Link and Colleen peered out the door of the basement, plotting their next move.

"Ok Colin, so you're gonna distract Leif and Lexx while I take the watch. Got it?"

"I think so… which one is which? Like, who's Lola and who's Lana?"

"Uhh…"

"You know what, it doesn't matter. Operation: Sibling Watch is a GO, chica!"

"Stop calling me that!"

The two girls crept up the stairs, careful to be as quiet as possible. They got to the kitchen and finally made it to the base of the stairs, where they saw the twins duking it out at the top.

"GIVE IT, LEXX!"

"OVER MY DEAD BODY, LEIF!"

"Linka, do I really have to do this?" Colleen asked as she rose her eyebrows. "These two look like they're having fun already…"

"Just go! I'll get the watch… and don't call me Linka!"

"Ok, ok! Geez, I'm just trying to play the part!"

Slowly, she walked up the stairs. The twins noticed her, but paid no attention. They were too busy throwing haymakers at each other.

"Uhh… what'd wrong, chicos?"

Immediately, Leif and Lexx were screaming what the other had done to their sister.

"LEIF TOOK MY WATCH AND TRIED PUNCHING ME!"

"NO! YOU RAN ME OVER AND TOOK IT FROM ME!"

"Guys, guys!" she said, pulling them apart from each other as they flailed around. "This is a stupid reason to fight! You know better!"

"Hey, let go of them, Colleen!" the boy in yellow suspenders said, coming out of his room. In his hand, he held a video camera.

"Butt out of it, Lane!" Leif yelled. "You aren't helping!"

"Hey, I'm just trying to get material here!" he said, throwing up his free hand as he walked away. "Not my fault you guys only give me scraps! Ha! Get it? Cause, you know, a scrap is a-"

"WE GET IT!" all three yelled, and Lane walked downstairs. Colleen turned her attention back to the twins.

"Alright, hand over the watch if you can't share it!"

The twins grumbled, but Colleen was right: if they so much as said no, their mom would have them burned alive. Slowly, Leif pulled the watch out of his overall pocket and-

"I'll take that!"

Lynn had run up behind Colleen and snatched the watch out of Leifs hand. Colleens eyes widened as she turned to her other brother.

"LYNN!"

"Ooooh, a smart watch?" he said, smiling as he fiddled with buttons. "Probably have some texts from your crush on here, don't you?"

"Give it back, chico! NOW!"

"Ha! Ya gotta catch me first !" he said, sprinting towards the stairs. Linka was still coming up and was nearly knocked over by her brother.

"Colin! Get the watch!"

"I'm trying, chica!" she yelled as she ran down the stairs after Lynn.

"STOP CALLING ME-"

"We have bigger fish to fry right now, CHICO! There, I said it!"

"Good! Now GET HIM!"

The two chased Lynn around the house for a solid ten minutes, not being able to catch up with him.

"-huh!- Dude! He's gonna find the portal if we don't get him!" Colleen said as they stopped at the top of the stairs, grasping for air.

"I know! There has to be a-"

SMASH!

"OW!" Lynn yelled as he fell to the floor, dropping the watch as he grabbed at his face. The guy the twins had called Luke was standing in his doorway, his fist still clenched.

"You deserve it, dude! You gotta stop being a dick to Linka and Colleen!"

"Whatever…" he mumbled, scrambling to his feet and running to his room. Luke picked up the watch and looked at Colleen, smiling.

"I couldn't let him get away from you, babe," he said as he handed the watch to her.

"Uhhh… thanks?" she said, not sure exactly what he was talking about.

"No problem… hey, you wanna go get dinner around 6 tonight? My treat! I know this really cool place called-"

"Uhhh, I'll get back to you on that one," Colleen said, trying desperately to get the portal open. "Why don't you just-"

"Babe, are you ok? You're acting kind of-"

"DON'T TOUCH ME! I'M STRAIGHT!" She screamed, running down the stairs away from him. Luke wore a face of both confusion and suspicion at the sight.

"Uhhh… ok? Is… is that a problem?"

"It's a long story! I'll tell you later!" Linka said as she ran down the stairs, not noticing Colleen had dropped the watch along the way. Another brother did notice, though...

"Hmm… wicked…" Lars said, picking up the watch. "A perfect night light for my coffin…"

Meanwhile…

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU LOST IT?!"

"I MEAN I LOST IT, LINKA! What do you think I meant?!"

"Colleen, your voice is changing… and I just called you Colleen!"

"Oh, no…" Colleen said, looking at her hands. "Our times running out, chica! We're becoming GIRLS!"

"Oh, God…" Linka whispered, staring into space. "We need to find that watch!"

BANG!

Both the girls looked up the stairs, immediately knowing the portal when they saw it.

"Colin! Uhh, Colleen! We need to get there!"

"GO, GO!"

They sprinted up the stairs, and turning into Lynn and Lars room saw the latter laying in his bed, the portal coming out of his coffin.

"...WICKED…"

"LINKA, HOP IN!"

The two jumped through the portal, and before you could say "gender," Colin and Lincoln were sitting in the hallway, everything back to normal.

"Oh, geez…" Colin said, looking down at his now masculine hands. "That… was crazy."

"You're telling me…" Lincoln said, cracking his back. "Let's never do that again, shall we?"

"AGREED," Colin said enthusiastically. Lincoln walked into his room, and Colin stood up feebly.

"Jesus, this place is something else…" he mumbled, walking downstairs. He sat on the couch and closed his eyes, trying to repel the memories of what had just happened from his head.

"I'm NEVER helping anyone in this house again…" he mumbled, drifting off to sleep.
