CoCo

Chapter 15

"Why can't I go watch it happen?" CoCo whined, crossing her arms.

"Because, zere vill be many Tediz vitnessing zis event. Zey mustn't see you," Kriplespac said.

"But why," CoCo complained. "Who cares if they see me? I'm not scared of them anymore."

"No, zis is an entirely female-free environment. If zey see you, zey vill be jealous and make you do stupid zings like Scott did vhen he first saw you. You vill only be a distraction to zem. Ze vork zey do here is serious and dangerous business."

CoCo made a huffy face. "No fair. Why does this place have to be so chauvinistic? Just because I'm a woman you think you can lock me up in this bedroom all day like some kind of damsel in distress? Well, I'll prove to you all that women can be fierce!"

Kriplespac snorted. "No zey can't! You have a pussy, zerefore making you one!"

CoCo gasped in horror. "I am wounded!" she exclaimed, holding her hands over her chest. Then she smacked Kriplespac across the face. "How dare you! You take that back! How would you like it if I said, 'You have a dick, therefore making you one!' Does that seem fair?!"

Kriplespac rubbed his cheek, where she slapped him. "Okay, I deserved zat one. But you're still not going to ze lab to vatch me test my new legs."

CoCo whined and stomped her feet like a little brat. "But it was my idea to give you those legs! You should be thanking me right now! What the hell?!"

Kriplespac put his hands on her shoulders. "Look, CoCo, it is for your own good, okay? I'm ze boss around here and you have to do vhat I say. I'm very grateful zat you vant me to have legs again. Danke sehr, but I don't vant you come. Do you understand?" He pushed her chin up so she would look him in the eye.

"Yes," she answered, reluctantly. Her eyes wandered. "But I still really wanna go with you."

Kriplespac sighed. "I know you do. Now look at me."

She looked him in the eyes.

"I go," Kriplepac said, gesturing to himself. "You stay." He pointed at her. "No following." He shook his finger from side to side.

CoCo sighed and gave in. "Okay, I won't follow you." She looked at the floor.

"Good girl. Now stay here until I get back." And then he left.

But CoCo had a plan...

Scott was keeping guard outside her door again. She waltzed up to the door and softly knocked.

"Oh, Scoooott!" she called, flirtatiously. "Would you do me a little favour and let me go watch Krip get his legs? Pwease?"

"Nuh-uh, no way!" Scott snapped. "I'm not falling for your little tricks again. That stunt you pulled last time nearly got me decommissioned. Give it up, you're not coming out."

"Please, Scott, I must see this happen. I love him and I want to see if he likes his new legs! I'll even let you grab my goodies!" CoCo begged.

"Excuse, what did you say?" Scott asked.

"That's right, you heard me! I said, 'I'll let you grab my goodies!' Now let me out! I'll be careful this time, I promise. I hafta see this!"

"No, no, before that, what did you say before that," Scott said.

CoCo scrunched up her nose in confusion. "I said that I loved him and wanted to see his legs?"

"You're in love with Ze Professor?!"

"Yes! Now please let me out!"

Scott sighed. "Boy, oh boy, I don't believe I'm doing this..." He unlatched the door. "But I'm coming with you this time. Just to make sure you don't fuck up."

"Oh thank you, Scott!" She embraced him with a big hug.

"Whatever," he said flatly, rolling his eyes. "Do I still get to grab your boobs?"

Scott took CoCo up to the rafters of the lab, where her last "secret mission" failed. Scott made sure she didn't make a sound or fall off. Kriplespac's surgery was about to start. About ten Tediz surgeons were down there with Simon as leader, telling them what to do.

Coco tugged on Scott's pant leg and pointed. "Look!" she whispered. "It's Simon!"

"Yes, I know! I see him!" Scott whispered angrily. "Now be quiet!"

CoCo obeyed. She watched with great excitement as Simon preformed a successful surgery. All they had to do now was wait for Kriplespac to wake up. And sure enough, he did.

"How do you feel, sir?" A Tediz Surgeon asked as Kriplespac opened his eyes.

"Can you move them?" Simon asked.

Kriplespac grunted with effort. He managed to wiggle them around.

"Don't try to stand up yet. Take your time to get used to them."

Kriplespac adjusted himself to the legs. Slowly, he swung them over the side of the cot he was laying on.

"Careful now, sir. No brash movements."

His feet touched the floor. Cautiously, he started to put his weight on them. Everybody in the room stopped breathing. Kriplespac lifted his hiney off the bed. He was standing! A huge sigh of relief was exhaled throughout the room, but it wasn't over yet. Walking was going to be the real challenge.

"Just one little baby step at a time, sir." Simon reassured.

Kriplespac put one foot in front of the other, staggering only a little. eventually, he was able to walk around the room with ease. It had been so long since he had used his legs. He missed them so much. At the site of Kriplespac walking, CoCo gasped and threw her hands over mouth.

"He's walking," she cried silently. "He's really walking!"

Scott smiled. "Well, I guess it is time for you to back to your room. He'll be up there any minute to show you." And so, Scott took CoCo back to her room where she patiently waited for Kriplespac to arrive.

CoCo sat on the bed and twiddled her thumbs and toes as she waited for Kriplespac. Sure enough, he appeared. He waltzed through the door with a big smile across his face. CoCo was amazed! His legs looked even better up close.

"Wow! You have legs!" She got up and examined them.

Kriplespac enjoyed her admiration. She straightened up and looked into his beaming face.

Kriplespac put his hand on her cheeks. "Danke, danke! Vielen danke! Zis is ze nicest zing anybody has every done for me! Danke, CoCo!" He pulled her body close, hugging her tightly. Since Kriplespac had his legs, he was now taller than CoCo. Her face scrunched up against his chest. She listened to his beating heart. She placed her hand on his collar-bone and made tiny circles with her index finder.

"Krip? Can you do me a favour?" she asked, still making the circles on his chest.

"Ja, CoCo?" he said, looking down at her.

CoCo pulled away from him. "Could you take that lab coat off and put this on?" She pulled out his old shiny black Tediz Leader uniform out of one of the drawers in the desk. Her eyes sparkled. Kriplespac nodded and took his uniform. CoCo turned away as he undressed. She bit her lip in excitement.

"Okay, how do I look?" He asked when he was finished.

CoCo turned around and nearly choked on her own saliva. He looked devishly handsome, standing there in that uniform. She had always wished to see him wear it and now her fantasy was real. A single tear escaped her eye.

"You look...wunderbar!" she exclaimed and jumped for him. He caught her and held her close again. He petted her hair as she buried her face in his chest. "Oh, Krip, honey...You look so sexy in this uniform...with your legs. Looking at all them photographs, I thought I would never get to see you like this in person."

"I never zought zat I vould ever vear zis uniform again, either. Or be able to use my legs. But you gave me back vhat I lost. I am forever grateful to you, CoCo. You don't know how much zis means to me. I feel just like my old self again!"

CoCo looked up at him and smiled softly. She giggled. "Just think, now you'll be able to dance with me!"

Kriplespac grinned. "Ja...Ja I vill..." He pulled her close and kissed her passionately.
