Future me here, this fic was written and posted on AO3 before Bee and Puppycat went onto Netflix. Kinda explains the note made by past me.
Soooooooooo WHO ELSE IS EXCITED FOR BEE AND PUPPYCAT ON NETFLIX? ME IT'S ME I AM! I kinda got this idea after finally seeing some Lazy in Space spoilers (wow I managed to see some spoilers after a few years? Damn. Might've helped that I haven't been interested in Bee and Puppycat until the Netflix trailer popped out again.) and I just had to write once I saw the woeful lack of fics on the interwebs of this cute series. But yeee I still haven't watched all of Lazy in Space as I hadn't tracked it down online. I'm going to wait until it comes onto Netflix to watch it all.
Side note, since I have never written fanfic for this series before I hope I got the characterization right.
Enjoy the fic!
Stupid warlocks. Stupid stupid stupid.
Why did the stupid warlocks attack him at the island? Bee was right there and almost got hurt.
Because of those stupid stupid shitty warlocks.
He was probably more stupid for taking the hit. That's what the stupid shitty stupid warlocks wanted.
If he didn't who knows what those shitty shitty stupid warlocks would've done to Bee.
Puppycat did pass out from the pain. Last he heard was a bunch of explosions. However as he was waking back up he heard… a voice?
Wait he knew that voice.
"Bee…?" He grunted out forcing his eyes to open. He sounded kinda weird. Meh, must've been the pain messing him up.
A blurry image of Bee slowly cleared up. She was staring down at him in shock and… tears in her eyes?!
"WHO MADE YOU CRY?! TELL ME I'LL KILL THEM!" He screeched, voice high pitched.
Bee flinched back with a cry of surprise.
"WAS IT THOSE STUPID WARLOCKS?! HOW DARE THEY?!" Puppycat continued. "I NEED A GUN! OR A BAZOKA! OR A TANK! OR-"
"Puppycat?" A small voice cut him off. Bee.
With a blink he realized he had sat up at some point of his ranting. Another blink and he saw how Bee was staring at him with shock… and she was shorter?
With a frown he answered. "Yeah?"
Huh his voice still sounded kinda weird. Did those stupid crappy warlocks do something to him? Who was he kidding they did something to him all those years ago, they must've done something to him again.
"Holy crAP PUPPYCAT YOU LOOK DIFFERENT! AND YOUR VOICE IS DEEP AS HELL!" Bee yelled into his ear.
…
What?
"What?"
BOOM
Wind whipped around Bee's hair, some of which went into his eyes. "Ack!" He bapped her hair strands away with his hands.
Wait. Hands?
Wide eyed, he stared at his dark hands. His dark four fingered one thumbed hands. His hands that had a ring on his left ring finger. His hands that were attached to white sleeves that were on top of long arms that were connected to his old suit and he was laying on top of his cape and
"I'm… normal again?" He whispered.
Another explosion caused more hair to go into his eyes. "Fuck!" He yelled.
"HEY! MAYBE WE SHOULD DO THIS SOMEWHERE ELSE?" Some other voice yelled. Wasn't that that Cass Wizard person?
He whipped his upward, seeing the damage that the warlocks had caused… and what looked like the last warlocks death.
"Uh oh." Both he and Bee said at the same time.
Ignoring any pain, he jumped up, grabbed Bee, and started to run away from the last explosion the dying warlock was causing.
"Shit! Shit shit shit shit!" He cursed, running, occasionally stumbling, in the sand. He passed by some wide eyes of the Wizard family, before they too joined in running away.
"Wait! Puppycat I can run! Aaaaah! Aaaaaaahhhh! Stop carrying me and let me run!" Bee complained.
Why was he surprised she would? "Hell no! You're the one with short legs now! You'll just be slow!"
"Hey! It was very important to get that job done!" She shot back. Then in a slightly lower voice she complained. "Then that stupid farmer didn't pay us."
He barked out a laugh. "Yeah. 'Payment being the sweet relief of death' my ass."
Suddenly that Deckard guy or whatever ran up faster to them. "I'm sorry what?!" He yelled, dueled colored eyes bulging.
"Again! We'll talk about this later!" Cass yelled from behind.
When the explosion's energy finally hit them, the wind sent them all tumbling. Dirt got into his mouth, his nose, and his eyes.
Why was the universe hating his eyes so?
Coughing filled the air as sand and dust settled.
"Is everyone okay?" One of the Wizard brothers asked. He couldn't find himself to care who it was at that moment.
Instead he stood up. It was quick for him to find Bee. Not only that but to his pleasure it was easy to help her stand up.
Wow he was towering over her. The last time something like that happened was when he loaded his save file during Bee's birthday last year. This time, however, he was taller.
She stared up at him, her head tilted all the way back. Her brown eyes were shining at him with wonder. "Puppycat?"
Her voice was so small, and even though he knew it was filled with the same wonder as her eyes were, he couldn't help but feel nervous. Why would he feel nervous? He… wasn't too sure.
Maybe she would end up liking his horribly 'cute' monster form than his original cool form?
"Yeah?" He finally said again, after a minute of silence.
He pointedly ignore the Wizard family that was staring at him with mixed emotions.
"Where… can I get that cool cape?!" Bee gasped. "Aw man the inside is like! Space! Look at those stars! Aw man oh man aw man I don't think I ever wanted anything in my life so bad!"
He blanked for only a brief moment. Then he let out his biggest shit eating grin.
Cool! She said his cape was cool! Finally, he was able to show off that he was as cool on the outside as he was on the inside again.
"I know right?" He bragged. "It really is cool. Not only does it look cool, but feel it."
His hands (hands! Not paws!) grabbed the edge of his cape to hold out to his roommate and friend. He could see the stars sparkling in her eyes as she touched the fabric. He himself reviled in the feeling of his cape, not having felt it in years.
"Woah…" she breathed out. "Where can I get one?"
The alien shrugged. "Dunno. As far as I can tell this is the only one in existence." He said in his deep smooth voice.
Man he missed his old voice. He felt a twinge of sadness with the realization that he spent so long with that high pitched one he had forgotten what his original voice sounded like.
"Wait what?" Bee looked back up at him in shock. "You serious?"
"Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaap." He drawled out. He even popped the p. "Sorry Bee. Also I can't take the cape off. It's attached to the suit."
"Seriously?! Aaaaaaghhhhh that ruins that dream."
He laughed at her pouting.
But soon he was able to make a comment to make her laugh, and it felt… almost normal.
Sometime after that they were eventually all herded to the Wizard's apartment, and they would discuss what the flying hell had just happened. That yes he was Puppycat, no he was never Bee's pet he paid rent for crying out loud. Not to mention he would give a smug smile to that Deckard guy saying how he told the human he was taller and funnier than him after telling a round of jokes to Bee.
He felt such sweet satisfaction at the fact she had laughed at every single one.
But that was in the future of perhaps an hour or so. For now he and Bee were smiling at each other, surviving from shitty stupid warlocks that accidentally fixed a weird mistake.
Look at me in the eyes and tell me Bee wouldn't bee flabbergasted by the fact Puppycat was originally tall and had a deep ass voice.
