Sup? I seriously love this book. I loved writing it. This is my favorite book so far, and still is, even though it's cringy. Enjoy!
Alice's P.O.V
I woke up refreshed at my usual time at dawn. I got off the hammock to do sunrise exercises. I did that for about a half an hour when Chris walked in.
"I didn't expect you up so early," he said.
"I'm used to it. My family and I get up at dawn everyday for training. If we're not up, Sensei bangs on a gong until we get up," I shrugged.
"Well, that's got to be annoying."
"Very. My brother and Jay fall off their beds every morning hearing it, and they're both in bunk-beds."
Everyone woke up in the next half hour and Jimmy was about to cook breakfast.
"I making breakfast today. You guys were so nice and I want to thank you," I stopped him.
"I'm not so sure about that, Alice," Jimmy said.
"Don't worry. My cooking is awesome. I get complimented by the guys that I'm as good as Zane, and he's the best cook on the ship," I said.
"All right. I'm in. Knock yourself out," Jimmy said.
He showed me to the kitchen so I could make them breakfast. I began to get ingredients for pancakes. I began to make breakfast.
"You weren't kidding when you said you were awesome," Martin said after he bit into the pancakes I made.
"Thanks, and told ya," I smiled.
The screen began beeping. That means a Wild Kratt kid is calling.
"I got it," I said standing up and going toward the screen.
"Hit the button with the green phone to answer," Aviva instructed.
I obeyed and pushed the button with a green phone on it.
A boy about Autumn's age came into view on screen. He had short blonde hair, brighter than Martin's, blue eyes, and was wearing a gray shirt under a darker gray jacket. In the background I saw a lake.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Autumn, you guys need to get over here. Something weird is going on," he said.
"Tell me about it," I grumbled, "Actually, I'm not...nevermind. It's way too confusing."
"Hey, Gavin. What's up?" Martin greeted walking up next to me.
"Something weird is going on at frog-water pond," Gavin repeated.
"Weird?" Martin wondered.
"Look," Gavin said.
He turned the device where you could see the whole pond. Next to the pond was what looked like a pirate ship.
"No way," I said staring intently at the ship. It can't be...could it? How did they get here?
"We'll be there in a jiff," Martin said hanging up. He turned to me, but I was still staring at the screen, dumbfounded to what I just saw.
"You okay, Ally?" he asked.
"H-How did they get here?"
"That's what we need to find out."
"Wait, hold on. Let me try something," I said having an idea.
I dialed the number to the Bounty and pressed 'call'. It was ringing. Now, all I had to do was wait for an answer.
Autumn's P.O.V
"No way!" I exclaimed for the second time today. I was in the bridge with everyone else as we all looked at who was calling the Bounty. The Tortuga, my home.
This morning we found ourselves in my dimension and landed next to frog-water pond. I don't know how we got here, but I'm glad we're here anyway. Nya pressed the answer button.
The screen then showed Alice in my body. It was like a reflection. She smiled once she saw us, but also looked surprised in her eyes, and we smiled too.
"Hey, Sis. How you doing over there?" Kai asked.
"Good. Autumn, your family is really nice," Alice complimented.
"Thanks. Your's is too," I replied, and then I grumbled, "Once you get past the fact that they thought I had amnesia."
My family came into view.
"Elsa!" Uncle Martin exclaimed.
"Nice to see you too, Uncle Martin," I smiled.
"What are you guys doing here? We just got a call saying something weird was going on over there," Alice asked.
"Tell me about it."
"I know, right?"
"Am I the only one thinking that it's weird that they're complete opposites and they're friends just like that?" Jay asked.
"Kai and Zane are complete opposites, and look how they turned out," Alice said.
"Touche."
"We're going to be there in a few minutes. Stay where you are," Dad said.
"Really, Dad? Where are we going to go?" I asked smiling.
"I know that you two have switched bodies and that I should be used to this, but that just weirded me out a tiny bit," Dad said.
"Hey, have you guys seen yourselves lately?" Alice asked.
"Yeah. The appearences gave us quite the scare," Cole answered.
"It was funny seeing their reactions though," I giggled.
"All right. See you guys in a few," Alice said.
Then she hung up the phone call.
About five minutes later, we were all on the deck as we saw a giant turquoise flying turtle ship flying overhead and to the other side. It landed on the other side of the pond.
I smiled.
"Is that the Tortuga?" Nya asked.
"Yep. That's my home," I answered.
"It's amazing."
"Thanks. My mom made it and everything else in the ship. It really is," I said.
My family and Alice walked out. As soon as she stepped off the ramp, she began running to the ship. I would to, but I'm not going to hurt myself right now.
As soon as Alice came in front of us, everyone ran up and hugged her. My family came up a few minutes after, and they were still hugging. I ran up and hugged my family.
"I missed you," I whispered through the hug.
"Does anyone know how to put us back in our right bodies?" Alice asked. Hey! She had her long hug, now I want mine.
"Maybe we should find the cause of this mess before figuring out how to put us back," I replied after a minute.
"Do you remember what you were doing before this?" I asked.
"Let's see...," Alice thought. "I was playing Fist-to-Face 2 with Lloyd, and Cole came in with the mail. There was a package for me, which was confusing because I never get mail anymore. I opened it to find a small white sphere the size of my hand. A buzzing sound came from it, followed by a white light that got brighter and brighter until it got blinding. Then I blacked out," she explained.
"Other than the buzzing, that's what happened to me too. I was in the garage, looking for parts, until I found this small box with my name on it. I opened it, pulled out the sphere, and the light appeared. It got blinding and I passed out," I explained.
"Okay, so we know the cause. Now, we need to find the solution," Mom said.
"Really? I thought that we only found something in common," Alice thought. I had to resist facepalming.
"We can talk more in the bridge. Come on," Nya said.
We followed them inside. I heard something with my super hearing, so I turned around and searched for anything out of the ordinary. When I didn't find anything, I turned around to find everyone else already inside.
I ran for the door, but I felt metallic claws on my mouth. I know them from one place. Zach!
Before I could beat his ass, I was lifted up. I was then injected something, and passed out a few seconds later.
Alice's P.O.V
I followed my family into the bridge. I missed my home so much. I'm so glad to be back.
We finally got to the bridge and filed in around the big rectangular table.
"Well, we know the cause of this, the white spheres. Alice, do you know if you still have the box it was delivered in?" Chris asked changing the subject.
"I wouldn't know because I was passed out and traveling dimensions. Do you guys?" I asked turning to my family.
They all shook their heads, except Zane.
"It was thrown away," he answered.
"Do you remember who sent it to you?" Aviva asked.
"It was a weird name, that's for sure. I think his name was...Zach? Yeah, that's it! Zach Varmitech," I answered.
"So Zach's behind this," Martin said angry.
"He's going to pay," Chris seethed.
I looked around, and realized that something, or rather someone was missing.
"Um...has anyone seen Autumn?" I inquired.
Everyone looked around, thethen shook their heads. Ah, crud.
The screen beeped again. Another call, but from who? It doesn't say.
Cole walked up and pressed the 'answer' button. A man appeared on screen.
He had a triangle shaped head with black hair on his head and under his mouth, emerald green eyes, and was wearing a black turtle neck. He looked pale, so pale he reminded me of Cole covered in flour when we were in the tournament of elements. I would've laughed if it was a different situation.
The Wild Kratt crew all glared at him.
"Zach," Martin seethed.
"Hello, blue boy, green guy. I have someone who wants to see you," he said.
He moved away from the screen. I saw someone strapped to a table. It was flat, but I saw who was there. It was Autumn! It looked like she was unconscious. How? When?
"Autumn!" Chris, Martin, Aviva, Koki, Jimmy, Lloyd, and I cried.
I looked at Lloyd with a raised eyebrow. He shrugged his shoulders. I'm pretty sure that Lloyd has a crush on her. That would be so cute if we weren't in opposite bodies.
I heard a groan come from Autumn. She opened her eyes, only to widen them and try to break her bonds.
"Hey! What the-?" she started.
"Zach," she growled when she noticed Zach.
"Why hello," Zach greeted.
"So it was you behind this. I should've known," she said still growling. Now it seems unnatural.
"I'm proposing a trade," he said coming back on the screen.
"I don't think so. I'm thinking of beating your head in," Autumn growled.
Her eyes went red, blood red.
"Does that usually happen?" I whispered to Chris.
"That's what happens when she's triggered, but I didn't think she could still do that," he answered.
Autumn still tried to break the straps around her arms and legs. They didn't budge.
"She can't get out of that," Zach smiled. Man, I hate him right now.
"What's your proposition, Zach?" Chris asked. He's not seriously doing what he says, right?
"Autumn. For Alice. You have 24 hours to decide," Zach said and hung up.
"So, what now?" Jimmy asked.
I walked to the door. I plan on getting my new friend back, no matter what.
"Alice," Kai said. Oh, shit.
"What?" I asked innocently, turning around.
"You're not seriously thinking what I think you're thinking, right?" he wondered with a raised eyebrow.
"Exactly."
"Do you have any kind of plan once you do that?"
"Bro, seriously. I'm a ninja. Break her out, and get her out. Ninja style," I said. I didn't really have a plan at the moment, but that was obviously part of it though.
"No way. Those Zachbots can detect you from a mile away," Aviva said.
"Really? They looked pretty stupid to me. More than Jay."
"Hey!" Jay said.
"If you're going, you're not going alone. We're coming with you. We know Zach's plane and his tricks," Chris said as he and Martin walked over.
"Fine," I sighed.
"Here. Take this. Call if you need backup," Nya said.
She gave me a communicator that looked like theirs, but it was orange. I slipped it on my wrist like a bracelet.
"Alright. Let's do this," I said with determination in my voice.
"To the family rescue!" Martin and Chris exclaimed. They ran out the door.
"Do they usually do that?" I asked.
Aviva, Koki, and Jimmy nodded. I walked out the door, following the guys.
Done. Favorite chapter ever!
Elsa: You made me get kidnapped by Zach. What's wrong with you?
Alice: I know, right?
Turtle: Everything, Elsa. Everything is wrong with me.
Elsa: I hate you.
Alice: Join the club. We've got jackets.
Great. I'm hated by both of my OCs. The ninja's appearances are human, but Cole and Zane are the same, human-wise. What's Alice's plan? Will her plan work? Will Autumn be saved? Will they figure out how to go back to normal? Tune in next time. Review?
