Well, I'll admit, I can be rather moody. Sometimes I write stuff that is full of action and sometimes I just want to have fun and I write lighter things like this one. Hope you'll like it:P. And excuse my plot bunnies if the ending is too...me :P.
"This is utterly killing me! I just want my body back. And I don't get anything from what was written on that stone."
"Oh come on. I admit that it is annoying, but it has its benefits, you have to admit that. You get to see me naked."
"Not my idea of seeing you naked, Nikola, thank you very much."
"So you did have another idea of seeing me naked?"
"Nikola, really. That is not the point. You don't want your body back?"
"I do. But not before I finish my research."
"What research, Nikola? I thought I told you to stop watching me naked."
"I did. But I recently discovered that you have a very sensitive neck if you know what I mean. Just imagine what pleasure a vampire could give you under these circumstances. You'd be panting in his arms in less than one minute."
Helen cursed him mentally. He couldn't stop hitting at her, not even when he was inside her body and vice versa. "Well newsflash, Nikola. I am the only vampire alive at the moment. So I don't think I can do much."
"You just had to remind me that hadn't you?"
"Well I'm sorry, but you got us in this mess. And I don't see you struggling too hard to find a way to get us out."
"Well, actually, I can't do much. I could do a scan of the stone, but since I don't have any magnetic powers at the moment…"
"Alright. Show me what to do."
"Give me your hand."
Helen hesitated at first but in the end she gave up and she let Nikola move her hand- well, his hand, actually- over the stone. It didn't take her long to feel a shiver that traveled throughout her body. Like she was tied with invisible strings to that stone. Pulsating and vibrating strings that burnt her skin. It was a wonderful feeling, she had to give Nikola that. But besides that, there was another thing. She didn't know that it was just Nikola's body reacting to the touch of Helen's hand, or if it was her mind that told her that holding hands with Nikola wasn't that bad.
"What are you feeling?"
"Life." The words left her mouth before she could think too much about them. "The stone is alive."
"Alive as in…"
"I can't explain. It just feels like it's alive. I will need to make some scans to be sure but I think that there is an Abnormal inside it."
"That would explain the wish thing."
"It would explain why someone heard you, Nikola, but not how it made your wish come true. I mean, this whole transfer thing is scientifically impossible."
"And yet here we are. Thank God this didn't happen in the 19th century, that's all I'm saying. Me, wearing a corset? You have to be kidding me. Don't you dare giggle, Helen."
The two of them were interrupted when Nikola's phone rang. More out of habit, he answered it, but it was a big mistake.
"Nikki, are you there?" the voice at the other end asked.
"In a minute…Helen, get me out of this, It's Doctor Coats. Try to sound convincing."
"OK. How do you call her? Honey? Darling?"
"Are you jealous, Helen?"
"Shut up."Helen took the phone. "This is Nikki here." She said, stressing each word nervously.
"Nikki, thank God, I was so worried! You promised you'd help me with that project and then you disappeared and I thought something happened to you."
"I'm fine, Dr. Coats. I just… got a little busy with something."
"What? Don't tell me you and that annoying British chick from the Sanctuary finally got together."
Helen felt like throwing Nikola's cell phone out the window. "I thought I told you I am not available, Dr. Coats. Maybe I'm not waiting Helen, but you are clearly not on my list."
"But Nikki, you said we had something." The woman on the other side was starting to cry and Helen almost felt sorry for her. "Did you?" she whispered to Nikola, who shook his head in denial.
"Niko, would you please leave that woman alone and come back to bed darling?" Nikola shouted, loud enough to be heard. "Are you mental?" Helen whispered, but Nikola was just having too much fun to stop there.
"Who was there?" Dr. Coats asked. "Niko, please, just because you are such a stud it doesn't mean I won't lose my patience with you sooner or later." Nikola continued.
"I will explain this later, I have to go now Dr." Helen said, trying her best to end the call before things got worse.
"I knew you were with that English chick. How the hell can you love her, she is so old for you!" It was a lot more than Helen could endure. "At least she doesn't call me Nikki. Really, woman, don't you realize that it's totally emasculating? From now on I'm Dr. Tesla for you is that clear?"
Before Helen could say another thing, Nikola snatched the cell phone from her hands. "Thank you darling. I never liked Lynn anyway."
"You're mental."
"And you are just delicious when you're jealous."
"I'm not jealous. But really, now. I'm not too old for you."
"Of course you're not. Well, then, anyway, first step complete. Now I only need to be you for enough long to break you up with Johnny and we're done."
"Or we could find a way to get back into our own bodies and break up by ourselves with whoever we want to break up."
"Speaking of which, I may have figured something out. You said that the stone is alive."
"Yes."
"Well, maybe the reason it stopped helping us is because we brought it here. You know, change of habitat and all that."
"Are you suggesting we need to take it back?"
"I'd say it's worth a shot. Maybe we pissed it off when we brought it here."
"OK then we'll get going. But we need to take a shower though. Both of us."
"At the same time?" Nikola asked cheekily.
"You already know the answer to that question Nikola."
"What big deal? You know how you look naked."
"Yes, but your body doesn't know. I am not willing to take the chance. I don't know if I can control your body that well. So I'll go first, then you'll follow."
"Are you really letting a guy lead? That's a first." Nikola mocked her.
"I am still a girl, Nikola, no matter in which body I am trapped. If you started considering yourself a girl just because you're inside my body that is not my problem." Helen spat back.
"Very funny. Well, at least, we established an order. You know normally I'd say that you don't have to worry because I am not so easily turned on but since it's you we're talking about… I don't want you to get any problems."
"Exactly. It's hard enough to walk with this thing between my legs thank you, I don't want it to get even harder." Helen grunted under her teeth before leaving the room.
"Just give me some time after we get out of this mess Helen and I guarantee I'll make you like it. Not so sure about the walking part afterwards but…"
Helen simply ignored Nikola's last words and headed to the bathroom. She avoided looking at any mirrors, knowing that if she did, she would have seen Nikola's deliciously guttery grin all over her face. And her mind was already too deep in gutter for her to afford anything like that. Yeah, that was exactly what she was going to do. Take a shower, no peaking, as least touching as possible, and then she and Nikola were going to take the stone back and get their bodies back. And afterwards… she would do her best to get Nikola's body out of her mind. But of course, that was a lot easier said than done.
