Chronos: Time Warped - Only The Beginning

Page 11

~ Time skip to the next morning because...yeah ~

"Oh boy, morning time..."

"Haha..yeah."

Joe stretched in his bed, yawning out loud. He rolled over and patted for his phone, only to realize it wasn't there. And that he wasn't in his bed. Or nowhere even close to his room. He slipped off the bed with a thud and groaned.

"Did you already forget about the body swap from yesterday?" Madi questioned, laughing  as she saw Joe get out of her bed in her body. It still felt so weird not being her.

"...maybe...fucking Chronos, that dumb motherfucker..."

"LANGUAGE!"

Joe's only response was a tired chuckle as he looked for the phone. He could hear Madi's voice, but couldn't pinpoint where it came from. But after all, he didn't have his glasses. Nor did Madi have any.

Madi giggled, and decided to help him out a bit by playing music to make it easier to find her phone, specifically the Beatles. As a joke of course, considering he's the one who's a major fan of them.

"Is that the Beatles?" He questioned, whipping back around to the bed.

"Maybe it is, maybe it isn't..."

"It definitely is, I can tell...oh there's the phone!"

Madi giggled, waving at him when she saw him when her phone was unlocked.

"I forgot I gave you my phone password for a second. I'm surprised the call didn't even end, that's kinda odd."

"And I almost forgot I even had a phone...Madi!"

She tilted her head and raised an eyebrow. "Yes...?"

"Maya answered! For real this time, I'm not sleep deprived or anything...give me a second..." Madi's face lightened up as she read Joe's face through her eyes, trying to get a feel of what the text message could be about. It was kind of early though, which was the mystery.

"Is what she said good news or bad news? Also, are we telling her about the body swap?"

He nodded his head, combing his feminine bed head hair out his face. "I think we should. She's gonna flip the fuck out when we tell her though. And she just said hi, cause I forgot to type my message."

Madi simply laughed, "No duh she's gonna flip!"

Joe scrambled his fingers across the keyboard, shrugging. "I mean, you're right. I'm just going to tell her straight forward before I get it mixed up, cause now I'm tempted to try and portray you."

"I wanna witness that. Cause then, I get to portray you."

"But the thing is you already have, and you did a good job at it. Now it's my turn."

Madi sat back and crossed her arms. "Fine then, I'll just watch everything play out, just to see if you do it properly." Joe stared blankly at the screen before poking the camera with his finger.

"But...I already...sent the message to Maya...boop."

"What did you say to her?" Madi questioned.

"Uhhhh...in my exact words, 'Maya, you're not gonna believe me but I need to tell you this. This is actually Joe, I'm trapped in Madi's body, and Madi is trapped in my body. You remember Chronos right? Well, he did all of this. And both me and Madi thought reaching out to you would help in some type of way so we could switch back.'"

"Hopefully she believes us..and I hope Timothy got our message..somehow."

Joe gasped and scanned the room immediately. "The sketchbook! We need that...what did I do to it?"

"I think you put it on the bedside table last night. At least, that's what I saw you do."

Sure enough, the sketchbook was right where Madi said. But instead of it being closed, it was opened. It was opened right where the drawing of Timothy was, fortunately.
