Hi there, people! You wondering what happened at the end of the last chapter? I hope so because you're about to find out! This chapter should make a few of you guys happy, too! Enjoy!
"Oh no..." Dr. C said "This shouldn't have happened!"
Dr. C lifted a hand to his head. It felt huge! His eyes took up most of it, and he could feel two stick-like things rising out the top of his new head. He looked at the others. Link was small again, but he now had his fish-ape features back. B.O.B. was now a blob with one eye floating in his gelatinous form. Insecto was back to his massive bug size. Susan was back to her fifty foot stature with white hair. Which could only mean one thing: He was, once again, Dr. Cockroach.
"This might have been for the better, Doc..." Link told him.
"How is this better?" Dr. Cockroach asked incredulously. "How is having people run away from you screaming 'better?'"
"Doc," Link said as he walked over to the distraught Doctor. "I lived the human life. I got a job and my own place with Insecto. I had to pay for my own things and it was horrible. But here! As a monster, I didn't have to do any of that! The facility gave me food for free. I had a place to sleep for free. I shared this place with my friends for free. Doc, I don't wanna change back."
Insecto made a humming sound to show his agreement. Dr. Cockroach looked around the other monsters in desperation.
"B.O.B.," He said as he turned to the brainless mass. "Do you feel this way, too?"
B.O.B. stared at him blankly before smiling like an idiot and gliding away to find his jello girlfriend. Dr. Cockroach turned to look at Susan who appeared to be avoiding his gaze.
"Susan, my dear." Dr. Cockroach said as he walked over to where she was crouching. He laid his hand on her knee. "How do you feel about this?"
Susan sighed and looked at him. She held her hand out in front of him, and watched as he climbed onto it. She lifted him up so she could look at him. He was looking at her desperately. His eyes searching hers for some sort of answer. Good or bad.
"Doc, I'll miss being human. That used to be my life, but this is my life now. Being here with you and the others. I would never want to leave you guys. You're my family, and I love you guys. I love you just the way you are, Doc. We don't have to be human." Susan said with a blush.
Dr. Cockroach looked at her with a happy look in his eyes.
"Thank you, my dear." Dr. Cockroach said. "I guess I just thought...I thought...Oh, I don't know what I was thinking!"
Dr. Cockroach sighed and sat down on her hand. He put his head in his hands and sighed. Susan looked at him worried and gently rubbed his head. He closed his eyes and gave a slight sigh of pleasure. His antenna wrapped around her fingers.
"Calm down, Doc." Susan giggled. "You keep changing your emotions like that and you're going to explode."
"I can't help it, my dear." Dr. Cockroach sighed. "You just take me for the ride of my life."
Susan blushed and Dr. Cockroach's eyes flew open when he realized what he said.
"Oh my!" He exclaimed. "I didn't say that aloud, did I?"
Susan just nodded her head shyly as she held him. She stopped petting him and Dr. Cockroach held back a whimper. Susan then kissed her fingers and placed them on Dr. Cockroach's head before she set him down and started walking away.
"Goodnight, Doc." Susan called over her shoulder.
"N-Night, my dear..." Dr. Cockroach called after her before he went to bed with a smile on his face and a plan in his mind.
