As Sid carefully screwed in the screw into the metal frame of the robot. She then narrowed her eyes, as she looked over the next pieces of scrap metal she had found in the battle ring. But as she moved to place it in the right spot."Whatcha doing?"
"Making a robot." Sid replied, placing the piece down before grabbing a hammer, and starting to bang away at it. "Weren't you playing with Carl?"
"That's later today." Adelaide replied, already walking around the room. While Sid kept the majority of her attention on the robot, she kept an eye on Adelaide. That girl was a lot of things, and the trouble maker was near the top of the list. And as if the nature of trouble flowed just as much as blood in her veins, Adelaide was looking through the books on the shelves. Or more specifically, looking behind them.
"Adelaide." Sid said warningly, but unfortunately she had already found it, and burst out laughing.
"This is what you've been hiding?" Adelaide cackled, waving the photograph out to the world.
"Give it back!" Sid demanded, her cheeks warming up to what had to be hotter than a sand bunny as she groped for it. "How'd you know it was even there?!"
"Carl told me that everyone hides something behind a book." Adelaide said, dancing out of the way of Sid's hand. She then stuffed it back there, before adding with a wide wicked grin. "I hear it's also common to hide diaries under beds!"
Sid narrowed her eyes sharply at the younger girl. "You wouldn't dare." Adelaide wasted no time, and moved to dash under the bed. Sid followed her, and moved to grab her before she could before realizing: "Wait a second! I don't have a dairy!"
"Wait, you don't?" Adelaide asked, getting to her feet. "Huh, I thought everyone had one."
"Wait a minute…" Sid said, eyeing her surroundings suspiciously. "Where is Froggy 2?" as if to answer, she heard a croak behind her. Turning around, she saw Froggy Two had already unscrewed several of the screws, and was getting saliva all over the motherboard. "YOU!" Sid charged, yanked the robot from the frog, and quickly began wiping away the silava.
"Hey!" Adelaide shouted, grabbing the robot and pulling. "You cut Froggy 2's tongue! Apologize!"
"He was messing up my robot!" Sid shouted, pulling back. "And stop snooping through my room!" they pulled as hard as they could, normally Sid was much stronger than Adelaide, being twice as old, but a certain little frog was interfering, so the two kept pulling. And then:
BOOM! And the world went dark.
As Sid opened her eyes, she couldn't help but be grateful that she and Adelaide were home alone. The last thing she needed was to be questioned on the spot. As she woke, the first thing she noticed was a small green thing in front of her, trying to make sure she was ok. "F-froggy 2?" She asked as her vision cleared, before gasping. Her voice sounded a lot younger than it should have been. And it sounded like-
"Why am I looking at myself?" looking, she saw, her. Her dark brown hair, her head band, her blue shirt, all of it. Looking confused, as she looked at Sid. But if that's me, then, she looked down, and screamed.
Her body was now several years younger than normal. Her age having been sliced in half. She now had dark dark brown hair, far closer to black than brown. "I'm Adelaide?!"
"I'm Sid?!" her body shouted, as the two of them stared at each other. "Ok. Just to be sure. Your Sid right? Your mind is?"
"Yeath." Sid replied. "And I'm guessing your Adelaide?" Adelaide in Sid's body nodded. Sid got up, and found that Froggy 2 felt heavier than normal, as she handed him to Adelaide in Sid's body.
"Doesn't every show have a body swap episode?" Adelaide asked as she took Froggy 2 into her hands.
"Well it's highly inconvenient in real life." Sid replied tartly before she began to pace. "And don't even know why it would happen! That robot was meant to do my chores, not this!"
DING DONG! They froze. "We have visitors." Sid ran out of her room to the door and while forced to reach up, she still managed to grab it.
"Are you ok?" Ronnie Anne asked, her entire family behind her. "We heard the explosion and ran up to check."
"We're fine." Adelaide said running up behind Sid. "but wow! I can see so many things from here!" she chuckled, and picked Carl up by the hoodie. "Check this out Carl! I'm taller than you now!"
"What do you mean 'taller than you now'?" Carlota asked suspiciously, narrowing her eyes at them.
Adelaide did a nervous grin as she spotted Sid's expression. "We're….playing a game!" she said. "I have to pretend to be Adeliade stuck in her-" she caught herself. "my body."
"I see Froggy 2's playing along as well." Carl noted, to the frog perched upon Adelaide in Sid's body.
"Give us a sec." Sid said, grabbing Ronnie Anne, and pulled on her arm, dragging her to her room.
"Wow, you're really in character." She said, before her eyes widened at the mess of the room. So did Sid's. Not only did the place suddenly seem bigger, but there were blast marks everywhere, with just about everything coated in a layer of ash. "What happened here?"
"Ruined." Sid said quietly as she walked forward. "This is going to take me ages to clean up! What was that stupid frog thinking?" she moved to the bathroom, and grabbed some wipes. "Honestly!" she matched back in, somewhat aware of Ronnie Anne in her peripheral vision. "At least he has the excuse of being a frog! Adelaide should've known better than to snoop around my room, and should've let me have the robot after that frog put his saliva all over it!"
"Wait, Adelaide?" Ronnie Anne asked, pointing a finger at her as Sid began scrubbing her bed rather hard. "Aren't you Adelaide?"
"No." She replied. "We're not actually playing a game. I don't know how it happened, I was building a robot to do all my chores, when Adelaide burst in, started snooping in my room, then due to us fighting, my robot exploded and now this has happened."
"Wait, the robot exploded?" Ronnie Anne questioned, getting down next to her. "That has to mean something! What was it made up of?"
"Metal, some steel, and circuit boards." Sid replied, looking at the charred remains of the robot. "I haven't added anything fancy yet."
"Well something had to cause it." Ronnie Anne replied. "Where did you get the circuit boards?"
"Old computers from the drop off, and from scavenging the remains of our fighting club."
"Ok," Ronnie Anne grabbed a wipe and helped Sid to clean it up. "where did you get the metal?"
"Scavenged from the fight club." Sid replied. "I mean, this is really weird right? I've seen shows where stuff like this happens, but how does it involve metal?"
"I have no idea." Ronnie Anne confessed. "But maybe if we look at the potential robots the metal might have come from, we'll get an idea."
"Good idea!" Sid beamed, wiping her brow. "Let's do it after school tomorrow! We'll look at the logs!"
"Ummm." Ronnie Anne said, pointing and Sid looked down at herself, and then face palmed.
"I know." she said, baking up a plan. "Let's have Adelaide come up with an excuse for us, say that 'Adelaide' wanted to join 'us' for the rounds! While Adelaide runs the club, I can sneak off and look at the records."
Ronnie Anne blinked."That's kind of confusing, but basically. Adelaide-as-you is going to do the school day as you, then say that you-as-Adelaide wants to join me and Adelaide at the club, as Adelaide."
"Yep." Sid nodded in agreement. "Now, one last thing. How the heck do we tell my parents?"
"Oh dear." Ronnie Anne agreed. "That doesn't sound fun, but maybe like in those shows you can pretend to actually be each other? After all, it won't be easy, but at least you can avoid being punished?"
Sid smirked. "And some awkwardness."
"You want me to pretend to be you for an entire day, and you pretend to be me?" Adelaide asked. "Without telling our parents so we don't get in trouble?"
"Yep." Sid replied. "It can't be too hard. I don't have any tests coming up, so as long as you don't make a fool of yourself, you should be fine."
"Ok…" Adelaide said nervously. "But worksheets! No recess! I'm not ready for sixth grade! I'm barely into second!"
"Relax." Ronnie Anne said. "I'll be with you for homeroom, and the rest of me and Sid's friends can help you as well!"
"Ok." Adelaide sighed, still fidgeting with her hands. "But Sid, you're going to have to survive second grade."
"I survived it once, I can do it again." Sid replied, a smile to her face. "School tomorrow should be a blast!"
So, this is the first chapter. I'm not sure how long it's going to be, but I got to say, it's a pretty fun idea.
