Talia and Benny were walking to school. It was silent, until Talia broke the silence.
"Are you sure you're okay, Benny? You still look kind of pale."
"I'm fine, Tals. Stop worrying." Benny smiled.
"Okay." Talia said as Sarah and Ethan ran behind them.
"Hey, dude. Good to see you up." Ethan smiled. Sarah nodded.
"Thanks. Oh, and one more thing," Benny socked Ethan in the arm. "That was more than a little boo-boo."
"Ow." Ethan whimpered. The four friends walked in silence for about four blocks, and they reached Whitechapel High. They walked in and found Talia's locker.
Talia opened her locker and put her bag into it. When she closed it, Rory was leaning against the locker next to hers.
"Hey Hottie." He smiled. "The name's Rory. But you can call me R-dog, R-man, The Rorster, or Batman."
"Dude, what are you doing?" Benny asked.
"Talking to major hottie. Back off, she's mine." Rory responded, smirking at her.
"First of all, she has a name. Talia. And second of all, she's my sister, so you can back off." Benny said.
"How could such a hot chick be Benny's sister?" Rory asked.
"Why does everyone say that?" Benny yelled.
"Whatever." Rory muttered. "Hey Chiquita? Ever meet a Vampire?" Rory flashed his fangs.
"Uh, yeah." Talia showed her fangs, too.
"Sweet! She's hot and on Team V? Awesome!" Rory cried.
"What's Team V?" Talia asked.
"That's Rory's geeky way of saying vampire." Sarah responded.
"Oh. Alright, then." Talia said. The bell rang, and the group walked to their first class.
"Well, that was boring." Talia sighed, walking out of World History.
"Yeah. Mrs. Harner will bore you to tears. She made me cry three times." Ethan responded. Talia giggled, and Ethan soon joined in. "So, you enjoying your first day?"
"It's a lot different than my old school, that's for sure. But at least there's no ugly uniforms." Talia smiled.
"Well, that's good. Come on, let's go get something to eat." Ethan led Talia to the cafeteria. They both grabbed a tray, and stood in line. The lunch lady spooned a pile of slop onto Talia's tray, and she held back a gag.
"Uh, thanks." Talia groaned. She paid for her food and spotted Benny waving her over to his table, where Sarah and Rory were already seated.
"Hey Tals. How's your first day?" Benny asked as Talia and Ethan sat down.
"It would be a lot better if I knew what I was eating." Talia responded, wincing at the slop on her tray. "I think it's moving."
"I think that's meatloaf." Ethan assessed.
"No way. That's definitely mac and cheese." Benny responded.
"Well, whatever it is, I'm not eating it." Talia said, throwing her tray in the garbage. "Hey, can you guys help me out after school?" Talia asked Ethan and Benny.
"With what?" Ethan asked.
"I need to practice this one spell, and I need two people." Talia answered. Sensing Benny's fear, she added, "You won't get hurt, I promise."
"Okay." Benny responded cautiously. Ethan shrugged and nodded.
"Okay, let's get this over with." Benny said, sitting in a chair next to Ethan. Talia grabbed a spellbook off of her bookshelf and murmured a spell, which caused two bolts of blue lightning to shoot from her fingertips and enter Ethan and Benny. The light stopped coming from Talia's fingers, and a bolt of purple light left Benny's body and entered Ethan's, and an identical beam of light came out of Ethan and entered Benny. The boys collapsed to the ground.
"Oh my god! Are you guys okay?" Talia rushed to their side.
Benny sat up. "I feel normal."
Ethan grunted. "God, Tals. I thought you said that wouldn't hurt!"
"It wasn't supposed to, Ethan! I don't know what went wrong." Talia responded.
"Why did you call me Ethan? I'm Benny." Ethan said.
"Yeah. I'm Ethan." Benny pointed to himself. "How could you mix us up? You'd think you'd be able to guess which one's your brother."
"Uh-oh." Talia gasped.
"What?" Ethan and Benny both asked. Talia turned their heads toward each-other, and the boys screamed. "What did you do?" Ethan, in Benny's body, screamed.
"I guess I said the spell wrong. It was supposed to make you two communicate telepathically. Not switch your brains!"
"Lemme see the spell book." Benny grabbed the book out of Talia's hands. "The spell is Hi Verda Cerebella. You said Hi Virga Cerebella."
"Sorry. I'm new at this." Talia defended.
"It's okay Talia. Just switch us back." Ethan tried to calm her.
"Uh, I can't." Talia said.
"What do you mean you can't?" Benny yelled.
"The spell I was practicing was a non-reversible spell. Even mutations of Non-Reversible spells are still non-reversible. So, for now, you're stuck like this."
"Can't you talk to your Grandma?" Ethan stressed.
"She's on a two-month Single Senior's Cruise around the world. She won't be back for a while." Benny answered.
"So, you're pretty much screwed." Talia added.
"Wait, did our powers swap, too?" Ethan asked.
"Only one way to find out. Benny, touch me." Talia said.
"Whoa whoa WHOA!" Benny started.
"I meant on the arm!" Talia interrupted.
"Oh." Benny touched Talia's hand, and his eyes turned white.
He saw Ethan kissing a girl. Benny expected the girl to be Sarah, but the picture turned, and it wasn't Sarah. It was Talia.
Benny snapped back to reality, and Talia asked, "Did you have a vision?"
"Uh, yeah." Benny nodded.
"What did you see?" said Ethan.
"Uh, nothing important. I gotta go to the thing… at the place." Benny said, rushing out of the room.
A/N: I'm just gonna call Ethan and Benny by who it actually is, not which body they're in. So, when I say Ethan did something, it was Benny's body, and so on. And I couldn't wait to put out the next chapter, so I had to do it now. :)
Time for shoutouts!
MsWildfire97: You're welcome for the shoutout, and I actually have this idea that Talia will be under another spell later, but it won't really make her evil, it'll just do a Jekyll and Hyde type thingy where she's the polar opposite of what she actually is. It should be interesting.
Bethan Forever: Yay! No confusion! WHOOOOOO! :P
Hope you guys liked this. R&R! Thanks, guys!
