He wasn’t supposed to go to sleep!
He jumped out of bed.
He checked himself over. He was still a boy.
He looked at his clock. 3:45. He had been asleep less than five minutes.
That wasn’t enough time to turn into a girl.
He backed away from his bed and knocked over his desk chair. As he set it back up, he found himself staring at the ugliest face in the world!
He screamed.
He quickly covered his mouth.
It was just General Jackson. Safe in the glass cage.
That shouldn’t have scared him. “I’m not afraid of a lizard,” he said.
Girls are afraid of lizards.
He looked right into the eyes of General Jackson. To prove he wasn’t afraid.
“You don’t scare me,” he said.
General Jackson stuck out his tongue.
“How gross!” said Marvin.
He covered his mouth again.
Girls think lizards are gross.
“I don’t think you’re gross,” he told the General. “I don’t. I really don’t. In fact, I think you’re cute.”
He covered his mouth.
Girls think lizards are cute.
He ran to the bathroom.
He looked at himself in the mirror.
He tried to look just at his face. Not the hair. Not the Ninja Turtle pajamas. Just his face.
It looked just the way it always did.
Except something about it was different. He rubbed his eyes. It was sort of … pretty.
He studied his face. He had a girl’s nose!
As he looked at it from every angle, he became more and more sure of it.
“Oh my gosh,” he said. He bit his finger.
“Hi, Marvin,” Linzy said sleepily as she entered the bathroom.
Marvin could see her in the mirror. “Linzy, can I ask you something?” he said.
