PROLOGUE: SWITCH
-0-
Bobby Pendragon liked playing basketball, eating pizza, and hanging out with his two best buddies, Mark and Courtney. He was your average high school student. Oh yeah, except for the fact that he was a Traveler.

"Shoot!" Bobby tried to jump back from the approaching light. Out of the corner of his eye, he thought he saw Saint Dane try to do the same thing. That's all he remembered, after, as he says, conking out.
When Bobby first woke up, he was lying face down on the hard, dirty floor in the flume cavern of Eelong. He shifted his head slightly to breathe better and…came face to face with…himself. He rolled away and jumped up, making himself dizzy. He was way taller than he remembered. Maybe the light had given him a growth spurt of some…kind…but that didn't really change the fact that his body was lying a couple of yards away from him.
Had his soul left his body? Was he dead?
The answer, apparently, was no, as his body was beginning to wake up…or come back to life. His body rubbed his head and stood up, coolly surveying his surroundings. "What the hell?" His body looked down at himself and then up at Bobby. "That the hell?" He said again.
"I'm wondering the same thing." Bobby told…himself, I guess.
His body stepped back a few paces, then let out a long laugh. "This is great. Now that I'm you I can move back and forth and no suspicion will arrive, while YOU on the other hand will see what it's like to have ten worlds of angry people after you. HAHAHAHAHA!!"
That's when Bobby realized it. "No way…" He looked at his hand, it was so pale it was nearly white. "I…I'm YOU!"
"No duh, who else would you be?" The…I guess you'd call it the body-bobby said. He laughed again. "No what will you do? You're me, you can't possibly go anywhere, and you don't know how to change your form. Hahaha. Second Earth!" The flume came to life, and in a flash and a jumble of musical notes, he was gone.
Bobby sank to his knees and pulled on his now long, gray hair. "OH. MY. GOD."
"I'm freakin' Saint Dane."

Sorry, really short chapter, and not at all funny…guess it's more of a prologue, but it'll get funnier…right?
