A few hours later & no one out of the three of them had an answer for the sudden appearance of Mark's fangs. The only thing that really happened was Mark some how growing claws from his nails. Which in turn kind of freaked him out. But a few cuts & several deep breaths later they calmed down enough to try to figure this out.

"Scientifically speaking...it doesn't make sense." Bob muttered.

Mark looked at Bob, "I get that, Bob." He couldn't say he wasn't just a touch agitated simply because he was so on edge about this whole thing.

"Well...what could have caused this?" Wade questioned still looking at Mark's claws.

"Fuck if I know." Mark frowned & carefully ran a hand through his hair.

"Mark, what's that?" Bob pointed toward the shelf.

Mark creased his eyebrows & looked over at the cat statue Bob was pointing at. "It's just an antique a fan gave me..." he trailed off as it clicked. "Oh my god..."

"What?" Bob & Wade said at the same time.

"The statue...it must be cursed or something. I scratched myself with it yesterday & it made me sleepy so I took a nap & missed picking you guys up & now this." Mark explained rather quickly.

There was long pause before Wade spoke, "So, you're turning into a cat?"

Mark pressed his lips together, "I guess so."

"Fantastic, how do we stop that?" Bob looked at Mark.

Mark shrugged & sighed.

Bob rubbed his forehead & looked to Wade, "Wade, take a picture of that thing & I'll start asking around on some antique sites. Maybe I can find something about it."

Wade nodded & did this.

In the next hour, Bob hadn't found anything more than clues that lead to dead ends. In the same amount of time Mark's nose had gained a pink hue & a pretty cat-like shape. Not to mention that his pupils had become slitted. Unfortunately he still seemed to need his glasses, which Wade annoyingly pointed out as being logical. Not every cat had perfect sight. This, of course, earned him a pillow to the face.

Another hour passed & Mark ended up ordering pizza for them to eat while waited & hoped for something to come up. To Mark's dismay, something did. While they waited for the pizza to arrive Mark started to feel an itching & tingling sensation in his ears. He scratched at both his ears as carefully as he could but it only got worse. It got to the point of driving hims insane & causing Wade & Bob to become rather concerned.

"Mark, are you okay?" Wade questioned.

"Ah! No, I'm not frick a fracking okay!" Mark scratched more at his ears, it was the kind of itch that he desperately wanted to relieve, but just couldn't reach.

"Mark, you going to make yourself bleed." Bob reached over & grabbed Mark's wrists to pull them away.

Mark resorted to shaking his head, but that did virtually nothing. He squeezed his eyes shut trying to ignore the irritating sensation. However, after a few moments it stopped. He sighed in relief.

"Uh...Mark."

Mark opened his eyes hearing Wade & noticed his & Bob's awed expressions. Oh god, what else had changed about him? Hesitantly he pulled his hands back & reached up to his ears. Or at least where his ears should have been. Where the hell were his ears?! And how the hell was able to hear anything if he didn't have ears?! He moved his hands up a bit & found two furry things sticky out of his hair. He paled & lightly bit his lip. Cat ears. He had grown cat ears. He cringed a bit when they twitched at his touch. He nearly fell off the couch when the pizza delivery guy knocked on the door. He ended up digging his claws into a nearby pillow, which Bob & Wade were thankful for.

"Uh...I'll get it." Bob got up & took the money Mark passed him.

Mark sort of hid in front of the couch not really wanting anyone other than Bob & Wade to see him like this. Granted that pretty much all the fan girls & boy would probably explode if they did though.

"Could I...I mean would it be okay if I...touched them?" Wade asked quietly. He was actually pretty fascinated by the twitchy ears his friend had sprouted.

Mark glared at Wade, "What?! No!"
