16Okay, sorry about the really long wait. Like, a few months long wait. I just lost motivation for the story, but I know where I'm going with it now!
Nudge's PoV
I awoke in Fang's room. Wait! FANG'S ROOM? I gotta get out of here before he kills me! I jumped out of bed. Hmm, I'm a lot taller than I remember. Maybe I had a freak mutant growth spurt last night. OMG that would be so cool! Maybe I have a new power! Excited, I ran downstairs. Or, I started to. I stopped when I noticed I was wearing black clothes. Do I have any black in my closet? Oh, I have that really cute shirt that I got last week with Ella! Ooh, I need to wear that sometime! And these black jeans are super cute! Then I caught a reflection of myself in the window. ZOMG sums it up nicely.
Fang's PoV
When I realized my room was now pink, my first thought was that Angel and Nudge played a prank on me. I ran into the hall to give them a piece of my mind before realizing that for some reason, I was in Nudge's room. I started down the hall to my room when I heard a scream from behind the door. I burst into the room ready to fight any threat, but the only other thing in there was…me. The other me turned around with wide eyes, and looked down at me. I stared at the clone, but something distracted me. My fists, which I had raised in front of me, were the wrong color. Instead of the normal olive color, they were a light brown, the same color as Nudge's, and smaller than mine. We both yelled at the same time.
"MAX!"
Max came thumping down the hall. Her light brown hair was messy and sticking up a little in places, as if she'd just woken up. She was still in her pajamas.
"What?" she asked in a tone that implied this had better be important or else she would slug both of us and go back to bed. Cringing, I glanced at the clock and saw that it was 7 a.m. No wonder she was grouchy. The other me began speaking almost immediately.
"Ohmigosh, Max, I woke up this morning in Fang's room, and then I looked in the window, and I saw Fang staring back at me, only it wasn't Fang, because he was in my room, and then I screamed, and then my body came in the door, and then-" Max covered her mouth.
"It's happening again, isn't it? Like what happened to you and Angel a couple days ago." Max nodded.
"I think so." Nudge-in-my-body moved away from Max's hand.
"Wait, you mean this happened before with you and Angel? Why didn't you guys tell me?" The reason that Nudge didn't know was that she was over at Ella's house all weekend, and we'd thought we could avoid a lot of drama if we didn't tell her. It was over by then, anyway. Or so we thought.
Nudge's PoV
"Are we going to tell Gazzy and Iggy?" Fang asked.
"We might as well. They're the only two left who haven't switched yet, so they would be ready and we could avoid the early morning shrieking."
"Do we have to act like each other?" I could tell Max was still unused to Fang being a chatter-mouth.
"No, I don't think you will."
"One more question. How did you and Angel switch back?" Maybe we could just do it right now.
"I don't know F-Nudge." Max caught herself. "We just went to sleep that night and woke up ourselves."
"I know what you're going to say Max, but I think we should call Jeb and ask what he thinks about this. It's happened twice now and it could happen again," Fang said. Max's shoulders slumped.
We called Jeb right after breakfast, and he said he would get on a plane and fly over here. We tried to convince him to just tell us over the phone, but he wouldn't listen. The rest of the day was a little strange, but I got through it. When I woke up the next morning, I was me again, just as Max said. At least I would have an interesting story to tell Ella the next time I saw her.
Thoughts? Like it as much as the first one?
