Another sunless day in the sub basement of solitude. Max had slid down the pole to check on his favorite now teenage genius. "Geek! What is up my girl?" he said, walking over to her. "Not now Max, I'm busy!" the redhead responded, dropping a green liquid from a pipette into a violet liquid in a flask. Max looked. "Whatcha doin?" "I'm conducting an experiment with animal cell fusion." she responded, not breaking her concentration. Max watches. "Oooh, what's that?" Once the liquid is combined, the geek puts down the empty pipette and looks at him. "I'm trying to combine small amounts of different animal's DNA in order to further scientific research and help with the discovery of knowledge."
Max looked at her with a blank stare, he hadn't understood one word she had said.
The geek rolls her eyes. "I'm mashing different animals together so we can study them better." Max nods. "OHHHH." he giggles. "That sounds cool!" The geek goes back to her work. "I'm almost finished with the experiment..." She takes the pipette again and gets an orange liquid from a test tube and starts to drop it into the flask. "This is the last one!" Once all the orange liquid was gone, the end result was a flask full of rainbow colored serum. Geek smiles, picking it up.
"Now all I need is a test subject..." she wonders. "But anyone I ask probably won't do it.. they'll think it's too dangerous..." she keeps wondering.
"Ooh me! Pick me!" Max waves his hand. "I wanna be your test subject!" the geek shakes her head. "No max, I'm not combining YOUR cells with anything." Max makes big eyes. "Pleeeease, geek? The plot won't advance until you do!'' The geek looks at him and sighs. "Fine... since I can't find another subject and the project needs to be finished, I guess you can be the guinea pig..." Max jumped up and down. "Yay!" the geek grabbed him and covered his mouth. "ONLY if you promise to stay still!" Max nodded.
Geek sighs and sets him on the table. Max hums as the geek gets the serum ready. Max kicks his legs and hums. "I said stay still!" geek says as she walks over, stirring the serum with a wooden popsicle stick. Max stops humming and swinging his legs. "Okay, open your mouth and stick your tongue out. Max does. Geek uses the stick to put some of the rainbow serum on his tongue. "Okay, now swallow." max does so. "Okay, now we wait a few minutes..." the geek says. Max nods and waits.
A few minutes pass. "How do you feel?" geek says, holding her pen and clipboard. Max looks at his hands. "I don't feel any different than normal...?" geek looks at her clipboard. "Hmm... maybe I added the ingredients wrong..." she goes back over to the chemical table.
But as soon as she turned away, Max started to feel funny. "Geek..?" "not now max..." the geek says as she tries to retrace her steps to see what she did wrong. "Uh, geek...?" Max says as his fur starts to turn funny colors. "In a minute max!" Max stands up. "GEEK!" the geek groans and looks at him. "What is it max?" but her jaw drops when she sees Max's transformation.
His fur not only changed different colors, but sprouted feathers, scales, and even fell off in some places. The end result was a mishmash of different creatures, but Max still had his head, although his nose had turned from pink to a grey blue.
His left ear was blue and had fish scales, his right ear was red with feathers, his left arm looked like sams, his right arm was light green and had claws like a lizards, his left leg was yellow and had 3 claw toes like a chickens, his right leg was striped and had paw-toes like a cats, his tail was dark green and scaly like an alligators, and finally his torso was a sleek grey and had gills, like a sharks.
"Oh my word max!" the geek said as she smiled. "The experiment was a complete success!" She examined him all over. "Hey, hey, watch the ears!" max said, batting her hand away from his feathered ear. Geek takes some pictures of him. "Oh man, wait till those old "she-can't-do-cell-fusion" crones hear about this!" She goes to upload them to her computer.
"So, uh.. What do I do now?" max said, having no apparent reaction to suddenly becoming a mishmash of creatures. "You stay still!" geek says as the files transferred. "Screw that, I'm gonna go show Sam!" Max says as he hops off the table. "Max wait-" the geek says. Max giggles. "I think I've done enough waiting for today." he says as he goes into the elevator that geek had installed so Sam and max would stop crashing into her lab. "Max, please don't cause mass amounts of chaos!" geek says in vain. "Haha, I'll try my best!" Max said as the elevator closes and goes up, up, up, leaving the geek alone in her thoughts.
"Dear lord What have I sent upon the world..."
