"She hung up on me," He whispered sadly.

"Why?" I asked softly.

"Tasha hates this idea, she doesn't want to be able to change into animals," He answered and smiled weakly at me.

"She'll come around," I patted his shoulder gently as he walked upstairs to his room. I picked the phone up and dialed Attie's number quickly. As soon as I'd been given her number I'd had it memorised.

We had been friends for four years now, since I was fourteen and she was fifteen. And I'd had a crush on her for four years now too. Scott thought I was really sad for not asking her out like he did with Di. I'm not brave enough to do that, especially if she turned me down.

What would happen then?

How could we still be friends with her knowing that I liked her like that?

"Hello this is Atlantica Rivers speaking, how may I help you?" Attie answered the phone.

"I still can't believe you answer the phone like that," I laughed. "Well, hello to you too Clint. My day's been great, thanks for asking," She giggled.

"Sorry," I laughed, "You wanna come over and chill?"

"Sure, I'll be over as soon as I get dressed." "You're naked?" I joked.
"In my pyjamas," She laughed, "Pervert."

"I am not!"

"Are too, I'll see you soon," She hung the phone up and I grinned goofily. Bob came bounding down the stairs.

"Good morning Clint!" He grinned. "How much red cordial did you have for breakfast?" I joked.

"None," He pouted, "Can't I just say hello?"

"No. You wanna chill with me and Attie?" I asked.

"Won't I interrupt something?" He nudged me as we walked into the kitchen.

"Stop it already, she doesn't like me like that, lay off," I shoved him back and poured myself a glass of milk.

"How do you know she doesn't?" He questioned and grabbed my glass of milk and downed it in one gulp. I scowled and poured myself another glass.

"I just know these things," I answered and grabbed my glass before he could steal it again. "

I say you should just ask her out," Bob shrugged and grabbed a poptart from the cupboard.

"Oh my God! Did you just see that pig fly by?" I rolled my eyes, "It's not gonna happen Bob, so don't push it."

"Well, then can I ask her out?"

"Don't you dare!" I gasped, that would be absolute torture. Seeing my identical twin going out with the girl I like. Nothing could be worse.
"Okay, chill man. I was kidding," He held his hands up in mock surrender. "We should go find some animals to morph into today."

"Yeah, see what it's like," I nodded and stole his poptart, taking a bite out of it.

*~*~*~*

"Can you please become you again?" I asked Diana uncomfortably.

<Why?>

"Because this is creepy," I shuddered.

<Okay sweetie.>

Diana, or... Diana as a dog ran into the bathroom and emerged a few second later as her normal self. I hugged her tight.

"You don't like this much do you?" She asked.

"It's freaky, I dunno if I like it or not," I shrugged.

"You'll like it once you actually morph, you wanna go find a cat or something?" She suggested.

"Uh, not right now, no," I answered, and took her hands in my own.

"What do you wanna do then?" She kissed me lightly. I placed a hand behind her neck and pulled her closer to me, kissing her back softly. I ran my tongue over her bottom lip and slid it inbetween her teeth as she opened her mouth. She moaned softly as our tongues mingled lightly.
"Scott!" Attie's voice made us jump apart, "Clint says you have my CD!" She walked into my room. "Oh, sorry guys."

"For what?" Diana laughed. "Um, interrupting," She blushed. "Which CD do you want?" I asked, laughing at her embarrassment.

"Um, my one?" She grinned. "Which one, I've got like, four of yours," I answered and picked them up.

"Um, my Living End CD," She answered, grinning as I handed her the red CD. "You don't need it do you?"

"Nope," I shook my head. "Cool, thanks!" She smiled at the both of us, "You can take off where you left now." And with that she left the room. I laughed, "You know, that friend of yours is weird sometimes."

"My friend?" Diana laughed, "She's your friend too!"

"True," I grinned and pressed my mouth against her lightly, "Now where were we?"

*~*~*~*

"Can you get the door Tasha?" My mum called out, "I'm up to my elbows in soap suds!"

"Yep!" I called back and ran to the front door, I swung it open to find Dave standing there.

"Uh, hey," He smiled softly, shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Hi," I answered and let him inside. We walked up to my room silently.
"Are you okay?" He asked me once the door was closed.

"Yeah," I nodded, "Sorry about hanging up on you earlier."

He shrugged, "It's okay. I understand why you're freaked about this whole thing."

"Yeah," I smiled softly at him, "So, I'm forgiven?"

He nodded and pulled me into a hug. I wrapped my arms around his neck and breathed in his spicy scent.

"I could never stay angry at you anyways, you're too cute," He grinned and kissed my forehead softly. I laughed softly.

"Lame," I giggled.

"Why thank you," He grinned and kissed me gently. I sighed and kissed him back. "What do you wanna do today?"

"Um," I paused, trying to think, "We could maybe go to the park and chill. Or hang around here or something."

"The park sounds nice, let's go," He took a hold of my hand and interlaced his fingers with mine as we walked downstairs and outside. "Dave and I are going to the park mum!" I called out.

"Have fun!" She answered.

"We will, bye!" I closed the front door behind us.

"Bye!" Came her faint reply. I leant up against Dave as we walked towards the park, the events of last night slippng from my mind completely.
