This is my first FanFiction. Not really sure how to do this or if it will be any good as I never written a story before. Hope its good.
*Disclaimer: I do not own The Troop*

Felix, Haley and I were back in the basement to clean up the mess the current monster had created. This part was my least favorite part of being in The Troop, an elite force made up of teens to fight against the monsters in the world. Our Troop, the Lakewood Troop just had a janitor go missing and a mysterious trail of green slime left behind to clean and investigate. We tried earlier but were interrupted and were now back for the dirty job.
"I've narrowed it down to three suspects," Felix began. "Australian Elephant Bat, A Gelatinous Cube or a Slithering Fanged Bantu. Most other monsters we need to close in booths."
"Dude, just point me to the monster and I'll take it down." I replied cockily. I know I'm good. I rely on my instinct and it gets the job done.
"Please. I made the last three captures this month. Which is pretty good considering how much how much rehearsal I've had," Haley countered. Really? Does she always have to one up me? Who does she think she is? How annoying!
"Since you're such a good actor could you act like someone who's not so impressed with herself?" Ugh, she is so conceited.
Unbeknownst to us green gel began to ooze through the vent.
"Oh, I am so sick of you!" Haley snapped. Does she ever shut up? How did I ever think she was pretty?
"Hey, Guys, I think…"
I cut Felix off. "Hold on, Felix. Haley was about to bore us with more theatre talk."
Felix tried again with his eyes bulging as the Gelatinous Cube moved toward us. "But…"
Haley cut him off with more of her self-righteous tirade flinging one finger at him to stop. "No! I totally wanna hear more about the fascinating saga of your booger cross love with Claudia Forlawn."
"For your information I asked her if I could ask her…"
I was cut off by Felix yelling and pointing behind us, "Guys, it's a cube monster! Right there! Run!"
What?
I jumped away. Looking back I saw Haley pause and the gel sounded her. My anger instantly turned into concern. Without thinking I reached in to pull her out. But I got sucked into too.
Inside the cube I could feel the anger being pulled out of me along with the fear, the sadness, the happiness. I could feel all my emotions and feelings being painfully ripped out of me. It's like everything I am being taken from me.
Suddenly the pain stopped and I fell forward onto the ground covered in slimy gel. Felix helped me up.
"Are you alright? Haley, are you hurt?"
Haley? What on earth? Why did he call me that? "Why are you calling me Haley? I'm Jake." That's when I noticed my fingernails were blue. "The monster must have painted my fingernails." I laughed but why did it sound more like a giggle. I could smell something different. I lifted my arm and sniffed my armpit. It was a gentle mix of rain and a hint of melon. "Why do I smell so good?"
Felix stared at me wide eyed and confused. "If you're Jake then…." He looked over and I could see something clicked in his brilliant mind. I heard him ask the other figure just getting off the floor. "Haley, is that you?"
I heard a voice that sounded a lot like mine answer, "Who else would it be?"
I turned to look and saw myself standing there. Then I looked down at me and saw Haley's body. Looking back at my body and understanding what happened. I screamed. Obviously Haley came to the conclusion at the same time because she started to scream. Felix caught up in the moment started to scream. And we all took a minute to freak out..
We walked back to Troop Headquarters to process and to get cleaned up. Felix was bubbling like a child in a candy store. "This is amazing! Somehow the Gelatinous Cube took both of your thoughts and personalities and transposed them into each other's bodies," he said gleefully.
"Did you figure that out on your own Shemler?" I asked sarcastically.
"Sherlock." Haley said.
"What?" What on earth was she talking about?
"It's Sherlock, not Shemler. Sherlock Holmes was the great detective." She said with her air of superiority.
"Whatever." I turned from her back to Felix. "So what can you do to..you know..switch us back?
"I'm not sure yet. I need to do some research. It could be that the alkaline properties of the phosphorus material…" Felix rambled excitedly.
Not understanding what he said, nor caring, I cut him off, "Whatever, just fix it!"
Feeling the slime dripping down my back I turned toward the scrubber. "I'm going to get cleaned up."
Haley followed me complaining. "I'm not happy about this either, Jake." The she stormed off into the other scrubber.
As I tried to figure out how to take the huge earring out, (How can girls wear these things anyway?) I heard a shriek and then Haley scream, "Jake!"
