Chapter 4: part 2
~~~SARALYN'S POV~~~
Danny and I kept pacing back and forth.
"This is all your fault!" Danny said, "If you hadn't been in my way, none of this would have happened!"
"MY fault?!" I roared. "You should had just let me fight with you! Now look at me!"
"OKAY! Okay!" Danny said, throwing his hands up. "It's all right. We just need to find a way to get us back to the way we are... Hey! What's wrong with the way I look?!"
"Nothing! Nothing..." I said, scratching the back of my head... uh, I mean Danny's head.
"The question is, how are we going to turn you two back to normal?" Sam asked.
"We can always do the thing we did last time." Danny said. Sam nodded.
"What did you guys do?" I said.
"We'll explain later." Tucker replied.
Danny's phone started to ring in my pocket. I gasped. I dug it out of my pocket and stared at the device.
"Answer it!" Danny cried.
"No, you answer it! I stutter like crazy when I'm nervous! Also, I'm not good at impersonations!" I answered.
"She's not lying, you know." Carmen mumbled.
"Fine, I'll answer it!" Danny said, taking the phone. He talked with the person on the other line. "Hello? Oh, hi, mom. Oh, nothing. Just hanging out with friends. Now? Oh, okay, bye..." He hung the phone, biting his lip.
"Well?" I said, crossing my arms.
"That was my mom. She wants me home." Danny said softly.
"WHAT?!" I cried. "I can't do that!"
"Calm down!" Carmen said, "That's not a problem, she said hopefully..." Then my phone rang. I snatched my phone from Danny and answered.
"Hi, Aunt Becca. What?! Now?! Okay..." I hung up with a grimace.
"Well?" Danny asked. I looked at him nervously. He buried his face in his hands and groaned.
"What are we going to do?" Sam said.
"Well, we gotta do what we gotta do." I said, turning to Danny. "We have to pretend to be each other."
"WHAT?!" Danny exclaimed, "I don't know how to be a girl!" I stared at him.
"It's pretty easy," Carmen said, "Just think about rainbows or something."
"Hey, I don't think like that!" Danny and I said in unison. There was a long pause, then I took a deep breath.
"Well, wish us luck." I said.
"I'll help Danny in case something happens." Carmen said.
"What about me?" I said.
"We'll come with you." Tucker said. I nodded. We walked in separate directions.
As we came to Fenton Works, I gulped.
"It's okay, we'll help you." Sam said, putting her hand on my shoulder.
I nodded and changed forms. As I stepped through the door, Danny's sister, Jazz, was sitting on the couch, reading a book.
"Hey, Danny." She said. Sam elbowed me in the side, so I let out a surprised guttural groan.
"Uh, hey, Jazz." I said.
"Danny, are you okay? You seem weird." Jazz said, standing up. She studied me. My hands shook and I prayed that she couldn't see it.
"Uh, Danny just has a cold!" Tucker said.
"Y-yeah, so I'll just be upstairs." I said. We bolted upstairs. Jazz shrugged and continued reading.
I paced back and forth, wringing my hands.
"Sara, calm down." Sam said, "We'll get this sorted out."
"DANNY!" A voice boomed. There was a knock at the door. I gasped. The door swung open. Danny's parents poked their heads in.
"Uh, hi, Mr. and Mrs. Fenton." Tucker said nervously.
"Danny, dinner will be ready in a few minutes." Mrs. Fenton said.
"Yeah! We're having meatloaf!" Mr. Fenton exclaimed.
"Uh, okay, Mr. an- I mean, Mom and Dad." I said. Mrs. Fenton studied me.
"Danny, are you okay?" she asked.
"Yeah, you don't seem like yourself." Mr. Fenton said.
"Uh... I just have a cold." I said.
"You shouldn't have gone outside! Look at the weather!" Mrs. Fenton said, staring out the window at the gloomy and rainy sky.
"Well, you know me!" I said. "I'm just so gosh darn stupid!" Mr. and Mrs. Fenton looked at me strangely, then at each other. They shrugged and left.
"UGH!" I cried, sitting on Danny's bed. "I can't do this anymore! I have to call Danny!" I pulled out Danny's phone and dialed my number.
"Hello?" a voice said.
"Danny?"
"Sara?"
"You need to get over here! I'm going NUTS over this!"
"Meatloaf for dinner?"
"Yeah..."
"Give me a minute."
Danny and I hung up and a few moments later, he phased in through the window. He was holding 2 helmets.
"What are those?" I asked.
"These are what we are going to use to beat Vortex." Danny said, tossing one to me. I caught it and examined it.
"Anything that will change me back into a girl." I said.
