NOTE: This story takes place anytime BEFORE AJ and Tezz.

"Ohmygosh, like, awesome mission gals!" Stanford said, getting out of the Reverb. Agura turned to him in annoyance when…What? There was a teenage girl standing where his voice was coming from, running a comb through her red-orange hair.

"Stanford?" She asked, barely believing her eyes.

"Uhm, like, no. I'm Stacy. Did you like, hit your head or something?" The teenager replied.

"Kyburi did hit her pretty hard." Another female voice called from the Buster, and a tall, huskily built brunette with short hair in a ponytail got out.

"Sherman?" Agura exclaimed.

"OMG Agura! Did you like, completely lose your memory?" Another brunette, this one petite and with long brown hair said, hopping out of the Buster. "I'm Sammy and that's Shannon." "Sammy" pointed to the other brunette. "You're AH-GUR-A? Got it?"

"Well, yeah, but-"

"Maybe we should take you to Sage, Agura." A young, Asian girl said, taking off her helmet. She shook her shiny black hair out of its bun and slid in a headband similar to Zoom's. Agura was officially disturbed.

"I agree, Zoë. You okay, Agura? You look a little pale." Agura turned toward the Saber, bracing herself. Her eyes revealed a tall, female blonde, with Vert's blue eyes.

"I-I'm fine. I'm gonna go talk to Sage." She sprinted off to find the Sentient.

"What's up with her?" She heard Stacy/Stanford ask.

"Sage!" Agura yelled.

"What is the problem, Agura?" Sage inquired.

"You need to run some tests on the guys. Like, RIGHT NOW." Agura said urgently. Sage appeared confused.

"Very well." She said, following the young woman into the main area of the Hub. The Sentient gasped.

"Agura! You brought your friends into the Hub?" Sage gasped.

"What? No! It's the guys! Something must have happened when we went through the StormShock!" Agura said.

"Guys? I think something happened to YOU when we went through that StormShock." Sammy/Spinner said.

"Team, I believe I need to run some tests." Sage said.

"Why? We're like, totally fine." Stanford/Stacy said.

"Just a routine checkup." Sage assured them.

"Alright. Let's go ladies." Vert said, and they followed. "Agura?" S/he called. "Coming?"

"Right. Sorry, uh…" Agura still couldn't believe they were all…girls. Too freaky.

"Veronica? Your BFF? God, Kyburi must have really banged you around!" Veronica/Vert exclaimed.

"Not as much as Krytus bangs her." Spinner/Sammy joked, getting giggles.

"Om my grodie, Sam! That's like, so what she said." Stanford/Stacy whined.

"You haven't gotten used to her by now?" Sherman/Shannon reminded them.

"True that." Zoë/Zoom agreed as they approached Sage. Agura just watched her team in absolute awe and shock. What happened? How long will this last? She asked herself the basic questions, then the one that had been hiding in the shadows of her mind crept its way into the front. If Vert thinks we're "BFFs" when he's a girl, what does he think of us when…Agura pushed the question back to the corner of her mind.

"Please lay down." Sage gestured to the six cots arranged in the room. Agura raised an eyebrow at the Sentient, asking if she needed to as well. Sage nodded as if to say "Only so we do not make them suspicious."

"Kay." Stanford/Stacy said, taking the closest cot. Once they were ready, Sage activated a scanner above each of the cots.

"Thank you. You are free to go." Sage announced after several minutes. The "girls" left, but Agura hung around for the results.

"What happened?" She asked anxiously, peering over at the screen.

"It appears that the unused Binary Fusion Pod was slightly unstable. It somehow interacted with the unusually high level of Hedron Energy in the BattleZone when you entered the StormShock. I am not completely sure how this phenomenon occurred, but it resulted in affecting the males and giving them female traits. They have no memory of their previous sex." Sage explained.

"Well, can we fix it?" Agura asked.

"According to these results, I should be able to re-engineer the Fusion Pod. If you return to the same BattleZone, we can launch the Fusion Pod into the portal. Passing through it should solve the…anomaly." Sage concluded.

"Great. Let's do it." Agura said. Sage frowned.

"It will take some time to re-engineer the Pod. Approximately five to seven days."

"Well, what are we supposed to do?" Agura asked. Dealing with her FE-mates was not going to be easy.

"I suppose we will just have to wait. They still have their personalities and unique skills. However, you may have to help them…adjust a little." Sage said. Agura groaned. Walking back into the Hub, she found herself staring at the "guys." They all had the same facial features, just slightly more feminine. Their Shocksuits had kept the same theme and color, but now they were fitted for…well, teenage girls. Even their voices still sounded like their own, just higher and more girly. Shannon/Sherman was still bulky, and her short, dark hair was tied back in a low ponytail. Sammy/Spinner's lighter brown hair was in two braids. Zoom/Zoë had bangs across her forehead, and they had been dyed hot pink. Agura winced. Zoom was still wearing the headband, and the rest of her hair was in two pigtails mounted on the top of her head and with various bright pink and blue streaks. Staci/Stanford's orange hair was hanging loosely around her shoulders. The most surprising (and hardest to look at) teammate was Veronica/Vert. As a girl, he was cheerleader pretty, as awkward as Agura felt admitting it. Her wavy blonde hair had darker streaks, and was flowing halfway down her back. Vert had kept the eyes and leadership, but...well, it was the same with all of them. Same personalities, just more feminine.

"Hey! Earth to Agura!" She heard Stanford/Staci shout. "God, what is like, with you today? Veronica just asked if you wanted to hit Zeke's." Agura was startled out of her trance.

"Right. Uh, Zeke's is…" She couldn't let the fe-MALES into Zeke's; someone would surely make a connection. "Closed!" She blurted out. "For, uh, maintenance. I'll go make, uh, sandwiches or something." She was about to dash out to the kitchen when Vert/Veronica's voice stopped her.

"Hey girl, are you okay? You seem kinda shook up from that battle. Maybe you should lie down. Shannon can make lunch." She said. Agura sighed.

"Right. I'll be in my room." She said, walking off. When she got to her room, she flopped down on the bed. Looking around, she thought this is the only normal thing left in my life right now. Then she realized that once the now-girls entered their old rooms, they would find nothing but guy clothes. And that might pose a small problem. She ran to talk to Sage.

"Sage! I need you to make four more rooms. The "girls" are gonna suspect something if they use their old ones." She panted.

"I will create them. What will you tell your teammates?" Sage replied. Agura sighed.

"Maintenance."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Hey, girls!" Agura said, walking into the Hub and feeling completely out of her comfort zone. "Sage has to do some repairs on your rooms, so she made you spare ones if you wanna check them out."

"Kay." Zoë replied.

"What about our clothes?" Sammy whined.

"We'll go shopping!" Agura said before she could think about what she was saying.

"Awesome!" Stacy exclaimed. "Who like, cares about our rooms? Let's go shopping!"

"Yeah!" Everyone but Agura replied, running to their cars. She groaned and trudged to the Tangler.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Think I could make this work?" Stacy asked, holding up a purple tank top.

"Uhm…" Sammy began, "No offense, but you're about as tan as that vamp from Twilight. Let's not blind anyone." Stacy huffed, putting it back.

"Agreed." Zoë said, holding up a retro shirt with a boom-box on it. "Hey, what do you think? Is this me, or is it me?" She asked, posing.

"Girl, that's ol' schoo'!" Veronica joked. "Totally you."

"Know right?" Zoë replied, snapping her gum. "What about with my headphones, these armwarmers, this skirt and…these necklaces?" She asked, holding up a pile of clothes and beads.

"How much money do you have, and can I like, have some?" Stacy asked.

"Tons, and no. I'm gonna go try these on." Zoë said.

"Hey Agura?" Veronica called. Agura had been hanging back, staring into space at a rack of blouses.

"Yeah, VertERONICA?" She caught herself.

"Whaddya think?" Veronica held up a red t-shirt with white polka dots. "Too young?"

Agura stifled a laugh. "You're asking me?"

"Of course! I need my girl's input before I buy this!" Veronica replied.

"Okay. Uhm, yeah, probably too young." Agura randomly said.

"That's what I was thinking! Thanks chica." Veronica replied, putting the shirt back. "Okay, what about this one?" Now she was holding up a dark red long sleeve.

"It's summer..." Agura pointed out. Veronica groaned.

"Okay. Last choice." She revealed a red blouse with ruffles along the collar and sleeves.

"Cute. Try it on." Agura said. It was so weird to be "bonding" with Vert like this. She shuddered, then realized everyone was in the fitting rooms besides Sherman/Shannon.

"Don't you wanna try something on, Shannon?" Agura asked.

"You're kidding, right? You know I hate shopping." Shannon said.

"Well, you need some clothes." Agura said, feeling protective in a way for her FE-mates. They were still her friends, and now that she thought about it, they had even more in common. Maybe this wasn't such a bad thing.

"Here." She thrust a pair of jeans and a navy T-shirt at Shannon. "Try these on."

Shannon took the clothes. "Fine." She grumbled, going to change. Agura leaned on the clearance rack, satisfied.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"IDK about you girls, but I like, love this outfit!" Stacy exclaimed over the com. She had settled on ripped jeans and a purple hoodie.

"Agreed." Zoë replied, wearing her new clothes. For some reason, Zoom's female side was punk-retro, and she was wearing the boombox tee along with purple armwarmers, a tangle of rainbow plastic necklaces and orange skinny jeans with bulky pink and blue headphones around her neck. Agura had no idea how, but it worked.

"You were so right about this shirt, Agura! Told you I needed you help." Veronica said, wearing the red blouse and a denim miniskirt.

"Yeah, I guess these are fine for clothes." Shannon replied, looking down at the items Agura had picked for her.

"I still can't believe you shopped, Shannon!" Sammy exclaimed, in an electric blue half-sleeve shirt and shorts. "You're like, a miracle worker, Agura."

Agura smiled to herself. "You have no idea." She said under her breath as they entered the Hub.

"I'm choosing my room first!" Sammy yelled, running out of the Buster.

"Oh my gosh, like, cheater!" Stacy cried, stumbling to follow in her new flip-flops.

"Suckers!" Zoë tapped both of them as she darted past. Shannon followed, leaving Agura and Veronica.

"Aren't you gonna claim a room?" Agura asked.

"Eh." Veronica shrugged. "I don't really care. Zoë will probs save me one next to her."

"Probably." Agura said.

"Hey, Agura?" Veronica asked.

"Yeah?" She replied.

"Do you have a tampon I could borrow? Mine are still in my room." Veronica said honestly. Agura could have died, but instead she tried to hide the blush that was creeping up on her cheeks.

"Sure." She managed. "I'll grab you some."

"Thanks." Veronica replied. Agura ran into her room and collapsed on the bed. Sage better get that Fusion Pod engineered soon. She thought.
