I have a weakness for gender bending. It's almost as bad as my weakness for M-Preg and my weakness for the girl in the relationship wearing girl clothes (if they can pull it off, that is). So, hence, the first part of gender bending.

Disclaimer: Anybody that you recognize is not mine. Everyone else is up for grabs.
Pairing(s): Balthazar/Dave, one-sided Drake/Dave
Summary: Drake Stone wonders why on Earth Danielle's not attracted to him. A hint at BalDave, but it's there.

4. DIFFERENT - She wasn't the usual girl that he went for - after all, not only was she wearing a tank top with a "nerd" saying on it, a windbreaker, jeans that needed replacing and gym shoes that weren't flatting on ANYBODY, and let's not forget she was a Merlinian as well - but when Drake Stone saw Danielle Stutler, physics nerd extraordinaire, in the bathroom yesterday, he had felt something inside him that he had never felt before. He actually wanted to get with the girl, and not just in a sexual way. Granted, that would be just a teeny bit hard since a) She had no idea who he was before he had accosted her, b) She now knew he was a Morganian that was supposed to kill her and take her ring, and c) She was now freaked out of him thanks to him getting right in her personal space bubble. Now the third one he could understand-that was all his fault, and he had been trying to intimidate her, so thinking that she'd immediately want him after that was pretty silly of him. But after he saw how concerned Balthazar was for her and how she seemed to cling to him (before Balthazar had knocked him out, that is), Drake just couldn't understand why she was attracted to Balthazar Blake.

I mean, really - he was DRAKE STONE. Women CLAMORED to be with him. He KNEW he was good looking. Why did she want that old man Balthazar! He was...OLD! And he wore (and this thought was followed by a shudder) OLD MAN SHOES. He could at LEAST get with the times and get better looking magic shoes!

With a quiet sigh, Drake listened to Horvath as he went about his plans, his mind quickly going back to the little "nerdette" as he had dubbed Danielle. Ah, Danielle...such a pretty name for a real-life Cinderella. Now, if only he could get her attention off of Balthazar and on to him...

I think that Dave would make a pretty girl. And by pretty I mean Cinderella-who-needs-a-lot-of-work pretty. But he'd be pretty nonetheless. Yeah...I'll stop fantasizing about a female Dave. #continues to do so# Mmm, girly-Dave...as if male-Dave wasn't enough...8D

I seem to be getting a lot of hits and only a few reviews. I know you guys hate people that beg for reviews, but really, it's not that hard to click the "review" button and say "Love it" or "hate it" or something. It makes us authors/authoresses feel appreciated. That said, thanks to Nadiee for reviewing, and may you never lose control of your brooms. :D

Also, next chapter is another gender bender one, this time dealing with Danielle Stutler, an established relationship between her and Balthazar, a skirt, a hidden mirror, and Balthazar being a perv.
