Jon's Pov:

My head hurt for some reason. I didn't know what happened. I tried to remember but I couldn't. Maybe later, it wasn't that important right now.

I could feel was laying on the ground. I suppose I must have fainted. But why? Eduardo would make fun of me and say I'm weak.

I heard some familiar voices but my headache was so strong that I couldn't say who it was. 'Where am I?', I thought.

I opened my eyes slowly to see Edd and his friends. They were nice but Eduardo always wanted to be better than Edd so I couldn't be friends with them.

But then I noticed they were in OUR house. They broke into our house?! Eduardo would be very angry if he noticed they were here. Where was Eduardo?

I gave a whimper of pain when I stood up. I felt very sick. I thought I might have hit my head because I heard Tom saying something he wouldn't say.

"Oh no! He is awake!", Tom shouted.

"Yeah, we can see that Ma- I mean Tom", Matt answered.

I was confused. What were they doing in OUR house? But then I had a flashback.

FLAAAAAASHBACK

Eduardo was staring out of the window and I and Mark talked about something I asked him. It was about Eduardo and how he treated me. Mark didn't like it to see Eduardo 'mishandle' me.

"One day he will see you are his friend and not only-"

"Mark! Jon!", Eduardo called us.

"We are only a few steps away, Eduardo. You don't have to shout.", Mark responded.

Eduardo didn't answer this comment. "You remember this ginger bought an amulet yesterday, right?", he questioned us.

"Why do you care about an amulet they bought?", I wanted to know.

"Isn't that obvious?!", he yelled. "It means a lot to them! I saw the ginger bringing it in there like a trophy!"

I looked to Mark. He seemed to be unfazed.

"And why do you tell us about this stupid amulet now?", Mark wanted to know.

"They are going to town. We can take this amulet and keep it.", he grinned and drank some of his diet cola.

"And what will we do if they come here to ask us if we have it?", I wanted to know.

Eduardo spined around and grabbed my jacket. "I wish you were dead!", he hissed. It hurt to hear this words but I wouldn't cry. I was a man not a crybaby. "They won't ask us!"

"Eduardo, let him go!", Mark commanded. "He didn't do anything."

I was living with Eduardo and Mark for a few years now but my relationship to Eduardo hadn't changed: He still treated me like I was useless. It hurt a lot. Mark said Eduardo had to vent his anger on somebody, and because Edd wasn't in Eduardo's near all day, he vent his anger on me.

A few minutes later we were standing in front of their house. I didn't think it was a good idea to broke into Edd's house but Eduardo didn't have any problem with it.

"Are you sure they are really not here?", I whispered nervously.

"I wouldn't be here if I wasn't be sure they aren't here, idiot!", he snarled. "And now stop being the pain in the neck."

"I won't break into their house!", Mark annunciated.

"Then look if they are coming back.", Eduardo growled. "But you will help me, Jon." He grinned and opened the front door. I didn't know how he got the key of their house but I didn't really want to know it.

He laughed when he saw the amulet on the table. "Too easy!" He grabbed the amulet and inspected it while he took a sip. "It looks like rubbish."

"Do you really think this is...a good idea?"

He thrumped his diet coke on the table. "Stop being such a coward! Do you even know how wimpy and stupid you are?!" He planted himself in front of me threateningly.

"What are you doing in there?!", Mark shouted from outside. "They can come back any moment!" Eduardo mumbled something.

We walked outside to Mark. I think he heard our conversation in there because he didn't look very happy.

Eduardo locked the door again and we went to our own house.

"You are stupid, Eduardo! What if they notice we were there?", Mark asked Eduardo.

"They won't. Shut up!", Eduardo growled while we walked in the living room. "Take the amulet, idiot, and hide it somewhere." He thrusted the amulet in my hand.

"I think you don't believe they find it out?", I questioned him.

"Just in case, idiot!", he shouted. Why did he always call me an idiot? I wasn't stupid. Why didn't he see how it is to be me?

Suddenly I noticed the crystal in the amulet glowed. It began to fill the whole room. I was terrified so I throw the amulet on the ground and screamed. Then everything became black.


"Who are you supposed to be?", the man in the red hoodie interrupted my flashback.

'Supposed to'? What did he mean? I was confused. I felt like something was wrong.

"I... I am Jon. Why are you asking?" Why did my voice sound so different?

"Yeah, they switched bodies.", Matt said to Edd.

"What?!", I shouted. What was going on? Why did they tell me something like that? This wasn't realistic!

Matt sighed. "You have a mirror in your hoodie, do you?", he asked Tom.

"Of course!", he answered. Why did Matt ask him if he had a mirror in his hoodie? Tom didn't really care about his looks, that was the thing Matt did.

Matt fetched a mirror and gave it to me. "Please don't freak out.", he mumbled.

"Why should I freak out?", I wanted to know and looked in the mirror. Then I screamed.

"I said: Don't freak out!", Matt growled.

"I...I...I am Mark!", I stuttered. "I am Mark! How am I...?"

"We should explain it in the kitchen. I don't want to be here when Eduardo wakes up.", the man in the red hoodie suggested.

"Fine.", Edd answered.

"O-okay.", I replied. I was totally confused. How could I be Mark? This was impossible!

We walked to the kitchen. Matt, Tom and the man in the red hoodie sat down on the chairs. We only had three chairs in here so me and Edd were standing there.

"Why am I Mark now?", I asked them.

Matt sighed. "That's a long story. It is all caused by-"

"AAAAAHHH!" This was my voice. Whoever was in my body right now, discovered in whose body he was. "What the fuck?!"
