JETTAAAAA!!!!!

*It is absolute pandemonium. There are elder flowers blooming everywhere, tree-people running about trying to harvest knowledge and growth-syrup turning everything huge. In the midst of it are the Gerbilzzzz Gang, looking about them in a sort of silent horror.*

Italics) What... The... Hell...

Phoebe) I'm as confused as you, and I have the added senses of a great gerbil.

*Phoebe looks around for Hope and Glory, and sees them pressed against a wall.*

Phoebe) Hey!! Girls!

Hope) Yes?

*Phoebe jumps and turns around. There are Hope and Glory everywhere!!*

Phoebe) WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON??!!

Italics) Who're the real ones?!

Hope) We all are, just from different posts. Those ones must be from before you found out that we can talk!!

Phoebe) That could explain a lAAAAAAAAA!!!

*A portal thing opens and an Italics falls onto her.*

New Italics) Sorry!

*Phoebe looks up and sees...*

Phoebe) JETTA?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

*Jetta is frantically pressing buttons on a sort of remote control. She is very pale.*

Jetta) I wanted to give you a fright! I was jealous, so I tried to get the tree people back! But I've lost control!

Glory) We can see that!

*Just then the Boss runs in.*

Boss) What the f*** is happening?!

*Phoebe, Italics, Hope and Glory all point towards Jetta.*

Boss) We have a situation...

Italics 1, 2 and 3) Oh no! What will happen?! Will this place be sorted out, or will previous plot lines continue to fall on our heads for ever?! Find out next time!!

Italics 1) Very good, that, I liked the...

Italics 2) Oh yes you're really quite the guy...

Italics 3) Well, I say a job well done...

DUN DUN DUN DUUUUUUN!

Training and assessing...

Trainer) Oh your marks, get set... GO!

*Everyone starts the obstacle course. The first thing is a beam hanging some way off the ground. Phoebe crouches for a moment, then springs up and lands on it easily. She runs along it and comes to a rope. She goes fully gerbil and scrambles along, using her sharp claws to grip it. She reaches the other end and stops. Her ears go down as she looks at the pool of water in front of her. She phases to half way and, taking a deep breath, jumps in. For a moment she just splashes around, trying to get calm. Then she pushes off with a strong stroke and swims to the end. She clambers out, soaking wet but triumphant. The next thing is a maze, but it's covered so there's no light. Phoebe just smiles and runs in.*

*A while later. Phoebe stops and pricks her ears. She can hear the sound of whimpering near by. She follows the sound along another tunnel and comes across a huddled figure.*

Phoebe) Saffie! What's up?

Saffie) I'm lost! And I can't see! And I can't hear! And I can't smell! And I ca--

Phoebe) Ok! Ok! I get it! Follow me, I'll find the way out.

Saffie) But how can you?!

Phoebe) I'm a gerbil!! Going along pitch black tunnels is what we do! Now come this way, I was on the right track before I came this way, so follow me...

*They go back to the tunnel Phoebe was in before. They go along a bit further, then...*

Phoebe) Whats that?!

*Her ears go back against her head slightly as a high pitched pipping echos through the tunnel.*

Voice) ME!!

Phoebe&Saffie) kight?!

Kight) Yes! I'm lost!!

Phoebe) But you're a bat aren't you?!

Kight) Yes, but that doesn't stop me from going down the same tunnel twice!

Phoebe) Come with us, we'll take you! I can smell it when I've already gone down some place.

*They continue walking for sometime, gradually picking up more people as they go, and when they finally reach the end, they have most of the teenage Phases with them.*

Phoebe) Look! Light!

*They all run towards it and spill out into a a huge circular room. A load of people who are sitting behind desks look up in mild surprise.*

Woman) Very good. The first ones back. Well done Phoebe, full marks!

Phoebe) Well, I, I...

Man) You not only completed the tasks very well, but you also helped all of these others out from the maze. Well done!

*Just then Jetta comes stumbling from the tunnel. She is dirty, dusty, disheveled, and very very wet. She forces a smile on her face. She hasn't noticed the others yet.*

Jetta) *Breathlessly* So, I'm the first one, am I? Good, because I--

*Some one clears their throat. She looks round.*

Jetta) WHAT?! I AM NEVER LAST!! I HAVE TO BE FIRST!! NO ONE CAN HAVE BEATEN ME!!! I AM PURELY THE BEST! NO ONE CAN HAVE GOTTEN HERE BEFORE ME!! NOT LEAST HER!!

*She points savagely at Phoebe*

Jetta) SHE CHEATED!! SHE MUST'VE! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!

*She faints*

Phoebe) Ouch... she can yell...

Italics) Oooh dear... Jetta is NOT happy...

Phoebe) How did he get in here?!

Woooooow... that felt weird...

Italics) Recap: There is a war-- the good Phases against the bad Phases. Phoebe was bored of being human so she wanted to 'get turned' into a Phase. Whoa.

*Everyone is standing at the bottom of a flight of stairs. (Not just the Gerbilzzzz Gang, but loads of other people too) Suddenly there are a laod of yelps and gasps coming from the doors at the tops of the stairs. Then silence.*

Hope) What just happened?

Glory) No idea, Italics?

Italics) I think... they all just got phasenated.

Glory) Bless you.

Italics) No! I mean they just got zapped with with whatever 'turns' them.

*They wait a bit more...

.............

.............

.............

..............*

*BANG! THUMP! YELP! HISS! OUCH!... meow.*

Hope) What was that?!

Italics) Don't know...

*More waiting...*

*Suddenly the doors burst open and a load of teenagers run out. Last is Phoebe who does flips down the stairs.*

Italics) Show off...

Hope) So how was it?

Phoebe) Strange... I can't really describe it... it was like something was rushing at me...

Glory) Whats happened?

*She points to a bandage on Phoebe's wrist.*

Phoebe) One of the others, er, 'lost control'.

*She looks meaningfully at a girl with long black hair. She turns away with her nose in the air.*

Hope & Glory) Cat.

Phoebe) Yes.

Italics) So, what do you turn into?

Phoebe) This!!

*She grins and slowly begins to shrink. Her ears move onto her head as the become curved like a mouse. Her nose lengthens into a snout and her teeth grow like a rabbits. There is a rustling sound as a tail grows and in Phoebe's place there stands a...*

Italics) Gerbil?!

Hope) I think it's a great choice. Well done Phoebe!

*Italics starts laughing. How can a gerbil look indignant?!*

Glory) It's a great gerbil actually. There bigger than Mongolian Gerbils.

*Italics is still laughing. He stops laughing when Phoebe jumps up and bites him on the arm.*

Italics) Ooooooooow!!

*Phoebe phases back, but keeps the ears, tail and claws of a gerbil. She looks satisfied.*

Phoebe) That's paid a very old debt.

Glory) So, a Great Gerbil! That's cool!

Hope) Yeah!

Phoebe) Thanks! They're usually not so big, but as I'm a Phase, my animal is bigger than usual.

Italics) I like the tail. It's fluffy.

Phoebe) Maybe the site of blood has made him go funny.

Hope) *Looking at Italic's bite wound* No, I think he's just a bit random. Wow Phoebe, you have sharp teeth.

Phoebe) Thanks!

Girl with black hair) I heard that great gerbils carry some nasty disease! Better keep away from her! *A group of girls around her sneer and giggle.*

*Phoebe gives her an exasperated look.*

Phoebe) Jetta, apparently everything carries some form of disease. But I'd prefer that than hair balls.

*Jetta goes pink and stalks off. The group follow, trying to look mean while trying not to laugh.*

Phoebe) Well, she could be a problem.

Italics) ooh! Stuff is happening! Dun dun dun!

Oh... That explains a lot...

*Everyone is sitting round a table which is piled high with food. They are all stuffing themselves. A woman is holding a deep conversation with Phoebe, while a man explains to Italics and the gerbils what is going on.*

Man) That Terror Lizard was one of the bad guys in the war. All the reptiles are. But there are other Phases who aren't so bad. Like Charlotte over there.

*He points to a girl with ginger hair.*

Hope) She's a cat.

Man) Yes, how could you tell?

Glory) We're gerbils. I think we should be able to recognize a cat.

Man) Fair point. Anyway, we're having a war. The good Phases against the Bad Phases. And we're winning!! We didn't know that there was an impostor here though...

Italics *His mouth full of food* Well *Slurp* it's a good thing *Gulp* that we came here *Swallow* and revealed him!

Man) It sure was!

*With Phoebe and the woman...*

Phoebe) Yes, I'm sure.

Woman) Really? Once it's done, you can't go back.

Phoebe) I'm very sure. Orlaigh Curer became a vampire so I want to become something now.

Woman) Ok.... I'll talk with the boss. But you'll need a special license.

*The Boss walks in.*

Boss) It's ok, Beth, I've given her one.

Phoebe) No you--

Random Dude) License card for Regina Dove!!

Phoebe) Oh, thanks.

Boss) No problem. You helped us catch the impostor! You have to be rewarded!

Phoebe) Awesome! So you'll do it?

Boss) Sure.... Come with me...

Italics) Ooh... I wonder whats happening... Well, I hope that we'll find out soon!

WARNING!! This post has very violent and grusome events in it!! Young children should be discouraged from reading it!! --Blogger.

 *Phoebe is looking at a corner of a cell. In it is Italics. He is bound so tightly in chains that you can't even see his body, only his head. There also 3 cages around him. The walls of the cell are renforced concrete. Whoa.*

*Phoebe turns her head very slowly towards the man. Her face is purple.*

Phoebe) You let him go now or I'll detach your head form your body.

Man) I'm afraid that you need a special pass to order anyone like me around.

Phoebe) But I have one.

Man) Lets see then

*Phoebe holds out her hand and the man bends closer. Phoebe then slaps him around the face.*

Man) You... I... don't.......................... YOU HAVE NOW MADE ME REEEEEALY ANGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*He starts to turn red. Then redder. He isn't just flushing. Red scales are pushing their way out from under his skin. His fingers lengthen, turn red and sprout horrible long claws. A red lizard's tail pushes it's way out from the back of his trousers and his teeth lengthen to become as long and as sharp as knives. Oh Lord.*

Phoebe) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!

*The lizard-thing takes a swipe at her. It misses but smashes through all the cages and the chains around Italics. He yelps and jumps away.*

Italics) Well, thank you for coming to see me, but NO THANK YOU for releasing a Terror Lizard on us!!

Phoebe) How was I supposed to know that he was a Terror Lizard?!

*They jump up as the lizards tail comes towards them. The lizard's head seems to have gotten stuck in the wall, and is thrashing about to try and free itself.*

Phoebe) Maybe we should run.

Italics) Yeah.

*Halfway to the door...*

Phoebe) WHAT ABOUT HOPE AND GLORY?!

*The lizard has got it's head out of the wall but it still thrashing. You can see 2 shapes scurrying about under it's shirt.*

Phoebe) Oh no!

*Then several people run in. They point huge ray guns at the lizard and fire them. He begins to shrink back to his normal human size. Hope and Glory run across to Phoebe.*

Phoebe) Don't scare me like that!! Now come here and let me hug you!

One of the people) Thank you!! Is there anything we can do for you?

Italics) An explanation of WHAT THE HELLS BEEN GOING ON might be nice.

Person) Come with me...
