I have been working on some sci/fi fan fictions for warehouse 13 and would it be ok if I posted them here? Wanted to ask before I start the story thread.

Thanks for your help,

Hey - welcome to ! Glad to have you with us.

There is no problem posting Fan Fiction on this board. I'm thinking the best way to do this is to have this as the designated board Fan Fiction thread - you may post your story here, and I will change the thread's title accordingly.

Once again, welcome to FF, and I look forward to reading your story!

If anyone else either has written or read any good sci-fi/fantasy fanfic, feel free to share it here.

Man of myth and Legend
"Come on Pete don't be so annoying the sooner we get to aisle twenty six four b the sooner we can get out of here. You’re in your room watching the game on your big screen tv and me outside on the porch watching the stars come out with a good book and some tea."
"You know me too well Myka but yet you should be having more fun than sitting alone on a porch with a dusty old book. Myka you need to get out."
"I'll make a deal with you Pete if you get your mind back on work and if we finish at five o'clock I'll join you at the local bar for a soda and I'll be buying the Pizza all night."
"Making free pizza an incentive good tactic Myka I admire that."
"So is it a deal or not Pete? I wouldn't think you would be able to pass up free pizza."
"Your right I can't it's a deal Myka wait we have to shake on it." He says as she comes back over to him."
"Oh this is silly but alright." Myka says extending her hand to him as they shake hands sealing the deal.
His mind back on the Job at hand and on free pizza and leaving the warehouse Pete moves more quickly down the aisle in taking an inventory. Eagerly wanting to finish his half of the work and to leave the warehouse and enjoy free pizza.
"Glad to see your more focused Pete."
"With proper motivation I can do anything."
"In this case the motivation being free pizza?"
"Precisely but there's more to it than that Myka."
"What might that be?"
"The free beer yes but also the thought of you losing a bet to me is an even more hilarious thought."
"Pete you are impossible." Myka says sighing.
"Ahhh ouch!" Myka says almost tripping.
"Focus Mika don't let him irritate you so badly he is nothing but an annoying over grown child." She says to herself.
Alone over in another aisle Pete continues working on the inventory assigned to him.
"Get back to work Pete oh she needs to get out more and loosen up a bit and have fun once in a while." he mumbles.
"You need to have some fun Myka once in a while rather than hiding in books all the time."
"I have fun in my own way Pete." she grumbles back at him.
"Sticking your nose in a book that you in a nut shell Myka."
"And you the over grown kid who can't concentrate on anything for more than a second."
"Lighten up Myka I'm only having a bit of fun."
"Sometimes I think you have too much fun at times Pete."
"There is no such thing as too much fun Myka."
"Well our definitions of fun are two very different things and get back to work Pete."
Getting back to work Pete starts back on the inventory report for Artie shelves that surround him are lined with artifacts and boxes.
Looking around the aisle he is in he sees an artifact that catches his eyes, "Wow this is cool." he says picking up the artifact.
"Wow I didn't know we had this in the warehouse no way this can't be," Grinning he looks at the identification plaque, "Oh it is yes."
Picking up the sword he realizes he is holding the legendary sword Excalibur from the stories of king author and the Knights of the Round Table. Like he had with the other sword Artie had made can't resist picking up and swinging it around entranced the swords beautiful song that it has as he swings it around.
"Put that artifact away Pete and get back to work."
"How did you know from all the way over in the aisle a few away from mine?"
"I just knew so now put it away whatever it is your playing with and get back to work unless you feel like losing a bet not only to me but to a girl." she says grinning knowing she has pushed his buttons well.
"Fine I'll put it away mom." He says sarcastically as he puts the sword back in it's place. "You sure know how to spoil my fun Myka."
Placing the sword back he accidently knocks down another artifact off the shelf with a sea shell with an iridescent blue liquid in it and a drop falls on his feet slowly soaking into his foot.
"Well at least it didn't brake."
"What didn't brake Pete?"
"Just a shell that fell off the shelf I knocked off the shelf when I put the sword back."
"Pete this isn't like at home where you can be careless when you knock something over here you have to be careful Pete."
"Sorrrrry. Oh would you look at this?" He says finishing the inventory just as it turned five.
"It's five O'Clock and the inventory is done you've lost the bet and the look on your face is priceless."
"Yes so I lost a bet big deal Pete."
"I won the bet, I won." he goats dancing around in a mocking way to anoy Myka for fun.
"I am leaving now and going to go back to the entrance to the warehouse and leave you can meet me at Lennas when your done gloating if you want to. It's up to you." Mika says turning to leave
"Ahhh!" he says as pain shoots through his feet.
"What is it Pete?"
"Nothing problibly landed on it wrong when I was running earlier this morning I'm ok."
"Are you done gloating now or do you need a minute more?"
"Well maybe a minute more Myka this is too funny miss got my nose in a book all time looses a bet to me." He gloats as she walks away from him a little bit mad.
" Myka come back I was only having a bit of fun please come back." He asks but she keeps walking away.
Going after her he steps again this time pain courses through his feet, " Myka come back please I need your help!" He shouts.
"Not listening to you your only going to rub this in my face again and I don't need it."
" Myka it's not about the bet I need your help Myka!"
Letting it go she continues to walk back to the entrance to the warehouse, "Pete!" Mika calls. Turning around she doesn't see him following her, "Pete!" She shouts to him.
" Myka please I need your help please." she hears his faint voice call out to her turning to look down the aisle she sees him swaying and stumbling on his feet hearing him fall to the floor she runs to him.
"Pete, Pete!" she yells running to him full speed down the aisle.
Coming up to Pete she sees his face has become pale and he has become extremely weak and light headed.
"I can't walk well I am so weak you have to help me back to the entrance to the warehouse Arties office."
"Ok put your arm around my neck and I'll help you back to the front of the warehouse."
"What no sweet talk or a smile first?" Pete teases his voice weak and labored.
Here's what I was thinking on the story this is a rough summary rough draft of ideas,
Myka helps Pete back to the front entrance of the warehouse carrying him on her shoulders as he hobbles along beside her.

"Sweet talk I don't do that Pete. Lean on my shoulder I'll help you back to Arties office and to the entrance to the warehouse."

"I'll try Myka I'm so weak and tired I feel all my strength is being drained from me."

"Keep taking don't black out stay awake Pete."

"I'm trying but I don't know if I can." he says his voice becoming weaker.

"Were almost there Pete."

Meanwhile in the office,

"Claudia I wish you would have asked me before you built this new computer to upgrade my system."

"Your stuck in the stone age Artie you needed an update."

"There is nothing outdated about my system it has worked for me well for years why change it?"

"Because I'm tired of inventory and I needed something fun to do and besides it's totally user friendly."

"Another hip hop buzz word of youth." Artie says sarcastically.

"Artie." Myka says entering the room with Pete weak and pale resting against her shoulder.

"What happened Myka?"

"I don't know Artie he was playing with a sword and knocked off the shelf and I didn't see what happened?"

"What did he knock off the shelf Myka?"

"It was just a sea shell nothing more than that it looked really old but it was beautiful in a way."

"A shell where were you which aisle were you in?"

"24a section 48f."

"Let me look here to see what is in that section." Artie says going to his computer to look up to see what artifact he had knocked off the shelf.

"Ahhh!" Pete says screaming in pain as the leather in his shoes starts to stretch and strain at the seams.

"Artie what's going on what's happening to Pete?"

"I don't know yet give me a minute."

"Looks to me like he's becoming a big foot." Claudia says quipping.

"Very funny Claudia more of that wavier wit I like so much."

"You don't always have to be so sarcastic Artie you can have a sense of humor about things."

“I will when the situation calls for it but for now this is not the time.” Artie says grumbling at Claudia.

“Woah Artie his feet are getting bigger.” Claudia says as she watches with Myka in startled amazement.

“Don’t rush me Claudia.”

“I’m not I’m just saying as it might be helpful info.”

“Aahhh! Ahhhh!” Pete screams as sweat builds at his forehead as his feet slowly grow out of his shoes and start forming into a fin.


The black leather of his shoes falls to shredded fragments to the floor as his feet grow larger and larger fattening out into two large fins in the place of feet.

“Woah.” Claudia says in shock.

“Pete stay awake try to please you have to stay awake.”

“I’m trying but I don’t know if I can the pain is so great I don’t know how I can stay awake. Ahhhhhhh!” Pete screams again as pain courses through him again.

“Artie his fins are becoming larger can’t you find info on that stone age computer of yours? I told you should try mine it’s faster and you’d be able find things a lot easier.”

“Don’t nag me right now Claudia I’m working here go be annoying some where else.”

“Claudia get a damp cloth for me I need to try to wipe away some of the sweat from his forehead.”

“Right away Myka hold on Pete sorry about earlier I didn’t mean to sound mean.”

“I know you didn’t thank you for staying.” Pete says his voice weak.





Let me know what you think any suggestions or ideas are welcome. Still a work in progress but I do have more to post.

Enjoy the story,

Running off into a small kitchen Claudia comes back to the office with the cloth for Myka. “Here this should help.” Claudia says handing Myka the cloth.

Pale and weak he screams again as his legs are pulled together forming a long tail scales painfully appear on his legs as it is turned a soft dark blue fading to a light blue at his fins.

“Ok I’ve got it 24a section 48f that is were most of the sea artifacts are kept ones that hold great power but in this case this artifact did much more than just making Pete weak.”

“What do you mean Artie in English please?” Claudia says a little sarcastically.

“What I mean is Claudia is that the shell Pete knocked off the warehouse shelf was not an ordinary shell. It was the shell from the story The Little Mermaid.”

“For real?”

“Yes for real Claudia as you say in your own youthful way. It was brought here years ago after the story was written.”

“I know but in the story Artie it turned her into a human so why would it affect Pete this way?”

“The liquid that was in it when it fell on Pete it had the reverse effect on him any human who gets any of that on them would slowly painfully turn into what she was in the story a mermaid but in this case…”

“A merman interesting in an odd sort of way I’m sorry Pete.”

“Ahhh! What is happening to me how am I going to go out tonight like this I’d end up on a fish platter.”

“Well you’re not going out at least not for a while not until we can figure out a way to und this and turn you back into a human again. For now Myka take care of him look after him and try to keep him out of trouble.” Artie says lecturing again.

“Whoa ouch!” Claudia shouts falling over after Pete’s growing fin knocks her off her feet.

“Sorry Claudia.” Pete says his voice barley above a whisper.

“It’s not your fault Pete I’m fine.” Claudia says getting up.

“At least now I won’t have to worry about finding scuba gear if I want to go diving.” Pete says quipping as pain surges through him. “Ahhh!” he screams again his tail becoming longer and scales painfully covering it as he can’t stay away any longer he passes out on the chair Myka had set him in.

“We have to get him out of here but without drawing attention to him he needs to be in water and lots of it how are we going to do this.” Myka says.

“I’m sure if you give me a few moments I can rig something up in Pete’s room for him a way he can still be in comfortable environment.”

“I’m sure if you give me a few moments I can rig something up in Pete’s room for him a way he can still be in comfortable environment.”

“You could Claudia?” Myka asks.

“Yes I can Myka that is if stone age man here Artie will give me permission to do so.” Claudia says turning to Artie.

“Alright you can but don’t blow up Leenas we still need a place to sleep for the night.”

“I won’t blow up Leena’s ok give me a bit more credit than that. I am good at updating things I proved it by upgrading your dinosaur system.” Claudia says quipping back.

“Alright go Claudia be the wiz kid again but be careful and come back immediately after you’re done.”

“Thank you for the permission to go now so I can help Pete Artie. Myka I’ll be back in a while keep him as comfortable as you can. I’ll have his room remolded in no time.”

“Thank you Claudia.” Pete says his voice hardly above a whisper as he grinds his teeth against another wave of pain.

“Stay awake Pete I’ll be back in no time try to stay awake.” Claudia says leaving going towards the door to her El Camino.


Reaching the outside entrance door she climbs into her car along with some of her tools and with her stereo blaring with music she drives to the bed and breakfast. Enjoying the drive she finds herself singing along with the music playing.

Soon reaching the bed and breakfast she pulls up to the door and grabs her tools and goes to Pete’s room. Moving quickly up the stairs Claudia reaches Pete’s room, “Ok let me see what I have to work with here.” Claudia says opening the door as she walks in.

Looking around Claudia thinks for a moment, “Ok I can work with this is going to be cake.” She says with a grin as she knows she’s going to have fun building this.

Building and moving things around soon Lenna comes up the stairs, “Claudia what are you doing to Pete’s room?”

“Sorry about the noise Lenna but there is a unique situation here and I need to remodel Pete’s room to make it more comfortable for him.”

“What’s wrong with the way things are now?”

“It’s not well…” Claudia says.

“I’m sure you have a good reason for doing what your doing I’ll leave you to work but if you need anything call for me.”

“Thank you Lenna and hey I’m glad were friends again I didn’t mean to be so blunt earlier.”

“It’s alright McPherson was trying to brake up the team and that includes our friendships. I’m glad were friends again to Claudia and our team is back together again.”

“Thanks Lenna.” Claudia says as Lenna goes back downstairs.

Working for hours Claudia finishes her work, “This is going to be great.” Claudia says as she runs back downstairs to get back into her El Camino.

Cranking up the volume on her stereo again she makes the long drive back to the warehouse. “This is going to great.” Claudia says smiling to herself as she pulls up to the gate finding it open still she drives up to the warehouse.

After parking her car next to Pete’s car she goes into the warehouse happy and grinning at her latest feet of ingenuity.



“Pete wake up you have to wake up please try.”

Waking up for a moment he can hardly open his eyes he is so weak, “Myka.” He says his soft voice hardly auditable.

“Pete.”

“Hey Myka….” Pete says his voice still very weak and soft, “Hi your still here?”

“Yes I am still here I wasn’t going to leave you Pete.” Myka says still dabbing his pale face with the cold cloth.”

“Don’t stop the cold cloth feels good on my face.”

“Glad your awake again Pete.”

“Oh what happened to me…?” Pete says as he passes out again.

“Myka.”

“Claudia your back we have to get him to Leena’s fast he is dehydrated he needs to be in water. Were you able to fix up Pete’s room for him?”

“I was able to yes and he is going to be so comfortable this is going to be sweet.” Claudia says smiling.

“Help me get him into the car we’ll take Pete’s car it’s bigger and will accommodate his new form better. I’ll get him by the shoulders and lean him against my shoulder and you get a hold of his fin and help me carry him to the car.”

“Sure no problem.” Claudia says picking up Pete’s fin, “Wow the color of his fin is really beautiful it’s almost an iridescent blue.”

“It is rather nice looking Claudia but we need to get him to Leenas and into water fast he is so pale.”

Dropping his fin Claudia fumbles to pick it back up, “I’m sorry Myka it’s a little slippery.”

“It’s alright Claudia help me get him to the car.”

“Thanks for not yelling Artie would have he seriously needs to loosen up.”

“He means well he only wants to keep all of us safe and I think he feels bad Pete is this way to.”

“I know Myka I don’t mean to be so hard on Artie at times but he has this way of irritating me sometimes. It’s like he never listens to what I have to say or what ideas might help to improve things around the warehouse.”

Getting out to the car, “Claudia open the door to the car after you set Pete’s fin down but be careful we don’t want to hurt him.”

“I’ll be careful I promise Myka.” Claudia says setting down Pete’s fin down carefully on the ground. Unlocking the car Claudia opens the passenger side door then opens the opposite door and gets in the back of the car moving to the adjacent door.

“Ok I thought his might be easier I can reach down from here and pick up his fin and help you get him into the care safely.”

“Hold on a minute and help me get him into a sitting position in the car then we can both lift his fin and get him into the car.”

“Right that’s a better idea Myka.” Reaching up they manage to get Pete into the car safely so he is somewhat sitting in the seat of the car.

“Ok can you lift his fin safely into the car Claudia?”

“Yes I think I can if you want to get in and sit in the back seat beside him and use the rag here to keep him as comfortable as you can until we get to Lenna’s.” Claudia says handing Myka the cloth.

Closing the passenger car doors Claudia moves to the drivers seat of the car, “Keys.”

“Here catch.” Myka says as she tosses Claudia they keys to the car.

“Thank you.”

“Try to get us there as fast as you can he is really pale and weak he needs to be in water.”

“I know Myka I’ll get us there as soon as I can. And are you giving me permission to drive like a race car driver here?” Claudia says with a bit of humor in her voice.

“Not to that extreme but safely hurry as fast as you can. I will try to keep him comfortable as much as I can. This cloth is amazing how did you create this so it would stay so cold and wet?”

“I used the snow globe artifact the one we used to break the stilly string when it stopped the gears in the processing plant for the neutralizer. I also was able to use the regenerative capabilities of the starfish and the cold of the snow globe and I was able create it.”

“Very creative Claudia this is really nice you’re quite an inventor.”

“Thank you Myka it’s nice to be recognized as the genius wiz kid I am someone to fully appreciate my talents.” Claudia says smiling.

“Myka.” Pete’s weakened voice making them more alert.

“Pete your awake hey how are you?” Myka asks thoughtfully.

“Like I have been run over by a heard of elephants but otherwise fine. Could use a cold soda though I’m thirsty my strength is gone I’m…..” he says as his voice drifts off.

“He’s unconscious Claudia he needs to be in the water he’s suffocating his face is so pale he looks like ghost.”

“Were almost there Myka.” Claudia says driving a little faster down the road. Pulling up to Lenna’s Claudia gets out moving to help Myka get Pete out of the car.

“Claudia you get his fin and carefully get it out of the car and I’ll be able to carry him on my shoulder safely.” Myka says as she gets a hold of Pete leaning him on her shoulder as she maneuvers him out of the car while getting out herself.

“How are we going to get him back into his room now?”

“We’ll figure this out Claudia I’ll lean him on my shoulder and take his fin and then follow me up the stairs to Pete’s room.”

“Ok I think I can manage to follow behind you carrying his fin will that work ok Myka?”

“Sure that will work great then we can get him to what you created for him. It’s not a fish tank is it?”

“Oh no not at all but something much cleaver than that Myka your going to like this and so will he.” Claudia says smiling.

Carefully and slowly they make their way up the stairs to Pete’s room, “I left the door open so we can carry him inside easier Myka.”

“Great then we can get him inside safely he is so pale and weak I just want him to wake up and be the Pete that teases me about everything and anything.” Myka says with a soft wavy laugh.

“He only needs to be in water then he will come around and be teasing you before you know it Myka. Not only giving you a hard time but also giving me a hard time to.” Claudia says laughing as Myka smiles and laughs along with her.

Entering Pete’s room Myka asks, “Ok Claudia where do we put him I mean what did you create for him?”

“Get him over to the bed Myka and he will be ok there.”

“It’s looks like a regular bed Claudia.”

“It is supposed to look that way but it’s not a regular bed Myka set him on the bed and you will see what I mean.”

“Ok Claudia I trust you.” Myka says as she sets Pete’s head on the pillow making sure he is ok before Claudia helps her lift is fin onto the bed.

“Claudia this is amazing it’s like water to him but if I put my hand on it’s like a regular bed to me.”

“Yes so the rest of us if we sit on it we won’t get wet. I rigged this up by using a band of sensors that would change the molecules of the bed into water so for Pete it makes him feel like he is in a pool. Also that if anyone of us would sit upon it the feeling of it being a regular bed so then we wouldn’t get wet.”






Will post more soon,

“This is really cleaver Claudia how did you think of this?” Myka asks.

“He needed to be in water which was a no brainer and if anyone else were to sit on it we wouldn’t want to get wet so it was fun to use the sensors to create this for Pete.”

“Thank you for doing this and being such a great help to Pete and to me for helping me get him here.”

“Hey no problem I have to say this Myka this has been quite and adventure. He looks kind of handsome as merman the color of his tale is beautiful the dark blue fading to a light blue at his fins its really beautiful.”

“It is Claudia.” Myka says softly as she stares at Pete for a moment thinking, “He may be childish and obnoxious at times but he really is a handsome man.”

“Myka?” Claudia asks.

“Yes sorry I was trying to think of how we were going to tell him how he has fins instead of legs when he wakes up.”

“No I know that look you were thinking about him to yourself.” Claudia says with a knowing smile.

“Promise I wasn’t anyway we need to do a bit of research and try to find a way to turn him back into a human.”

“I’m on it stay here with Pete and I’ll run back to the warehouse and get some of the books there and see if we can’t find something in any of them to help Pete.” Claudia says heading for the door.

“Claudia.”

“Yes Myka?”

“Thank you again for helping Pete I couldn’t have gotten him here without your help. You’re really smart and intelligent despite what Artie might say at times but he thinks the same thing as I do.”

“I know he does he never says it but I know he cares about me and knows that I am smart and intelligent. I just keep him on his toes around the warehouse and here to because someone has to.” Claudia says grinning and laughing along with Myka.

“I won’t be long Myka I’ll come back with some books and then we can maybe order take out and pull an all nighter looking for info to help Pete.”

“Sounds good Claudia and bring me some more Twizlers along with dinner.”

“Sure be back in a few.” Claudia says leaving Lennas going to her El Camino Claudia drives back to the warehouse singing along to her favorite music.

Enjoying the drive back she turns up her music a bit louder as she enjoys the song she’s listening to. “This song is so cool.” Claudia says smiling as she sings along.

Coming up to the warehouse gate she drives in and parks the car near the door to the warehouse. Going inside she finds Artie in his office turning he faces her with a stern look on his face.

“Oh what did I do now Artie go ahead yell scream at me as you always do.” Claudia says bracing for the loud tone of voice.

“You took the manipulator sensors without telling me what did you do with them Claudia?”

“I needed them besides their harmless they only change the molecular structure of an object to something else. It’s not like I took the wishing pot and filled the warehouse full of ferrets or took the superhero shorts and started to fly around the warehouse.”

“Alright I’ll let this one go but what did you do with the sensors?”

“I used them to create a bed for Pete so that if he is lying on it will feel like water to him and if anyone else does it is a bed to them so no one else would get wet if they sat on the bed. Ok if you want to rant at me some more then fine go ahead.”

“That…is really creative Claudia that is smart.”

“Whoa what? You’re not mad or going to lecture me or anything really?” Claudia says supersized.

“No not this time.” Artie says turning back to his computer.

“Ok who are you and what have you done with the real Artie?”

“Claudia don’t push me.” He says in that tone that says back off.

“There’s the Artie I know welcome back.” Claudia says teasing him.

“What did you come here for just to annoy me or did you have a specific purpose in coming here?”

“I came to get some books to try to help Myka find a way to turn Pete back into a human instead of him looking like the sea food special.”

“Go to the warehouse library and you should find some books there to take back to Myka so the two of you can work together to find a way to help Pete.”

“Thanks Artie.” Claudia says turning to leave.

“Wait do you have the access code?”

“Yeah I do.”

“You have the codes to get into the library?” Realizing what he said he sighs, “Yes from when you hacked the gird to get into the warehouse why I am not surprised Claudia.”

“Precisely Artie that is how I got the code but I would never hurt the warehouse Artie surely you know that by now.”

“I know you wouldn’t hurt the warehouse calm down and go to the library and find the books your hunting for.”

“Thank you.” Claudia says in a quick tone of voice leaving hurriedly from Arties office excited she finally gets to go into the library on her own.

Using the keypad to get in with the code she has gotten when she had hacked the warehouse grid. “This is so cool.” She says as the doors open revealing a huge room filled with every book ever published.

“This is wicked awesome ok now Artie do you possibly have a system for looking up books in here?” Claudia says looking for a computer or something to look up books on.

“Oh Artie you have to update this dinosaur of a computer well at least I have my laptop with me now to use my twentieth century computer instead of this one from the eighteen hundreds.” Claudia says hooking up her computer as she disconnected the other one.

“Now to get into the library database update oh you really need to update this database its stone age software. But no problem I’ll interface it with my new software and yes got it.” Claudia says bringing up the search screen for the libraries database.”

Searching the database she finds some books to take back to Lenna’s for further study. “Yes ok the original story that will give us an insight to the artifact that fell on Pete. Also a few journals to about the mythical sea creatures ok this is a good start I guess time to get the books then to go back to Lenna’s for the rest of the day and night.”

Going down the immensely long aisles she easily finds the books, “One of these days Arite when your not looking I’m going to come in here and update everything this place needs a big overhaul.”

Fishing picking up the books she makes her way back to the front of the warehouse a bit board on the walk back she puts on her head phones and listens to music on the way back to Arties office and to the entrance to leave the warehouse.

“Claudia, Claudia!” Artie says as she is leaving but she doesn’t hear him with her headphones and music going. “Claudia!” Artie shouts louder but still she doesn’t hear him.

“Why do I bother trying to talk to her especially when she has her head in that iPod of hers?” He grumbles to himself as she leaves the warehouse.



At Lenna’s Myka keeps an eye on Pete sitting next to him on the bed Claudia had created she dabs Pete’s face with it thinking soon he will wake back up again. “Pete you have to wake up now it’s time to wake up.” Myka says in a nagging tone thinking he will wake up and tease her about it.

Still his face is extremely pale as he lays there unconscious next to her still Myka talks to him thinking somehow he can her still. “Pete I’m still here and were going to take care of you and turn you back I promise.”

“Myka there you are?” Claudia says coming back upstairs with a stack of books and take out bags in hand.

“Here let me help you.” Myka says getting up and taking the books from Claudia. “Why don’t we go downstairs to the table down there it will be easier for us to start researching and reading through these books.”

“Agreed it would be cramped up here to try to work on anything up here I’ll meet you downstairs do you need any help with the books?”

“No I’m fine I’ll be down in a moment.” Myka says as she sets the books down for a moment and walks over to Pete again.

“Were going to figure this out and you’ll be walking around here and annoying me again in no time. I’m just kidding on the last thing I said Pete.” Myka says as she leaves picking up the books to meet Claudia downstairs in the living room adjacent to the balcony.

[Tekqueen]

“Were going to figure this out and you’ll be walking around here and annoying me again in no time. I’m just kidding on the last thing I said Pete.” Myka says as she leaves picking up the books to meet Claudia downstairs in the living room adjacent to the balcony.

“Myka hi ok we have books that I brought from the warehouse so we can look through the books and try to find a way to help Pete.”

“I want to help him we have to find a way to free him from this magic I guess one could call it.”

“We will Myka but first we feast out on Chinese food that’s an order I may not out rank you but still lets eat I’m hungry. I think you are too but your mind is on helping Pete so you’re not going to admit it.”

“Claudia how is it you have such good insight? I am hungry I admit it and yes my mind is focused on helping Pete.” Myka says softly.

“Ok then lets feast out ok we have chicken cashew and beef and broccoli. Which would you like or would you like a bit of both?”

“Little bit of both please are there any egg rolls?”

“Sure I got them wouldn’t be Chinese food without the egg rolls and I have sweet and sour sauce to.”

“Great thank you I’m hungry. Oh how are classes going for you at the university?”

“Totally easy classes I’ll be graduated in two months and I got accepted into the secret service to they have accepted me as an agent.”

“Claudia that’s great your not leaving us are you?”

“No way I like the warehouse full of madcap it’s my home and I can’t leave it I’m happy here.”

“Glad to hear it wouldn’t be the same if you left the warehouse.” Myka says as they finish dinner.

“Why don’t you go rest out on the balcony and I’ll clean up and then we can get to work on looking trough the books to see if we can find a counter spell or magical something to help Pete.”

“Thank you Claudia I’ll be out on the balcony I mean porch come get me when you’re ready.”

“I will go rest for a while and take it easy I’ll come get you I promise Myka.”

Moving towards the porch Myka lies down on a lounge chair and pulls her favorite throw blanket up around her to keep the late night cold air away as she rests her head on the pillow. Closing her eyes she slowly falls asleep on the lounge chair tired from trying to help Pete and trying to be a good agent.
Walking out onto the balcony Claudia looks over at Myka, “Ok ready to go things are cleaned up and we can get to work…” her voice drifts as she sees Myka is asleep.

“Sleep well Myka you need to rest it’s been a long day.” Going back inside Claudia starts to work on looking over the books and trying to find something to help Pete.

Taking a book of the pile she rereads the original story of The Little Mermaid to try to obtain more information from the story to try to help Pete.

“It’s a good story but it’s not helping me at all.” Claudia says grumbling a bit as she closes the book and tosses it aside and takes another off a stack in front of her.

Opening the book its pages are yellowed from the passage of time the words are faded and dull but still readable.

“It looks as if this book might have been some sort of a journal or a book for random thoughts that they wrote down in this book. This might be useful there has to be something in this book for info on helping Pete.”

Reading it she finds a faded hand written entry held within its crinkly pages, “Wait this is useful info yes finally thank you warehouse.” Claudia says smiling to herself. Reading the paragraphs,

Stories of myths and legends have been told for years, falling upon several eager listening ears of all ages. None ever so intriguing as those told of the sea and all the secrets they hold blow the glistening Safire blue waves. No other stories enchant audiences like those of the ones that live below the soft curling waves of the ocean merfolk.

“This is like a journal well almost of a family maybe I can’t tell yet but I’ll figure this out. If I can hack the grid I can figure this out no problem.” Claudia says trying to figure out the words on the pages.

Reading further in the book it says, “One that that a shell was found on a deserted beach long the sand with blue waves washing it up on shore. One picked it up and after a few days they had never been the same almost reliving a story before their own eyes. Like a story being played out before our eyes but different from the one that had been written so long ago. Still they were forever changed without a way of returning to what they once were.”

“Oh there has to be more than this.” Claudia says yawning.

Not able to keep her eyes open anymore Claudia goes upstairs to get some sleep for the night. Going over to Myka she wakes her up, “Myka it’s late you should go upstairs and get some sleep. I have been working for a while but I can’t keep my eyes open any longer I need some sleep.”

“Thank you for waking me up I need some sleep I’m so tired.” Myka says her voice sleepy sounding.

“I am going to keep my door open incase Pete wakes up he might not recall what’s happened to him so I want to make sure he doesn’t get too startled by all this.”

“This is really cleaver Claudia how did you think of this?” Myka asks.

“He needed to be in water which was a no brainer and if anyone else were to sit on it we wouldn’t want to get wet so it was fun to use the sensors to create this for Pete.”

“Thank you for doing this and being such a great help to Pete and to me for helping me get him here.”

“Hey no problem I have to say this Myka this has been quite and adventure. He looks kind of handsome as merman the color of his tale is beautiful the dark blue fading to a light blue at his fins its really beautiful.”

“It is Claudia.” Myka says softly as she stares at Pete for a moment thinking, “He may be childish and obnoxious at times but he really is a handsome man.”

“Myka?” Claudia asks.

“Yes sorry I was trying to think of how we were going to tell him how he has fins instead of legs when he wakes up.”

“No I know that look you were thinking about him to yourself.” Claudia says with a knowing smile.

“Promise I wasn’t anyway we need to do a bit of research and try to find a way to turn him back into a human.”

“I’m on it stay here with Pete and I’ll run back to the warehouse and get some of the books there and see if we can’t find something in any of them to help Pete.” Claudia says heading for the door.

“Claudia.”

“Yes Myka?”

“Thank you again for helping Pete I couldn’t have gotten him here without your help. You’re really smart and intelligent despite what Artie might say at times but he thinks the same thing as I do.”

“I know he does he never says it but I know he cares about me and knows that I am smart and intelligent. I just keep him on his toes around the warehouse and here to because someone has to.” Claudia says grinning and laughing along with Myka.

“I won’t be long Myka I’ll come back with some books and then we can maybe order take out and pull an all nighter looking for info to help Pete.”

“Sounds good Claudia and bring me some more Twizlers along with dinner.”

“Sure be back in a few.” Claudia says leaving Lennas going to her El Camino Claudia drives back to the warehouse singing along to her favorite music.

Enjoying the drive back she turns up her music a bit louder as she enjoys the song she’s listening to. “This song is so cool.” Claudia says smiling as she sings along.

Coming up to the warehouse gate she drives in and parks the car near the door to the warehouse. Going inside she finds Artie in his office turning he faces her with a stern look on his face.

“Oh what did I do now Artie go ahead yell scream at me as you always do.” Claudia says bracing for the loud tone of voice.

“You took the manipulator sensors without telling me what did you do with them Claudia?”

“I needed them besides their harmless they only change the molecular structure of an object to something else. It’s not like I took the wishing pot and filled the warehouse full of ferrets or took the superhero shorts and started to fly around the warehouse.”

“Alright I’ll let this one go but what did you do with the sensors?”

“I used them to create a bed for Pete so that if he is lying on it will feel like water to him and if anyone else does it is a bed to them so no one else would get wet if they sat on the bed. Ok if you want to rant at me some more then fine go ahead.”

“That…is really creative Claudia that is smart.”

“Whoa what? You’re not mad or going to lecture me or anything really?” Claudia says supersized.

“No not this time.” Artie says turning back to his computer.

“Ok who are you and what have you done with the real Artie?”

“Claudia don’t push me.” He says in that tone that says back off.

“There’s the Artie I know welcome back.” Claudia says teasing him.

“What did you come here for just to annoy me or did you have a specific purpose in coming here?”

“I came to get some books to try to help Myka find a way to turn Pete back into a human instead of him looking like the sea food special.”

“Go to the warehouse library and you should find some books there to take back to Myka so the two of you can work together to find a way to help Pete.”

“Thanks Artie.” Claudia says turning to leave.

“Wait do you have the access code?”

“Yeah I do.”

“You have the codes to get into the library?” Realizing what he said he sighs, “Yes from when you hacked the gird to get into the warehouse why I am not surprised Claudia.”

“Precisely Artie that is how I got the code but I would never hurt the warehouse Artie surely you know that by now.”

“I know you wouldn’t hurt the warehouse calm down and go to the library and find the books your hunting for.”

“Thank you.” Claudia says in a quick tone of voice leaving hurriedly from Arties office excited she finally gets to go into the library on her own.

Using the keypad to get in with the code she has gotten when she had hacked the warehouse grid. “This is so cool.” She says as the doors open revealing a huge room filled with every book ever published.

“This is wicked awesome ok now Artie do you possibly have a system for looking up books in here?” Claudia says looking for a computer or something to look up books on.

“Oh Artie you have to update this dinosaur of a computer well at least I have my laptop with me now to use my twentieth century computer instead of this one from the eighteen hundreds.” Claudia says hooking up her computer as she disconnected the other one.

“Now to get into the library database update oh you really need to update this database its stone age software. But no problem I’ll interface it with my new software and yes got it.” Claudia says bringing up the search screen for the libraries database.”

Searching the database she finds some books to take back to Lenna’s for further study. “Yes ok the original story that will give us an insight to the artifact that fell on Pete. Also a few journals to about the mythical sea creatures ok this is a good start I guess time to get the books then to go back to Lenna’s for the rest of the day and night.”

Going down the immensely long aisles she easily finds the books, “One of these days Arite when your not looking I’m going to come in here and update everything this place needs a big overhaul.”

Fishing picking up the books she makes her way back to the front of the warehouse a bit board on the walk back she puts on her head phones and listens to music on the way back to Arties office and to the entrance to leave the warehouse.

“Claudia, Claudia!” Artie says as she is leaving but she doesn’t hear him with her headphones and music going. “Claudia!” Artie shouts louder but still she doesn’t hear him.

“Why do I bother trying to talk to her especially when she has her head in that iPod of hers?” He grumbles to himself as she leaves the warehouse.



At Lenna’s Myka keeps an eye on Pete sitting next to him on the bed Claudia had created she dabs Pete’s face with it thinking soon he will wake back up again. “Pete you have to wake up now it’s time to wake up.” Myka says in a nagging tone thinking he will wake up and tease her about it.

Still his face is extremely pale as he lays there unconscious next to her still Myka talks to him thinking somehow he can her still. “Pete I’m still here and were going to take care of you and turn you back I promise.”

“Myka there you are?” Claudia says coming back upstairs with a stack of books and take out bags in hand.

“Here let me help you.” Myka says getting up and taking the books from Claudia. “Why don’t we go downstairs to the table down there it will be easier for us to start researching and reading through these books.”

“Agreed it would be cramped up here to try to work on anything up here I’ll meet you downstairs do you need any help with the books?”

“No I’m fine I’ll be down in a moment.” Myka says as she sets the books down for a moment and walks over to Pete again.

“Were going to figure this out and you’ll be walking around here and annoying me again in no time. I’m just kidding on the last thing I said Pete.” Myka says as she leaves picking up the books to meet Claudia downstairs in the living room adjacent to the balcony.


Please do let me know what you think,

“Myka hi ok we have books that I brought from the warehouse so we can look through the books and try to find a way to help Pete.”

“I want to help him we have to find a way to free him from this magic I guess one could call it.”

“We will Myka but first we feast out on Chinese food that’s an order I may not out rank you but still lets eat I’m hungry. I think you are too but your mind is on helping Pete so you’re not going to admit it.”

“Claudia how is it you have such good insight? I am hungry I admit it and yes my mind is focused on helping Pete.” Myka says softly.

“Ok then lets feast out ok we have chicken cashew and beef and broccoli. Which would you like or would you like a bit of both?”

“Little bit of both please are there any egg rolls?”

“Sure I got them wouldn’t be Chinese food without the egg rolls and I have sweet and sour sauce to.”

“Great thank you I’m hungry. Oh how are classes going for you at the university?”

“Totally easy classes I’ll be graduated in two months and I got accepted into the secret service to they have accepted me as an agent.”

“Claudia that’s great your not leaving us are you?”

“No way I like the warehouse full of madcap it’s my home and I can’t leave it I’m happy here.”

“Glad to hear it wouldn’t be the same if you left the warehouse.” Myka says as they finish dinner.

“Why don’t you go rest out on the balcony and I’ll clean up and then we can get to work on looking trough the books to see if we can find a counter spell or magical something to help Pete.”

“Thank you Claudia I’ll be out on the balcony I mean porch come get me when you’re ready.”

“I will go rest for a while and take it easy I’ll come get you I promise Myka.”

Moving towards the porch Myka lies down on a lounge chair and pulls her favorite throw blanket up around her to keep the late night cold air away as she rests her head on the pillow. Closing her eyes she slowly falls asleep on the lounge chair tired from trying to help Pete and trying to be a good agent.
