"...What happened?" Remy groaned as he came to.
"You blacked out," Kitty explained.
"So I wasn't dreaming?" Remy asked.
"I'm sorry," Kitty looked apologetic, "We'll find some way to get her back to normal."
"I think I'm going to be sick," Remy ran for the nearest bathroom.
"Remy always said he would love me no matter what I looked like, but I think this isn't what he meant," Molly said.
"We'll go down to the infirmary and I'll check you two out," Hank said.

*BANG,CRASH!*
"GET AWAY FROM ME WITH THAT THING!" Mollys voice shrieked.
Molly went into the examination room to see her body pressed up against a wall.
"It's just a needle, Victor. I just need to take a blood sample," Hank said.
"I'll get him," Molly tromped over and easily picked him up. She held out his arm and Hank took the sample. "So you don't like needles? You've been through so much stuff and that's what scares you?"
"Go ahead and laugh it up," Victor glared through her eyes.
"I wasn't going to laugh. It's just weird because I hate them too," Molly explained, "We actually have something in common."
"That is...unusual," Victor said gruffly.
"You're telling me," Molly said.
"It's your turn," Hank said.
Molly held out her arm and looked away.
"It's better if you don't look," She said to Victor,
"If you think about something else, it doesn't seem so bad."
"Now you tell me," Victor said in a grumpy tone.
"Sorry," Molly smiled apologetically.
Logan and everyone else came in.
"We contacted Magneto. He agreed not to try anything funny since we have one of his best men under observation and his body. He'll be over within the hour. I called Chuck and he and Jean are going to try to make it back by tomorrow.
We'll see if we can't get short stuff and the hair ball back to normal before the week is over with," Logan said.
"'Short stuff'," Remy chuckled, "I'll have to use that sometime."
Molly blinked. She and Kurt had developed non-verbal communication over the course of time. She sent him a look that said, "Is he okay now?"
Kurt sent her back a look that said, "A little. Don't push it."
Molly was worried. Usually nothing could break Remy, but this was different. Remy thrived on attention and physical contact.
In this situation, he couldn't have either. Molly went against her better judgment and went over to Remy. His skin color became three shades whiter and his eyes bugged out.
"Listen carefully," Molly said, "This isn't permanent. I hate it as much as you do. If you love me so much,
you can get through this. You're not going to crack just because I'm in a mans body. You've been through a lot worse. If I have to I'll punch the sense back into you, but this is not the end!"
Remy smirked, "Yes ma'm. Whatever you say."
"I miss you Molly." He said so no one else could hear.
"I miss you too,"
Now it was a waiting game for Magneto to come, and to see if The Professor and Jean could get back. To be on the safe side, Logan and Peter guarded Victor in the meantime.
Even though they were back to speaking terms, Molly decided to give Remy a little space and hung out with the girls in her room. "This is almost like that one movie!" Kitty said excitedly.
"Ugh. No!" Molly moaned, "We're not comparing my life to that crappy movie!"
"You have to admit there are some similarities," Jubilee said.
"What movie?" Amara asked, a bit out of the loop.
"'The Hot Girl'," Kitty said, "It's about a creepy man and a teenage girl switching bodies."
"Anyway, it'll be nice to have my own bed again, but it'll be even nicer to have my own body back," Molly said.
"Is Remy going to be in trouble once you're back to normal?" Rahne asked.
"I don't think it's very fair to punish him when he didn't know it wasn't me,
but in this case I am pretty mad at him for not picking up on the obvious. I can't believe none of you did!" Molly said.
"We're sorry," Kitty looked guilty, "We knew you were acting different, but we really didn't think much of it. We just kind of accepted it."
Suddenly the phone rang. The girls listened as Logan picked it up.
"...Okay. They'll just have to grin and bare it. Guess we'll think of another way," He sounded grim.
"Fantastic," Molly rolled her eyes. Logan knocked on the door.
"The Professor got held up. He said they probably won't make it back until Friday."
"Friday?" Molly shouted. That was four days away!
"Calm down. He suggested we try and contact Betsy Braddock, or, as a last resort, Emma Frost," Logan said.
Molly suddenly felt revulsion. Betsy had seemed nice for the few minutes they met, but Emma hated Molly and would probably find a lot of amusement in the situation.
"I'm going to try and call around, just hang in there," Logan left.
Within a half hour they found out that Betsy was on an extended vacation from modeling, and Emma was unable to reach. Soon after that Magneto arrived.
"This is a very unusual turn of events," The older man observed as he stared at Sabertooth and Molly in each others respective bodies.
"Unusual? That's the understatement of the century!" Molly laughed bitterly in Sabertooths' body.
"Ah, so appearances don't deceive," Magneto observed, "Sabertooth usually doesn't say more then five words in a day and I must say you've cleaned him up well."
"Um, thank you," Molly stared at Magneto, surprised he was being so polite.
Hank and Ororo took Magneto to the lab. Victor nudged Molly.
"Let's get out of here. I feel like I'm being caged up."
"We should stay here," Molly said, "That way they can keep a better eye on us."
"You do what you want. I'm going to catch a few burgers," Victor opened the nearest window and climbed down the big tree in the yard.
"Oh he is _not_ eating meat again in my body!" Molly proceeded to chase after him.
This whole thing was really starting to give her a migraine.

Molly quickly jumped into the passenger side of her own car.
"What are you doing driving my car?" She glared at him.
"I found your keys this morning," Victor said, then started driving.
"I understand you want to get out, but this is silly. I feel much safer staying in. Besides, I'm tired of you eating meat in my body just because you feel like it," Molly explained.
"Well that's just too bad for you," Victor said.
Molly groaned. She didn't like being forceful, but this was quickly getting frustrating. Victor lacked respect and empathy. It was downright infuriating!
"It's just kind of a thing with me. I like animals, I turn into them, so generally I don't feel like eating them," Molly tried to explain.
"Well not all of us were raised to be hippy tree huggers," Victor said.
"What?" Molly said, confused.
"Every vegetarian I ever met was raised that way. They were annoying.
I'm not sure if you're annoying yet, but you're friend sure is," Victor said.
"Well I wasn't raised to be. Trust me, my family eats meat like most people and they're _not_ hippies. I'm the only one in my family anyway. I'm sure Kitty can be overwhelming at times, but she's very passionate about things like that," Molly said.
Silence as they reached the burger joint.
"...I'm still going to eat meat," Victor said.
Molly sighed inwardly.
No empathy at all.
About an hour later they came out of the restaurant. Molly reasoned to herself that she couldn't force Victor to do anything he didn't want to, so she'd just brush her teeth numerous times later when she was back to normal. Maybe do a cleanse with lots of apple cider vinegar and some purely vegan food to 'repair' her body.
They stepped outside and suddenly found themselves surrounded by The Friends of Humanity.
"Ohh no," Molly groaned. Just perfect.
"You mutants think you can just go into restaurants like normal people and eat our food?" One man said, "You should be fishing it from the garbage!"
"The only garbage here is you, weirdo," Victor said.
"Uh, Vic? Ix-nay on the insults-ay," Molly was starting to get nervous.
A man grabbed Mollys body, her wrist, getting in "her" face, which was really Victors at the moment.
"You shouldn't be talking girl. That could get you into real trouble."
"I'm not the one who should be worried about trouble," Victor smiled in a sneaky way.
Molly noticed that "his" eyes were changing to look very cat like.
Within moments Victor had used Mollys body to turn into a tiger.
Molly was very surprised to say the least.
Before she could tell him not to do anything she heard one of the men shouting "Quick, Gas 'em!"
Then everything went black.
