Dear readers, thank you so much for your supportive reviews! I simply loved putting together the Freaky Friday-chapters and I'm so happy you liked it! :)

Answer to Gen Heart's review: Interesting theory! It definitely puts Lammy in a bigger role, which she deserves, but it's not quite what I'd imagined... This chapter will hint on what caused Barry and Olivia to change bodies. But the explanation stays unknown in the end (so you can stick to your theory if you want)!

"I'm more confused than a chameleon in a bag of skittles!" I exclaimed after waking up in a bed at S.T.A.R. Labs.

"You took the words right out of my mouth." Cisco said. He was picking off a couple of blue dots from my face as I stood up. "Here! I've made you a smoothie."

It felt so good being back in my own body - I absolutely love being a woman! Even if this insane experience must have been educational on some level, I hope it won't ever happen again…

As Cisco and I entered the main lab together, Barry greeted us with a smile. 24 hours of me non-shaving his face had given him a nice stubble. He looked very handsome with it, actually.

"Good mornin', good mornin'!" he sang and snapped his fingers in a buoyant rhythm. "Your little heart will soon shine through…"

I think I blushed.

"Is it still Olivia stuck in there?" Cisco joked. Everyone knew we'd switched back. "I don't really see Barry as a gifted singer."

"He is!" Caitlin said. "I've actually heard him sing."

Ronnie was there, too. Barry took a step forward and gave me a long, comforting hug. It was warm and implied that he liked me even better now, after our freakiest adventure (jet).

"So what was behind this? Any ideas?"

Cisco took a bite of a liquorice string and started chewing.

"I've narrowed the explanations down and so far I've got… Pretty much nothing!"

"Clearly, it escapes definition." Barry concluded.

"I don't like feeling this powerless." Caitlin confessed. "The scientific tools I've mastered are of no use!"

I wrapped my arm around hers.

"Don't say that, Caitlin! It's your personal qualities that help us the most."

"Not that you think you know the average amount of bugs Barry swallows when running."

We laughed at Cisco's remark and then Ronnie kissed Caitlin on the cheek. Barry chuckled.

"Olivia's right."

"Of course I am!" I teased, making him grin even more.

"...We were all of us struck by lightning…" He looked at Ronnie. "..exploded into two…"

His Earth-colored eyes met mine.

"... and fell in a bonfire."

"As if what happened to me was more of an accident!" I pointed out. "Fell in a bonfire! Even if that's the truth, it's insulting."

Barry slightly hit my arm and said we should get back to the subject. Cisco shrugged his shoulders.

"Who says we have to know what happened anyway?"

As long as it doesn't happen again! My gaze froze at the small piece of paper on the desk: CHANGE IS COMING. Perhaps that was the reason for our body switch? Barry and I did get the same fortune! It's totally magical and, in my opinion, totally possible! But the others are unlikely to believe that, so I let the theory pass unmentioned.

A moment later Iris stumbled in and hurried towards Barry.

"Barry Henry Allen! Where have you been? I've was worried sick… Wait, are you growing a beard?"

Without hesitation, they embraced and kissed passionately. My stomach twirled itself into a bun. I picked up my tote bag and avoided looking into anyone's eyes.

"And you smell like Olivia!" Iris exclaimed.

"I do?"

"Oranges and almond!"

He smelled himself and looked at me with a funny face. Yes, I had used my body lotion when I was in his body!

"You're welcome." I said. "Gotta go, guys. I'll see you later…"

"Hey, Oz! Shouldn't we figure this out before we, you know, go back to normal?"

"Not right now. Besides, like Cisco said, who needs to figure out what's already worked out fine?"

"True, but still…"

I interrupted him and accidentally meet his gaze. Those kind and glossy hazel eyes peered through my soul and I didn't want to stay a minute longer, in fear of him seeing too much of it.

"Lammy needs me!"

REFLECTION: Barry is one of the best friends I've ever had and I love him. I don't know when I started loving him, but I know I do. Now, there are butterflies flying around inside whenever he smiles at me.

QUESTION: Does that mean I'm also in love with him?

ANSWER: Not necessarily.

…

TRUTH: Yes! I'm in love with Barry! Who's The Flash. And has a girlfriend. One I like! Crap. Still, there's no going back from here.

My classes have ended and CCMA is closed for the summer. For a few weeks I've laid low (or been kind of low, depends on how you look at it). I've cried without tears a lot: A movie, a text from Eric, googling stuff… Yep, all those things made me sob without a specific reason! I've been spending time with Lammy, which have been wonderful to say the least, and found myself drawn to Ed Sheeran's sentimental love songs. (Urgh!) My self-control has been weak and that hasn't helped me control my fiery powers... One time, when I was dangerously nostalgic in front of Tom & Jerry, Adam had to take out the fire extinguisher again! But it's better now.

I haven't been at S.T.A.R. Labs much since Turbulent Bull seems to have vanished, which is odd, cause how can something big and hairy suddenly become invisible? We don't know how to find it, cause we never placed the roaming beacon on when we had the chance...

I think I may be on to something, though. This creature has to be part-time human, as a disguise if nothing else. Cisco agrees with me.

He and I went to the cinema two weeks ago. We saw a new sci-fi we hoped would be like Star Wars, but it wasn't nearly as good. Still, I love hanging out with my movie-geek of a friend! Eric and I got together last friday at a restaurant and I've had coffee with Caitlin a few times as well. My only contact with Barry has been through texting, though I never text him first.

My dad and Lauren came on a surprise visit yesterday! They brought chips, a dried bull muscle for Lammy (ironic, right?) and revealing news… They are in love!

"About time!" I said. "I often wished that as a child, cause you're practically my mom."

Dad put his arm around her and smiled.

"It only took us 20 years…"

Lauren laughed as dad tried to kiss her on the mouth. It was weird seeing them tease each other. I giggled and took a brown pastry out of the oven.

"Honey, we didn't know if it was the right time to tell you…" dad expressed. "You've been through a lot lately."

"A lot and a lot." I admitted.

I looked at him.

"We are extremely proud of you, Olive."

"Not Olive, please dad!"

Lauren observed my face closely. Her brown eyes never misses out on anything (even if I am a very talented actress).

"Do you want us to use Oz instead?" she asked and I felt a lump in my chest.

I snorted.

"No. The name's Little Heart!"

I placed the newly baked muffins on a plate.

"What's on your mind, dear?"

"Huh? Oh, I'm just wondering if dad will agree to watch another episode of Gilmore Girls."

She knew I wasn't exactly honest but I don't think dad had a clue.

"You seem saddened." Lauren continued. "You don't shine as much as you usually do."

I smiled meaningly.

"Boy-trouble?"

She's as curious as Jessica Fletcher, my fairy godmother!

"You make me sound like a teenager!"

Now dad joined the interrogation.

"Is it that Eric your friends talked about?"

I shook my head and started making us some tea.

"Barry?"

Her eyes met mine and I didn't flinch a muscle, which was answer enough for her. My dad took it as a "no".

"Cisco?" he continued with widened eyes.

I gave away a laugh and felt my strength return to me. Laughing has always been a direct channel to my heart! It began shining and flickered in yellow and white light.

"No, not Cisco! Lauren was right the second time."

It felt weird almost confessing my feelings out loud. Lauren gave me a warm look.

"That's nice! I like him. You two are more alike than what meets the eye."

I sighed.

"You forget Iris." I pointed out. "He's been in love with her his whole life and they're happy together."

We walked into the living room, my dad carrying the tray.

"So you can see yourself with him?" Lauren asked. "I mean, is that what you want? To be in her place."

I shook my head slowly and turned on the TV. The beautiful tones of Carole King singing "la la la" filled the room.

"No." I answered. "After everything that's happened I don't want to be anywhere but here! Things are better this way." (I actually believe that.)

Dad thought it was a good time to move on.

"You know what the deal is with that cup and these Greek monsters?"

"It's so tangled up, dad... I can't get my head around it. Still, it's easier for me to understand the supernatural..." I smiled as I saw the priceless (clueless) faces of the others in my mind. "I don't rely on science."

Lammy jumped up in my lap and licked my hand. Lauren giggled at a memory.

"You used to believe in garden goblins, remember? And you still believe in Santa Claus?"

"I do!" I confessed with a playful grin.

Suddenly, a thought struck my mind like a flash… Like a flash from above: If myths are getting true, then perhaps Dr. Kirsch's golden cup is like the Holy Grail? A cup of life that makes the drinker (Turbulent Bull & Co) IMMORTAL! It's crazy, I know! But what if things we learn to dismiss as nonsense is actually for real?

Olivia Zoe

29th of June 2015

So... Olivia finds herself in the same situation Barry was in, until he came clean to Iris. In the chapters to come, I'd like to welcome some characters from the original show. Any thoughts on that, dear readers?
