Winters pov
That morning I got up with a spring in my step. Sure I didn't get home and to bed until one in the morning and got six hours of sleep, but I've never felt better! I kissed a boy! And not just any boy. I kissed KID FREAKING DANGER! And I've figured out a pretty good system for myself. As long as I don't find anyone or pretend not to find kid danger then I keep going to school! I know it's temporary but for now it will work. And I have a date with Henry tonight! Does that count as cheating on kid danger? Because I mean, I'm kind of two different people stuck in the same body now. And it's killing me not to know who kid danger really is! He looks so familiar but I can't figure out where I've seen him before! I got dressed and started to head out. "Wintersmyth! I almost forgot to tell you! I'm going to pick you up an hour early from school for a 'doctors appointment.'" Fireball said. I got nervous. This better not involve hurting anyone else. "What are we really doing?" I asked evilly. "As you may have heard, Swellview is running its brand new, biggest, best train today. With 500 people on it!" My stomach dropped to my feet. "And we're going to cheer them on?" She laughed like I was joking. "Oh course not! We are going to crash it!" Im pretty sure I was sweating through my clothes. I hope she doesn't notice. Why do I feel like an imposter in my own home? Oh right. That's becomes I am. I still haven't figured out how to get out of this. But I guess now I have the bigger issue of getting out of crashing a train! I thought hard for a minute. Then I thought of something. We can't get to the train if it's going to be guarded by the toughest superhero in Swellview! I can call the captain man hotline and tip them off where and when we will be there then when we show up they'll stop us! But how will I disguise my voice? I quickly glanced around and the vocal modular on the table caught my eye. "Well I should be getting to school!" I said starting to back away. "We do have a kid danger to find!" Fireball said back. "Right! Because that's why I'm there! Totally focused on the mission! Bye!" I spun around and pretended to bump into the table and I grabbed the modular. "Wintersmyth be more careful!" Fireball scolded. Good she didn't notice. "Sorry!" I said then ran to the slide. "Up the slide!" I called and swooshed away.

Henry's pov
I can not wait for tonight! Both parts! I get to see winter at the diner and wintersmyth at the park tonight! It's not really cheating when I'm two different people. But who is wintersmyth really?! It's killing me! She looks so familiar! She has to go to our school so that's probably why. Even if I knew who she really was I wouldn't turn her in. I meant what I said when I said she wasn't like the other criminals. I'm not even sure she is a criminal. I was at my house getting ready for school when my watch beeped. I opened it and Ray popped up. "Henry I might have to pull you out of school early. We got a tip that fireball and Wintersmyth are going to crash the best and most crowded train in Swellview!" "They're going to crash Swelltrack?!" I panicked. "Not if we stop them! Just go to school and if I beep you tell the school you had a family emergency." Then he hung up. There's a chance 500 people could die! But that's not even what I can't believe. Why is Wintersmyth doing this? Was she lying the whole time? Was she just trying to mess with my head so she could get away with whatever she wanted? But what if she's being forced by fireball? What if she doesn't want to do any of it? I quickly called Ray. "What henry?!" He asked. "What did the voice sound like that tipped you off?" I asked. "I don't know. I think it was a man." "What exactly did he say to you?" "I said, 'what's the problem?' And he said, 'fireball is going to crash the Swelltrack train!' And I was like, 'how do you know?' And he was all annoyed and was like, 'I just know okay?! It will be this afternoon.' Then they hung up." Ray had been making weird voices trying to sound like the caller. "Why?" He asked. "I was just wondering who it was. Thanks." I hung up. Suddenly my mind caught something. The voice that called said that Fireball was going to crash the train! But they didn't say anything about Wintersmyth! That means it could have been her! Who else would know where they were going to strike? She must have been using a voice modular to hide her voice. I have to tell Charlotte all this. I got to school and found her. I told her everything. "So Wintersmyth is not evil?" Charlotte asked. "That's what I'm still trying to figure out. I'm not sure she is." Charlotte looked skeptical. "She could just be playing you. Trying to get inside your head so she can find out things about you." She said. "Then why is she telling us about her plans and asking to be stopped?" Charlotte thought for a minute. "The caller may not have even been her." She said. "Trust me it was her." I saw winter walking over so I quickly changed the subject. "But did you know that caterpillars go into cuccoons? Who knew?!" Charlotte pretended to laugh. "Hey guys! What are you talking about?" She asked curiously. "Caterpillars. In cuccoons. Apparently." Charlotte said and looked at me. "Okay... Well come on Henry! First period is about to start." Winter said. She's so pretty. Wait. What? Do I like her? No. We're just friends. We went to class. The whole day was pretty boring. Maybe that's just because I was waiting to stop a crashing train. We were sitting in chemistry when my watch triple beeped. Really?! We are about to present the project that winter already did for me and now I can't even help her present it?! Ugh! "What's that sound?" De asked noticing the beeping. "Uh I don't know but I have to go." I said. "What? Now? But we're about to present!" I felt bad about this. "I know but it's a... Uh family emergency." She looked disappointed but nodded. "Alright go. I'll cover you." She said. "Yes thank you! Your the best!" I shook her shoulder then ran out the door still feeling guilty.
