Pairing: Syndisparklez (Syndicate x Sparklez)

Summary: Jordan learns that Tom isn't the big jerk he always thought he was.

"I just need a strength pot and then I'm good. Do you have any left?"

"I have one. Let me go fetch it." Wag disappeared into the back of his house while I sat on his couch and waited. I was going on a nether expedition later and I wanted a strength pot just in case I ran into any trouble. Usually I'd go with someone else, but everyone was busy apparently. No one would answer their communicators so I assumed they were busy. Or maybe they just didn't want to deal with me.

Probably both.

Lately no one has really been hanging out with me. When I try to join in with them, they just seem annoyed. So I just adventure by myself.

Wag appeared back in the room with a bottle in his hands. "Here you are, one strength potion. Is that all you needed?"

"Yup. Thanks so much. I didn't have the nether wart to make any. I guess I'll see you later then. You sure you don't wanna come with me?" I took the blue looking bottle from him. Blue? Strength potions were usually red or pink. Maybe he put more blaze powder in it or something. I wasn't gonna question it. Wag always knew what he was doing. He doesn't mess potions up.

"No, I'm not much of an adventurous soul. I feel like I would only be extra weight on your shoulders. You go ahead."

I didn't care if Wag was extra weight. I just wanted someone to talk and joke with. I'm tired of being alone.

The nether was literally the hottest place on this earth. As soon as I stepped through the portal, I started sweating. I could feel how scorching the nether rack was underneath my shoes.

Zombie pigmen walked by, ignoring me completely as they searched for threats. I was looking for a nether fortress. I needed blaze rods to make more pots so I didn't have to go to Wag for potions everytime the purge happened.

After walking for miles in scorching heat and avoiding pigmen, I finally found one. But I don't think it was unclaimed. Dead blazemen littered the brick floors and I could see empty bottles where someone had drank a bunch of potions. I wondered if whoever it was was still here. I followed the trail of dead blazemen and empty bottles in hopes of finding a spawner. And I did. It was only a few minutes away from the entrance. Blazemen were already spawned and waiting to set someone on fire. But I didn't see anyone near it. I thought for sure someone else would be here.

I drank my strength pot and began to head towards the blazes. Some almost got me a couple times, but I was pretty fast.

Although I was killing them, I didn't feel strong. If anything I felt like I was getting weaker. I just ignored the feeling and kept on fighting. I couldn't get distracted or else I'd be up in flames in less than a second.

It was getting worse. I felt like everything was getting smaller. My sword seemed heavier than it actually was. My chest was beginning to feel heavy too. What's happening to me? I tried to slay out the last few blazes, but I failed. Flame balls shot out towards me and I deflected them with my sword, causing it to fall completely out of my hands and behind the blazemen. This is bad.

I took off running towards the exit. I can't fight if I'm feeling like this and my sword is gone.
I didn't get far. Before I knew it my side was starting to burn, the side of my shirt was on fire. I was trying desperately to put it out with my hands. And that's when I noticed something not right.

I had breasts.

I screamed in horror. My voice wasn't even mine anymore. It was girlish. I looked down at my hands, and I knew why my sword seemed so heavy before. My hands were small. I touched my hair, only to find that it grew ten inches and it was curly.

I was a girl.

More flames flew past my head and I ducked. I can't think on this now. I have to get out of here before I burn to death. I hissed in pain as one of my pant legs caught on fire. I'm going to die here and no ones gonna recognize me because I'm a girl. Please for the love of god let me get out of here alive.

Through my prayers, I heard a whistle. I opened my eyes to see the blazemens attention were on something else. Or someone else. A sword slashed through their necks and one by one they dropped on the floor like flies. Who saved me? It must have been the person who left the trail of bottles.

"You know, you shouldn't be here alone. It's dangerous."
I looked up at the voice, and blue eyes met brown. It was Tom. Oh thank god.

I sighed in relief and wiped the sweat from my forehead. "No one would go with me anyway." Oh god, I still sounded like a girl.
Wait. Did Tom know-

"Why wouldn't anyone wanna hang out with a hot chick like you? You seem cool." He gave me a look that I'd never seen him use before in the two years that I've known him. He was hitting on me. He was flirting with me. Oh my god. This isn't happening. This is a bad dream.

"Come on, I'll take you back to the portal. You need that burn treated." He held out a hand for me to take. What choice do I have? I can't say who I am. He'll literally murder me.

"S'okay. You can trust me. My names Tom. What's yours?"

Name. I can't say Jordan. What's a girl name? I couldn't think. It's hard to think when your best friend is hitting on you.

"Er...Jor-Julie. It's Julie." Julie. That's a good name. He smiled wider when I told him the fake name. I feel horrible for doing this. He thinks I'm a girl and I'm lying to him about it.

"Well Julie, I know a doctor that could treat your burns. You wanna come with me?" He held out his hand again.

I took it this time. He pulled me up, which caused me to wince from the burns. Maybe I had more than I originally thought. He noticed my wincing and his face changed into worry. "Hurt when you move?"

"Yeah..." I touched the large burn on my side. It looked really bad. Maybe I would have to go to Dec. But I can't have more people thinking I'm a girl.

My thoughts were interrupted when Tom suddenly moved towards me and scooped me up into his arms. Oh my god this can't be happening...

"I'll just carry you there. Not that long of a walk. Now you can enjoy the view while we get back." He winked at me and I nearly gagged.

Why is this happening to me?

~

"Okay Miss Julie, you're free to go. Although I recommend no trips to the nether any time soon." Dec flashed a smile in my direction. Now he's hitting on me. What did I do to deserve this?

"Now that you're patched up and everything, you gotta place to stay the night? I don't think you should go home this late. There's mobs everywhere and you might get hurt." He wants me to stay with him. I can't! I need to find out why the hell I turned into a girl and how I can get back to being a guy! My communicator began to ring. I lifted it up to see that Wag was calling me.

"Um, I have to uh...go call someone. I'll be right back." I jumped off the hospital bed and scurried out the door as fast as I could.

"Hurry back~." I heard Tom sing. Help me Ianite.

I closed the door and stepped into the hallway, pressing the answer button in the process. "Wag I need to talk to you. It's really important and-"

"I need to speak with you as well. The potion I gave you, it does not posses the ingredients to make you stronger, it...does other things. Are you feeling any nausea or any sickly feelings?"

The potion did this. Wag turned me into a girl. He is so gonna get it when I get back there.

"Wag I am a woman and Tom and Dec are hitting on me at the same time. I am scared and I am severely confused. Please help me." I didn't want to spend the night at Toms. I wanted to turn back into Jordan. I don't like being Julie.

"I can make the reverse potion but it's going to take a long time. Just tell Tom and Dec that it's you and that I accidentally made the wrong potion and gave it to you. I am sure they will understand."

"Wag, if I tell them I will never hear the end of it. I can't be teased for being a woman for the rest of my life. I'm already getting enough of that for being a copy cat."

"Then just...pretend to be a woman for awhile. Who knows? Perhaps you will enjoy it."

"No I am not gonna pretend to be a girl! Tom wants me to come to his house! What if he does something weird?! And how long is awhile? Hours? A day?"

"Er...a week?"

I can't be a girl for a week. I can't do it. I've been a girl for an hour and I'm already questioning so many things.

"Wag, I can't do this for a week. There's gotta be something you can give to me today. Please."

"I am truly sorry Jordan, but I cannot whip this up in a day. I will inform Martha of what's happened and she can assist you with...feminine things. I must get to work on this reverse potion now or I won't get finished. Goodbye now."

He hung up. An entire week of being a woman. I'll never make it.

"Hey, everything all right?" I heard a British voice ask. I turned to see Tom poking his head out of door with a curious look on his face.

"Yeah it's cool. I'm just gonna...go to the bathroom. Where's the bathroom?" I had to make up excuses to avoid his invitation.

"Down the hall, last door on the right. You sure you're okay? You don't seem like it." He stepped out of the room and moved super close to me, his fingers brushing against mine. Ugh.

"Fine. Gotta go." I ran to the bathroom and locked the door behind me. I stared at the toilet bowl in front of me with confusion. How do girls even use the bathroom? I mean I know they sit but what then? I decided to wait another time when Martha could explain it to me. I sighed and went over to the sink to splash some cool water on my face. When I looked up at the mirror, I was shocked. No wonder they were all hitting on me.

I was hot.

I had long curly black hair that went down to my waist, thin lips, cute button nose, and a slim figure. I was every guys type. Maybe...this wouldn't be so bad. When I was a guy I looked gross and weird. Now that I'm a girl...I actually look attractive. I could totally get a guy to fall head over heels in love with me.

I could totally mess with Tom.
All those years of constant teasing and being pranked almost every day. I could get revenge by breaking his heart. I already have the looks down pat, I just have to learn how to be a girl with a good personality.

I'm going to break Tom Syndicate's heart.

"I don't really have any girl pajamas or anything. I mean I would ask my best friends girlfriend but I'm pretty sure they're asleep right now." Tom was trying to set up his DVD player so we could watch movies, which was my idea. I thought I was doing a pretty good job at flirting. I even called him Tommy once or twice. It was painful, but it worked. He nearly fainted when I called him that.

"I could wear one of your shirts..." I smiled innocently. His eyes went big as quarters and he rushed off to his room to grab a shirt. I am amazing at this.

He returned later with an oversized T-shirt that had his favorite bands name painted on it. He always loved slip knot. I hated the band. They played hard core metal that could literally make a person deaf.

"You like slip knot too? They're my favorite band." I lied.

"Really? You like them? Most girls hate metal...god you're amazing." He sighed dreamily. I took the shirt from him and headed to his bathroom to change. I took off my black t-shirt and slipped on his. I looked in the mirror to see how I looked. My green shorts sorta made me look really awkward.

Should I take them off? That would really set Tom off...

I took off the shorts and tossed them with the rest of my clothes. I headed back towards the living room, trying to practice swaying my hips in the process. When I finally reached it, I already knew what I wanted to do. Tom was sitting on his couch looking through his DVDs, unknowing that I was in the room.

This is going to be good.

I leaned on the wall and tossed my hair back, trying to be as sexy as I could look.

"Tommy~" I whispered.

His eyes flickered up to mine, and they immediately went as big as planets. His mouth fell to the floor and he suddenly forgot all about his DVDs.

"What movie are we watching?" I walked to the couch, swaying my hips like I practiced. By the looks of his face, I was really getting to him.

"U-Uh, I d-don't know. What do you uh, wanna watch?" He was a stuttering mess. I'm too good at this. I say back down on the couch and curled up next to him.

"Anything you want." I whispered in his ear. I could feel him shiver underneath me.

"O-okay."

~

Throughout the movie, I tried my hardest to make him as attracted to me as possible. It was really weird. I held his hand, traced a finger over his arm every one in awhile, and even sat in his lap for a minute or two. At that point, he wasn't even paying attention to the movie. He was a mess just trying to deal with me.

After a few minutes of sitting in his lap, I felt really awkward so I got off and sat back beside him. Trying to be sexy to your best friend is weird.

When the movie was over, he was still a stuttering disaster. "Um where d-do you want to s-sleep? I have a guest bedroom and a c-couch."

"Could I maybe sleep with you?" Why did I suggest that?! It's for the revenge. Remember that. Revenge.

"Yes please...I mean uh, sure! Just come with me." He took my hand and led me to his bedroom. I started to feel sick. He wouldn't try anything, would he? Of course he would! He's a player and he always bragged about all the women he slept with. This is bad. Why did I want to do this?

The next thing I knew, I was in Toms bed, waiting on him to come back from changing in the bathroom. The sick feeling in my stomach grew every moment I spent thinking. What if he came back naked? Oh my god. What have I done? I'm gonna have to sleep with him and I'll never be able to live this down...

I could feel tears wetting my cheeks. I don't want this. I shouldn't have went to the nether. I shouldn't have asked Wag for a potion. I shouldn't have-

"Are you okay?"

I looked to the door frame and saw a fully clothed Tom standing in it. He looked so worried. He walked closer and sat next to me on the bed, grabbing ahold of my hand in the process.

"Why are you crying? Did I do something wrong? Tell me what's wrong and I'll fix it."

What do I tell him? That I'm terrified he was gonna try to have sex with me?

"I-I don't want to do this. I don't want to sleep with you. I don't like that kind of stuff and I don't-"

"What are you talking about? I wasn't gonna try anything. I'm not like that. Calm down, it's okay. I can make you a bed in the guest bedroom if you want. Whatever makes you more comfortable."

God he was being so sweet. How could I suspect him of doing something like that?

"I'm sorry...I've just had a bad week and everything just seems terrible to me right now...you're a really nice person Tom..." I wiped away the tears staining my cheeks. It wasn't a lie. I was having a horrible week. My friends didn't want anything to do with me, my reactor broke three times and I can't seem to fix it, and now I'm trapped in a girl body.

"What's got you down? Maybe I can help." He brushed a thumb over my hand. It was actually really comforting.

"My friends...they're always mean to me and sometimes...because of them...I feel useless. I don't think they mean to make me feel that way, but it still hurts just as bad." I was mostly talking about him. He always made me feel that way. He always made me feel sort of useless.

"I know it's sort of insensitive...but maybe your friends tease you because they love you. I like to tease this guy, this complete nerd named Sparklez. He's so happy and adorable all the time...I can't help but tease him. Maybe he doesn't know it, but I really love him. He's the greatest friend a guy could ask for. I even followed him into the nether today to talk to him because he's been acting really sad lately...but I couldn't find him anywhere. And that's where I found you. Kinda ironic, huh?" He laughed nervously and scratched the back of his neck.

If only he knew.

"You should tell him."

"Tell him what?"

"Tell him you love him. I know I'd want to hear that from my friends."

"I don't know...sounds kinda gay out loud." He chuckled. The irony is real.

"I'm sure he'd wanna hear it. Won't you tell him for me?"

"I guess...if it makes you happy. And you should tell your friends about how you feel. I think they'd feel bad about making you feel that way."

I smiled. "Yeah. I think they would."

"Well, I'm going to bed. Are you still gonna be sleeping with me or...?"

"Yeah, if you don't mind." I don't know why, but I really wanted to be around him now. Maybe it was because now I knew he was a nice loving person who actually cares about me, Julie or Jordan.

"Alright then. Goodnight Jules." He pecked my cheek and laid down on the opposite side of the bed. I smiled at the nick name.

Tommy and Jules. Such cute omg.

I laid down too and closed my eyes. It didn't take me long to fall asleep. But right before I sank into dream land, I felt a hand wrap around my waist and a small kiss land on my neck. "Sorry, couldn't help myself." I heard him whisper.

I didn't mind. Being a girl was starting to feel a lot better than being a guy.

~

"Wake up, beautiful. I made you breakfast."

I woke up to brown eyes staring into mine. I love waking up to him. I've been staying at his house for a week now and it's probably been the best week of my life. And that sounds really gay, but I don't care. Julie loves Tom and I'm pretty sure Tom loves Julie.

"What did you make?" Another thing I hadn't known about Tom: he was an amazing cook. He made me something different every morning.

"Pancakes with strawberries. You want some?" He pecked my nose with a kiss.

"Yes please."

Half way through breakfast, my communicator began to rang. I groaned and looked to see who was disturbing my time with Tom.
It was Wag. I completely forgot about him making the reverse potion.

"Um, I'll be right back." I told him. I stood up from the table and left to go answer the call.

"Hurry back~" he sang. A week ago I would have barfed at that. But now...it just seemed really cute.

I stepped outside his house and pressed the answer button.
"Hey Wag. What's up?"

"You sound oddly calm. Enjoying life as a woman?" He joked.

"Actually, yeah. It's been pretty great. You were right I guess."

"Well I have the potion to turn you back. If you even want to go back to being a man. You sound very contempt being as you are now."

"What?"

Oh no.

I turned to see those same brown eyes I woke up to this morning filled with anger.

"You're a damn dude? You lied to me?" He asked angrily.

"No Tom it's not what you think, I'm just-"

"Who even are you? Your names not even Julie, is it? Is it?!" He looked so mad. I felt horrible. I made him this way. I broke his heart.

"It's not...I'm sorry." I looked down at his shoes. I couldn't face him. I was too ashamed.

"Er I'm going to go. Goodbye now." Wag hung up. That coward.

"Then who are you? What's your real name?" He demanded.

Do I tell him? Yes, he deserves to know. He deserves to know how much I lied to him.

"Jordan..." I said as quiet as I could.

He didn't say anything. Silence was the only response I got. It was heart breaking. I fell in love with my best friend, and now I'd face his rejection because of my lies. I could feel tears forming in my eyes as I stared at the ground. I felt so ashamed at what'd I'd done.

"Stop crying..." He murmured.

"W-Why?" I sobbed. He should want to see me cry. I've done a horrible thing to him.

"You may have lied and betrayed me...but you made me feel what I've always wanted. Love. And you shouldn't apologize for that or cry about it. I know it's only been a week, but I really do love you. Julie or Jordan."

He wasn't angry. He really loved me like I loved him. God this is so weird.

"And I have no clue why you're a chick...but you're the coolest chick I've ever met. Would have never suspected you were a guy..." He chuckled nervously. I smiled a little.

"You really love me?" It seemed too good to be true.

"Do you love me?" He asked shyly.

"Yeah..." I muttered.

"Then yeah. I love you too, Jordan." Before I knew it, his lips were pressed against mine in a gentle manner. I melted into it. His lips were so soft and smooth. His hands began to explore my hair and my cheeks. This was better than any feeling in the world. I loved him so much.

We pulled away for breath and he leaned his forehead on mine, smiling sweetly while he panted for air. "You're a great kisser. Who would have known?" He laughed and I laughed with him.

A girls life was a lot more complicated than I thought, but I really enjoyed every minute of it.

Maybe being Julie for a little while longer wouldn't be so bad.

HELLO WORLD! HOW ARE ALL OF YOU TODAY?!

I'm feeling exceptionally amazing for some reason. Maybe it's because I'm joining marching band in a few days or maybe it's because I'm eating pizza. Could be both xD
