I SHOULD be working on a school project, but I haven't updated in so long that I decided to save the project till a little later. The project only takes literally only about five minutes to make. So, what's been going on with me? Not much. Honestly, these last few days have been nothing but me pigging out on chocolate and other sweets and getting ready for Christmas and my Winter Concert. Colorless and I have a concert this week and I can't wait! Christmas is my favorite holiday of all time! ColorlessRainbow42 is Jewish though, so she doesn't celebrate it. Whenever it's close to Christmas though, I always go all out on decorations and plans and stuff. Anyways, ColorlessRainbow was no help whatsoever in making this chapter, I asked her to help me think of ideas and out of nowhere started talking about Elliot and Zoey and stuff. It was...intresting. Anyways, one of my other assistants wanted me to do something and I decided to use it simply because I liked the idea. So, here's the chapter, please enjoy!
"Christmas time is my favorite time of all. :3 "

"It's not fair!" Tokei yelled at me. "Why can't I go to school!?"
"Tokei." I explained to her as I did my hair. "You can't go to high school and the elementary school is really far away and I can't just leave you alone at school, who knows what could happen? You could be burned up in science, or kids will realize how pale you are, or they'll realize how old you really are..."
"Exactly!" Yelled Tokei "Technically, I'm old enough for collage!"
"Tokei!" I yelled back. "You can't go to school and that's final!"
Tokei sat on the floor angrily. "I hate you." She muttered. "You're terrible at being a sister."
I sighed. "You just don't understand Tokei." I said. "The world just doesn't work the way you want it to."
"I've lived for more than a hundred years, thousands even." Tokei muttered.
"I know." I said. "But school is just something you can't participate in."
"I wish I were human." Tokei said.
I sighed again. I looked at the clock. Time to go to school.
I grabbed my backpack and left the room.
"Bye." I said timidly, but the lair was empty and the only response I got was my echoing voice.
Tokei sat stubbornly in Scarlett ' s room.
Tokei did not understand, why couldn't she go to school with Scarlett?
Zoey walked into the room, she had gone out really early and was now returning home.
"Sup, kid?" She asked and plopped onto her bed.
"Scarlett is mean!" Tokei said.
"What?" Asked Zoey, she did not like hearing negative comments about her friends. "Scarlett isn't mean." Zoey said. "Well...not ALL the time at least."
"She is too!" Tokei said. "She says I can't go to school with her!"
"Oh, well she's right." Zoey said and started working on an unfinished project of hers.
"No one understands!" Tokei groaned. "I wish I were older or something!"
"I thought you couldn't age." Zoey said, looking up. "Aren't you like a doll or something?"
"Well..." Said Tokei. "I at least want to LOOK older. I want to look like a fifteen year old so I can go to school with Scarlett!"
"Hmmm..." Zoey thought. "I might be able to make that happen." She raised up a gun she was working on. "This makes one person look older or younger than what they really are. Reversing the actual process is too much, but I can manipulate it!"
Tokei stared at the gun. "Can you make me look fifteen?"
"Well..." Zoey said "It's not done yet...it might be dangerous."
"Oh..." Tokei said.
"I'm just kidding!" Zoey smiled. "Let's do this!" She stood up.
"Yay!" Tokei said and stood up. Soon, she would look older.
"Now, lemme crank this to 15." Zoey said. She punched the numbers 15 into a small screen on the side of the gun. "And were gonna need your real age right now."
"I'm 11000 years old...give or take a few years." Tokei said.
Zoey was silent.
"Let's just say 9." Zoey said and pressed 9. "Alright!" Zoey said and aimed at Tokei. "Stay still."
The door opened and Scarlett walked through. "Hey guys have you seen my-" And Zoey had already pulled the trigger by then.
I screamed. I just came home to get one of my books and as soon as I walk through the door, bam! There was a bright light and silence.
I opened my eyes. I felt odd.
Zoey stared at me. "Scarlett!" She exclaimed. "Are you okay?"
I looked up, Zoey looked tall. This was odd, Zoey and I were the same height.
"Wow, Zoey." I said. "Did you go through a growth spurt?" I covered my mouth, my voice was a bit more higher pitched than normally.
I looked down and my clothing was baggy now.
Tokei made a small squealing sound. I looked at her.
Tokei now had hips and a slightly bigger chest. Her shoes no longer fit on her and her skirt which was once long and frilly now looked like a miniskirt on her. Her hair was also even longer than before.
"Tokei?" I asked.
"Scarlett?" Asked Tokei.
We stared at each other for a second and then screamed.
"Zoey!" I yelled. "What did you do to me!?"
"Oh god..." Zoey said. "I think I may have accidentally made you 9 years old again."
"What!?" I said. But then, I was silent. "Wait...I'm nine again?"
"Well you LOOK nine again, that's pretty close." Zoey explained.
"So, I don't have to go to school anymore!" I cheered. I waved my arms around in my baggy jacket.
"And now I can go to school!" Tokei smiled.
"Wait a second." I said. I pointed at Tokei. "You wanted this to happen!?"
"Well..." Tokei started. "You wouldn't let me go to school!"
I groaned.
"Zoey, you've got to change us back!" I said.
"Alright." Zoey said and stood up. "You two stand next to each other."
"Wait." Said Tokei. "Am I gonna end up the same as before again?"
"Well..." Said Zoey. "You two need to get your regular ages back."
"No!" Tokei yelled and stamped her foot. "Not until I go to school!"
"You wanna go to school?" I asked. I handed her my backpack. "Fine, go and tell me if it's easy or not!"
"Fine!" Tokei yelled.
"Fine!" I yelled back.
"Fine."
"Fine."
"Fine."
Zoey stared at us.
Tokei grabbed the backpack and tried lifting it up onto her back only to fall from the weight.
"What is in this thing!?" Tokei asked. "Rocks!?"
"No." I said. "Homework."
Tokei groaned and Zoey helped her up.
"Maybe I should walk you to the school." Zoey said to Tokei.
"Yeah." Tokei said. "I think that's best."
"Yeah, you two go." I said.
"Nuh uh." Zoey said "You're coming too young lady, we can't leave a nine year old home alone."
"I'm not a kid!" I said, but I looked at myself again. "Oh, I guess I am."
I had to hold Zoey ' s hand as we walked to the school.
"Bye!" Zoey said to Tokei as we got there. "Good luck."
Tokei was confused. "What do you mean?" She asked. "Where do I go first?"
"Homeroom." I said.
"And what's that?" Tokei asked.
I faceplalmed.
Elliot walked over to us. "Hey Zoey." He said.
"The nerve." Zoey said and clenched her hand. "Talking to me in public."
"Um, who are these two?" Asked Elliot, he pointed to Tokei and I. "Sisters?"
"No." I said. "Elliot, it's me, Scarlett."
Elliot stared at me.
He laughed.
"Good one Zoey." He said. "But that's not scientifically possible."
"Actually, I DID make them like this." Zoey smiled. "I've done the impossible."
"Wait, WHAT!?" Asked Elliot. He kneeled down next to me and stared at me. "How is this - How did you?-How!?"
Zoey smiled and laughed.
"Elliot." I said. "Can you do me a favor and watch Tokei for me today?"
Elliot looked up to see Tokei.
"Sure." He shrugged.
He walked to the school and Tokei followed. "Bye!" He waved at us.
I raised my hand to wave, but Zoey held my hand down and shook her head at me.
"Let's get back to the lair." Zoey said.
"Alright." I said.
The two of us walked home, but my jacket and clothes were so baggy.
People stared at us as we walked to the lair. Once we were in the sewer, I felt more comfortable.
"These clothes are too big." I said to Zoey.
"We don't have anything smaller." Tokei said to me.
I sighed. "This is gonna be fun." I said sarcastically.
We walked to the lair.
"Hey guys." Zoey said as we entered. "You'll never belive what happened."
"What?" Asked the turtles as they turned to face us. When they saw me, they froze.
"Who is that little girl who looks like a mini version of Scarlett?" Asked Mikey.
"Um, Mikey..." I said.
"Wow! She knows my name too!" Mikey exclaimed.
"It IS me." I said. "It's Scarlett."
"Scarlett?" Donnie asked and he squinted at me.
I was nervous.
Now what?
Tokei sat at a desk next to Elliot. She smiled. Something, she didn't normally do. School was going to start soon and how exciting it would be!
"Why are you so happy?" Elliot asked Tokei, he was not quite used to this older version of her.
"School is gonna start." Tokei said excitedly. "I can't wait."
Elliot laughed. "Wow, you have no idea."
Tokei ' s smile faded. What did he mean?
A teacher walked through the door, she was dressed nicely.
"Alright you students!" The teacher yelled and placed a large pile of books and papers on her desk. "Let's start today's lesson."
I smiled and licked my fingers. I was eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It tasted so good. As I ate, I kicked my legs.
In front of me, the turtles stared at me.
"Zoey, what is going on!?" Asked Donnie.
Zoey sighed and explained again. "I used a special aging gun I made and now, Scarlett looks like a nine year old."
"And where is Tokei?" Asked Leo.
"At high school." I said, cheerfully.
"She's where!?" Leo asked.
"We traded places." I said. "She's at my school right now."
I bit into the sandwich again.
"This is scary." Raph said, he stared as I ate. "She's nine years old again!" He pointed at me.
"Yep!" I smiled.
"This isn't good!" Mikey said. "How are you gonna shoot an arrow now!?"
"Hey!" I said. "I can still shoot an arrow as good as I did before!"
"Oh yeah?" Asked Raph, he handed me my heavy bow and arrow. "Go ahead."
I huffed. "Okay." I said. I placed the sandwich next to me, my older self would never had done the same. I grabbed the heavy bow. If It was big before, it was ginormous now. I chuckled nervously.
"It's a bit bigger than I expected." I said.
Raph stared at me.
"But, I can still shoot!" I said quickly. I grabbed an arrow ad shot it at the wall, but it fell in front of me.
I threw the bow and arrow to the ground. "Fighting ' s overrated." I muttered and kept eating.
"Great, now she's useless too." Raph said.
"Zoey, you need to switch her back." Leo said.
"But I don't think it will work unless Tokei is willing to turn back into her old self again." Zoey said. "And Tokei really doesn't want to swap back."
"I like being like this." I said.
Everyone gaped and stared at me.
"Now, I don't have to worry about hard homework or tests or relationships or fighting. I could just stay at the lair from now on." I said. "Maybe this is best." I kept eating.
"No!" Zoey yelled. She stared at me. "Don't say that, I want my best friend back!"
"I'm sitting right here." I said.
"You're not Scarlett!" Zoey yelled. "Scarlett would want to swap back!"
I rolled my eyes. "Yeah whatever." I said.
And everyone just stared.
What was to become of us?
Fun fact, in this fanfiction, Zoey and Scarlett are about the same height more or less, but in reality, ColorlessRainbow is shorter than me by...a lot. I mean, I'm just really tall. Anyways, um...it's weird how much this related to my real life. I'd do anything to be younger and my school life is just so...ugh! Scarlett as a nine year old reminds me of a ccertain nine year old I know...And anyways, one of my cousins and I, we aren't too close but the other day I had an hour long discussion with him about, TMNT! It was awesome! He also gave me lots of season three spoilers and now I'm pretty up to date with the seiries, as always. Man, this week I have so much holiday stuff to do...Can't wait! Oh, and I'm wearing a santa hat right now! Fun! Anyways...This is getting awkward...anyways, please review and I'll work on the next chapter, we're already on twelve! Awesome!
