Bonnie walked downstairs in overalls. Really, that wasn't that different, but it indicated one thing: Work.

She stepped up to the bar and placed her hand on the surface. "Bar, can I get something on airflow dynamics, excluding Bernoulli's principle as used for flight?"

When the book appeared, she smiled. "Great. Notebook too?"

It was a binder, thick - like the one Kitt had, she noticed.

Well, the one Kitt had had. This one just happened to say "KARR" across the front instead of "KNIGHT".

Bonnie smirked. "Yeah, yeah..."

But with her book and her notebook and the coffee that obligingly appeared as well, she sat down and began to pore.

"So I heard that you had a surprise visitor," Michelle gives her a small smile.

Bonnie had her pencil poised, reading while drawing a rather familiar Trans-Am-like shape on a blank sheet in the binder. She looked up with a blink before giving Michelle a smile as well. "Yeeah... Actually, I did."

And it looked like Michelle had finally been told. When Tony hadn't come back, she'd kinda hoped that'd happened.

"Thank you for taking care of him, Bonnie."

She chuckled. "No problem. I mean, Karr got turned female. And Ford. So I kinda understand." Then she paused for a moment. "But I have to admit, I'm a little jealous. He makes a better woman than I do."

"He did? What happened?"

She laughs a little, "Actually, he looks a lot like someone that used to work at CTU."

"He eventually sucked up to the person that did it and got turned back," Bonnie chuckled. "He was a Mustang, poor thing."

Then she tilted her head. "Well... I don't think I've seen anybody that looked like Tony as he is now, but... should I be on the lookout?"

"Who did it and why? And...I still can't believe Tony was *that* stupid. I mean, insulting a witch. I think if I was there, I might have slapped him myself."

She smiles, "No, she's not here, hopefully she won't come here since I had to fire her a few days ago."

Bonnie winced. "Eerk. Yeah, that'd be a reason to hope somebody didn't show up..." But then she chuckled, shaking her head. "I never found out why Tony got turned female. It happened to Karr because he told an omnipotent being he looked silly in a tutu."

"Yeah, not a great moment," Michelle agrees and fails to stifle a laugh at the next thing Bonnie says. "A tutu? Did Meg have something to do with it?"

"I... have no idea," she laughed. "Really. I just know that Karr insulted the tutu, and first he was a Yugo. Then he was a Mustang, and a girl. And damn it--" another laugh "--Karr's at least supposed to be a GM!"

Michelle laughs, "I think being a Yugo would be worse than a Mustang. At least a Mustang is a Ford."

In Michelle's canon - Ford + CTU = OTP.

Bonnie wrinkled her nose, laughing. "But eeeeww... Ford!

"Seriously, though - if I had to pick Yugo or Mustang, I'd pick Mustang any day. But he better at least be a boy mustang."

"How long did it last?"

She waved it off easily. "Less than a handful of days... I think Karr was pretty eager to get back to his normal shape with the sucking up, though."

"Do you think apologizing would help Tony? Not that I think he'd ever do it..." she sighs. "When Karr was...not himself, did he keep his distance?"

"I don't know," Bonnie shrugged. "I don't know anything about the witch that did that to him... Might just be one of those things he's got to wait out. Let's just hope it doesn't take him a full month or anything, eh?"

That'd be hell for sure. A full month of female Tony... She didn't want the job of teaching him feminine hygiene.

"You know... I was too distracted by the fact that he was a she and that there was a really weird truck for me to remember... I think he kind of did."

Oh. God. Tony with a time of the month. Let us hope that never happens.

"I hope so, I'm sure it's one of those 'learn your lesson' type things. But then again, this is Milliways."

She nods, "I mean on one hand it's weird the man I love is suddenly a woman. But on the other, he's much more freaked out about the idea of being near me than I am."

"That's exactly the rationalisation I made when I saw Tony at my door. It's Milliways." She shook her head with a chuckle. "But... Damn."

Yeah, that was a little bit of a frown lurking around her expression now. "And I'm guessing from the way you're talking that he's not pinpointed a 'why' on that, yet..."

Tony apparently is one of the few men in the world who does not have a fantasy of two women being together.

"I'm guessing it's circumstance. So, what are you working on?"

Bonnie wouldn't tell Michelle about measuring Tony for a bra then, as that was patently amusing yet could be dangerous.

"I hope he snaps out of it. Want me to talk to him if I get the chance? And - ah, this..." She chuckled. "This is going to be a new design for Kitt and Karr, which they don't know about yet."

Mostly amusing more than anything else.

"Could you? That would be great Bonnie," she glances down at the book. "Like a present?"

"If I see Tony, I'll do it," she promised, staying away from gender pronouns if at all possible.

"And yeah, kind of. But.. it's going to take a long time in the making. I'm... planning on at least one year. Maybe two."

"Different designs?"

"Something like that," she agreed. "Thus the book on airflow. But with any luck, my designs will actually fit into the bodies they're currently in - a situational modification, to be able to increase speed."

"Do you mean a different shell?"
