This choice: Angela found the swapplet. • Go Back...Chapter #4Angela found the swapplet. by: Morphology   As he turned the corner, Ethan saw what he didn't want to. Angela was holding the swapplet, the powerful handheld computer looked absolutely enormous in her small hands. Ethan looked at her eyes and could tell that the alien artifact had indeed divulged it's secrets. "Angela, I need you to hand that to me before anything happens." Ethan held out his hands to her in order for her to give it to him.
"What?" Angela asked, somewhat hurt that her 'sister' was trying to take away her new toy. "I didn't get a chance to try it, Lilly." Biting on her lower lip and looking up to Ethan, she did her best impression of a puppy just getting in trouble.
After all the times that he'd been over to Lilly's house, Ethan knew all the tricks that Angela could pull in order to get her way. Not falling for her tricks, Ethan stood defiant and asked again, in a much more forceful manner for the tablet. "I really need you to hand it to me."
Angela looked at Ethan with her scheming eyes and then down at the swapplet in her hands Pressing on the screen a couple times, she looked back up and smiled devilishly. Ethan watched with amazement as he started to shrink and looking over at Angela, she started to grow. Within a span of a few seconds, Ethan now had to look up to see Angela. "Now I'm the babysitter." Angela proudly proclaimed.
"What did you do?" Ethan asked looking down at himself and could see that he was still wearing Lilly's clothes, but had long, dark hair falling into his face, rather than the red, curly hair that he'd recently acquired from Lilly.
"Well, I swapped our hair." Angela announced as she wrapped a couple strands of hair around her finger. "I have always loved your curly hair and wanted to try it out." Then looking down at her own body. Her body seemed to only changed a little with Ethan's old height of 6'1". "I also swapped out our heights and our birthdays. That way I get to be the babysitter and you get to be the little kid." Ethan thought hard for his birthday and found that she was right. The date that came to mind was November 11, 2009, that seemed correct, but he knew that was wrong.
"Change us back." Ethan demanded, but found that his demand was falling on deaf ears. He stomped on the floor with his foot in an attempt to make his point clear. He looked around the room and saw his, or rather Lilly's, phone sitting on the counter. As he saw his phone an idea came to mind. "If you don't change me back, how am I going to order the pizza?"
Angela thought for a moment and jumped up with a sense of joy. "I can do it." She proudly proclaimed and quickly made her way over to the cell phone that was sitting on the counter. Placing the swapplet on the counter next to her, Angela began to reach for the phone, but quickly thought against it. She looked back over to Ethan and back to the swapplet. "But first, I think I need to put this up so that you can't reach it." Ethan made a mad leap for the swapplet, but Angela had quickly scooped it up and placed it above the kitchen cabinets, where fake plants were sitting collecting dust. She knew that at her old height, it would have been an almost impossible task for her to reach it and reveled with the fact that she was able to put something up there without much effort.
Smiling at what she was able to accomplish, Angela grabbed the phone and the ad that was on the refrigerator. Dialing the phone, she grinned devilishly as the boy on the other line called her 'Ma'am'. Seeing how much fun that Angela was having, Ethan knew that he had to try and reason with her. "Angela, please change me back, I don't want to be small. I mean, what will my friends think about me?" Ethan asked, but knew what the answer would be.
"You know they won't think anything about it. Nicole will have always believed that you were that height and age." Angela quickly pointed out as she put her hand over the microphone, in an attempt to silence her conversation with Ethan. "Or I could swap out are friends too, if you want?" Her smile grew tremendously as Ethan's eyes grew bigger. "That's what I thought, now be a good little girl and go play. Hmm?" Letting out a frustrated sigh, Ethan knew that he would need to find a better way to combat this. Ethan glumly walked up the stairs to Lilly's room.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
