entry nine

[ohjeffums]

I don't know what's wrong with me!!! Oh, this is just absolutely horrifying! I can't even begin to explain... but it certainly wasn't there when I went to bed last night!

Jeff, if you could... I'd like you to come over. I'm really scared. Please, please come to my room. I don't know what I should do.

You too?! I'll be right over!

[Woop woop Jeff just has to deliver sum hair ray action to Lash and it's off to Tony's room! Don't mind the glasses-less, freckle-less, brown-eyed boy knocking at your door, Tony.]

[ohjeffums]

[Tony opens the door a bit hesitantly, reeeeeaaaally embarrassed about the state he is in so he's hiding in his blanket.]

J-Jeff... [And then he catches all the differences immediately- WHY WERE HIS EYES BROWN Angela assumes they were blue before and if that's not the case then oops and where were his glasses- did he lose them? Did someone steal them? Oh no. And the freckles...] Jeff!? Wh-what happened to your...

[blondprodigy]

[Waves his hand impatiently!] It- it was some stupid prank, never mind me! But what about you?

[Jeff will just wonder what's with the whole blanket thing. Did Tony contract some terrible fever? That's the worst prank ever.]

[ohjeffums]

About that...

[Oh no this will be awkward forever, not to mention he's trying to come to an IMPOSSIBLE CONCLUSION. Sciency types hate those, right? But how else could he explain it? He retreats further into the room instinctively.]

Jeff, do you think you could close the door? It's terribly embarrassing.

[blondprodigy]

[Jeff willingly obliges, but as he closes the door he wonders if this is a good idea or not. But he's past the point of no return now... and anyway, it wouldn't be right to leave Tony alone with whatever terrible trouble he's in.]

What happened?

[ohjeffums]

[This isn't getting any easier. He bites his lip and looks away, then lowers himself to the floor.]

I wish I knew what happened. Unfortunately, I don't, so I'm going to have to tell you something unbelievable. Here goes.

[He doesn't say anything because a part of him is still in denial. How can he tell Jeff when he knows it's impossible?]

...

......

[blondprodigy]

[Jeff is just kind of staring. The tension in here is so thick you could cut it with a sharp object. Maybe even a dull object. Spit it out, Tony!]

[ohjeffums]

Here, um, maybe it would be better if I showed you instead. [He slowly unveils the strange bulge that is protruding from his abdomen.] What is happening to me? I woke up and my tummy was... well...

I don't know what's wrong with me! [Oh sweet christ on a cracker. The boy is starting to cry.]

[blondprodigy]

[Jeff's interested stare has mutated into a look of SHEER HORROR. But then he remembers what else happened this morning and-- oh jeez is he crying he's crying aaah how does Jeff handle things like this]

Hey! Sh--shh-shh! I-It's okay, Tony. Look. It-- It's fake. [Isn't it? He's going to knock on it to make sure.] Remember what day it is?

[ohjeffums]

*sniff* It's... it's the first day of April, I think... Oh! April Fools Day! [He attempts wiping the tears away frantically but he is still rather worried about his creepy predicament.] B-but... nobody could possibly do such a thing! I don't know whether it's a tumor or bad swelling or a baby, but there's just no way anybody would pull that off on me!

[Was there? He needed to remember what school he was attending.]

[blondprodigy]

You'd be surprised... [He lets out an exasperated sigh and kneels down to check just how this thing is connected. To double-check and make sure it is fake and everything because a sudden huge tumour growth would be horrible. Okay yeah we're good.]

I mean, whoever did this is probably the same person who put contacts on me, painted my freckles, and dragged me into Lash's room in the middle of the night without me noticing. And they shaved her head. I think this is glued...

[ohjeffums]

Well, that makes more sense! Gosh, who would do such horrible, horrible things? Wait... did you say glued?
