Phil bumped into Keely, literally outside the Broadcast Lab. "Phil!"
"Keely!" Keely cried. "I know how we changed."
Phil nodded. "Me too. And this is really annoying me. I don't want to be you!"
"Well being you is no picnic either," Keely said.
"Right, so now we both know how we changed, how do we change back?" Phil asked.
Keely shrugged. "No idea."
"Hey! Why don't we...no..." Phil said, but trailed off. "No, that was a dumb idea."
Keely rolled her eyes. "Right. I'm ringing my mom and dad. They might know how, or why we changed."
They went into the Broadcast Lab, and Keely locked the door. Then she held out her hand.
"What?" Phil said.
Keely rolled her eyes again. "The WIZRD. You have it."
"Oh," Phil said, and pulled out the gadget. "Sorry."
"Hey...Keely?" Lloyd said, confused that it was his son's best friend who was contacting him. "Is Phil okay?"
Keely nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine...I mean...he's fine. Look, mom, dad. Me and Keely, we've switched bodies. But it's not a Versa Day, is it?"
"No..." Lloyd said, as if waiting for the punchline of a joke.
Phil nodded. "Yeah. Um...this is Keely. We figure, that we switched because we both got the same fortune last night, and then we woke up in each others bodies."
"Why didn't you tell us about this before Phil?" Barb asked.
Phil shook his head. "I'm not Phil, remember."
"We didn't think you'd believe us!" Keely said.
Lloyd shook his head. "I don't believe it."
"Dad! In 2121, you got zapped into a kid when you were at a job interview, and you were sick all down your boss's suit. Pim did it with the New-Ager," Keely said.
Barb's eyes widened. "It is Phil! In Keely's body! Oh my gosh!"
"Yeah. Um, so what are we going to do about it?" Keely asked.
Lloyd shook his head, still in shock that his son was in his best friend's, who was a girl, body. "You can't."
"What? You must have some futuristic gadget that changes us back!" Phil cried.
Barb looked sympatheitc. "How did you say you changed again?"
"Well, we both got the same fortune in the cookie, and then that waitress wouldn't leave us alone all night, asking if we felt different," Keely said.
Lloyd nodded. "Yes! That will be it! What did the fortune say?"
Both Keely and Phil went red. "Um...well..."
"It said, Look at the world through the eyes of your...true love," Phil stammered.
Both Barb and Lloyd went silent, trying to restrain from smiling. "Well. You have to let the fortune unfold."
"How?" Phil asked.
Barb shrugged. "If you can't work it out, we can't tell you."
Then the connection was broken.
"What are we going to do now?" Keely said.
Phil shrugged. "What does the fortune mean?"
Then Keely remembered what Owen had said. "Um...Keels. Did Owen say anything to you this morning? About something I had to tell you?"
"Well he said you had something to tell me, but not what you had to say," Phil said. "Speaking of which...can I have a look in your locker? I...left my journal there."
Keely nodded. "I know. I'm really sorry Keely, but I thought it was my Social Studies book. So I read it..."
"I knew it," Phil said, and sat down and put his head in his hands.
Keely sat next to him. "Keels..."
"Which page did you read?" Phil asked.
"Huh?" Keely said.
"Which page did you read?" Phil said again.
Keely looked at the floor. "The one with the song on it...well half of a song. It was really good. And it was about...me."
"Scraps. Out of all the pages..." Phil said.
Keely smiled. "It was like, a wake-up call. Because I realised that I had to tell you what I felt...and really soon."
Phil looked up, a spark of hope in his eyes. "How do you feel Phil?"
Ooh! Cliffhanger!
Sorry to leave you like this, but my mum is telling me to get off!
Update tomorrow!
