A Monster in Paris (OC)

A Birthday Surprise

Francoeur's POV

I was trying to decide what I should do for Hana's birthday today. The boys are with me as we sent Hana on a long errand run with her Aunt Carlotta and Lucille. "We could take her to the top of the Eiffel Tower." Raoul said as I pointed to myself and behind me like Hana was there then shrugged, trying to mention I already did that. "How about you take her the museum?" Emile asked as I shook my head. I didn't want to bore her. "Why not jump around? Show her the city?" Raoul suggested as I shrugged. I motioned that I wanted to take my time to show her the city, but they didn't really understand me. "We really need some help to understand you." Emile said as Raoul gasped.  

"That's it! We can ask the professor to make you human!" He said as I was now interested in this since I'm a giant flea and Hana is a sweet human. I nodded as we stood up and headed to his car, having me get in the back since I'm a bit too big for the front. Once we got there, Raoul and Emile explained what is happening today as the professor agreed to make the potion. "Now, I haven't gotten this right so you'll most likely be a human only for today." He told me as I nodded, taking what I can get. He spray me with a blueish smoke as I closed my eyes, feeling everything change. I started coughing and waved the smoke away as I hear the others gasp. 

"Did it work?" I asked as I realized I just talked and became all jittery. I took off my coat then rolled up my sleeves to my white dress shirt to see that I had two human arms with five fingers each rather than four flea arms with three fingers each. Raoul handed me a mirror as I saw that I who someone with black raven hair, two normal eyes still with red irises, and a tan normal face. I smiled to see the chip in my tooth was still there. "Still seven foot, but hey, quite handsome for a human if I do say so myself." Raoul said as I set the mirror done. "How do you think the girls are going to react?" Emile asked as I rubbed my neck. "One already knows." We hear Lucille say as we saw her walking over. 

"Aunt Carlotta wanted me to check up on you guys. I figured you guys would be here when you weren't back at the Rare Bird. This is basically the only place you guys come to besides the theater." She said as we smiled a bit. "You look great, Francoeur. She probably won't recognize you though. But the white suit will give it away." She said as I chuckled. "Should I switch into a different outfit?" I asked as I tilted my head. "Yes! We could surprise her that way!" Raoul said as we ran out, thanking the professor. We headed back the Rare Bird as I put on my old outfit and took off the mask. "Hana and Aunt Carlotta should be back any minute. We'll leave you two be and have the day to yourselves." Lucille said as the boys nodded. 

"Thank you." I said with a smile as they smiled back and walked out. I decided to hide behind the door so when it opens, she can't see me. Right on cue, the door opened as I smiled a bit, excited to see her reaction. "Thank you, Aunt Carlotta. I had a blast, picking out some more materials for costumes. And getting more pillows" She said and shut the door with her foot as her hands were full. I smiled and moved behind her. "Would you like some help with those, dear?" I asked as she turned around and screamed, tripping over a wig. "Are you o-" I was interrupted by getting hit with a pillow. She started throwing pillows at me as I tried blocking them. "Hana, Hana! It's me!" I said with a chuckle as she held the last pillow. 

She squinted her eyes as they widen with a gasp. "Francoeur?" She asked as I smiled and held my arms out. "The one and only! Master of the guitar!" I said with a wink then held my hand out for her. She grabbed it as I helped her up while she cupped my cheek. "You're a human." She said as she lifted my chapeau to ruffle my hair. "Well, only for today." I said with a chuckle as she kept inspecting me. "Well?" I asked and tilted my head with a smile. "It's something to get used to." She said with a giggle as I chuckled, rubbing my neck with a light blush. "Hey, I hear the carnival is in town. Perhaps, for a d-date-" "I'd love too." She said as I smiled brightly. I helped her take care of her things before putting my white suit back on.
