Out of juice

"Can you change him back now?"

"Right! Yes! Of course," Walter says as he starts fumbling with the device.He points it at Klackner and starts pressing buttons, but...

"Um..." Walter blushes.

"What?" Martens asks.

"It... it's out of power... We must have used it all up with that last demonstration," Walter nervously looks away.

Klackner's eyes go wide in shock. Looking at his new form, he wanted to rage at the unfairness of the situation, but simply settled for shouting at the men responsible for changing him, his eyes glaring at them with urgency and humiliation.

"YOU MEAN I'M STUCK LIKE THIS?!"

"Yes, technically," Said Walter, "And unless we recharge it, you can't change back."

"Oh, come on," Said Klackner, "I admit, it's fun pretending to be a girl, but I do wanna be able to change back! Being stuck like this just isn't fun."

"Okay, but we're seriously unable to change you back unless we recharge it, and it'll take 12 hours for a full charge," Said Walter.

"You're not serious," Said Klackner.

"Unfortunately, there's no shortcut," Said Walter, "At least... for this method."

Klackner is slack-jawed, looking at Walter like he had dropped an atomic bomb on him. He tried and failed to summon his words, working his jaw like working a rusted car jack, all the while glaring at him with exasperation. Not only did he curse his shorter height and more slender frame, he also cursed the fact he was no longer a grown adult man, but looking like a naive, horny little teenager with absolute ignorance of the world.

"Oh fuck... I seriously can't be stuck like this for the day," Said Klackner, "I've got important things to do, and I can't do them looking like a little girl; none of them'd take me seriously."

"Oh, poor Klaus! What did you want to do anyways?" asked Martens.
