‘Sherlock?’

‘Not now, John.’

‘Sherlock!’

‘What!’

‘You promised you would give me ample warning and the opportunity to refuse if you ever were to use Mycroft’s Transmogrification Device © (patent pending) on me again.’

‘You also made me promise that I would not wake you up if you had worked a twelve hour shift—‘

‘That does not give you licence to pop me with that thing—‘

‘It’s more of a “ping”, really.’

‘What??’

‘It’s more of a “ping”. The device goes “ping” not “pop”.’

‘THAT IS NOT THE POINT!!!’

‘There you have it, John; this is why I don’t like waking you when you’re overtired. You become tetchy.’

‘You would become tetchy too if someone transmogrified you.’

‘Someone did transmogrify me. I did. See? We are both the same, and now we can investigate the murder of the Queen from the perfect vantage point.’

‘Disguised as bees—‘

‘Technically, transformed—‘

‘Very well. What’s another six hours. Wait, how will I be able to tell you apart from the others?’

‘Quite easily. They are yellow bees with black stripes, whereas I’m a black bee with yellow stripes.’

‘Oh, okay then. Being able to fly is brilliant. How do we get out of the flat?’

‘Through the open window.’

‘What open window? Sherlock Holmes, you put the bumble in bumblebee!’

.oOOo.

I feel, somehow, that my sympathies are with John on this. And Sherlock may have made a slight miscalculation as regards to the ease of stripe identification.

[med_cat]

Yup, 's a bit difficult, having had some practice with striping identification (albeit on Drosophila, not bees)

Your sympathies should always be with the Watson! (No matter the fandom)

Course the rest of the hive will be all "What the hell are those two drones doing out of quarters!" and either chase them back into the cells or cannibalize them.

[med_cat]

Hahahaha, excellent!

"All right. I'll go back to my cell, but porking the Queen is John's department..."

Perhaps I am overtired, but I find this ROFLMFAO funny!! <3!

[capt-facepalm.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you enjoyed! It was a lot of fun to write!

Knowing Sherlock he will get out of this smelling of roses and bee (punn intendedd!) oaky!

[capt-facepalm.livejournal.com]

Hopefully Mycroft will demand getting his Transmogrification Device © (patent pending) back before some other 'accidental misfire' occurs.

Oh dear, Sherlock, will you never learn!!

Love the addition to this !verse, excellent job!!

Thank you once again for letting me play in your sandbox!
It allows my brain the freedom to run amok without the constraints of the ACD universe and the drabble format!

Sherlock, dear...aré you listening to yourself??

[capt-facepalm.livejournal.com]

"I listen, but I do not hear."

[debriswoman]

Two bees, or not two bees?

[med_cat]

Two bees, two bees, and one more bee...:P

[med_cat]

HAHAHAHAHA!

Only you would manage to think that one up :P

Credit goes to Donutsweeper for coming up with the original idea. All I needed to do was hyper-caffeinate and let loose!
