Dark Seegnal screwed up his face thoughtfully as he gazed at me. "You know, your male form looks a lot like your female form."

"Toby, how come you didn't change back into a boy?" Brian wanted to know

"I-I," was all I could think of to say as I gazed down at my still female body, or at least what I could see through my over-size shirt.

I knew it must have something to do with my period. It was preventing me from changing all the way back to Toby.

"Toby, your eyes," Judy said.

I turned to her. "What about my eyes?"

"They're blue."

"My eyes are blue?" Whenever we transformed into Zeron Warriors our eyes would change color to match the power of our Zeron crystals. My eyes always changed purple. If my eyes were blue, then that would mean...

I raced over to a stone bench and tried to lift it. I couldn't even budge it. It was true. I was still a girl, but I wasn't a Zeron Warrior. I was just an ordinary girl with no superpowers.

Debra came up to me and placed a hand on my shoulder. "Toby, I think you've better tell them," she said quietly.

"Tell us what?" Brian said.

I turned to face everyone. I felt my cheeks burning. It was just so embarrassing to admit it.

I took a deep breath, then came out and said it. "I-I'm having my period."

Brian howled with laughter.

"Don't laugh," Debra snapped at him. "It could happen to you too, you know!"

That shut Brian up. "it could?"

Debra nodded. "If it happened to Toby, then it could happen to you."

Dark Seegnal rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "I thought you were a bit moody today."

"I wish you would have told me this sooner," Tak said. "Now you're screwed."

"But I would be able to turn back into a guy again, won't I?"

"I don't have all the answers, Toby. I know that you think I do, but I really don't. But if I were to take a guess I'd say that the program in your wand that reconstructs your DNA from male to female must have reacted with the changes in your body and kept you in female form."

"But I would be able to turn back into a guy once I'm done with my period, right?'

Tak stared at me. "Maybe."

"Maybe?"

"It's also a small possibility that you may be stuck in that body for the rest of your life."

I felt dizzy. "The rest of my life?"

"I said a SMALL possibility," Tak reminded me.

I wanted to cry and I did.
