" Um ...Aqualad?" Gar quietly entered the bathroom. A tap was running and one stall was occupied. The boy felt he was intruding on the older lad's Personal time .

" Giles?" His voice didn't echo as much. The line of stalls boarded no sound.

Swiftly Gar scanned the area. He'd been itching to transform all day and here now was his chance! Even if Aqualad did see him he wouldn't suspect it was him! Gar slipped into a stall, he took off the rings familiarizing with his natural colour once again. Carefully the rings were placed into his zip pocket.

Ok...I'll start small...er.Housefly! Instantly the boy was flying in his pest form. Now that he was a fly his hearing sense picked up a vibration (A/N ?). Happily the fly buzzed to find out what it was. Completely forgetting about Personal time.

Gar hovered over the occupied stall. It was Aqualad...not relieving himself or throwing up for that manner, but just sitting on the stall floor.

Strange person thought Gar, but obliviously he buzzed down to get a better view. Bad move.

It was really a secret that Aqualad hate flies, and rats but thats a different matter. They were worthless. Just buzz and buzz over and over! So when the Garfly decided to come closer; the water boy decided to keep his privacy.

SWOT! Giles' hand made bad contact. Gar's brain was jumbled, this is when he was most vulnerable to transforming.The only thing that processed in his mind was:

Smell-Sea water-animal-...Fish.

POOF! Instead of meeting the dead body of Mr Fly, Aqualad met the flapping lips of a green Fish. He was gobsmacked. On instinct he dropped the fish into the nearest water sorce...which just so happened to be the toilet.

Gar had been less happy about being smacked by Aqualad,though he'd been devastated when he'd transformed into a fish, the dropped into a STINKIN' TOILET! But hey wouldn't everyone?

Ah no! How am I gonna get out of this one? Gar mentally cursed. Aqualad remained unnerved for some reason even though he just witnessed a fly turn into a fish.

Why a toilet? I could have gotten out of a sink! Aqualad blinked slowly.

It's all his fault The green fish thought.

I know and I'm sorry

You shou- Then Gar realized someone was talking to him.

AHHHH! Voices in my head! The first-or second-sign of madness! Gar saw Giles smile.

No, It's me Suddenly Gar was picked up out of the water. But you already knew that didn't you...Gar? Aqualad's voice mocked the last 3 words. Garfield morphed into his human-green-form. Aqualad held him at arms length, he let the older lad take in his real appearance.

" I...I can explain" He whispered frightened.

" So can I"

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Aqualad slipped out the fire exit with a gloomy Gar. He wanted answers. Whereas Gar wanted to shrivel and die. Without being seen they hid behind a large oak tree. Gar slumped against the bark.

" I...um...y'see" Giles shushed him.

" Let me make it easier. First why is your skin green?" Gar couldn't dodge, this wasn't how he wanted to confess.

" Listen before I answer, can I trust you not to tell the others?" Aqualad nodded. His face was deadly serious.

" Ok...The reason I'm like this is because I was born with a unique diesese" It was painful remembering.

" Luckily they had created a cure but...by that time the diesese had infected my whole body, so when they injected- It wasn't too sucessful."

" What happened?" The older boy asked curiously.

" The cure reacted explosively to my body and DNA, because of the diesese, my skin turned green along with my hair and eyes." The conversation flowed.

" My dad was an African doctor, according to him my original skin cells just died and my body replaced them like this."

" Alright, but the animals?" Aqualad delved further.

" That no one could put into theory, It was probably a side affect, but they discovered it had something to do with the cure's reaction and my DNA." Gar forced a dry laugh. " I caused a lot of troubles when I first saw a Giraffe, even more as I grew up..."

The logic came to Aqualad.

" So any animal you imagine...you can transform into?" Aqualad thought about what Raven had said.

She is always right!

" So before when I hit you, you transformed because you could smell sea water?"

" Yeah" Gar sighed and looked to Giles hopefully.

" Listen Gar I know I owe you and explanation but that can wait until tommorow at swimming." Gar fumbled with the holo-rings, his apperance changed once again.

" However you should tell the others, as soon as you can because they will find out." They slowly walked to the fire exit.

" But what if they freak out! What if they never want to speak to me again? IT'S MY FIRST DAY!"

" Trust me" They entered the bathroom and headed back into the canteen.

" Your not as different as you think."

" Wha?"

" Hey! What took you two so long!" Vic Shouted.

-------------------------------------------------------------

" Well y'know just.." Gar started.

" ...Getting to know each other." Aqualad interuptted. Both boys sat down again.

" Really?" Jinx said. " Did Gar tell you any juicy secrets?" Gar gagged and Vic sweatdropped.

" Come to think of it...there was this one, right Gar?" That was his que. It escaped reason how Aqualad could be so laid back about the situation.

" Yeah" He'd hoped to have avoided the topic but it seemed the residential God was off playing Scrabble with Zeus. Even Ruby the rat scurried quicky towards Gar's plastic cup, kinda annoying.

" Well are you gonna tell us?" Robin asked kindly, but it was obvious behind those shades he wanted an interegation.

" Yeah" Garfield watched Ruby as he said this. The black rat was fiddleing around with his water again, he sighed.

" Um...well I'll start from the beginning." He had all ears.

" I was born in Africa..."

" Cool!"

" Wow Africa!"

" Er yeah...and when I was born there was someth- AA!" As he'd been talking Gar's eyes had followed Ruby, some may say it was to avoid their glances but the thing that Ruby did next was far from any explanation that Gar could have told them.

" No Ruby!"

Gar looked horrified as his drink flew out of the cup...and on to the closest object, which happened to be...the ring on his right hand!

---------

His new friends- the whole canteen for that matter-all stared in the shouts direction. All eyes on Gar as he fled to the bathroom once again and out the fire exit. 2 rings rolled on the silent floor. The secret was out. Everyone had seen Gar, not the funny,new transfer student, but the green skinned changling.

" What happened?" Star puzzled over the sight of a green boy. Clearly that's what everyone thought. Aqualad and Victor stood to go after him when Jinx and Robin placed them back down.

" but...!" Vic pleaded.

" There's no need" Jinx motioned to the empty seat.

" Raven can sort it out" Aqualad sighed.

" She's right" Jinx nodded. " But can she?"

" Hey don't doubt her!" The pink haired girl challenged.

" Ar! I shouldn't have said anything" Vic stressed.

" What do you talk about, friend Vic?" Victor showed them both identical rings on his fingers.

" I mean we should have talked-confessed together." Robin grabbed Gar's rings as the bell rang.

" Then it's official!" Robin patted Vic's back.

" Raven is never wrong!" Star and Jinx said in unison.
