*Michael's POV (Sophia's body)*

I somehow found my way to a bus stop, then the train station, then to my parent's house. My mum's car was sitting on the driveway, the grass was green and the whole front garden looked the same as it did before I left to London. I walked up the porch steps, took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

'Coming!' I heard my mum's voice from inside the house, causing me to smile. A few seconds later and the door opened to reveal my mum in an apron and gloves.

'How can I help you?' She asked, slightly stepping out of the house. I had no idea how I was going to explain to her that I was her son.

'Hi, um, I don't how to explain this.' I shook my head.

'If you're here for Michael, he's not here at the moment. If you're a fan, please leave us alone. This is Michael's private place.' She nicely said.

'The thing is, mum, I am Michael.' I said.

'Yes, i'm sure you are.' She laughed. 'Michael is in London right now, sorry.' She said, going to close the door.

'Mum, wait.' I said, putting my arm in between the gap.

'Don't you dare come any closer or I will call the police.' She warned.

'How can I prove that it's me?' I asked. She just shook her head and tried closing the door again.

'Remember that time when I was five, and you, dad and I went to visit uncle Jack out on the paddock and we rode the horses? Remember how I fell off and almost electrocuted myself? Or when we went to Bali and fed the dolphins a few years ago and one almost bit me.' I said, bringing up memories from the past to try and make her believe me.

'How did you know that?' She asked with a frightened expression.

'Because it's me. Now come on and let me in otherwise I'll jump the fence like I always used to.' I smiled.

'It really is you.' She whispered. 'But how?' She asked.

'Somehow I swapped bodies with a girl. This is her body, but my soul is just inside of it. She's in my body in London right now.' I explained.

'What if you're just some crazy stalker?' She asked, having second thoughts.

'I'm not, swear on Puffles life.' I said and pinky promised her. Puffles was my dog and meant the world to me. 'Come inside darling, we need to catch up.' She said and invited me into the house. She took a cake out of the oven, made two coffees and came over to me.

'So how do you and this girl change back to your own bodies?' She asked.

'Well we only have one chance or we're stuck forever. What you do, is you run at eachother and hope your soul will go back to your oringinal body.' I explained. She thought this over for a few minutes before asking another question.

'Why are you in Sydney?' She asked.

'Because the girl who's body I sawpped with lives in Sydney. That's where I'm staying now, with her mum and little brother. I'm planning to go back to London sometime soon though.' I said.

After a few more hours worth of conversations I decided I should probably head home considering i'm meant to be looking after Lachlan.

'Bye mum!' I called as I walked out of the door and found my way back to Sophia's house again.

'About time you're home.' I heard Lachlan call from inside. I saw him laying on the couch playing the play station.

'Can I play?' I asked, grabbing a controller.

'You hate video games.' He said.

'That's only because I had no idea how to play, I do now.' I said.

'Fine, but you're going to lose.' He said and added me into the match.

After playing an intense game of black ops ending in me beating Lachlan, I reheated the pizza from last night.

'I heard you're going to London soon.' He said and picked at a piece of pizza.

'Yeah, i'm going to see some friends.' I smiled.

'Can I come?' He asked.

'Sorry mate, but I won't be able to look after you and it's too expensive anyway.' I said.

'That's not fair.' He mumbled.

'Life's not fair.' I mumbled. We finished up our pizza and continued on with our game for the rest of the night.

Sophia's POV (Michael's body)

The next day consisted of band practice and a twitcam.

'Why is Michael being so awkward?' Ashton read out a question off the screen. The boys looked at me and Luke nudged me in my side.

'Ow.' I mumbled. 'I'm just watching a youtube video on my phone, sorry guys.' I apologized. I wasn't really, I was actually texting Michael.

'Have you talked to my mum about flights and crap yet?' I asked him. I answered a few questions on twitcam while waiting for him to reply.

'Yeah, I have to wait a month, which means you'll have to play the shows for me. I'll come around the 13th of December and you're returning on around the 26th of December so just under two weeks. I would have got you to come back before Christmas but flights are way to expensive, sorry. Hope you don't mind spending Christmas with us :P' He replied

'Are you fucking kidding me, a month?!' I texted back and felt my face go pale. Ashton noticed this and decided to end the twitcam.

'Well guys, that was probably extremely boring and we're sorry, and we're also sorry that we have to leave now. Bye!' Ashton said and we all waved. As soon as he shut the laptop lid I blurted out the information.

'Michael's coming back in a month, so around the thirteenth. Then im leaving around Boxing Day. My mum won't let him leave now, she wants him to finish school first.' I explained.

'Shit, a month?' Luke asked. I nodded and pulled out my phone to check twitter to see the reactions from the twitcam. 'What, where is Michael leaving?!' I saw a fan tweet but ignored it. My whole mentions and timeline was filled with questions related to me leaving.

'Hey are you guys on twitter?' I asked.

'Yeah, why?' Ashton replied.

'Everyone's going crazy about something to do with me leaving, but how do they know i'm leaving?' I asked and looked at each of the boys. Ashton quickly opened the laptop lid again and to our horror the twitcam was still on.

'Shit.' I mumbled.
