Mycroft's transformation process has finally worn off, but things are far from back to normal. Instead of two cats lounging in the first floor flat on Baker Street, two little puppies, one dark, one light, sniffed about.

'What’s this thing? This … let’s call it a tail – yeah, tail. Hey! I can can really thrash it about pretty good can’t I? Wow! Wow! That feels great! Doesn’t seem to achieve very much but I’ll probably find out what it’s for later on...'

'John, what are you doing now, other than grinning like a loon?'

'I'm wagging! Oh, it's such fun! You should give it a go.'

'Not sharing your need to look like an idiot. No.'

"But it feels sooo good. Just back and forth, like so.  Hey! Wow! It speeds up on its own... and look, it can go in circles! Now it's a propeller! Having a tail is brilliant! You really should try it.  I... erm...'

"John, are you okay?"

"Yeah... I think I have discovered perpetual motion!"

"Let me see—"

"Hey! What are you doing back there? Get your nose out of my—!"

"But, John, it's for SCIENCE!!!"

"No. Sherlock. No! BAD DOG!"

"What is it now, John?"

"Is that a grey hair at the tip of your tail?"

"Impossible."

"Oh, I dunno—It look's one to me. Perhaps you should investigate it."

(Sigh) "Very well... See it's only—" (Urk!)

"Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip!"  (Sherlock chases his tail)

(Hours later)

"Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip!"  (Sherlock still chasing his tail)

"Sherlock! Stop it, or you'll hurt yourself!"

"Yip! Can't stop now! Yip! So very close! Yip! Nearly there! Yip! I almost got it! Yip!"

CRASH!

"Oh no! If Mrs Hudson catches us, she'll take us to the veterinarian and have us fixed!"

"Yipe!!"

.oOOo.

This was the cutest thing EVER! Seriously. Ever.

Thanks! Puppies bring the cute!

That was hilarious. I do like the idea of Sherlock chasing his tail.

It works for BBC Sherlock, but not for Sherlock Holmes...
Go figure!

May the humour in BBC Sherlock is more visual, whereas Sherlock Holmes is a more intellectual humour. Probably explains why I find writing the former easier than the latter.

I think you're right. And it may help explain why when I try to write BBC!verse, it turns to crack.

Hahahaha, excellent follow-up to the original story :)

[capt-facepalm.livejournal.com]

Thanks! They are not transmogrified into dogs... they're puppies, and that's what makes it work!

[med_cat]

Yes ;)

This was delightful. Well done tribute to Donutsweeper's little gems of clever cuteness.

Thanks! These things are likely to continue until Mycroft demands his Transmogrification Device © (patent pending) back!
