly. His skin seemed to have become more tan and even his clothes had changed.
In her own words, he looked hot.
She blushed deeply for thinking such bad thoughts about him and tried to look down again but his hand stopped her from doing so.
"Chrno…I…"she tried to begin but she lost her voice after looking into those red eyes of his.
" Rosette, I 'm sorry about our argument that day…" He lowered his voice to a whisper. " Meet me near the lake where we usually go to, okay?"
Rosette nodded, still blushing deeply.
Chrno gave her a small smile and stood up abruptly. He noticed that everyone had been watching them and there were now several stifled whispers around the lunch area.
He sighed and flung the big oak doors open once more, allowing the bright sunshine to fill the room, and disappeared.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Once he had gone, the whole room burst into excited giggles and puzzled questions. The only person who seemed the most shocked and startled by it was Rosette, who was still holding her spoon.
Azmaria had to place her hand in front of Rosette's face and gave it a little wave to wake her up from her current dreamland.
"Rosette? Are you alright? What did Chrno say to you?"
"…huh?" came the strangled response.
Joshua and Azmaria looked at each other with a worried look once more. Things were getting weirder and weirder every moment…
