OMG! Soooo sorry about the hugely late update! I had no chance to write after the exams, I had to pack insanely fast so I could leave for home three days after the final one! DX

Then I was absolutely knackered, stuck doing millions of driving lessons, and then dragged on holiday for two weeks! Two weeks without my laptop T_T

Then I finally started to try to continue it, but my little bro (he's 11 btw) kept popping up and reading over my shoulder! Talk about awkward! XC

And then I had to pack to get back to uni!

But now I'm there, unpacked and actually had a chance to finish this chapter! Which is now dome! :D

Ch4

Allen groaned as he felt his stomach throb. He groaned as he rubbed his eyes. "What happened?" He muttered.

Komui was cowering in a corner while Cross looked like he was trying very hard not to laugh.

Allen sat up, blinking as he felt a pull on his chest. He looked down, blinked again and glared at Komui, leaping at him only to fall flat on his face. Allen then noticed his hair had grown insanely long, to about halfway down his back, just to trip him up. He, because he was definitely still a he, was not impressed. Not one bit.

Cross burst out laughing, falling against the wall in an effort to keep himself upright.

Allen cracked his knuckles, glaring at Cross. "This is serious." Allen growled, too angry to realise his heightened ability of italic speech. "I want an explanation, now!"

Komui whimpered in the corner while Cross was backing away.

"Now, Allen… Don't get carried away…" Cross muttered as he reached a filing cabinet.

"I. Am. Female!" Allen shouted.

"Wow… I'd hit that."

Every head turned to see Lavi in the doorway with a pile of forms.

Allen, who had spun around to confront whoever had spoken, gaped at Lavi. His hood was down, unable to cope with the sudden increase of hair.

Lavi recognised him. "Allen?" He shrieked, though he would forever deny it saying he 'gave a manly shout'. "What the hell happened?"

"Komui." Allen growled. "And you will shut up and go away. And if I hear so much as a whisper of this around the Order, I swear to any deity you care to worship that you will be in immense pain."

"Y-yes ma'am." Lavi stuttered, quickly putting the papers on the over cluttered desk. "Sorry ma'am."

Allen pinched the bridge of his nose, gently massaging it. "So... What are we going to do about this?" He asked, trying to keep calm.

"An antidote?" Cross suggested, still by the cabinet.

"I can work on that!" Komui jumped up. "I'll make the reverse! I'll call when it's done!" Komui called as he disappeared through a door behind his desk.

"While that's in progress… I need some… Clothes." Allen muttered as he looked down at himself. He glared at Cross before the man could get any ideas. "Get Lenalee or Klaud Nine or some other female!" Allen growled.

Cross sidled over to the office door and ran for it as soon as he got it open, leaving Allen alone in the room. Allen sighed, holding his head in his hands as he perched on the edge of the desk. He sat there for a while trying to get his thoughts in order, and still was when Klaud Nine burst into the room.

"And who are you?" She asked in a clipped tone.

"Allen Walker." Allen told her.

"Oh, Cross's apprentice…Wasn't he male?" Klaud asked suspiciously.

"Komui managed to fix that." Allen muttered darkly. "I just need a change of clothes, as you can probably tell."

Klaud grunted. "Nothing I have will fit you. You're too small."

Allen felt his eye twitch. "I'm not that short." He muttered as she continued.

"Lenalee's would probably fit, even if the sleeves are too big. I'll get some of hers."

"Fine. Whatever." Allen growled, pacing.

The older woman sent a glare Allen's way, which was ignored, much to the woman's irritation. She growled slightly, slamming the door as she left.

Allen didn't even notice, he was too preoccupied with trying to work out how he was going to survive being a her for the day. He growled, trying to run his hands through his hair, but got his hands tangled for his trouble. He yanked his hands out of his hair, ripping the offending hair either out at the roots or breaking it halfway down the hair. He glared at the mess on his fingers, wincing as he tried to remove the knotted hair, accidentally pulling it tighter. He glared at the hairs, growling as he realised that his newly grown hair was only brown at the bottom, and white from about five inches up. Allen really felt like punching someone. Luckily for him, Komui had decided that it was safe to re-enter his office. Well, luckily for Allen, not Komui.

Allen glared at the shivering scientist, ready to have her- I mean- his vengeance.

"I may have run into the broom cupboard…" Komui said, backing away to a door slightly left of the one he had come out of. "I'll get working on that cure right away!" And he disappeared through the other door. Allen stared after the man, wondering how someone so stupid could have ever gotten so high in the ranks.

The door rattled as Lenalee poked her head around it. "I bring clothes?"

"Thankyouthankyouthankyou!" Allen chanted as she handed them over. He sorted through them, finding a purple skirt, with a matching long sleeved top, lacy pants and something he'd never seen before. He held it up to see it better. "What's this?"

"It's a bra." Lenalee managed to say without giggling, much.

"A what?" Allen asked in a small voice, holding it at arm's length.

"A bra. It holds your, er, boobs up." Lenalee said awkwardly. "Look, I'll put it on for you, Brother will probably have made a cure by then."

Allen made a mewling noise.

"Oh come on! You'll be facing the wall." Lenalee sighed. She spun Allen around so he faced the wall and walked behind him. "Now take your top off. Here, put your arms through the holes- no, that's inside out! Yes, like that. Ok, now sort of place it over yourself… Done? Now I'll fasten it." As soon as she was done, Lenalee let out a sigh of relief. "I'll wait outside."

Allen quickly changed, finishing just as Lenalee knocked on the door. "Come in." He called, pulling on shoes with his back to the door.

"Well; I take back what I said last night."

Allen whirled around to see Cross smirking. "What?"

"You most certainly do have the chest for that dress now."

Allen spluttered for a few minutes before managing to glare at Cross. "What are you doing in here? I was changing."

Cross just raised an eyebrow. "You said I could come in."

Allen's mouth opened and closed a few times before he shut his mouth with a click of his teeth and sniffed. "I was talking to Lenalee."

"Really?"

Allen jumped as Cross's voice came from behind his ear. "Don't do that!" He snapped, even as a warm fluttery feeling went through his torso.

"Why not?" Cross smirked, sliding his hands from Allen's shoulders to his hips. "You're obviously not hating it." He pointed out as Allen blushed.

"It's weird." Allen muttered, squirming slightly. "So quit it."

"That sounds very convincing, only you haven't resorted to violence yet." Cross chuckled, his breath ghosting over Allen's ear, making a shudder pass through him. "Aren't you interested in how it would feel, as a woman?"

Allen fought down the urge to just give in as Cross licked the back of his ear and punched him across the room with his activated hand. "You can wait until I'm male again." Allen huffed.

"Awww, but boobs." Cross pouted, his hands making squeezing motions in the air.

"Not for you." Allen growled, swatting him with a large hardback he'd found on Komui's desk. "Now behave." He instructed the unconscious body of his mentor before sitting on a chair. He put the book down, glancing at the title as he did. It was called 'The complete writings of Roald Dahl' Illustrated by Quentin Blake. Allen cocked an eyebrow, glanced around then opened the book on a random page. Or tried to, the book fell open to the title page of 'George's Marvellous Medicine'. He shrugged and started to read.

He was halfway through eating a dinner that Lenalee had brought him when Komui entered the office. Komui jumped as he saw Allen sitting there reading a book while eating, but quickly walked towards him. "I've done it." He proclaimed, holding the new sludge green liquid over his head in a picture of triumph.

"Yuck." Allen screwed his face up. "That looks disgusting."

"Sadly I can't change the colour in this one." Komui sighed, looking downtrodden. "But it'll fix you!" He declared, instantly perking up.

Allen just sighed, accepting the bottle. "It better." He muttered before taking a gulp. He managed to swallow, before instantly throwing up. "That was the worst thing I've ever tasted." Allen gasped as he tried to catch his breath. Suddenly he retched again, a small black thing shot out, rather than more of the sludgy liquid. Allen blinked, fainting for the second time that day as the back thing started to crawl away, moving very fast for something of its minuscule size. Komui quickly grabbed a left over glass from his desk, trapping the black crawly thing. He transferred it to a plastic container, looking at it suspiciously before putting Allen back on the reclining chair, which was still down from that morning.

Yeah, no smutty goodness in this one...

Hopefully in next chapter? :)
