Chapter 4 - Isabel-POV

To say that I was shocked when I learned about Liz would be an understatement. I felt flashes in my mind since I first saw her, but I just assumed that it was nothing. And then when she and Max started getting those flashes when they kissed, I knew that something was different. So, that night, I went into her dreams.

Ugh. Something that I never wanted to see, was my brother naked. But Liz was dreaming about it.

When she saw me, she was shocked. And extremely embarrassed. That's when I realised what had happened. So I asked her if she needed cover. She whole-heartedly agreed, and then I came up with the plan.

I told Michael what had gone on and that Liz needed someone to cover her tracks for the night. I didn't tell him everything of course. Just that it was important to Max. He agreed and we got started.

Michael-POV

When Isabel asked for my help, I never thought that it would be something that extreme. But no, she had to go all the way. One wave of her hand, and I was suddenly the duplicate of Liz. Isabel then said that I had to play Liz in front of Mrs Evans, so that Liz and Max wouldn't be in trouble. God. It was an awful night.

FLASHBACK

"Isabel, Max, honey. I'm home!" I heard Mrs Evans shout. Now time for the charade.

"Hi, Mom. We're in the living room." Isabel replied.

"Oh, Liz. I didn't know you were hear." Mrs Evans said.

"Sorry, Mrs Evans. But Alex is starting to be pain for Isabel, so I came over to talk to her. I hope it's not a problem?" I answered her. Oddly enough, my voice was the same as Liz's. It was spooky.

"Not at all sweetheart. Where's Max tonight?" She asked me.

"Oh. He and Michael are having a boys night tonight." Isabel replied, rolling her eyes. "He told me to tell you that he was crashing there. So I felt lonely and asked Liz if she could sleep over. Is that okay, Mom?"

"Of course, honey. Let me just make you girls some snacks and we'll all sit and talk, okay?"

We smiled at her.

"Now remember, Michael. Only eat little bits, and use you knife and fork. And don't talk when you have food in your mouth. Okay? Got it? Good" Isabel whispered.

I gulped. This was the hard part. To actually act like Liz. She had never really eaten in front of us and I didn't know what she liked.

Isabel, of course, sensed my fears.

"Don't worry, Michael," She said. "I've keyed your stomach to act like Liz's until you go back to yourself. No side affects before you start worrying about that either."

"Is? Can you set the table please?" Mrs Evans shouted.

"Sure, Mom," Isabel replied.

After dinner, I was subjected to answer Mrs Evans' questions about how Liz and Max were 'getting along'. I avoided them as often as I could, and by the end of it, Isabel was in tears laughing.

"Oh, Liz. It's getting late. Do you want me to call your parents and tell them that you're staying here tonight?" Mrs Evans asked.

"No, thank you," I replied as Liz. "My mom thinks that I'm over Maria's, but she told me that she was going over to Alex's, so here I am. But, if my mom calls in the morning, could you be so kind as to tell her I was here last night. Maria does some weird things."

"Okay. I'll go find the camp bed and you can stay in Isabel's room."

"Thank you, Mrs Evans." I said.

"Yeah, Mom, thanks." Isabel copied.

I shot her an evil look that said, 'You will pay for all this later'. Except I don't think it worked in my current body, because she just started laughing again.

END FLASHBACK

When I finally knew what it was all about, I have to say, the sacrifice was worth it. But there was one thing I couldn't place. How far did Max and Liz actually go that night, to get the information we wanted and needed?

Isabel-POV

I swear that night was so hilarious. Even Michael had to admit it. Of course we were lucky in the morning, because my mom had already left to take dad some lunch for work, and, with Michael being himself again, we managed to slip out of the house and we went to his apartment, were we got all the information that truly changed our lives.
