Dr Forester and Mr Brand

------------------------------------------------------------
Scientist Nathan Forester was in his lab working on another experiment, this time it some kind of new monster or gadget that can be used - it was something different.

He got inspired by an episode of the Beetlejuice animated series to come up with something just like the New U Colone that BJ came up with.

Unfortunately in the past his inventions had a tendency to malfunction or go wrong in some way or another.

But he was sure that this time it would be different, he was sure it was going to work with no backfiring whatsoever.

That is why he invited his friends to help him with the experiment, most of which were reluctant to do it except for Damon who was hesitant.

"So glad you gentlemen could join me."

"Well Nate, we didn't want to but since you're our friend and all...it's the least we can do."

"That's what I like to hear. "

"So what is this new invention of yours?"

"I was inspired by the Beetlejuice animated series episode Dr Beetle and Mr Juice to make this - this is an elixir i'm working on."

"What does it do? "

"It's a special kinda of potion that gives the drinker an increase in popularity and brings out a side of them that normally they wouldn't have. In other words, it gives them a dramatic increase in personality and stuff like that."

"Intriguing. So who's going to try it out?"

"Would one of you guys do it?"

"Ummm..no.....no...no...it's your invention, I think you should test it."

"Oh well..."

"Aren't you at least concerned that something is going to go wrong? Like you turning into a monster or something?"

"Normally yes, but my inventions have malfunctioned so much in the past that i'm pretty sure that is nothing to go wrong this time."

"I have a feeling this won't end well, no, not at all."

"Nice Christopher Walken impersonation there, Damon."

"I wasn't doing a Christopher Walken impersonation, i'm seriously worried about what's going to happen."

"Relax...I've made 100% sure that this potion has the right ingredients in it, I double checked and everything."

"But what if something does go wrong?"

"Well...you can never be too careful, but what the hell...it won't hurt just to give it a try."

Nathan picked up the vial and held it close to his lips before taking off of the top and drinking it before sitting down.

The lime green liquid from inside had an eerie glow to it as the vial started shaking, he carefully put the vial back on the table.

"So...did anything happen to you?"

"No, I feel perfectly fine... see? I told you nothing bad was going to happen....everything is just fine....."

He was about to finish his sentence when his stomach started making strange growling and gurgling sounds.

He clutched his stomach in pain for a while but then he started shaking and twitching in a most unusual way - going out of control all the way.

"Nathan! Are you alright?"

"Ummm...no...i'm fine, I'm just a little bit queasy that's all...i'll be fine..."

"Nathan...what's wrong?"

But he was far from fine as he started changing into a monster and then back into himself, he shook and convulsed but then recovered.

"Oh nothing..i'm fine..."

"You were in pain just a second ago."

"Oh i'm pretty sure it was nothing really, probably something I ate."

"Well i'm just glad you're alright."

"Think nothing of it...it's not like I was going to turn into a monster or something."

"Phew. For a second there I thought we were goners."

"You don't need to worry. I got everything under control."

He gave a sigh of relief but his relief was turned to shock after his jeans started losing their colour and becoming a pair of tight black pants, along with a grey metalic belt appearing around his waist.

His shoes were also changing and losing their colour and becoming black boots, something was definitely wrong alright.

"Nathan...something's happening to you."

"What is it? What's happening?"

"Your clothes..."

"What?"

The changes started spreading along his upperbody as his shirt started losing colour and turning black as his sleeves shortened.

In addition to this two spikey black wristbands materialized on his wrists and he began to grow taller and thinner, until he was about 6'1, there was also a fine mini coat of hair growing on his more slender chest.

"They've lost their colour. And you've got chest hair, and you've gotten taller."

"Ugh....my head hurts....what's happening to me?"

He held his held in agony and as he did he could feel his normally straight long brown hair growing longer and become more wild-looking.

His eyebrows were also becoming slightly thicker and giving him a more mischevious look as black eye-liner and mascara applied itself around his eyes that had just turned a dark shade of brown.

"Your hair! Your eyes!"

"I take it back, something really is wrong with me. Aaaaaah....help me!"

He cried in agony as his facial features began tingling and scruffy facial hair slowly grew around his face.

His facial features slowly morphed and reshaped themselves looking less like his own
facial features and more like...Russell Brand's , even his hair was now Russell's hair and his height, and clothing were a lot more like his too.

His voice was the last to change as it developed a cockney British accent and sounded more like Russel's voice.

When his changes were completed, he was no longer his old self he was Russell Brand right down to the accent and everything.

"Nathan? Are you alright?"

"Well.....apart from the fact I underwent a rather discomforting and disturbing transformation, I am otherwise perfectly fine, so to speak."

"Oh no...it's worse than I thought.."

"In which way do you mean? I am perfectly fine and I haven't been killed or anything,

I'm all in one piece and despite the fact I just underwent a rather disturbing transformation - everything is peachy keen and I have never been better."

"What I mean by worse is.....well you didn't turn into a monster but you did turn into something a LOT worse."

"And what would that be? I am unsure of what you mean by that. What exactly do you mean on something a lot worse than being turned into a monster? Do you mean like a vampire? A demon? Or being turned into a werecreature?"

"What I mean by this is...that, Nathan, you didn't turn into a monster...you've turned into something that is indeed a lot worse....you've turned into.....Russell Brand."

"Tis Rhubarb!"

"No it's not rubbish...you have turned into him."

"Really? I have? Show me. Hand me the mirror."

"Ummm...alright."

"Mirror! Mirror!"

Damon nervously gave Nathan/Russell a handheld mirror and turned to face him with a rather nervous expression on his face.

"The elixir you drank changed you, it really did change you....you have unfortunately changed into Russell Brand. So...do you believe me?"

"Ahahahahahahahahahahaha!"

Laughing manically, Nathan/Russell held the mirror for a few seconds before smashing it into pieces.

There was a loud scream coming from the other side of the room as a young woman stepped in, that young woman was another one of Nathan's friends - Kara.

"Kara? Are you alright? I heard you scream."

"I'm sorry, it's just I have had the biggest fright of my life. And what the hell is going on here? Has Nathan been eaten or killed? Has he been turned into a monster?"

"Ummm...no, but.....it's much worse than that."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean....he's turned into...."

"Well what he has turned into?"

"He's turned into Russell Brand?"

"Oh no...not Russell Brand! Say it isn't so Nathan, this can't be true."

"I'm afraid it is. "

"But how?"

"It was the reaction of the chemicals residing in this vial that did it to me, it brought out a side of me that I normally wouldn't have, it caused a reaction which trigged a rather disturbing transformation sensation that changed me into Russell."

"Oh my god it's true. You're even talking like him!"

"Can't be helped really, call it an instinctual intuition."

"There must have been something supernatural thrown into the mix that went into the vial."

She turned around to see Nathan/Russell on the computer typing up an intellectual article, she was quite shocked to see this.

"Chasing batons. A dissertation on unifying field theory and it's effect on leptons and qasars...written by Russell Brand!"

"I don't believe it! I really don't believe it! Our friend Nathan really has become Russell Brand!"

"......At any rate, I balk at the results....quite a shocking transformation, do you concur?"

"See? I told you he had turned into Russell!"

"Ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?"

"What?"

"I always ask that of everyone. I just love the sound of it."

"Well I don't love this one bit...I don't want Russell, I want the old Nathan back."

"That man is dead.....you can call me....Russell!"

"No....I want the old Nathan back, I liked you better as you....not as Russell Brand! I want the old you back."

"Well that's too bloody bad. Because the new me is here to stay and you better bloody well get used to it or there will be dire consequences!"

"Nathan, Russell, whoever you are - STOP THIS!"

"Yes...stop this before I decide to get hostile on you, Nathan - this is for your own good."

"Hostility is the calling card of a weak intellect. Now if you please excuse me, i'm going to go off and cause some acts of havoc and cause trouble. Ta-ta!"

Nathan/Russell ran out of the doors and into the streets to cause various acts of havoc and getting into trouble along the way.

A couple of hours later, his friends caught up and found him back in the living room - he was back to his old self.

"Nathan...you're you again."

"Huh? Where am I?"

"You're in the living room."

"I had the worst and most terrifying nightmare ever. I dreamed that I came up with a vial like in Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and I drank it but instead of turning into a monster I turned into Russell Brand!"

"That wasn't a nightmare i'm afraid, that really did happen. It was no nightmare."

"So I really DID invent a vial that literally brings out a side of my personality that I don't normally have?"

"Yes."

"And I really DID drink it?"

"Yes."

"I really DID turn into Russell Brand?"

"Unfortunately yes, but you're back to being you now."

"That's good, but for how long?"

"Well how much of it did you drink?"

"I drank it all. Not to mention i've got extra vials for it."

"What? Are you mad? You drank it all?"

"I prefer the term eccentric thank you very much. And yeah, I DID drink it all."

"Aren't you at least worried about the side effects."

"Listen it's not like i'm going to turn back into Russell again or anything, i'm perfectly fine as it is right now."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes...i'm perfectly..."

He was about to continue speaking when his stomach started growling and gurgling again before he started to feel an intensive wave of pain all over his body, before convulsing and shaking again - turning back into Russell Brand again.

This time he split into two, he was now the "Normal" one and the other Russell was the "Extremely Bad" one. Both of them looked and sounded alike which.

"Oh no...now there's two Russels!"

"One Russell Brand is bad enough now there's two of em? Oh that's just great."

"What the hell?"

"That was a rather outrageous and not to mention wild and utterly crazy experience."

"Are you like a clone or something?"

"Yes, now come along, Nathan! Let's go and cause some trouble. It will be outrageously fun!"

"Listen, you crazy-haired bastard maniac. You may be a copy of me, but I'm the first and only one. As long as you're my copy - you have to behave, got that?"

"Spoillsport!"

"Disgusting and odious freak of nature."

"I'll tell you what. We can do it together, i'll be the sneak and you be the genius."

"No. I said no. I said no."

"Oh bloody hell. Would it kill you to loosen up and have fun just for once?"

"Hey, I can have fun. It's just that I don't think that causing trouble or getting into is the way to go."

"Aaaaw...you're going soft?"

"If you don't stop, I'll do something to you that isn't fun."

"Oh, so you want to tussle, do you?"

"Yes.."

Nathan/Russell grabbed the other Russell by the hair and slapped him a few times before pulling on his hair.

"Ow ow ow ow! Don't touch the hair! Don't touch the hair!"

"Too late i'm already touching it! You know, you should really try brushing it more often."

"What? I should brush my hair? These wild luxorious locks are my pride and joy. I wouldn't be me without them."

"You obnoxious crazy haired neatherallic goon!"

"How about we leave this dump and go and have some real fun?"

"No."

"Aaaaw. What kind of goody two shoes are you, anyway?"
"You watch your mouth."

"Why? Is Little Mr Goody Two shoes going to tell on me, hmmm?"

"I'm warning you it won't be pretty in the slightest."

The other Russell danced around singing and taughting Nathan/Russell dancing around singing:

"Mr Goody Two Shoes, Mr Goody Two Shoes , Mr Goody Two Shoes!"

He reached up to the other Russell and sent him flying towards the wall, the other Russell got sent flying towards the wall.

"Good, bad - i'm the one with the brain."

"Hey! No bloody fair! I demand a rematch this instant."

"Nope, sorry. I win."

"So which one of these two is Nathan?"

"I am!"

"No, I am!"

"You wish, you spaggheti haired atrocity!"

"This is so confusing."

"I know, let's ask them questions only Nathan would know."

"That's just insane enough to work."


"What's the name of Nathan's monster form/alter ego?"

"That's an easy one...Growler."

"Ummm...Frederick?"

"Next question: What is my favorite horror movie?"

"I know this, I know this. You've got the poster for it on your wall, it's The Howling series!"

"Ummmm....Silence of the Lambs?"

"Next question: What is my favorite animal?"

"Owls!"

"Ummm...spiders?"

"This is the last question...if you were in a Tim Burton which one would you be in?"

"Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice."

"Coraline."

"That settles it. The first one is Nathan. I should have known by the fact that the other one said Coraline. Coraline isn't a Tim Burton movie."

"So now that we got that sorted out...what we do now?"

"Hey...the other one is fading away."

"Huh?"

"I meant literally, the other Russell is disappearing."

The other Russell started losing colour and slowly fading out as he vanished into thin air, never to be seen again.

"Phew."

"I say that we should get rid of this elixir."

"No!"

Nathan/Russell convulsed some more, this time changing back into his normal self then turning into Russell again and vice versa, the transformations were getting out of control this time round.

"We've got to get rid of these before it's too late."

"But...if Nathan goes, then so do I."

As he said that he turned into Russell and snatched the elixir away from Damon, using his hair like a lasso he used the ends of it to tie him up.

"Nathan....this is for your own good."

"I know guys, help me...please...I don't wanna be like this forever."

He begged before turning back into himself, and then back into Russell, this time cackling madly.

"But I do! Who cares about Nathan anyway? This is the new me and it's staying!"

"Nathan...no...don't do this?"

"Heeelp me guys, heeelp me."

"Don't you worry, we're going to do something about this."

"On the other hand....Nah, I do want to stay like this and I don't need help."

"Oh no..what do we do?"

Damon made a leap for it and grabbed the elixir, quickly draining it's contents into a bowl and then cleaning the bowl.

He didn't destroy the elixir though, as he did, Nathan/Russell collapsed on the ground and slowly but surely turned back into regular Natahn again.

"Oh no...don't tell me it happened again."

"Yes, it did."

"Is it over now?"

"Yes. You're you."

"Is Russell gone?"

"Yes."

"Phew. Thank goodness."


With that, Nathan got back up and he and his friends sat down and decided to relax after the horrible ordeal that they had been through.

It now looked like everything was back to normal...or was it? From inside one of the mirrors the other Russell watched with a sinister smirk on his face.

"You may have foiled me this time Forester, but i'll be back. And i'll return to ruin your peaceful existence even more, just you wait and see! Buwahahaha!"

But it's unlikely that the other Russell would be getting his revenge anytime soon along with Nathan turning back into Russell, but again we may never know for sure.
