Chapter Two: Gibson and Nova...or is that Nova and Gibson?
That morning...
Gibson opened his eyes and gasped. He sat up and looked around. "What is going on! This is not my room!" he thought. He jumped out of bed and ran to the mirror on the wall. The reflection wasn't of Gibson but of Nova. "What in the name of Shuggazoom is going on?" he asked.
meanwhile...
Nova sat up and yawned. "Wait a second,when did I change my wallpaper to blue?" she sat up and jumped out of bed freaked out. She rushed over to the mirror and screamed her little head off. The mirror reflected Gibson's visage, "What-the...who...Gibson...me...enh-enh-enh" Nova stuttered.
"Nova! Nova!" yelled Sparx as he pounded on Nova's door.
Gibson turned away from the mirror, ran to the door and opened it.
"Hello Sparx," Gibson said.
"Whoa!" Sparx said.
"Oh good! You can see it too!" Gibson said relived that Sparx had noticed things weren't quite right.
"Oh yeah you better believe I can see it!' Sparx said. He walked over to Gibson and said, "Call the president cuz your a weapon of mass seduction!"
"Unh...unh...what?" Gibson asked.
"You heard me gorgeous! Did you do something different cuz you look great today!" Sparx paused as he saw Nova's left eye twitch. "Something wrong?" he asked.
"Unh-unh...I-I..." Gibson stammered.
"Wow, I'm surprised you haven't beaten the pulp out of me Nova, I guess my monkey charm is rubbin' off on you," Sparx said.
"Wait a minute! Otto's brain switcher! It must have actually worked! That means I'm in Nova's body and Nova's in mine!" Gibson thought. Gibson broke out of thought as he realized that he was Sparx's arms. "Oh dear..." he said.
"Oh Nova, I have to tell you something...I know I can be kind of demeaning and well...perverted...but the truth is..." Gibson interrupted him.
"I don't think I'm the person you should be telling this too!" he said.
"What are you talking about Nova? Your the only person I'd say this too.." he said.
"Um...no! Pay attention Sparx, remember Otto's brain switching contraption? It actually does work and..." Gibson started.
"Hey Nova...oh...am I unh...interrupting something?" Chiro asked.
"No!" Gibson said.
"Yes! Yes you are!" snapped Sparx.
"Sparx, why don't you just leave Nova alone, besides your making breakfast remember?" Chiro asked.
"I am?" Sparx asked reminiscing.
Sparx's flashback:
"Alright Sparx! If you lose this game your making us all breakfast tomorrow!" Nova said.
"Alright, bring it!" Sparx said.
"Aright! Ready...Steady...Go!" Otto yelled.
The red and yellow monkey picked up there controllers and began to bat it out through the video game.
"I'm so kicking your butt!" Nova said.
"No way!" Sparx said.
"And now for the finishing blow!" Nova said as she slammed her finger down on the A button. Sparx's character was thrown to the ground and defeated.
"Ah! Man! No way am I making breakfast for all you guys!" Sparx said as he stood up with his arms crossed.
"Oh yes way! I'll see to it that you will!" Nova threatened.
End of Flashback...
"Oh yeah...that's right!" Sparx said glaring at Nova.
"What?" Gibson asked.
Sparx dropped Gibson on the floor and walked out of the room.
"Ow! Why did you drop me like that? How discourteous," Gibson said as he stood up and brushed off Nova's yellow fur.
"What?" Chiro asked confused.
"Oh never mind, Listen Chiro do you know where Otto is I must converse with him immediately," Gibson said.
Chiro started as Nova with a perplexed look, "You feeling ok today Nova?" he asked.
"I most certainly am! Now if you will excuse me," Gibson said as he left the room.
"Wow, Nova must not have gotten enough sleep last night or something..." Chiro said with a shrug as he made his way to the kitchen.
Nova rushed into the kitchen to see Sparx in the middle of making breakfast.
"Sparx! Sparx!" she yelled waving her arms in the air to get his attention.
"What do you want Gibson?" Sparx asked irritated.
"No! No! You don't understand! I'm not Gibson...I'm..." Nova started.
"Oh please Gibson," Sparx said as he placed the plates on the table.
"No! Really! It's me..." Nova was cut-off again.
"Hey Good morning Gibson," Chiro said.
"Morning..." Nova said. "Wait! Chiro I have to tell..."
"So Sparx's what's for breakfast?" Chiro said not paying any attention to Nova's ranting inside Gibson's body.
"Oh forget it!" she said as he turned and left. "I'll have to go find Gibson...enh...me...unh...oh whatever..." she thought. Nova first checked in Gibson's lab and not finding him there went straight to Otto's shop.
"So your saying your Gibson and that my brain switcher really worked?" Otto asked giving Gibson a bewildered stare.
"Yes! Yes! That is correct!" Gibson said.
Otto burst into laughter, "Oh your funny Nova!" he said.
Gibson frowned," It's not a joke Otto!" Gibson pressed.
"Stop pullin' my leg Nova!" Otto said. "I just checked my brain switcher, it doesn't work any better then it did last night!"
"But that's unfeasible!" Gibson said.
"Huh?" Otto asked confused.
"I said that's impracticable!" Gibson said.
"What?" Otto asked again.
Gibson growled," Unachievable! Impractical! Impossible?" he yelled.
"Oh impossible, why didn't you just say that in the first place Nova?" Otto asked.
"I did!" Gibson hissed.
"Otto!" Nova yelled. "Ah ha! Gibson!" she said.
"Yeah, I know it's you Gibson," Otto said as Nova walked up the two.
"No I wasn't talking to you! I was talking to Gibson!" she said.
"That's Nova, your Gibson," Otto said.
"You didn't tell him?" Nova asked irritated.
"Of course I did! You think this dunce would actually believe me?" Gibson asked.
"Hey! I'm not a dunce!" Otto said. "Whatever that is..."
"Unh...Otto! It's me Nova! Your brain switcher switched me and Gibson! He's in my body and I'm in his!" Nova told the green monkey.
"That's ridiculous! The brain switcher doesn't work! I just told Nova that Gibson," Otto said.
"I am not Nova!" Gibson spat.
"And I'm not Gibson!" Nova said.
Otto stared at them expressionless. "You guys are giving me a headache, I'm gonna go get a glass of water..." Otto said as he left the two switched monkeys alone in his shop.
Nova sighed, "This is just great! Otto doesn't believe us! Now I'm gonna be stuck in your body forever!" she said.
"Oh poor unfortunate you! I'm going to be stuck in your body forever," Gibson said.
'What are you saying?" Nova asked.
"Nothing, I'm not saying anything," Gibson said.
"Yeah you better be sayin' nothing otherwise I'd clobber you with your own two hands!" Nova threatened.
"As would I," Gibson replied bitterly. The two glared at each other, fists clenched.
"Perhaps, we should refrain from violence and try to figure out how to fix this," Gibson suggested.
"Ok, so how are we going to fix this?" Nova asked.
Gibson walked over to Otto's desk and picked up the Brain Switcher.
"Otto insists that this little device of his doesn't work, possibly if I examine it and do a little testing I can convince him, then he can switch us back," Gibson said.
"Ok, I'll go with that. So what am I supposed to do in the meantime?" Nova asked.
"Just mingle and try to act more like me, your deteriorating my image," Gibson said.
"Oh I'm sorry Gibson! I promise not to "deteriorate" your image any more," Nova said sarcastically.
'Well good," Gibson said as he and Nova made there way out of Otto's shop.
