For Sam.

[neptune_sleuth]

Veronica had woken up in her room to the familiar sound of screams. She wondered, afterward, if she ought to be disturbed by the fact that she was used to it now, waking up to hear horror and confusion echoing off the walls, her first reaction being to check that she and Lilly were still themselves and still girls

Sam had been up late the night before, trying to just get everything done with his patrol and trying to keep things in order and then there was an argument with Dean about the prank war and how maybe they should declare truce, just for a little while.

He'd passed out late and was still asleep, deep in REM and oblivious to the sound of screams, until the knock at the door. Sam turned over in bed, peering blearily to see if Dean was around and pushed to his feet, stumbling towards the door and pulling it open, rubbing at his eyes. It was either Dean or Veronica or someone else visiting.

Okay, so a girl at the door was... a little disconcerting, actually, but Veronica shrugged it off. She didn't know what was up with Dean's love life or if he even had one, but it so wasn't something she was interested in finding out about.

"Hi, sorry," she said, since it looked like she'd woken her up. "I was just looking for Sam. Is he in there?" She leaned a little to the side to peer around the woman and into the hut.

Sam just stood there, staring at Veronica in shock and wondering since when he'd gone all invisible. "Uh, Veronica?" he offered.

Oh.

Oh, okay.

So that girlish pitch of his voice and looking down -- okay, breasts, yeah, that was weird -- and he was more on Veronica's level and his ... her eyes widened.

[neptune_sleuth]

And that was when Veronica turned her head back and up - but not that far up - and looked, really looked, at the girl in front of her. All she could do was stare, mouth hanging open and the words not coming at first. At last, she just said, "Oh god."

[unchosen_son]

Sam was still operating in a good ol' state of shock, eyes wide as she stared at Veronica, staring right back. "Veronica, I think we just became lesbians," he said, trying to put a decently positive spin on this whole thing.

Oh god, Dean was gonna flip.

[neptune_sleuth]

Veronica's laughter was high and choked, and she had to force herself to cut it off before she just kept laughing and laughing, more hysterical than amused. Because this - this was okay, she could handle this. Been there, done that, only... only really not.

"I so don't swing that way," she said, head shaking, bewildered. What was she supposed to do with this? "So... uh, you hadn't noticed the whole thing where you were, you know, a girl yet?"

[unchosen_son]

Sam got the puppy-dog look on her face and had no idea how it would look. "I was sort of really tired. I was catching up on a lot of IPD paperwork...?" Sam offered her excuse.

[neptune_sleuth]

Oh, that was weird. Veronica bit her lip, wondering if she'd really looked that much like herself when she'd been a boy. "I woke up to the usual morning call of people screaming," she said, mock-cheerful. "Intact, as you can see. I just... thought I'd come say hi, get away from the madness."

[unchosen_son]

"Yeah, this is freaky for you, isn't it?" she deduced, sitting on the bed and picking the too-large t-shirt off her frame, rubbing a hand through her hair. "Dude, this is weird for me. I've never turned into a girl. This is so worse than being possessed," she decided.

[neptune_sleuth]

Veronica grimaced, following Sam inside and, after a moment, sitting down on the bed next to her. "I got turned into a boy last year," she admitted. "It was... really not good." She sighed. "And yeah, it's a little freaky, but... Being possessed has to seriously suck."

Sam just glanced over at Veronica and offered a sheepish smile, peering down at herself. "This is pretty much taking the Weird Cake, I'll admit," she conceded. "I mean, I really never thought I'd ever know what it's like to have breasts." She wiggled her toes, checking that this really was happening. "Or be short," she added.

[neptune_sleuth]

"I never thought I'd be dating someone with breasts," Veronica replied, trying for a little levity in that direction, too. It was that or point out that Sam was still taller than her, even now. "It'll only last a couple days, if it's like last time."

[unchosen_son]

Sam just gave a loud and warm laugh at that. "So, you have a few days when your boyfriend has access to the ways of the female mind. Figured out how to take advantage of the situation yet?"

[neptune_sleuth]

"My boyfriend has access to the ways of the female body," Veronica pointed out wryly, grinning a little anyway. "The mind is still a dark and mysterious place. I don't know if you can actually access that."

[unchosen_son]

Sam just smiled. "You could draw me a diagram," she reminded Veronica, lifting the collar of the shirt. "Huh," she said, pretty evenly. "Yeah, that's something you just don't see every day."

[neptune_sleuth]

Veronica looked down at her own. "Actually," she corrected, "it is for me." She flashed a lopsided grin at Sam. "You, however, get to stick to your own. You know your brother's going to have a field day with this, right?" And she could only imagine if Logan found out.
