== Plot ==
Miley/Matthew is sulking as she is still trapped as an eighteen year old girl and has to deal with a constantly shifting personality and her younger feminine minded alter ego has been causing more issue for her. She has been forced to go back to High School and Miley takes every chance she gets to flirt with another guy named Parker much to Matthews annoyance. She thinks how her Miley side is now aware of the Matthew side and has been doing everything to take over such as selling some of Matthews belongings and trying to establish her side of life as more dominant. What's worse is that Miley seems to be gaining strength and popping into control at random times instead of just swapping back and forth as Matthew gets a text from Parker only for Miley to take over for a moment and send a flirty reply. 
When she gets back home with Sherry her now ex-wife turned mother she is greeted as if Miley is in control much to both of their embarrassments. Sherry also announces that her and her new boy friend Johnathan have been getting very serious and wants to meet her "daughter". They have proposed a weekend where both Sherry and Miley stay with him and his son around Miley's age. While not excited to have to pose as the women she's in conflict with or truly accept life as a teenager again Miley agrees to the weekend knowing it will be important to Sherry. Sherry also asks if Miley has considered going to college and trying to build a new life with the younger body and second chance she's been given but Miley is still hesitant to embrace it all. 
That weekend Miley and Sherry arrive at Johnathan's place and make introductions. While Johnathan is very kind and expressive Miley is still upset by seeing her former wife kiss him and to make matters worse it is revealed that Johnathan's son is none other than Parker, the guy her Miley side has been flirting with for a while. While this just makes the situation worse for her Matthew side Miley does her best to behave for Sherry's sake. Later as Miley is shown to her room by Parker she manages to talk him out of doing anything flirty or romantic saying how if their parents are dating it would awkward for them to try and start something right away. Parker understands and while he seems to be a nice guy Miley still doesn't want to let her Miley side win out. Unfortunately Miley seems to surface long enough to do some mild flirting and kiss Parker on the cheek. 
Later that night when the whole group is sitting down to dinner and talking Miley surfaces briefly again to answer some of Johnathan's questions on what she likes. Sherry picks up on this but her Matthew side reasserts itself but is now stuck touching Parkers hand and with Johnathan offering to help her get into Malborne University as her Miley side had mentioned. Despite the continuing conflict Miley manages to get through dinner and head to bed. As she gets ready however her Miley side seems to speak to her like a separate voice in her head. This is the first time she has actually managed to face and talk with her Miley side as her Matthew side and the two argue back and forth about who deserves control over the body and their life. Now that they can finally talk with one another Matthew tries to make peace and make a deal where they can share the body 50/50 and find a life they both compromise to live. Miley however argues that he can't go back to his old life as long as their body is the way it is and that she deserves dominance and proposes a 70/30 share in her favor. Seeing her as bratty and beyond reason Matthew struggles to take over again and succeeds but he can still sense her Miley side is not gone. 
Meanwhile downstairs in the kitchen Sherry and Johnathan flirt and talk about their kids getting along and maybe making things more serious between them. Their flirting quickly turns into foreplay and they both head up to the bedroom to have sex. Miley eventually hears their moans and goes to investigate only to be shocked to see Sherry and Johnathan having a rather passionate night. At first she is grossed out at watching her ex-wife turned mother have sex with another man but after a short time of admiring both of their bodies she begins to get aroused and even go as far as to fantasize about joining them and having sex with a man herself. After watching the two of them finish Miley is a mess of emotions. On one hand she is happy for Sherry to have found a man who treats her so well but is sad she/he is no longer that man. On the other hand she is horrified at having just masturbated to watching them both have sex and getting off on it but also still feels so attracted to the idea of having sex with a man. So confused and conflicted Miley heads to bed hopping to calm her mind and at least get some sleep. After she drifts off to sleep however she is visited by Lorrain Rose who has resumed her Fairy godmother guise and come to put her plan to help Miley into effect. Lorrain senses the conflict within Miley's mind has only gotten worse and with her arcane sight sees that her Matthew and Miley sides are even more at odds now. To help Miley and put her mind at peace Lorrain uses a special spell to merge both sides of her mind together to end the fighting and give her the ability to live her own life free of Miley's control and Matthew's depression. She leaves hopping that her work will be successful. 
The next morning Miley wakes up and finds her mind much more at ease. After thinking about hanging out with Lilly or getting her nails done she starts to get confused as to why she is having thoughts from both sides of her. She then finds a note left by Lorrain saying how she's calmed the storm in her mind and if she ever needs help or has questions to call Kailey and ask for her. Miley is still confused but realizes that this Lorrain seems to have merged both sides of her so she now has parts of both Matthew and Miley in her mind but as one person not two conflicting entities. Miley begins to experiment a bit and find out who she's attracted to. She starts by pleasuring herself while looking at both male and female models witch leads her conclude she is now bisexual. Miley then dresses herself rather nicely and admires her female body now much more content with out the leftover Matthew parts of her mind hating female life. She goes down to talk with Sherry and Johnathan for a bit over breakfast. They both say how they're planning a date night and how she and Parker will have the house to themselves but Miley asks to go shopping with Sherry before then. Sherry agrees but is confused as to why Miley seems to be displaying both sides of her at the same time. 
Later at the mall Sherry and Miley go shopping and she questions her on how she is acting now. Miley explains that somehow both sides of her seem to have merged so she is now more content with being an eighteen year old girl again and willing to express her feminine side but she still maintains her memories as Matthew and some parts of his personality too. Sherry is happy she won't be swapping back and forth and in conflict with both sides anymore but wonders where that leaves the two of them. Miley admits that despite remembering how the two of them used to be married she feels Sherry was born to be a mother and is willing to now live life as her daughter knowing she can find a new and happy life with Johnathan in Matthew's place. She also begins to talk about how Miley's crush for Parker seems to have persisted and wants Sherry's help to swoon him a bit. Sherry is accepting of the new situation and the two shop around a bit as Mother and Daughter each picking out a dress to impress their respective men. 
Later that night when Sherry and Johnathan are out Miley plans to take Parker up on his offer to watch the rugby game together and make her move on him then. However as she passes the bathroom she finds Parker in the shower and admires his naked body and size of his manhood just before he steps out and is embarrassed to been seen by her naked. Despite the awkward moment the two flirt a bit back and forth and agree to make their night in together a mini date with Parker cooking Miley a good dinner before the game. A short time later the two are cooking and flirting back and forth in the kitchen as they prepare dinner. As they eat Parker is surprised by some of Miley's more boyish interests like sports and superhero movies and Miley relates to Parker much better now that she has feminine urges with masculine personality traits. The two also discuss college options and Miley begins to think she may in fact want to try college out and get the most out of the new younger life she's been given. 
After dinner the two watch the rugby match together but after a short time of talking this moves into flirting and finally foreplay with the two admitting their attraction to one another and wanting to try things out. Miley and Parker both admire each other's bodies and begin to have sex. Miley gives her first blowjob and is overcome with pleasure as Parker eats her out. The two continue a bit and after Parker climaxes once they decided to move to the bedroom where Miley is so enraptured by Parker's muscleman body and huge manhood and in little time is swept away by the pleasure of being pernitrated for the first time. The two of them continue to have a passionate session together until they both hear their parents return home. Both too embarrassed to let Sherry and/or Johnathan see them in this state they manage to stay hidden and tell the two they are working on homework to avoid being caught. Despite the issue, Sherry seems to sense what's really going on and leaves the two to finish up. Parker asks Miley about continuing this and she agrees that they both seem to have chemistry and should officially start dating despite the fact they may end up as step siblings at this rate. 
The next morning Miley finds Sherry downstairs and as expected she confirms her suspicions on what she and Parker did last night. Miley is embarrassed but Sherry promises not to tell Johnathan until Miley and Parker are both ready to be open about it to both him and her. The two girls talk a bit more and they agree with Miley now without the whole split personality thing and more embracing of life an 18 year old girl that they can both start anew this way with Sherry having a serious relationship with Johnathan and officially being Miley's mother and Miley having a do over life as a girl and being able to be with Parker. Both are happy for the new lease on life and embrace as Mother and Daughter. Soon after Johnathan comes in happy to see both of them happy. Miley then mentions how she wants to take him up on his offer to help her get into Melbourne University and how she can have a fun time as a college girl unlike her more boring life as Matthew. Now that she's found peace of mind Miley has come to fully embrace her new life and body.
