The morning had arisen, the sun cast a rosy hue across the sky. Golden fingers of sunlight streamed over crimson curtains. It was the fellows room, Ruis and Zack had already left, while Ender was lay wrapped in his blanket.
As he opens his eyes, abruptly his hair was long enough that it was scattered over his forehead. Yet he started adjusting it, strangely he felt his skin was very soft now and his chest was feeling heavy. Nevertheless, he removed the blanket and gets up, sitting on his bed.
The first thing his gaze went was the mirror which was infront of him, but abruptly now there was a young girl sitting wearing a oversized black t-shirt.. He blushed, but immediately shook his head and started scratching his hair, weridly the girl on the mirror was doing the same movement as him.
Seeing this, he got up and goes straight to the mirror, as usual the girl mirrored him. He checked his hair, chest, arms, his lips started twitching. The girl in the mirror.. Was now him.. Her eyes widened..
"Aghhh!."
What a feminine voice that it echoed everywhere with that, the door burst opened.
BAM!
"What the?.."
Zack appeared, seeing the girl.. He was flabbergasted, then Ruis who had the same reaction.
"M– Miss are you lost?."
Zack asked, controlling himself as he coughed. Now heavy footsteps started approaching them as in no time, the girls appeared as well. Seeing the view, even they're stunned, puzzled at the same time..
While for Ender, she was confused.
~ Why the hell these two are looking so big?.. Wait.. I'm short now!.
Ender panicked, while for bummers who don't know what to do, until.. Professor Leon who was passing by, glanced at the scene. He stood froze, eyes widened.
"W– What have you done?. Ender!."
He roared at him, while Ender turned her head down. Leon sighs. The bummers gave him to came inside as he went towards her.. Ender..
"How come this happen?. You really wish to know how it feels like a girl."
Leon asked, clanging his forehead in low tired voice.
"No!. R– Remember when we have a tour at underground mart. There a person gave me a potion for cheap price saying it'll boost my focus.. So I bought it.."
Ender said with a exaggerated smile, innocent smile. Leon sighs, placing his hand over Ender's shoulder. For a moment a green spark glittered before vanishing. As he took off..
"Well.. You can say it's not a permanent affect, it'll only last a day before it wears off. But yeah if you tried to force it off or over use your spirituality.. It'll be.. Not good for you.."
Leon declared like a tired dad before exiting the scene, the bummers gave him space once again as he was about to depart.
"Oh yeah.. You will stay in another room for a night."
The space aside him opened like small box, many green boxes made their way, opening like a box and there a key chain which he shoved his hand and take out a specific key, throwing it to Ender whom she caught.
As he departs, now for all of them. Who were straight glaring at Ender as if they're still in doubt.
"Why are you all here!?. Go do your work!."
Ender screamed at them, yet Zack chuckled which frustrates her then Sara giggles, as all girls started laughing.
"What's funny!?."
She inquired, annoyed.
"You.."
Misha said in her soft tone, which causes a werid sensation as she subconsciously took a step back. The girls started coming towards her, it was the first time she was seeing them taller than her.
Ender's eye level was lower than all of them, feeling as if she was surrounded, she craned her neck. Mumbling..
"H– How.. Are you?."
Misha put her palm over her cheek, closing her mouth.
"How does it feel to become shorter than all of us?. Ahh Sara you're not on the last place now."
She turned her head over Sara but she ignored her, she and Lisa were looking at her hair.. Murmuring.
"How the hell is her hair this silky?."
While Lisa looked at her body, before tickling her. As she started laughing nonstop begging for her to stopped. As Sara started playing with her hair. While Misha was giggling seeing her reaction.
"Oh dear.. I think we gonna have to change your name for a day.. Shall we?."
Misha said with a teasing smile, placing her palm over Ender's cheek.
"Y– You all don't realize I'm a guy in my soul."
Ender murmured, she was exhausted of laughing off by tickling..
"So what?. You look pretty.. Feminine.. Even your voice.. So we should name you.. Eny.."
Misha declared with a smile as Eny screamed.
"Aghhhaha!."
"Why are they finding him this interesting?. I mean he just became a girl for a day?."
Zack asked Ruis, arms crossed with a nonchalant expression. Ruis thought for a moment and sighed.
"Well.. Seeing our friend becoming a girl isn't normal right?. Even if for a day.. It's not just hard to imagine, but almost impossible.. So yeah, their reactions makes sense.. For us, we just have got good control over ourselves.."
Ruis explained to him which he nodded off, standing before the opened door.
"Hey!. Stop it!."
Eny said, still laughing because of Lisa's tickles. As Lisa relaxed her arms, leaving her off as Eny falls down.
"Hey!. I have an idea wanna hear?."
Sara said with a grin, her fellows subconsciously nodded.
"We'll dress her like a princess!. Ah man we have only a day and I have a whole list for her to wear.."
Sara said gracefully with a smile, thinking how she'll look like.
"Yeah.. If you catch her.."
Ruis snorted, distracting them as they looked down to saw she wasn't there as they heard footsteps fading away.
"Zack!. Get her!."
Lisa ordered as Zack ran so fast as if he teleport.
"Well.. I would keep an eye too."
Ruis said as he scratches his hair, before strolling off. On wide hallway at second floor, Ender was running off as she heard footsteps approaching towards him.
"You ain't going anywhere!."
It was Zack who was almost behind her. How did he came this close, Eny thought before he grabbed her shoulder and leaned her to wall. Facing face to face, he was now getting a clear look of her face..
"Damn.. I never really thought you would look this good, stay like this forever.."
Zack said with a smile, a warm teasing smile. She punches him straight in his face. Backing him off few steps.
"Is this all you have got?. It seems like you're now weaker than you were before.."
Zack pretty much tanked it.. Scrubbing his cheek, yet his thoughts were quite opposite.
~ Damn.. Even as a girl this hits like a steel..
Yet he was able to fake it good enough on surface. Seeing this, Eny got pissed.
"You think this is the only arsenal I have.. I'll show you what I have got.."
As Eny kicked him off with a rolling kick, Zack goes flying before colliding with the wall. She sighs and started running again.
After some distance, Eny felt as if her feet was in a leash. Instantly, it made her hanged upside down.
"Ruis!."
She yelled, crossing her arms over her chest. Now infront of her the space shifted and take a form of tall man. Who was none other than Ruis, still unserious. He was still scratching his hair, looking at her with unfazed gaze.
"Why the hell you do that?. You literally have a Google type ability, can't just search about it. You ain't this dumb.."
Ruis said, composed.
"I– It didn't work, so I decided to try it on you or Zack but wasn't getting a chance.. That's why in the end I took the risk and did it on myself."
She replied, sighing, her arms still crossed.
"Well.. Just take this day as a bad dream then forget it next day, is all I can say.. Will send you off now.."
"Hey!. You need to help me!. Come on!. Or next time I'll make you drink that potion!."
She said, pointing at him yet he was still unfazed as he turned around.. And.. Without warning, Eny felt she was surrounded in water then instantly she got teleported.. Sitting on floor infront of the girls, they're waiting for her.
"I'm screwed.."
She whispered to herself, her clothes were dry as if the water didn't do anything rather than shifting.. Anything..
[ Night ]
It was the beauty room, Eny was sitting on the rolling chair. Wearing a modest red-silver dress. Sara was adjusting her hair.. Long bob haircut.. Lisa was polishing her nails and Misha was applying makeup. Amidst this all the girls had happy smiley face, Eny had a blank, expressionless face.
"We're all set. Let's go!."
Sara exclaimed with excitement, as Misha ordered Eny to get off the seat. Sara and Lisa disappeared to thin air as Misha place her palm over Eny's shoulder, with that they teleported to the bummer's room. Misha made her sat on other couch, aside the girls one.
Ruis and Zack were also there, as soon as their gaze glance over her. Their eyes bursted. As Zack took out his instant camera.
CLICK!
CLICK!
As the photos printed, Zack and Ruis glared at it, watching as if they're checking her existence. Seeing this, Eny clenched her teeth, yet somehow she was still composed.
"Hmm.. 91 out of 100.."
Ruis said with a smile, chuckling.
"100/100."
Zack said with his usual teasing smirked.
"Who!. Told you to rate me bitches!?."
Eny roared, getting up as she crafted a knife. Both got altered and as she was about to charge over them, some golden strings entangled over her arm, abruptly it made her quite calm. As she felt someone patting her shoulder. She glanced to saw it was Misha smiling.
".. Damn.. I thought we're dead."
Zack muttered, his smile made her furious again as she turned her head over them. The knife transformed into a light energy.
"Die!."
She extended her arm over them and..
"Revel!."
A room flashed with intense light, the only thing which kept it not blasted from impact were the concealed seals. Suddenly, someone chanted.
"Throttle.."
The light started fading away before it completely disappeared, amidst the dust on the center was standing Misha, a glowing orb resting over her hand. Eny was shocked to witness this, even the other fellows.
"Damn.. Is that the whole energy output repressed in your hand?."
Ruis asked, startled.
"Yeah."
She lightly threw it at Ruis, who started examining it. Eny was so annoyed that she started scratching his hair. Vigorously.
"Arahh!."
She turned over the door, slamming it opened.
"Go to hell!."
Before she slammed it closed. Everyone was stunned..
"I think we overdo it.."
Zack murmured. On surface he had composed expression yet deep down he was little concerned.
– Come on.. He's good.. But we have to endure his punches tomorrow.
His inner voice tried to confront him.
On the other side, it was Eny on her room who had changed her clothes, the same ones.. He had always weared..
Ender goes to the washroom, The light was dim, uncanny. Standing infront of the mirror.. This day was indeed horrific, nightmare.. Her head down, her hands over sink. She turned her slowly over the mirror. What?.
What more was horrifying was her grin curved over her cheeks, a macilious smile. Her sharp cold eyes staring over the mirror, the air grew dense, as if even the mirror.. Felt fear.. So much that it cracked..
"Hahahahaha!.."
She started laughing, her laughs echoing the room, dread, cruelty curled in her tone. Her hand over her forehead which ran over the back of head.
"Fools.."
She mumbled.
[ That night ]
Ender was sitting on the bed, in his original form. The potion clenching on his hand.
~ God damn.. How can they perceive me as an culprit.. Was I this lost in making myself this perfect that I lost myself..
He thought, looking at the mirror.
– We need to act fast. They aren't dumb. Especially Ruis and Misha.. They are plotting something heavy.
His inner voice mutters to him.
~ Yeah, even if we can't hear their chatter, the way they're talking was indeed.. Quaint..
He sighs, staring over the restless potion.
~ From my knowledge.. This will change my gender for a day.. It would be quite bizarre. I understand the consequences. But.. I got no choice..
Ender said to himself.
– We have to act dumb, annoyed. Just enough.. And Leon.. He'll surely explain us what will happen to us.. But he isn't a give away.. He'll for sure suspect, even a little.. We need to wear the suspection off as soon as possible..
His inner voice guided him. As he sighed..
"I have got no choice."
As he drinks and sleep..
[ Present scene ]
Ender was still laughing like a psychopath. As she calms down. Looking at the cracked mirror.
"Can't believe this works so well. As if Im in the dream.. Well in the end I'm dream. I was someone's dream.. That dream end when she end. Now.. I'm nobody.. Not even me.."
She said in low voice. Her hands over the sink.
– We need to watch out for Leon remember..
His inner voice warned him.
"I know.."
She whispered, as she started laughing again. Crazy like a manic.
