Unfortunately, there's a bit of sexist stereotyping in this fanfiction, with Mork thinking that turning Fonzie into a girl will make him incompetent and believing that she now "belongs" to Richie, [[spoiler: who later becomes her boyfriend.]] There's also several characters who think that women can't be mechanics or that they have to be "ladylike".

'''Happy Daze''' is a [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7767522/1/Happy-Daze fanfiction]] of ''Series/HappyDays''.

It focuses on Fonzie winning a fight (or, as they call it, a "hollitacker"), with an alien known as Mork from Ork. Mork decides that someone who can win against him cannot live on Earth, so he "neutralizes" him by turning him into a girl.

Fonzie doesn't want to admit to anyone but the Cunninghams and Chachi that she's Fonzie, so she goes by Francine, or "Francie" and claims to be Fonzie's cousin from Chicago (and that Fonzie is in Chicago). She also has to deal with the things that come with being a girl, like being flirted with by guys and having breasts.

Unfortunately, there's a bit of sexist stereotyping in this fanfiction, with Mork thinking that turning Fonzie into a girl will make him incompetent and believing that she now "belongs" to Richie, [[spoiler: who later becomes her boyfriend.]] There's also several characters who think that women can't be mechanics or that they have to be "ladylike".
