Chapter Four: Find Your Happy Place
"Nova why are you freakin' out?" Sparx asked.
"Freaking out? I'm not freaking out I'm just-just-just..." Gibson stammered as he backed away slowly towards the door.
"Yeah you are," Sparx said.
"Um...I gotta go!" Gibson said as he ran out of the lab and down the hall as fast as Nova's legs would take him.
Sparx sighed, "Man what did I do wrong? Was it the fan?" Sparx wondered aloud.
"Ah! Gibson stop!" Chiro yelled as he ran around the super robot being pelted by dozens of dodge balls being thrown like bullets from Nova.
"Mwahahahahahahahha! This is the funniest I've had in a long time! Thank you Gibson!" Nova yelled as she grabbed a dodge ball and thrusted at Chiro's head knocking him to the ground.
"Gibson!" Chiro yelled angrily.
"Gibson! Chiro! What are you doing!" Antauri asked shocked.
"Playin' dodge ball remember?" Nova asked a she dropped her arm full of balls and walked up to Antauri.
"Yes I see that..." Antauri said.
"Gees Gibson you could have thrown the balls a little less hard! And were you just ignoring my screams of pain!" Chiro asked angrily.
"Those are some mighty big bruises there Chiro, you gotta work on your dodging, it's only the most important part of the game, otherwise it's no fun for the person throwing the dodge balls," Nova said.
"Gibson you have gone mentally insane!" Chiro said as he rubbed his head and walked off.
"So Nova, did you enjoy assaulting your leader with dodge balls, did it fulfill your sick-sick desires?" Antauri asked.
"Huh? How'd you know I was Nova? Did Gibson tell you?" Nova asked.
"No, but I'm sure Gibson will appreciate how you've portraying him," Antauri said.
"Wait! Alright, I'm sorry! I was just messing around...look have you seen him around? Cuz he was supposed to be working on a way to convince Otto that we switched," Nova said.
"Hmm...actually I haven't you might want to ask Sparx..."Antauri paused. "Uh-oh."
"What?" Nova asked.
Gibson was in the corner of his room curled in a little ball rocking back in forth, "Happy Place, Happy Place," he repeated over in over again in a shaky voice.
"There he is!" Antauri said as he saw the ball of yellow rocking back in forth.
"Gibson what happened?" Nova asked.
"Sparx...The Fan...the pick up lines..." he said stuttered.
"Calm Down Gibson, tell us what happened..." Antauri said.
"Sparx...he-he kissed me..." Gibson said as he continued to rock back in forth.
"Eh, Sparx kissed me? And you let him?" Nova asked.
"I'm afraid I might have had something to do with this," Antauri said.
"Why?" Nova asked.
"Oh never mind...we have to get you two to Otto and find his brain switcher so he can switch you two back," Antauri said as he grabbed Nova's arm and pulled Nova's body up.
"I think I'm permanently traumatized," Gibson said Nova's left eye twitching.
"Stop twitching! Your gonna mess up my eye!" Nova said.
"Don't tell me what to do Nova!" Gibson snapped.
"I'll tell you what to do all I want as long as your in my body!" Nova yelled.
"Then I should have the same privilege!" Gibson snapped.
"Please both of you, enough," Antauri said.
They rounded the corner and passed Gibson's lab.
'Wait! Go back! Otto's brain switcher is in my lab!" Gibson said.
The three walked back to the lab and entered it to see Sparx sitting on the floor playing with the paper fan. He lifted his head and smiled.
"Nova! You came back!" he said standing up.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Gibson yelled as he turned to leave.
"Oh no you don't!" Nova said as she grabbed her yellow monkey tail and pulled Gibson back into the lab.
"Go on, get the brain switcher," Antauri told Gibson.
Gibson reluctantly walked in, passed Sparx and grabbed the brain switcher.
"What's going on? Why do you have the brain switcher in your lab Gibson? Did you steal it from Otto? Are you trying to sabotage his machine?" Sparx asked.
"No you idiot! I'm not Gibson!" Nova said.
'What are you talking about you walking calculator?" Sparx asked.
"It's true Sparx, and I'm not a walking calculator," Gibson said as he walked up to him.
Sparx looked over at Nova, then a Gibson, then at Nova, and then a Gibson and then at Nova.
"Enh-Enh..." he stammered as he turned white.
"Yes, well it wasn't enjoyable for me either," Gibson said.
"EW! You mean I kissed HIM?" Sparx asked pointing to the blue monkey.
"No, you kissed Gibson, I'm Nova," Nova said.
"Ah, that's so wrong on so many levels," Sparx said.
"Well now that we have that all settled shall we visit Otto now?" Antauri asked.
The four monkeys entered Otto's shop to find him playing with Tara and Jasmine.
to be continued...
