Gender-bending squirrel

     "Mr. Sharp please report to my laboratory at 300'o'clock"Dr.Barlow's voice from a message lizard
   "Aye ma'am, end message" when the message lizard scampered back inside the ship Deryn sighed and collected her things in her knapsack "Why does everyone always want me Mr. Sharp feed the fleche bats...Mr. Sharp get Mr.Newkirk he seems to be dangling from the side of the ship again" then she realized Bovril was with Alek and she was talking to herself.
Walking through the corridors of the Leviathan she felt...Odd. The doctor had been in a fantastic mood here lately, Count Volger has hardly been threatening to revile her secret anymore, and Alek had been acting weird. Like whenever she got off duty he was there to walk her to lunch, dinner, her cabin, and it was like he was always there. For example when she tripped in the engine room the other day he was there to catch her before she even hit the ground. Maybe he knew-no that's crazy!
When she reached the doctors room she rasped her knuckles on the door a few times/
   "Come in" chimed the doctor's voice. When she walked in the room Alek was standing in the middle of it with Barlow in front of him, and she was holding thins kind off squirrel creature.
    "Oooo, what's that going to throw nuts shells at us?"She said jokingly. Dr.Barlow just rolled her eyes and said
    "Thank you Mr. Sharp, "Alek was just laughing, well, it was more of a giggle like the type lassies do on dates.
     "Now lads this is our new gender-bending squirrel! And I will be testing it on you!"
will that the doctor gave the squirrels tail a wee pull and it emitted a loud BWAAAA! And before you knew it Alek was in a dress and corset ...with ditties! While Deryn could tell by the sagging bandages on her chest she was really Dylan now!
      "Must not have worked in you Dylan" Alek said starring at his chest. Deryn coughed awkwardly and said
      "A-Aye that's It." she was embarrassed; thankfully Newkirk dofused his way into the conversation
       "Hey gorgeous what are you doing out of the kitchen" Deryn could punch him Alek just scoffed
       "In your dreams Newkirk"
       "Alek! Dude what happened to you?"He was wigging out.
       "Ask her!" Alek said gesturing to Dr.Barlow and the squirrel. With that Newkirk grabbed the squirrel zapped himself then ran into the crowded corridor and zapped everyone in there. Deryn heard random shouts of "Newkirk you ninny" or "you idiot look what you've done" but her favorite part of this whole incident was a "women" in her mid 40's with grayish black hair and a sharp nose enter with Newkirk's ear in his hand and the G.B.S in his other say
        "What's the meaning of this boy?"Volger.IN. A. DRESS. There was a god after all.
Barlow was practically on the floor with laughter. With a growl Volger said "We'll see how funny it is when were calling you Norm, Nora!" BWAAAA! Dr. Nora Barlow was now Dr. Norm Barlow.
         "HAHAHAHAH! Still funny!"
