## Plot

After some thought Chris decides to try and mend things with Holly by having a serious talk with her. While Holly is still a bit mad at him when he arrives, he tries to start to talk in the hopes of making things right between the two of them. Holly insists that she's forgiven Chris for the mind reading, but he needs to apologize for being so hostile and distant lately. Chris tells her outright that the reason he's been that way is because he wants the transformations to stop and for her to end her obsession with him turning into girls for dates and sex. Holly still feels he's overacting but Chris tells her he feels like she's no longer interested in the real him and doesn't want to have to be a girl to be with her. Holly claims she does care about the real him but when Chris makes her promise to stop making him transform, he reads her mind to see if she's telling the truth. He senses that Holly plans to talk him back into it at some point and she thinks since her conservative parents would never let her be with another girl a guy who can turn into a girl is the next best thing. Chirs is angry and catches her in the lie, but Holly is furious he read her mind again. After a brief argument about trust and respect between the two, Chris and Holly officially break up. Chris sees that Holly is just using him for pleasure at this point and to hide her lesbianism from her parents. Holly kicks him out and tells him not to come to her going away party no longer trusting Chris to not read her mind.

A week later Chris goes to the Arringtons' house. Nora greets him at the door and detects that something happened between him and Isabelle. He goes up to Isabelle's room, but she is offset by him being there reminding him it was best for them to stay apart for the sake of Chris and Holly's relationship, but Chris informs her that they broke up last week. Izzy is upset at herself thinking she was the reason they broke up, but Chris assures her that they had their own problems and grew apart on their own. After a brief talk Izzy embraces Chris admitting she missed him, and he returns the sentiment. Izzy's pet robot I-Gurr also weighs in and Chris jokes a bit with her much to Izzy's amusement. In short time Chris asks Izzy out on a proper date. While Izzy checks his mana mark to be sure it's really him this time she agrees and the two converse in Archaic Tonge to meet up that weekend.

That weekend Isabelle and Chris have teleported to Japan to have fresh genuine Sushi and talk things out. While Chris struggles a bit with the chop sticks, he does enjoy it much to Izzy's amusement.

Meanwhile back at the Young house Scarlet comes into Chris' room with a hamper of laundry forgetting for a moment he's out on a date. Scarlet enters the room and thinks how it's odd Chris broke up with Holly after so long and just jumped right to Isabelle hoping he didn't cheat on Holly with her. As she sets down the hamper however she finds an open spell book and reads it's a chapter on transformation magic. She then finds a Sphere that seems to be made out of gold (a transformation stone Chris was making) next to the book. She picks it up confused about where he got so much gold, but it zaps her, She starts to feel sick. Her hair quickly turns darker, and her body transforms into Chris' within seconds. Now stuck as Chirs, Scarlet is freaked out. Her fiancé Mark comes up behind her/him and asks if he's seen Scarlet. Scarlet is forced to act it out as Chris too confused and thinking she can't tell anyone what's happened to her. He claims "his mom" called about staying late at work to meet a big deadline but Mark catches this as a lie as he already called her office. Scarlet/Chris plays it off and gets Mark to leave but he wonders if the lies mean she's cheating on him or something. Meanwhile Scarlet is now stuck transformed as Chris still confused and unsure of what to do now.

## Trivia

* It can be assumed that the Gold Transformation Stone Chris was making was made as a kind of revert measure and was set to transform Chris back into himself if he ever got transformed and Blacked Out again after having experienced it so much. Scarlet likely became Chris because his form was set as the "default" and the stone was unfinished, so it transformed anyone who interacted with it.
