*Tommy*

I groaned and rolled over in bed, pulling the covers over my head. It was WAY too early to be getting up. I jumped as I heard Jake scream suddenly, his voice sounding unusually deep. "What is it?" I asked, my voice sounding weird to my ears.

"I'm OLD!" Jake exclaimed from the bathroom, before walking out, "I'm like, the same age as Benji and Joel!"

I stared at him in shock. He was right... he looked somewhat like himself, but he was older. Way older. "You are too," he whispered, and I jumed up, running to the bathroom and looking in the mirror. I almost fainted at the sight.

"Holy fuck," I gasped, staring at my reflection, "This can't be happening..." "What're we gonna do?" Jake asked frantically, "What if our Dad's don't believe us?" "They HAVE to believe us," I replied, holding back the tears that threatened to flow, "They just HAVE to."

*Benji*

I sighed and curled closer to Joel in bed, wrapping my arm over him and not wanting to wake up yet. But all good things must come to an end, and we were startled awake by someone barging into our room and calling us frantically. I sat up and stared in shock as two guys who looked to be our age were standing before us.

"Who the fuck are you?!" Joel demanded, jumping up, "And why the fuck are you in our house?!"

"Joel... Dad, it's us," One of them said, "It's-"

"Get out!" Joel yelled at them, "Benji call the cops!" I reached for the phone in a daze, wondering how they managed to get past the security system and into the house. As soon as I picked the phone up and began dialing, Joel had chased them out of the house, and I could hear him from the window yelling at them to never come back.

I figured calling the police was pointless since they were gone until we checked around to make sure nothing was missing.

"Everythings still In place on the first floor." I told Joel when I met him upstairs.

"And everythings still up here." Joel shrugged.

"So the fuckers broke in... And didn't touch anything?" I asked flatly.

"Aparantly."

"I mean who th..." I stopped as I realized we'd forgotten to look for two very. fast growing things.

"...Benj wh..." Joel started to ask before he realized as well, "TOMMY AND JAKE!" He screeched, running up the stairs and running over to their door, shoving it open. "TOM! TOOOOM! JAKE!! WHERE ARE YOU!?" He screamed, looking into the bathroom.

"Are they in there?" I asked, panicked, glancing around the room.

"No... Ohmygod... Those guys took them..." Joel panted, "And we didn't shoot them..."

"Oh no... Oh no... We gotta call the cops..." I sputtered,running into our room and grabbing the phone. "AH... WHATS THE NUMBER FOR 911!?" I asked, my mind going blank.

"911 ASSHOLE!!!" Joel screeched. I stated to punch the numbers but stopped after 9. "...CALL THEM!"

"Wait... Joel.." I breathed, hanging up the phone, "Those guys said... they were... you don't think they were tommy and jake do you???"

"Benji you're talking crazy!" Joel exclaimed, "You KNOW they couldn't have been Jake and Tommy!"

"But... what if they ARE?" I asked, "I mean, look how much fucked up shit has happened to us already. There's a chance it's them."

"You better fucking be right," Joel said slowly, "Because I will NOT chance losing my sons."

"We won't lose them," I promised him, "Come on, let's go see if it was them afterall."

*Tommy*

"Great, fukcing GREAT!" I muttered, wiping the tears from my eyes, "NOW what do we do?"

"I don't know," Jake whispered, dropping his head into his hands, letting his tears flow, "I just don't know..."

"We have to convince them it's us," I said determinedly, "We just have to. Come on, let's try to tell them."

I wrapped my arm around Jake's waist and let him lean against me as he cried. It made me sad to see him like this... he's usually the strong one while I'm breaking down. But I couldn't blame him... he's close to Joel and Joel kinda freaked out on us.

"Jaaaaake!!! Tommmmmmy!"

I looked up as Benji called out for us, and opened my mouth to say something, but Jake was already running over to them and hugging Joel tightly around the waist, sobbing into his shoulder.

*Joel*

"Oh man... Jake it really is you isn't it?" I asked softly, rubbing his back. He pulled away, nodding fervently.

"I'm sorry... This morning... I'm sorry I freaked you out..." He apologized, choking on his own air.

"Shh Jake..." I whispered, pulling him close again. "I'm sorry I yelled at you... after you left and we couldn't find your younger selves we thought you'd been kidnapped. I was worried sick... You didn't do anything wrong sweetie." I wasn't really one for pet names other than the occasional Joely but i'd lived with that one my whole life... But right then I felt that it was nessicary. I could hear Benji whispering softly in Toms ear, but I couldn't hear what he was saying. I bet we looked so strange. Four nearly-fourty year old men standing in the street hugging and whispering to one another.

"Look why don't we just walk home and talk some more..." I suggested, as we were only a little down the block.

"C'mon.." I said softly, pulling Jake along with me as he wiped his tears away. We all went back into the house and went into the livingroom. I think tom was dealing with it much better than Jake, who was still crying. I guess It would suck. They were only 15 before, and we've had issues with getting old at the NORMAL rate. And I'm not ashamed to say i've cried over it on a few occasions.

"I'm such a pussy." Jake sniffled, laughing sadly to himself.

"Naw you're not." Benji smiled, "It's alright. I understand."

"It'l be okay." Tom nodded.

"Y'know ONNA these days these things are just not gonna turn out okay for once. I mean we go through so much and risk so much. Going forwrd in time, backward in time, switching bodies, changing ages... Fucking our dads. I mean comeon. If someone found out about all that supernatural shit wed be science experiments. And if someonefound out about the fucking Benji and Joel will be arrested... What if this is that one time things just AREN'T gonna be okay?" He bust out crying again.

"I'll figure something out Jake." I soothed him, "Don't worry."

"Shhh it's okay Jake," I whispered, hugging him close, "No one will find anything out, I promise."

"Exactly," Benji nodded, "No one will find out about us fucking, because we always have the blinds and all closed anyways, and we've never done that stuff in public anyways, AND we're the only ones who know about it, so we don't have to worry about that."

"But what if we don't get changed back this time?" Jake whimpered, "We'll have missed like, 24 years of our life."

"We'll think if something," I told him firmly, "We'd gotten out of every other strange thing that has happened, haven't we? This one will be no different."

"But, haven't you thought about WHY this happening?" Jake asked, "I mean, why should all this happen to US? Are we being punished for loving each other?"

"I think it's more like we're being tested on how strong our love for each other acutally is," Tommy said thoughtfully, "I mean look, we've overcome all the other stuff before because we love each other. And we'll get over this one for the same reason. Who knows, maybe someone putting a spell on us or something."

"Maybe it's Billy," Jake chuckled, "He IS weird like that."

"Billy? I don't think so," I laughed, "Billy's too... I dunno, girly, for that stuff?"
