The Switch

Part Two: Not Exactly the Best Morning Ever

John's POV

I looked up at the people who had just entered his…err…'Aelita's' room. There was one in blue pajamas, had blond hair and glasses ('Wow, there's someone dorkier than me,' my mind thought.), one in a white undershirt and green boxers and had short brown hair, and one in a purple shirt which what John thought had a dog urinating image on it ('What the fudge?'), red boxers and blond hair that was greased into a gigantic spike with a purple spot in the middle. (A/N Yes I know I said this in the previous chapter, but I am not good at starting stuff. So basically you get a repeat, haha)

"Who the hell are you people?" I asked.

"Um…Aelita, it's just us…" said the kid in blue.

"And you would be?..." John asked again.

"Damn, Aelita, if you're joking with us, it's not funny…" said Dog-boy.

"I'm not, and my name isn't Aelita!" I said, getting a little annoyed.

"Okay, Aelita, that's enough now. Why were you screaming?" said Bluey.

"I was screaming because I'm in a goddamn girl's body!" I yelled. "How would YOU like it if you suddenly switched genders with somebody you saw in a dream?!"

I mean, really. How would YOU feel? Yes, you, the reader. I'm talking to you.

Everyone was silent for a minute at my outburst.

"What?" Bluey, Greeny and Dog-boy all said at the same time.

"How are you guys not understanding this?! I'M NOT A GIRL!" I screeched.

They all gave me an utterly confused and somewhat creeped out look which sent shudders down my spine.

"O…kay…" Bluey said slowly. "That's it; we're taking you to the factory for a scan…something's obviously very, very wrong."

"What? Factory? What factory? You're not going to prod me with sharp things are you?" I asked standing up, putting on an unusual expression of terror. (A/N Unusual, that is, for Aelita, not John.)

"Just get dressed, Aelita, and we'll head over there as soon as you're done," Bluey said. Either he didn't hear what I said or he didn't want to hear it.

"Wait, what?" I said, and but then the threesome walked outside before they gave me an answer.

This was going to be a very painful next few minutes.

3rd Person

Jeremie, Odd and Ulrich walked outside.

"That…was weird…" Ulrich said slowly.

"Yeah," said Jeremie. "That was the weirdest I've ever seen from Aelita. Spouting off that she had 'changed genders'. You think it's XANA?"

"Nah," Odd said. "XANA can't do all that. The only speech he's capable of is 'Aaaarrrhhh…'."

Ulrich and Odd laughed, but Jeremie's face was locked in an expression of worry.

"How can you guys la-" Jeremie half said, only to be interrupted by a few crashing noises and loud yells from Aelita's room.

shatter "SUNNUVA…How the HELL do you get this thing on?!" crash bang "OW! What the…GRAAAAH!!!" thunk thwack thwack thwack "DIE, UNHOLY PIECE OF SHIT!" stomp stomp stomp stomp crash

Silence followed.

"…"

John walked out of the room, in Aelita's red and pink hoodie and boots, but blushing fiercely and had what looked like a black eye (A/N For the love of crud, do NOT ask. I don't have an answer).

"What…the…hell?..." Odd asked slowly.

"…I saw and felt things I never, ever should have…" John said quietly, eyes wide.

Jeremie said nothing, just went over, grabbed John by the wrist and ran off towards the factory, dragging John behind him.

"Hey, hey, hey! Wait a minute!" he said. "Where are we going?!"

A few minutes later, at the factory.

Jeremie shoved John into the scanner, something he would never have done with Aelita. The door closed quickly as John gave a shrill girl-ish shriek.

"Jeremie, why'd you do that? I know I wouldn't shove my love interest into a large metal tube." Odd said.

"Okay. Normally I'd hit you before you'd say 'interest'. But for now, I have a sneaking suspicion that that isn't Aelita-" said Jeremie, before being interrupted.

"OH REALLY? WHAT GIVES YOU THAT IDEA, GENIUS? MAYBE MY LOW VOICE?" John yelled from inside his tube.

"So what are you going to do about i-" Odd half said, when he was interrupted by the beeping of the supercomputer relaying that an attack was taking place.

"Shit!" Jeremie said. He opened the tube and dragged John out. "Go to the corner, and stay there. I may be able to stop this before it begins."

But Jeremie's statement was immediately put to shame as one of XANA's ghost came out of the wiring and flew straight into John.

"What the he—AARRRGGHH!!" he screamed. Jeremie, Odd and Ulrich all prepared themselves for an attack, but instead saw something really weird.

Something flew out of Aelita's body and into the wall.

It was John. Or, should I say, John's soul.

"What the…" John said. "Hey! I'm myself again! ROXXOR!" He began doing a victory dance.

Then, as if things couldn't get any weirder, the XANA's ghost flew out of Aelita's limp body and back into the wiring, and the beeping stopped.

"Man, it's great to be looking at myself again…it was weird looking at a girl that up-close."

Unfortunately for him, John did not have much time to enjoy this as he suddenly started moving as though he was being sucked back into Aelita.

"What?! NO! I DON'T WANNA! NOOOO!!!" he said, falling on the ground and digging his ghostly nails into the metal floor without much success. It took a mere thirty seconds before he went back into Aelita's body, which stood up quickly.

John looked at herself again. "NOOOooooo!!!!!!!" he cried, and stomped his feet in frustration. A few bitter tears fell down his cheeks.

"This is, no doubt, the weirdest day I've ever, ever had," Ulrich said. The other two nodded in agreement.

"Why did XANA even launch an attack? It's almost as though he did that just to prove that it wasn't Aelita we were talking to." Jeremie said, mostly to himself.

"Yeah. Maybe he got sick of whats-his-face over there screaming," Odd said, laughing.

"I have a name, you know!" John yelled.

"Well, what is it?" the other three asked at the same time.

"It's John. My name is John. NOT AELITA, DAMMIT."

"Okay, okay, we've got that much figured out, at least…" Odd said.

All of the sudden a thought struck Jeremie.

"Wait a minute…if you're not Aelita, then…where is the real Aelita?!" he yelled.

Meanwhile…

Aelita woke with a start.

'That was one weird dream…' she thought. 'Why did I spontaneously dream of that boy?...Oh well, I guess it's nothing to worry about.'

She looked around to see not her room, but a dark and extremely messy room filled to the brim with posters of Beatles, Daft Punk, Weird Al Yankovic and many others Aelita had never heard of.

"This isn't my room…" she said quietly, getting out of the bed. It was then she realized that something was very, very wrong.

A/N: And that's the end of Chapter 2! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed typing it. Please, please, please, please, PLEASE leave a review! (Please.)
