 Hi everyone, this is Webby Vanderquack, and let me start off with the most important thing.

ME AND YUUGI ARE SO, SO, SO SORRY!

Okay, so, everyone swapping minds and bodies and stuff? Me and Yuugi were trying to use a spell to change our species - so I could feel what it's like to be human, and he could feel what it's like to be a duck. We thought we had it perfected, but clearly we didn't. We didn't mean for all that to happen! And we'll never try anything like that again, we promise.

But! If you want to look on the bright side, maybe this whole experience gave you some insight on your fellow classmates? They say the best way to learn about someone is to walk a mile in their shoes!

... Really, super sorry.

Hi, it's Yugi, and we really are very sorry. We didn't intend for this to happen to everybody. Just ourselves, as Webby explained. It had nothing to do with the staff or with the researchers, so please don't get upset with them.

[woo_oo]

Good of you to include the staff, Yuugi! I hope they're not too mad.

[this one got him good, especially on the heels of that mirror thing from the research project. nothing like being stuck in your brothers' bodies to remind you just how inconsequential you, as a person, are, and how little people notice, is he right? of course he's right, but he's the middle kid, so it doesn't matter. he tacks on a note in the simplest handwriting he can muster]

yeah no try harder

[woo_oo]

[oh, that's just a stab in the heart]

We really are sorry! What can we do to make it up? I'll do anything!

[couldabeenturbo]

[with any luck she won't be able to tell it's hi-- oh who are we kidding, this is Webby! obsessed with the Duck family down to the last detail. it won't matter if he didn't write his D's with extra panache, she'll still know it's him]

maybe FOR ONCE stop trying to be someone you aren't. just. be. you. trust me. it's more than enough.

[woo_oo]

More than enough? What do you mean?

[couldabeenturbo]

i meeeeean you seem to be the only person who doesn't like you and realize you're awesome.

[woo_oo]

[aw shucks.

also that totally gives away who he is 1000000%.]

Thanks, Dewey. It is nice to hear. You're awesome too.

[couldabeenturbo]

stop it I need to stay mad at y~~~ whos Dewie is he the green kid

[woo_oo]

You really think I don't have your handwriting memorized?

[couldabeenturbo]

Oh come on, that was my super special disguise handwriting and everything! ... I guess it makes sense with your grandma only being the best spy ever and all.

[woo_oo]

Here's a tip - next time, try writing with your non-dominant hand!

[couldabeenturbo]

What does that even mean?

[woo_oo]

Instead of writing with your right hand, try writing with your left!

[couldabeenturbo]

OH! ... See, that makes sense. For a second I thought I'd need to arm wrestle myself and see which hand won. And that just wouldn't be cool. Taking arms against myself.

[woo_oo]

Yeah, you'd be all up in arms.

[oh dear god this is turning into a pun-off, isn't it]

[couldabeenturbo]

How do you negotiate a self-arbitywhatsit, anyway?

[healingincantation]

Oh, so that's what happened? Well, I guess you're right about walking a mile in someone's shoes. It was kind of like an adventurous way to get to know one another.

I don't think either of you need to worry so much.

Sincerely, Rapunzel

[woo_oo]

I hope so. I've made so many friends here, I never wanted to upset them.

[healingincantation]

Of course you didn't. You're very sweet, Webby.

I understand, though. It can be scary when you're worried you've made someone you care about mad.

[woo_oo]

Have you ever done anything like this before?

[healingincantation]

Well, no. But I know that when Mother is upset with me, it's- Stressful.

[woo_oo]

Yeah, I know when I disappoint Granny it's like wearing cement shoes, minus the mob ties.

[things small children shouldn't know for 200, alex.]

[healingincantation]

I didn't know the made shoes out of cement.

[woo_oo]

You don't want them. Just like you don't want crushing, all-consuming guilt!

[healingincantation]

I don't really want any shoes, but I guess that's not the point.

I'm sorry you're feeling so bad. I really do think everyone will forgive you in time!

[woo_oo]

Thanks, Rapunzel. I'm willing to wait as long as it takes, and do whatever it takes to earn it.

[healingincantation]

Well, you have mine already, for what it's worth.

Really, switching with Hayley for a while was a good way to learn more about her, you're right.

[woo_oo]

Oooh, really?

[healingincantation]

Sure. For one thing, I found out that Hayley sings when she has more than one head because she can't speak when she's that way. I always thought she just had more fun that way!

[woo_oo]

Wow, I didn't know that either! That's so weird!

[she means it in a nice way.]

[healingincantation]

I guess it is, yes! Well, it's interesting, anyway.

[woo_oo]

I wish I'd been in your body, so I could feel all that hair!

[healingincantation]

It's really not that exciting, to be honest.

[woo_oo]

Different is always exciting to me!
