Sorry for taking so long, here's the next part.
We both decided to morph the pet that was sitting on our own beds, so I put a hand on Perry and started to concentrate, Ferb did the same with Steve. They both went limp under our hands, and we both felt the DNA enter our systems, if that makes sense.
Once the DNA was in our system we removed our hands from our pets. I locked the bedroom door, and looked at Ferb.
"Ready?"
Ferb nodded, and we both closed our eyes and concentrated.
The first thing that happened was the bill.
My lips hardened, and expanded out, turning orange on the way.
"Wiocchchchchchch." I tried to say. ((I mean, whoa, this is so attractive.))
Then I turned to Ferb, and would've smiled if I didn't have a bill.
The only thing that happened to Ferb, was that he shrunk to the size of Steve, so there was a lizard sized Ferb in the room.
I felt myself shrink also, and my arm and leg bones changed into the bones of a Platypus. It didn't hurt, though it felt like it should've hurt, if that makes any sense to you. I fell to my hands, and… feel, I guess. The transformation left me with arms and legs that looked like a platypus', and a bill on my face. Something was protruding from my back, and when I looked around I saw the beaver tail come out.
I looked over at Ferb again, to see that he was also getting his tail, and his skin was hardening into Steve's scales.
Finally I started to shrink, my neck shorted so it was like my head was attached to my torso. My body widened, and went into an almost box like state as teal fur sprouted all over my body. I felt my eyes slid apart a bit, and they turned into Perry's eyes.
I was a platypus.
It was not like I expected it to be like.
Whenever I imagined becoming Perry, I always thought of just laying around lazily, without a care in the world. This… was basically the complete opposite. I had a sudden desire to fight the Yeerks, they were evil, they were going to hurt my loved ones, I needed to defeat them, and I needed to put on a fedora. I don't know why a fedora was the hat of choice of a platypus.
((This is so weird, Ferb. Ferb?))
I looked around with my platypus eyes, looking for Ferb, but he was nowhere to be seen. Of course he was a lizard, and lizards were small, not only that but Steve could turn invisible.
((Ferb, where are you?))
((MUSHROOMS!)) Ferb's voice screamed. ((I NEED MUSHROOMS! WHERE ARE THE MUSHROOMS?! MUSHROOMS! MUSHROOMS! MUSHROOMS!))
((Ferb, man, what's up with you?))
((MUSHROOMS!))
((Ferb! Snap out of it! It's Steve's instincts!))
((Whoa,)) Ferb said, appeared out of thin air since he had been invisible. ((That was weird. It was like there was someone else in my head, trying to take control.))
((Those must be Steve's instincts.)) I said. ((That's weird, all I got was a want to fight the Yeerks, and a need to wear a fedora.))
((Well we should probably turn back into ourselves.))
((Yeah, but… uh… Ferb. I just realized that when morphing our clothes, kinda came off.))
((I have noticed that too.))
((Guess we should've put on some skin-tight stuff, like 'Jeet said…)) I said. ((You know, you're a lot more talkative in morph than not.))
((That's because I can't use my blank expression instead of words as I am a lizard.))
((Right, well, let's morph back!))
Once Ferb and I were human, and clothed my cell phone started to ring. I picked it up, and looked at the caller ID.
"Isabella's calling." I told Ferb. "I'm gonna put her on speaker phone." I put the call onto speaker phone. "Hey Izzy, you're on speaker." I told her.
"Oh, good idea! So… what 'cha doin'?"
"Well Ferb and I had an interesting experience with Perry and Steve."
"Cool!" Isabella said. "I had an interesting experience with Pinky! He's a really weird dog, kinda like what Baljeet said about Terry."
"And Perry." I added. "Steve has some interesting instincts though.
"Oh, cool! Well, I was talking to Baljeet and he suggested that we should go to the zoo together and look at some animals that can cause some serious damage." Isabella told us. "We should also figure out what type of animal we'd be interested in seeing so that we're not just walking around all willy-nilly trying to find something."
"That's a good idea." I said. "What do you think, Ferb?"
Ferb gave me a thumb's up.
"Ferb's in, so when are we going?"
"Baljeet suggested tomorrow after school," Isabella said. "Buford said we should go during school, but then Baljeet gave him one of his creepy death glares, so…"
"Yeah, so, tomorrow?"
"Yep! Make sure to look something up!" With that Isabella hung up.
I turned towards Ferb.
"Ferb, I know what we're going to look up today!"
After the second day of school we headed off to Danville Zoo, home of Crikey the Crocodile. Danville Zoo isn't exactly the coolest zoo in the world, it was just a regular old zoo you would expect, but it did have some awesome exotic animals.
"Everyone know what animal they would like to see?" Baljeet asked.
"Yeah, I wanna see a grizzly bear!" Buford announced.
"I think we all knew that." Isabella told Buford.
"Yeah, well, I want to see the falcons! They seem super cool!" I announced.
"I'm looking forward to the black panthers." Isabella told us. "They are so graceful, yet deadly."
"Personally, I cannot wait to see the leopards." Baljeet said. "They use their strong paws and sharp claws to leap at their prey, and kill them with a deadly stroke, so that they can devour them with no mercy!"
"I want to see the pythons." Ferb told us.
"Okay, now that we know what we want to see, let's head in." I said.
We paid the fee to get into the zoo, and upon entering Isabella grabbed a map.
"Looks like this zoo goes alphabetically." She told us. "Each exhibit has a back room where the workers enter, if we can get into those rooms I'm sure that we can get the animal we want."
"Cool, so which animal would be first of the ones we wish to see?" Baljeet asked, looking at the map over Isabella's shoulder.
"Well, the bears are closest, so I guess we'll go see them." Isabella said.
So with that said we headed over to the bear exhibits. Now there were a few choices of bears to choose from, but I'm pretty sure you all know which one Buford chose.
"How am I gonna get to the grizzlies?" Buford asked, peering at the large bear.
"We could sneak in the back, and get in." I suggested. "Like we had planned."
"Right."
So we all headed to the back door. I grabbed ahold of the handle and tugged.
"It's locked." I said, and I turned to my friends. "Now what?"
"I have got it." Baljeet said.
I stepped aside, and watched as Baljeet grabbed a bobby pin from his jean pocket, and use it to pick the lock. There was a click, and the door swung open.
"Wait," Buford said. "You know how to pick a lock?"
"You do not know everything about me." Baljeet told him, smirking, before he headed into the building.
"Was that a call back to what I said to you in France?" Buford asked, following Baljeet into the building.
Isabella, Ferb, and I followed soon after.
The building was dark, as would be suspected, and was full of things to care for a grizzly bear, and on one of the sides, there was a caged door like thing.
"Here," Isabella said, grabbed a thing of meat, and she handed it to Buford. "This will get the bear to come towards you, and I think it's feeding time, so…"
It was feeding time, for the door to the grizzly home opened, and in walked a zoo worker. He was looking down at some papers, and then looked up. He looked down at his papers again, before he realized that there were five teenagers in the grizzly home thing, and he looked up again.
"Aren't you a little young to be working in a zoo?" He asked.
"Uh… yes? Yes we are?" I said nervously.
"Well," the worker said. "It's nice to see young people like you taking an interest in working at a zoo, be careful while feeding Buster. Oh, and you seem to be missing your intern nametags, good thing I have some extras." He pulled out five lanyards with nametags that said intern on them, and gave them to us. "Don't want people thinking that you're breaking into the zoo." He then headed out.
"What?" Isabella asked.
"I think that all of the adults trust us." I said. "Cool, we can use that, anyways." I looked at Buford. "Ready?"
Buford nodded, and headed for the door, he stuck out the meat through the bars. The grizzly came over, almost instantly, and he started for the meat. Buford stuck his other hand out of the bars, and placed it on the bear's head. The bear went into a sort of trance, and Buford took his hand from the bear's head. He gave Buster the meat, so with that done we headed out of the grizzly place.
"Now for our next animal," Isabella said, looking down at the map.
Due to time, I'm not going to tell the story of the rest of us getting our morphs, due to the fact that there was no conflict since everyone thought we were supposed to be there.
Not only that, but I should go pass this off, talk to you later!
