So, Todd and Gretta talked. Stashed away in the janitor's room with nobody coming to bother them anytime soon, the two got to know each other better.
"Well, look." Todd covered Gretta's plump body with a blanket from the corner and the thick bodied crocodillian huffed in annoyance. "I mean, I get it, you know? I'd be pissed too if I spent my entire life in a cage."
"Yeah, that's not it, though." Gretta grumbled in an increasing black mood. "I remember, okay? Everything. Because of whatever you did to my brain I have all my memories. I fucking hate people. I hate this zoo. I hate this stupid pointless world. Do you get it?"
"I get it." Todd nodded. "So, I mean, what can I do to help you not be so angry? I..." Todd looked down at his shoes and sigh-laughed nervously. He looked back up at the crocodile and smiled. "I kind of like having you around."
This caught Gretta off guard and she seemed to blush a little bit. Just a little, a slightly greener flush to her cheek scales. Her long snout looked away and her good eye eyed the human nervously. "I... I like you too." She admitted quickly. "So... what are you gonna do, monkey? Your, uh, science box is fucked up now."
Todd laughed. "Amazingly, it's a little more robust than you think. I mean, hey, it can stand up to abuse from a big angry crocodile woman!"
"Look." Gretta sighed heavily. "I don't know... maybe you should just change me back and go get some other animal who isn't a fucking mess."
"No." Todd walked up and put his arms around Gretta's soft front, cuddling into her neck and smiling as the plump old croc lady emrbaced him. "I'm not throwing you away like everyone else."
"Dammit, Todd..." Gretta whispered. "Stop making me like you."
"Okay." Todd chuckled. "I have an idea, Gretta. So, let me run it past you."
"Sure. Fine." The crocodile snorted.
"Okay, so what happened before was the remote uh... found you incompatible. So... what I could do, is, uh... start you over. That is to say, uh, I could... well, turn you back into an egg."
This caught the crocodile completely off guard and she blinked warily. "Like... you mean..." She blinked several more times and comprehension snuck in. Start over. Egg. "W-Wait, you mean, make me a baby again?"
"A little further than that." Todd went white. "If I make you, uh, unborn, I can mess with your DNA while you're still forming in your egg, and uh..."
The crocodile blinked again, half horrified half curious. "W-Wait, so... you mean... make me yolk? Won't I... die? Or... not exist?"
"I can make it so you keep your memories when you, uh, are born again."
"That sounds fucked." Gretta admitted, a smirk pulling at the side of her long snout. "But... uh... you're saying it'll let you change me without the box fucking me up again?"
"Yeah." Todd went red.
"Hey!" Gretta suddenly brightened. "Fine. Sure. Turn me into egg yolk and fuck with my DNA or whatever you need to do. But... one condition."
"Yes?" Todd blinked now, startled.
"Kiss me." Gretta grinned a big crocodile smile. She laughed at Todd's returning grin of surprise and chuckled. "No, seriously, kiss me."
Todd shrugged and blushed slightly, leaning in to give Gretta a peck and yelping as she lunged forward and grabbed him in her clawed hands, throwing the blanket off her fat body and pulling the human in to give him a huge sloppy tongue kiss. She laughed hysterically as Todd backed away in blushing red disbelief, wiping his mouth.
"W-What the...?" Todd laughed.
The crocodile swung her tail excitedly despite her age and weight and jiggled as she laughed, her eye bright and amused. "All right. There. In case you haven't guessed, you're my only monkey buddy, so that means I get to mess with you."
"That was... interesting." Todd laughed, picking up the remote. "You're weird, Gretta."
The crocodile hefted her tits up and let them slosh down again. "I am?"
"Okay." Todd gulped. "Anyway. Can I start?"
"Yeah, whatever." Gretta waved her hand.
"Okay." Todd nodded. "Then we have to go over a few things first."
