(Freaky Thursday)

*September 25th, 1941*

*7:12 am*

Anya and Cynthia were staring at each other while Anya was caught off guard due to the question she was just asked.

"Wait. Do you want me to trade places with you? I don't even know your name or anything about you?" Anya had spoken back in a confused tone of voice as she saw Cynthia taking off her sunglasses which made her gasp at her appearance.

"My name is Cynthia, I'm a model. singer, and everything in between but you may have noticed that we look alike to the very bone, right?" Cynthia had introduced herself as she saw Anya nodding her head in understandment.

"Wow, If you think about it, We kinda do look similar but I don't know if I should go through with this or not since I don't want anyone to worry or anything and besides, I don't know if your family, friends and whatnot are good people or not" Anya had spoken back in a tone of confusion yet curiosity as she saw Cynthia shake her head in denial.

"Don't worry about that, My folks back at home are such fine people so you don't have to worry about that but to ease your worries, It's only until tomorrow night so It shouldn't take too long or anythin" Cynthia had advised to Anya as this caused the young girl to think about what she's just been told until coming up with an answer.

"Okay, I guess I should switch places with you but what should I do and is anyone gonna find out?" Anya had asked Cynthia as she was fully on board in switching places with her.

"Nope, I have a birthmark on my neck so that should tell us apart but just to be extra safe…" Cynthia had responded back with a smile on her face as she walked towards Anya with a marker in hand as she eventually drew a small circle on Anya's neck.

"Um, W-what are you doing? A-Are you sure people are gonna think it's a birthmark or something.." Anya had asked with curiosity as she saw Cynthia taking a few steps back before answering the question.

"I was just drawin my birthmark on your neck so nobody won't get suspicious or anythin but to answer your other question, You also gotta sing Over The Rainbow for me tonight since I won't obviously be there but you can do that, right? One of your friends told me that you were such a good singer" Cynthia had answered back as this caught Anya by surprise as she didn't know the events that had taken place the day before.

"W-Wait, WHAT?! Did you impersonate me while I was sick yesterday?! Why would you do that?" Anya had asked in a tone of surprise and shock while Cynthia nodded her head in confirmation.

"Yeahh but only during lunch but I wasn't mean to your friends or anythin but I did talked to your friend Nancy and she kinda knows about everything since I've told her but despite that, Are you still up for the plan?" Cynthia had spoken back to Anya as Anya had thought about everything for a moment before speaking up.

"Okay, I know I shouldn't be doing this but this could also spice up things on my end so I guess I should say yes, I'll be glad to switch places with you" Anya had answered back as she saw Cynthia smiling with such joy which made her smile back.

"Wonderful, I guess I should give you my ID just in case anyone gets suspicious or anythin since you are sixteen and don't worry about the clothes as well, They'll just have you wear spare ones anyways" Cynthia had spoken back to Anya as she walked over to hand over the ID to her while looking over to see a car approaching them.

"Oh, that's them! Just play cool and don't even worry about a thing, okay? Have a wonderful day and see you tomorrow!" Cynthia had spoken to Anya once more as she waved her goodbye before quickly leaving the scene.

"I sure hope this actually works out but I guess I should get ready for my ride…" Anya had thought to herself as the black car slowly approached her as a young boy who was around the age of twenty two came out.

"Good Morning, Cynthia. It's me, Robert. It's about time that we've found you since we searched all day yesterday searching for you.." Robert had spoken to Anya as he was under the impression it was Cynthia as he saw Anya starting to speak.

"G-Good Morning! I'm sorry for yesterday, I got lost while I was walking since it's rather a big city…" Anya had spoken back in a polite tone of voice as she entered the car while Robert sat next to her.

"No worries, You were born and raised in Mississippi so It makes sense for someone like you to get lost in the big apple but without further ado, Let's head back to the theater so we could rehearse.." Robert had spoken back to Anya as the car began to drive towards their destination.

"So, how was your day yesterday? I'm assuming it was eventful since you guys were looking for me" Anya had asked Robert while waiting for her answer as she stared out of the window as the car was driving.

"It was eventful, I must say! We were looking all over for you but personally, It was good so I can't complain" Robert had answered back as the ride between him and Anya continued for another thirty minutes as they had finally arrived at their destination.

*7:45am*

*Lincoln Theatre*

Anya and Robert had arrived at their destination as they stared at the beautiful theater inspired by greek culture which had a statue of Abraham Lincoln on the front of the steps.

"Wow, this place is beautiful…" Anya had spoken out in awestruck as she stared at the theatre while Robert chuckled to himself.

"It sure is, My grandfather always took me there when I was a kid, the shows were really beautiful, however It does bring back rather painful memories since my grandfather died on these very steps…" Robert had chimed in as this information caught Anya by surprise as she begun to speak.

"I'm sorry to hear that.." Anya had spoken in a tone of sympathy as her comments responded with Robert smiling.

"It's okay, I was young anyways so It's not really bothering as it did years ago but let's not get sad, okay? You have to practice!" Robert had spoken back in a more upbeat tone of voice as he ran up the stairs while Anya followed suit.

"So, how long do the sessions usually take? I'm not in a rush or anything but I'm kinda curious" Anya had asked Robert as the pair made their way towards the doors as Robert opened it for her.

"Usually it's a few hours since we gotta do our very best since it's tomorrow so I hope your throat can take the singing" Robert had answered back as he and Anya entered the theatre as it was a large yet beautiful room filled with many Greek inspired imagery.

"Wooow, It's very beautiful and I'm sure I can take it as well" Anya had spoken back as this made Robert smile at her as a voice suddenly called out.

"There you are, We've been looking all over for you! You must get up there and practice, asap!" A woman with blond hair had called out which made Anya and Robert turn their direction to the person.

"Mrs Miller, It's good to see you, I'm ensured that Cynthia practices for the big show so I'm gonna be on her case" Robert had spoken to Mrs Miller as this caught Anya by surprise.

"Wait, Is that Judith's MOTHER?! She looks so much like her…" Anya thought to herself as she knew that things were gonna get more interesting from this point on.

*Highlands High School*

*7:55am*

Cynthia was reading in the library as she saw Nancy approaching her with a smile on her face.

"Oh, Cynthia, It seems like your little plan had worked out after all.." Nancy had spoken to her new friend as she sat down across from her while Cynthia quietly chuckled to herself.

"It sure did, It's only until tomorrow so It's not like anyone is gonna notice anyways…" Cynthia had spoken back with a smile on her face as she looked over to see Judith and Neville entering the library and setting their targets on them.

"Oh god, It's Bonnie and Clyde. Just act like Anya and all should be well.." Nancy had advised Cynthia in a serious tone of voice as her new friend nodded her head in agreement.

"I know, I'm actually good friends with her mother but Judith is just on a whole other level.." Cynthia had spoken back as she and Nancy were ready for the potential confrontation.
