Judy/Rose Saber P.O.V

Brian, Tak, and I were watching a couple of clowns. There was a fat one chasing after a thin one. Then the fat one reached into his own mouth and pulled out his tongue. He pulled it out so long that he was able to use it like a lasso and lassoed the thin clown, then pulled him into his mouth where he swallowed him whole.

The fat clown smiled and said, "Don't miss the big show tonight."

The thin clown's stuck his head out his mouth and added, "It's going to be a ball."

Everyone laughed. The clowns sure didn't do anything like that on Earth.

Just then I saw Debra who had Toby by the hand leading him somewhere. Toby looked as though he was on the verge of tears. I wondered what could have happened to upset Toby so much.

Toby/Zeronia P.O.V

This can't be happening, I told myself. I mean, just when I was getting used to turning into a girl, this happened.

Debra took me to an alien bathroom away from the crowd and locked the door.

"Are you sure it's a period?" I asked Debra.

Debra nodded. "You have all the symptoms."

"But you could still be wrong, right?"

"I don't think so," Debra said. "I've been through it more than a few times myself. Every girl has."

"B-but I'm a guy," I protested.

"But you're in a girl body," Debra shot back. "One-hundred percent girl."

I reached into the pouch on my belt and took out my wand. "I would just change back into a boy and that would fix everything.," I said brightly.

Debra placed her hand over the Zeron crystal on my wand. "I don't think that would be wise. What would happen when you have to turn back into a girl again? You could be just prolonging everything. No, I think it would be better if you remained a girl and ride it through. Now, sit down."

I placed my wand back in my pouch and sat down on an oddly shaped alien toilet.

Debra crouched down and gazed into my eyes. "Listen to me, Toby," she said, "I haven't brought any with me so I'm going to see if Judy has one."

"What?"

Debra took a deep breath and said, "A tampon."

I stare at her in shock. "Do I really need one?"

"I'm afraid so."

As Debra was about to turn and leave I quickly grabbed her arm.

"Please, don't tell anyone about this," I pleaded.

"I won't tell anyone," Debra promised. "I'll just tell Judy that the tampon is for me."

Debra walked to the door, then paused and gazed back at me and said, "Oh, and, Toby, you may want to mark this day on your calendar." With that, she was gone.
