I wake up the next morning feeling like shit. God, me and Matt really shouldn't have gone overboard on the alcohol last night. This wouldn't have happened if Ben were here. Speaking of Ben, he should be coming back with Jenna today. Wait, I almost forgot about that weird dream I had. I guess that’s what happens when you think a little too much of something before you go to bed, but something about it felt… Familiar, almost like deja vu, but my dreams can sometimes feel like that.
I look at the clock, it looks like it’s 10, I really should take a shower and see if I can fix this hangover before I can call Ben and see how he’s doing. In the shower I noticed the skin near my hips had almost an orangish tint to them… It was odd, but I chalked it up to being just the lighting as it had almost a similar tone.
Once I finished up my shower and dried off, I went and called Ben to see how he’s doing and to wish him and Jenna a happy birthday.
“Hey Ben, Happy Late Birthday.” I say once he picks up
“Hey sis, how was yesterday? Hopefully, you two didn’t do anything regretful or stupid. I really don’t want to clean up any messes when I get home” He said
“We didn’t do anything like that yesterday and besides I already cleaned up, so don’t worry about that. We just mostly hung out and rewatched some old My Little Pony episodes.”
“Really? What episode did you watch, or did y’all watch one of the movies? I bet it was one of his favorite episodes.”
“We watched the finale.”
“I might not be an MLP expert, but isn’t that episode the one that Matt hated? I’m pretty sure that was that strange episode where Discord straight up betrays the main characters.”
“That’s the one. I don’t know why he wanted to rewatch that episode but we did. Anyways, are you and Jenna on your way back soon?”
“Yep, if everything goes to plan we should be back sometime this evening. If anything happens I would call or text you. I’ll see you later.”
“Bye. Gar Gar” I said before hanging up the phone
I froze for a second when I hung up the phone Gar Gar? Wasn’t that the same nickname that Smolder gave her brother in that one episode? Why did I call him that? Hopefully he didn’t notice or care but knowing him, he may just have been as confused as I am. Once I finished talking to him I finished picking up the rest of the mess from yesterday.
Once I finished up, I laid on the couch and turned on the tv. There wasn’t much on so I just watched whatever I found interesting. Soon enough, it was soon a little past three, and I was nearly asleep at this point before I got a phone call. Thinking it was from Ben, I picked it up but it turned out to be from Matt.
“Hey Matt. What’s up?”
“Yeah, hey Sam. Say, did we do anything weird or stupid last night?” He asked. He sounded a bit nervous, I wonder what he did to make him act like that. He normally doesn’t ask anything like that when we celebrate our birthday, even when we do drink.
“Uh… No, I can’t recall doing anything strange yesterday. We were a bit drunk last night so there is a chance of something happening last night. Why do you ask? Did something happen?”
“Well, I would tell you but you’d probably think I’m crazy or something. Besides, I’d think it would be better if I showed you in person.”
“Ok….. Well, you can come over here to show me.”
“Alright, I’ll be there in about 15 minutes. See ya, Smolder.” He said right before he hung up
That was strange... First, he wanted to show me something strange and that I wouldn’t believe him and second, he called me Smolder again. Something's not right but I guess I’ll have to wait for him to arrive to see what’s going on. Several minutes pass, and he soon arrives. Once he walked through the door, I could tell what he was talking about over the phone.
His hair was longer and a bit more wild looking than what it looked like last night. His hair is usually pretty short, but now it looked about as long as my hair. Another strange thing was that his hair looked tinted at the bottom. Most of his hair was its normal blond color before shifting into a pattern of two colors. One part would be a very light blue that’s almost bordering on being white while the other part is a much darker blue. I looked straight at his eyes, which were now an unnatural purplish color instead of a normal brown like they always were.
“You see what I’m talking about? This isn’t normal! We must have done something yesterday to cause this…” He says before slowing down. “Dude, did you get a haircut today? I don’t remember your hair being that short?”
I looked at him confused for a moment. “What are you talking about? My hair’s the same length it was yesterday.”
“I think you really should look into a mirror. You’ll probably understand what I’m talking about when you do that.”
“Fine, I’ll do that. I’ll be right back. Stay right there.” I told him before I walked into the bathroom and looked into a mirror.
I was surprised to see that my hair was much shorter than it was last night… But, that couldn’t be right. I’d remember getting a haircut. Normally they're down to my shoulders, but now they’re up to my head. Another thing I noticed was that my eyes looked off, not off as if they were another color but off as my pupils were now a different shape. They now were in a slitted shape, almost like something you would see in a cat or a reptile, not a human.
None of this was right. Did we do something like this last night? I would have remembered but nothing was coming to me, so I came back into the living room with a perplexed look on my face, and I saw him sitting down on the couch.
“You see what I mean? We must have done something last night that caused all of this. But, I still don’t remember doing anything like this. Hopefully we don’t have any other problems to worry about besides having to fix whatever the hell is going on with us.”
“Well about that, Ben and Jenna are supposed to come back in a few hours. So we only have a matter of time before they come back and see us.”
“Shit, that kinda makes it worse now that we have to worry about ourselves and the fact that those two are coming back. We need to fix this quickly before they return.”
“I have a feeling that this is going to be quite a long day.”
