Hello. I love this story so, so much and I hope you guys have too. Since they switched back to normal, this won't be as confusing anymore. Enjoy!
Autumn's P.O.V
I gotta admit it was kinda fun being someone else for a bit. If Zach didn't switch us, I wouldn't have made such cool friends. I'm sure Alice thinks the same.
We were all in the game room, sitting around and playing some games.
Well, Kai, Jay, Lloyd, and Uncle Jimmy was.
The rest of us were relaxing. Alice and I still haven't told them we switched yet, and I don't know why. I said we would, but it hasn't happened yet. It is kinda fun though that they still think that. I don't know why Dad and Uncle Martin haven't told them about the deadline. I think the only person who might know we're switched back...is Zane. He's a nindroid. Plus, he figured out I wasn't Alice when this mess started.
"So how do we get these two back? I kinda want my girlfriend back," Cole said. You have your girlfriend back.
"Not to mention going back home," I said. I am home, but I'm just saying stuff.
"Maybe I could use your powers to do both. You did say that your powers could do just about anything," Alice suggested.
"Maybe. But they do have a limit," I said. I don't really know if they have a limit. I'm just guessing at this point.
"Why don't we try it? We're going on deck," she announced.
"Be careful," Cole, Lloyd, Dad, and Mom said.
"We will," Alice and I said. We both looked at each other.
"JINX!" I yelled.
"Aw, man," Alice groaned.
"Too slow," I smiled. We walked out of the room and on deck like we said we would.
"I feel guilty about doing this to Cole," Alice said.
"I feel guilty about this period. I still can't believe I did it," I said.
"Any idea why Chris and Martin haven't told the others about the deadline thing yet?" Alice asked. I shook my head and looked to the Tortuga on the other side of the pond.
"Come with me," I instructed Alice.
Before she could respond, I jumped down and ran to the Tortuga.
Once I was inside, I went to my room and grabbed the two boxes under my hammock.
"Elsa? Elsa, where are you?" Alice called.
"In here," I answered picking up the boxes and standing up. Alice walked in.
"What are we doing here? They're going to freak out when they can't find us on deck. Trust me," Alice asked confusion in her voice as well as curiosity to the boxes in my hands.
I handed her the boxes. She just looked at me confused with a raised eyebrow.
"What are these?" she asked.
"Boxes," I answered. She rolled her eyes.
"What's in the boxes?" she asked, clearer this time.
"Open it and find out," I smiled. She took out one hand from under the boxes and flipped open the lid to the top box.
She looked up at me with wide eyes, she was not expecting this.
"Your powersuit?" she asked.
"Yeah. I wanted you to have something to remember us and this adventure by," I explained.
"But, the guys said that it helps you be with the animal. If you don't have your powersuit, then you can't turn into the animal and have its abilities," she argued.
"I don't need it. I have my own abilities. The next box is what makes this powersuit so awesome," I said signaling to the other box.
She flipped the lid shut on the powersuit and gave it to me while she looked in the second box. She flipped the lid and looked at the assortment of bags filled with fur, teeth, claws, just about anything from an animal. My disc set was also in there. Mom kept making three discs for us. Even though I don't use the powersuit, I keep it as a souvenir of the animal we encountered, same with the bags.
"What are these?" Alice asked holding up a bag filled with wolf fur.
"That is makes what makes the powersuit work. These bags are from all kinds of creatures we encountered. Place the disc in the slot, touch the right animal DNA, press the activation button, and voila. You are the animal," I explained.
"But-."
"I told you. I don't need it. I can turn into animals on my own."
"Now that's cool."
"Okay. Come on, let's get back before they realize we're missing," I said handing her the first box.
We hurried out the door and onto the Bounty. Before we went back to the game room though, we went to Alice's room to put the boxes away.
Right before we put them away though, I took the box with the powersuit and took it out.
"You should put this on before you put it away," I said.
"Why?" Alice asked raising an eyebrow.
"I want to see how it looks on you. Plus, I modified it so when someone puts it on, it will grow or srink to their size," I explained.
"All right," Alice gave in.
She took the suit and put it on. The suit changed from hot pink to orange in color, and it grew. She also put the gloves on, and they also changed in size and color.
"It looks good on you," I complimented.
She went to the bathroom and looked at herself in the full-length mirror.
"This is really cool."
"It'll be even cooler once you turn into an animal. I labeled all the bags in the box, and all the discs there are, there's a bag for."
"Thanks," she smiled.
"You're welcome," I smiled back.
We hugged. We let go after a minute and Alice took off the powersuit, put it in the box, and put it away.
We walked back to the game room.
"So, are you going to use that powersuit?" I asked.
"Yeah. Are you going to come and visit?" she asked.
"After I finish my invention. I started it a month and a half ago, and I'm not even halfway," I answered.
"Why don't you let Jay, Nya, or your mom help you?" she asked.
"Because it's my first invention. Plus, I want it to be a surprise to my family when I'm done and tested it," I explained.
We walked into the game room and sat down again, but this time, in opposite spots.
"That's more like it," Cole said nuzzling Alice. My Mom covered my eyes from seeing anything.
"Oh, come on," I groaned.
"We're glad you're back, Ally," Jay said.
"You too, Elsa," Uncle Martin added.
The screen beeped on the T.V, signaling a winner. Uncle Jimmy jumped up and did a victory dance.
"How!?" Lloyd asked.
"What game was it?" I smirked.
"The game you both beat him in," Cole answered.
"Told you, Lloyd," I said.
"You beat him in that game too?" Alice asked.
"Yeah. Uncle Jimmy and I play fighting games a lot," I explained.
"Maybe we should have a round between you, me, and Jimmy, to see who is truly the best gamer," Alice smirked.
"Alice, you're not a gamer," Cole said.
"I meant for this game."
"Oh, you're so on," I smiled.
"I'm in!" Uncle Jimmy exclaimed.
Alice and I jumped up and grabbed the controllers from Kai and Jay.
Alice chose Cole, which really doesn't surprise me, Uncle Jimmy chose Zane, which bummed me out. So I was stuck with Kai, Jay, or Lloyd.
Kai can burn people and warm himself up from the cold environments. Jay can electrocute people and pull lightning from the sky, which is awesome. Lloyd, I remember what he said about his power, he can also control the other elements. So, I chose Lloyd.
"Let the game begin," I smiled as the game started.
Alice's P.O.V
After our heated battle, the others went up to the bridge to figure out how to get home again. Elsa and I went up to the deck to get some fresh air, and maybe I needed some practice.
"Do you think they're going to realize what you suggested earlier?" Elsa asked.
"I don't know. I hope so. Hey, you want to do some sparring?" I answered.
"Sure. Why not?" she answered. We stood a few feet away from each other and took a fighting stance.
"Your form is wrong. I can easily take you down like that. Try this," I said.
I walked up to her and fixed her form, mostly her footing, but otherwise it wasn't that bad. I got back into my position and stance, and we begun.
We exchanged punches and kicks for awhile. We haven't gotten a hit on each other yet. Man, she's good.
"You know, you're really good. Do you train?" I complimented.
"No. I watch a lot of fighting and action movies, so I got them from there," she answered.
Wow, she really is good. She's had no training, but manages to learn how to fight from movies. She is just a one of a kind girl.
We went like this for another hour before we finally stopped. Only a few hits were made on each other, but that's good. That means that she knows how to defend herself.
We went back inside and took showers. After our showers a half hour later, and Elsa going home for a shower, we found everyone in the dining room. Everyone went silent as we walked in.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing," Cole said looking away. I saw him blush. I'm pretty sure they saw us training. I even saw Lloyd blush from where he was sitting. He so has a crush on her.
"Whatever, Cole. Who's night is it?" I asked again.
"Yours," the ninja all answered happily. They seriously love my cooking.
"I'm not complaining," I shrugged smiling heading to the kitchen.
I gathered the ingredients for chicken and rice. Elsa walked in after a minute. I was stirring the rice.
"Why were they happy you were cooking? And what was with nights to cook?" she asked.
"My family loves my cooking. And every night someone else cooks a meal. Whether it'd be Cole, Zane, Lloyd, Kai, Jay, Nya, or me," I answered.
"I vote for Zane."
"So, you've had Zane's cooking. Your family had mine. My family says that I'm just as good as Zane."
"Wow."
"You're going to love it. Now, shoo," I said. Elsa giggled before finally leaving the room.
Autumn's P.O.V
I walked back into the dining room and next in the last empty spot at the table, which was next to Lloyd. They made enough room for all of us, but not enough for Alice.
"Alice kick you out?" Lloyd asked.
"Yeah," I answered.
"Don't worry about it," he said.
He put his arm over my shoulders, which made me blush a light pink. I don't think anyone noticed though.
"You guys do realize what we suggested in the game room earlier, right?" I asked.
"Wasn't it something about powers?" Jay asked. I facepalmed.
"What if Alice's powers can get you guys home? She can make a portal and send you all back in your dimension," I explained to the ninja.
Everyone seemed to think about this. After a minute, Zane spoke up.
"I believe that will work," he said.
"But what if she's not strong enough? She doesn't have her true potential yet," Cole worried.
"True potential?" I repeated.
"True potential is unlocked when a person gets past the obstacle in their mind. It gives them new powers as well as new found strength," Zane explained.
"Cool," I marveled.
"What if she's not strong enough to send us all back? What will happen when she can't do it?" Cole asked.
"Cole, relax. Alice is strong. She can do it. I know she can, and I know you do too," Kai comforted.
"I heard my name and someone worrying. Cole, stop worrying," Alice said coming in with food.
"Why do you assume it's me?" Cole asked. Alice raised an eyebrow as if saying do you want a list?
"Yeah, okay. It was, but you can't stop me from worrying," Cole said.
"I guess I can't," Alice smiled. Since there wasn't enough room for her to sit, Cole made room on his lap, which Alice took happily. Lloyd covered my eyes with his hand.
"Really?" I sighed. I heard laughter. I shoved his hand away from my face to get food. It was really good chicken and rice. Alice was right, she was as good as Zane. We all ate our food in silence, and I didn't look at Cole and Alice either.
Done. We're almost to the end of the book guys, but don't worry. There will be a sequel soon. I already have it planned out. See you later. Review?
