Queen of Random: I have, and never will own, X-Men: Evolution. However, I
do own about five tapes, all with different episodes.
This story came about from the question, 'If you were turned into a member of the opposite sex, what would you do?' I just hope that any of my (female) friends don't turn into guys any time soon.

Chapter One: Forge's New Invention
"What do you think?" asked Forge, proudly displaying his new invention.
The X-Men looked blankly at the machine that stood in front of them. "Er, Forge," said Kurt, "what is it?"
"What do you mean, what is it?" asked Forge. "It's a devise that allows me to see what is going on in other dimensions."
"Is that really a good idea?" asked Jean. "After all, you and other dimensions, well, don't seem to get along."
Forge ignored the comment. "Of course it is a good idea! Haven't you ever wondered what we are doing in other dimensions?"
"Can't say that I have," replied Rogue dryly.
"Well, have any of you thought of the fact that we have twins in other dimensions?"
"There are enough mutant twins around," said Kitty. "Can you imagine two Pietros?" Kitty shuddered. "Or two Todds?"
The others agreed. "She's right," said Scott. "There are enough Maximoffs already."
"Perhaps you should just take this thing home," suggested Kurt.
"You're probably right," said Forge, kind of upset. "But can you guys help me get this home? I don't want to have somebody try and grab this thing from me."
"Sure," said Evan. "I can check out the new skate park that they just built out in that direction, anyway."
"Then it's settled," said Scott. "We are going to help Forge get his. . . thing. . . home, without any problems."
*
"Yo! Pietro!" called Todd. "Ain't that the X-Geeks?"
Pietro ran outside. "It is," he said when he raced back inside.
"I wonder what they're up to?" asked Lance.
"Let's go find out!"
*
"Uh oh," said Cyclops. "It's the Brotherhood."
Jean looked in the direction Cyclops was staring at. "That's not a good thing."
"What are we going to do?" asked Shadowcat.
"Fight them, what else?" said Spyke.
"Man! Not again!" complained Rogue. "Don't those losers ever learn?!"
"Apparently not," replied Nightcrawler.
"Hey, losers!" called a voice. "Watcha got there?"
"None of your business, Quicksilver!"
"It looks like another new toy of Forge's!" called Toad from the backseat of the jeep. "Yo, Blob! Move over! You're getting between me and my girl!"
"Call me that again and you will be scraped off the sidewalk!"
"As you wish, snookums."
"That's it!" cried the Scarlet Witch. She got up from her seat, and raised a hand towards Toad, and launched her hex powers at him. With a yelp, he ducked, and the bolt missed, and instead headed for Forge's machine.
"Look out! It's gonna blow!"
Everyone, Brotherhood and X-Men members alike, ducked for cover, as a beam of white light blanketed the landscape.
Toad was the first to stand up. "What was up with that, yo?"
"I have no idea," said Shadowcat.
"Oh, man! My invention!" cried Forge. "It's destroyed!"
"I'm sorry, man," said Nightcrawler, trying to comfort his friend. "Can you make another one?"
Forge shook his head. "I don't know. It took me ages to work on that one. It might take me months to do it again."
"I'm sorry," repeated Nightcrawler.
Avalanche looked around. "What was that light that we just saw?"
"I don't know," said Forge. "It might have been the effect of a rip between the fabric that holds two dimensions apart."
"WHAT?!"
"I said, it might have been the effect of a rip between the fabric that holds two dimensions apart," repeated Forge.
"You might be right about that," said Jean. "Look!"
Jean was pointing at a spot where the light had emanated from. There, in the smoky air, seemed to be some figures moving around, quite unsteadily.
"Let's not do that anytime soon," came a voice that seemed not too unfamiliar.
"I agree," said another.
"I told you that a machine like that was not a good idea."
"Yeah, you should have learned by now to stop messing with dimensions."
"Hey! I didn't mean for us to get attacked by them!"
"Oh, and so it's our fault now?!"
"Yes! If it wasn't for one of his attacks, we wouldn't be in this mess!"
"Well, she shouldn't have built that machine in the first place!"
"Please, can't we all sort this out peacefully?"
"Stow it, Red. This is none of your business!"
As the dust disappeared, it became clear that the voices belonged to twelve teenagers - four boys, and eight girls, and they were all wearing some very weird uniforms.
"Oh, that's just great," said a girl with long white hair. She had been the one to ask if it was her fault that they were in this mess, as her side had attacked the other. "We've been spotted." Then she looked at the X-Men and the Brotherhood. "Men," she said, smiling. "I guess the situation can't be all bad."
Quicksilver grinned, and ran over to the girl. He was not oblivious to the fact that she was wearing a very tight fitting uniform, and cut to be quite revealing. He did not pay attention to the colours - green and silver.
"So," he asked, "what's your name?"
The girl smiled at Quicksilver in the same way that he was smiling at her. "You tell me first, and maybe I'll tell you."
"Mercuria!" said a girl who was wearing what appeared to be a variant of Avalanche's uniform - including the helmet. "He could be the enemy!"
The girl - Mercuria - looked annoyed. "Shut up, Seisma. You're not the leader of the Sisterhood anymore!"
Quicksilver was slightly taken aback. "Sisterhood?"
Mercuria fluttered her eyelashes, obviously trying to keep Quicksilver's attention. "The Sisterhood of Mutants, of course. You haven't heard of us? Well, then. I might have to do the introductions. I'm the leader of the Sisterhood, and I'm a mutant. I call myself Mercuria."
"Hold on," said Forge. "What's your real name? And your power?"
Mercuria moved suddenly, faster than the eye could see. "I'm a speed demon," she said grinning.
"More like speed dater," muttered Seisma.
Mercuria ignored Seisma. "You, handsome," she said to Quicksilver, touching a finger to his chest in a very forward manner, "can call me Petra Maximoff."
