Jezel Blackwind: Glad you liked the incident with Nila and the football. You might like this chapter. Thanks for reviewing.
Tezza: I'm easily amused as well. Yeah I can picture Thierry doubling over in pain with the whole "Holy Horus" as well. I cracked up when I reread that part. Thank you for reviewing.
Sad to say, that in another couple of chapter's time, this story might come to an end.
Anyways. On with the story. Another funny scene coming up.
********************************** PART 19 ******************************
I wake up feeling groggy the next afternoon. I crack my eyes open and hold one hand up for inspection and find that it's still man sized.
"Dammit! It didn't work.' I mumble to myself.
I sit up and swing my legs over the side of the iron-framed bed.
"My groin doesn't hurt that much anymore." I muse, going into the bathroom to have a shower.
An hour later I come out of the steamy bathroom and into my bedroom.
I search through the piles of clothes that Thierry has given me, and finally settle for a pair of bleached white jeans, an ivory silk shirt and a pair of white leather boots.
I go back into the bathroom to comb my short messy white blonde hair.
"Boy, I look too much like an angel." I mutter to myself. "Thierry man. You're one hot guy, no wonder why Hannah feel for you. Yeah, beautiful, but deadly. An angel with fangs."
I come out of the bathroom and out the door of my bedroom. I go in search for Thierry to see what needs to be done today.
I come to a dead stop in front of Hannah and Thierry's bedroom door. I can hear music coming from inside.
I knock the door, but no one answers. I open the door a crack but I am limited as to how much I can see, so I push the door open all the way.
What I see will make my blood run cold for the rest of eternity, and has been imprinted on my mind, which will stay there forever.
I find Thierry on top of the bed dancing in my underwear!!
Good Lord in the heavens. What is he doing?
I look around the room and find that Hannah is not there, and is a good thing too.
Thierry, seemingly oblivious to my being there, continues to prance around acting all idiotic.
All at once I recognise the song that he's dancing to, is 'You sexy thing.' By Hot Chocolate.
Please don't tell me that Thierry started off fully dressed and is about to strip naked?
After watching this…this…torture, I decide to do something because he has his hands on the clasp of my bra, ready to take it off.
"Thierry Descouedres!! What in Isis' name are you doing?" I hiss.
Well, it worked. It got his undivided attention.
He whirls around and seeing me therefore the first time, throws his arms around himself.
"Nila? What are you doing here?" he splutters.
"What in Zeus' name are you doing?" I shriek.
"N…nothing." he stammers. A deep red starts to creep into his face and he looks like a red traffic light.
"Nothing! It didn't look like nothing to me." I yell. "Why on earth were you prancing on the bed acting like a headless chicken?" I demand.
"I was just having a bit of fun." He whispers, putting his head down. Talk about hanging your head in shame.
"What if someone other than me had've walked in and seen you doing that…what the hell were you doing?" I start to get a bit hysterical.
"I was dancing." He says, head still down.
"That wasn't dancing. That was…I don't know what that was. Stripping!" I still yell.
At that moment Ash, Quinn and Delos walk into the room.
"Oh my good God." All three of them whisper, looking in Thierry's direction.
"Nila?" Ash starts.
"Yes Ash?" I ask, snapping at him.
"You have a nice set of boobs on you." Ash says grinning like a Cheshire cat.
"Ash Redfern!" I snap.
"What?" he asks innocently.
"What the hell do you guys want?" I demand.
None of them answer; instead they look at Thierry hungrily.
I take off my ivory silk shirt and put it on Thierry, trying my best to cover up my dignity.
"Again, I ask. What the hell do you guys want?" I yell at them.
"We wanted to know if we were going to read some more of those hard to read books again." Delos mumbles, looking away in shame. A few seconds later Ash and Quinn follow suit.
"Yes, we will. Just as soon as Michael Flatly here gets dressed." I say to them, nodding in Thierry's direction.
"Okay, thanks." Delos says.
"We'll be going now." Quinn says for the first time since coming in here. "Come on Ash. Let's go."
Both Quinn and Delos drag a reluctant Ash out of the room.
I turn towards Thierry, who still won't meet my gaze.
"Well?" I start.
"Well, what?" He asks, oblivious to what I'm suggesting.
"Are you going to get dressed or are you going to the fourth floor in your underwear?" I ask in a flat tone.
"Yes. I'm going to get dressed now." He replies, taking off the shirt and tosses it to me.
I put the shirt back on and sit down on the bed waiting for Thierry to come out of the bathroom.
Fifteen minutes and a lot of steam later, Thierry emerges from the bathroom wearing a small towel.
"What in Hades name did you think you were doing dancing around in my bra and knickers?" I hiss.
"Sorry. It's been a long time since I was seventeen. I was just reliving my youth." He mumbles.
"You stripped when you were my age?" I ask bewildered. "They had cavemen strippers in your day?"
"No. I was just having some fun." He says going over to his hidden wardrobe and gets out some of they clothes I brought for him the other day.
"Well, I would object if you were stripping when you were in your own body. In fact I'd encourage you to keep on stripping." I admit. Oh yeah, I have a thing for Thierry. "But you are in my body and it's me that's going to be humiliated because of your desire to strip."
"You got a football in the groin yesterday." He brings up.
"Don't remind me." I say. "That was an accident, it wasn't on purpose." I continue.
"Yeah well, I didn't mean to strip." Thierry continues.
"What? Did you just happen to fall on top of the bed, dance around and strip?" I ask.
"No. But…"
"But nothing. Thierry, you're thousands of years old." I cut him off.
"I feel weird." He starts.
"Weird, how?" I ask.
"Like I'm actually seventeen again." He continues.
"And I feel as though I'm really thousands of years old." I analyse my body, and the way it feels. "Thierry? You don't suppose that we're going to be stuck this way forever, do you?" I start to panic.
"I don't know. We better go and look for Mother Cybele." Thierry suggests.
"I think you're right." I agree.
Thierry gets dressed and I brush his hair for him.
We head out of the room and go on the hunt for Mother Cybele.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Oh dear." Mother Cybele says when we tell her what we think is happening. "I think you're right. Oh poor dears."
"So, if we don't get ours bodies back and soon, then we'll become stuck like this forever?" I ask, again bewildered.
"I'm afraid so." The plump woman says quietly.
"Great Isis." I murmur.
"Hey Nila?" James asks.
"Hi James. What's up?" I mutter.
"How's your…ah…um…?" He stumbles over his words, making vague gestures with his hands over his crotch.
"It's…fine. Still a little sore, but I'll live." I reply.
"That's good to hear. Sorry for that." He says.
"Don't worry about it." I answer.
"So…anyone care to share any ideas in how Nila and I go about getting our bodies back?" Thierry asks.
"Wait a minute." I say, a light switching itself on in my head. "I got it."
"What is it?" Thierry asks.
"I know why the wish didn't work." I say looking at him.
"Well? What went wrong?" He asks when I don't continue.
"The wish didn't work because I was the only one to make it." I point out.
Thierry doesn't get what I'm saying.
"Thierry? You agreed to the wish when I made it the first time. Maybe if you agree again, maybe it'll work this time." I explain.
"Yes. That just might work." Aradia says.
"Okay. Nila? Make your wish." Thierry says.
"I wish to the Goddess that Thierry and I could have our lives back.' I yell the same way as I did last night.
"So do I." Thierry yells as well.
All of a sudden the room starts to spin out of control, and I black out.
