Morning.

The sun's rays shined bright showing signs of spring arriving.

The professor was on the phone with the science ministry.

While at the moment, Charles was helping out [ Name ] with the small garden she had created.

It was like the professor's, but it was more than beautiful, it was heavenly.

After the professor finished his call, the doorbell went off.

The professor went to the door, opening the door.

"Hello professor,"Raoul greeted the old man along with Emile, Maud, and Lucille,"Francoeur reverted again."

The professor nodded motioning for the group to come inside.

"We've completely ran out of the potion, so we were wondering if you could make another please," Emile said walking up to the professor.

The professor gave a whistle as Charles, and [ Name ] came into the room.

"It seems that your flea companion has shrunken once again," he explained,"[ Name ], Charles you know how to make it, please assist them while I pack."

[ Name ] nodded as the two went to get the ingredients.

Within minutes, it was finished. [ Name ] had given it to Lucille who placed the flea on the ground.

With a simple spray, Francoeur was back to his giant flea self.

The professor came out with his suitcases, placing them by the door.

"Excellent. Good work on the first try, you two," the professor complimented.

"Professor? May I ask something?" Maud asked as he nodded," What kind of potion did you use to make [ Name ]'s growth permanent?"

[ Name ], surprised from the question, accidentally dropped an empty vile.

She went to retrieve a broom, sweeping up the mess.

"[ Name ]'s condition wasn't of my doing," he checked his watch," I assure that I have time to tell you of [ Name ]'s origin."

[ Name ] continued sweeping as the professor began:

It was a cold, and windy day in the season of fall.

I was an American scientist that was living by himself, lonesome in his isolated cabin.

I was just finished with grocery shopping when I heard a faint meow in a nearby alleyway.

At first, I thought I was imagining things but that's when I heard it once more.

"Meow."

I went into the alley, and discovered a small kitten, cold, and hungry.

She was on the verge of dying, but I couldn't let that be her fate.

I took the kitten home with me, and nursed her back to health.

We both knew then that we would be together forever.

Years passed, and she had grown into a fully adult cat.

However, I was getting older as well, and needed assistance with my experiments.

So, I hired an assistant by the name of Charlie Charleston.

He was an extraordinary, and very helpful assistant, and of course he was the son I never had.

However as days turned into years, I ceased to notice Charlie grew jealous, and angry.

But, the night, my dearest companion changed, and the other gone.

I was going out to fetch more ingredients for an experiment.

Leaving my assistant to watch over my feline companion.

As I left, he found my notes, and conducted an experiment on his own.

To test it out, he gave [ Name ] a portion of it.

Although, it didn't seem to show affects of it working, it indeed succeed.

However, he tried to add more to it, and eventually, it caused an explosion.

When I return, the cabin was nothing, but a pile of ash, and rubble.

I called out to the two, but I've only gotten an answer from [ Name ].

However, she had completely changed, she wasn't the small cat I've known since her kitten age anymore.

Soon, enough we both fled from the country, not wanting to look back.

"We had soon came here to Paris to live a different life," he finished as the group among him had looks of worry in their eyes.

"But, luckily, I was fluent in French," he said as he grabbed his hat, coat, and suitcases," I'll be off now. The science ministry is waiting."

The group bid the professor farewell all except [ Name ].

After the professor left, Charles comforted her, holding her paw in reassurance.

She gave a soft smile as she turned to her friends.

"I'm sorry for such a act happened to you, [ Name ]. But, your life is here now," Lucille said hugging her.

"We love you for the being you are now," Maud finished.

"I know what this calls for," Raoul announced as they all looked his way.

"What?"

"A small get together. Just us here, we'll watch movies, eat delicious treats. As a way to show that we appreciate our feline friend," Raoul said as he came up to her.

"What do you say?"he asked them as they nodded," How about you [ Name ]? Do you approve of this?"

She gave a smile before nodding,"Excellent! We'll be back here by tomorrow night, best be ready by then."

They bid their farewells as the set off to their places of residence.

However, they did not know of a mysterious stranger lurking, watching as they all took their leave.

"So the professor really is in France, and so is the pest."

"What do you think we should do, sir? Should we go for it?" Another voice said.

"Quiet, you fool. When the time comes, we'll have our revenge."

"Soon?"

"Soon."
