Jack/Jade

"Well, let's look at our options" Ithiell began after a hefty silence.

Immediately, the three aliens of the… groups… started going like a wildfire on the loose. Then everyone else kinda jumped in.

Strangely enough, myself and Piper/Pilot stayed silent. I went to go over to her/him, and caught the dog giving me funny looks.

"Don't look at me like that! I could become a tiger and kick your-" then it hit me "Hey! Guys!"

"What?" Jake asked, looking at me.

"Think we can still morph or shift?"

I could almost see them wanting to slap their foreheads.

"Wait, let me" I muttered, focusing on my favourite form. Slowly, the changes began to happen.

"We'll, that's a good sign" Amanda muttered. I quickly shifted back, seeing the dog still looking at me. I grinned.

"See?"

It suddenly bolted towards me, and I screeched. Its paws slammed into my chest, knocking me to the ground.

I waited, and suddenly my face was wet…

"oh EEEEEEEW! ALMOST AS BAD AS MUMS!"

Now it was Piper that was laughing.

I finally got the dog off me, turning to the group. I could hear her/him still giggling.

"Right, my turn" Rachel started to morph before we could stop her. Then she morphed back, smiling.

"You know what I reckon?" Robert suddenly spoke up "I reckon Crayak, that's what I reckon"

"Good to know you 'reckon' something" I grinned. For some reason this was all just putting me into hysterics. Well… almost. I wasn't going to be charged by the hound of hell again.

"That's it!" Robert lunged, and I easily dodged, tripping him over. He did a wonderful faceplant…

"Have a nice trip? See you next fall!"

"Jade, cut it out" Ithiell snapped, then looked at Jake.

"Look, the three of us will work on it. Everyone else can just… go home or something"

"What about us!" Amanda cried.

"Stay with Jade for a bit"

"Come on Amanda, we can get something to eat… okay?" I said gently, calming myself down and seeing this was seriously stressing her. I took her arm in mine, leading her out the barn door.

"I'm coming too! Damn female body" seconds later Robert caught up to us, giving me an extra icy glare. I just shrugged, turning my head back and yelling "Anyone else who wants to join us is welcome to!"

"Hell yeah!" Marco sang playfully.

Piper/Pilot

I sat for a minute, then heard Cassie say "Here Pie, you can help me out since you're just sitting there" I looked at the shovel she offered me, looked out the barn door where Marco, Rhiannon, Jack and Aaron had disappeared just seconds earlier.

"No thanks" I bounded out the door and shouted "WAAAIT FOOOOOR MEEEEE!"

I caught up to the four and Marco turned and said "Ah, not your mutt too" Charlie knocked him over by running through his legs.

We laughed and I kneeled down and stuck my hand out and said "High five pal" It was a trick I'd taught him a while ago, he sat and put one of his paws in mine, then let it drop back to the ground.

"And Charlie is not a mutt… we actually know what he is Marco… you on the other hand…"

"Oh shut up" I helped him up and we continued on our way to the mall.

"Why do I have the sudden urge for something sweet?" I asked as we walked into the mall, Charlie had plopped down outside by some trees.

"Welcome to the female body" Jack said, laughing. I looked around the food court, I was hungry, I wanted food. NEEDED food.

"I hate being half Italian" I muttered, starting my hunt.
