Jade/Jack
When we reached Marco's supposed house, Jake and I both looked worriedly at one another.
"What do we say?"
"I don't know! You're his best friend! Or… hers…"
He glared at me "Have you looked in the mirror lately? You're not exactly yourself anymore either"
Well, that ruined my good mood.
Until I heard some kind of music blasting loud and clear from inside the house.
Which just got me started again.
"Is… is that Delta Goodrem?" I asked between giggles.
"I DON'T KNOW IM NOT-" He shut himself up, sighing and going to knock on the door. I followed, Phoebe close behind. She'd wanted to walk herself, so I let her.
Marco's dad answered, smiling.
"Well hello there Jane! Come on in!" he opened the door to let us in, and when we were in he shut the door behind us.
"Maria's in her room! Just go on up" he gave me a funny look, then turned his gaze on Phoebe.
"Um… my little sister. Watching her for today" I explained, picking her up and quickly going upstairs behind Jake.
"Maria? Oh boy" I muttered to him as he finally reached his bedroom door.
"Hey, Mar-Maria! You in there!" Jake called, knocking on the door.
"Come on in! Man, this is pretty cool" We heard a silky voice call. Jake and I shared a look, then he opened the bedroom door. When we didn't see Marco at first glance, we both went in, shutting the door behind us.
"Marco? Come on man, where are you?"
"Right here" he… or she… appeared from one of those Chinese kind of screens, and…
We both gaped.
"MAAARRCOOOO!" Jake groaned, slapping his forehead and turning away.
Marco's female form was absolutely beautiful. He had underwear and a bra on of course, but… she… he… was so shapely, and her hair fell halfway down her back.
I mean… he. Hard to tell.
"What Jake? Don't like what you see?"
"That's the problem" he flopped face first on the bed, and made a shocked groan and jumped off it like it was made of snakes. I watched as he decided to stay near the door instead, not looking at Marco at all.
"You boys…" I sighed, shaking my head. Marco just laughed, hands on his hips.
"Look at this body… and what's more…" he grinned, then blared the music, dancing around, then began to sing.
You got it. Sing.
"The girl I used to be… has a terrible case, of mistaken identiittyyyyyy!" He pitched his… her… voice, and the shocking thing was, it actually sounded… good.
"The sun likes to rise, and the moon likes to fall, and that's kinda like my liiiife"
"MARCO STOP IT!" Jake yelled, covering his ears. Marco just laughed.
"What a baby" then I saw him doing something I probably suspected he did the first time he woke up.
He poked his boobs.
"Marco!" I hissed "Please! There's a child in this room!"
I turned Phoebe's head away, glaring at him. I guess he finally looked at me.
"Jade? Is that you?"
"Jack here" I muttered, rolling my eyes. Phoebe giggled, digging her head into my shoulder.
"Well, if you insist…" he went back behind the screen, and I saw him putting on some clothes. I sighed, putting Phoebe down, who ran over and attached herself to Jake, who didn't seem to mind the interruption.
He came out a few minutes later, wearing a short black skirt, and a purple top with an extremely low V neck, and a thick fancy belt. He also wore some fancy kind of black boots too.
"Wow… is there something you forgot to tell us about yourself Marco?" I raised an eyebrow, crossing my arms. He shrugged.
"Dunno. Anything you want to ask?"
I just covered my face with my hands, realising again how unnatural this body felt.
"Can… can we just get going? I mean… really? I want to know what-"
A shrill beeping made us all jump about a mile in the air. I soon realised it was coming from the watch on my arm. I looked at Jake, who just seemed relieved that's all it was, then at Marco who urged me to answer it.
I looked down, pressing the few buttons I remembered pressing.
"Helloooo? Jaaade? Are you there?" A male voice came through. I looked at the boys/girls again, then decided to say something.
"Uh… this is Jade. Who's this?"
"OH THANK GOD! It's Amanda!"
"Amanda? Well… I'm glad we're not the only ones going through this"
"Only… look, we're gonna meet you at the woods in… what, Ithiell?"
"Thirty minutes" came a very smooth feminine voice.
"Thirty minutes. That okay with you?"
"I'll be there"
"And the others?"
"I… I think I'll let Jake and Marco wrangle them up for us"
We said goodbye, and I turned to them, picking up Phoebe then headed to the door.
"Meet at the barn?"
Jake gave me a weird look, then nodded.
"Great. See you there"
I headed out, close to killing someone.

After dropping Phoebe off back at home with mum, I went to the meadow where we usually met. That meadow was Tobias's. I didn't see him, so I just leaned against a tree, searching the skies every now and then, slowly getting bored.
"Come on guys! Where are you?" I muttered, looking at the tree where Tobias usually sat. I wondered where he was…
The wind picked up suddenly, making me look up, seeing a shimmer above. They dropped their cloak as they landed, and I heard the ship powering down. Soon, the hatch opened, and out stepped…
Well, a blond guy. Good-looking too.
"Amanda?" I wondered as the guy turned his head to me. Relief flooded his face… and I knew it was her.
"Jade. Oh I am so glad you're here… LOOK AT MEE!"
"LOOK AT YOU! LOOK AT MEE!" I cried back, half-heartedly joking.
"I wake up this morning and I'm… I'm…" she gasped coming to stand in front of me, grabbing my shoulders. I nodded.
"Me too"
"OKAY! ENOUGH WHINGING AMANDA! I'VE FUCKIN HAD IT!" I heard a girl screech angrily, and out of the fighter walked…
Well, it could only be one person. Robert.
Dark curls, icy blue eyes… yep, it was him all right. Only… as a her. It was comical to see.
I giggled, then saw a very delicate looking Chanaiben walk out, and gasped.
"Uh… Ithiell?"
He nodded, not looking to happy either. Then out came Rtaia…
"Well, aren't we just a wonderful bunch?" I asked cheerfully, and all but one person glared at me.
"Look, let's just get to the barn" Ithiell muttered, starting to walk along. Him and Rtaia shifted to human forms, and slowly I started to follow them. Amanda walked beside me, leaning close like it was all a big secret.
"They called me Aaron! Can you believe it!"
"Well I was called Jack. I can believe it"
"But… no-one… I went to Roberts and they said that all they had was a daughter!"
"Hence Robert" I said simply, trodding along. One way or another… we were going to get there.
"You want to know what his name was? Or… is?"
"My name si Rhiannon! Get over it" he muttered ahead of us, walking along. I grinned…
"Such a pretty name for such a pretty girl"
He turned, looking like he could kill with his eyes "Hey! You wanna start something Jack! Be my guest! I'LL KICK YOUR SCRAWNY ASS ANY DAY OF THE MONTH!"
"Bring it on" I muttered. He screamed, charging…
Seconds later Rtaia had him. He screamed, kicking and carrying on, but… Rtaia just plodded along, like nothing was wrong.
"Rtoil, I believe, is a horrid name for myself as a male"
"It means the same thing doesn't it!" Ithiell snapped, not even looking at any of us.
"True" she muttered "But…"
"LEMME GOOO! I WANNA KILL HER!"
I made a kissy face at him, then jogging ahead, laughing as he swore blue murder at me.
