Fanny and Patton just got back from putting on their normal clothes (pajamas underneath them) and saw Rachel talking to Numbuh 74.239.
"How long exactly will the machine take to be completed?", Rachel asked.
"Well, we only begun this morning, sir. We'll try to work as fast as possible since the original machine got destroyed.", he told her showing the remote of the machine, broken to bits. They suddenly heard Fanny yell,
"YOU ARE DEAD TO ME BOY!", she quickly made her way to them. "Its your fault that I'm stuck being a stupid boy! You better get that machine done or I swear I'll-",
"Relax before you kill him Fanny!", the Irish lass relaxed as soon as Rachel said that. "Good. Now, Numbuh 74.239 said that the machine got destroyed after it hit you both so you'll have to be each other until the machine is re-built.",
"WHAT?!", the swapped operatives screamed in unison. "How long will that take?", Patton asked worriedly. Being a girl was definitely not on his to-do list today.
"Probably until tonight.", Numbuh 74.239 said. "Which means both of you will have to remain swapped until then."
"Exactly, so you two also can have the opportunity to live each others lives and finally understand each other.", Rachel said trying to hide her smirk.
Both Fanny and Patton sighed. "How are we going to be able to do each others jobs? I don't exactly know what he even does! All I know is he trains those new cadets in that freezer he calls a base.", Fanny said crossing her arms.
"Well, you both can teach each other.", Fanny and Patton looked at Rachel questioningly. "I mean that you can both teach each other how your jobs work, so both of you can finally stop arguing about the whole 'whose job is harder' thing."
They sighed and just nodded their heads in agreement. "Good. Okay, since it might be a little warm for you guys since your wearing your clothes over the pajamas, maybe you should head to the Arctic Base first.", Rachel suggested. "Oh, and you both have to make sure no one else figures out about this.",
"Wait, so ye're tellin' meh, that she has to pretend to be me and Ay' 'ave to pretend to be her?", Patton asked.
"Yeah, that's about it.", Rachel said, shrugging her shoulders.
"But why?",
"Cause, we can't have any operatives knowing that we had accidentally switched two of the highest ranked operatives!", she explained.
"Ha! I knew I was higher ranking than you!", Fanny exclaimed, grinning.
"She said both of us were high ranking! She didn't say you were higher!", Patton retorted.
After a few minutes of arguing, face-palming and attempts of butting in the argument to make them stop Rachel finally yelled,
"Would you guys stop it!", both of them paused and looked at her. "Now both of you just quit arguing and head on to the Arctic Base! I already have paperwork and a kajillion of other kids to handle, I don't need both of you causing me more trouble!".
"Yes sir!", they stopped the argument and saluted at her, slightly glaring at each other. Rachel face-palmed once again for what seemed like the hundredth time today. "Whatever, just get to the Arctic Base. And at-least try not to argue, at all! Please!".
Fanny and Patton just hesitantly agreed, muttering under their breaths about "only if he stops being a stupid boy" or "she started it".
Another operative quickly ran up to Numbuh 362 and saluted. "Sir! The COOLBUS is ready to head of to the Arctic Base!"
Rachel faced Fanny and Patton. " Okay, now both of you, just try to get along please? I'll see you both later on."
They nodded and walked towards the COOLBUS. Rachel shook her head sadly and huffed walking towards her office. "Like those two will ever get along. Eh, its possible. I just wish good luck to the operatives there who have to deal with them.", she said as she shut the door, hearing the COOLBUS take off.
A/N: Um... hey guys. Sorry for the SOOPER long update (and the short chapter). I have a lot of possibly reasonable excuses (like how it was my birthday a few days ago, my computer broke down or I have a cold right now thanks to my little brother), but I'll just skip it and say sorry. I'm also kinda having writers block (which blows).
Can't really promise when I'm gonna update but what I can say is that chapter 5 is already half way done and WAY longer than this one. Thanks for the reviews! Virtual cookies or virtual hugs from Kuki for you! :D Funny, this chapter has 860 words xP
Oh, and I posted a drawing of that scene of Wally and Kuki in the end of the last chapter on my DeviantArt. So if you wanna see it, go check it out! (the link of my dA is on my profile). Later y'all! *ACHOO* Stoopid cold!
- Numbuh 424, over and out.
