Chapter 3,
The rock aliens were practically done with Jimmy's rocket when the gang walked up to it. Although their walking was a bit different, they all pitched in a hand and soon were on their way back to earth. They were pretty silent for about and hour before Sheen's constant fidgeting overcame him.
"I can't believe that you did this to us, Jimmy." Sheen said and Jimmy turned to look at her.
"What do you want from me, Sheen? I didn't ask to turn into... this." Jimmy said with disgust in his voice.
"Oh, hey, well at least you don't have to worry about pain when you sit down. Men are not meant to wear girl caprices." Cindy said and Jimmy gave him a sympathetic look.
"Sorry, but I'm piloting this vessel as fast as I safely can." Jimmy said, brushing a strand of loose hair behind her ear.
"Well, can you help me, Jimmy?" Sheen said and Jimmy looked at her.
"What's your problem?" Jimmy asked her and Sheen tugged at her pants.
"My pants don't fit right. They are tight around my hips and loose in... other places." Sheen said and Jimmy sighed.
"That's a natural problem to have Sheen." Jimmy said and Libby looked at him.
"What do you mean?" He asked and Jimmy paused.
"Women have larger hips then men for the purpose of giving birth. That is one reason why men lack rotation in their pelvis and are often seen using more space when they sit." Jimmy said and Carl looked down at her pants.
"My pants fit me fine. Although I do go shopping with my mom." Carl said and Jimmy sighed and turned towards the steering wheel and she noticed an uncomfortable movement that she forgot to expect. She shuttered and Cindy looked at her.
"I wish those aliens would have been kind enough to give us a change of clothes. After all, those new puppies of yours need cages." Cindy said and Jimmy blushed when she looked at him.
"That's inappropriate... but accurate... Those aliens are formed of rocks so they don't have to handle with... um..." Jimmy paused to find the right words.
"Different flabby parts that make men and women different." Cindy said and Sheen blinked at him.
"Did she say what I think she did?" Sheen said and Jimmy rubbed the back of her neck.
"Well, yes, I believe he did." Jimmy said and Libby looked at her.
"You're the first person to use the reversed term." Libby said and Jimmy paused.
"It seems that you are correct. But right now Cindy is a boy so 'he' is correct." Jimmy said and Cindy crossed his arms and looked out the window.
"You should get a bra on when you get back to earth, Jimmy. You can hurt the girls and your back if you don't get one soon. Not to mention the extra unwanted attention you WILL receive if you don't wear one." Cindy said and Jimmy cringed with almost every word.
"It seems like you have more of a filter when you were a girl." Libby said and Cindy shrugged.
"Somehow, speaking my mind with purpose seems less important." Cindy said with another shrug and Libby sighed as he took a look at Sheen. An idea occurred to him and he tilted his head as he looked at her. This staring made Sheen uncomfortable and she shoved her hands in her pockets and turned away from him.
"You know, Cindy, it looks like Jimmy and Sheen are close to our cup sizes. Maybe we can give them the bras we wore out here." Libby said and Cindy said and he turned from the window and stared at Jimmy's breasts, which instantly made Jimmy uncomfortable.
"I think you're right, but even if we gave Jimmy and Sheen our bras, what will Carl do?" Cindy asked and Carl was only have paying attention for she started reading a magazine she left in the ship from another expedition.
"I already have a bra." Carl said and everyone stared at her but she never noticed the silence.
"Oook, then..." Cindy said as he stood up.
"Let's go get them." Libby said. Later after embarrassingly swipping the bras from the boys, Jimmy and Sheen had the bras on their body.
"Libby, this thing is poking me." Sheen said and Libby sighed.
"Well when I gave it to you the underwire in it was fine." Libby said and Sheen scratched awkwardly at his back.
"I still don't know which one was the underwire, but it's my back." Sheen said and Libby sighed.
"Well, maybe out of the latches came undone, it happens you know. But go to the bathroom and you can turn the bra around and check." Libby said and Sheen blushed.
"No, it hurt way to much to shimmy it around to wear it." Sheen said and Libby shrugged.
"Well maybe you can use the mirror to see if it's undone, without moving it. But if it is undone, then you probably need to turn it back to the front to fix it." Libby told her and Sheen's face actually looked a little pale.
"Um, well... Actually it's not bothering me anymore." Sheen said and she went and sat next to Carl and read the magazine over her shoulder. Cindy felt that he should laugh at Sheen because it's silly for a girl to not know how to work a bra. But he still had a girl's mind and he remembered how much twisting a bra back and forth can hurt, so he just turned to Jimmy said took a deep breath.
"So what about you? Did you have any trouble?" Cindy asked her and Jimmy blushed.
"Well, it seems that your... bra... is different then Libby's... bra... and I found that it was easy to wear. In fact, I don't even know exactly what Sheen and Libby were talking about." Jimmy shamefully admitted and Cindy chuckled.
"Well, I guess you're in luck. What you're wearing is a special bra called a 'Sports Bra'. I figured that it would be a nice one to wear since we were suppose to do a lot of digging." Cindy said and Jimmy gave him a small smile.
"Hey, Jim." Carl said and Jimmy looked at him.
"What is it?" Jimmy asked and Carl shifted uncomfortably.
"Well, I was just thinking... What are we suppose to tell our parents when we get to earth?" Carl said and Jimmy sighed.
"When we get to earth, our parents will be gathered in one location. I will talk to them and hopefully explain the situation in a way that won't make them panic. Goddard will start explaining and I will finish. Then we will reveal everyone and they can start, well, adjusting." Jimmy said and Libby bit her lip.
"Oh, I don't know Jimmy. I mean, my parents aren't really use to you doing stuff to me. I mean, Cindy's parents expect something more then mine. This could really shock them to their graves." Libby said and Jimmy sighed.
"Now I agree that this is a shock, but they will eventually get use too it. After a few days they won't be surprised anymore." Jimmy said and Sheen gasped.
"Wait a minute, Jimmy. If your a girl... does that mean that you need a girl's name?" Sheen said and Jimmy hesitated.
"I was trying to not think about that. But yes, we will probably need to change our names while we are like this. In fact using a different name might help our parents adjust more to our current state." Jimmy said and Cindy thought about this.
"Well, I remember my parents telling me that they planned for a boy and a girl when mom was pregnant with me. I think if I was born a boy then they would have named me Logan. And honestly, I kinda like that." Cindy admitted and Carl smiled.
"Logan... I think there is a Logan in Llama Boy the Super Hero. If I am right, then Logan was the name of the evil Dr. Llama and tried to steal Llama Girl from Llama Boy." Carl said and Cindy contorted her face.
"Well, I don't have to be named 'Logan'." Cindy muttered and Sheen blinked.
"Hey, wait. You made me watch that episode. I remember because of all the Llama's and I wouldn't watch it but I was stuck between you and your parents." Sheen said and Carl snorted.
"Yeah, so...?" Carl asked and Sheen rolled her eyes.
"My point is that, the villain you're talking about wasn't named Logan. It was Larry." Sheen said and Carl thought about this.
"Oh, yeah, that's right. Cindy you should name yourself 'Larry'." Carl said and Cindy shook his head at them.
"Goodness." He muttered and Jimmy smiled and tried not to giggle at this conversation.
"Ok, we better contact our parents now. Goddard, can you contact them?" Jimmy asked and Goddard her little cat head and stared at her, doing nothing.
"Oh, come one boy. I mean, girl... Whose a good... Cat." Jimmy said and she realized how silly she sounded in front of her friends. But Goddard stood up and pawed at her shoelaces. Jimmy looked down at Goddard and saw that the screen that Goddard normally hid in his chest, was now hidden on her back. But Jimmy saw that Goddard was in fact contacting their parents and Jimmy stared out the windshield. What on earth is she suppose to tell their parents when he sees them?
