"HOW CAN IT BE CLOSED?!" Christian shrieked at the top of his lungs. A few passers-by turned to stare at him.
"I don't know" Rose muttered, in a miserable voice. Her face was pale and looked nervous. She was shaking slightly.
"It can't be closed" Lissa whispered. She sounded scared, and sent a quick look in Roses direction. "What are we going to do?"
"To be honest, I really don't know" Rose replied. She walked over and took a seat down on a bench that was positioned close by. Her dark hair spilled down her shoulders as her head hunched forward, disguising the horrified look on her face.
"I never liked jewelry stores" Adrian muttered.
"I always liked them. Actually I used to work in one!" Dimitri announced. Everyone snapped their heads in his direction. Dimitri grinned at them, not looking particularly embarrassed about what he had just said.
"When the hell did you work in a jewelers?!" Rose demanded. Dimitri shot her a quick grin.
"Earlier today, actually. I got bored just hanging around at the school and made a quick trip here. They needed a bit of help, so I decided to lend them a hand" Dimitri explained. Rose nodded her head, trying to hide her disbelief. She just couldn't imagine Dimitri working in a jewelers.
"So you actually worked in a jewelry store?" Christian questioned, as if to confirm what Dimitri had just said. He didn't seem to believe it. Actually, no one did.
"Yes, that's what I said. How do you think my hands got all sparkly" Dimitri said, sticking up his palms for everyone to see. They were covered in glitter, and seemed to shimmer in the light. "Well Adrian's hands anyway" he corrected himself quickly.
Adrian's jaw dropped open.
"What the hell did you do to my hands?!" he screeched. Dimitri shot him an unfazed look.
"I Cullen-fied them" he replied.
"You what?" Adrian demanded.
"Cullen-fied them. Haven't you ever read twilight?" Dimitri questioned. Before Adrian could say anything else, Christian cut in.
"You actually read twilight?" he demanded. Dimitri nodded his head, and then turned around swiftly. He pulled his pants down slightly, much to Janine and Alberta's horror, and showed them the image on his underwear. It was of Robert Pattinson.
"That…is…sick" Adrian said, emphasizing each word. Dimitri shrugged his shoulders.
"Go Team Edward" was all he said.
"No way, Jacob rocks" Christian disagreed with him. Dimitri looked at Christian.
"You read twilight too?" Dimitri questioned. Much to Roses disgust, Christian too pulled down his pants. On his underwear was a picture of Taylor Lautner. Rose made gagging sounds.
"We can discuss Spotlight or whatever it's called later. For now, what are we going to do about this problem?" Janine demanded. Everyone quickly began remembering the situation they were in.
"Um…we could…" Rose started, but then stopped. Really, she had no idea what to do.
"You could try putting the charms back on the bracelet" said someone from behind them. Turning around, they were surprised to see Taye and her friend standing behind them.
"Oh great" Christian muttered, sarcastically. The boy shot him a glare.
"We're only trying to help" he snapped, sounding oddly feminine. Rose frowned slightly –what in the world was wrong with these two?
"You can't help us" Lissa said. Her voice wasn't unfriendly, though it didn't sound very welcoming either.
"Actually we can. See my friends, we once went through the same problem. Unfortunately we weren't as lucky as you" Taye said.
"We aren't your friends" Christian shot back, though his voice was slightly disbelieving. He eyed the two people curiously.
"What do you mean you weren't as lucky as us?" Rose questioned.
"I mean, we didn't get to switch back into our own bodies" Taye replied. Everyone's jaws dropped open. Their eyes bulged as big and round as dinner plates.
"You switched bodies as well?" Lissa demanded. Taye and the boy simply nodded their heads.
"Yes. I said that my friends name was Taye. Well it isn't. His name is Leon. My name is Taye" the boy –Taye –said.
"So how can you help us?" Adrian asked. His voice was slightly challenging.
"What to you mean?" Leon snarled. Adrian flinched back.
"What I mean is that if you couldn't even change yourselves back, how can you change us?" he questioned.
"We know how. It was just too late for us" Taye whispered.
"Might be too late for you as well" Leon piped in. Taye shot her brother a quick glare.
"Shut-up, Leon" she growled. She turned his gaze back too Rose, Dimitri, Lissa, Christian, Adrian, Janine and Alberta.
"Have you guys been in each others bodies for more than a day?" she questioned. All of them shook their heads firmly. A relieved look spread across Leon's face.
"Is that good or bad?" Adrian questioned. Leon rolled his eyes.
"Idiot" he muttered. Christian snickered.
"So what do we do?" Christian questioned.
"Figure it out yourself" Leon retorted. Christian shot him a quick glare.
"Oh for gods sake! You just have to put the charms back in the exact order they were in before they broke" Taye interrupted Leon and Christian's argument. Everyone looked taken aback.
"That's it?" Rose questioned. She had been expecting something more complicated.
"It's harder than it sounds" Leon warned. Taye shot him another, irritated look.
"Yes, that is it" she replied.
"So you two were in each others bodies for more than a day?" Lissa questioned. Taye and Leon both nodded their heads.
"Do you know why the shot keeper closed the shop down?" Rose asked. Once again they nodded their heads.
"She was my mother's friend" Leon said. "After what happened to us she closed the store down." Rose shot him a sympathetic look. Leon rolled his eyes.
"You guys better get going if you want to get back into your bodies soon" Taye said. She gave them nervous smiles. It was obvious that she didn't want them to suffer the same fate that she and her friend had.
"Alright. Bye" Rose said.
"And thank you" Lissa added. Neither Taye nor Leon replied, and when Lissa looked back over her shoulder she saw that the two of them were walking off.
"Let's go" Dimitri exclaimed. He sounded excited about the fact that they now knew how to fix the problem. Everyone looked just excited as he sounded.
