Nicky and James found themselves walking down a relatively empty street at night. It had been a rough day, mostly for James, and now he wanted a drink. To get drunk. He'd turned eighteen a few months back, but had yet to take a sip of that sweet, sweet alcoholic nectar.
"I'm just saying, if I hop someone, I'll be of legal age to drink!"
Nicky shook her head. "No way, buddy. That's way too dangerous. Not only will you be in someone else's body, but there's a reason we've kept you away from the alcohol so long. The law is the law, you know."
They rounded the corner at the same time to spot a police officer enjoying a nice snack on the hood of his car. James' eyes lit up. " There! I can take over him! No one will question an officer of the law popping in to buy a drink." Nicky waved her hands. "No, no, that's too dangerous, I keep saying. Besides, you're not nearly responsible enough to handle hopping a cop *or* drinking. Me on the other hand....yeah, I want that body!"
James frowned. "No way! I called him first!"
Nicky tousled her little brother's hair. "Yeah, but I'm the older sibling, so..."
"Yeah, but that's not fair."
Nicky contemplated his statement for one moment before spinning around rapidly, transforming in the space of a single instant from her regular self into a rather ostentatious pop-star inspired version of herself. Her hair grew out long and purple, spilling over her shoulders in waves. Her clothes shrank and twisted until she was dressed in a tight purple and blue halter top. Her skirt was tiny, flaring out in poppy little ruffles in colors identical to her top. Gloves formed around her hand, along with green and blue bracelets. Shin-high boots combined all three colors, finishing off the look beautifully.
James gaped at her in surprise. He hadn't known she could do this. "So, can I hop the cop?"
He nodded dully, and she did just that, vanishing into the officer's body. She stood up, standing tall with her hands on her hips. "Man, this body really makes me feel heroic!"
"Uhh..but how did you do that?" He gaped. "All the powers I've ever seen in our family, and I don't think I've ever seen anything like that happen before."
Nicky chuckled. "Well, it's a bit of a secret. The ones who have it keep it secret from the ones who don't, even within our own family. Up until now, I didn't think you were responsible enough to learn about it. But since you've been so down lately, I figured it might be a nice thing to cheer you up with! Of course you'll have to take a test first, but that is what it is. So, what do you say?"
