The following two days after my return where, as I like to call them, the busiest days of my life. Everyone wanted to know how the machine worked. After I showed them, they told me they would pay me to make another, so I did, with a little help from my other-dimensional friends of course. I fulfilled my promise to Matt and was a guest on his show (my face was pixilated). After awhile we made a smaller version of the machine. Soon the military found out about the machine, and I was called to present it. And this is where we begin.

"Washington D.C.!" I yell

Parker nods.

"You're being called to Washington D.C. to present the machine in front of the head president of the United States."

I groan.

"What, America's west coast is six hundred miles away? And the west coast is how many miles away?"

"Approximately 2,800 miles."

I groan.

"It's not even entirely my invention."

Parker rolls his eyes.

"Then what about the you from the other dimension?"

He still hasn't met them, and from what I can get out of him, he doesn't want to."

"Yeah, she'll come."

Parker's face turns red.

"The girl one?"

I nod.

"Yeah. After all she was the one who helped."

Parker throws up his hands.

He turns to me.

"You are by far the strangest person I've ever met."

I look at him straight.

"I know. I'M the weirdest person I've ever met."

"Touché."

He leaves.

Oh my gosh! D.C, huh?

I grab the dimensional device.

"Best tell Jewel."

I chick the button and I'm warped away.

I look up and I'm in the cafeteria of the organization Alpha building, in where I suspect is the gender swap dimension.

People are rushing around me.

"Hey Jole."

I turn to see Felecia.

"Hey Fi, where's Jewel?"

She points to the hall.

"In the lab working on the device more. Get this, she actually threw a computer against the wall."

I smirk.

"Did anybody get hurt?"

"It went through the wall and hit the receptionist, but he's fine."

"Good."

Wait did she say he!

"Did you say he!?"

She looks confused.

"Yeah, our receptionist is a boy."

"So is mine!"

She looks confused.

"Well... that's weird."

"You know what, never mind. I'll just go to Jewel."

"Okay, bye."

I wave a good-bye as I walk to the lab.

When I get close, I hear someone screaming at someone else.

"You cherry-brained moron! If you would've broke that, I'dev shut you down for sure!"

I hear the reply, in what is obviously Jewel's voice.

"You overreact, it's fine."

I knock on the door.

It's locked and I hear them about to fight.

"I don't even believe the machine does what you say it does, and if it doesn't, I'll personally see to it that Organization Alpha will be shut down for sure!"

I break the door and open it myself.

They both look at me.

"Hello."

They straighten up.

"Jole, this is Ally Hermain, the Secretary of State."

I nod in her direction.

"Hey, I need to talk to you." I say to Jewel.

"Can it wait, I have to prove the machine works.

She then opens her eyes and face palms.

"Miss Hermain, this is Jole Neal."

I put out my hand and she shakes it.

"Neal? Are you related?"

We both smirk.

She gets a surprised expression.

"No way..."

I pull up the machine I brought with me, because it fits in my pocket.

"What is that?"

"It's the dimensional machine, portable of course."

She stares at me.

"Then you..."

"Yeah, I'm Jole, she's Jewel, we're practically one and the same."

She breathes heavily and stands up straight.

"Good day, Mr. and miss Neal."

She walks out of the room.

"Wow, and I thought I was stubborn."

She rolls here eyes.

"Do you need something?"

I nod.

"In a few days, I'm going to Washington D.C, the Capitol of the United States, to present the machine to the president of the United States."

She looks surprised.

"Don't sell it!"

"Don't worry, I probably won't. I will, however, get better scientists to help and update the machine."

She nods.

"That's reasonable, but why did you come here?"

"Because I need a demonstration."

She nods.

"Well, you where my demonstration today, so what's the harm done? I mean, I've only ever been to your dimension once."

I nod.

"Good, thanks."

I'm about to leave when I remember to give her a copy of the blue prints for the portable version of the device.

"Oh, yeah."

I turn around.

"Here, I almost forgot."

I hand her the blue prints.

"We where one step ahead."

She face palms.

"Thanks."

"No prob."

I walk out of the lab, and walk down the hall.

I come up to the receptionist. Oh my, it's the exact same guy.

"Hi."

"Hello, Jole."

I'm kinda confused, but I know the receptionist won't talk to me because I'm "obnoxious" or slime thing like that.

I pull out the domination all device and press the other button.

When I look up, I'm back in my room.

"Good."

I walk out of my room and down the hall.

I sneak past my receptionist, because he's creeping me out right now.

"Hello again, Jole."

"I'm not talking to you!" I yell

I click the button on the elevator.

Outside I pull out the stone I made when I combined the items.

"How did I know to make this?"

"It comes."

I look up to see who was talking.

"Reaper."

"Neal."

I kinda hate this guy.

"Whatcha want this time?" I ask.

"I'm here to warn you."

I roll my eyes.

"What could you possibly warn me about?"

He looks over his shoulder.

"Listen Jole, in two weeks he's coming for you. You broke the rules, and now he's worried you'll find him. If I where you, I'd get some help."

He looked looks over his shoulder.

"I got to go."

He disappears.

I feel a burning anger for that guy.

"Who's the guy he's talking about?"

The question would be answered in a few weeks, I guess.

The next morning, I have to get up and go on a plane to Washington D.C. with Stephen.

"America, huh?"

After the Third World War, Americans and the Japanese exported to the United Reigons, which is why there's a big racial mix there, and I can speak a little bit of Japanese.

I look out the window.

A few wingwills fly by.

Pokemon, it's been awhile sconce they've been in my life. We created a virtual reality where our Pokemon do their daily life in practically a dream. I visit sometime, but I'm a busy guy.

I sigh.

I scratch the side of my face.

What the hay?

There's a crack.

I look around to see if anyone was looking.

I quickly make my way to the bathroom, where I heal back up and go back to my seat.

A little boy points at me and whispers something to a boy next to him, who I presume is his brother.

"What? Do I have something in my teeth?" I ask.

He shakes his head.

"What is it then?"

"Um your eyes are red."

Why is it always the eyes? It there not one other person with red eyes?

"I know." I reply.

"Was it a prank?"

I roll my oddly colored eyes.

"No, it's completely natural."

Just like me! I think sarcastically.

The boy turns away and I take my seat.

I opened a comic and began reading.

"Weak..." I mutter as the hero used his most powerful attack.

We get off of the plane at 6:00 pm Univah time.

We get a cab and ride to our hotel.

"Two bed two bath five stars." I heard Stephen say.

Cool, I could care less.

I keep getting the feeling something's going to go wrong tomorrow at the presentation.

Inside the hotel room, I see that they are obviously being paid more for us.

"Ah, see they trying to soften is up to sell the device. I won't budge!"

I see a large platter of assorted sweets on the table with a label that says"Jole Neal."

I squint.

"This just became war."

Stephen rolls his eyes as he flips through a pamphlet.

"Do you want to go on a ghost tour?"

I'm already halfway through the platter.

"Sure."

He looks up.

"Come on Jole, show a little self-control."

I shrug.

"If I wasn't it'd all be gone."

He rolls his eyes.

"When is the ghost tour?" I ask

"In a few minuets."

I get up.

"Then let's go."

"And on this very spot, it's said that demons walk on a full moon." The tour guide said.

"B-but it's a full moon tonight!" A little girl squealed.

I roll my eyes.

Stephen looks at me.

"Well I guess the legend is true." He whispers to me.

I elbow him in the shoulder.

"And now, the last legend."

Everybody stood quietly.

"It's said that on this very night, a boy with red eyes will visit and take a single soul."

The people huddled scared.

"Pretty intriguing, don't ya think." Someone whispers in my ear.

"Go away Reaper."

"Hey, I got a legend to fulfill."

I punch him in the face.

"Go fulfill the gaps in your teeth."

He leaves.

The people where staring at me.

"What?"

"Edre yeestay." Stephen whispers to me.

"What?"

"Red eyes."

Crap I forgot my eyes glow when I'm mad.

The little girl is whimpering.

"Don't take me."

I roll my eyes.

"Sorry." I say as I walk away with Stephen.

The next evening...

I inhale.

"Alright, shake the feeling off."

I keep getting the feeling something's going to happen tonight.

"It's just a private presentation."

I hold up the DNA analysis between me and Jewel.

"Best get her now."

I click the button.

I'm back in the hall. The lights are off.

I knock on Jewel's door.

"Yeah, I'm almost ready."

She comes out wearing a jacket.

"Okay, come on, put your hand on the device."

She does and I press the second button.

I'm back in my hotel room.

"Wow, five stars." She says.

I roll my eyes.

"Come on."

Someone knocks on the door.

"Yeah?"

"It's time Jole."

I walk out of the room.

"Oh, hi Jewel."

"Sup."

We walk down to the front and I see a limo.

"Okay, nope." I say.

Stephen looks at me, and Jewel face palms.

"Seriously I hate limos." She looks at me. "We hate limos."

Stephen throws up his hands.

"Why!?"

"Long story." We both say.

The limo driver opened the door.

"Sirs and miss, are you coming?"

Stephen turned and looked at him.

"Yes, yes."

He climbed in, and we had to as well.

At the building (I didn't know what it was called, so I just called it the building) we walked to the elevator and went up.

I sigh, I get a different feeling.

Jewel glares at me.

"You feel it too."

I nod.

I start breathing heavy.

We're at the door.

I walk in first.

"Good evening, Mr. Neal."

The president greeted me.

I feel an aura of darkness near. Is that normal for meeting the president of the United States?

I feel sick with the feeling, and I'm sure Jewel is too.

"Hi."

I pull up the device and begin the presentation.

"When will you learn to take my warnings..."

Stephen and Jewel come through the door.

"What is it Jole! Jewel keeps telling me something's wrong!"

The president stands up.

"My my, is that girl from another dimension?"

Something touches my back and I fall on my knees. Next to me, I see Jewel is doing the.

"Good morning, Mr. President."

It's a grim reaper, but a different one.

The president's bodyguards open fired, but no damage was done.

"Ha ha, my turn."

I could hear an energy blast.

He looks down at us.

"Oh, well if it isn't the Alpha and the out of place Alpha. You two have caused me more trouble than anyone else. I know I can't kill you, so I'll use you."

I feel searing pain shoot through my back.

"I'll take these."

He takes out necklaces.

"Now, goodbye."

The pain stretches through my body and I feel my face cracking.

No...

Jewel's face was cracking too.

"I'm sorry... for causing this..."

I try to some on light energy, but I can't absorb it.

I have one chance.

I pull out the stone in my pocket and absorb it.

Please work...

My heart pumps.

I open my eyes, my two eyes, in complete control of myself.

I look at my tiger-striped arm.

I look at Jewel, who was still transforming into true form.

"Hang on Jewel!"

I rush outside and see the town's burning.

"Well, shoot. That sure puts a dampener on things."

I grab a stone and crush it, creating dirt.

"Okay, now I need ash."

I go next to a burning building and scrape off some ash. The building falls apart.

"Wasn't me!"

I go back up to where Jewel is.

"Alright here we go."

I create a small fire, and summon dark energy.

"Let's do this again."

They combine and I give the stone to Jewel.

She takes it in a hurry, absorbs it, and sighs in relief.

"Thanks."

I grab Stephen.

"Yeah, well I'll send you the bill."

"What bill?"

"You'll see."

She looks at her arms.

"Wow, tiger stripes."

I grab her hand.

"We need to go quickly!"

I take her hand and press the button on the dimensional machine.

We burst out in the hallway.

"Hey! Someone!"

I try to get up, but I'm already exhausted.

Exhausted!? But I can't physically be tired!

"Help..."

Someone's coming.

I begin to black out.

Someone comes down and gasps.

Everything goes black.

"What is that?"

"I think they're Jole and Jewel."

"Really, I don't even know what those are."

"If you're going to talk about me that way, make sure I'm asleep."

They stop talking and look at me.

I open my eyes.

Wait... what are Rose and Parker doing here?

"Why are you guys here? This is the other dimension."

Rose looked down.

Parker stared straight at me.

"It's burning as we speak."

I open my eyes wide.

"It's burning!?"

"Yeah. We came here as a last resort."

I try to get up, but I'm strapped to the bed.

"Why am I strapped to the bed?"

Parker rolls his eyes and begins to untie me.

"We thought you might have been something different, because we haven't seen this one before."

"No, you thought there where something else." Rose points out.

They? Oh crap Jewel.

"Where's Jewel?"

I get up.

"Hey hey, she's fine, she's over here!"

I look over at her.

She looked almost just like I do right now.

"By the way, what's with the tiger stripes?"

I tell him about the stone.

"Hmm, so it also protects you from true form?"

"Correct."

"Then it should be safe to turn back to normal now."

I sigh.

I summon light energy and reject the stone.

I absorb the light energy and turn back to normal. Except I didn't.

My eyes where purple and so where my veins. Within a minute, I turned back to true form.

"Wha-!?"

I grabbed the stone and absorbed it again.

"What was that!?"

I look back up at him.

"No! This can't happen!" I yell.

"What, what is it!?

I stare him in the eye.

"It's the dark Alpha virus!"
